Chapter 211 Best Answer: Fight

They have been exchanging information with each other, and Xia Youjie knows Jiang Lai's sheep alias, but this is the first time he has seen it face to face.

Xia Yujie stared at the brown-haired boy in front of him, looking through the outer shell of a junior high school student to the thousand-year-old soul inside.

He still maintained the look of a stall owner, and spoke softly and in a rather impressive voice, "Young and lovely guest, do you want to take advantage of your uncertain fate?"

"Hey, why don't you ask me first?" Gojo Satoru beside him interrupted jokingly, waving his hand, "I'm a tall and handsome guy, am I not more eye-catching than him?"

Xia Yujie said calmly: "Women and children are given priority. Are you a child or is he a child?"

"I'm a child." Gojo Satoru said openly.

Xia Yujie: “…”

Kagome: "Those who are taller than 1.6 meters should line up at the back."

Gojo Satoru: "It's okay, I can squat down~"

Xia Yujie: “…”

Xia Yujie naturally responded: "Well, since you are so insistent, then this guest, let me take some tangerines for you."

He placed one hand on the crystal ball on the wooden table and stroked it gently in an expert manner.

The wide sleeves of his robe were blown up by the evening breeze, and the intricate patterns on it rippled with a strange luster. A summoned cursed spirit floated behind him, lowering the temperature at the scene further and creating a mysterious and ominous atmosphere.

Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly, watching what Kagome Kai was doing, and chuckled with some curiosity, "How's it going, you look like a very stylish fortune teller, did you find anything out?"

Xia Yujie put down his hand calmly: "I see your fate that will happen to you."

"Oh, is this true?" He raised the corners of his lips and moved closer. "What is it?"

Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox: "If you go crazy again, you will be beaten."

Gojo Satoru: “?”

He leaned back tactically and said in a brisk tone, "Hey, hey, that's really too much. If you were to come to the point, you went crazy more times than I did."

"The past is the past, let's not talk about the things that happened too long ago." Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said slowly, "For now, count how many harassing advertisements you have sent me?"

Gojo Satoru laughed and replied with a rising tone: "Since the past is in the past, it is better not to mention the recent ones~"

Jiang Lai, who had been silent, raised his hand silently and said with a wink: "We don't have to talk about the past, but we still have to remember the old accounts - Jie reminded me to retaliate against you for the pranks you have done."

"How could this happen, child? Your body is clearly standing next to me, but your heart is facing the other side of the chasm. Are you a devout believer of mine, or a messenger from hell—"

Gojo Satoru speaks the movie lines in an exaggerated manner, and connects the gags very smoothly.

"Well, okay, stop joking and get down to business." Finally, it was Geto Suguru who made a pause gesture, the first to show the self-discipline of an adult.

When Geto was in high school, he was also a person who had a lot of fun with Satoru, but after experiencing the undercover incident of the Supervisory Commission, his personality has become much calmer now.

Now, there was no one around, and they had confirmed that it was safe in advance, so they were able to interact so naturally.

However, the time for free communication is limited. After all, this is a mobile area, and you never know who will come here later.

By then, there will be too many people around and it will be inconvenient to hand over market information.

Now, while most people go to midfield to watch the fireworks show, they can practice and chat here.

Jiang Lai first said: "I collected some information about the 'Ice Curse' rumor in this area from the Internet on the way here. The place where this strange news occurred is Qishan - the high mountain far behind the venue of this fireworks festival."

"No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the temperature of this mountain is always below zero, there is always snow that does not melt, and even in the hot summer there will be huge blizzards."

"That's right. This is what the locals call the 'Ice Curse'." Xia Yujie confirmed this and continued, "I set up a stall here to take in the food. While taking in the food, I targeted a few locals and got more information from them after a brief conversation."

"Qishan was originally like other mountains around it. It was not until ten years ago that local people noticed that the winter in this mountain range was lingering and had persisted for a long time."

"Initially, locals were curious about this and thought it was a good business opportunity, so they started some tourism promotion. However, most of the tourists who came to Qishan did not even leave the mountain and froze to death inside."

"Frozen to death?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows. "In today's society, are there still people who are fully prepared to travel and freeze to death in the mountains?"

"That's the problem," Xia Yujie nodded. "People who have managed to get out of the Seven Mountains said that after entering the mountain and walking a distance, their outer clothes and various warm-keeping equipment lost their effect, and it was like being naked in the middle of winter."

"That's why many people died in there before they could get out. The Seventh Mountain was shrouded in a cursed cloud, and no one dared to enter it."

At this point, Gojo Satoru added: "Before I came here, I specifically looked through the online electronic magic mission archive. The magic world also sent people to explore the Seven Mountains, but there was no gain."

"There is indeed a curse in the area, but it was caused by the local people's fear of the Seven Mountains. It is not the curse that caused the severe winter in the Seven Mountains."

"It does sound strange." Jiang Lai pondered, "Could it be some special effect of a special magic tool, or a formation arrangement?"

"That's not clear." Gojo Satoru shrugged, his words a little heavy, "After all - if this is really where Kuroi is buried, then the regulatory agency must have informed the top management long ago."

"Those rotten oranges are best at messing with their own people. They will definitely hinder the investigation and put this matter aside silently." Gojo Satoru did not hide his annoyance with the senior executives in his words.

"Besides that, there is another possibility." Xia Yujie crossed his hands, his expression was a little solemn, and his words were slow, "That is her herself."

"Herself?"

"If we assume that Miss Kuroi is really in the Seven Mountains," said Xia Yujie, "the cause of this 'Ice and Snow Curse' scene may be not only curse spirits, special curse tools and formations, but also the unconscious release of a spell by the sorcerer himself."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows: "Hey, wait, Jay, even though it's been a long time since the Astral Body mission, it's not like we've forgotten it - Kuroi isn't a sorcerer, she's just an ordinary guard with armed powers."

"I know she wasn't a sorcerer then, but that may not be the case later." Xia Yujie lowered his eyelids and exhaled, "Main, it can transform the brain into a sorcerer's brain through inaction, thereby activating the sorcerer's ability."

"Based on the information I have gathered from the regulatory agency, it was born very early, as early as the interstellar plasma event."

This surprised Jiang Lai a little. He didn't expect that the real person's birth time in the new series was so much earlier than in the original work.

Gojo Satoru frowned slightly behind his eye mask. He also put away his usual carefree demeanor and said seriously:

"Even if Kuroi was transformed into a magician's brain and could use his own magic, it would be impossible for him to perform it day after day for ten years. No one except me can keep doing this all the time."

Gojo Satoru's words were not self-praise, but the truth. There was no one in the world who could open the ritual automatically and non-stop like him.

After all, there is only one Rokugan in the world. He is unique.

In addition, a technique that can cover an entire mountain must be released at maximum power. It is impossible for anyone to withstand such a high output of mana.

"That's right." Kagome nodded, and he said, "But there is a regulatory committee behind the scenes. The regulatory committee has instruments for transformation and transmission equipment, which can continuously maintain the unconscious Miss Kuroi's full skill."

“…”

Such a bold guess made everyone present silent.

Xia Yujie's inference is not unreasonable. In fact, it is very likely the correct answer.

Because he is the person who has the most contact with the Regulatory Commission and is best able to present problems from the Regulatory Commission's perspective.

"Why would those guys spend so much energy treating Kuroi like this?" Gojo Satoru clicked his tongue.

Jiang Lai paused and replied, "Maybe it was a restriction signed between the Regulatory Commission and Riko. For example, the Regulatory Commission agreed to keep Kuroi alive so that Riko Tenuchi would work for them."

"But a living person is too volatile, and Kuroi certainly doesn't want to constrain Riko because of herself. So the Supervisory Council activated Kuroi's technique and used her technique as a prison to trap her in sleep."

"This operation, in addition to trapping Kuroi, can also constantly urge the Star Plasma Body Amanouchi Riko to do things for them - because they can stop the transmission at any time, causing Kuroi's curse power to exhaust and die unconsciously. Riko cannot resist them."

Jiang Lai calmly deduced the cruel truth further.

“…”

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru remained silent, their expressions were not very good. The asteroid incident was originally a regret, and now the regret has been magnified so cruelly, no one can remain calm.

However, Xia Yujie still maintained his rationality. He pursed his lips and said, "If our guess is correct, then there is still a very troublesome point - the regulatory agency must be monitoring Miss Kuroi's situation at all times, and we cannot rescue her quietly."

As the current situation develops, they are still focusing on concealment.

For example, they had secretly removed three of the four tower guards before. But if they wanted to completely remove that layer of the contract, there was still one more thing that was the most troublesome and most likely to alarm the regulatory committee, which was at the Zen temple.

So they didn't rush to deal with it and simply kept it, planning to deal with it later.

As it happens, if the contract still exists, the supervisory body will not notice the destruction of the Four Sides Guard Tower. After all, the characteristics of the tower determine that it is not convenient to be inspected in real time and it is not necessary to be inspected in real time (guarded by special cursed spirits, remote formation islands, and on Hu Zi).

Jiang Lai and his team can continue to delay the time gate for some time and obtain more favorable intelligence for their side before the real decisive battle begins.

So in the same way, the idea of ​​rescuing Kuroi Misato this time is to avoid exposing the enemy's situation as much as possible.

Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "Since it is impossible to rescue in secret, there is no need to pursue silence. Let's just change the way of thinking and make a bigger noise."

"you mean……?"

Jiang Lai blinked: "What I mean is, you guys should just have a fight, fight hard, flatten the mountain, and then you can accidentally discover Miss Heijing among them."

At this point, Jiang Lai also joked: "You two were going to settle the score anyway, so now you can just fight it out. It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

If you can't help secretly, then let's fight openly!
