Chapter 186 Good Brother Tiger Stick
Because of the phone call from Otsukotsu Yuta informing them of matters related to Itadori Yuji, Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru plan to return directly to Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
Jiang Lai changed back to the young appearance of the little sheep Jiang Lai.
On the one hand, it was to avoid unnecessary people noticing that his true self was traveling with Gojo Satoru, and on the other hand, he used the identity of Little Sheep when he went abroad, and he had to use this identity when he returned to Japan.
In addition to this, there is another reason, not too big or too small - it is to make it convenient for Gojo Satoru to teleport with him.
The weight of junior high school students is generally lighter than that of adults.
However, Gojo Satoru put his hand on his chin and said, "Ah, actually, for me, it feels almost the same as carrying a human. It's easy~"
"What's the maximum arm strength you can have?" Jiang Lai asked casually.
"Well, I haven't tested the limit yet." Gojo Satoru thought for a moment, looking relaxed, "But with the help of cursed power, I should be able to reach the limit~"
Jiang Lai: “…”
Good guy, the tonnage calculation is amazing. No wonder in the original book he could easily lift up Amanouchi Riko and Itadori Yuji with one hand!
With such arm strength, it really doesn't make much difference for him whether he leads adults or minors.
The unnamed island they are on now is located in the tropics, quite a distance from Tokyo, Japan.
Gojo Satoru's teleportation ability is the compression of two spatial locations. It requires advance planning and ensuring that there are no obstacles on the route. Otherwise, it will smash and kill everything on the route like a high-speed train.
Therefore, in this unfamiliar territory, Gojo Satoru only used his skills in empty areas. He took the little sheep Jiang Lai with him and left the nameless island in a few breaths, teleporting across the deserted sea to the land.
After landing, Gojo Satoru used his money ability to charter an express cruise ship and set out on the return journey with Jiang Lai, who looked like a brown-haired boy.
"Would you like something to eat, NIO kid?" Gojo Satoru said jokingly while sitting on the boat. "There is a dedicated chef on this boat who can cook any dish you want, but if you want to drink milk powder, there probably isn't any."
Jiang Lai knew that Gojo Satoru was exaggerating and joking on purpose, and originally wanted to say "I'll take whatever is the most expensive", but then he changed his mind and realized that the other party was a super rich man who didn't care about small amounts of money at all, so he simply picked up his phone and pretended not to hear him.
"What's wrong, Weilai?" Gojo Satoru was in high spirits, probably because he hadn't teased his classmates for a long time. He asked with a smile, "Is it because you haven't finished your homework that you can't eat? You're really pitiful."
"Who is your teacher? It doesn't matter if you can't finish your homework. Give me your teacher's phone number and I will help you report yourself."
The little sheep Jiang Lai paused for a second, raised his head, and blinked his dark eyes: "It's not homework."
He said with a voice that rose and fell, "I don't speak because I'm afraid of the most powerful curser—"
The smile on Gojo Satoru's face disappeared for a moment, and he trembled like a white cat that was prodded.
He was silent for a moment, then said in a deliberately deep tone, "You know, if you keep using memes like this, I'll get used to it."
Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the brown-haired boy looked even more cunning:
"Isn't that great? One less weakness."
Gojo Satoru hummed and leaned back on the soft leather chair. Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly sat up straight with a smile on his lips:
"Oh, I suddenly had a good idea."
"What?"
"The dark history meme won't disappear, it will just shift." Gojo Satoru crossed his arms, "So I decided to leave this surprise to Jay."
——Early after the two of them boarded the ship, Jiang Lai had erected a space barrier around their cabin, which was enough to block all eavesdropping and surveillance. Therefore, they could chat without worry.
"...Jie?" Jiang Lai tilted his head and didn't react for a while.
"I decided to trick Jay." Gojo Satoru lifted his eye mask with one hand, his clear blue eyes looked deep under the dark light and shadow, "I said, I've had enough of those rotten oranges, I can't tolerate them any longer, and I don't want to continue to take on missions."
"Now that the students have grown up and can protect themselves, I will defect from the world of spellcasting and become the most powerful and reckless spellcaster."
"In this way, I can also get together with Lai who got the script of the Amnesia Curse Spirit. Who knows, I can go one step further and sneak into the Supervisory Committee, find the culprit directly, and have a refreshing final duel."
"So I want to tell Jay that the title of 'the most evil sorcerer of the time' that the high-ranking sorcerers gave him will no longer be preserved."
Jiang Lai: “…”
Jiang Lai: "You are kidding, right?"
Why is it such a long list? It sounds serious!
"Of course~~" Gojo Satoru's eyes changed color, and his expression changed accordingly. He smiled, "I just wanted to scare Jay with this. When I think of his expression, it's very interesting. I can use it to make an emoticon or something and send it to Glass."
"It just so happens that after this immersive experience in a virtual world, my acting skills can reach their peak. I guarantee that Jay won't be able to detect any false impressions."
"What do you think? Isn't it more interesting to play the most powerful curser like this?"
Jiang Lai: Xia Yujie sent out an emoticon pack (Are you okay? JPG) on the spot.
"Well," Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think it might be more effective if you use this to scare the higher-ups."
——The Rotten Oranges will find that their greatest fortune is that Gojo Satoru is on the side of the Jujutsu world.
After some simple banter, Gojo Satoru put on his black eye mask again and began to close his eyes and rest, preparing to deal with various troubles after returning to Tokyo.
Jiang Lai turned on his phone, ready to check out the latest updated comic storyline of Tower of Crossroads to see if there was more content from a God's perspective.
Most of the comic's plot is similar to what he experienced, with the God's perspective adding an additional part about why Gojo Satoru went to Kyoto.
——In the Tower of Crossroads, Gojo Satoru has never given up exploring over the years.
Finally, he noticed that there were unusual fluctuations in the magic power of the Yusan family at certain times, and guessed that the Yusan family had a "secret formation" of the Supervisory Committee, so he decided to destroy Kyoto.
Jiang Lai paused slightly when he saw this, and thought in his heart.
This part of the plot information may not only apply to the world of the Tower of Crossroads.
That virtual world was constructed based on Gojo Satoru's memories. Since the Gojo in it locked onto Kyoto, it means that he subconsciously suspected something about the Yusan family.
Or to put it another way, the Tower of Crossroads was originally planned by the brains to help Gojo Satoru who came to explore, but Gojo Satoru unexpectedly used it in reverse with his intuition to discover and sort out the doubts about the layout of the three families deep in his memory.
Gojo Satoru did not mention any of this after waking up. Perhaps in order to let his brain wake up and adapt to reality more quickly, he placed the memories of the virtual world somewhere else and dealt with things outside first.
When they arrive in Japan and talk about the topic again, Gojo Satoru will probably remember this point in the Tower of Crossroads.
Later, the comic cuts back to Tokyo Polytechnic High School and focuses on Yuji Itadori and others.
At that time, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro and No Rose Kugizaki took on a mission to exorcise a cursed spirit. When they arrived at the scene, while they were practicing, suddenly a finger of Ryomen Sukuna emerged from the altar of a nearby rural shrine.
Jiang Lai: Offering everything will only harm you.jpg
This village put their fingers on the altar of the shrine, no wonder it attracted cursed spirits.
The cursed spirit swallowed the finger on the spot, and its cursed power increased suddenly, turning the originally easy situation into a nightmare one.
Because the distance was very close, Yuji Itadori on the front line had no time to withdraw from the attack range.
Just at this moment, a streak of blood suddenly pierced the sky and knocked the cursed spirit away. At the critical moment, he stepped forward and protected Tiger Stick!
As a special-grade cursed spirit, Zhan Xiang is quite powerful. He later cooperated with the Fu Hu Zhi team to exorcise the cursed spirit and take away the finger.
This section adds details about the story that Yuta Yuuta said on the phone. After reading this part, Jiang Lai finally understood why Yuta Yuuta Yuuta believed Yuta Yuuta's theory about his brother.
This rescue was so timely and so real!
He lowered his eyes and looked at the fighting pages in the comics, thinking: It seems that the inflation has almost recovered. The negative impact of leaving the regulatory commission has been completely eliminated.
In the next episode, the scene is also divided into two parts. One part describes the dismantling of the "Forked Road" tower, and the other part describes Yuji Itadori, the carrier of the "Pros and Cons" tower.
The comic ends with the fall of the Prime Minister and Yuji Itadori.
The ponytailed flaming woman is in a room covered with talismans because she is nominally a special cursed spirit controlled by Otsutsukoshi Yuta.
Through a wall, he chatted with Yuji Itadori who was squatting outside.
"That black-haired young man with brown eyes, is he also your brother?"
When he heard the question about inflation, Yuji Itadori was stunned for a second. After a brief moment of confusion, he understood what the other party was referring to.
In the inner frame behind him, Jiang Lai's figure emerged - a character whose true identity he didn't know, and who was the enemy and who was not. It seemed that he was a former friend of Gojo Sensei.
The man's breath was that of a cursed spirit, but he was not murderous like an ordinary cursed spirit.
The few encounters they had made in the past gave him an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
However, why did Xiang know the other party and suddenly ask the question whether the other party was his brother?
Yuji Itadori originally wanted to deny this, but when he opened his mouth, it seemed that there was a strange force that made his tongue stop moving, and he was unable to speak.
What he finally uttered was just a string of ellipsis.
The cherry-pink-haired boy sat on the ground, his hands loosely resting on his knees, his head lowered.
There is a blank space before the next dialogue box appears.
"I...I don't remember."
This concludes the comic update.
Seeing this, Jiang Lai was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised by Yuji Itadori's final reply, but his heart slowly relaxed again.
...He is a good brother.
They had met once before, thousands of years ago.
At that time, Yuji Itadori was in a state of controlled half of the good-faced [death] godhood, with only a vague self-awareness, but he still rubbed Jiang Lai's palm affectionately before leaving.
It was also at that time that Jiang Lai left a time and space reversal mark unique to Yuji Itadori.
This time when he returned to Tokyo, he wanted to use the mark left behind a thousand years ago to reverse the tower of positive and negative engraved on Yuji's body.
I wonder if Yuji Itadori will recall what happened a thousand years ago. Jiang Lai lowered his eyelids and his thoughts wandered.
Maybe the other person will remember, remember that in the beautiful world, there was a pair of warm hands that once caressed him, leaving the love and blessings of his family.
