Chapter 267 Extra 1.4: Lai and Wu's trip to the Science World Comic Exhibition...

Even without cursed power, Ryomen Sukuna can still bring a great sense of oppression to people. He comes with great momentum, but his steps are not hurried. Each step is extremely heavy, as if stepping on people's hearts.

Jiang Lai still had his usual smile on his face, his lowered hands holding the thin book, his expression indifferent.

Facing this scene, a comic fan nearby shouted excitedly: "Wow! Is this a once-in-a-century reunion of brothers?! Can you give me a hug, cosplayers? I really want to take a happy family photo——"

Brothers meet, family reunion? Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He smiled and looked at Ryoumen Sukuna across from him: "Is that so? You took the initiative to come to me. Do you miss your brother?"

Ryoumen Sukuna made a disgusted expression. He sneered, his scarlet eyes narrowed, and his voice was low and sharp like a blade scraping against bone: "I really think about it day and night - how to cut you into pieces."

Such brutal words still caused the surrounding comic fans to burst into brief exclamations of excitement.

"Ah, the villain look is really good!! So despicable and hellish, but also so handsome!"

"What a serious cosplayer. It feels like the real Sukuna facing Raishin."

“Sukuna-sama!! Please don’t be so mean to your brother——Can you please help me fulfill my dream, I want to see brothers loving each other, please sir!!”

Ryoumen Sukuna is used to enjoying people's screams, but obviously not the kind of screams he's experiencing now.

Such screams filled with laughter and joy, accompanied by incomprehensible content, made Ryoumen Sukuna's already bad mood even more impatient.

He instinctively raised his arms and waved his hands with sharp movements, trying to swing out the cursed blade to split the noisy crowd nearby in two - but it was to no avail, and the people around him just burst into even louder screams of joy.

Ryomen Sukuna: “…”

Jiang Lai couldn't help laughing out loud, and then covered his lips with the book.

Gojo Satoru next to him also curled up the corners of his lips. He held the fan fiction book he had just bought and put it to his mouth, imitating Jiang Lai.

The two people's movements were very consistent, making the movements that originally had no special meaning become postures full of a certain irony.

If the gaze could be materialized, Ryoumen Sukuna's gaze would be so sharp that it could kill people. He raised the corners of his lips, showing his sharp fangs, and said, "You are the one behind this again?"

Again? Jiang Lai noticed this term. It took him two seconds to react and realize that Ryoumen Sukuna was probably questioning the blacklist.

During that time, Ryoumen Sukuna must have realized that he could not go to the surface world where humans lived. He must have known that the only one who could do this was Jiang Lai, the rule maker.

Facing Ryoumen Sukuna's sharp gaze, Jiang Lai smiled slightly: "If you are referring to the previous problem of the inner and outer world, then it is me who closed your access rights."

Ryoumen Sukuna snorted and laughed: "You are scared."

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "Those who do not abide by the order must be restrained. I can't let you travel freely and endanger the human beings in the surface world."

Ryoumen Sukuna laughed loudly, and said arrogantly: "I think you are afraid of me! If not, why don't we come to the other world and have a fight?"

He stared at Jiang Lai, "Because you don't have 100% confidence that you can beat me. But in a one-on-one situation, even if you lose, maybe I will remember you."

This was a provocation, but Jiang Lai would not fall for it. He was not obsessed with winning or losing.

Jiang Lai's actions were not for winning or losing, but for the best outcome. When it was not necessary, he would rather enjoy life leisurely than fight and kill.

"I don't care who is stronger between you and me. Since I have friends around me, why should I fight you one-on-one?" Jiang Lai blinked slightly, "In fact, friends are also part of strength."

At the end of the final battle, Jiang Lai did not embark on the path of becoming a god. He is still himself, and his strength has not recovered to the Heian-kyō era, nor has it been further weakened. He is just at the normal modern level. He is as strong as Sukuna.

What a pity. Jiang Lai thought to himself for a moment. If he really accepted the power of God, he would definitely be far superior to Sukuna, and it would be very easy to teach his stinky brother a lesson.

But he quickly retracted the idea. After all, it was meaningless to assume the impossible.

"You're afraid that I'll kill you, or kill someone close to you." Ryoumen Sukuna's voice was low and hoarse, with a kind of hidden threat of murder flowing through it. "You set the rules because you're afraid."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai stopped being silent. He finally responded, "I noticed that you are focusing on me every three sentences." He laughed lightly, "Are you obsessed with the people in the outer world, or me in the outer world - or is it actually yourself?"

"Huh?" Both Sukuna's eyebrows raised.

"Or to put it in a more understandable way," Jiang Lai said, "Do you eat humans because you like the taste of human flesh, or because human flesh has a higher magical power content than other animal meats, or do you simply enjoy the achievement of killing and enjoying the fruits of victory, showing intimidation and shocking arrogance to the world?"

"Are you angry about being blacklisted and isolated from the world because this operation prevents you from eating humans, or because it prevents you from 'settling accounts' with me, or simply because you feel that this restricts the freedom you think you should have?"

The series of questions brought a brief moment of silence to the place. The faces of the fans around him were also blank for a moment.

"…Is this the official supplementary plot?" someone discussed in a low voice.

Without caring whether there was a reply, Jiang Lai continued, "Or to put it more simply, is your instinct stronger than your reason, or is your reason stronger than your instinct?"

"If you eat and hurt people because of your instinct for this matter, then I can't let you go. But if it's for other reasons - I will consider a more appropriate solution."

After initially raising his eyebrows, Ryoumen Sukuna slowly pulled up the corners of his lips. He laughed wantonly, his voice reverberating and echoing: "You want to study me? I always do things as I please, no matter how you interpret it!"

Jiang Lai smiled: "Oh, okay. Then I will handle it as I please, no matter how you understand it."

These words responded to Sukuna's initial provocation from a distance.

Since Ryoumen Sukuna began by characterizing his blacklist system as being based on fear, Jiang Lai went around in circles, eliciting the other party's words, and returned the question with "Do whatever you want, no matter how you understand it."

Obviously, Jiang Lai had the upper hand in the conversation.

Some of the comic fans around were still confused, but some heard the excitement of the verbal exchange.

One of the guys wearing glasses couldn't help but shout out, "...Amazing! Are the cosplayers so good nowadays?" He took a few steps forward and said, "Are you guys really not an official surprise for the comic convention?"

Jiang Lai turned his head and smiled back: "Thank you. But we are just passing by here, not the official cosplayers."

Gojo Satoru listened to this with great interest. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled on his beautiful face: "Ah, after all, the thousand-year-old monster is better - Sukuna is still a younger brother after all... um, stinky younger brother."

He imitated Jiang Lai's tone and called him "stinky brother" in a more exaggerated tone. He laughed and made people hate him.

Ryomen Sukuna is not a man with a good temper, and he and Gojo Satoru have a grudge against each other. When he was in Yuji Itadori's body, he said that he would kill Gojo Satoru first when he got out.

At this moment, with cursed power unavailable, Ryomen Sukuna decisively chose physical techniques, launching a fierce horizontal kick and a punch that were packed with powerful force!

Gojo Satoru reacted quickly. He dodged the sweep and raised his hand to catch the punch. His long white hair flew up with the movement, and the sleeves of his kimono fluttered.

He wiped away the scattered hair with one hand, raised his blue eyes arrogantly, and looked into those scarlet eyes.

The two men started fighting back and forth, and the sound of wind whistling could be heard between the alternating punches and kicks.

The comic fans around were stunned at first, and some even cheered for this wonderful performance.

But soon, some people found that this fight was quite real...

Seeing this situation, the audience at the comic convention subconsciously took a step back, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while.

"Wait, are they really going to fight? Cosplayers, please don't be too emotional!!"

"It's not that serious, family members, but why does this beating look like a way to kill you?"

"Ah! Stop fighting! What should Lord Raishen do——"

"Don't be afraid." Jiang Lai replied calmly with a smile on his face. "Faced with this kind of situation, we must have the courage to take up the weapon of law. So has anyone called the police?"

Fans: “?”

Wait, so why did they really call the police? H-How do I explain this? The cosplayer of Ryomen Sukuna and the cosplayer of Gojo Satoru really got into a fight, and they had to use legal weapons to resolve the dispute over the spell!

——

The police arrived quickly, and some even knew the person.

Jinpei Matsuda is one of them. Recently, there have been overall personnel changes in the Metropolitan Police Department, so in addition to working in the Explosives Disposal Team, he will also help out in the Investigation Division 1.

But a fight between two people wouldn't warrant a search, right? And judging by the number of police cars, it seemed like a pretty big one.

Jiang Lai was a little surprised, and Matsuda Jinpei also seemed a little surprised - although Matsuda Jinpei knew that Jiang Lai would come today, he didn't expect to meet the long-haired Lai from a thousand years ago.

Jiang Lai first asked: "Your formation..."

"Ah, I just received a call from the police. A murder has occurred nearby." Matsuda Jinpei said, "There was even a bomb, but it has been defused by special personnel in advance. Now we are mainly here to deal with murder cases, and of course, we will also handle your alarm calls."

Jiang Lai: “…”

It’s worthy of being the world of science!

Another policeman came up from behind, holding a piece of paper in his hand. His eyes fell on Jiang Lai in front of him, as well as Ryoumen Sukuna and Gojo Satoru who were pulled apart, and he said sternly:

"Um... Sorry, three of you. From the surveillance footage, we found that all three of you passed by the murder scene at the time of the murder, so we need to conduct some investigation and verification with you."

Jiang Lai: “?”

No way, family, are we going to have to choose one of the three classics here?

But none of the three of them should be the murderer (Sukuna didn't have time to kill anyone, right?), so the deceased might have committed suicide or pretended to be murdered by someone else.

Jiang Lai's conscious scientific analysis.

No matter what, under this situation, neither Ryoumen Sukuna nor Gojo Satoru could fight.

Even though Ryoumen Sukuna was extremely reluctant and even resorted to violence, he had to be taken to the police station.

Because he attacked the police, he entered the small room alone.

The final investigation results were not surprising. The deceased committed suicide or was murdered by someone else. Jiang Lai, Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna were not the murderers.

Jiang Lai used hacking technology to forge a sophisticated identity certificate so that Ryoumen Sukuna would not become an unidentified illegal resident - not because he was kind, but because an unknown identity would be very troublesome and difficult to explain.

However, because Ryoumen Sukuna was looking for trouble, slandering the personal rights of passerby Jiang Lai, attacking ordinary citizen Gojo Satoru, resisting arrest and attacking the police, and seriously endangering social order, he still has to be detained and guarded for a period of time.

Jiang Lai considerately visited Ryomen Sukuna, hoping that he would seriously reflect on himself and reform himself.

Ryomen Sukuna: “…”

He had a fierce and murderous look on his face. This was his second time in prison after being released from Tiger Stick Prison.

After they went out, Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "What did he say?"

"He didn't say it." Jiang Lai said sincerely, "But I think he wanted to say - I'll kill you all when I get out."

"Is this true?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows. "Although there is no cursed power here, but that Sukuna guy..."

"I know he's in danger. Don't worry, we'll go back when he comes out. The time-space gate will send him back to the inner world."

"Oh——" Gojo Satoru said with a long sound, then tapped the palm of his right hand with his left hand, and said with interest, "I have an idea for my fan creation! I have decided to draw a modern story about the handsome detective Gojo Satoru and his good assistant Lai, catching the serial killer Sukuna and putting him in police station."

Jiang Lai: “?” What’s this story?

And wait, when did you suddenly decide to become a doujin author?
