Chapter 171: Jay and Glass at the Crossroads Tower

Walking out of the dessert shop, the entire commercial street is in a mess, showing the aftermath of Gojo Satoru's visit here.

Even though Gojo Satoru hasn't done anything yet, as the strongest (the strongest curser), he can bring an unparalleled shocking effect to people wherever he goes.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru's trace completely disappeared, and even his magical power could not be sensed. Jiang Lai had no idea where he had gone.

The news on the electronic screen in the high-rise building was still reporting the evacuation situation, but Jiang Lai no longer paid attention to it. He quickened his pace and walked out of the area.

Jiang Lai's cell phone can still be used at this time, but the date and time on it are all from the real world outside, and the same is true for the network.

——That is to say, he couldn’t use his mobile phone to search for intelligence information in the world of Forked Path Tower.

So he turned a corner and did not follow the evacuating crowd, but instead went into an Internet cafe nearby.

While the crowd on the street was evacuated, Jiang Lai planned to use the electronic devices in this world to search for relevant information.

Just like the dessert shop, the people in this internet cafe were evacuated in a hurry. All equipment remained in operation and the door was only half closed.

Jiang Lai first searched for information on the open Internet in ordinary society and found that there were a lot of so-called "terrorist attacks" reported here.

Most were mere evacuations with no casualties, but there were a few - either explosions covering entire areas or widespread loss of consciousness for unknown reasons.

"..." Jiang Lai was silent. He didn't know whether Gojo Satoru did this or not.

Although Gojo Satoru has been raised as a son of God since he was a child because of his six eyes and has always felt a certain distance from the human world, he has never been a person who truly disregards life.

In fact, in the real world, Gojo Satoru has always played the role of a protector.

But...if the other party really crosses the line of rules that I have drawn, it is indeed possible to do so.

All things are of inferior quality, and all living beings are ants.

Killing one person, killing a group of people, and destroying ants are no different. Spellcasters are all crazy, and the strongest can certainly become the craziest and most extreme.

But if it comes to this, things will be very difficult. Jiang Lai took a deep breath. But he still felt that Gojo Satoru had reasons for what he did, and it was not just reckless behavior.

Jiang Lai quickly scanned the information on the screen, and then he used his skills to switch networks and go deep into the dark web that contained information related to the world of magic.

...Let's see how the magic world evaluates it.

The information here is much clearer and more direct than that of ordinary people's social information networks. When searching for information related to Gojo Satoru, the first one that comes up is a highest-priced bounty.

Wanted

Name: Gojo Satoru

Identity: Special Curse Master

Defection time: Winter 2017

Danger level: Extremely dangerous (highest level)

Landmark events: Hakone Church destruction; Osaka train station incident]

The last landmark event was one that Jiang Lai had just seen on ordinary people’s online news.

The first was the razing of the entire Hakone church area, and the second was the loss of consciousness of the entire train station crowd. Both were extremely shocking events.

Jiang Lai looked away and quickly captured the most important information in this text - the time of defection.

It is marked here that Gojo Satoru became the strongest curser in the winter of 2017. According to the usual timeline, it should be after the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Although it was unclear where the fork in the road started, Jiang Lai keenly noticed that this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Could it be related to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? To be more precise, could it be related to Geto Suguru?

But logically speaking, Gojo Satoru is not the kind of person who would lose his way after killing his best friend. In the original world, he killed Geto Suguru in the end - his will may be shaken, but it will not change.

In any case, gather some information first.

Jiang Lai immediately started searching for Xia Yujie. After he hit the Enter key, the first result that came out was also a bounty.

Wanted

Name: Kayuki

Identity: Special Curse Master

Defected: 2007

Danger level: Very dangerous

Landmark events: 2007 village destruction incident; Bandei Cult activities; One Hundred Demons Night Parade]

Jiang Lai was slightly startled when he saw this, and realized the meaning of the bounty still hanging here - that is, Geto Suguru is still alive!

Not only is he alive, but he is also a curser just like in the original novel.

This is not a world where the camps are reversed.

Good guys, this time Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are both cursers, what's the point of playing in the world of curses, just forget about it! If the two special-class players want to, they can join forces to destroy the world.

Jiang Lai's mouth twitched, his imagination ran wild for a moment, and then he gathered his thoughts again.

Wait. If these two had reached an agreement, Gojo Satoru shouldn't have reacted like that when he asked about Geto Suguru and Nozomi.

In other words, although both are cursers, they don't seem to be together. They are not in the same camp.

Jiang Lai frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand.

Why on earth did Gojo Satoru go to the curse master?

The next second, Jiang Lai suddenly remembered something very important.

——During the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Geto Summer Oil took the initiative to ask Gojo Satoru to kill him because he didn't want to be a puppet of the Supervisory Board anymore and didn't want to become an immortal tool after the Sunflower Totem was completed.

But in the end, Gojo Satoru did not kill him. And because of an accident, the restrictions that Geto signed with the Supervisory Commission when he was a teenager took effect, and he was controlled and sent to the high school to be slaughtered.

At that time, I dedicated the clock of my heart here, reversing time and space to make everything flow backwards.

This incident must have left a deep impression on Gojo Satoru.

As the strongest, Gojo Satoru has almost no weak emotions, but perhaps deep down in his heart, he is still afraid of that scene from that year.

The result of not doing it was that his best friend Jie was controlled and became a tool that could not die. The college students and administrators were in a bloody storm, while he himself missed the salvation of death and the salvation of life.

——If there is no time reversal, the above will become a reality.

But in this world of the Forked Road Tower, Jiang Lai does not exist.

Although Jiang Lai is missing from the story and other details will also change, since this is Gojo Satoru's forked world, some key nodes should still occur.

The "Fork in the Road" tower, which is good at weaving illusions, must be good at digging out the gray emotions in Gojo Satoru's subconscious.

Jiang Lai stared at the computer screen, squinted his eyes, and felt heavy in his heart.

Perhaps this is what happened here, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's back, leading Gojo Satoru to embark on the path of a curser.

The regulatory agency is in collusion with the top leaders of the sorcery world, and only the sorcerer can truly defeat them.

The current information is still incomplete and most of it is speculation. In short, let's take a look at the situation of Ieiri Glass.

Jiang Lai then entered the name of Jiali Nishiko in the search box. This time, it was no longer a bounty list, but a normal simple character information.

It is stated that Ieiri Shoko is the outputter of the reversal ritual and a doctor at Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

It looks just like the real world.

Jiang Lai blinked, then glanced at the picture on the side.

The woman with long brown-red hair had dark circles under her eyes and a lazy look, just like the image in my memory. However, there was a large, prominent scar on the right side of her face.

Jiang Lai was stunned for a second: Why is there a scar? Glass is an experienced reverser, she can definitely heal herself.

Unless the scar is caused by special magical power, it cannot be simply removed by reversing the technique. Therefore, it can only remain on the face.

"..." Jiang Lai was silent for a moment. He sensed that something bad had happened here at Chujia Ruxiaozi.

By the way, is there still a Yuikawa Kurigashi here? If so, wouldn't Haibara also be...

Moreover, if this was a "world without Jiang Lai", Gojo Satoru might have really taken action against Yuikawa Kurikawa, leading to some inevitable misunderstandings.

Jiang Lai pursed his lips and gradually felt the dilemma of Gojo Satoru in this fork in the tower.

In this fork in the road fantasy, he might not be living well—he is the strongest, but he is always losing.

Those subtle emotions will not crush a person all at once, but they will drown a person bit by bit in silence.

Jiang Lai let out a breath, logged off the Internet, cleared all records, and used his skills to replace the Internet cafe's surveillance video.

After carefully covering up all traces, Jiang Lai stepped out of the Internet cafe and walked back to the main road.

After all, the information learned through the Internet is still limited, and most of it is Jiang Lai's own speculation based on facts. He is not sure whether it is true.

Even in this fantasy world, Jiang Lai hopes that his friends can suffer less pain.

Now let's set off for the high school. I wonder who will be the teacher at the Jujutsu High School when Gojo Satoru and Geto are not here.

Maybe it's Nanami Kento? He seems to be the only one.

In addition, the situation of Yuji Itadori in this fork in the road tower... If Gojo Satoru is not here, the executioner will probably be Otsukotsu Kyouta. The Jujutsu world will call him back from abroad.

Jiang Lai thought about it and quickly guessed the people who might stay in the high school: Nanami Kento and Otsukoi Yuta.

It seems that these two are not easy to talk to if they don't know each other. Jiang Lai put one hand on his chin and thought. They will remain calm and vigilant towards strangers.

If I go to the technical college directly now, it seems that I won't be able to get anything out of them. It's better to get to know their situation from the side first, and then try to contact them.

So who should you talk to first?

Jiang Lai was screening the possible names in his mind, and a thought flashed through his mind in a flash -

Then again, can I still use the abilities that came from my parents and are now given to me here?

Although this is a world that has been shielded from the outside world, the other settings have not changed much.

It is impossible to re-set everything in Tower of Forked Roads, so apart from the plot, most likely everything is based on the real world.

If so, perhaps I can still connect to the realm of Ryomen Sukuna's life here in the forked road world.

Even though they didn't know each other, it didn't stop Jiang Lai from going over to have a chat and finding out about the current internal situation of the college.
