Chapter 256 Jiang Lai: Fight Lai, Fight
Please let me rule. Jiang Lai silently thought to himself, his eyes raised, but his emotions remained calm.
He once served as a hidden boss and became a leader, but he did so in order to better achieve the happy ending rather than for his own desire to rule.
Rather than trying to rule the world, Jiang Lai prefers to stay in his own little corner, with the friends he cares about.
At this moment, Gojo Kyufengin's pious attitude showed that he hoped Jiang Lai would hold the power and authority, stand above everyone else, become the supreme ruler and an irresistible god - this was certainly not what Jiang Lai liked.
Jiang Lai prefers to blend in with the crowd rather than being alone. Even though he has become an "existence" in the world of magic, he still feels that he is just one of the millions of ordinary people, one of the stars in the vast universe.
What Gojo Kyukazein did was actually an act of self-imposition.
He unilaterally believed that Jiang Lai should do this, should use his own advantages to rule the world, and should use his god-like power to make rules - in essence, his starting point was still himself.
Jiang Lai saw through everything clearly, so he would not be confused by the other party's apparent humility.
Similarly, Naohua's false friendliness was just to realize her own plan, and that layer of intimacy was just a facade. Jiang Lai would not be fooled by Naohua.
Naohua and Gojo Kyukazein, who seem to be faction enemies, actually have the same intention - they both want to use Jiang Lai to achieve their own goals.
Jiang Lai was pondering in his mind, his eyes fell on the position vacated by Naohua and pointed to by Gojo Jiufengyuan.
——In the center surrounded by stamens, the light from above shines down, illuminating the glass-like ground.
After Brain Flower's figure moved away, the light shone through the glass floor onto the translucent cocoon below, and the edge of the cocoon reflected the bright light.
"Please." Gojo Hisafuuin still maintained a humble attitude of invitation. He half-bent his knees, his beautiful brows relaxed.
Naohua said nothing, she just kept smiling on the surface, staring at Jiang Lai. She didn't seem to want to give up her position, as if she was giving up part of her power.
It seems that there is something magical about that place. Jiang Lai's mind was full of thoughts.
The center of the formation is either a vacuum of magical energy or a concentrated area of magical energy. Judging from Brain's reaction, it's probably the latter.
Although Naohua is nominally the initiator of the Kyoto City Formation, this does not mean that she has the highest authority. Jiang Lai deduced that the formation is objective, it has no specific owner, and it just runs smoothly according to the rules.
However, facing the center of the pistil projected by the bright beam of light, Jiang Lai did not intend to walk directly there.
Under the gazes of Naohua and Gojo Hisafuuin, it was difficult for him to do anything on the spot.
After all, he was not familiar with this formation. What if he accidentally hurt Riko Amauchi who was in the translucent cocoon?
So for now, the best solution is to find a way to deal with Naohua and Gojo Kyukazein first... or at least one of them.
Abnormal Candy Crush. This word popped up in Jiang Lai's mind again. He needed to further intensify the conflict between the two.
Or at least, make their progress not so smooth - whether it is Brainflower or Gojo Hisakazuin's expectations, they must be avoided in some way and turned into a situation under their control.
Thinking this in his heart, Jiang Lai's fingers curled slightly, his brown eyes stared calmly ahead, facing Gojo Jiufengyuan's pious invitation, he hesitated for a moment, and replied: "No."
The smile on Gojo Hisafuin's face froze for a moment: "Sorry, sir, what did you say?"
"I say, no," Jiang Lai said, "I don't want to rule. I don't have that idea."
Gojo Kyufuin showed an unexpected look on his face. The corners of his narrow light blue eyes were raised, and he asked in confusion, "You have the power and the opportunity now, why don't you accept the invitation?"
"Do I have to accept the invitation? That doesn't make sense. I don't want to get involved any more."
Jiang Lai's expression showed some weariness of the world. He glanced at the brain standing beside him and said, "Let's leave this part to her. Since she is ready, we just need to wait for the moment of witnessing."
Hearing this, Naohua was slightly startled, and then the smile on the corner of his lips deepened, and his expression revealed tenderness: "My friend, I know... you have always supported me. From the past to now."
Here, Brain Flower did not forget to continue confusing the facts and instilling her own false information. She knew how to take advantage of Jiang Lai's fluctuating and vague memory.
She was very skilled in using this technique, but the Jiang Lai in front of her did not really lose his memory.
Because of the folding fan he got from his [birthplace], Gojo Kyufuin recognized Jiang Lai and his vest early on, so he knew the truth that Jiang Lai did not lose his memory.
Facing this scene, he couldn't help being confused for a moment.
Jiang Lai took advantage of the moment when Naohua was in a good mood and looked at Gojo Jiufengyuan implicitly for a moment, and unconsciously expressed with his lips: deceived, and then get rid of her first.
Faced with this seemingly condescending statement, Gojo Hisafune actually relaxed his frown.
——Jiang Lai naturally expressed his views separately on purpose.
He knew that in Gojo Hisakazuin's mind, the ideal god should be able to give orders from a high position like this.
Gojo Kyufuin knows that he has not truly lost his memory, and he also knows that he is still connected to Gojo Satoru.
If he really showed his trust in Naohua, he would definitely reveal the truth, which would make Naohua immediately aware of the reversal of the situation.
The brain must be the one who is most familiar with the formation, and who knows what extreme measures he might take. Therefore, it is best to continue to paralyze the opponent.
Therefore, Jiang Lai pretended to follow Naohua and planned to spy on his next move, while at the same time he implicitly signaled Gojo Jiufengyuan to cooperate with him to get rid of Naohua.
At present, Gojo Jiufengyuan is an elegant and naughty mad dog that can be tied up, while Naohua is a dark and venomous snake that moves step by step and cannot be pulled down.
After a comprehensive comparison, if you have to get rid of one first, it is naturally better to get rid of the brain first.
Jiang Lai weighed it this way.
After receiving Jiang Lai's hint, Gojo Jiufengyuan's originally confused mood returned to calm and joyful.
Of course, Gojo Hisakazuin was very good at acting, so it only took her a moment to adjust her composure. She did not reveal her previous change of emotions, but continued to look puzzled and frowned in denial.
"No! You are fully capable of creating everything independently... and that person is just a dirty reformist." Gojo Hisakazu's voice was filled with contempt. "She has no determination and strength to change everything. She can only make changes based on the old foundation."
These words are not just a coordinated performance, but also carry Gojo Hisakazu's real emotions.
Ever since he discovered that Naohua was a reformist and couldn't even break through the rules of the four-sided tower defense, he began to despise Naohua deep in his heart.
Now, he just tore off the disguise of the second-in-command and directly exposed the true face of the brain flower: "You'd better stay away from her, sir. Even her body is a rotten, usurped corpse."
"..." Naohua looked a little gloomy.
"Whatever you say." Jiang Lai waved his hands, his expression unmoved. He raised his eyelids, "I don't care about these - now I just want to see her preparations."
After hearing this, Naohua was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward. She smiled, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes slightly gathered.
Nose, wearing this layer of skin, nodded and said, "Thank you for your continued trust - I am indeed ready."
She walked up to Jiang Lai and invited him softly, "Come on, my friend."
Jiang Lai turned slightly to the side and skillfully adjusted his posture so that his face was hidden in the shadows. He turned his back to Gojo Kyufuin and faced Naohua.
Just like the hint he had just given to Gojo Kyuumaein, this time, Jiang Lai revealed his cryptic hint to Naohua again.
Those brown eyes looked extremely solemn in the darkness, and he silently lip-read: We need to eliminate the interference.
——Although it was not stated explicitly, both of them knew that the disturbance here referred to the unexpected arrival of Gojo Kyukazein.
From Gojo Kyufuin's threatening actions just now, Jiang Lai saw that his technique had a clear interference with Naohua's plan.
Therefore, if there is a chance, Brain Flower will definitely want to eliminate the source of interference.
In Naohua's mind, Jiang Lai was in a state of amnesia at the moment. She believed that the black-haired young man would trust her "friend" who treated her politely and was well prepared more than the extreme faction Gojo Kyukazein who broke into the academy.
So after she noticed Jiang Lai's lip reading, although it was not obvious on her face, the smile at the corners of her eyes deepened.
Nosuo raised her hand to pull the long hair on her temples and put it behind her ears. At the same time, she silently responded: Of course.
Very good. Jiang Lai was also very satisfied with this. Now both sides agreed to cooperate with him to get rid of each other.
——Although Jiang Lai intends to get rid of Naohua first, this does not affect him from picking a wave of Naohua as well. It would be best if both of them could suffer losses.
Jiang Lai followed Naohua forward. He knew that there would be no accidents if he reached the center of the pistil now, because Naohua and Gojo Jiufengyuan both listed it as the second sequence.
Now, their priorities are no longer themselves but each other.
Then I can take advantage of this brief moment to go to the center of the pistil that casts light and shadow, and feel the fluctuations of the cursed power in that area up close.
——There might be a chance that it will be related to Amauchi Riko. Is Amauchi Riko asleep or awake? Can she get rid of the translucent cocoon on her own?
Was the Bluebird discovered and used by Brainiac, or was it just protecting Riko?
Jiang Lai pondered and thought, his expression extremely calm.
At the side, Gojo Kyukazein and Nozomi were also putting on a false front, secretly sharpening their blades for their inner interests.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and their hidden murderous intent wavered for a moment before they diverged.
And after their lines of sight shifted, Jiang Lai glanced at the central road, and walked towards the shining center as if nothing had happened.
Against the bright background, he gently blinked his brown eyes, and his thin eyelids were like butterfly wings flapping everything.
