Chapter 29 High School Five and Jie
Jiang Lai's equipment basically remained the same, except for the side cloth bag he bought at the last fireworks show.
Although I don't know how much time has passed, the side cloth bag he is wearing still looks like it was just bought, clean and beautiful.
He looked around, and this seemed to be the interior of a tall abandoned building. The gray wall peeled off, leaving patches of mottled marks, the ground was covered with a thin layer of light gray, and the pale golden sunlight passed through the empty windows and stopped in front of the tip of his shoes.
Jiang Lai: “…”
What kind of start is this, what place is this.
He narrowed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and vaguely sensed the fluctuations of cursed power in the air - the threat of the curse was a bit far away, probably somewhere above.
There might be a cursed spirit in this building, Jiang Lai thought to himself.
But he did not set out to look for the cursed spirit. Instead, he stood there calmly and took out his cell phone.
Jiang Lai: Why should I take the initiative to find the curse spirit? I should take a break first and wait for the curse spirit to come and find me.jpg
I won't move unless the enemy does. Jiang Lai thought it would be better to check his phone here to understand the specific situation before stepping out of this deserted area.
However, he still carefully placed several trigger codes around him, just in case.
There is no countdown icon on the top of the phone. Maybe it's because there is still some time before the transfer, so it's not displayed?
He scrolled through the pages and confirmed that there was no countdown before opening the official website to check out the comic information.
The latest update of the comic "Yesterday and the Past" was the fireworks festival that Jiang Lai participated in last time. He clicked it and quickly browsed through it. The basic content was similar to what he and the young Gojo Satoru experienced.
Because it is a color comic and the background of the fireworks festival, the colors of these updates are particularly brilliant, beautiful and dreamy.
The overall painting filter still continues the warmth of this past chapter, with only one dim light and shadow - that is when the young boy Gojo Satoru asked, "Are you from the Supervisory Board?"
In the comic, a round of fireworks had just ended, and the light at the end of a relatively remote road was dim. An unknown [existence] with black hair and brown eyes stood at the junction of light and darkness, and the light from the bright lamps hanging on the street in the distance illuminated half of his profile.
Although it is still the same innocent smile as before, but with this kind of rendering, there is an inexplicable different atmosphere.
It is difficult to say at this moment what kind of emotions this situation brings to people.
Jiang Lai paused, but didn't have any special thoughts. He just sighed silently: After the Hell Filter got lost in time and space, has it finally found its way back? It's not easy! (bushi)
Just reading the comics doesn't give you much information, after all, these are things I have experienced personally.
Therefore, Jiang Lai opened a new series of forums for brainstorming, intending to see if there were any analytical experts.
[Ohh! This [Yesterday and the Past] chapter is indeed a fragmentary narration! Woohoo, these recent chapters are so beautiful, so beautiful that I'm taking screenshots like crazy. Lailai and the five young men are so beautiful, as gentle as the wind... It makes me wonder if what I opened is the legendary curse.]
[Fuck, this classification is too real. It makes me laugh to death.]
To be honest, it has been such a warm feeling recently. Both the style and the content are very healing. For a moment I thought I was watching "Natsume's Book of Friends".
I suggest Comrade One-Eyed Cat to absorb more of the essence of healing anime. For the past chapter, check out "Gojou's Book of Friends", and for the main story, check out "Itadori no Yuji: The Book of Friends". I love watching it. I have been so hurt by the original work that I only want to watch healing anime (tears)]
[jjxx: I understand. This makes everyone cry]
[Hahahaha, danger! Very dangerous! To be honest, I also feel a little uneasy. I always feel that the warmth in the beginning is all for the sword in the end. Something must have happened, otherwise why would Lai in the main story be drawn in that style...]
[Gam, don't use knives, wuwuwu, I really like how they get along! Why do you have to torture them——]
[Well, to be honest, I think maybe Gojo Rai was originally the character in the main story? Did you notice that when the five boys asked the question of the supervisory board in the manga, the atmosphere on Rai's side was obviously wrong!!]
[…I also think that Lai Shen should know about the regulatory committee. Was he asking those questions on purpose?]
[It seems that Rai Shen knows a lot. He also mentioned the stitching thread in his conversation, which means he should know about the existence of the noose. It is just unclear how much he knows and what his attitude is towards it.]
[Also, when Gojo Satoru mentioned the person in his family whose appearance did not change due to the technique, Raishin's expression seemed to be in thought. It feels like that person is not simple either. Although he has not appeared clearly yet, it should be a foreshadowing.]
[Ah? No way? ? There really isn't a conspiracy or something? ? If Lai Shen was pretending and deliberately contacted Xiao Wu, I will never believe in father-son relationships again, wuwuwu!! QAQ]
【hhh what the hell is this father-son relationship upstairs!!】
【Everyone, relax. We have to believe in the father-son love that came from heaven (dog head). Maybe it was to cooperate with Five that Lai Shen pretended to be a bit more sinister so that it would be easier to infiltrate the villains, hahaha! 】
[Don't worry, everyone. In the episode "The Curse", aren't the decent protagonists more villainous than the villains in their daily lives? The underworld of Raishin in the main story further proves his decent identity! (Hand gesture)]
【Family, someone has drawn a handwritten copy of yesterday's episode! Hurry up! It's absolutely beautiful! 】
Jiang Lai roughly browsed the content of the forum and found that most of the plot discussions were similar to what he had guessed at the time.
In addition to analyzing the Supervisory Committee, everyone also focused on analyzing the conditions for allowing the three elders to participate.
In addition, apparently, they also noticed the elder member mentioned by Gojo Satoru who was younger than the others, but because there was no more information, they could not make a specific analysis.
By the way, the name Rai Shen…has the pronoun changed to “He”, and the nickname has changed to Rai Shen again?
Jiang Lai was silent for two seconds. He thought that in addition to writing scientific autobiographical novels, he could also write a history of human evolution, or a manual on becoming an immortal. It would surely sell well.
By the way, when I return to the world of science or the three-dimensional world, I will open another book about the story of the cursed world! It must be very exciting too.
His thoughts wandered as he opened the group chat again.
In the group files, various intelligence analyzes are clearly stored by category, making it convenient for Jiang Lai to search.
Jiang Lai smiled and shared in the group the photos he had taken of beautiful fireworks and lively temple fairs, as well as some close-up photos of the speechless expression of the young Gojo Satoru.
[#大猫的猫whisker#: Summer fireworks show? It feels like we are switching between seasons. It's still winter here (^^)]
[#与在 working的 Mirror Mirror#: It is said that the street next to the Rice Flower Park will also organize a winter fireworks festival in a few days. I will send you some photos when the time comes so that you can enjoy it together.]
[#Good Luck Lai Lin#: Okay, I'll be looking forward to it then (curly dog combing its hair.gif)]
[#秋名山车神#: Oh, the boy in the last few pictures is Gojo Satoru? He's really cute.
[#Good Luck Lai Lin#: Yes! It looks like a beautiful cat with blue eyes! It's rare to see such a genuine speechless expression, so I quickly took a picture of it]
[#Seriously doing scientific research Zhao#: This photo is a good reference. I drew a few of his emoticons based on it. Then I added a few of your emoticons to increase the activity of the tag]
[#Good Luck Comes#: ...emoticon pack?]
[#Seriously doing scientific research Zhao#: Don't worry, Brother Jiang Lai, I've been researching for a long time and will definitely make an emoticon package that will spread widely. I will definitely draw the essence of it that will make people share and forward it]
Jiang Lai's tactics retreat: What kind of essence is this? Is it the essence that the ghost creators share and forward?
However, it doesn't seem good to discourage the opponent's enthusiasm, after all, Kurosawa Akira has been studying it for so long... and emoticons do seem to help spread the word.
Jiang Lai paused and replied in the group:
[#Good Luck Lai Lin#: Okay, I'll be looking forward to it then - do you need my photo reference?]
[#Serious researcher Zhao#: No, I'm familiar with it.]
When Jiang Lai saw this sentence, he subconsciously recalled his facial expressions in daily life - then he realized that Xiao Zhao should be more familiar with his face, and there were photos of him there.
When he was about to reply with an emoticon, his sharp nerves sensed that something was approaching rapidly, and at the same time, those codes were also triggered, and they fed back information reminders to Jiang Lai like alarm bells!
A black figure suddenly jumped into the empty window of the abandoned building. A young man with a bun and strange bangs jumped in quickly and nimbly, with cursed spirits hanging around him and several bandages wrapped around his forehead.
It's Geto! Jiang Lai recognized him immediately, and then his eyes fixed. But what is this bandage...?
When he saw Jiang Lai holding a cell phone inside, he was obviously stunned, and then quickly shouted outside: "Hey, wait, Wu - there's someone else inside -"
Before he could finish his words, a huge "bang" was heard from overhead, and the whole building began to shake violently, with rubble and debris falling from above.
Before Jiang Lai could open his own spell barrier, a dragon-shaped cursed spirit had already risen up to block the collapsing building debris - it was the cursed spirit summoned by Maru-head Xia Yujie.
As the smoke and dust filled the air, a loud and arrogant voice came from above: "What did you just say, Jay? I have already destroyed the cursed spirit with one attack."
"There are still people here!" Xia Yujie retracted the cursed spirit that blocked his view and looked up. "I just said, wait until I finish checking the interior of the building, and then it won't be too late to attack."
"I've already checked with my six eyes, there's no one inside—" the voice came from far away in the sky.
Suspended above his head was a white-haired man wearing a pure black Curse High uniform and looking quite dashing. He descended lightly from above, raised his eyebrows, and took off his sunglasses carelessly, revealing his bright and clear eyes.
Gojo Satoru glanced at Jiang Lai in front of him, then pinched Sunglasses' leg with one hand, patted his friend's shoulder with the other hand, and said in a long tone:
"Where is the human here, Jie? The one in front of you is a monster, a monster, an evil old monster who specializes in deceiving children."
"Hey, Wu, don't talk like that." Xia Yujie showed a half-helpless smile, then turned to Jiang Lai in front of him, "I'm sorry, and don't be afraid, the current situation..."
Jiang Lai smiled and said, "It's okay. I know how to exorcise the cursed spirit." Then he turned to Gojo Satoru and said, "You were actually quite cute when you were little."
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru snorted. "Last time I asked you a question, you didn't answer it. But in the end you didn't even say hello, just ate, drank and had fun before you left."
"I'm too busy saving the world, you have to understand." Jiang Lai blinked, "Actually, I'm very serious about it. Look, I still have the side cloth bag you gave me."
After listening to these exchanges, Xia Yujie reacted and recalled, "Oh... I remember now, is this the "good friend" that you mentioned when we were chatting before?"
"When did I say that?" Gojo Satoru immediately widened his beautiful blue eyes, "I didn't say that word, did I?"
"But it sounds like they are good friends." Xiayou smiled foxy and continued to say to Jiang Lai, "Wu is arrogant and tough, but he still treats you as a friend. He told us the story before."
"Hey-Jack-"
"Then I am really touched." Jiang Lai smiled.
"But Wu didn't tell you your name," the ball-headed boy said politely, "Nice to meet you. I'm Geto. Please give me your guidance."
"It's our first meeting." Jiang Lai said, "No need for honorifics. You can call me Lai or Gojo Lai, either is fine."
"Or?" Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment.
"That is to say, it's not his real name." Gojo Satoru said lazily, "When I met him at the shrine, I initially thought he was from the Gojo family, so I added the last name Gojo - but then he asked me how old I was, and I knew he wasn't."
"Maybe it's used as an alias for monsters in the human world." Gojo Satoru snorted, "It makes it easier to blend into the crowd." He played with the sunglasses in his hands for a while, then put them back on.
"Wu, stop saying that. Be respectful to your elders," Xia Yujie reminded.
"Ah - Jay, I can't hear you clearly -" Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sky. After noticing a rectangular block approaching, he suddenly jumped to the side to avoid it. "What are you doing? I told you my head is very precious!!"
"When did I say I was going to knock you on the head?" Jiang Lai smiled, and his fingertips manipulated the mobile phone (an antique book) to draw a circle in the air leisurely, and then returned to his hand, "I'm just walking around with the book."
"…Does the book still need to be taken for a walk?"
"Of course, it is spiritual." Jiang Lai nodded and replied, "In a sense, it is more spiritual than me." Although it sounds like nonsense, it is actually the truth.
Gojo Satoru: “.”
Xia Yujie was a little surprised: "Satoru, you still want to hide? Aren't you being shameless?"
"That outrageous thing can break the limitless limit," Gojo Satoru spread his long legs and swayed back to where he came from, "It must be some special cursed tool."
Xia Yujie stared at Gojo Satoru for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled with narrowed eyes: "So you've been hit on the head before? It turns out that the genius six-eyes can also be hit on the head. I'll share this with Nozomi when I get back."
"Hey, Jie..." Gojo Satoru said in a long voice, and he jokingly punched him, "Let's fight!"
Jiang Lai smiled and watched the two people fighting without taking it seriously. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "By the way, you are here to exorcise the cursed spirits. Have you let them go?"
Geto Summer & Gojo Satoru (beady eyes): "...Huh? I seem to have forgotten."
Jiang Lai paused for a second: "It seems that there will be another pipeline explosion in the news today."
"But it's unlikely that the pipeline explosion damaged the upper part." Xia Yujie sighed, "The damage to the upper part is a bit difficult to explain. We can only help the supervisors and logistics to get here as soon as possible before the people gather around."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take care of it - you just go out first." Gojo Satoru waved his hand, signaling Xia Yujie and Jiang Lai to go outside.
"What are you going to do, Wu?" Xia Yujie frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I have enough experience!" Gojo Satoru raised his head. The bright sunlight shining from the sky illuminated the wanton smile on his face. "Leave it to me." He said confidently.
Later.
Under the gaze of Xia Yujie and Jiang Lai, there was another loud explosion, and the lower half of an abandoned building not far away collapsed!
Gojo Satoru came out happily: "Okay, I'll blow up the remaining half too!"
Xia Yujie: “…”
Jiang Lai (smiling): "It seems that it would take an explosion bigger than the pipeline explosion to leave such ruins."
The white-haired young man in front of him raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and threw a [Cang] backwards again - there was another earth-shaking earthquake, and a big hole appeared on the ground. The abandoned building that once stood here completely disappeared, leaving only debris on the ground.
"Okay, there are no broken walls anymore, it's clean." He clapped his hands in satisfaction, "How is it?"
Xia Yujie: “…”
Jiang Lai (smiles): "Yes, now we can consider the meteorite falling from the sky as a more reasonable reason."
"Okay, let's go back!" Gojo Satoru shook his finger with a cheerful tone.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Lai, his sunglasses sliding down his nose, revealing his stunning blue eyes. "Are you going to say hello and disappear this time? ... Or are you going back to the technical college with us?"
Jiang Lai glanced at his phone (book), there was no countdown on it, and it would probably take a while for the teleportation to happen. It would be best to find a place to stay at this time.
He blinked and smiled, "Can I go?"
"What's the matter? There are so many empty dormitories in the technical college." Gojo Satoru spread his hands casually, "I can just pick one out for you to live in. Or maybe you don't need it? Anyway, you exist."
"What I mean is, can outsiders come in?" Jiang Lai said.
"Guests can come in," Xia Yujie said gently, "as long as they report and record it, and pass through the barrier."
“Perhaps he can pass the barrier without reporting it.” Gojo Satoru thought, “[The existence] is neither a person nor a cursed spirit. It should be like air, sunlight, and wind. It should not be the party that is intercepted.”
Jiang Lai's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that Gojo Satoru's explanation was very reasonable.
Jiang Lai: Very good, I will use it to supplement the settings! .jpg
So he smiled just right, as a kind of affirmation.
"..." Xia Yujie was stunned for a second, "Is it so magical?"
"In fact, you can think of me as a deity." Jiang Lai blinked and said to the boy with a ball-shaped hair beside him, "Is this easier to understand?"
"It's a thousand-year-old demon—" Gojo Satoru said from the side.
"However, when I go to your school, I will naturally notify you in advance," Jiang Lai said, "On the one hand, it's out of courtesy, and on the other hand, it's also for your peace of mind - mainly to reassure your teachers."
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Yemo." Xia Yujie took out his cell phone and sent a message to the teacher. He also sent a message to the assistant supervisor to inform them of the current status of the building.
When he lowered his head, the strands of hair on one side slid down naturally, and the black hair formed a sharp contrast with the white bandage.
Jiang Lai's attention returned to the bandages wrapped around the opponent. He still remembered "Sugaru Jie" who came to the alley in the main story timeline to look for the liquid fox curse spirit.
The other party did not talk to him at the time, and there was a smile on his face that revealed no information. Only the white bandage wrapped around his forehead made Jiang Lai's heart fluctuate.
Jiang Lai had read the official book of the original work, and he knew that due to the restraints, Brain Flower could not heal the suture scars on the top of his head.
But the one-eyed cat did not mention whether it can be covered. In the original book, the hair did not cover the seam, probably because the mark on the forehead cannot be completely covered with hair, and using a bandage to wrap it all the time is also suspicious and essentially useless.
(Of course, another possibility is that the one-eyed cat wanted to make it easier for readers to recognize it).
In short, when Jiang Lai met "Suguru Jie" at that time, he immediately began to doubt whether it was true or not.
But at this moment, after a brief interaction, Jiang Lai felt that the person in front of him should not be a fool, but the real Geto Suguru from his high school days.
The bandage was not added later. In the new series, Geto used it to cover his forehead during his high school years. But why? What was underneath the bandage?
As if he noticed Jiang Lai's gaze, Xia Youjie raised his head after sending the message, turned his gaze, and asked warmly, "What's wrong?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lai paused, not knowing how to start the question.
Gojo Satoru next to him walked over in a few steps, grinning and joking: "What are you doing, Mr. Monster? Why are you always staring at Jie? But Jie is indeed quite good-looking. Of course, I am more handsome than him, at least my eyes are bigger——"
Xia Youjie: "...Enlightenment."
Jiang Lai frowned for a moment after being interrupted by Gojo Satoru, but then he regained his composure and replied with a smile, "It's hard to judge their appearances, but Jie-kun's personality is definitely better."
"Hey, what is that——"
"Thank you." Xia Yujie smiled, then pointed to his forehead, "Well... is that what you wanted to ask just now?"
