Chapter 203 Jiang Lai: Is it normal to change dance partners? It’s normal…
Inviting me to dance... What on earth does this guy want to do? To be honest, Jiang Lai didn't want to dance with him, but if he wanted to get more clues, he had to follow his path.
However, based on this, he could flexibly adjust his attitude to test whether Gojo Kyufuin really wanted to invite him to dance or was just looking for an excuse to change the subject.
Jiang Lai paused for two seconds and replied calmly, "I can't dance."
"No problem." Gojo Kyufuin still posed in a saluting posture. He smiled and gently suggested, "I can teach you. It won't be too difficult. Do you want to try it?"
Those narrow, light blue eyes were slightly curved, like bright emerald green.
Very good, Jiang Lai thought. It seemed that this guy was not just looking for an excuse to change the subject, but really wanted to invite him to dance.
It's a bit strange and alarming behavior... I don't know what this guy is going to do.
The last time Gojo Hisafuin took me to the entertainment area, he secretly tricked me without making any noise.
This time I took myself to dance, and maybe I had planned something in such a short period of time.
Maybe it's another error trap, or maybe it's a different form of monitoring and confirmation.
——No matter what, we will just stop the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.
Jiang Lai was not in a heavy mood, as the situation before him was nothing to him.
You know, in the scientific world, he had been dealing with two BTs at the same time, and finally let them fight each other. He has a lot of experience in dealing with these!
Right now, he was having some headaches with Gojo Hisahiuin simply because he was not familiar enough with this company.
In the scientific world, Jiang Lai knew what each BT wanted, so he could prescribe medicine accurately. But here, he temporarily did not understand what Gojo Jiufengyuan really wanted.
Although we can gather from previous intelligence that this guy likes [Words from the Heart of Death], this alone cannot be used to infer the reason why he treats me like this at this moment.
It can't be that the bt attraction aura on me has started to work passively again. Jiang Lai joked to himself. And then let Gojo Jiufengyuan set me as a target early on, and even have unnecessary behavior?
Jiang Lai's wild imagination lasted only for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure after a brief analysis.
In front of him, Gojo Kyufuin, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood patiently, waiting for Jiang Lai's answer after thinking it over.
At some point, he took out the beautiful folding fan again and gently rubbed the back of the fan with his clean fingertips.
Jiang Lai couldn't help but glance at the folding fan. The pattern of the tail of the folding fan was a bit like jade, warm and translucent.
But real jade is not as hard as this one - you know, Gojo Hisakazuin had previously blocked the attack of a real person with just his folding fan.
In order not to attract the other party's attention, Jiang Lai did not keep his eyes on him for too long. He naturally looked around and then replied: "...You can try."
He chose to agree and then take it one step at a time.
Gojo Hisafuin's eyebrows slightly curved when he heard this. He nodded and said politely and gently: "Okay, then let's go to the dance area together - I will teach you some simple dance steps."
The dance area is not too far from here, and the rhythmic music can be heard in the center.
The cursed spirits there were of various shapes, but they all danced in perfect harmony with their partners, circling around on the dance floor.
Jiang Lai had never seen a cursed spirit's ball before. As he watched this scene from far to near, it was like a Western fantasy movie with ghosts and goblins gathered together that he had seen on the big screen.
These cursed spirits were different from the ones he had in mind and from the images in the original novels.
Those who came to the dinner were all intelligent spell spirits, each of them had unique and real thoughts and lives.
It's a pity that most cursed spirits cannot control their instinctive killing intent towards humans, otherwise they might still be able to coexist in the same world.
Jiang Lai thought.
Right now, the best way that both humans and cursed spirits can agree on is probably to divide the world into a mirror surface and an inside, with cursed spirits and humans not interfering with each other.
As for the method of creating the world... Tianyuan mentioned it before, it is said that the [Four Direction Defense Tower] can do it.
If there is a chance in the future, after removing all of Naohua's [Four-Direction Defense Towers], try to construct a new type of contract yourself.
Who knows, this step of solving the problems of cursed spirits and humans may be the final key to successfully passing the level and breaking through the wall to return to the dimension.
Jiang Lai thought. By then, the plot has reached this point, so the new series should also be over, right?
By then, he will be able to break through the dimensional wall again smoothly and freely, return to the three-dimensional world, freely travel between the world of magic or the world of science, and come to play with his friends.
His thoughts were swaying slightly, but Jiang Lai's movements were still very methodical.
He followed Gojo Hisafuin's demonstration, taking steps forward or backward, and although he was still a little unfamiliar with the movements, he quickly became familiar with them, and before long he had the basics down.
Gojo Kyufuin seemed to be really serious about teaching Jiang Lai to dance. His posture was very standard, and he was also very polite and paid attention to maintaining a certain distance, leaving a stranger distance that would not cause tension.
After one song ends, another one begins.
This time, Jiang Lai didn't need Gojo Jiufengyuan's guidance, he could dance the whole dance naturally.
Jiang Lai: Great, I quickly mastered a new skill! .jpg
He did not deliberately slow down the pace of learning the dance, but performed it according to his actual situation.
Jiang Lai wanted to see what Gojo Jiufengyuan would do after he learned to dance.
If you are invited to join the dance on the stage, where will the specific position be, how long will the dance last, and how will the interaction between the two be?
These are all details. Jiang Lai can use these details to speculate whether Gojo Jiufengyuan's purpose is to test or to contain.
After the song ended, Gojo Hisafuin smoothed the loose hair under his hood. His narrow, light blue eyes were tilted upwards, and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome, clean face.
"You're a real quick learner. Now you can follow my dance steps. Do you want to join them on the dance floor?"
The edge of Gojo Jiufengyuan's moon-white robe was inlaid with gold threads, and it sparkled under the light of the amethyst chandelier.
He made an inviting gesture gracefully, neither humble nor arrogant, but as natural as an invitation between acquaintances.
But Jiang Lai knew that the two of them were by no means acquaintances in the positive sense.
Is this guy planning to invite me to the dance floor? Is there anything special inside the dance floor, or is there anything special outside the dance floor?
Jiang Lai pondered over it and decided to follow the other party's invitation and use his excellent five senses to perceive the surrounding environment while dancing on the dance floor.
So he nodded gently as a sign of agreement and took one or two steps forward: "Then let's go."
As Jiang Lai followed Gojo Jiufengyuan, he was aware of a certain gaze.
He frowned slightly, and took advantage of the gap at the bend ahead to quickly glance at the location of that gaze.
Then, he locked onto the position of the decorative candle that he had previously cast a spell on.
The black liquid fox was lying there, looking up at him blankly, and didn't even continue nibbling on the decorative candle that was soaked with Jiang Lai's curse power.
——At present, only half of the candle is left. From the teeth marks, we can see that it was eaten very carefully, gnawing on it bit by bit so as not to lose a few delicious bites.
Jiang Lai: "..." Ah, the little fox has been watching me learn to dance just now! There is an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.
Not far away, the nightmare fox shook its pointed ears. It wanted to rush over, but then stopped and hesitated, grabbing the pillar.
Finally, the Liquid Fox seemed to have made up its mind, jumped down from the table with half a candle in its mouth, and went to find Geto Suguru who was chatting with the cursed spirit with a professional smile on the other side.
Jiang Lai noticed this scene, but he quickly looked away because they were already in the center of the dance floor.
Just as a new song was about to begin, Gojo Kyufuin made a pre-dance salute and then gracefully gestured to Jiang Lai to start.
At this moment, he still did not take off his hood, and the brim of the hat cast a faint shadow on his cheeks. His eyelashes fluttered, and there was no emotion to be seen in his light blue eyes.
"..." Jiang Lai followed closely, following the tune and keeping in step with Gojo Jiufengyuan's dance steps. He also kept his eyes closed, his face calm without a trace of emotion.
Close interaction is a good opportunity for detailed observation, but both of them have done a good job of maintaining a barrier to prevent outsiders from seeing their inner thoughts.
As time goes by, the dance reaches its emotional peak in the middle and late stages. Gojo Kyukazein's movements become larger and her gorgeous steps become orderly.
Jiang Lai noticed that Gojo Jiufengyuan did not change positions randomly. From the beginning to now, they seemed to be jumping towards the center of the field.
——There is actually nothing special about the dance floor. The only thing that marks it as the center of the floor is a slightly strange umbrella-shaped light above the head.
Is there anything special there? If the other party wants to guide me there, Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about something.
He couldn't help but slow down his pace a little and no longer followed the other person as closely as before.
Gojo Jiufengyuan noticed Jiang Lai's pace adjustment, he half turned his head and asked gently: "What's wrong, are you tired of dancing?"
In fact, cursed spirits will not feel tired like humans if they do not consume their cursed energy. But Jiang Lai still said, "A little bit." He continued, "I want to change the experience."
"Let's wait until the song is over, so that it has a beginning and an end." Gojo Hisafuin replied with a smile. He led Jiang Lai to continue walking, spinning and jumping along with the dance music, changing steps.
However, before reaching the center of the field, another figure naturally appeared from the side.
The young man with a bun and wearing a black and gold cassock naturally followed Jiang Lai's dance steps, perfectly matching his pace.
Although it is not common to see such a change of dancing partners on the dance floor of the Curse Spirits’ Dinner, it does exist. After all, this is a group dinner, and the Curse Spirits interact frequently with each other.
The timing of Geto's change of partner was just right, which happened to be the end of a beat, which made his actions very natural, just like the operation of choosing the next dance partner on the dance floor after a dance music.
Jiang Lai was stunned for half a second, then followed Xia Youjie's dance steps and danced together. The two people's dance steps deviated from the direction that Gojo Jiufengyuan had originally guided.
Logically speaking, after the exchange of dance partners, Gojo Jiufengyuan should now follow the rhythm and move on to dance with the cursed spirit next to him.
But Gojo Hisafuin did not move. Instead, he stood there, his eyebrows slightly curved, and said in a soft tone that seemed a little helpless, but also a little sharp:
"Sir, please don't disturb us and let us finish this dance, okay?"
