Chapter 210 Professional Matching

When they finally arrived in Wakkanai City, it happened to be the opening ceremony of the fireworks festival.

Accompanied by the "bang bang" sound of cannons and music, bunches of beautiful fireworks rushed into the sky and bloomed in the dark blue night sky.

Under the fireworks, the crowd surged, and people from all corners of the world gathered together at this fireworks display.

Gojo Satoru parked his car in the special parking space outside the venue and entered the venue with his little sheep Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai's consciousness moved around, observing the terrain and building distribution on the scene - this was a habit he developed from the world of science.

When arriving in an unfamiliar place, first confirm the terrain, ensure the evacuation route, and then conduct survey and exploration.

When he looked back, a bright pink rabbit light suddenly flashed in front of him.

Gojo Satoru raised his lips and said with a smile, "I bought the temple rabbit lantern from the door. How about it? Isn't it cute?"

He stuffed it into Jiang Lai's hand without hesitation, "Come on, little Watanabe, take your favorite rabbit lamp."

The shell of this rabbit lamp is soft pink, and it is decorated with bows and hearts, giving it a very dreamy girly style.

"..." Jiang Lai's eyes narrowed, but he finally accepted the pink rabbit lamp out of respect, and said, fitting in with his current identity as a brown-haired boy, "My favorite lamp is the lamb lamp. Is there anyone selling lamb lamps here?"

"It's not for sale, but we don't need to buy it." Gojo Satoru replied in a light tone, "Because it already exists."

Jiang Lai was a little confused, but he heard that the other party had not finished speaking, so he turned his head to look at the white-haired man.

Gojo Satoru extended his hand to Jiang Lai, made an inviting gesture, and said with a smile, "Come on, give me your hand, isn't it the same as me holding a little lamb lamp?"

Jiang Lai: “…”

"I'm just kidding." Gojo Satoru calmly withdrew his hand, took out a candy from somewhere, peeled it easily and threw it into his mouth, "Let's go, let's go inside and take a look - by the way, if you don't like the lamp, just throw it away~"

This way of speaking made it difficult for Jiang Lai to deal with the pink rabbit lamp in his hand that didn't fit in.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was probably using a tactic of retreating in order to advance, he still pouted and continued to move forward holding the tender pink girl rabbit lamp.

But Jiang Lai didn't just give up. He walked behind, constantly tearing off the small stickers on the side wall of the rabbit lamp and sticking them on Gojo Satoru's back one by one.

Such actions are not offensive, and Jiang Lai is an acquaintance, so naturally he will not be intercepted without limits.

With six eyes, Gojo Satoru has a 360-degree vision and can naturally detect the actions of the little sheep Jiang Lai, but he did not stop him. Instead, he walked forward leisurely as if nothing had happened.

The young man from Jiang Lai had small steps, so facing Gojou's long legs, he had to jog to keep up with him.

Fortunately, Gojo Satoru seemed to notice this later and slowed down his pace.

The two of them turned the corner ahead and walked from the center street of the fireworks festival to the sidewalk.

The flow of people here is not as large as that of the central streets, so it is relatively deserted.

Jiang Lai understood tacitly that Gojo Satoru was leading the way rather than just wandering around, so he released his magical power to explore the surroundings and confirm that it was safe (there was no iconic surveillance sign of the Supervisory Committee), then asked in a low voice:

"Should we go search now? Perhaps we can first learn more about the legend of the 'Ice Curse' from the locals."

"Of course." Gojo Satoru replied, "But you can leave the collection of this information to Jay~"

Yes. Jiang Lai remembered. They had agreed to meet at this fireworks festival.

It seems that Gojo Satoru and Geto Summer Oil have been in contact for a long time. If they are taking this side road now, it is either to investigate the scene and collect intelligence, or to meet up with Geto.

Gojo Satoru's next words also confirmed this: "Jie came here on his cursed spirit. There are not so many traffic rules in the sky. He came earlier than us and was already in this venue in advance."

Jiang Lai raised his eyes and looked at the small stalls on both sides of the road ahead, trying to find the figure of Geto Xia among the surrounding tourists.

There is not much traffic here, and there are few stalls. Most of them sell masks, wood carvings and other items that are not very popular but durable.

Gojo Satoru walked forward with his little sheep Jiang Lai. When passing by these stalls, he bought a few small toys with interest. After playing with them in his hands, he threw them to the brown-haired boy next to him.

Jiang Lai, who had more and more things in his hands, couldn't help but remind the other party in the end, and complained: "Don't buy anymore, or you can't get more - are you the child or am I the child?"

“Hey, can’t adults be childish for a bit?” Gojo Satoru shook his finger and said with a long tone, “You’re discriminating on your age—”

"…Then take it yourself."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Gojo Satoru smiled. He raised his hand to take the pile of items from Jiang Lai's arms and said, "Actually, I didn't buy so many on purpose. It's just that when I saw you being a kid now, I couldn't help but want to tease you."

"What kind of weird hobby is bullying kids? Is this why you always play pranks on students?"

"You must be kidding. How could I like to bully children? I like to play pranks on people from one-year-old babies to thousand-year-old elders." Gojo Satoru said slowly, "I play pranks on people of every age group equally."

"It's the truth."

Gojo Satoru smiled, and they walked a distance away quietly. He then spoke again, "Maybe it's because I've always seen you being nonchalant, which is not fun at all."

"When you grow up, I will be able to see so many emotions on your face. It will be interesting and fresh."

Jiang Lai half turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Have I always been calm and composed? Obviously, in front of you, I am also very relaxed."

"Having said that, I feel like you have a lot more responsibilities on your shoulders as an adult than you do now."

Gojo Satoru nodded in reply, his beautiful blue eyes hidden by a black eye mask, but his sight seemed to be able to see through the cloth and look straight at him.

"Really?" Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly. He didn't notice this.

"Yes." Gojo Satoru said briskly but surely.

"Maybe it's because the original form means facing more dangers." Jiang Lai thought about it and said, "When I was in my youth form, I was more with you and lived a daily life, so I didn't have that much pressure."

"No matter what form you take, there's no need to be nervous. The strongest is always on the same side with you."

Gojo Satoru took something out of the pile of items he bought and handed it to the brown-haired boy beside him, "Come on, since you are a child, feel the happiness of a child."

The white-haired man handed over a stick of incense and fireworks, which is called a fairy wand in traditional Chinese.

When these handheld fireworks burn, they burst into dazzlingly bright stars.

At a fireworks festival long ago, Jiang Lai once lit a fireworks for the young boy Wu, telling him that the world is big and there will always be company.

Now, Gojo Satoru gave Jiang Lai a fairy wand and told him that he should always be with his friends.

Facing the fairy wand handed to him by the white-haired man, Jiang Lai paused for a moment. He took the incense stick and lowered his eyelids, without responding for a while.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to play?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head, laughing but speaking slowly, "Are you so emotional that you can't speak?"

Jiang Lai opened his mouth and then whispered, "You...didn't give me a lighter."

"……Why?!"

"But then I thought about it again, I don't seem to need a lighter." Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile, and he took out a box of matches from his pocket.

——This was given free of charge by the receptionist at the gate of the fireworks festival, because there were many free small fireworks available in the venue.

After being interrupted by Jiang Lai's joke, Gojo Satoru retreated: "I say, the atmosphere just now is completely gone!"

"Isn't the current entertainment atmosphere just right?" Jiang Lai said leisurely, "Although we reminisce about the past, we live in the present."

He struck a match and lit the fairy wand in his hand. The incense sticks burst into flames, and tiny twinkling stars burst out. Those bright stars were reflected in the dark eyes of the little sheep Jiang Lai.

It was at this time that they reached the end of the side aisle, where the last stall stood, a small tent set up like a squatter's hut.

In fact, it looked like a food stall. The owner was a man wearing a black robe with golden patterns on the edges. Half of his face was covered by a hood, revealing only his raised lips.

It looks mysterious...but also a little familiar.

The burning fairy wand in Jiang Lai's hand illuminated the crystal ball and books on the table. In addition, there was a black liquid fox lying next to it, blinking its big eyes.

Jiang Lai: “?” Why you again?

The liquid fox gathered neatly to the side, forming an inky water ball.

It took a peek at Jiang Lai, who looked like a brown-haired boy, and struggled with its instinct to recognize the person and the unusual image in front of it.

The liquid fox hesitated for a second, looked again, hesitated for another second, and finally opened its mouth tentatively and uttered the silent word "hungry".

Jiang Lai was silent for a moment, threw the burning fairy wand in his hand over, and slightly adjusted his own aura. Liquid foxes are very sensitive to [existence], and they must be able to sense even the slightest bit.

After the little fox ate it in one gulp, it stomped its feet happily on the spot, as if it had confirmed something.

Jiang Lai shifted his gaze from the liquid fox to the owner of the food stall.

Since the Nightmare Fox is here, that means Xia Youjie is also here. It can't be the one in front of us...

While he was thinking, the stall owner in front of him also raised his head. Under the hood was a young man with a ball-shaped haircut and a smiling mask.

——It’s Geto Suguru!

Jiang Lai leaned back tactically and then reacted.

So what Gojo Satoru meant by the other party arriving at the venue early was that he had already set up a stall here? ?

However, setting up a mysterious stall to teach how to eat rotten food is probably a professional match for Jie. After all, he was once a potential cult leader, and he is very skilled in mystery and deception.

Jiang Lai was silent for a moment.

Who knows, he might even be able to get some information about the "Ice and Snow Curse" from the tourists around him.
