Chapter 252 New 2 Changes
Fushiguro Shige's back disappeared in the light and shadow. Jiang Lai watched the soul leave. He knew that his friend had reached the other side.
There is still reluctance in the heart, but blessings occupy more. Jiang Lai sincerely hopes that the other party can find the person he is looking for on the other side and have a better life in the next life.
Come to think of it, Jiang Lai thought, the manga should have drawn the soul body at this point.
Souls have never appeared in comics before, but now the process of destroying the Tower of Nobility cannot be depicted without the participation of Fushiguro Shigeki, and it is likely that it will be drawn in the update of the new series of comics.
However, the manga will certainly not depict in detail the true involvement of Fushiguro Shigeki - for example, the details of his initial assistance to Jiang Lai in imitating the technique will be hidden, and at most it will only show that he and Jiang Lai met in a rental house and their relationship began from then on.
The reason why the soul was not drawn in the comics at first was because there was no setting for ghosts in the world of sorcery. But as the plot progressed, the ability to choose the "birth" of the soul appeared, and the soul setting was no longer an abrupt thing.
Therefore, the new series of comics can naturally depict Fushiguro Shigeki of the Zenin family this time.
By the way, this can also be linked to the previous foreshadowing:
The mark on Fushiguro Shige's hand, the protection of Fushiguro Megumi in the alley, and the revelation of the true purpose of the pagoda wood tablet - before this, comic audiences' speculations about the pagoda wood tablet tended to be based on "coordinate" reasoning.
And now, they will connect the origin and purpose of this pendant.
Initially, Jiang Lai brought it with him because it was part of the [Source]. Later, after experiencing the astral plasma incident, the soul of Fushiguro Megumi's father, Fushiguro Shiji, took up residence in it.
The soul is not included in the scope of the world's restart, and the locust wood tablet also remains at the starting point.
It was not until the winter of the second week that Jiang Lai returned to the rental house and connected to this loop line.
A certain mystery of time is hidden in it.
Jiang Lai recalled the past, bits and pieces of his memory floating before his eyes. His heart was extremely soft.
Next to him, Golden Stitch Naoya looked a little dazed, and it seemed that he had not fully reacted yet.
It was not until Mr. Oni's figure completely melted into the sunlight and there was nothing in front of him that he widened his eyes in shock: "What is this, Shinji-kun...!? What happened to him? Did he disappear??"
"It's not disappearing, it's just..." Jiang Lai paused, "I went back."
He returned to the final destination that he should have been heading to long ago. Isn't this a kind of homecoming?
Zenin Naoya actually knew that Fushiguro Jyouji had died a long time ago, but this was his first time seeing a soul and also his first time witnessing a soul leaving, so his reaction was inevitably a little slow.
Of course, he is not stupid. So after calming down, Naoya also guessed Fushiguro Shiji's situation by linking the conversation between the two just now.
Jinji's soul was trapped in the formation, and with the removal of the formation in the family, he regained his freedom to die.
So, I... I have helped my idol? Zenoin Naoya felt very complicated.
To be honest, he didn't want the other person to leave. But Jiner-kun's choice was definitely the right one.
Matsuda Jinpei noticed that Jiang Lai was in a slightly depressed mood. He walked to the silent black-haired young man, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, we are still with you."
Jiang Lai smiled softly, "I know." He exhaled and calmed down, "I just can't help feeling a little sad... but it's okay."
Stitch Naoya came over in two or three steps. He raised his eyebrow, breaking the quiet atmosphere, and muttered: "I always feel that I have lost a lot this time. I just came here to lead the way, but in the end-"
"How did you lose?" Matsuda Jinpei typed an emoji with a raised eyebrow on his electronic screen. "You are the head of the family, you have to remove the formation, and you have met the legendary Tianyou Jue Fushiguro Shi'er. How can I lose?"
Zenin Naoya was just trying to gain some advantage verbally, but if you really think about it, it seems that he is not at a disadvantage...
But he certainly didn't show it on his face. He still widened his eyes and raised his arrogant tone: "In short, everything is over. It's time to leave, right?"
Zenin Naoya's mission was completed, and the opponent with the appearance of Stitch's cursed skeleton could not help him much in the future, so he could be sent out of Kyoto City. Jiang Lai thought about it and said, "Of course, you can leave."
"Only myself?" Zenin Naoya waved his hands. "No! Kyoto City is not in a normal state right now. If I act alone in this situation... I don't have the ability to protect myself right now."
He raised his eyes. "You promised to keep me safe as much as possible. You won't ignore me, right?"
At the end, his voice was filled with doubt and some hidden nervousness. But on the surface, he still maintained his dignity and said, "Hey, you are a moral monster, right? Hiding the bow after the reels are exhausted, killing the donkey after the work is done, etc., does not fit your image."
"Hasn't the image of me in your mind always been vicious?" Jiang Lai joked, "How come I have become moral now?"
However, he didn't tease her too much. After all, now was not the time for jokes. So he quickly picked up the conversation.
"I know you make that assumption because you behave the way you do. But I'm different from you, so I don't have to make that assumption. Not everyone is like you."
Jiang Lai's words were blunt, sharp and calm, revealing the reason for the other party's inner anxiety.
"..." Zenin Naoya fell silent and kicked the stone under his feet.
"We'll take you out first." Jiang Lai said.
This is a decision made after objective consideration.
At this moment, the "Noble" Tower of the Zenin family has been cleared. If Zenin Naoya stays here, he will only cause trouble. He might even be used by Brainiac to activate the formation again. It is better to send him out of Kyoto as soon as possible.
There are scientific friends waiting outside Kyoto. After sending Zenin Naoya out, he can tell his scientific friends the intelligence here and let Naoya, who has returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, take a message to Gojo Satoru.
——Because the magic power and electrical signals in Kyoto City are blocked by the barrier, we cannot contact them via email.
Even though the cell phone shows that there is still a signal, it is hard to say whether other people's ordinary cell phones can receive the message, so it is more reliable to bring the message.
"Okay, let's go." Matsuda Jinpei said in a pinched tone, a pair of sunglasses appeared above the electronic screen, and he teased in a joking tone, "The new head of the family needs a personal bodyguard."
Zenin Naoya snorted, and his two big ears twitched. His eyes fell on Jiang Lai, waiting for the black-haired young man to speak.
"We'll go back the same way and send you out of Kyoto." Jiang Lai nodded, made the decision, and took a step forward.
And just when he took the first step, strange things happened again in Kyoto City!
The vines that had been quietly coiling suddenly began to wriggle and began to grow upwards again. The already cracked concrete floor became even more shattered, and the gravel on the ground shook with the movement.
The air was rippling with unknown magical power, and Jiang Lai could sense that the power flowing in the thick vines was becoming faster and faster, as if it was being pulled and further increased in power.
The giant bud on top of Kyoto Castle has made the slightest movement, and its wide petals are slowly opening outward. This one-of-a-kind giant flower is in the process of slowly blooming.
This process is extremely slow, with the petals peeling off frame by frame at a terrifyingly slow speed. But its blooming trend is irreversible, and its huge size and high position in the sky give people an endless sense of oppression.
The smallest one, Naoya Stitch, was shaken by the shock wave and staggered. He looked up in astonishment and asked, "What is this thing?!"
Jiang Lai also looked up, his eyes narrowed, his expression somewhat serious.
He had no idea what the vines spreading across Kyoto City and the giant flowers overhead were, but Jiang Lai could sense that there was a certain close logic behind these seemingly chaotic tropical rainforest scenes.
These are all part of a certain force, and together they form the core of the rules of the game in the Brain Flower Project.
That unique giant flower is at the end of all the vines, indicating that this is where power is supplied. Does this mean that the degree of blooming of this giant flower is related to the progress of the Brain Flower Project?
The more people fight, the more people evolve, the more power is transferred in the game world, and the more obvious the giant flowers bloom.
Once it has accumulated enough power, perhaps that will be the time for Brain to expand its plans beyond Japan.
Thoughts flowed through Jiang Lai's mind, and he quickly analyzed the most likely direction.
I just don't know if this sudden change at this moment is due to the start of the [New World Game], or if Brain noticed the destruction of the four-sided defense tower and manually accelerated the process.
...The other party shouldn't have noticed it so quickly, Jiang Lai thought to himself. Unless he happened to be "resurrecting" a core member.
Matsuda Jinpei locked his face on the giant flower and took a photo, zooming in on it frame by frame. The details revealed that there seemed to be something else in the gaps of the giant flower.
"There is space inside," Jinpei Matsuda judged.
Jiang Lai stared at the giant flower from afar, his brown eyes were deep and his expression was focused.
"I'll go take a look," Jiang Lai said, "while it's just starting to bloom."
"Where are we going? Hey, no way." Naoya, who looked like Stitch, showed hesitation. He hesitated but didn't dare to leave alone.
"You don't have to." Jiang Lai's eyes fell back on Zenin Naoya, "I just promised you that I would send you out and I will keep my promise."
He raised his eyes and looked at Jinpei Matsuda, the meaning was self-evident.
Jinpei Matsuda understood what Jiang Lai meant - Jiang Lai wanted him to send Zenin Naoya out, and he took advantage of the beginning of everything to investigate the location of the giant flower.
Rationally, Matsuda Jinpei knew this was appropriate, but emotionally, he didn't want Jiang Lai to go into danger alone.
Then, Jinpei Matsuda calmed down and fell silent.
"I need you." Jiang Lai blinked lightly, his brown eyes bright, "Please, I'll leave it to you to pass the message outside."
He spoke the words of the arrangement in such a dependent and trusting tone.
"..." Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath, cleared away those doubts and worries, and chose to trust his friend. He believed in his friend's strength and wisdom.
After so many events, he knew that Jiang Lai was no longer the lone ranger who would risk his life.
As a mature person, Jiang Lai has a careful plan for everything he does, and this action was a decision made after careful consideration.
"Okay." Matsuda Jinpei finally nodded, and he picked up Stitch Naoya from the ground with one hand, "I'll go out and send him off first and pass on the message, and I'll be back soon."
"Okay, see you later." Jiang Lai smiled and waved, saying goodbye to the other party temporarily.
After that, he turned his head and faced the giant flower high in the sky, his eyes focused.
Noose. Brains. Could he be in here?
