Chapter 138 Silver Snake Xiao Zhao
The banter lasted only a moment, and the two quickly returned to serious matters.
In the end, Fushiguro Shigeki briefly explained the layout of the Zenin family to Jiang Lai, so that Jiang Lai had a general idea of the situation.
Although Jiang Lai still remembered what happened when he came to the Chanyuan family, he knew that he definitely didn't know as much as Shen'er, so he listened carefully.
After briefly describing the general layout of the Zenin family, Fushiguro Shigeu returned to the wooden sign again.
Even though Fushiguro Shigeki has awakened, this ghost that should not exist is still rejected by the will of the world, so Jiang Lai did not force him to stay, for fear that he would consume too much power and fall into a deep sleep for too long.
After this conversation, Jiang Lai switched back into his sheep costume and lay on the bed, no longer feeling sleepy.
He was thinking about what to do tomorrow.
If I can find a way to trick Naoya into going to the main room of the family, I should go. Although I didn't explore the route in advance tonight, maybe I'll be lucky tomorrow and be able to find the location of the cursed tool quickly.
As for how to judge the position of the head of the Zenin family, Naohito, and his wife... probably it will take both indirect and direct contact. Of course, this can also be done without rushing.
However, it seems not enough if I observe alone. It would be better if I could have a companion with me - unfortunately, it is not convenient to directly tell Fu Huzhi and others about these details.
Jiang Lai sighed silently, lowered his eyelids, and his thoughts paused slightly.
He remembered what Fushiguro Shigeki had just said, as well as what his scientific friend had once told him - he was never alone, and he had friends to share the ups and downs with him.
...Maybe I can call upon my scientific friends to be my second pair of observing eyes?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai paused and took out his cell phone.
In terms of concealment, the silver-scaled snake that can change its size might be the most suitable... I just don't know what time it is in the scientific world on the other side. I'll send a private message to Xiao Zhao tomorrow morning before summoning him.
I hope Xiao Zhao is free.
After planning tomorrow's plan in his mind, Jiang Lai reviewed the structure of the Zenin family that Fushiguro Shigeki had mentioned. As he thought about it, the sleepiness that had disappeared gradually came over him.
...Go to sleep first. Get some rest and prepare for tomorrow.
He yawned, put down his phone, and let himself fall into sleep.
——
The second day.
After breakfast, everyone gathered at the agreed meeting point.
Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki Norose looked at each other and saw the faint dark circles under each other's eyes.
They spent the two nights thinking about what would happen the next day. After all, they had to find a way to get something from the master's room, which was equivalent to doing something under the nose of the master of the Zen temple family, so they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
However, Yuji Itadori still looks very energetic, as if he is not bothered by the predicament at all.
Under the gaze of Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki Norose, the sakura-pink-haired boy scratched his head. He guessed what his classmates wanted to ask, and he smiled and blinked:
"I've gotten used to it because Sukuna always keeps nagging at me. Normally, I fall asleep quickly and soundly at night."
Fushiguro Megumi & Kugizaki No Rose: "..."
It seems so. Due to being disturbed by Sukuna every day, Yuji has already mastered god-level sleeping skills!
The last to arrive was the little sheep Jiang Lai. He rubbed his cheeks and seemed to be in the same sleeping state as Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki No Rose, looking like he had not slept well.
Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment and sighed inwardly:
It seems that Watanabe-kun is also secretly nervous. Although I pretended to be a boy yesterday to reassure them, I still can't avoid insomnia.
I must succeed in getting the item and live up to the expectations and cooperation of my friends and Watanabe-kun. The urchin-headed boy was determined and he slightly clenched his fist.
Jiang Lai didn't know what Fushiguro Hui was thinking, otherwise he would probably complain silently:
No, I couldn't sleep not because I was nervous, but because I chatted with your dad late at night and planned more and deeper things.
Zenin Naoya's words alone were not enough to make him nervous.
After all, compared to the red and black characters in science and the Jujutsu World Regulatory Commission, who are full of cunning people, Zenoin Naoya can be said to be a simple-level monster.
What's more, the Caiyun pigs in the new series have less experience and obvious weaknesses, which makes them easier to deal with than the original.
At this moment, he walked up to the Fu Hu Zhi group, waved his hand and greeted them.
As he waved his hand, his sleeves naturally dropped due to gravity, revealing a small silver snake wrapped around his wrist.
"Hey, this..." Yuji Itadori was stunned for a moment. He had some impression of those special elf Shikigami of the little sheep Jiang Lai.
"Oh, this is one of my shikigami, the silver snake. I'll let it out for some fresh air." The little sheep Jiang Lai smiled. As he spoke, the silver snake that was lazily wrapped around the boy's wrist raised its head and stuck out its red tongue.
Ventilation? Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami had no such concept, but he didn't ask much.
Probably because their abilities are different.
Fushiguro Megumi thought so and quickly put this point out of his mind. He pointed out the main point of today and nodded to the little sheep Jiang Lai, saying: "Then, I'll leave everything to you later."
No details were given in the conversation, but everyone knew what it meant.
"Yes, no problem." Little Sheep Jiang Lai gestured with his hands, his eyes full of youthful smiles, "To be precise, it's everyone's cooperation."
After everyone chatted for a few words, Zenin Naoya, wearing a different kimono from yesterday, walked in with an arrogant and casual step, and came late.
The pattern on the blond young man's kimono today was not as exaggerated as yesterday's. His clothes were more casual, but still showed the noble style of a feudal family. The obsidian earrings made him look even more rebellious.
He glanced at a few people with a hint of joking in his eyes:
"Why, you look like you didn't sleep well. It's your first time sleeping on the exquisite bed of the Zenin family. Are you so excited that you can't control yourself?"
Everyone: “…” It’s really hard to respond to this self-praising and sarcastic way of speaking.
After spending a day in contact with Zenin Naoya, Fuhuzhiren realized that it was better not to respond to Naoya's words when there was nothing to do, unless one had the ability to argue with a pig like the little sheep Jiang Lai.
"After all, you haven't gotten used to it even though you've been sleeping for more than 20 years. How can we get used to it after just one day?" The little sheep Jiang Lai smiled and gestured under his eyes with one hand, indicating that Naoya also had dark circles under his eyes, "Right, the delicate Princess and the Pea?"
This kind of teasing made Zenin Naoya's sarcastic smile freeze instantly, and he stared at him with his sharp fox eyes!
The moment Naoya released his aura, the silver snake wrapped around the little sheep Jiang Lai's wrist also suddenly straightened up half of its body, and its gray-green eyes stared at Naoya coldly.
Although the silver snake is small in stature, its hostile aura is extremely powerful.
Zenin Naoya naturally noticed the little snake. He frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Lai raised his other hand and gently patted the straightened Silver Snake Xiao Zhao, signaling him to calm down, while answering: "I have more than just the Shikigami in the game, I also have some special spirit Shikigami, and this is one of them."
"Special spirit shikigami..." Zenin Naoya trailed off and then stopped, "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in this kind of shikigami."
Zenin Naoya only loves game characters. However, Jiang Lai summoned Xiao Zhao for a purpose other than to attract Naoya.
Little Sheep Jiang Lai smiled and replied, "Well, I was thinking about developing another business, but it seems today's business is still the same as yesterday's, and the people we take photos with are still the characters in the game."
Thinking he had seen through another money-making operation of Xiao Mianyang Jianglai, Zenin Naoya raised the corner of his lips, sneered, and then said, "Okay, there's no need to talk so much nonsense, just follow me later."
Just like yesterday, the mission owner, Naoya Zenin, included elf interactions and photo taking routes.
Fu Huzhi and the others looked at each other, but the little sheep Jiang Lai in front of them still maintained his usual smile and did not rush to say anything.
He called the team together, set up the special cursed camera, and followed Zenin Naoya around the Zenin household, taking pictures at the places where the servants were sent away.
After walking around for a few times, Jiang Lai considered the timing in his mind. When he noticed that Zenin Naoya was no longer walking forward like he did at the beginning, but was standing there thinking, he spoke casually:
"We have taken a lot of outdoor photos. Do you want to develop indoor business?"
Zenin Naoya was very sensitive: "You want to collect double the money again?"
"Hey, am I that kind of person?" Little Sheep Jiang Lai pretended to be aggrieved, and under Naoya's unmoved gaze, he spread his hands and began to shiver, "Okay, I am."
Zenin Naoya: I knew it!!
Little Sheep Jiang Lai stood still and continued, "But my suggestion is true. It is written in the requirements of this game that different evaluations can be participated in indoors and outdoors. Don't you want to get more game rewards? The items you get cannot be purchased."
Zenin Naoya was stunned at first, and then his expression showed some thought.
Little Sheep Jiang Lai smiled slyly and blinked his eyes: "For the sake of our teammates, I can give you a 10% discount."
"At most you can just pay the price of one ticket, choose a place with the best view, and take the photo - even if you don't attend the event, you can keep it as a souvenir. It's done in one go."
I don't know what touched Zenin Naoya. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, let's do it all at once this time. I don't have to see your money-obsessed face again in the future."
Zenin Naoya looked around and seemed to be selecting a suitable indoor space. At this time, the place where they stood was not far from the main room of the house.
The little sheep Jiang Lai was in a casual posture. He looked around and then seemed to have accidentally chosen a target. He pointed to the location of the main building and said casually:
"I think this building is well decorated and close to us. How about this place?"
Zenin Naoya was naturally able to recognize the main room at a glance. He originally planned to refuse, but the word "preserve memory" mentioned by Xiao Mianyang Jianglai just now suddenly popped up in his mind.
If you only take one indoor photo, the one that can best show your identity on the platform and be kept as a souvenir in the future is naturally the master bedroom.
Zenin Naoya doesn't care about his identity being exposed. After all, his life circle is locked in the Zenin family and he has no contact with the outside world. It doesn't matter whether his identity in the game is exposed or not.
He even thought that by using the name of the Yu family, the platform might be able to provide him with more benefits.
Anyway, he will definitely be the head of the family in the future, so it would not be a bad idea to take a photo in advance when he is young.
As the eldest son of the Zenin family, and having grown up in a smooth and comfortable manner, Zenin Naoya does not have any respect for the position of the head room of the family, and he naturally assumes that he will be the next person to live there.
While Naoya was thinking, he heard Nagizaki No Rose say hesitantly, "We shouldn't go to that building... It feels different from the surrounding buildings. It looks like a more important location. We can't go there."
Fushiguro Megumi said calmly: "Indeed, to avoid trouble, it is better to stay away."
Yuji Itadori scratched his cheek and asked in confusion, "Hey? What happened there? Is there a place that Mr. Naoya can't go to... Then why don't we go to another place?"
Fuhuzhi and his companions lowered their voices and whispered to each other, but as a sorcerer, Zenin Naoya could naturally hear them clearly.
The blond young man snorted, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised his eyebrows: "Go, why not? I have very high requirements, and taking photos is one of them."
"But your intuition is very accurate. That is indeed the place where your legs will go weak—" Zenin Naoya took a step forward with a relaxed pace. He glanced at everyone with a bit of nonchalant sarcasm, "Follow me, little devils."
Everyone looked stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, they followed.
After Zenin Naoya turned around and faced away from everyone, Fuhuzhiren and Xiaomianyang Jianglai looked at each other, and there was no trace of the expression just now in their eyes.
Everyone: Perfect coordination.jpg
The silver snake wrapped around the little sheep Jiang Lai's wrist moved up along the sleeve, emerged from the collar, rubbed against Jiang Lai's ear, and hissed, revealing a slight dissatisfaction with Naoya.
Jiang Lai frowned, poked the little snake beside his ear with his finger, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm used to his venomous character... But to be honest, Internet addicts are so easy to fool." He curled his lips and smiled.
His eyes fell on the master room in front of him, and Jiang Lai's relaxed mood sank again.
I wonder if Zenin Naobi is in there... and whether that lady has predicted anything in advance.
Stepping into the master's room is like stepping into another unknown battlefield.
But no matter what, we have to move forward - fortunately, this time we have another pair of eyes to help observe.
Jiang Lai frowned and raised his hand gently, and the little silver snake slid along his fingers to his wrist perfectly.
Beneath his sleeves, his pair of grey-green eyes looked out at the world with great calmness.
