Mugan train 8

"I don't understand. You didn't kill him so easily at first. But. He have already been beaten mercilessly by you now.." Past Jean's voice is full of confusion. Looking at Enmu being slaughtered without resisting.

"That. I was trying to practice other kind of breath. To be honest, I have already overshadowed him at loop 152 324 ."

"And why he doesn't remember this."

"What do you think?" Current Jean asked back.

"I think you make you become exception. Like program, making you remember all of this."

"That's quite correct. I adjust some parts so that only I remember everything. Include my defeat."

"You did this. Are you not afraid that you will be overloaded by those memory."

"Nope."

"Why"

"Not like you. I'm not a complete memory. Just a part of incomplete memory that is still building."

"You are saying. Did you mean?"

"Correct. We are both memory. In fact, real Jean Sophia, is still fighting in real life. With Enmu."

"I thought he is strong."

"Yeah. His ability is quite strong but that is only using on normal person. Normal people's inner mind doesn't have mechanics to respond this kind of attack. Just compare him with computer virus. Computer without anti-virus program is easily attacked by virus. That is why this ability is fatal to normal person."

"So what we are going to do now." looking at severed meat on floor, Past Jean asked.

"We will throw him into abyss of forgotten."

"And how we are going to do that."

"You are the key for me to do that."

The Past Jean looked at Current Jean with cold eyes.

"I see. You want me die so that you can exit this place. Am I right?"

"Guess" Current Jean said.

There is a pause between them.

"So are you going to do th…" a huge explosion interfered. Without doubt, it was Past Jean who attacked first.

"There is no way I believe you. What if you and he are in same side." drawing gun, Past Jean vigilantly observed.

"Come on. We need to cooperate not fight each other. I know you are always in doubt." A smoke dissipated revealing Current Jean.

"Shut up and shut up. I require you shut up."

"Jesus. Does me in past look like this? I know why everyone stay away from me now."

Past Jean pulled the trigger. A rain of bullet roared. Seeing this, Current Jean dodged every single bullet. She tumbled into a desk using it as a shield

"There is no need for extreme violence. I will explain for you."

"I don't need your explain. I only need you die for me."

"Me arrogant to this decree. I need to discipline my action after this." she mumbled.

"Come and face me."

"Okay." a knife was threw at Past Jean aiming at hand. However, it bounced back the moment it touched armor.

"No use. This armor is made with titanium. You can't break it."

"I accept your challenge." Current Jean replied.

A loud sound rang out shattering the air. In a blink of eyes, Current Jean already stood behind Past Jean.

There is a sharp sound tearing the air. Accompanying with that, a sound of breaking glass also rang out. After that, shooting sound was also stopped.

"What. How can this be?" unbelievable scene appeared in front of Past Jean. A very thick bullet-proof glass was cut like a banana. Because of this, a face full of confusion and surprise showed clearly on Past Jean's face.

"Do you understand why I do this even though I will be beaten like a dog for millions time." Current Jean placed the sword before Past Jean's helmet.

"That's not enough to break me." feeling frustrated, the Past Jean drew knife changing from range to close combat. She swings at the person who stood arrogantly before her.

However, it was her weapon that sent flying.

"That's also not enough to defeat me. My old way of fighting is predictable and easy to counter. But. I was changed, Jean. I have an optimistic look about ancient martial art."

"Modern martial art is better than ancient art."

"You are still stubborn like I expected. That's okay. Cause I will teach you a lesson right now. Pick your knife." Current Jean retrieved sword into sheath creating an opportunity for other Jean to pick up.

"You will still defeat me even when I use my gun."

"Okay here is a deal. I will fight you with bare hand. You can use whatever you want. As long as you defeat me, I will do you a favor. What do you think?"

"Even include killing yourselves"

This question made Current Jean's eyes rolling.

"Yes. Including killing myself. Like old rule." Current Jean threw her blade far away from her.

"That's what I want to hear from you." as if Past Jean had a goal to fight. She picked the knife up but that was pretend. She launched a hidden knife under arm armor and aimed at throat.

"Lesson 1: I never underestimate anyone. Not anymore" seeing this underhand attack, Current Jean didn't show any hesitation. In fact, she grabbed tip of knife easily.

"See. If I do this." she twisted the knife force the other Jean discard the knife.

*Clank*

"You will lose your knife. It's not like I'm dead for millions time for nothing"

Past Jean gnashed her teeth. Even the other Jean can hear it clearly.

"Let's me end this quickly" in a blink of eyes, she already stood before. Current Jean kicked her like a ball. A broken bone rang out.

"Ow ow. I should stop kicking the rock like this." she held her ankle trying to dislocate it back to normal.

*Crack*

"There. Back to normal. What do you learn, me in past?"

"Bullshit lesson." she spitted blood in her mouth.

"It seems like you are not understanding me like I understand you. Very well, I will show you my conviction."

"By what. Violence. Beaten. Lie."

"No my friend. Enlightenment. I will prove you what am I doing is necessary. Even It will cost your death." Current Jean picked up the sword marking this as a final fight.

"Fight or begone" Seeing that action Past Jean roared a battle-cry and drew her favorite weapon, Hunter-XI.

Eyes faces eyes. Both of them was observing opponents carefully. As if they can't wait any longer, they both leaped at each other.

*Gun sound* *Sword slash*

"I'm afraid this is as far as I can go" Past Jean mumbled and went faint. After that, the armor was slashed into 2 parts.

"Good grief" a blood gushed out from shoulders. Current Jean inspected the wound on shoulder.

"Still good"

"You know. Actually, I have plan for you." She dug the ground with hands. Revealing a box.

"I don't know why system suggests I shouldn't do this" Looking at the box on hands, it reminded her when system first led her to abyss of endless darkness.

Flashback

"You know this is the most darkest place in your mind."

"Yes, this is what I want. So this is the only core that I have at the moment."

"CORRECT"

"I will enter right now."

End of flashback

This box is a item that I took from that place. I don't know this is the correct choice.

"I will replace you with this" Looking at the faint person on floor, she considered whether should she open the box now or wait until she fully recovers.

"I will take you from this place. Promise "

"You are desperate to that degree. How pathetic." Enmu appeared from behind.

"Did you plan to kill all the life in here?"

"Oh holly shito. He hears all my plans. Hehe" Jean lightly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I guess I have no choice" Without hesitation, she opened the box.

Immediately, a dark mist poured out from the box. It entangled Enmu in just a blink of eyes.

"You actually release them." a voice full of anger rang out.

It entered Enmu body. His body was swollen like a balloon.

Seeing this, Current Jean threw Past Jean into a picture. It was one of her memory. After seeing the other her sank into the picture, she immediately stood up running for her life.

"Come on." she escaped the factory with the picture. A loud sound rang out from behind.

"Where are fucking you now?" it was Enmu.

"Oh. You are still alive." She said with surprise.

"You …" his mouth was full of dark mist.

Seeing this is a chance, she charged forwards. She aimed going beyond this border of memory.

Enmu saw this. Of course, he won't let her go in peace.

He stretched his gigantic arm. Slamming towards her.

"Oh god." seeing the big shadows, she knew this journey won't end well.

For some reason, he missed.

"Thank god." she continued running. Until she slammed into invisible wall.

"This is it." holding a knife, she slashed the wall revealing a dark space. And then she entered it.

"You are going no where" feeling angry, he won't let her go at ease. Using remain his consciousness and strength, he leapt towards her with big body. Only stopped by the invisible wall.

He fumbled just to find for her but no result.

"Fuck you."

Meanwhile.

"Oh. He learns new words. It looks like he is not too stupid as I thought." she was almost dead by enormous hand.

She turned back and ran towards only light in darkspace.

"We are almost here." she, Current Jean, jumped through it.

A few moment later

"Where am I" dizziness, Past Jean held her head.

Looking around, she was in place full of picture.

"This place is different. As if I'm in my world" she spoke in confusion.

"Correct" a cold voice rang out.

She turned towards the source.

"Who there. Show yourself." it wasn't the voice that belonged to other version of her.

"It's me. Your trust accompany. Your system. Do you feel happy when met me?" A humanoid body with a head of number approached her.

"You are my system."

"Like I said, correct. I am what inside you" he clapped his hands to congratulate.

"So where are we?"

"In center of all things." he replied.

"In center of all things" she repeated after him.

"Yes. This is the center of your inner world. A intersection."

"Speaking of this, where is she." as if she remembered her experience, she held system's clothes collar.

"Calm down. This clothes took me 145253 hours to find in your memory and it is one of my favorite suit."

"Why you do this"

"Ah that. For safety between us."

Looking at bewildered Past Jean, he continued.

"She consults me a lot before action. Please pardon me."

"That's fine." she said calmly.

"At first, I want to support my host. Jean Sophia. In this new world, where she is fighting super natural."

"Hmm. Why she didn't create armor or modern gun." she asked

"For this answer, I must ask you back. If you were in stone age, do you have confidence to build armor that ahead your age"

"Absolutely, yes." her voice was shaken a little bit. "Maybe yes." system looked at her with wide-open number.

"Fine. No. I'm not actually a developer. And also scientist. I'm just a coder or learner at most."

"That's correct. You don't have strong basic knowledge so it's hard for your to solve with newest problem. So to solve this for better future, I strongly invest her in this world."

"Become a swordsman."

"In your concept. Yes. A strongest swordsman."

"By how. I'm very clumsy at close combat. It will be hard for me to become strongest swordsman." She admitted one part that she doesn't have talent in sword.

"Yes. BUT." system looked at her with number brow.

"If I work hard then it's possible."

"Correct. That is why I introduce her this plan. A cheat code."

"How can this affect real life. Isn't this is an inner world?"

"Yes, it can't affect directly but it somehow affect indirectly." System walked around while explaining.

"What do you mean?"

"Experience. Dream. Combining those two, the real life Jean will learn 1 or 2 tricks of what that Jean did."

"So where is she again."

"She is back to where she comes from. Her memory."

"Ok then, what are those picture?" Past Jean pointed at picture that was turned black.

"Ah that. Those are corrupted picture. Cause by Enmu. I'm going to dispose those and you are going to help me."

"What's wrong with them?"

"Those are memory twisted by Enmu. For example, this picture." He held a picture before her.

"Do you remember this moment?"

"Yes this is when I and mother played together. I'm very happy at that time."

"Yes and no. You and your mother played is correct but you are happy. Not correct. In fact, you feel mother deceiving you"

"What." she exclaimed in surprise.

"You hear it not wrong. He twisted your memory. I can't blame you for that."

After hearing that, Past Jean went silently.

After wait for a while, system decided to break this silence.

"Let's change topic a bit. At first, I want you befriend with your other versions." he pointed behind the Past Jean.

"Introduce to you. Depressed Jean." another her appeared with gloomy mood. Undoubtedly, this is her past.

"Whatever" her respond lacked of life.

"I tried my best. Anyway, I will dispose those memory. You try to get acquainted." he snapped his finger. A smoke exploded and he disappeared.

Looking the other her, she shyly approached.

"Hi. Other me."

"Hi. Did you see my friend?"

"Friend."

"The black one. Her name is depression."

"hahaha" forced laugh.

"I told you many time. My color is not black." a colorful teddy bear appeared.

"Whatever. Everything in my eyes is black anyway." Depressed Jean turned towards corner.

"Such a pathetic girl. Anyway. Nice to meet you. You can call me Teddy Jean. Teddy for short. I am your other version" cotton bear introduced.

"I remember I don't have 2 personalities."

"Ah no. You are wrong. We come from different memory. I will explain later. How about you. Your name."

"My name."

"Yes, a name that is unique just to identify each other. In future, there will be a lot of version of us." Teddy explained.

"Name. Let me see." she wondered for a while.

"Let go with Ghost" Ghost said.

"Wonderful. Teddy. Ghost. Depressed" cotton bear said.

"Whatever." Depressed said.

"Introduction has done. How about going to library to concrete our relationship."

"That's a good idea."

"Let's go. By the way. You carry her. I'm too small to do this job" Teddy pointed at Depressed laying on floor.

"Hehe" she laughed weakly.

"Looking at her, it reminds me in real life. I wonder whether the original me is okay."

In real life.

"Her bleeding didn't stop" Tanjiro said with nervously.

"Ah what can we do. She is going to death" Zenitsu said in scare.

"Don't die, Jean. Not in my watch" Inosuke roared.

"See. Sengoku. Human is weak. She is near death door already."

"I will kill you for touching her"

A person laying on ground is Jean Sophia. Her eyes were lacked of light. On her abdomen, there is a large open wound. Blood didn't stop flowing.

On her right chest, there are many hole on it.

"Stay with me, Jean. Stay with me." Tanjiro said with despair.

Despite their efforts, she didn't reply any word.

Her body tried its best to keep it survive.

How did happen? Let rewind to 10 minutes ago.
