Chapter 253 Meeting with Brain Flower

The entire city of Kyoto is covered in vegetation that resembles a prehistoric tropical rain forest. The plants and vines lying all over the ground are like the city’s exposed blood vessels, with endless fluids flowing through them.

Jiang Lai started the ritual. He did not move very fast. In order to better observe the surrounding environment, he only used part of his magic power to accelerate.

As for the remaining space codes, some are used to stay alert and guard around, while others are used to diverge and explore, trying to get a glimpse of the weirdness of this town.

After the giant flower bud in the center of the city began to bloom, the cursed energy aura in the entire Kyoto city became weaker than before - this contrast was worth mentioning compared to when they first stepped into this place.

In other words, the blooming of this giant flower bud does consume magical energy, and the magical energy it currently consumes is most likely from Kyoto.

Dead objects like the earth, buildings, and trees have no magical powers. Only humans and cursed spirits have magical powers.

Then it was clear what the source of the cursed energy that was constantly flowing through the vines at the scene was. It was also clear where the humans and cursed spirits that disappeared from Kyoto City were sent to.

Information in his mind kept connecting, and Jiang Lai felt that his guess was getting closer to the truth.

He felt a little creepy - no matter how Brain Flower did all this, it was clear from this point alone that Brain Flower was an extremely calm and crazy extremist.

He is calm, calm in that he can patiently plan for a thousand years. He is crazy, crazy in that he can treat everything in the world as worthless in order to implement his plan.

Kyoto City has more sorcerers than other cities due to the presence of the Yusan Family Headquarters and the Kyoto Jujutsu High School, and the total amount of sorcerers is naturally much higher than other places. This is probably why Brain Flower chose this place as its core base.

Given his brainy personality, he must have made careful plans before implementing his plans. The formation or rules of Kyoto town might not have been formed in one day, but rather were the result of accumulation day after day, layer by layer.

——That’s why the final explosion left everyone with no time to react.

Not to mention that the regulatory agency has spies in the three families, and the layout of the plan can go deeper into these sorcerer families. Those who are short-sighted and only pursue their own interests may be sold by the brain flower and help count the money until the last moment.

Jiang Lai carefully sorted out the clues in his mind.

By the way, in the world of the Tower of Crossroads, Gojo Satoru subconsciously chose to destroy Kyoto City. Was it because he had already sensed it?

Although Gojo Satoru cannot see through the deep hidden conspiracy of Naohua, the blessing of the six eyes allows him to instinctively sense the dark clouds lurking in Kyoto City.

Jiang Lai still remembered these tiny details, so after receiving the analysis pictures from Yoshino Junpei, he chose to go to Kyoto without hesitation - because this is the center of all doubts.

At present, the situation in Kyoto is more dire than promising... but there is still hope.

Because Jiang Lai is here.

Although he no longer possesses the magnificent and powerful power to reverse the situation as he did a thousand years ago, it doesn't matter. He doesn't have to exhaust his own strength.

You know, he and Gojo Satoru explored the domain combination [Infinite Thousand Years Yao] in the world of the [Fork in the Road] Tower.

The combined power of the two is enough to reverse the decline of Kyoto City and create incredible miracles.

However, the premise of all this is that we still have to solve the problem of brain flower first. Otherwise, if the noose gets in the way, the situation will become complicated.

As he pondered in his heart, Jiang Lai looked up at the giant flower bud in the sky.

At this moment, he had already arrived below the flower bud. Looking up from the bottom, he felt an even more oppressive feeling of a huge object hanging in the air.

There is a difference between viewing a huge object from a distance and approaching it from close up. From a close distance, a huge object will bring a more transcendent and shocking power than from a distance.

Under such a giant, even the tallest and strongest human being would be as small as a grain of sand.

The deep rose-colored bud looked like a suspended space battleship, blocking out the sunlight, casting shadows, and tearing apart the sky hanging overhead.

The giant flower bud is supported by thick vines. The rough surface of these vines is covered with hair and lines, and the outer shell looks extremely hard.

Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, looked at the giant flower bud above his head, and thought about how to get up.

The space ritual codes can directly lay out air stairs. These winding vines can also be a way to ascend, just like the vines described in the legend. You only need to simply attach magical power to them, without having to create stairs out of thin air.

But Jiang Lai finally chose the former, even though it would consume more cursed energy.

Although these vines don't look dangerous, you should be more cautious in this environment. Just in case, it's better to choose a safer approach.

Jiang Lai looked up at the sky, his brown eyes bright and sharp. He held the magic code in his hand and flicked his fingers lightly, creating a long spiral staircase in front of his eyes.

The breeze brushed across his face, blowing up the hair by his ears. Jiang Lai looked extremely calm as he walked up the spiral path he had built, level by level.

The closer the distance, the more you can feel the cursed power vibrating in the air. As an [existence], Jiang Lai's five senses have always been superior to ordinary people.

The outermost petals of the giant crimson rose bud have already opened halfway, and are covered with mysterious patterns, as if engraved with countless incomprehensible letters and symbols.

I don’t know if it’s the effect of sunlight or its own characteristics, but the lines seem to be flickering in light.

Jiang Lai climbed to the top of the air stairs and stood in front of the giant flower bud that looked like an alien warship.

His body was not even as big as the letters and runes engraved on the petals, but precisely because of this, he was able to pass through the gaps between the petals.

This flower is blooming, and the gaps between the petals are like cracks. Through these narrow gaps, you can glimpse a different scene inside.

The inside does not look like a normal flower structure, but rather a space with a unique shape.

Jiang Lai caught a glimpse of a straight road and walls inside, which looked like a secret base.

He jumped into the crack, and the light and shadow flickered before his eyes, making him feel dizzy.

Jiang Lai closed his eyes briefly, released his magical power to sense the environment, and slowly opened his eyes the moment he landed, allowing his pupils to adapt to the light inside.

The interior of the giant bud was dim, and except for the dazzling beams of light that came through the blooming cracks, everything else was very dark.

But it was only gray, not dark, because the letters and symbols carved on the walls on both sides of the road were flashing a faint light.

These letters match the same language as on the petals, but they are still illegible. It is not any language that exists in the world.

Jiang Lai was surrounded by space magic, and he looked forward. The road under his feet was clean and straight, extending all the way to the end of his sight.

The bright lights on both sides were like dim candles in a tunnel, illuminating a small area.

This should be the core, Jiang Lai thought. The brain is probably here.

He walked along this road, and at the end there were several forks in the road. It was no longer a straight road, but a chaotic road with ups and downs, like a maze of intersecting pipes.

"..." Jiang Lai stood in front of these forks in the road and paused slightly.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary base, but I didn't expect the structure to be so complicated.

Jiang Lai was not in a hurry to choose the way forward. Being in a strange place, he had to be cautious.

He looked ahead, staring at the overlapping roads for a while, then took a few steps back and looked back at the straight road he had just walked on.

On both sides of this straight road were unknown symbols and letters that glowed faintly. Jiang Lai walked to the side and his eyes fell on those unknown words.

Jiang Lai did not know the writing systems of all countries, but he intuitively felt that these alphabetic symbols did not belong to the history of any country.

These strange symbols flickered with a faint light, reflected in Jiang Lai's brown eyes, like gentle flames.

For some reason, perhaps because he had been staring at them for too long, Jiang Lai began to feel that these letters and symbols were somewhat familiar.

They seem to have life, carrying mysterious and charming words, penetrating all obstacles and awakening the throbbing of the soul.

[source]……

Jiang Lai subconsciously thought of the name of the head of the family. He remembered the voice of [Source], which was also an unknown language.

The Regulatory Commission has collected a lot of [Source] fragments. Could it be that they did not use all of them to supply the Undead Contract, but instead kept a part of them for use in the current formation?

Jiang Lai's heart sank, and at the same time he was burning with anger. He certainly didn't want to see his conceptual family being used like this.

Whether it is [Birth] or [Source], or the good side of [Death], or even the evil side of [Death] Ryomen Sukuna...

Even though he and his stinky little brother have a lot of conflicts, it's their business and it's not up to Naohua to get involved.

But there is another possibility - these characters exist even older than [Source]. And [Source] is the language learned from an even older one.

Perhaps Brainflower had some kind of opportunity that allowed him to glimpse the secrets of heaven, thus knowing what "existence" is and being able to start laying out the plan thousands of years ago.

Anyway... they are about to meet.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then stared at the words on the wall more seriously.

Those strange, faintly glowing letters and symbols still cannot be accurately identified, but there seems to be some kind of guidance that outlines the right path among the intersecting roads.

——They cannot be understood, but they have their own life and will convey the meaning they want to convey in a special way.

"..." Jiang Lai lightly brushed the dent on the wall with his fingertips, then stood up straight after calming down.

He came to a fork in the road again. But this time, Jiang Lai did not hesitate.

He chose an inconspicuous road and walked forward steadily and firmly according to the guidance received by his soul.

The interlaced and overlapping roads make the space seem a bit closed, and the gloomy environment brings a depressing atmosphere.

Jiang Lai rubbed the cursed power with his fingertips, and in this strange environment, his cursed power emitted a soft white light.

The road finally came to an end. After walking for a distance, Jiang Lai passed through the maze of overlapping forks and came to a one-way street again.

This time, the one-way street no longer had glowing words engraved on both sides, but was covered with tiny vines with purple diamond-shaped and round leaves hanging on them.

Jiang Lai glanced at the leaves. They looked a bit like passes and game coins for the Curse Spirit Dinner at that time.

However, he did not waste too much time here, but continued to move forward until he came to an open space inside the road.

This is like the pistil, surrounded by tiny stamens that grow and emit fragrance and are equally tall.

In the middle, there is a figure of a long-haired woman sitting. She is the character who once appeared in the comics, who took away the young boy, and was called "Mom" by Geto.

As if she had sensed Jiang Lai's arrival, she turned her body away, with an invisible seam on her forehead.

——It’s the noose!
