Chapter 209 I am an adult, you are a teenager

"Did those people... finally die peacefully?"

The moment Jiang Lai finished speaking, the song "The Immortal Witch and the Pumpkin Seedling" was about to end, and the church bells ringing in the background sounded like some kind of low funeral knell.

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and slowly answered, "I really haven't paid attention to this question. There are too many people in the family, and a thousand years ago was the time when the cursed power was the strongest and monsters were rampant. People were killed and injured every day."

This background made it easier for Gojo Kyufuin to retaliate silently. Jiang Lai knew that in times of chaos, people could manipulate things behind the scenes, and even life and death could be fine-tuned.

Gojo Satoru pondered and recalled: "I can't remember the others, but I remember the Great Elder."

"A thousand years ago, the elders did not stay in the family. Because evil spirits were rampant at that time, most people needed to go out on missions. The elders would also take on some missions of calming down and exorcising."

"The Great Elder died during a purification mission, and was killed by a cursed spirit.

"Killed by a cursed spirit?" Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows. "Logically speaking, elders like this are very smart and cunning, and the exorcism tasks they choose must be within their capabilities and have an absolute advantage. How could they be killed by a cursed spirit?"

"Who knows? Maybe they underestimated the enemy." Gojo Satoru shrugged. "It is said that in addition to the target cursed spirit, other cursed spirits unexpectedly appeared at the scene. The Great Elder didn't have time to react and was killed in one blow."

Were the cursed spirits so smart at that time that they could hide and cooperate? I'm afraid not.

Jiang Lai thought slowly. Who knows, maybe someone is secretly instructing them, or maybe someone has set a trap in secret long ago, which is why all these accidents happened.

"Offensive cursed spirits are generally more brutal and violent, so the support team sent in only managed to bring back part of the Great Elder's remains."

"Where are the remains?" Jiang Lai asked.

"The person in charge of the funeral was Gojo Hisafuin, so the remains were handed over to him. They were probably placed in the family cemetery afterwards."

"——Of course, now that I think about it, it's possible that the Great Elder has not been buried at all. Who knows what is in the box that Jiufengyuan carried into the cemetery?"

Gojo Satoru's ending was very clever, and it coincided with Jiang Lai's inner guess.

"I think so too," Jiang Lai continued, "other people would never dig up the grave to confirm it. Besides, in that era, there was nothing to confirm about the ashes."

Looking at it this way, it is estimated that the people who bullied him in the past all ended up badly. Jiang Lai thought. Even the Great Elder was secretly harmed, let alone others.

It's just that he did it very covertly. So covertly that those people were sold and helped count the money.

According to what he knew and the information revealed by Gojo Satoru, Gojo Kyufuin was very popular in the Gojo family because he was good-looking and had a gentle personality.

But this gentleness is just an appearance, the real monster is hiding under the gorgeous appearance.

If he was simply seeking revenge against his former bullies, Jiang Lai could still understand Gojo Kyukazein and would not regard him as a dangerous bt.

But during this long millennium, Gojo Kyukaedein has probably produced more than one

——Because even in modern times, he still has the habit of "caring" for the deceased and listening to their last words. In addition, his technique called "Transformation".

"Well," Gojo Satoru said calmly, steering the car casually, "Once you get used to something, it's hard to give it up. This is another reason why I try to resist the urge to smash the rotten orange."

Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly, reacted for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant.

——Overly smooth slaughter will become a habit after accumulation. So Gojo Satoru tried his best to restrain the desire to solve everything with violence.

But Gojo Hisafuin may not have restrained or adjusted himself, but kept such a mood openly, and his white and slender fingers turned into the soft sickle of death.

Can a character who is used to taking advantage of people's hearts have true heart?

In his eyes, the friendship that was born out of his bond with [Birth] is an important treasure and something that can be used as a springboard.

The atmosphere in the car became a little tense. Jiang Lai, who looked like a young boy, half lowered his head, his thoughts slowly sinking.

The tense atmosphere was broken by a crisp sound. Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers and said loudly:

"Okay, we're here for vacation, relax~~ We can slowly explore the matter of that guy later."

Jiang Lai was awakened by the sound. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-moon eye: "Wait, we are not here for vacation. This time we are here to explore the follow-up of the astral plasma incident and the clues of Kuroi Misato."

"Work and vacation are not in conflict." Gojo Satoru seemed to be in a good mood. He half turned his head, raised the corners of his lips, and touched Jiang Lai's eyebrows. "Don't frown at your young age - the strongest is still here, there is nothing to worry about."

Jiang Lai subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead. He did not realize that he frowned while thinking just now until Gojo Satoru pointed it out.

He coughed and then asked, "How do you plan for Hokkaido?"

"Anyway, we'll drive to the port first, take a ship to Hokkaido, and then ship the car over there. After arriving in Hokkaido, we'll drive to Wakkanai, the northernmost city."

"Waknai City?" Jiang Lai asked, "How did you decide on this city?"

He thought Gojo Satoru was driving to make it easier for the two of them to search around Hokkaido. Unexpectedly, Gojo Satoru directly selected a destination.

"This city is relatively remote, with few people and a cold climate. Most importantly, there have been strange reports of an 'ice curse' there in the past decade. This is more consistent with what you said about Kuroi Misato's frozen slumber."

Gojo Satoru said, "Jie and I exchanged intelligence information, and we both felt that there was a greater chance that this city had secrets."

"Jay?"

"Yes," Gojo Satoru chuckled, "Since Jie got rid of the suspicion of being monitored, we have maintained free communication again."

"I have sent him a lot of small advertisements recently. He told me to wait. I said I would wait. I am not afraid of him. Besides, Jay is such a busy worker. He has no time to bear grudges. I know he will forget it eventually."

Jiang Lai was silent for a second, blinked and said, "It's okay, I'll remind him."

"Hey, Ray! Whose side are you on?"

"In the middle, of course."

"Hey - we were the first to know each other! You and I, Jay and I, we were both the first to know each other."

"That line sounds familiar. Are we going to start doing something weird with the script now?"

The two of them started laughing again, and the heavy atmosphere just now disappeared.

At this time, the vehicles entered the suburbs, and only Gojo Satoru was driving at full speed on the wide road.

Gojo Satoru drives fast, but very steadily.

Even so, Jiang Lai couldn't help but say as he looked at the speed that was rising all the way, "Don't be so anxious, let's slow down a bit."

"Hey, don't you think this is cool?" Gojo Satoru rolled down the car window, the whistling wind blowing across his cheeks lifting his white hair. He smiled brilliantly and put one hand on the edge of his car, looking like he would definitely be crossed out when taking the driving test.

The little sheep Jiang Lai's brown hair was blown up by the strong wind, and the cold wind pouring in from the car window was blowing.

He raised his hand to hold down his ponytail that was swinging in the wind: "Stop playing around, Wu. Nine out of ten accidents are caused by speeding. Please, I don't want to be on the traffic news bulletin board tomorrow. There's a sharp turn ahead--"

"Trust me - absolutely nothing will happen!" Gojo Satoru held the steering wheel with one hand and instantly made a beautiful and handsome drift turn, barely passing by!

Turning the corner, Gojo Satoru looked at Jiang Lai with some curiosity, and said with a little disappointment: "Oh, what a pity, I thought you would be a little scared. As expected of a thousand-year-old monster, your expression has not changed at all."

Jiang Lai sat upright in his chair. Except for being thrown around by the sharp turn just now, he was very calm the rest of the time.

Because this was not the first time he had ridden in such a car.

When he was in the Science World, he rode in Kenji Hagiwara's car. Due to some accidents, the other party also reacted on the spot and showed off his good driving skills.

In addition, Jinpei Matsuda also has some hobbies in racing, especially when he is lurking in the organization, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

——Because violations of rules and regulations are also handled by the organization, if there are multiple violations, it will be easier to catch the undercover lurking in the police traffic department.

It is a bit hard to help but complain, but it is indeed a factual conclusion.

Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Jiang Lai paused for a moment, but still cooperated with his expression with a delayed sigh: "Ah, I was shocked. Such a cool driving skill."

“Hey—that’s too perfunctory!” Gojo Satoru pouted and leaned back in his seat, his posture revealing the laziness of a big cat, “I’m not a child anymore.”

"These words make me feel nostalgic," Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile, "I remember you used to say that when you were in college."

"Let's clarify our identities. Now you are a child and I am an adult." Gojo Satoru snorted and laughed, "When we get to Wakkanai, I will take you, a child, to the fireworks festival."

"Fireworks festival?" Jiang Lai was a little surprised. It was rare to have fireworks festivals at this time of year.

"Yes. It just so happens that after Jay and I exchanged intelligence and collected clues, we determined that the place related to the [Ice and Snow Curse] in the legend is in the mountains behind the location of this fireworks festival." Gojo Satoru said, "Then we can collect intelligence at the fireworks festival first, meet up, and then explore there."

"Oh well."

Jiang Lai nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I can also relive the experience of the fireworks festival that year." Gojo Satoru's white eyelashes fluttered, and his beautiful blue eyes stared ahead, as if he could see through time.

He said briskly, "Well, but now, I am an adult and you are a teenager."

Time is a strange thing. I am growing up, but you are getting smaller.

It was like reincarnation, after going around in circles, under the dazzling and magnificent fireworks, there were still two figures, one big and one small.
