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."
His eyelashes fluttered, and his blue eyes looked over half through his sunglasses, "How about you tell me secretly what you are? I will never tell Jay and Glass!"
Jiang Lai showed a helpless half-moon eye: "I say... you are really obsessed with this problem."
"Because I'm really, really curious!" Gojo Satoru said in a long voice, "It feels like there's a feather stuck in my heart. I feel uncomfortable until I solve this mystery."
Jiang Lai: "Vision of some curious big cats."
Gojo Satoru: “?”
Jiang Lai: "I'm just kidding." He smiled, "When the time comes, I'll tell you. There's no need to rush."
"Tsk - mysticism again, so annoying." Although the white-haired boy said this, he handed the box of snacks to Jiang Lai and said, "I don't like the taste. I give it to you."
Jiang Lai looked down. It was a box of exquisitely designed small chocolate cakes.
Gojo Satoru is a sweets lover, and this isn't a bitter, pure dark chocolate, so it's impossible for him to really hate the taste - most likely he was just a self-centered adolescent who was too embarrassed to give it to him directly, so he forced it on himself with such an arrogant excuse.
Although Jiang Lai understood it in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "Okay, I like chocolate. I'll take it. Thank you."
The white-haired boy in front of him raised his head slightly, indicating that he had heard the reply.
Then, he casually said, "There is a group training class on the playground this afternoon. Do you want to go and see those first-year students?"
Jiang Lai paused for a moment when he mentioned the younger generation. He paused for a moment before calmly answering, "They should go. But you don't have to tell them specifically."
"Okay, it's up to you," Gojo Satoru said. "You can go whenever you want."
He placed one hand on his chin, raised the corners of his lips, raised a wanton arc, and said in a loud voice: "If you come at the right time, you might be able to see my super handsome and invincible picture-" Gojo Satoru waved his hand and said, "Then you quickly replace the previous photo with this one!"
Jiang Lai was amused: "Do you still remember?"
"You clearly mentioned it on the way yesterday. Besides, I have a great memory! - In any case, you are not allowed to give it to Jie and Nozomi. Nor to anyone else!" Before Gojo Satoru left the room, he leaned on the door frame of the dormitory and said in a warning tone.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Lai nodded and said, "No, not even now."
As for whether or not he will share it in the future, that is a matter for the future. However, I guess the adult Gojo Satoru in the future will not care about the black historical photos at all. Keeping the photos is also a kind of commemoration.
Jiang Lai laughed in his heart. Who knows, when he grows up, he might take the photo and proudly tell students, "Look, I have been so popular since I was a child. Even when I have a sour face or a silent face, I am so handsome~". It's something like that.
Due to the small number of students, there is no dedicated cafeteria in the college, but if you inform the management in advance, meals will be prepared.
Probably because they had a group training class in the afternoon, they had to eat lunch at school by default. So around 12 o'clock, the dormitory management staff knocked on the door one by one and came to each dormitory to deliver a lunch box with rich dishes.
Jiang Lai was pretending to be a normal human at this time, so he took it into the house after thanking him and ate it as usual. And eating is also a kind of enjoyment. After not feeling hungry or full, you can show off as you like!
By two or three in the afternoon, Jiang Lai estimated that they were almost at the training point, so he set off for the playground.
The playground is very spacious, with the first and second year students of technical secondary school together.
Not far away, Gojo Satoru, Kagome Kyo, and Ieiri Nozomi were sitting on plastic stools placed in the rest area nearby. It was probably during their break time.
On the playground, light brown-haired Yuukawa Kurita and blonde Nanami Kento were practicing taijutsu.
Seeing the dog Jiechuan that was added to the new series from afar, Jiang Lai slowed down his pace and focused his eyes on him.
Beside them, Huiyuan Xiong cheered for both of them with great energy. The two had just entered the school and their levels were not much different. They fought back and forth on the court and the situation seemed quite tense.
Jiang Lai's thoughts flowed in his mind: Judging from this physical training match alone, this Yuukawa Kuritai seems to be nothing special, and does not look like a sorcerer who has received special training.
Of course, it is possible that the opponent is hiding his strength. Hiding physical strength is not uncommon, but being able to hide it so that no one can see it is the truly terrifying thing.
Jiang Lai hoped that the other party really had no knowledge of physical training, rather than possessing superb concealment abilities.
He walked out of the stone path in the forest. Gojo Satoru, who had six eyes, noticed Jiang Lai first. He waved lazily and made a trumpet shape with his right hand: "Rai, this way--"
Next to him, Geto Suguru also smiled and waved, and Naoko Ieiri nodded.
The three first-year students did not know Jiang Lai, and only thought of him as a senior sorcerer. The reason they did not think of him as a high-ranking official in the sorcery world was because Gojo Satoru greeted him first. If he was someone sent by a high-ranking official, the white-haired boy would just cross his legs and look indifferent.
No matter what, etiquette requires one to address someone. Huiyuan Yu bowed enthusiastically and said loudly, "Hello, Senior—!"
The two people who were practicing on the side also stopped. Nanami Kento said calmly: "Hello."
The light brown-haired Yuikawa Kuritai intertwined her fingers, then raised her face, like a timid yet curious puppy, and whispered shyly, "...Hello."
"I'm just Wu's friend." Jiang Lai smiled and said lightly, "You're not a senior, so there's no need to be so polite. You guys continue." His eyes did not linger on anyone for too long.
There was still a long time to go, and Jiang Lai didn't intend to let Jiechuan notice his attention so early. Therefore, he acted very calmly and casually, without paying too much attention or asking anything.
Xia Youjie reached out and took a stool from the side, motioning Jiang Lai to sit down.
The weather was nice today, with light clouds and gentle breezes. The first-year students continued their training, while the others chatted casually, creating a lighthearted atmosphere.
Gojo Satoru would change his posture every once in a while. For him, this kind of stool was too restrictive. After talking about the latest movie, he changed the posture of his long legs again. He seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Jay, what's that letter?"
"Huh?" Xia Yujie was stunned.
Hearing this topic, Jiang Lai, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be distracted.
——We actually talked about the content of the letter so directly!
"It's the letter that Nazuko mentioned. I picked it up from the post office and put it in the classroom for you." Gojo Satoru tilted his head and asked casually, "Didn't it say that there was no information except the recipient? It's so strange, what's in it?"
"..." Xia Yujie still had his usual gentle smile on his face. He opened his mouth and said, "It's nothing, just a blank piece of paper."
"Ah? A blank piece of paper?" Gojo Goko raised his eyebrows. "Why would someone send this? Is this some new kind of prank?" He stretched out his hand and said, "How about I use my six eyes to check if there is any hidden curse on it."
"It's just an ordinary piece of white paper. I put it away after I opened the letter." Xia Yujie took out a piece of paper folded in four from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Gojo Satoru.
The white-haired young man put his sunglasses in his chest pocket, held a piece of paper in both hands, and looked at it in the sunlight - the white A4 paper made a slight sound in the wind, and there were scattered drops of ink on it.
Jiang Lai's eyes also moved to the paper.
"Ah... it really seems to be just a blank sheet of paper," Gojo Satoru looked at it several times unwillingly, "Does it require special lighting to be seen, or fire to wet it to make it visible?"
Ieiri Naoko also moved closer and took a few glances: "It doesn't look like there's anything special."
"No one would send such a complicated letter, and it doesn't have any special smell of medicine." Xia Yujie said, "If you want to play with it, just take it and play with it."
"Forget it, it should really be just a blank piece of paper, what kind of prank is this?" Gojo Satoru drooped his eyelids, "And he deliberately smeared some ink on it... What's the meaning of that?"
Xia Yujie's gaze fell on the ground. He paused and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
Gojo Satoru, holding a piece of paper in his hand, suddenly turned his head and said to the person behind him: "What are you doing standing there?" The six eyes have a 360-degree vision, so he can naturally see the person standing behind him.
The light brown-haired figure standing behind him was slightly startled and stammered, "Well, we just finished practicing, and I have a question for you seniors."
"You can either come closer or stay a little further away like Nanami and Haibara and wait before coming forward. You are listening from a distance that is neither too far nor too close—" Gojo Satoru frowned slightly and spoke unkindly, "It's very annoying."
"Sorry... I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just wanted to ask for advice, but you were chatting, so I didn't come forward." Yukawa Kurikazuki's dog eyes widened slightly, and he took a small step back, "Then I'll come back later..."
"What do you want to ask?" The always polite senior turned half his body and spoke gently, "Come over and ask. We, the second-years, are here to guide you."
Jia Ru Nishiko lit a cigarette, looked around, and said nothing.
"Really? That's great." Yukawa Kurikawa was as happy as a puppy, but he glanced at Gojo Satoru who was showing off in front of him, lowered his head and took a half step back, "... No, no, how about I come over and ask later. Sorry to bother you."
His actions were not concealed. In fact, several people present could see that Yuukawa Kurikawa was afraid of Gojo Satoru.
"It's okay. Wu just spoke more directly, but he didn't mean any harm, right, Wu?" Xia Yujie patted his friend and said with a smile on his face to ease the atmosphere.
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."
