Chapter 231: There is no such thing as a sorcerer dying without regrets...

Jiang Lai did not hide this idea. After thinking about it in his mind, he said directly: "Wu, I have an idea."

“…What?” Gojo Satoru was still in a bad mood at this moment, but he was not the kind of person who would take out his anger on the people around him.

He tried to keep his tone calm, throwing all the mixed anger into the trash can and leaving his sincerity and frankness to his good friends.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath and told everyone everything he had just thought about in the meeting room and in the car.

After listening to Jiang Lai's speculation, Gojo Satoru affirmed it: "It makes sense. The regulatory agency will not take the initiative to destroy the tower. Everything they do has a purpose."

"It's important to know the effect of the Tower of Positive and Negative. We can adjust the script later based on this." Jiang Lai mentioned at the end, "So I plan to look for Gojo Kyukaede."

"Huh? Forget it." Gojo Satoru subconsciously denied it and reminded, "After all, that guy is from the Supervisory Commission. His position is wavering. It's too dangerous to go after him."

"It's okay, don't worry." Jiang Lai smiled, "It's not the first time I've met him. I saw him before when I was wearing a sheep vest, and later when my original body went to attend the Curse Spirit Dinner, I also had close contact with him - so, we are not strangers anymore."

"That's why we have to be alert. Maybe he was deliberately showing goodwill to you before, waiting for you to fall into his trap later." Gojo Satoru snorted, "The people of the Yusan family are basically not good people. They came from a cannibalistic family and they must have other means to gain a foothold."

"You are also from the Yu San family and have become the head of the family, but you are not a scheming evil person." Jiang Lai responded with a smile.

"...Are you praising my kindness or mocking my lack of means?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said in a relaxed voice, "Of course, I'm not a kind person - it's just that you haven't seen my evil side."

As the tail sound faded, the vehicle just happened to pass through a bridge tunnel.

Those beautiful blue eyes appeared deep and remote under the dark light and shadow, like a lake that was almost frozen all year round on a high mountain in the polar regions.

Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and said half seriously and half jokingly, "As for the evil side... does the Tower of Crossroads count? The greatest and most powerful curser in history?"

“…Hey, why are you using this joke again?” Gojo Satoru felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

The vehicle drove out of the dim bridge tunnel and into the sunlight again. Its pair of six eyes were clearer than glass beads.

The white-haired man held the steering wheel with one hand, and then continued: "Actually, that doesn't count. Because I still remembered you in my subconscious at that time, so I didn't really regard you as an enemy. I think I did show hurtful alienation and indifference at that time, but I never had a real intention to kill."

Jiang Lai did not refute this. He actually knew how Gojo Satoru treated real enemies.

When Jiang Lai was reading the original novel of Curse Back, he knew a joke, which was to guess who the real villain was by looking at the picture - it was difficult for outsiders to judge, because the decent villains in Curse Back were often more accurate than the villains.

The saying "all sorcerers are crazy" is not just talk.

"But I rarely use the political tactics that are common in my family. What you said about rarely using tricks is indeed true for me."

Gojo Satoru continued, his tone brisk, "Well, all conspiracies are useless in the face of absolute force. Therefore, I can go against the general rules and stand in the position of the head of the family openly - no one has any objections."

Gojo Satoru's words may seem arrogant, but they are actually true. He spoke in an extremely calm and natural tone, with the strongest light between his eyebrows.

"So you said it out." Jiang Lai also laughed, "In the face of absolute force, all conspiracies are in vain. So why don't you try to contact and test Gojo Kyukazein just because you are worried about his methods?"

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment before reacting.

The white-haired man held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "Lai, you have become bad. You are actually trying to trick me."

"How can this be considered a routine? It's just to bring up a point that you and I both agree on." Jiang Lai's eyebrows curved, and he said in a gentle voice, "My decision to take the initiative to find Gojo Jiufengyuan was not a rash decision."

"First of all, I have a certain understanding of that guy. I have some guesses about his personality, thoughts, and plans. For now, Jiufengyuan can be considered a member of our front line, because everything he does is to stir up the start of the decisive battle, and therefore to promote the progress on our side."

"Secondly, my strength can support my adventurous behavior, and the nature of [existence] prevents the barrier from trapping me."

"I know the nature of your [Existence]." Gojo Satoru nodded, "But what if he has some special weapon against [Existence]?"

Here, because he didn't want to open up Jiang Lai's scars, Gojo Satoru did not directly say the name of [Rebirth].

Not long ago, Gojo Satoru was in Tenuchi Riko's spiritual world and heard many secrets, one of which was the betrayal and bondage of [Rebirth].

What if the regulator uses the same trick again and treats Lai like this? Gojo Satoru pondered.

"I don't think Jiufengyuan has anything that can directly trap [existence]. Otherwise, he wouldn't have started with trust a thousand years ago." Jiang Lai exhaled lightly and said slowly, "I am prepared, and I won't turn my back to him."

At this point, Jiang Lai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Finally - aren't you still here? I don't plan to go there secretly or alone."

"What should I do with the strongest player like you in front of me? I don't pursue personal heroism." Jiang Lai said half-jokingly, and the smile under the boy's shell showed a sly and cute look, "Teamwork is the correct way to defeat the enemy."

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru's blue eyes turned slightly, and his expression visibly relaxed. The corners of his lips curved up, and the ending tone rose: "Oh - it seems that you are not stupid, Lai, you know to ask for help from me, the strongest one."

"Yes, cooperation." Jiang Lai said, "I will switch to another body and go to Gojo's house to talk to Jiufengyuan. After all, that is your territory, you can show up at any time."

"No problem~~ I'm the best at observing the fluctuations of cursed energy." Gojo Satoru made an OK sign and said with great enthusiasm, "I'm even better at 'accidentally injuring' the elders and rotten oranges."

Jiang Lai was silent for a moment, then smiled. He knew that what Gojo Satoru called "accidental injury" was also known as "precision strike".

"There's no need to rush into it." Jiang Lai added, "We'll take action based on the situation then. Just listen to me this time."

"I always listen to you..." Gojo Satoru muttered softly, and then nodded lazily, "Okay, no problem, who said I'm the considerate handsome Gojo?"

"...Doesn't it make you feel bad when you say that?"

"Hahaha, how can it be offensive to brag about yourself? No, no, it's not an exaggeration, it's the truth."

The originally depressing atmosphere in the car returned to a relaxed state, and the vehicle drove smoothly on the road, heading towards the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

——

Although the two have agreed on the role to be found next, the previous matters still need to be dealt with first.

Gojo Satoru first went back to the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Yuji Itadori, who was always with the special cursed spirit, was particularly nervous when facing Gojo Satoru, with his lips pursed straight. He knew that the executioner was Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru didn't mind the flattering attitude. He waved his hand and moved closer to the cherry-pink-haired boy: "Yuujin, teacher heard that those rotten oranges sent someone to look for you?"

"Ah, the top management? Yes." Yuji Itadori is a polite and good boy. He nodded and said, "They came to talk to me not long ago."

"The last two fingers were missing, and I couldn't guarantee to control Sukuna, especially since he lost control before, so they decided to execute me. The destruction of 18 fingers was enough to weaken Sukuna."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows: "...Don't just nod your head when I tell you, or smile and say 'OK' foolishly."

"How did you know that, Mr. Gojo?" Yuji Itadori widened his golden-orange eyes, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Well... that was pretty much how I responded.

"In fact, I have already prepared to die. After all, Sukuna is really a big trouble, and I will not lose anything if I can die with him."

Yuji Itadori smiled brightly, and he didn't look like he was talking about death.

He walked two or three steps to the side, bowed, stood up, put his hands together, and said loudly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Gojo! I have caused you a lot of trouble over the years - I'm sorry, teacher, I have to trouble you to execute me in the end."

The cherry-pink-haired boy has clear eyes and speaks sincerely.

"..." Gojo Satoru didn't say anything at first. After a while, he said, "If you really die like this, don't you have any regrets?"

"Well, there must be some. Teacher, you said that there is no such thing as a sorcerer dying without regrets." Yuji Itadori counted on his fingers, "I was out on a mission a few days ago and ate a delicious dessert. I didn't have time to bring you a souvenir, Teacher Gojo."

"Kusaki, Fushiguro, they said they wanted to learn how to make meatballs from me. But we don't have time anymore."

“I can’t personally deliver the Christmas gifts for my seniors and other teachers in the second half of this year.”

"I also feel a little sorry for Zhan Xiang who was standing by my side, and for everyone else..."

"And..." Yuji Itadori's eyebrows drooped, "I haven't recognized him yet."

——The "he" in the words refers to Jiang Lai. He has not yet recognized his brother.

Yuji Itadori took a deep breath, raised his eyes again, and said sincerely: "So, can you ask Mr. Gojo to keep the letters for me? In the future, if there is a chance, maybe I can give them to him... I have written many, many letters to him."

Gojo Satoru turned slightly and shook his head, "No, Hisahito. The teacher cannot agree to this."

He said slowly, "Whether it's a letter or a conversation, things like thoughts have to be delivered in person to be meaningful."
