Chapter 219: Dream Connection

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai decided to give it a try immediately.

This intelligence information is time-sensitive, the sooner the better. Who knows if the regulatory committee that knows that the seal of [Kuroi Misato] has been broken will do something extreme, or trick Riko into signing more restrictions?

Therefore, it is very important to let Riko Amauchi know the truth as soon as possible.

Jiang Lai turned over and got out of bed. He was wearing a pair of plush lamb pajamas - these pajamas were bought at a nearby shopping mall. Gojo Satoru was always too lazy to bring a suitcase with him, so when he went out, he would just buy anything he needed locally.

So at that time, Jiang Lai only carried a small schoolbag containing his homework and followed Gojo Satoru out.

At this moment, Jiang Lai took three or two steps to the next bed.

The white-haired man on top was sleeping peacefully with a blanket covering him and breathing steadily.

Due to the special nature of the six eyes, Gojo Satoru's sleep is shallow and short. However, with his friend by his side, he is relaxed and falls asleep faster than usual.

Although the two knew each other, generally speaking, sorcerers have an instinctive reaction of defending and counterattacking. So in order to prevent being accidentally injured, Jiang Lai called out softly from a distance, in a sheep-like manner, "Gojo-sensei?"

It was late at night and the environment was very quiet. The suppressed breath was also clearly audible in such silence.

Gojo Satoru's eyelashes fluttered lightly, as if they were about to open.

Because he was preparing to test the dream connection of the fusion of cursed power, Jiang Lai used his mobile phone to switch his body shape in advance and turned back into his original form.

Although he can try to release some of the power of "existence" in the form of a little sheep, it is not as convenient as his original form. If he wants to try to merge with Gojo Satoru's cursed power, it is better to use his original form.

He switched back to his adult form, standing beside her in a black windbreaker. His voice changed as he asked again, "Wu? Are you awake?"

"…I didn't wake up, but now I'm awake."

A lazy voice came from the bed, and the pair of blue eyes suddenly opened, and the glass-like eyes turned to the side.

Gojo Satoru sat up. He looked at Jiang Lai who had switched back to his original form, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously: "Are you... Midnight Horror?"

"Ah?" Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment after hearing these words.

Gojo Satoru tapped the palm of his right hand with his left hand, then pretended to have suddenly understood something and said carefully:

"But, you're not very professional. Logically, you should have crawled out from the cupboard or the TV. At the very least, you should have crawled out from under the bed or out the window. That would have been more impressive than just standing there."

Jiang Lai: “…”

"It was just a joke." Gojo Satoru said lightly, his expression slightly more serious, "What happened?"

The frosty and delicate eyebrows showed a little sharpness. The white-haired man obviously misunderstood Jiang Lai's appearance as the growth of some special conditions, and his expression showed that he was ready for a fight.

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Jiang Lai explained first, indicating that the other party did not need to concentrate the magic power, and his appearance was not due to an accident.

Gojo Satoru relaxed a little: "So what are you doing..." He put one hand on his chin and smiled, "You can't sleep in the middle of the night and want to chat with me? The boyish look before is more suitable than the adult look now. After all, the childish image allows you to act coquettishly without any burden."

"I do want to talk to you, but it's a serious matter." Jiang Lai calmed down and said seriously, "Have I ever mentioned to you that I can connect with my conceptual family members in dreams?"

"I tried to connect to [Rebirth] before, and the first person to appear in my dream was Amanouchi Riko, who is now the vessel."

Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly and understood what Jiang Lai meant: "So, you can contact Tennai."

"Yes." This is exactly what Jiang Lai wanted to say, "I can meet with Tenuchi Riko through dreams and tell her about [Kuroi Misato]."

"That sounds good." Gojo Satoru agreed. "In this way, not only can we tell her about [Kuroi Misato], but we can also get more information about the Supervisory Committee from Tennai."

Then, Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you called me up on purpose because you couldn't wait to share this information?"

"I woke you up on purpose, not just to tell you this." Jiang Lai sighed and explained the reason, "Tenauchi Riko doesn't know me, so she doesn't trust me. When we connected in the dream before, she directly pushed me out of her spiritual world."

"So, I woke you up on purpose so that I could meet Amanouchi Riko in my dream with you. I think she believes in you."

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, his thoughts drifting back to his days at the technical college. He paused for a moment and then asked, "Can we go together?"

"I have some guesses, but I still need to try." Jiang Lai replied, "My initial idea is to connect with the dream world under the premise of the fusion of magic power. In this way, we can probably go to Tenuchi Riko's spiritual world together."

"Just like the combined domain we tried before?" Gojo Satoru understood, and he waved his hands. "Come on, do you want to sleep with hand gestures? Oh - it feels weird, like some kindergarten cartoon."

"... Not really." Jiang Lai frowned for a second, then said, "We are not deploying a domain, so there is no need to make special gestures. If it is a simple fusion of mana, we just need to consciously release mana together."

He released his cursed energy, allowing the entire room door to be filled with the cursed energy shared by him and Gojo Satoru, creating the premise for the fusion of cursed energy.

Falling asleep in such an environment can probably achieve the effect of a shared dream connection.

Gojo Satoru gestured: "OK~ I understand completely."

After a pause, he reminded, "But speaking of this, if we release our magic power at the same time, it will attract the attention of [Window], right? You'd better open the space gate barrier."

"I'll open it in advance." Jiang Lai nodded and joked, "Otherwise, wouldn't it expose the fact that we're together? This doesn't fit the setting of the script [Suddenly a familiar stranger]."

"It doesn't matter," Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "If [Window] notices our cursed power, then we can always adjust the script."

"Let's change it to what I said before - the Midnight Horror series. You turned into a fierce cursed spirit and came to my bedside in the middle of the night. After you stared at the fermentation of the cursed power, you decided to assassinate me, a super invincible handsome guy."

Jiang Lai: "...I don't want to act in such a play, thank you. And please don't give me any weird names!"

The two joked with each other for a while and then prepared to try dream connection.

Jiang Lai deployed the perfect space door barrier in advance, forming a transparent protective shield inside the house to prevent the leakage of the curse power.

He and Gojo Satoru both calmly released their cursed energy, allowing it to intertwine and fuse in this small area.

"But, can I fall asleep?" Gojo Satoru lay back down, thinking casually, "This kind of situation where I have something important to do is different from the easy sleep I usually have."

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said seriously, "If you can't sleep, I can knock you out with my phone. You have no limits and will not defend yourself, you know. I will definitely be quick, accurate and ruthless."

Gojo Satoru did a sit-up and said exaggeratedly, "...Hey, wait! This isn't the correct way to answer!"

Jiang Lai chuckled and said, "Really? Then what is the correct answer?"

The white-haired man shook his finger and replied, "You should say something like, 'Come, let me tell you a few stories.' The best way to cure insomnia is to tell stories~!"

"Do you still like listening to stories?"

"Why not? I've liked it since I was a child." Gojo Satoru lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, his sky-high eyes fixed on the ceiling, his expression as if he had let go of his memories.

"I still remember what you told me a long time ago... At that time, there were not many people who told me stories, so I remembered the words you said for a long time."

Jiang Lai tried hard to recall, and only remembered that he picked out some interesting stories from his mobile phone (book) and told them to young Wu.

But he couldn't quite remember what he said.

Although the strongest six-eyes have an amazing memory, Jiang Lai is still surprised that he can remember such distant events, even those before the reversal of the game.

"Well, the time door is limited, so you should go to sleep." Gojo Satoru changed the subject lightly. He didn't say anything more, and the air became quiet.

The two of them stopped joking with each other and prepared to fall asleep again.

Cursed spirits have no concept of sleep, so the state that Jiang Lai adjusted with the feather necklace is more like that of humans.

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains into the room, and sleepiness slowly rose up like the tide.

Jiang Lai's eyelids were fighting each other, but he closed them instinctively and relaxed his mind in this reassuring environment of cursed power.

——

…

The surroundings were filled with empty darkness, the endless darkness seemed to have swallowed up everything. Only a faint glimmer of light in the distance indicated the direction of the road ahead.

Jiang Lai had seen this dark and dim dream scene before when he was connected with [Rebirth] (Riko Amauchi), so it was not unfamiliar to him.

"Oh, this view is really dark. It seems that the six eyes are of no particular use here."

A voice came from the side. Jiang Lai turned his head and saw the white-haired man beside him with surprise and thought it was reasonable.

Gojo Satoru half turned, raised his hand and waved, smiling, "Hey~ It seems your guess is correct." He said, "This dream world is safer to communicate with than the real world. Maybe it can be used as a secret base in the future?"

Jiang Lai was amused, but he also saw the feasibility of it.

He continued, "That sounds good. In that case, let's invite Shangjie to come together next time? I just don't know if the fusion of the three people's magic power will cause some problems and cause inconsistency in the dream connection."

"You can try more~ if there is a chance." Gojo Satoru waved his hand lightly, not seeming to insist, "Forget it if it doesn't work. Besides, Jie probably doesn't have time to rest with us."

He skipped the topic and looked at the faint light in the distance of the darkness. His blue eyes narrowed slightly: "The role of the six eyes is limited here. However, I can feel what is there."

"Riko is there." Jiang Lai remembered the scene he had walked past. Deep in the dream, Amauchi Riko, still in the image of a young girl, was leaning over a desk in the light, writing and drawing.

"Perhaps there are more than just Tennai," Gojo Satoru said, "The one you mentioned called...[Rebirth] is also here, isn't he?"

“—He may not be aware of it, but He is definitely there.”
