Chapter 135 Reunion

Jiang Lai, the little sheep who had accurately stepped on Zenin Naoya's sore spots, finally stopped teasing after the official filming began, and began to summon the elves, direct the movements, and take perfect photos seriously.

After a day or two of temporary assault, the Fuhuzhi trio had mastered a good level of photography, so that Zenin Naoya did not mock them again.

In fact, after Xiao Mian Yang Jiang Lai summoned many spirit shikigami, Zenin Naoya's temper became visibly calmer.

The game-addicted young man was completely absorbed by the elves and had no time to mock or pick on other people.

Because of this, Fu Huzhi and his friends had the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment by taking photos.

They took photos and interacted mainly at the training ground, but the activities were not limited to the training ground.

Under the guidance of the little sheep Jiang Lai's perfect words and the control of the elves, Zenin Naoya also took a step forward and led them to walk around other places in the Zenin family.

When it got dark, Zenin Naoya ended the interaction with a sense of unfulfilled desire, and reluctantly released the elf shikigami and left.

However, the eldest son of the Zenin family managed his expression well, and his addiction to games only lasted for a moment. Then, he stood up straight, looked down at everyone with his narrow eyes, and nodded:

"That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Someone will take you to your room for the night."

Little Mianyang Jiang Lai, Fu Huzhi and the other two nodded without causing any trouble.

Following the guidance of the servant, they arrived at the guest room area, where they each had their own room, which was adjacent to each other.

But they did not rush back to their respective rooms to rest, but first gathered in Yuji Itadori's room in the middle.

Fushiguro Megumi summoned the jade dog, which flew around and sniffed around. After making sure there were no cursed tools for eavesdropping, they began to talk.

"I've been walking around for half a day and serving that young master. I'm really exhausted," Nagizaki No Rose held her chin with one hand and raised her other hand with a fist. "You have so many bad habits just for taking a photo. Really, why don't you make your requirements clear all at once!"

Yuji Itadori smiled and said seriously, "However, after walking for a while, I feel like I have a good understanding of the guarding rules of the Zenin family."

"Then let's take action tonight?" Nagizaki Norose rubbed her hands, "Sneak into the master's private room and take away the things that belong to Fushiguro!"

Megumi Fushiguro, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this time: "No." He rejected his colleague's proposal in a cold tone.

"If you don't steal now, when will you?" Nagizaki No Rose raised her eyebrows, "You don't intend to have a serious talk with that arrogant young master, do you?"

"No, it's not." Fushiguro Megumi shook her head and said, "It's not that easy to steal things from the Zenin family."

"We discussed this before we came here," Yuji Itadori said, "Didn't you say that the location of the master's private room is not where the master lives, but a side room used for storage? Because the items inside have independent seals and are difficult to crack, they do not require human guards and are relatively easier to sneak into."

"That was what I did back then." Fushiguro Megumi exhaled, "But today, when I was touring the Zenin family and passed by the main hall where the head of the family lived, I noticed that the Zenin family now has no side rooms."

"…What do you mean?"

"That side room was connected to the main room and merged." Fushiguro Megumi crossed her hands, her expression slightly twisted. "I'm not sure what the structure inside is like now. Maybe the storage cabinet that looks like a bookshelf is in the main room."

Everyone fell silent in an instant.

Itadori Yuji was the first to break the silence. He rubbed his cheek with his index finger and said, "Uh, so... we are going to sneak into the room of the head of the Zenin family?"

"That's impossible! That's the head of the family—" Kugizaki Norose showed a suspicious look on her face, "Besides, even if the head of the family is not in the room, there will be no less guards around."

The two looked at Megumi Fushiguro, the only person who could comment on this.

Fushiguro Megumi sighed and replied calmly, "Normally, the head of a family would live in the main family, not to mention the Zenin family, which is known for its seclusion. I haven't heard of the head of the Zenin family going out recently."

"So, the head of the family is here now?" Nagizaki Noroko shrugged. "What should we do?"

Little Sheep Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said to Fushiguro Megumi, "I remember you said before that the unsealing spell is very fast and can be completed in just a few seconds? In other words, as long as you determine the target, you can get it immediately."

"That's right. If we can find the target, the operation is very fast." Fushiguro Megumi nodded, "The problem is how do we get in?"

"Since sneaking in doesn't work, let's try to get in openly." Little sheep Jiang Lai touched his chin with one hand and said something very bold.

"Why??!"

"Hasn't Naoya invited us to come together tomorrow? Let's think of a way to entice him to put the photo background in the main room."

Xiao Mianyang Jiang Lai said, "Naoya is determined to get the position of the head of the family, and as the eldest son, he must know when the head of the family is in and when he is not. He can probably find a time when the head of the family is not there to go in and take pictures."

"Will that Zenin Naoya guy... do that?" Kugizaki Norose had a tangled expression, "Bringing outsiders to the master's room is somewhat against the rules and impolite."

"To be honest, I don't know if it's possible." Little Sheep Jiang Lai waved his hands, "However, based on my understanding of Naoya, he is not a person who abides by the rules and respects his elders. Instead, he is an egoist who cares more about whether he is good or not. So, if he wants to take a photo there, maybe we will have a chance."

Everyone looked at each other, but couldn't think of any other solution. It seemed that they could only seize this last chance and give it a try.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Fushiguro Megumi nodded slightly, "If there's a better way, we'll talk about it later."

They came out of Yuji Itadori's room and returned to their own rooms.

The sky was getting darker and the moon was rising above the trees, but Jiang Lai did not rush to sleep after returning to his room.

He planned to go out and investigate at night - although he had just said that to Fu Huzhi and the others, Jiang Lai knew in his heart that if he wanted to seize the opportunity, he must be adequately prepared.

He planned to sneak into the master's room that night and take a look, preferably to confirm the location of the spell tool slot in advance.

When you actually enter the room the next day, you can use the excuse that you were lucky and saw it the first time you looked up to point out the location of the spell tool's item slot, thus saving time searching.

With this in mind, Jiang Lai first silently checked his room and the surroundings. After confirming that it was safe, he turned on his cell phone and switched back to his original form.

Compared to a human boy, it is naturally easier to detect the body of some kind of fallen cursed spirit.

The state of the entity is freer, and space techniques are more helpful at this moment.

Jiang Lai adjusted the cursed power composition of his clothes, changing from his original black windbreaker and white shirt to a crow feather-colored yukata with a wide dark red belt around the waist.

The yukata is looser and more comfortable, and the adjusted color helps blend into the darkness.

After all, this is the Zenin family with cursed energy, and even the cursed spirit form can be seen by most people, so it is best to restrain the cursed energy while dressing more concealedly.

Jiang Lai pushed open the window, and before he was about to jump out of the room, he seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped.

Jiang Lai stood up straight, his eyes falling on the locust wood pendant tied around his waist. The rectangular wooden pendant, which had been silent for a long time, began to tremble slightly, as if something was about to wake up.

He paused for two seconds, then reached out and took off the locust wood pendant.

The air is slightly chilly at night in late winter and early spring. At midnight, the thin white mist in the courtyard seems to diffuse into the room through the open window.

In the light mist, a translucent figure appeared before my eyes.

——It was the spirit of Fushiguro Shiori who had been sleeping in the pagoda wood tablet.

Jiang Lai was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "...What should I say, long time no see?"

When Fushiguro Shiori fell into a deep sleep, it was the moment when Jiang Lai, Xia Yujie and Liquid Fox first met in the alley.

At that time, Jiang Lai had just traveled to the world of curse magic, and he could be said to have no friends in the world of curse magic. The soul body of Fushiguro Shiji was his first partner who could be called a friend - even though they did not completely trust each other.

Shen'er's deep sleep made Jiang Lai a lonely man again.

It wasn't until Gojo Satoru came to find him, time went back to the past, and he drew the Mobius strip that he truly integrated into this world.

Now Jiang Lai has many friends in the world of magic who are worthy of his trust, but he still has the original friendship feelings towards Shen Er.

Jiang Lai was surprised to see Shen'er waking up, but he did not reveal his emotions too much and still had a faint smile on his face.

The translucent soul man had a scar at the corner of his mouth. He raised his eyes slightly while floating in the air. His gaze first fell on the black-haired young man in front of him, then moved around, and finally returned to Jiang Lai.

There was no special change in Fushiguro Shiji's expression. He just curled his lips slightly and replied slowly in a low and hoarse voice: "It can be seen that it has been a long time since we last met... What's wrong with you now?"

Jiang Lai blinked slowly: "What?"

Fushiguro Shier frowned and then relaxed his brows, dragging out the ending tone, and nodded to make it clear: "You have no shadow."

He raised his eyelids and stared at Jiang Lai, the scar at the corner of his lip twitching as he spoke: "You are not a human being now - but you haven't become like me."

In response, Jiang Lai nodded and admitted frankly: "Indeed, I am a cursed spirit now."

"I warned you not to die." Fushiguro Shigeki clicked his tongue and crossed his arms.

He moved forward a distance, his expression lazy yet sharp, "After all, he is my partner... So how did he end up like this? Who tricked him?"
