Chapter 129 Memories and Communication from Thousands of Years Ago

The little sheep Jiang Lai did not choose that room in the end. After all, it was a "storage room" registered with the administrator and belonged to the three people of Wu Xiaxiao.

My current identity as a little lamb doesn't give me any reason to force myself to move in, and the spoiled and willful nature of a young boy is not suitable here.

So he nodded obediently: "Okay, let's change to another one."

Jiang Lai did not show any further concern about the room; he hid his emotions very well.

Just as he was leaving, he cast his eyes upon the door from afar for a moment.

The doors of the college dormitories were manufactured and installed in a uniform manner, and there was essentially no difference, but Jiang Lai noticed that there was a small round cake sticker next to the door handle of his room.

——As time went by, the stickers turned yellow and white, with the edges slightly curled.

But it seemed as if someone had deliberately smoothed it out and stuck it there firmly and stubbornly with transparent tape to prevent the draft from carrying it away.

Jiang Lai was slightly startled when he glanced at this.

After searching, he recalled a scene from the past from his memory - about the cake sticker.

Gojo Satoru, who was an extreme sweets lover during his high school days, bought a delicate little cake that came with a page of childish stickers.

After Gojo Satoru finished eating the cake, he picked up the page of stickers, smiled and took out those childish cake stickers, and pasted them on the door handles of his friends' rooms.

Gojo Satoru said that he was helping his friend decorate the door, but Geto laughed at him, saying that it was more like marking the door for an assassination at night.

At that time, Jiang Lai smiled, thinking that Gojo Satoru would definitely not come to assassinate him, but he might come over and play a prank.

No one cared about these little details at the time, but as the past passed away like smoke, all the insignificant little things like pebbles were polished by the long river of time to shine.

Jiang Lai finally stared at the small cake sticker from a distance, then looked away and followed Nanami Kento's steps.

Nanami Kento, who had a silent concern, didn't say it, but he always remembered the words of the little sheep Jiang Lai in his heart. He finally took Jiang Lai to find another room with a structure and scenery similar to the "storage room" and let the little sheep Jiang Lai move in.

Coincidentally, this room is right next to Yuji Itadori and his friends, and their dormitories are close to each other, making it convenient for them to visit each other.

"You will stay here for the time being. Put down your belongings later and I will take you to the classroom."

Nanami Kento lowered his eyes, his gaze was calm yet mixed with the gentleness of an adult, "You can come to me if you have any questions, but I may not be in school all the time. The rest of the time, you can look for classmates, teachers, or administrators around you."

"Don't worry, I'm already a big kid!" Jiang Lai, with the shell of a first-year junior high school student, patted his chest confidently and said, "Except for the homework left by school, nothing can bother me--"

Nanami Kento: "You have to do your homework well."

He pushed his glasses up and pointed out the truth ruthlessly, "In fact, in addition to your school assignments, you will also have various tests and exercises at Jujutsu High School. Please complete them carefully."

As if he could see the mountain of homework that would pile up in his future, the little sheep Jiang Lai shrugged his shoulders like an eggplant hit by frost and said with a pout, "...I'll be fine, for sure."

"However," Nanami Kento added, "besides the basic rules, you are free here. Please do whatever you want. After all, it is vacation time."

"Oh—good!"

From then on, the little sheep Jiang Lai settled down in Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

During the day, he would go to the classroom to study with Yuji Itadori and others, and listen to the theory teacher in charge talk about various liberal arts and science knowledge that should be learned in high school, as well as content related to spells.

Most of the liberal arts and science knowledge in high school is the same as that in other high schools, except for history classes.

The history that one learns at Tokyo Jujutsu High School is the history of the world of Jujutsu.

Little sheep Jiang Lai flipped through the history book in his hand, his eyes fixed on the history of the Heian-kyō period a thousand years ago.

The textbooks do not describe in detail what happened in a certain era from beginning to end - it is probably impossible to describe it.

Each era is a microcosm, and the few famous events excerpted in the textbooks represent those long years.

The famous Heian-kyō period, when sorcery flourished, is covered in just a few pages in history textbooks.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai looked back and forth at this part. Most of the content was very general and summarized statements, and there were also various policies of the noble sorcerers at that time that he did not understand.

It mentions the three families of Sukuna, the king of curses, and the miracle of the meteor shower that brought prosperity to the capital of Heian a thousand years ago.

The traces left by himself when he wandered the human world and burned the godhood thousands of years ago are engraved in a few lines of words in the history books.

History is both affectionate and cruel. While it eternally records the progress of mankind, it also condenses countless magnificent lives into a few short words.

The history books do not specify who caused the meteor shower miracle in Heian-kyō. They only say that there was a figure with long black hair and a misty face.

Jiang Lai was not surprised by this, as he knew that a thousand years ago, except for those who knew him well, everyone else only heard a few words.

The noose of the Heian-kyo period had never actually seen itself, and had no impression of even its shape, so in modern times, it took a long time to find itself.

Of course, there is another reason why I can't find myself, which is that the regulator believes that the collapse of the stars has exhausted my power, so I have become a kind of derivative product - [clock].

After restarting the second round, he no longer appears beside Gojo Satoru at every key node like he did in the first round.

So the regulator probably won't lock itself down as quickly as it did in the first round for now.

However, dodging and moving around is not a permanent solution, Jiang Lai thought. When he is almost ready and the time is right, he will take the initiative to attack and explore further.

When learning about Heian-kyo, Fushiguro Megumi looked a little dazed, and Norosemi Kugizaki beside her also held the book in her hand and was slow to turn the pages.

Yuji Itadori has no specific memories of what happened thousands of years ago, but his inexplicable sixth sense made his mood slightly depressed. The pen in his hand stopped turning and fell on the page, leaving a mark.

Immediately afterwards, a few people who were distracted were frightened by the teacher's slamming of the table and suddenly looked up!

There were only four of them in the classroom, and their distraction was so obvious that their history teacher noticed it immediately.

The teacher at the podium coughed and frowned, saying, "Everyone, although you may think that learning the history of the magic world is useless, please continue to listen carefully and respect my teaching."

"Ah, no, it's not that I think it's useless." Yuji Itadori shook his head subconsciously in response, but he felt that this abrupt remark disturbed the teacher, so he did not continue to explain, and hurriedly added the last sentence, "It's just... I felt a little sad when reading this history, and I was a little distracted."

"Sad?" The teacher who taught the history of the world of spells smiled with a kind face. "It seems that you are very involved and empathetic. But why are you sad? The history of the Heian-kyō period was our heyday."

"I'm not quite sure why," Yuji Itadori scratched the back of his head and said instinctively, "It seems that I felt a little sad when I saw the story of the falling stars in the book - my grandfather once told me that the falling of stars is a tearful mourning in people's hearts. I think so many stars have fallen, they must be sad for someone."

The history teacher's words were spoken in a simple and sincere manner, and a smile appeared in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "Yuji-san's perspective is very different from others."

He regarded the student's words as the youthful fantasy of this young boy, so he quickly skipped the topic, tapped the blackboard and said, "Okay, the idle chat ends here, let's continue with the class."

When the class ended and it was time to leave, Fushiguro Megumi did not get up immediately. He sat in his seat with his hands crossed and thought for a moment, then turned his head to Yuji Itadori and Norose Kugizaki and said:

"Wait a moment."

The little sheep Jiang Lai, who was packing his schoolbag, also stopped subconsciously and looked over with his dark eyes.

Fushiguro Megumi looked at the brown-haired boy with a hint of hesitation, then paused and spoke:

"Watanabe, please stay for a while - but you can leave if you want, because what is going to happen next... may be a little dangerous, and your age is not suitable."

Hearing the word "danger", the little sheep Jiang Lai became alert.

Of course he couldn't just leave like this, after all, he had promised Gojo Satoru, who was going abroad, that he would help look after the students when he was free.

Now they seem to be doing something secretly, so I have to keep an eye on them just in case.

So, he stuffed his schoolbag into the hole in the table, sat down again, and said with starry eyes:

"I'm ready - don't hide this from me, I want to participate too~ Don't worry, I've always been lucky and I'm good at spells, nothing will happen, I can definitely protect myself."

He made good use of his current appearance to his advantage, and while being a little coquettish, he also showed more of a trustworthy boyish demeanor.

Fushiguro paused, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's go together. In fact, I may still need your help."

It was rare for Yuji Itadori and Norose Kugizaki to see Megumi Fushiguro make such a statement, so they looked over seriously, ready to listen to what their classmate would say next.

However, Fushiguro Megumi did not rush to speak. He first summoned the Jade Dog to briefly explore the surroundings, and only spoke after making sure that there were only a few of them here.

"Actually... regarding finding the real enemy, we need to jointly explore. However, before that, I have one more thing I want to say."

Fushiguro Megumi crossed his hands and spoke slowly. He glanced at Yuji Itadori and the little sheep Jiang Lai with his blue-green eyes, "--I have a clearer memory of a thousand years ago."

After hearing what Fushiguro Megumi said, Itadori Yuji didn't react for a while. He widened his eyes: "...Huh? Eh!? What do you mean a thousand years ago??"

Little sheep Jiang Lai already knew about this, but he still showed a look of surprise on his face.

"That is, reincarnation and all that. Now I remember what happened thousands of years ago." Next to her, Kugizaki No Rose was sitting on the table with her elbow propped up on one arm, "I have it too."

"Is this true?!" Yuji Itadori leaned back tactically, paused for a moment, and then blurted out, "This, this - this is too cool!"

His eyes were shining with genuine excitement and curiosity. Yuji Itadori did not feel afraid or repulsed by this. Instead, he approached his friends with great interest, waiting for their next words.

Fushiguro Megumi continued, "This is the point I want to make. Just a few days ago, my memory became clearer. I remembered that when I was the head of the Zenin family a thousand years ago, I received a cursed tool called [Separation and Reunion]."

"[Separation and Reunion]?"

"The function of this cursed tool is to [separate] or [combine] everything, but it seems that I only have half of it." Fushiguro Megumi said, "In any case, this item is very important... I think it may allow you and Sukuna to be separated in the future."

Yuji Itadori was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated: "But, if that's the case, won't Sukuna come out and kill people again? It's better to keep him locked in my body."

"It's good to find a way to separate. We can talk about other things later. There will always be a way! Why do you have to tie you two together and make you die together in the future?"

Kugizaki Norose raised her eyebrows and said, then turned to Fushiguro Megumi, "Then where is this item now?"

"Zenin family," said Fushiguro Megumi. "When I was the head of the family, I sealed this half of the cursed tool in the private room of the head of the Zenin family. In fact, no one can open the compartment unless they use the unsealing talisman I set up or the token inherited by the current head of the family."

"In other words, to get this, we have to find a way to get to Zenyuan's house, or there is someone there?"

Kugizaki Norose placed one hand on her chin and began to think, "Why not take a mission there... But their house seems to be very closed, there is no way to get in, and I don't know anyone there."

After hearing this, Little Sheep Jiang Lai finally understood what Fushiguro Megumi meant when he said "I may have to trouble you too".

He blinked and said, "Oh - I know him. Isn't that my net friend Zenin Naoya, the son of the head of the Zenin family?"

Raise a pig for a thousand days and slaughter it in one hour (bushi)!

It's time to use the sheep trick (?)
