Chapter 124 Sukuna's Born Realm

The powerful cursed energy that just occurred at the scene made Geto Xiayu raise his hand to slightly block the dust and sand raised by the impact wave.

However, as a curse spirit operator, his perception of curse spirits is naturally more acute than that of others.

Therefore, although there was a distance between them and his vision was disturbed by the impact wave dust and sand, Xia Yujie was still able to keenly sense the huge malice lingering around the real person.

Xia Yujie's heart tightened, and the scene that happened next made him hold his breath!

The twisted cursed spirit tried its best to burst out its power, and used the woven bag with its own strange effect to grab Jiang Lai who was nearby. However, Jiang Lai only had time to throw the large fragments on the ground to the liquid fox!

The twisting force of the accumulated cursed energy vortex became thicker and thicker, constantly colliding within the cursed spirit's body, seemingly about to reach its limit and experience the final explosion.

The sixth sense sounded the danger alarm to the maximum, but Xia Yujie went against the sixth sense's evacuation instinct.

He rushed forward with a hurricane of cursed power, grabbed Jiang Lai's wrist, and at the same time let the cursed spirit wrap around them at an extremely fast speed!

When the vortex force accumulated to the end and exploded with violent vibrations, Xia Youjie held Jiang Lai tightly and tried his best to stabilize his cursed spirit under the pressure of the cursed power.

The explosion hit his eardrums, and for a moment, Kagome was deafened and could not hear anything. Being in the cursed spirit, his vision was pitch black, as if he was immersed in a swamp.

In this brief moment of incomparable silence, Kagome seemed to be floating away from the present moment. With his vision and hearing blocked, he could only sense the shackles tightly grasped in his hands.

Even though the black-haired young man is a cursed spirit at this moment, Geto Xia can still feel the warmth from the touch of his skin.

This kind of tightness and warmth seemed to have happened to me once before, a long, long time ago.

At this moment, he seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of time - in the long, long past, when he was also in a pitch-black darkness with almost no perception, it seemed as if someone grabbed him tightly and firmly pulled him away from the silence of death.

A small hole was opened in the complicated memory of a thousand years ago, and the sealed memories gushed out. Xia Yujie closed his eyes, his heart trembling.

In the Heian-kyō era, he thought that he would have the chance to thank him in person in the future. However, a hundred years was too short, and those in that era never saw the black-haired young man again.

The woodland incorporated into the back mountain of Gojo Family is already very lush, with young seedlings sprouting in the fertile earth and rotten wood rotting in the thick soil. The seasons change with the replacement of the old with the new.

However, the thousand years of reincarnation drowned out the memories of the past, and he, who started his life in the modern era, was unable to remember those regrets and gratitudes.

After falling into trouble in this era, he was once again pulled out of the swamp by a black-haired young man - the other party reversed time and gave him a chance to start over.

He was pulled out of the mud by the black-haired young man twice, and this time, he finally grabbed the other person.

The complicated memories surging in his mind were finally sorted out and calmed down. Xia Yujie first exhaled deeply before loosening his grip on the other person's hand.

He couldn't see his own expression, but he thought that maybe he showed an expression that was enough to convey his inner feelings.

Because the black-haired young man in front of him was staring at him, and after hearing what he said in a very soft voice, he also smiled gently.

"——This time, you held me back."

Jiang Lai did not express unnecessary thanks, because he knew that what the other party needed at the moment was not words of thanks.

With a strong sense of responsibility, responsibility and self-esteem, Geto Xia Yu is always used to silently accumulating pressure in his heart until the accumulated amount exceeds his ability to bear.

And this kind of bond is an outlet for pressure to be released.

Xia Yujie raised his narrow fox eyes and looked at Jiang Lai. Recalling the past thousand years, he seemed to have a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.

Perhaps meeting again now, thousands of years later, is more than the words that drifted away in those years. After all, the past is in the past, and there is no need to show the emotions of the long wait.

Looking at those warm brown eyes, Xia Yujie finally let out a breath, without saying anything more, but slowly raised a smile and said slowly: "... a thousand years, long time no see."

"..." Jiang Lai blinked, his face showing some confusion and guilt, his eyes were sincere, "Sorry, what are you talking about?"

After hearing this, Geto Xia's expression froze for a second, and the smile on his face suddenly froze!

The next moment, Jiang Lai added the second half of the sentence: "Long time no see, Jie - it was just a little prank." He smiled between his eyebrows, "I remember it all."

It took a few seconds for Geto to recover from his frozen expression: "...Please don't joke like that, especially at this moment. It's too much of a test of your mentality, Lai."

"Because Wu asked me to play a little prank on you." Jiang Lai coughed and laughed, "Let's show it near the end."

"Satoru?" Hearing his friend's name, Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of silence and annoyance. "That guy Satoru... is he bored recently? Why did he play a prank on me again?"

Jiang Lai said, "Maybe it's because I haven't heard from you in such a long time. Wu said he sent you spam from an unknown number, and you didn't read them."

"Recently, the regulatory agency has implanted a cursed force monitor in my electronic devices, which I cannot remove on my own initiative. Moreover, this monitor will be triggered even if I use other devices outside - so I asked Wu not to contact them for the time being."

Xia Yujie paused for a moment, as if he remembered something, and put one hand on his temple with a headache, "...and I won't even open the spam email that Wu sent me just by looking at the title!"

"What did he send you?" Jiang Lai asked curiously.

Xia Yujie paused for a moment, his expression changing several times, and then he twitched his mouth, coughed and said: "...Men's health advertisement."

Jiang Lai was startled at first, then he laughed a little nervously: "Oh - indeed, based on my recent understanding of human beings, people like you, Jie, who are under great pressure every day and often stay up late at night, should pay attention to this problem."

Summer Oil: "...Rai!"

"Just a joke." Jiang Lai blinked lightly.

Xia Yujie put his hands together, and his hair shook a little: "Next time we meet, I will definitely fight with Wu's guy. It just so happens that I am an undercover agent now, so it is a legitimate reason to fight him."

Jiang Lai: "You may not be able to find him recently."

"Hmm?" Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Lai: "Wu has gone abroad. He will probably be away for a while."

Xia Yujie was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Satoru must have already planned it out! The emperor is far away and the sky is high. And when he comes back, I will have forgotten about this matter."

"It's okay, I'll remember it for you." Jiang Lai patted Xia Youjie's shoulder generously, "Friends should cheat each other, and the traditional ceremony cannot be let down!"

Jiang Lai started to laugh, and the atmosphere around him became relaxed.

Next to them, the Liquid Fox jumped up and interrupted their conversation, its body twisting and changing, revealing the fragments wrapped in its tail in front of the two people.

Because Liquid Fox is a derivative of Jiang Lai, it also has some [existence] characteristics that allow it to directly touch the fragments in a short period of time - such characteristics have naturally not been revealed to the Regulatory Commission.

"Thank you for your hard work, Nightmare Fox." Jiang Lai took the fragment that was protected by the Liquid Fox with his hand, then turned and walked towards the place where the vortex of cursed power had just burst out.

The land was directly torn apart by the curse, and dust and grass were everywhere.

Where the real person had been standing, there was a small fragment that caused the explosion just now, and in addition, there was a fist-sized ball of blue-gray unidentified substance.

Jiang Lai sensed the cursed energy floating in the air, paused, and used a space technique to push the blue-gray mass on the ground through the air.

The blue-grey mass only retained the power of the curse, but it seemed to have no consciousness. It was like a special-grade cursed object, but compared to a special-grade cursed object, it still had some characteristics of a cursed spirit.

Xia Youjie walked over in two or three steps and stared at the blue-gray unidentified substance on the ground for a few seconds.

Jiang Lai tilted his head and asked with concern: "How is it? Can you still absorb it now?"

"Of course I can."

Xia Yujie's words were relatively tactful, and he didn't use any direct words. But his expression already revealed his inner thoughts.

Jiang Lai patted Xia Youjie on the shoulder and said with deep emotion: "You have worked so hard."

The young man with the ball-shaped hair took a deep breath, and finally stepped forward with the attitude of putting the result first and not caring about the process.

Xia Yujie used a magic spell to absorb the special-grade cursed spirit that was severely damaged and only left with a blue-gray group shape, then staggered to a tree not far away, supported the tree's trunk and began his daily routine.

Jiang Lai, who stayed where he was, scanned the ground with his eyes and quickly caught sight of a small piece of light green debris lying quietly on the ground. He bent down, picked it up, and wiped off the slight amount of dirt on it.

The light green fragment lay very quietly in Jiang Lai's palm, without any sharp edge. The familiar power lingered around him, causing Jiang Lai to fall into a brief complex emotion.

What broke Jiang Lai's immersion was the liquid fox. The liquid fox, swaying like a jelly, ran over with a woven bag in its mouth.

——That was the open woven bag that was blown away by the shock wave. Under the impact of the cursed energy just now, the woven bag was burned and rubbed, and the fine threads swayed in the wind.

But, it probably still works.

"Thank you, Nightmare Fox." Jiang Lai showed a gentle smile on his face. He half squatted down, took the woven bag brought by the little fox, and used it to wrap the two fragments, one large and one small.

Despite his reluctance and confusion, Jiang Lai finally rationally realized that in order to achieve complete victory, he must let Geto Takeshi take the fragments back this time.

He held the woven bag tightly and just as he was about to stand up, he felt something wet on his legs.

Jiang Lai looked down and saw the liquid fox pulling at his trouser legs. Its jelly-like claws pressed against the exposed skin at Jiang Lai's ankles, bringing a slight chill.

The pair of red mosquito-repellent eyes raised and stared at Jiang Lai, and said half-heartedly, "Great. I'm great."

Jiang Lai was stunned at first, then he laughed: "Well, Nightmare Fox is super awesome, and he helped a lot this time." He was not stingy with his praise.

The liquid fox stared at Jiang Lai with its eyes, and looked at him again. It did not loosen its grip on Jiang Lai's legs.

The air was quiet for a moment.

As if seeing that Jiang Lai didn't move, the Liquid Fox slapped the ground with its tail, and its expression revealed a little bit of impatience and grievance: "So. Reward. Food. Hungry."

After hearing the last two words, Jiang Lai suddenly realized why the liquid fox came forward to take credit and held on to him tightly - it turned out that it wanted to eat him.

I don’t know if it’s because Liquid Fox is a foodie or because he’s been hungry for too long.

Jiang Lai's brows softened, he picked up the Nightmare Fox and put it in his arms again: "I don't have anything else with me, you can continue to eat a few bites of my sleeves and collar."

In the current state of the cursed spirit, things like clothes can be adjusted at any time, so Jiang Lai simply used them as food for the nightmare fox and let the other party eat them at any time. Anyway, he can replenish it at any time.

The liquid fox in Jiang Lai's arms was not polite at all. It grabbed Jiang Lai's sleeve and started to slurp the liquid.

Jiang Lai let the other person eat and held her in his arms as he walked towards Xia Yujie.

The young man with a bun hair, who had been fucked for a while, finally seemed to have come to his senses.

"This stuff tastes just as bad as always." Xia Yujie complained, "When someone can invent a delicious way to eat cursed spirits, I will definitely thank him."

"It's quite difficult to make a rag that has been used to wipe vomit taste good." Jiang Lai thought for a moment and suggested in a friendly way, "How about buying some mints or milk candies to keep with you? Maybe it will help relieve the pain."

"I'll think about it." Xia Yujie took a deep breath and completely adjusted his desire to vomit. He moved his wrist and tried the ability he had just absorbed. "I don't think I will need the transformation of the real person. But this time, destroying the opponent is also a big gain."

Transformation without action... In the original novel, the real person once used this trick to transform many people. However, in addition to killing people, this can also transform a non-magician brain into a magician brain.

"Perhaps you can temporarily hide this from the regulatory board, so that they don't ask you to do anything extra." Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and said, "Take both fragments back and tell the regulatory board that the real person tried to absorb the power of the small fragment and was attacked. You finally exorcised it, but failed to absorb it because of the interference of the fragment's power."

Xia Yujie thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. I'll try to keep it secret."

"Of course, your safety is the most important thing," Jiang Lai said. "If the regulators have a crisis of trust in you because of this, it's better to let them know."

"Will the regulatory agency be so probing of me?" Xia Yujie smiled, then snorted, "Bringing back the fragments this time is enough to prove my sincerity - besides, they used a few of my special-grade cursed spirits before, and they still owe me money and haven't compensated me yet."

"The regulator doesn't particularly care about cooperating spirits, so this matter is over," said Xia Yujie. "With my current position, even in ordinary situations, I won't be blamed much if I attack real people."

"By the way - why are there two fragments?" Xia Yujie changed the subject and his eyes fell on the woven bag that Jiang Lai handed out. He asked the question he had not had time to ask just now.

So Jiang Lai told the other party about his previous perception and his experience of looking for small fragments after they entered the tent, during which he also mentioned the expansion phase.

"That guy from the flatulence family," Xia Yujie thought for a moment and said with a strange look, "This cursed spirit seems to be particularly concerned about Yuji Itadori - he said that Yuji Itadori is his younger brother. What kind of brother is this out of thin air?"

Then, his attention returned to Jiang Lai: "Are you going to cooperate with him?"

"I think it's okay. I've been with him briefly this time, but it's not appropriate to have an overly enthusiastic conversation right now." Jiang Lai nodded, "Next time we meet, I'll tentatively bring up this topic further."

"Okay." Xia Yujie nodded.

After the mission is over, Xia Yujie will return to the return point agreed upon by the Supervisory Commission, and Jiang Lai will return to Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture to put on his original vest to prepare for the final exam and start high school.

The two must be distinguished at this point.

Xia Yujie held a small woven bag in his hand and paused for a moment before leaving. He said, "--Such fragments are very important to you, right?"

Jiang Lai was slightly surprised by the other party's sudden words, but still answered: "Well, yes. But you still have to take it back this time. For the final victory, the process requires this."

"I understand." Xia Yujie also responded rationally. He hesitated and said, "The regulator collects such fragments, apparently for the energy contained in them, to support something... Those so-called 'feeds' seem to be used to replenish or repair fragments. Sorry, I don't know the details."

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, his thoughts racing.

The meaning of the word "feed" that he had previously understood was a kind of power that could be directly applied. Now, when he heard the words "supplement" and "repair" mentioned by Geto Suguru, he had a new idea.

Perhaps "feed" is not a direct application, but an indirect application. Speaking of which, he had thought about how to deal with the accumulation of sins when the regulatory authorities use the power of [rebirth].

Now I seem to have some inspiration - perhaps it is because the sin is transferred or supplemented and eliminated that the divine nature is not degraded or damaged, and the ability is not unusable.

Of course, these are just my guesses.

Jiang Lai withdrew his thoughts and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"I'll keep an eye out for more clues." Before leaving, Geto looked back and added, "By then, if I can use the device to deliver information again, I'll let you and Satoru know."

The two said goodbye.

Before leaving, the liquid fox seemed a little reluctant, but eventually jumped out of Jiang Lai's arms and returned to Geto Suguru.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai picked up a small piece of wood, dipped it in his own magical power, and fed it to the liquid fox, letting it eat slowly on the way, but it must finish eating before returning.

The liquid fox was overjoyed. It lay on Xia Yujie's shoulder and licked and nibbled the small wooden stick.

...It's a bit like a dog chew stick. Jiang Lai watched Geto leave with the liquid fox, and thought unconsciously in his mind. The wooden stick is too fragile for the cursed spirit. I'll try an iron rod next time.

——

Chiba Prefecture is not far from Kanagawa Prefecture. Jiang Lai drove the magic car and returned to Kawasaki City under the cover of night.

Just in case, Jiang Lai called Hongshu before climbing in through the window.

After making sure it was safe, he followed the same path he had taken when he left and entered through the window.

During this short period of time, Hongshu has been going to school in his little sheepskin. Although he is busy with his studies at the end of the semester, Hongshu still seems to be enjoying it.

Jiang Lai was a little unsure whether his observation was correct, so he asked: "...If you really like it, you can continue until the final exam. Do you really like going to school and doing papers?"

"I really enjoy the atmosphere of this school." Hongshu smiled and waved his hand, "But no need, now that you are back, I will not stay any longer to watch. It's just right, I will go back and take care of the surroundings."

"If you need me next time, just call me anytime." Hongshu said gently, "I will be your clone."

"Thank you very much, Hongshu." Jiang Lai replied seriously, "You are not a clone, you are you."

He switched back to the appearance of a brown-haired boy, and Hiroki also changed back to Kyubey. However, before Hiroki returned to the scientific world, Jiang Lai asked him to look at the finger of Ryomen Sukuna in his backpack.

——Last time, time was too tight, and he hadn't had time to check it carefully. After all, this thing had come into contact with a real person, so in case there were any traces of the regulatory committee left, Jiang Lai went through it again with the technique.

After confirming it was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and used the electronic elf spell to put it back into Hongshu Kyubey's backpack.

After a few days, Jiang Lai lay on the soft big bed again.

Human vests need to sleep, and the energy consumed by planning and thinking over the past few days has made me feel a little sleepy.

Therefore, Jiang Lai put his mobile phone on the bedside, planning to wait until the next day to see if there was any update, and now he would have a comfortable sleep.

The room was dim, the moonlight was gentle, Jiang Lai's breathing gradually became steady, and he fell into a good sleep.

…

The sound of dripping water rang in my ears.

Jiang Lai opened his eyes and saw a sea of ​​blood with floating bones all around him and a mountain of cattle bones in the distance.

One glance is enough to tell that this is Ryomen Sukuna's birthplace.

Why did I enter Sukuna's realm? !

Jiang Lai was stunned for a second, he looked down at his reflection in the water, there was a young man with black hair and brown eyes - not the little sheep vest, but the same appearance as in the modern chapter.

His thoughts paused for a moment, and Jiang Lai quickly recalled the details of today.

...Could it be that because I touched the fragments and then touched Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, some strange interactive effect occurred?

Jiang Lai's thoughts were interrupted by the cursed power coming from afar. He instinctively dodged quickly and then put up a space magic barrier!

As he moved, blood surged up from the ground and the floating cow bones were knocked to the other side.

Jiang Lai raised his head and looked at the man in the distance.

Ryoumen Sukuna, dressed in a white kimono, sat cross-legged on the top of Niugu Mountain, his scarlet eyes slightly narrowed, looking down at Jiang Lai on the ground, and sighed:

"It seems to be true... So why are you here?"
