Chapter 32 "If you have any questions, why not come to me."
Protected by the Tianyuan barrier, Jujutsu High School is very safe, and most people here know each other well. Probably because of this, people can enter and leave the dormitory freely without any restrictions.
The door here is a round-handled twist-knob type. There is no lock on the outside, but there is a lock inside that you can freely choose to close or not.
Jiang Laike analyzed it based on his learning habits: Without considering the use of magic power. Although it is a single-side lock from the inside, it can be operated from the gap in the door and can be opened very easily.
Gojo Satoru casually opened an empty room and showed Jiang Lai what was inside.
The dormitory here is very spacious, with each person having a large room. It is more like a high-end Japanese hotel than a traditional dormitory. Although the exterior is a classic single-story building, the interior furniture and equipment are very modern.
There is not only a shower room, but also a small kitchen. In addition, there is a huge bright floor-to-ceiling window next to the bed.
Outside the French windows is a forest of greenery, which looks quite beautiful. However, Jiang Lai always feels that this landscape is very much like the place where a ghost story takes place.
Amidst the thunder and lightning and heavy rain, a pair of hands were pressed against the huge French window facing the deep forest, and a pale figure was standing outside...
From this point of view, when Gojo Satoru came to find Geto in the middle of the night, it was really scary. Geto didn't hit Gojo Satoru's eye with a punch, which was considered rational and calm - maybe Geto did hit him, but Gojo Satoru had already used all his strength to defend himself.
Gojo Satoru, who led the way, pointed to one of the rooms and said, "This is mine." Then he pointed to the room next to it on the left and said, "That's Jie's." Finally, he asked, "You live in the room next to me on the right?"
In fact, it is not bad to live next to Gojo Satoru. However, at this moment, Jiang Lai still has the image of Geto Kagome's back in his mind.
The boy with the ball-shaped hair spoke in a very calm tone and walked away at a steady pace, but Jiang Laiyao looked at the figure and didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the other person had something on his mind.
I don't know what the other person is thinking, but maybe something unusual is happening. In order to better detect any changes, it is more convenient to be next to the person involved.
So Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and said, "I'll live in the room next to Jie."
Gojo Satoru: “Hey!! Why——”
"Well... although I don't need sleep in essence, I still want to have a good rest." Jiang Lai replied calmly, "In the room next to you, I'm worried that you can't sleep at night and do mischief. The midnight tattoo removal that Jie experienced was a bloody case."
"I'm not that kind of person! I got the tattoo out of pure curiosity. How could I do something weird every day?" Gojo Satoru refused to admit his image of being a troublemaker. "Don't worry about one or two small things."
Jiang Lai: "You're right. But distance creates beauty - I think it's more appropriate for me to be one room away from you."
Gojo Satoru: “…”
"Forget it, it's up to you. You can stay in any room." Gojo Satoru waved his hand to the side, but didn't insist on this matter. He just said jokingly, "Even if it's one room away, if I want to play a prank, you can't escape at all."
At the same time, the white-haired boy looked at the sign of the room and said, "Okay, this is the one. I'll talk to the management later and register to check in."
"Thank you, Wu." Jiang Lai smiled.
Jiang Lai doesn't need sleep in his current state, but having an independent space is naturally the best, and he is now pretending to be an ordinary human.
After choosing a room and tidying it up briefly, he sat on the edge of the bed and opened his cell phone to take a look.
The latest update has reached the chapters of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, starting from the abandoned building to the return to school.
Because he was also involved in this part, Jiang Lai, who knew what happened, read it quickly and just searched for any details that needed special attention.
In the manga, the pattern of Geto's forehead is not fully revealed - perhaps for the suspense effect.
Jiang Lai thought: Fortunately, I had already taken a complete photo of it at the scene, and now I have asked my scientific friends to help collect relevant clues.
In the second half of the conversation in the taxi, as Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru narrate, long half-length images of the three younger generations mentioned also appear on the screen.
Nanami Kento, with his blond hair and calm face, stands upright, and Haibara Yu, with his five fingers clasped together and looking forward, is cheerful and smiling. Both of them are basically the same as in the original work.
Jiang Lai focused his attention on the extra person, Yuukawa Kuriki.
The boy with light brown hair put his hands behind his back, his round reddish-brown eyes looked forward, and his slightly drooping eyes made him look innocent.
At first glance, he does look like a shy boy. However, based on this picture alone, you can't tell that he is "active". You may have to see him in person to feel it.
Through this color picture, combined with the previous words of Gojo and Getsu, Jiang Lai initially constructed the image of this new character in his mind.
The plot of the comic has progressed to the point where they enter the school and go to the dormitory, and see Nozomi from afar, but it has not yet reached the part where Geto Suguru receives the strange letter.
Jiang Lai originally wanted to use the comic's God's perspective to see if there was any description of the scene of Geto opening the letter, but now it seems that he will have to wait for the update to find out.
Next, he opened the forum, intending to take a quick look at whether the analyst had said anything, as well as the true bystander's clear view - the forum users' perception of the new characters that had just appeared.
[This time the timeline jumps to high school! My heart is suddenly lifted up... Ooooh, I always feel that this is the starting point of the knife (wiping tears). The previous warm and healing stories are all fake, and now jjxx is about to take back the ghost pen! ]
[What is the Ghost Messenger Pen? It's hilarious. The one-eyed cat uses the pen as a knife, and every time he kills someone with the knife, they are sent to hell, right? (dog head gesture)]
[Ah…? I think it’s okay. The reunion of the God and the Son of God is very touching. Speaking of which, since Gojo Satoru had used his six eyes to look at the building in advance, it means he knew that Raishin was inside.
At that time, he shaved off the roof with a cool blow, and appeared in the air in a leisurely manner. Was he performing for Lai Shen? Hhh, today I was moved by the father-son relationship between the God and the Son of God again, tears in my eyes]
[Fuck, this father-son relationship joke is not going to work xs, stop it now! Be careful Gojo Satoru will chop off the roof of your house in the middle of the night (Devil's Whisper)]
[Rai Shen said, "There are too many connections with identities that cannot exist." This sentence is so iconic QAQ. Usually in comics, there is such a plot: a lonely god connects with a mortal and becomes curious and steps into the human world. In the end, not only is he no longer a high and mighty god, but he can no longer be a real mortal, which is very tragic.]
[Don't be like that, upstairs! Let's shout together that this is a hot-blooded manga——]
[Come to think of it, Geto is very similar to the image in the original story. But the one-eyed cat didn't even draw what the logo is, it's so tempting to half-cover it. What is it that I, a noble VIP reader, can't see!!]
【Do you feel that the atmosphere is full of danger? And the new character is also a bit strange, that extra junior.
It's normal for a new series to have new characters. I've always been very accepting of new characters. However, when I saw in the comics that he was always listening to this next to Goka Nitro, I felt it was weird...】
[From a facial point of view, he is quite cute. The shy boy with puppy eyes is super kawaii!! But if Gojo Satoru doesn’t like him, there may be something wrong. After all, cats have very accurate intuition (of course, it may also be that cats and dogs are simply incompatible, haha). ]
[Six Eyes is at school. Excluding the possibility that he is a cursed spirit in disguise, the dog Jiechuan should be a descendant of humans. However, it is unclear whether he cooperates with the cursed spirit.
In the original novel, Junpei trusted the Curse Spirit Master. In the new series, the Curse Spirits are more intelligent, and there might be some who seduce underage magicians. 】
[I agree with the above. There is also a possibility that they are sent by the new series' regulatory committee. According to the recent intelligence report of the one-eyed cat, the Iris organization is connected to the missing cases in society, which is very strange.
It is very likely that Gouji Yuukawa came here to blend in with them and monitor the situation of underage sorcerers in the sorcery world, especially the three potential stocks of Goka Nio. 】
[It’s scary when you think about it… But we can’t jump to conclusions too early. Maybe he’s just a shy puppy. We can’t bully cute dogs!
When Lai Shen appeared, didn’t everyone think he was very dark? Then, when the Yesterday and Yesterday episode came out, people thought he was a gentle person at heart - anyway, stay tuned for the sequel!! 】
Jiang Lai roughly read up to this point, sorting out the speculations of the camps in the forum: the cursed spirit side, the regulatory committee side, and the ordinary students side.
His inner thoughts were roughly divided into these three categories. The first two were more troublesome, and the last one was nothing.
What exactly it is will only become clear as we interact with each other in the future... In short, be cautious.
In this turbulent new world, Jiang Lai never really lets down his guard.
So far, the situation is relatively friendly. The most important thing is that there are no troublesome perverts for the time being!
Jiang Lai couldn't help but recall the time when he was playing the main story in the Science World, when there were one bt after another. It was simply a test of his acting skills, endurance, and firepower...
In short, he was very satisfied with the relatively relaxed atmosphere at the moment. He could make friends and take a vacation while collecting intelligence and recuperating.
——
The three first-year juniors returned to school the next morning.
Jiang Lai knew this because Gojo Satoru came by around noon and gave him a box of snacks, saying, "Nanami and the others are back and brought a lot of souvenirs. I'll give you one box as well."
Jiang Lai subconsciously reached out to take it, and just as his fingertips were about to touch it, Gojo Satoru suddenly took it back with a smile on his face: "Eh - wait, I want to ask another question."
他睫羽扇動，藍眸半透過墨鏡看過來，“你偷偷告訴我，你是什麽[存在]怎麽樣？我絕對不告訴傑和硝子！”
江萊露出無奈的半月眼：“我說……你還真是執着于這個問題。”
“因為真的真的很好奇嘛！”五條悟拖長聲音道，“就像是有羽毛卡在心間，這種謎題不解開讓我渾身難受。”
江萊：“幻視一些好奇心旺盛的大貓。”
五條悟：“？”
江萊：“開玩笑的。”他笑，“緣分到了，總會告訴你的。不必着急這一時半會。”
“嘁——又搞神秘主義，好煩人啊。”白發少年雖然嘴上這麽說着，但手中卻把那盒點心遞出來，塞到江萊手中了，“我不喜歡這個味，給你了。”
江萊低頭看去。這是一盒樣式精巧的巧克力小蛋糕。
五條悟是甜食愛好者，這款也不是苦型的純黑巧克力，對方不可能真的讨厭這個味——八成是青春期唯我獨尊的長條貓不好意思直接送，于是就以這樣的傲慢理由塞給自己了。
心中雖然明了，但江萊面色上并未表現出來，只是笑眯眯道：“好哦，我喜歡吃巧克力。那就收下了，多謝。”
面前的白發少年略微昂了昂首，表示一種聽見的回複。
接着，他随意道：“下午有在操場的集體訓練課，你要去看看那幾個一年級生嗎？”
提到後輩組們，江萊心中略微一頓。他停了一下，才平靜回答：“應該會去吧。不過你不用和他們特意說一聲。”
“好，你随意。”五條悟說，“想什麽時候去就什麽時候去。”
他單手搭在下颌處，唇角高翹，揚起肆意的弧度，提聲說：“要是來得巧，你說不定能看到我超帥的無敵畫面——”五條悟擺手說，“然後你就趕緊把之前的照片替換掉，換成這種的！”
江萊被逗笑了：“你還記得啊？”
“明明是昨天路上提到的吧，再說了我記憶力可好了！——總之不許發給傑，還有硝子。其他人也不能發！”五條悟臨出門前，還扒在宿舍門框上用警告的語氣道。
“好好好。”江萊順着點頭應道，“不發，現在都不發。”
至于未來會不會分享——那就是未來的事了。不過，想必未來的成年五條悟也就完全不在意黑歷史照片這種事情了。留存照片，也算是一種紀念。
江萊在心中笑起。說不準未來成成年的285，還會主動拿着照片和學生們得意洋洋地說“看吧，老師我從小就如此受歡迎，就算是臭臉和無語臉都帥到慘絕人寰~”。差不多這種畫風。
因為歷來人數少，高專內部沒有專門的食堂，但是如果提前和管理人員說明，就會有餐食準備。
大概是因為他們下午有集體訓練課，默認中午在校吃飯。所以十二點左右的時候，宿舍管理人員依次敲門，來每一間宿舍送了菜式豐富的便當。
江萊此時僞裝正常人類中，所以謝過後拿進屋中，照舊吃了。而且吃飯也是一種享受，沒有饑餓和飽腹感後，可以随便炫！
等到下午兩三點的時候，江萊估摸着差不多正在訓練點，于是啓程前往操場。
操場十分開闊，高專一年級與二年級都在一起。
不遠處，五條悟、夏油傑和家入硝子幾人坐在旁邊休息區放置的塑料凳子，大概恰巧在休息時間。
操場上，淺茶色發的結川栗芥和金發的七海建人正在進行體術對練。
遠遠望到那位新系列裏加入的狗狗結川，江萊放緩腳步，目光聚焦過去。
旁邊灰原雄元氣滿滿地同時給兩人加油。剛剛入學不久的兩人水平差不了太多，兩人在場上你來我往，局勢似乎頗為焦灼。
江萊心中思緒流淌：僅從這一場體術對練來看，這位結川栗芥好像沒什麽特別的，不像是經過特別訓練後的咒術師。
當然，不排除對方有隐瞞實力的可能。隐瞞體術實力不是什麽稀罕事，但是能夠隐瞞得這麽一圈人都看不出來，才是真正可怖的地方。
江萊希望對方是真的對體術沒有研究，而不是擁有高超的隐瞞能力。
他走出林間石板路，擁有六眼的五條悟首先注意到江萊，懶洋洋地揮了揮手，右手聚成喇叭狀：“萊，這邊——”
旁邊的夏油傑也微笑着揮手，家入硝子也點點頭。
一年級的三人并不認識江萊，只當是咒術師前輩——之所以沒有當做是咒術界高層，是因為五條悟首先打招呼了。若是高層派來的人，白發少年只會翹着二郎腿，一副愛答不理的樣子。
無論如何，禮節方面，總歸是要稱呼一聲。灰原雄熱情地立正鞠躬，大聲說：“前輩好——！”
一側正在對練的兩人也停了停。七海建人神情平靜：您好。”
淺茶色發的結川栗芥手指交纏在一起，接着又擡起臉，像是膽小又好奇的小狗，腼腆地低聲說：“……您好。”
“我只是悟的朋友。”江萊笑了下，輕描淡寫道，“不算什麽大前輩，不用這麽客氣，你們繼續吧。”他的目光沒有在任何一人上過多停留。
時間還長，江萊沒打算這麽早就讓結川注意到自己的關注。因此他表現得非常平和又随意，沒有過多傾注目光，或者問些什麽。
夏油傑從旁邊伸手拿過來一個板凳，示意江萊坐下。
今天天氣不錯，風輕雲淡。一年級的繼續訓練，他們幾個則随意聊着天，氣氛輕快。
五條悟沒多久就會換一個姿勢，對他來說，這種凳子坐着太局限了。聊完最近新出的電影，再度調換了大長腿的姿勢，他好像想起什麽似的，突然問道：
“對了，傑，那封信是什麽啊？”
“嗯？”夏油傑一愣。
聽到此時的話題，在旁邊的江萊心神不由自主地提起。
——竟然如此直接地聊到了那封信的內容！
“就是硝子說的那個，從郵寄處幫你取回來放到教室的信。”五條悟側頭，随口問道，“不是說除了收件人以外，什麽信息都沒有嘛。好奇怪啊，那裏面是什麽？”
“……”夏油傑臉上還着一如既往的溫和眯眼笑，他張了張口，說，“沒什麽，就是一張白紙而已。”
“啊？白紙？”五條悟高揚起眉峰，“怎麽有人寄這個，這是什麽新式惡作劇嗎？”他伸手說，“不然我幫你用六眼看看，上面是不是有什麽隐藏詛咒之類的。”
“只是一張普通的白紙。當時我拆完信後，順手收起來了。”夏油傑從衣兜裏摸出折疊四折的紙張，将其伸展開，遞給五條悟。
白發青年将墨鏡插在胸口衣兜上，兩手捏着紙張，在陽光下看着——白色的A4紙在風中發出輕響，上面有零散的墨水滴。
江萊的目光也随之移到紙面上，
“啊……好像真的只是白紙啊，”五條悟不甘心地反複看了幾遍，“不會是要用特殊的光照才能看見，或者火烤水濕來才能顯形？”
家入硝子也湊近了些許，看了幾眼：“不像是有什麽特別的。”
“沒人會寄這種複雜的信吧，它也沒有什麽特別的藥水味。”夏油傑說，“你要是想玩，就拿去玩吧。”
“算了，應該真的只是張白紙，什麽惡作劇啊。”五條悟耷拉下眼皮，“還故意甩上些墨跡……什麽意思嘛。”
夏油傑視線落在地面上，他頓了下，似乎還想說什麽，最後還是沒開口。
手中捏着紙張的五條悟突然扭頭，對斜後方說：“你一直站那邊幹什麽？”六眼360度無死角，自然能夠看到斜後方持續矗立的人。
斜後方站立着的淺茶色發身影略微一怔，結巴道：“那個、剛才我們練完了，我有問題想要請教前輩們。”
“你要麽走近點直接過來，要麽像七海和灰原一樣隔遠點等會再上前，你隔着不遠不近的距離，一直這樣聽——”五條悟眉頭略皺，話語不怎麽客氣，“很煩哎。”
“抱歉……我沒有偷聽的意思，我只是想來請教，但是你們在聊天，我就沒上前。”結川栗芥狗狗眼略微睜大，他往後退了小半步，“那我等會再……”
“你想問什麽？”一向是好好前輩的夏油傑轉過半個身子，溫和開口，“過來問吧。本來我們二年級在這邊，就是指導你們的。”
家入硝子點了支煙，視線流轉，沒說話。
“真的嗎？太好了。”結川栗芥像是小狗一樣洋溢着喜悅，不過他瞥了眼前方姿态張揚的五條悟，垂頭往後又退了半步，“……不了不了，要不我等會再過來問吧。打擾了。”
他的動作并不隐蔽，實際上，在場的幾位都能看出結川栗芥對五條悟的畏懼。
“沒關系。悟只是說話比較直接，其實沒有惡意，是吧，悟？”夏油傑拍拍自家好友，臉上帶着笑容，緩和氣氛道。
Gojo Satoru did not follow him down the stairs. He put on his pitch-black sunglasses again and snorted, "Okay, just be a good senior, Jie." He put his hands in his pockets and stood up from his chair.
——A pair of hands suddenly grabbed him!
Gojo Satoru, who had not yet opened his limitless state, was grabbed by Jiang Lai. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you guys just finish talking? Don't leave in such a hurry." Jiang Lai blinked and said calmly with a faint smile, "Jie Jun looks like he has something else to say."
He pulled Gojo Satoru back and said, "If you leave like this, who will Jie-kun talk to?"
Then, Jiang Lai turned to Yuukawa Kuritai who was not far away, his warm brown eyes slightly curved, looking quite friendly:
"Jie-kun is busy. If you have any problems, I will help you solve them."
