Chapter 16 From spectator to actor Hui (Like Jiang Lai)
Megumi Fushiguro had just passed by here. He was wearing a winter uniform and a pair of suitable indigo gloves on his hands.
He and his companions had just finished a mission and were planning to go back to the apartment to get some things before returning to the college dormitory.
While walking on this street, he was sensitive to the vague noise coming from nearby. Fushiguro Keito paused for a few seconds, quickened his pace and rushed to the alley where the sound came from.
The dark alley was like a monster's mouth, and the scene inside was unclear. Fushiguro Megumi caught a glimpse of a knife flashing and suddenly swung it down!
He subconsciously wanted to rush forward to help, but after a brief pause, the situation inside seemed to have changed drastically.
Fushiguro Megumi's steps froze as he watched this rapid reversal of progress in a daze with some astonishment.
By the time he reacted, the incident was over. He squinted his eyes and saw several figures lying on the ground, and another figure stepping forward.
The sun had completely set by this time, and a dark curtain rose, swallowing up the remaining light in the sky. The dim light from the street lamps barely illuminated the road, and the remaining few spots of light fell on the edge of the alley, reflecting the brick debris on the ground.
Fushiguro Megumi stood at the entrance of the alley, watching the figure step out, and tightened her grip on the backpack strap slightly. Finally, she recognized the other person.
...It's the person who doesn't know who is my enemy!!
Inevitably, his body tensed up and his back straightened. Fushiguro Megumi tried his best to remain calm and stared at the person who walked out.
The black-haired young man who walked out of the alley seemed a little surprised to see Fushiguro Megumi, but facing the tense Fushiguro Megumi, he did not make any extra movements.
The man was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and said in a normal voice, "Good evening, little neighbor."
"..." Fushiguro Kei paused and did not respond. He glanced at the scene in the alley again, "They..."
"A few unfriendly young people from society," the black-haired young man said with a distressed look, lifting his shopping bag, and shrugging his shoulders, "They tried to rob me viciously and pointed a knife at me. I was very scared, so I couldn't help but simply defend myself."
Robbery? Fear? Simple self-defense?
Fushiguro Megumi remained silent, noticing that the person in front of him had no injuries and his clothes were not damaged at all.
Was the knife blocked in advance? He still had the image of the flash of the knife in his mind.
In fact, these street thugs have very accurate ability to identify people. They are indeed useless and bully the weak and fear the strong, but because of this, they must master the ability to distinguish which people can be touched and which people cannot be touched.
The young man in front of him clearly exudes a very dangerous aura, why would the street thug choose him?
The evening breeze blew, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, mixed with other subtle messy smells in the alley. Fushiguro Megumi frowned, and had some guesses in her mind.
Perhaps those hooligans were drunk and confused, so they mistook the dangerous person in front of them as a target for robbery.
Naturally, they paid a price for their misjudgment... and it was a heavy price.
He glanced into the alley again. If it weren't for the figures lying on the ground still shaking, Fushiguro Megumi would have thought they were dead.
This situation seems to have gone beyond the scope of self-defense.
"…" Should I call the police in this situation? Fushiguro Megumi thought about it but didn't say anything.
But the black-haired young man who walked out of the alley seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, and turned around and smiled: "Are you really going to do this - Fushiguro-san?"
"!" Although he had already guessed that the person in front of him knew him, Itadori, and Kugizaki, the fact that his surname was called out so accurately in this situation still made Fushiguro Megumi's heart jump subconsciously!
"I'm quite magnanimous and have no intention of sending them to the police station for the time being." The black-haired young man looked ahead and said briskly, "But if you want to call the police, I support you."
"..." This way of speaking made Fushiguro Megumi's heart sink slowly.
Obviously, the man in front of him didn't care about this. He was confident that he could get out of this situation safely without being disturbed or disturbed in the slightest.
While he was thinking, the black-haired young man had already walked out of the alley with steady steps and no intention of stopping.
With the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure passing by, and Fushiguro Megumi reached out her hand almost instinctively -
However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier stopping him, causing his hand to suddenly stop when it was only centimeters away from the young man, and he could no longer get any closer!
Fushiguro Megumi: “???!”
Wait, how is this possible...!! He stared at the scene with his eyes wide open.
The black-haired young man who passed by him looked normal. He did not stop, nor did he even glance at him. However, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his lips, as if responding to his meaningless action.
Under the dim light of the street lamps, the man walked away step by step.
Fushiguro Megumi stood still, maintaining the same position he had just been in. He watched the man's back gradually recede, and his stagnant thinking gears started to work again after a while.
…Although it’s unbelievable, the barrier just now was not an illusion, but it really existed!!
Fushiguro Megumi stood up straight, looked down at her outstretched hands, and exhaled a breath of white air between her lips and teeth.
Although he didn't know why he didn't feel the cursed energy fluctuations, but that feeling of being out of reach... he had only witnessed it on one person.
The image of the white-haired teacher emerged in Fushiguro Megumi's mind.
——
the other side.
Jiang Lai walked away with a shopping bag in one hand and his mobile phone in the other.
He was a little surprised at the appearance of Megumi Fushiguro, but not much, after all, he knew that Megumi Fushiguro lived nearby like him.
Although it was a bit unexpected to see him under the current circumstances, his presence ultimately brought more benefits than troubles—as a spectator and the final participant.
Fortunately, Shen'er and I usually talk in a voice that only the two of us can hear clearly, so it won't cause any other misunderstandings.
The soul body of Fushiguro was floating to one side. He had been silent just now, but now he finally got rid of the complicated emotions of seeing his son.
Glancing at Jiang Lai operating his phone, Mr. Ghost asked with a hint of curiosity, "What are you doing?"
"Just take care of the surveillance nearby." Jiang Lai said, "Although I don't think your son will call the police, what if he does? It's a bit troublesome. Hurry up and move before your hands freeze."
"Although I am handling surveillance illegally," Jiang Lai emphasized, "I am definitely a good person."
Fushiguro Shiori: “.”
Sometimes he really didn't understand whether the person in front of him was joking on purpose, or whether his personality was really that down-to-earth...
——The black-haired young man always appears dangerous and mysterious, and simple and harmless, like a constantly turning mirror.
Fushiguro Shijiro withdrew his gaze.
Or maybe everything in the world is empty in his eyes, so there is no need to be reserved, so he just spends his daily time with others in a leisurely manner.
"At least the most basic work should be done." Jiang Lai tapped the keyboard a few times with one hand, and then put away his phone. He glanced sideways and smiled at Mr. Ghost beside him, "Your suspension just now was also very timely, although it was not a dangerous situation."
"But I'm a little curious, what you just paused about was——"
"Gloves." Knowing what Jiang Lai wanted to ask, Fushiguro Shigeki nodded slightly and answered.
He can only simply control inanimate objects, so naturally he cannot directly interfere with Fushiguro Megumi's actions.
However, Megumi Fushiguro was wearing a pair of indigo gloves at the time, so it was even possible to indirectly stop Megumi Fushiguro's hand movements by stopping the gloves.
This achieved a very wonderful effect.
Jiang Lai nodded to show that he understood.
He did not ask further, but just thought about it for a few seconds: He wondered whether the other party's hesitation at that time was due to the salary agreement with him, or was it a kind of protection for his son in some sense?
——Since he is not clear about his true ability, it is very reasonable for him to subconsciously prevent Megumi Fushiguro from conflicting with him.
Jiang Lai: No one may believe me, but I am still a complete novice in sorcery! I don’t even know any spells. I am a complete novice. QWQ
In the eyes of different people, he has different images of a big boss. But Jiang Lai knows that those are all the effects of acting and filters.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly and felt a little nervous.
This time, the presence of Megumi Fushiguro brought him both danger and opportunity.
The chance is that he might be able to use this to appear in comics, and mastering a technique similar to No Bottom Line would increase his credibility.
The danger is...what if he tells Gojo Satoru and Gojo Satoru really comes to see him! ?
He hasn't really learned this technique yet! It was all Dihua's acting! Thinking of this, Jiang Lai had the urge to move for a second, but he quickly gave it up.
Moving is too troublesome, so he decided not to. And considering his recent luck with cursed spirits, if he encounters another troublesome cursed spirit, it would be a loss.
Besides, if Gojo-sensei is really determined to find him, then he won't be able to hide for long...
Jiang Lai looked ahead and asked, "Will your son sue the teacher?"
Fushiguro Shiji took a second to react: "What?"
Jiang Lai: "When your son encounters a problem, does he usually ask the teacher for help or does he solve it himself?"
"..." Mr. Ghost, who was floating beside him, was silent, thinking for a moment, "You want to ask... will Six Eyes know?"
Jiang Lai: "You are really smart. By the way, you also avoided the question of whether you care about your son's life."
Fushiguro Shiori: “.”
Jiang Lai: “Just kidding.”
In tense and dangerous situations, he always used to complain silently and tell jokes to relax himself. But it must be said that this made his inner tension relax a lot.
Fushiguro raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you want Rokugan to come find you?"
"It's not that I don't want to." Jiang Lai adjusted his collar with one hand, his eyes calm, "I just feel that now is not the right time to meet."
Mr. Ghost next to him turned to the other side and said lazily, "Don't worry. Although I haven't left the house for a long time, I know that Liuyan is a busy man."
"——Now that you are neither a real threat to his students nor friendly enough to join them, he will not come to you for the time being under this neutral situation."
Isn't it? Jiang Lai thought. If the cursed spirit swallowing Wu was the first time, then this time was the second indirect intersection.
Three times is a good thing. Maybe the next time, it will be Gojo Satoru's turn to find me.
Therefore, the most important thing is to improve your own strength. Jiang Lai thought calmly. Today's scene was quite effective. Whether it was the street thugs or the protagonist Fushiguro Megumi, they all contributed to the one-sided display of the "Similar Unlimited" skill intentionally or unintentionally.
That's enough... If the comic is updated, it might have some effect. Jiang Lai's warm brown eyes gathered toughness. And he will practice and master the skills as soon as possible.
After walking quietly for a distance, Jiang Lai couldn't help but take out his phone again, quickly found the official comic website, and left a message in the comment section:
【#大预测家#: Urgent, urgent, urgent!! Please update quickly QAQ Every second I can't see the update, there will be a one-eyed cat crawling all over my body!! If there is no update, a kind-hearted citizen will be transformed into a special cursed spirit!!!】
Jiang Lai, finally couldn't help but join the group urging for more updates in the comment section!
Just when he and a group of comic readers were anxiously waiting for the new plot, the official website automatically refreshed and finally a new episode popped up.
