Chapter 239 Death Penalty and Rebirth

Although the recognition was delayed, it finally came as expected and did not disappoint the long wait and expectations.

But this embrace did not last long, because Ryomen Sukuna quickly kicked Yuji Itadori out of his living area.

Before Yuji Itadori could even make a sound, he was kicked out mercilessly by the mysterious air.

In reality, the pink-haired boy jumped up from the bed, awakened suddenly. His heart was pounding, and after a few seconds, he came to his senses and gritted his teeth and muttered: "Huh? Bastard Sukuna...!"

Yuji Itadori is a good boy who respects others. Although he knows some swear words, he just can't say them. After holding it in for a long time, he finally knocked on the bed board in anger to vent his anger.

After calming down, Yuji Itadori once again recalled the scene in the realm he had just been born in. He paused, spread his hands, slightly widened his golden orange eyes, and his mind was empty.

He still remembered the warmth of the embrace just now, and the feeling of his palms when he hugged the other person in response. Those... those should all be real, right?

There seemed to be tears still accumulating in my eyes, and a little sob lingered in my throat. The emotions in my spiritual consciousness also reflected the reality.

I saw him, Yuji Itadori thought. He still remembers me too.

Unconsciously, a bright smile appeared on the boy's face, and the radiance of youth seemed to be able to illuminate the entire room.

Although he didn't know how long they would be together in the future... he was sure that he would be executed eventually. For the sake of the wider community, he had to take the initiative to move towards the end.

But, at least now, he wanted to leave more memories worth cherishing, so that he would have less regrets and regrets when he left.

Yuji Itadori turned over and got out of bed. He took two steps towards the desk and opened the drawers on the bottom and middle levels.

There were neatly stacked letters in the middle drawer, in all kinds of colors, all of which were written by him to Jiang Lai.

The drawer on the lower level contains some miscellaneous small gadgets, but they are all very delicate and cute. These are souvenirs collected by Yuji Itadori during his daily missions.

He took out the letters and souvenirs and found a large gift box piled in a corner.

With the solemnity of sorting out the remains and the love of giving gifts to relatives, Yuji Itadori lowered his golden-orange eyes and began to pack carefully.

——

Born in the field.

It seems that Ryomen Sukuna also wants to kick out Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru together, but because the dream connection between Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru is essentially a connection between the bodies, Sukuna, who is not the body itself, cannot kick them out.

"...Get out of my territory." Ryoumen Sukuna looked unprepared, and he raised his head slightly, "After a thousand years, you guys still know how to hate me as always."

"Really?" Jiang Lai was calm and smiled. "I should thank you for the opportunity you provided me."

These words made Ryomen Sukuna's face even more uglier, because he also understood that the family drama that made him sick just now was only possible because he dragged Yuji Itadori into the realm of life.

Jiang Lai did not make more jokes here, he knew the key point he should do next.

The priority now was still the negotiations. Since the purpose of the negotiations was cooperation, there was no need to anger Ryoumen Sukuna just because of a quick word.

So Jiang Lai changed the subject and returned to the previous discussion: "As you said, if the fragment has been absorbed by Yuji Itadori, then this item can be excluded from our cooperation agreement. However, just in case, you must set up a bond to ensure that the fragment is not kept by you."

"I have no interest in this kind of thing, and I won't resort to trickery in a place like this." Ryoumen Sukuna's voice was slightly disdainful, and he glanced at her with his scarlet eyes, "But you," he paused here, revealing a thoughtful look, "Compared to before, I always feel that there is something more..."

The second half of the sentence was vague and not really spoken. Ryoumen Sukuna raised the corner of his lips and said, "Have you met with the so-called other similar people?"

Jiang Lai took half a second to react and realized that the other party was referring to [existences].

I did see a derivative of [Birth] not long ago, which can be considered as contact with [Birth] in a sense, but how did I know this?

Combined with the words that Ryoumen Sukuna had not fully revealed before, Jiang Lai guessed that the other party could vaguely sense a more subtle aura of [existence] from him.

Then, the reason why the other party can be so sensitive to me is because I absorbed half of his divine nature a thousand years ago, so their connection has become closer?

Jiang Lai speculated in his mind, and he felt that this conjecture was possible.

"If that's the case, it looks like a lot of preparation has already been done." Ryoumen Sukuna learned more from this detail and realized that Jiang Lai had already made a lot of plans and it was not a sudden impulse to use him as a gun.

The comprehensive preparation of the partners will make the cooperation trip more stable. Ryoumen Sukuna quickly analyzed the situation, crossed his arms in front of his chest, stood on the tall Niugu Mountain, and said slowly: "Well, yes. I will approve your cooperation request."

'Permit'? 'Request'? There was something unspokenly arrogant about the word.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't care about these verbal confrontations that would not affect the outcome, so he didn't argue with anything.

However, Gojo Satoru beside him was not a person with such a good temper that he would not mind. He sighed, his eyes bright and dazzling, and responded with similar arrogance: "But, in this case, we will also allow you, an outsider, to cooperate."

Ryomen Sukuna narrowed his eyes upon hearing that, he raised one hand and swung out a sharp cursed blade!

Gojo Satoru also reacted quickly, taking a few steps back to easily avoid the attack, and then fired a cursed force at the Ox Bone Mountain in front of him.

The two engaged in a brief confrontation in this living realm. For a moment, blood was surging, bones were flying, and the catastrophe of the cursed power swept through.

Jiang Lai did not come on stage. He was standing aside, considering the specific contents of the binding contract.

After thinking it over, he waved his hands and used a space barrier to temporarily stop their fight, then smiled and said, "Stop for a while. If you really want to fight, there will be another chance later."

The two men fell to the bloody ground and turned their eyes to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai said: "According to the content of our cooperation and the script, you, Sukuna, will be released from the execution ground. Then you can just have a simple fight. As for the extent of this simple fight, you know it in your own minds-"

When he said the second half of the sentence, Jiang Lai looked at Gojo Satoru diagonally in front of him, blinked lightly, and pointed upwards, indicating something meaningful.

Gojo Satoru, who was already very familiar with the situation and had a tacit understanding, immediately realized: the opponent meant that he could hold back his anger and wait until Ryomen Sukuna really came out before fighting. Even if it was a brief confrontation, the power could directly destroy the area around the execution room - that is, where the senior executives were stationed!

So Gojo Satoru immediately stopped and said cheerfully, "What's the point of fighting in the realm of life? What's interesting is to go out and fight (rotten orange)."

Ryomen Sukuna could tell there was something else behind their words, but he was too lazy to care.

In fact, he had similar ideas and planned to cause a big scene on his way out and get revenge on those guys who dared to frame him.

Especially the noose that deceived him a thousand years ago and is still alive today... If he finds it, he swears to make that guy pay the price.

The battle in the realm of life subsided. Ryomen Sukuna gathered his cold and sharp cursed energy and jumped down from the pile of ox bones, splashing water when he landed.

Gojo Satoru also withdrew his hand, his eyelids drooped lazily, and his six eyes, like glass beads, looked delicate and beautiful.

Jiang Lai took a few steps forward and stood in front of the two of them, forming a triangle-like position.

——Cursed spirits, humans, and quasi-gods gathered together. This was a rare and eye-catching moment of peace, the first time such a scene had appeared in a thousand years.

Jiang Lai had already thought of all the contents of the contract in his mind. He used space magic to float a screen in mid-air, controlled the magic power to depict the words, and presented a perfect contract.

"Please read it again." Jiang Lai said calmly, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If there are no problems, we will sign the agreement and the cooperation will be established."

This formed a temporary united front.

——

These behind-the-scenes talks proceeded covertly and steadily. Except for a few insiders who had been discussed in advance by Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru, all others knew was the superficial appearance.

That is what is written on the record sheet of major events in the world of magic:

[On ■ day, ■ month, ■ year, it was confirmed that Yuji Itadori, the container of Ryomen Sukuna, was executed in the curse sealing room of the Tokyo High-rise Resident.

Executor: Gojo Satoru

Supporter: Yuta Otsutsukoshi

Supervisor: A specially dispatched person from the top level of the magic arts—the current head of the Kamo family, Kamo Yoshiyama]

[On the same day, Yuji Itadori, the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, was confirmed dead. ]

[On the same day, an unexpected change occurred that was not in line with the expectation. The special grade cursed spirit Ryomen Sukuna did not perish with the container and appeared in the curse seal room.

Special grade sorcerer Gojo Satoru, special grade sorcerer Otsutsuka Yuta, and first grade sorcerer Kamo Yoshiyama came to fight, and the sorcery sealing room and the high-level station in Tokyo were destroyed on a large scale by the curse power. 】

[The special grade cursed spirit Ryoumen Sukuna killed Kamo Yoshizan and then retreated and disappeared. Currently, the danger alert in the curse world has been raised to the highest level. 】

【……】

While the upper echelons of the magic world were in chaos, a TV in the basement of a private house somewhere in Tokyo was playing a nostalgic series of classic movies.

Yuji Itadori, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, had just recovered from the shock of "not dying" and listened to Xiang's account of what happened.

He stuffed a mouthful of potato chips into his mouth to suppress his surprise, and glanced at the brown-haired boy who was happily swinging his legs beside him.

"I think I understand... Uh, then why is Watanabe-san here?"

"Of course it's special training." Little Sheep Jiang Lai blinked briskly, "I'll ask Brother Zhang Xiang to train the elves, and by the way, I'll teach you something too."

"Ah? You teach me?" Yuji Itadori was a little dazed.

What surprised him even more was that Wang Xiang nodded and said, "I had a brief contact with Watanabe-kun a few days ago. His strength is similar to mine. As a human sorcerer, Watanabe-kun is more suitable to teach you than me."

Yuji Itadori looked at the brown-haired boy who still had a little baby fat on his cheeks, and his mind went blank.

...If I remember correctly, Watanabe-kun should have just come into contact with the world of curses? How come he is already a special level? ! !
