Chapter 196 Guess what 5t5 puts his hidden finger on...
Ever since Jiang Lai broke through the dimensional wall and entered the world of curse, Kurosawa Akira began to pay attention to two-dimensional comics and various online terms that he had not paid much attention to before, as he read comic forums and website analyses, and thus opened the door to a new world.
Kurosawa Akira had a diligent and studious heart. He dabbled in a wide range of subjects and learned a little bit about each aspect.
What it includes: miscellaneous books like "To be a good younger brother, you must learn to be cute" and "How to attract the attention of a good older brother".
Among them, the method of using emoticons and facial expressions to be cute was mentioned - at this moment, Kurosawa Akira put them to use.
With his eyelids lowered, his grey-green eyes fixed on his phone. He recalled what the book said while sending out crying emojis that he had searched online.
There was no response in the chat software dialog box for a while.
Kurosawa Akira frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and thought to himself: As expected of Brother Jiang Lai! It seems that ordinary emoticons don't work.
Jiang Lai: No, actually it was so effective that I was stunned.
When Kurosawa Akira saw that there was no response from the other side of the emoji, he paused, called up the Silver Snake emoji package that he had previously commissioned, and sent it out one after another.
[#Serious about doing scientific research#: (silver little snake with big eyes and tears.jpg)]
[#Serious about doing scientific research#: (The little silver snake is so frustrated that it collapses like a stone statue.jpg)]
[#Serious about doing scientific research#: (Silver snake with a swaying back, with wine next to it.jpg)…]
Jiang Lai on the other side looked at the cute little snake sad emoticons that filled the screen of the chat software. Although he was a little surprised by the sudden change in the other party's style, facing the child he once raised, he couldn't help but soften his heart and typed a reply.
[#Good Luck#: I didn’t expect you to have so many cute watch clearance packs…
Okay, let’s touch you from a distance. No matter what, as I said before, you will always be my most reassuring and beloved brother (laughs)]
Although only words were presented, sincerity was already contained in them. Jiang Lai replied very seriously and sent an emoticon of a puppy rubbing its head.
——That’s right, there is no conflict between Hisahito, the most caring and good brother in the world of curse arts, and the most beloved and reliable brother in the world of science!
Jiang Lai, who is well versed in the art of balancing things, is also trying to calm his emotions today.
At the same time, he thought silently in his heart: Since crossing the world, it seems that Xiao Zhao's brother complex has increased - it didn't seem to be so serious before.
Is this what they call distance creating ultimate beauty?
Jiang Lai chatted with Xiao Zhao for a few more sentences. Not long after, he heard the door open. He said goodbye on the phone and looked towards the door.
A tall, white-haired man walked into the room, holding a bag full of things in his left hand.
Jiang Lai looked over and noticed that the other person was holding colorful snacks?
"Hi, I'm back!" Gojo Satoru raised his voice. He naturally noticed where Jiang Lai was looking, so he smiled and raised the bag in his hand. "I bought these from a nearby 24-hour convenience store when I came back. There are potato chips, shrimp sticks, puffs, cola and the like."
Jiang Lai: “…”
Jiang Lai: "Why did you suddenly buy so many snacks?"
"Of course it's for tonight." Gojo Satoru walked to Jiang Lai's side, threw the snacks in his hand on the table, and then fell into the soft sofa. "We are going to continue planning tonight, right? In that case, prepare some midnight snacks."
At this point, Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly, facing the brown-haired boy Jiang Lai, and said with a smile: "Besides, don't we still have a child like you at home?"
Jiang Lai did not refute. He unceremoniously took out a pack of strawberry puffs and tore open the package: "In that case, you, an adult, should not eat it. These are for children."
"Aiya, what are you talking about? There are no adults here!" Gojo Satoru hummed a song, and with a stretch of his long arm, he reached the strawberry puff that Jiang Lai had torn open. He took one of them and put it into his mouth very naturally. "It's okay, the sweetness is average, but the taste is good."
Before Jiang Lai could say anything, Gojo Satoru suddenly added, "Youren came to talk to me tonight."
Seeing that the other party suddenly talked about business, Jiang Lai took back the complaints that he was about to blurt out. He straightened his expression, paused, and whispered: "Really? What did he say to you?"
In fact, Jiang Lai had already known about the conversation between the two from the comics, but this kind of God's perspective could not be told. In addition, reading comics and listening to the oral account of the person who experienced it personally are two completely different feelings.
So Jiang Lai calmed down and listened carefully.
"Your time-space reversal mark seems to have an additional awakening effect - in short, he remembered you." Gojo Satoru crossed his arms, "I told him that we can't recognize each other now, and he expressed understanding."
"Yuhito cares about you very much." Gojo Satoru said, "He also told me to let him know when I meet you again - he wants to know how you are doing."
"...Yeah." Jiang Lai's eyebrows slightly curved, "Youren is my good brother."
He sighed, "It's a pity that the current situation does not allow for a proper recognition. In addition to the supervisory board and the top brass, Sukuna inside Yuujin is also a big problem."
"It's really hard to have such a naughty brother, Lai." Gojo Satoru patted Jiang Lai's shoulder with emotion, and then paused for a moment and continued, "Come to think of it, did Fushiguro and the others get any cursed tools?"
"Yes." Jiang Lai nodded, "I went to the Zen temple with them to get it, and made some transactions with them - I told you about it on the island."
"That cursed tool can be used to separate everything. It should be able to separate Yuujin and Sukuna."
"Oh——" Gojo Satoru put one hand on his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression, "Not bad. It seems that in addition to secretly hiding a finger to delay the death penalty indefinitely, there is another way to solve the problem of Yuhito."
"You wouldn't really keep your hidden finger in a dessert shop, right?" Jiang Lai couldn't help but ask, recalling his experience in the Tower of Crossroads.
"Haha, no. The Tower of Crossroads is a special case, so I can only put it in the dessert shop."
Gojo Satoru raised his finger and lifted the blindfold to one side, blinking his beautiful blue eyes. "But in reality, I didn't do that. Now, I hid it somewhere. Can you guess?"
Jiang Lai: "...here?"
Gojo Satoru: “No.”
Jiang Lai: "Your other private residences?"
Gojo Satoru: "I won't put it in my private house. I have too many private houses. I hire people to clean them regularly every week. It's not convenient to store things there."
"Too many private residences", "hiring people regularly"... Jiang Lai was silent for a second after hearing this. Another unintentional display of money ability, enviable!
Jiang Lai's wild thoughts only lasted for a moment, and he quickly collected his thoughts and continued to reason and speculate.
If the finger isn't in the dessert shop in the interpretation of the Tower of Crossroads, or in any of Gojo Satoru's private residences, then where else can it be placed?
Jiang Lai thought about it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some surprise: "Could it be that you put it in the Gojo family? It's a bit dangerous there. After all, the Regulatory Commission and the Yu San family have always been in contact, not to mention that your family also has the uncertain role of Gojo Jiufengyuan."
"However, the most dangerous place is also the safest place in a sense. I can understand if you put it there."
“Not the Gojo family.” Gojo Satoru shook his head. “Although I am the head of the family now, I have some private lockers. But as you said, there are too many rotten oranges like the regulatory committee there. Who knows if they will mess with my things - so no, not here.”
If it is not outside, not inside, and not defending the three families, where else can it be?
At this point, Jiang Lai was a little confused, so he just joked, "Did you give it to Jie? That would be really hard for Jie. But it's just right, Jie's cursed spirit can also upgrade its level after swallowing the finger."
"That's a good idea." Gojo Satoru tapped the palm of his right hand with his left hand. "After you find the finger, you can try and give it to Jie."
In that case, it seems that the fingers were not placed on Geto Suguru.
Jiang Lai exhaled and smiled half helplessly. The boy looked cute and innocent. "Okay, Wu, you win. I can't guess where you put it."
"There's another very important place you didn't mention." Gojo Satoru raised his finger and pointed in a certain direction, "It's there."
——That is where the Tokyo Jujutsu High School is located.
Oh, I forgot about this place just now. Jiang Lai suddenly realized. Tokyo Jujutsu High School is indeed a place where you can hide your fingers. There is a special barrier room in Tianyuan.
But if you want to enter Tengen's enchanted room, you need Tengen's consent. I don't know how Gojo Satoru convinced him to keep the two-faced Sukuna finger a secret.
As Jiang Lai was thinking this, he heard Gojo Satoru continue speaking.
"I sealed it, put it in a small square box that concealed its aura, and then placed it on the door of your room."
"My room door?" Jiang Lai was stunned. The door didn't respond for a moment.
After a while, he gradually understood that Gojo Satoru was referring to the door of the room where he had lived in the high school.
Before, when Jiang Lai changed into the Little Lamb vest and followed Nanami Kento to the Jujutsu High School, he originally wanted to live in that room, but then he was told that the room was reserved by Gojo Satoru and the others.
After the second round restarted and Jiang Lai disappeared, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko left the door as a place for remembrance and commemoration.
After Jiang Lai arrived as promised, this door seemed to have lost its meaning of remembering the old friend. But they still kept it.
At this moment, upon hearing where Gojo Satoru's finger was, Jiang Lai smiled and said gently:
"My room door? I guess you have already set up a spell there to prevent it from being destroyed. It is indeed a good hiding place."
No one could have imagined that Gojo Satoru would put his important finger on an ordinary dormitory room door.
"Besides that," Gojo Satoru said, "there's another reason why I put my finger there."
"What is it?" Jiang Lai asked curiously.
Gojo Satoru: "When I stored my finger, I hadn't seen you yet. So I wanted to let my finger get a touch of your luck, so that I can disappear for more than ten years, and [see you tomorrow] is a long way off."
Jiang Lai: “…”
Suddenly, the hell gate started to laugh!!
By the way, he also sensed the deep emotions behind Gojo Satoru. Although he didn't show it on weekdays, he would occasionally reveal some cat resentment in a few words.
"Just kidding." Gojo Satoru suddenly curled his lips into a smile, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
He intertwined his slender fingers and said slowly, "...Actually, what I thought at the time was that if Yuujin was like you, he would eventually have a miracle."
