Chapter 148: Shen Er, Jiang Lai, and the Star Plasma Body

The next few floors were filled with posts about doing good deeds by striking the electronic wooden fish. Jiang Lai flipped through them and stopped at the part about the plot analysis of Gojo Kyuumaein.

[Ah! What kind of hobby is last words listening (dumbfounded)

In fact, if you just listen to it, you might think that Jiufengyuan Beauty is a very good end-of-life caregiver, but I always feel that the shadow effects in the comics hint at something darker... It's scary to think about it carefully.

[So the current position of Gojo Kyukazein is against the brain flower? It feels like he showed signs of betrayal before meeting Zenin Naohito.

Do you remember the story about Jiufengyuan and Little Sheep? Jiufengyuan helped Little Sheep and gave him a warning before leaving. Nanami also said that Jiufengyuan sometimes provided information to the people at the high school. 】

[My guess is similar to yours. However, Jiufengyuan probably didn't know that Xiao Mianyang was a member of Raishen. He helped at that time and provided some conveniences for Tokyo High School... probably because of Gojo Satoru. ]

[Gojo Satoru's stance is definitely the opposite of Brainflower, so in reality, Jiufengyuan is standing against Brainflower? ]

[In the comics, the reason he gave for turning against us was boring, but I always felt that this reason was reasonable yet also a bit perfunctory...]

【Add one to the above post! Come to think of it, I think maybe his bt target has been upgraded.

Before, I liked to listen to last words, anyone's last words would do. Thousands of years later, maybe it evolved into a desire to listen to the last words of a certain character - such as Naohua? Gojo Satoru? Or Raishin? 】

[Damn, that makes sense, but I don’t think he can handle these masters.]

[That’s why they take advantage of chaos, “chaos brings death”, and want to reap the benefits.]

[Hmm... I have another different guess. Could it be related to [birth]?

The sequel to the Millennium chapter depicts the first meeting between him and [Nativity]. Who knows if they have more stories. If he is familiar with [Nativity], who knows if he has heard some information about Raijin from [Nativity].

[Eh! That seems to make sense...

But if this is the case, the true position judgment has entered a situation where it is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends.

Jiang Lai's eyes fell on the discussions on the last few floors. He narrowed his eyes and thought silently in his heart.

The latter two viewpoints both seem to have some possibility.

No matter what Gojo Kyukazein's hidden thoughts are, we must remain vigilant against him - under the premise of having a common enemy, we can try to cooperate, but it is limited to fighting the enemy together, and we cannot turn our backs on each other.

Jiang Lai made such a judgment in his heart.

——

night.

The nights at Tokyo Jujutsu High School are usually very quiet. It is a remote place with few people and a relatively fixed schedule, so turning off the lights means it is time to rest.

Jiang Lai pulled the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He listened carefully to the movements around him and switched back to his original state after making sure it was safe.

The spell code built a solid soundproof wall inside the room.

Jiang Lai took off the locust wood pendant from his waist and placed it in the palm of his hand. He used just the right amount of spell power to call upon the soul sleeping inside.

After waiting patiently for a moment, a translucent soul gradually emerged in front of him.

The floating ghost yawned, raised his eyelids lazily, and scanned the surroundings: "It seems that you have left the Zen temple. Did you solve the problem there? By the way, where have you been now?"

"It's been solved successfully. We have reached a partial cooperation with the Zenin family." Jiang Lai replied, "This is the dormitory of Tokyo Jujutsu High School."

"Tokyo Jujutsu High School... I never thought you could get here. You have good stealth skills." Fushiguro Jyouji had a slightly regretful expression on his face. "If I had known you earlier, I would have thought you would be a good partner for some bounty missions - who are you going to assassinate?"

Jiang Lai: "...Actually, I came in openly. And I didn't mean to assassinate anyone. I lived in the student dormitory because I switched to another form."

Fushiguro Shigeu didn't ask much. He didn't seem to care about multiple identities. What he said just now was just a habitual teasing. In fact, his attention was more focused on the transaction with the Zenin family.

"Are you making deals with those old guys from the Zenin family?" Mr. Ghost showed a half-smile, mixed with some confusion, "The big garbage dump over there is inhabited by those cannibals."

"I'm not a little white rabbit that can be slaughtered at will." Jiang Lai nodded, "I reached a deal with the lady of the Zen temple in private, and it was not an overly in-depth deal, just a temporary united front."

"A temporary united front..." Fushiguro Shigeu thought for a moment and chuckled, "Has the Zenin family finally seen through the truth of the so-called shelter?"

Madame Chan also mentioned the word "sanctuary", and it seems that this is not a simple adjective.

Jiang Lai blinked slowly and asked, "Does everyone in the Zen Temple know the word sanctuary?"

"Almost." Fushiguro Shige'er spread his hands. "After all, there always needs to be a reason to isolate oneself. The subversive improvement and increase of cursed spirits outside, the frequent disappearances, and various anomalies will not affect the Zenin family. As long as you don't leave here, you will be safe."

"But in a sense, this means that the Chanyuan family is being targeted." Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly and continued.

"Indeed. There is no protection without reason. Behind it are only transactions and bigger traps." Fushiguro Shier crossed his arms and curled his lips. "However, some guys who are greedy for self-protection and only care about the immediate interests are easily deceived by these superficial things."

"There are wise people in the Zen temple," Jiang Lai thought of the sober Zen temple lady, but paused for a second and said, "But there are only a few sober wise people, and their inner framework is already rotten - so it will collapse sooner or later."

"I won't worry about unnecessary things. I only promised to protect the innocent lives inside to a certain extent when necessary." Jiang Lai's eyes were clear, "As for the original rotten frame, collapse is its predetermined fate, and I never interfere with such a fate."

Fushiguro Shier stared at Jiang Lai for a few seconds with his eyes half-lifted, and the corners of his scarred lips slightly raised and smiled: "Oh, not bad - then what kind of fate will you interfere with?"

Mr. Ghost heard the qualifier in the black-haired young man's words. The other party was not not interfering with fate, but was doing so selectively.

"Of course, normal people like those beautiful things that are worth having in the future. That's what I'm working towards." Jiang Lai paused and said, "I'm a normal person."

"Ordinary people?" Fushiguro Shigeki raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed not to particularly agree with the word. However, what he could see and feel, as well as Jiang Lai's expression and words, all showed that what the other party said was not false, but the truth.

So he finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, Mr. Ordinary Man." When he smiled, the scar at the corner of his mouth moved. "The longer I know you, the more I find your deep look when we first met very strange."

Jiang Lai, who had put on a hell filter just in case, said: "...After all, when you are unfamiliar with the situation, it is better to protect yourself and gain benefits by looking a little more dangerous, right?"

"Of course." Fushiguro floated to Jiang Lai's side and nodded casually, "Disguising yourself and changing your goals and attitudes at the right time is a necessary means of survival - in fact, if you only have a one-sided attitude, I wouldn't tell you so much."

He half leaned forward, his expression getting closer. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "I say, you asked me to come out, maybe you actually want to ask another question?"

"Yes." Jiang Lai did not deny it. He got to the point. "We agreed before that after we deal with the Zenyuan family, you will tell me the secrets you know."

Jiang Lai raised his brown eyes and looked at the translucent ghost calmly: "Please tell me more about that organization."

"If you still want me to help convey it to Wu, I will do it." Jiang Lai frowned.

"Are you familiar with each other now?" Fushiguro asked casually.

Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds, swallowed the answer "always very familiar", and simply nodded: "Yeah."

"It's amazing! It seems I have missed a lot of interesting experiences." Fushiguro Shigeki raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and did not continue to ask for more details.

In fact, no matter what the relationship between Jiang Lai and Liuyan was, he was already prepared to tell Jiang Lai that information.

On the one hand, after Fushiguro Shigeki and Jiang Lai became relatively familiar with each other, they had basically determined that the other could be trusted.

On the other hand, because he was aware of the world's growing rejection of him, he didn't know how long he could stay awake.

——Fushiguro Shiori hoped to die and leave normally, rather than turning into an imprisoned, unconscious wandering soul.

Mr. Ghost shifted his gaze to Jiang Lai in front of him. The black-haired young man had a calm expression and looked back at him calmly with his brown eyes.

After the air was quiet for a few seconds, Fushiguro Shigeki seemed to have finally organized his words. He still had that lazy tone, but his aura was much calmer.

"Hmm... Let me think about how to start describing those things - let's start with the astral plasma. You've heard of the astral plasma, right? I wonder if you know about the astral plasma incident more than ten years ago."

Jiang Lai blinked and nodded: "I know part of it, but there is not much information left at present. The final result is that the star plasma body is missing and its whereabouts are unknown."

He still remembers when he first arrived and racked his brains to search for information.

"I was the one who took the mission at that time. I was quite successful at first, but then I was killed by that Rokugan kid." Fushiguro Shiori talked about death as naturally as he talked about the weather. "Oh, of course, the point I want to make is not here."

"——I accepted missions from both the Panxing Cult and the Iris Organization at the same time. The astral imp and her maid are still alive. They are both with the Iris Organization. They need the astral plasma as a container."
