Chapter 44 Jiang Lai: Shake it up, shake off the ashes
There is nothing there.
Or, in other words, there is nothing in his eyes. Jiang Lai's mind was full of thoughts. Xia Youjie's performance just now was like he saw something unexpected.
It's most likely something from the Regulatory Commission. Only there are markings that are different from ordinary curses. There might be marks that outsiders cannot see.
Xia Yujie didn't notice Yukawa before, maybe the time was not right, Jiang Lai thought. Maybe something will only emerge after a period of time after death.
Gojo Satoru noticed his friend's momentary shock and turned around to ask, "What's wrong, Jie?"
"...Nothing." Xia Yujie smiled as usual and said casually, "I was just thinking about something, and you suddenly moved beside me, which scared me."
"Jie, are you so timid? Are you thinking of the horror movie we watched before? Hey, Shoko! I told you that he was pretending when he looked so calm before!" Gojo Satoru laughed and raised his hand to call Ieiri Shoko next to him.
The girl with short brown hair, Jia Ru Nishiko, replied calmly, "If you have finished reading, please leave. I still have some data to collect."
"Ah, so cold, Nitro—"
Jiang Lai glanced at Xia Youjie silently from the side. The boy with the ball-head hairstyle had a smiling expression on his face as if he was having fun with his friends, but his hanging arms looked particularly calm and tired.
When he heard Geto Suguru's reply to Gojo Satoru just now, he knew that the other party still chose to keep his thoughts to himself and did not tell them.
——I don't know if it's because I can't say it, or if I don't say it because I don't want certain things to involve my friends.
In short, if you want to know the secret of this part, you have to change the way. Jiang Lai rubbed the phone with his fingertips and muttered in his heart. I will look at the comics later. I hope the God's perspective will be more powerful this time.
At this moment, Jiang Lai glanced at the corpse on the operating table again and asked, "By the way, what will be done with this later?"
"Hmm?" Ieiri Naoko heard the question and replied, "I'll take it for research and dissection. After the residual heat has worn off, I'll wait for the procedure and finally cremate it. Because it was killed with cursed power, there's no need to worry about it turning into a cursed spirit, so there's less trouble."
Jiang Lai blinked slightly and gently suggested: "How about you do a cremation on the body? This way you don't have to queue up for cremation, which is more convenient and time-saving, and also environmentally friendly and economical."
Jiang Lai: No matter what the situation is with this guy, I will use magic to grind him to ashes!
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Jiang Lai to suggest this, but he still nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and added, "Then we should also set up a barrier or something like that around the corpse in the next few days, and also add a detection alarm, just in case."
Everyone: “?”
"Huh? Are you worried about someone stealing the body?" Gojo Satoru made a wow sound and leaned back, "Not really—"
Ieiri Naoko paused for a moment, coughed, and slowly explained, "Except for me, no one in the technical college is interested in corpses."
"Just because no one comes to steal it doesn't mean the body won't run away." Jiang Lai shook the book and said as a matter of course, "After all, the body itself has a lot of subjective initiative."
Everyone: “???”
Gojo Satoru put his index finger on his chin, thought for two seconds, and deliberately made an expression of sudden enlightenment, and joked: "So you are the one who is most afraid of ghosts here! Lai!"
"Yes." Jiang Lai nodded calmly. He raised his warm brown eyes and replied calmly, "I'm scared."
The navy blue figure in front of him nodded so directly in response that Gojo Satoru, who was joking, was choked up and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At this moment, Gojo Satoru recalled what the other party had said back then, "We can't get too deeply involved as [existence]." He was silent for a moment, and the following naturally came to his mind:
If I kill someone myself, wouldn't that be considered too deeply involved?
What happens if the bond is too deep?
These words lingered in his mind, but he didn't want to ask them out loud. Gojo Satoru held his breath for a few seconds, and finally took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't think too much. I'll do it on the day when the body is disposed of." His voice was extremely serious.
Who is thinking too much? Jiang Lai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could sense the thoughts on the boy's face. After all, the boy didn't intend to hide it.
I just don't know what the other person is thinking.
The white-haired boy lowered his head slightly, kicked the tip of his shoe forward casually, and muttered: "...So I told you long ago, don't interfere, I'll do the killing."
"I still say that. You can't kill him. It will only cause more trouble." Jiang Lai's eyes flickered and he smiled. "You are responsible for crushing the corpse and disposing of its ashes. That will be the greatest help."
Next to him, Geto Xia Yu, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke after being stunned for a moment. He nodded: "...You can give it a try, Satoru."
Jiang Lai, who continued to pay attention to the boy with the ball-shaped hair, caught the last words again at this moment - "You can try it."
Combining the observations and guesses just now, that is to say, no matter what Xia Youjie saw, he himself was actually not sure about the specific effects of what he saw? Jiang Lai's mind was shaking, and he wrote this point down.
Then, Gojo Satoru circled the corpse, chatted with Ieiri Shoko, and complained and joked with Geto Suguru.
While the trio was chatting and playing, Jiang Lai took a half step back. Instead of intervening, he looked down at his phone.
The official website updated a few more chapters, and Jiang Lai immediately clicked in to read them.
The content is from the end of the last incident to the place where Yuukawa Kurita was stabbed. However, it has not yet progressed to the infirmary.
It seems that we can only wait for the next chapter to know what Xia Yujie saw from a God's perspective...
So why do we have to stop here? Please update the next chapter as soon as possible!
Jiang Lai couldn't help but cast a few votes for urging for more updates, and then joined the group urging for more updates in the comment section below, becoming a special cursed spirit with one-eyed cats crawling all over his body.
In the forum, everyone is currently analyzing Yuikawa Kuritai.
[Ahhh, I'm so angry! My little angel Huibara QAQ, crying, how could she just disappear like this! ! This demon dog actually killed my little sister, Samoyed——]
[Good job, Lai Shen! Damn it, I was spinning like crazy when I saw that. Fortunately, Lai Shen has a spiritual book that can record sounds, so he skipped the countless steps in between.]
[That guy Yuukawa seems to be something special. Not long after Gojo Satoru entered the school, he went to provoke Gojo, and it seemed that he had calculated the location - a relatively empty place on the playground, where others could see everything from a distance.]
[Anyway, they were deliberately trying to trick Gojo! Ah, and after the others came, they deliberately angered Gojo, wanting him to be labeled as a killer of his juniors. When I saw this, I was so excited that I threw my phone TAT]
[Here, Raishin's moves are really cool!! Wuwu Raishin saw it clearly, so he jumped over Gojo Satoru and made his move in advance, and even said “You can't kill”… He really, I cried to death]
[Kyukawa won't die so easily. It seems that he is not afraid of angering Gojo, so he must have a backup plan.
Not sure whether to use a substitute technique, a shadow clone, or a resurrection technique, or a summoning technique? The current information is not enough.
But his last move clearly showed that he felt that he could no longer have fun in high school after being exposed in front of Lai Shen.
So all the foreshadowing that had been laid out before was put away, and then a final wave of trouble was done before changing the venue.
If he can be resurrected quickly, he will secretly spy on the disputes among the senior officials. If he needs some time to recover, he will probably wait until he is resurrected to find trouble.
From the current perspective, Jiechuan's final gaze fell on Lai Shen.
Because Lai Shen never gave him any emotional feedback, and always interrupted his plans and denied his layout, according to bt's psychology, he always felt that Jiechuan would look for Lai Shen after his resurrection...
Anyway, Rai Shen, if he comes looking for you, beat him up!!!]
Seeing this, Jiang Lai pondered for a few seconds. Coming to find him? It seems possible.
To be honest, this thing is a bit annoying, and it's like a piece of taffy that you can't get rid of. But from another perspective, if it can annoy the enemy, then it's the perfect help.
I will think about it later when I know more about him. Jiang Lai thought calmly. Let's see if I can stick this sticky candy on the enemy.
However, the next time we meet will probably be a long time later. Jiang Lai feels that he will not stay in this period for too long.
Coincidentally, when his thoughts paused, a message popped up in the "Loving Family" group chat, and Jiang Lai clicked on it.
[#Money glasses working overtime again#: That Jiechuan is really a pervert! ! Are you okay, Jiang Lai? ]
[#Good Luck Comes#: I'm fine, but Yuukawa is (puppy jumps out of the box.gif) The world of sorcery doesn't follow legal procedures like we do, so I just went ahead and killed him with a knife... the scene might be a bit bloody.]
[#大猫的猫whisker#: Hmm... I took a general look at the situation at that time. You were right to attack. Otherwise, if the final blow was made by Gojo Satoru, you would have been truly tricked and would have been in a lot of trouble.]
[#大猫的猫whisker#: Don't have too much psychological burden. It is reasonable to have different coping methods in different situations.]
[#Another overtime work sunglasses#: So is there anything you want to talk about? Just say whatever you want, we are all listening.]
[#Good Luck Lai-Lan#: Actually, I'm fine… Don't worry, I understand (Tuanzi smiles with her hands on her face.jpg) Even if I feel stressed, I can communicate with you guys and relieve it in time.]
[#好运來臨#: But it is true that I may have to complain a lot this time, balabala...]
Jiang Lai typed away, unspeaking what was in his heart.
In his heart, he actually knew why he acted so decisively. It was not because he had become brutal and bloodthirsty, but it was precisely the result of calm thinking. He got rid of his indecisiveness and directly cut off the conspiracy.
In critical moments, you must temporarily suppress your emotions, let reason prevail, and make decisive and powerful decisions - this is something you have learned in the world of science, and it is taught to you by Xiao Zhao, a hidden boss who has truly been trained.
In the world of science, Jiang Lai sprinted from an ordinary passerby to the position of another BOSS of the winery organization. In this process, he learned a lot and also learned experience from others.
Although his heartbeat subconsciously accelerated for a few seconds after he had drawn and put away the knife and his emotions had returned to normal, he quickly adjusted himself and calmed down his emotions.
At that time, I didn't have much time to think too much. I had to calm down and continue to deal with the follow-up.
Only when the incident came to a temporary end, would Jiang Lai breathe a sigh of relief, talk freely and openly to his relatives and friends whom he could fully trust in another world, relieve his stress and straighten himself out.
For example, now, after chatting with his scientific friend on the other side, he felt that his mental state was much better.
[#Serious about doing scientific research#: I am busy, so I am online now. Brother Jiang Lai did a good job, and he must take good care of Jiechuan's body.]
[#Good Luck Comes#: Don't worry, I've already suggested that you grind your bones and spread your ashes.]
When sending this line of words, Jiang Lai felt that this sentence was a bit too violent.
[#Serious scientific researchers#: Don’t waste your time.]
Jiang Lai: ...Ah, as expected, Xiao Zhao thinks this is not a good idea.
[#Serious researcher Zhao#: It's not good to spread it in the wind. You can process the ash step by step, use chemicals to decompose it repeatedly until it turns into foam and flushes into the sewer. I'll ask my researchers to write a list of steps later, and then take a photo and send it to you.]
Jiang Lai:?
——Satan is beside me (bushi)!!
He quickly replied in the group, saying "Thanks for your kindness but it's not necessary."
After all, the idea was to let Gojo Satoru use his cursed power to attack, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to collect the ashes...
Jiang Lai doesn't think this is the end. Everything is not that simple. Jiechuan Lijie might come back again.
However, destroying the body so directly might delay the opponent's recovery process.
After all, there is absolutely no possibility of stealing corpses, and there is no way to use the original body to bully others.
If the opponent has an immortal body, it will probably take a long time to piece together the body that was blown to ashes by the spell. Jiang Lai thought silently.
The few of them stayed in the infirmary for a while, and then Gojo Satoru, Kagome Kei, and Jiang Lai left, leaving the place to Ieiri Shoko who was measuring data.
After leaving the house, Gojo Satoru seemed to remember something and fumbled in his pockets: "Oh, I almost forgot, the thing you asked me to keep——" He held a locust wood pendant in his hand and threw it to Jiang Lai beside him, "I'll give it back to you."
Jiang Lai naturally reached out to take it, and glanced down.
The locust wood pendant tied with a red rope was clean and tidy, without any damage or scratches, and it was obvious that it had been well preserved.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, Laowu, for your hard work over the past year. Do you always carry it with you?"
"Yeah, didn't you tell me to take it with me before you left?" Gojo Satoru raised his head and replied. He touched his chin, approached like a cat, and said in a tone as if he had discovered something, "Oh - wait, this thing won't suck my life, right?"
"It doesn't suck your lifespan, it sucks your IQ." Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Do you believe it?"
At one side, Geto Xia Yu calmly replied, "I don't really believe it. Because Wu has been acting like this all the time, it definitely has nothing to do with the falling card."
"Huh? What do you mean, Jie? You've betrayed me again! Hurry up and unite with me to fight Lai together--" Gojo Satoru stepped forward and hooked one hand around Geto Jie's neck, half-jokingly starting to tease him.
Jiang Lai tied the locust wood pendant back to his waist and asked again, "How are Maki and Mayi now?"
In his heart, he was still concerned about the two little ones in the Zen temple, wondering how they were doing after a year - after all, it was he who took the initiative to bring them back, so he also had a certain responsibility.
Because of the accident in the second grade group, Jiang Lai now has no special products to bring.
Xia Yujie still remembered what Jiang Lai had said before, so he suggested that they could pick some items from his house as a gift for Maki and Mayi.
"Actually, I have a lot of food in my dormitory," Gojo Satoru nodded and said generously, "You can take it if you need it."
Xia Yujie said quietly, "Your snacks are too sweet. Children will get cavities if they eat them."
"So, this is the magic of the reversal technique!" Gojo Satoru is not afraid of tooth decay, and the unlimited and reversal techniques can avoid this problem. "It doesn't matter if they have tooth decay, just find Nozomi."
Xia Yujie: "...You can't raise a child like this, Wu." He held his forehead and then said to Jiang Lai, "You should take the one in my room. I'll give it to you as we agreed before."
They walked all the way back to the dormitory, and Xia Yujie took out several boxes of fully packaged flower cakes from his cabinet and handed them to Jiang Lai.
Gojo Satoru leaned over and asked, "Oh, Jay, there are so many desserts in your cabinet. Are you also a sweet tooth?"
"I don't dislike anything." Geto took out a box of Kikufuku and threw it to Gojo Satoru, "Prepare some sweets so you can eat them too."
"Thanks, Jie!" The white-haired boy took it with a giggle. He was never polite to his friends.
"Yeah." Xia Yujie closed the cabinet, looking a little tired.
Gojo Satoru has always been easy-going. His mood, which had just been irritated by Yuikawa Kuritai, has now turned from gloomy to cheerful, and he is chatting with the two of them with a cheerful look in his eyes.
Xia Yujie occasionally responded, but not often. His thoughts were deeper and more persistent, and he was still half immersed in the incident just now.
When both of them had packed their things and were ready to go out, Xia Yujie walked them to the gate of the dormitory area and then stopped.
He smiled and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm a little tired... I won't be with you this time. I'm going to go back and rest first."
Jiang Lai blinked slightly and nodded: "Please take care of your own body and just rest."
"Okay, Jay, you go back first! I'll take Lei to find the two kids." Gojo Satoru waved his hands, his blue eyes staring at his friend through his sunglasses, and said, "You really need to get some sleep. I see that your dark circles have become heavier."
Here, he paused for two or three seconds, and added: "How about I write a few mission reports for you?" The white-haired boy shook the Kikufuku box in his hand, "Since you treated me to food--"
Xia Yujie smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, Wu. I'm fine." He coughed, "And the level of the mission report you wrote... Never mind."
"Hey, hey, what do you mean? Don't think I can't hear you!" Gojo Satoru raised his arm and jokingly hit his friend's shoulder. The two laughed for a while and then parted ways.
Jiang Lai stood by quietly waiting without joining the conversation. Only at the end did he wave goodbye to Xia Yujie.
The boy with the ball-shaped haircut stood next to the wooden gate supporting pillar of the dormitory area, just in the shadow of a tree of moderate size.
Xia Yujie stood there and watched the two people go away, watching Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru getting farther and farther away from him.
——
Jiang Lai brought two boxes of fresh flower cakes and went to meet Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai who were in the house next to Principal Yega.
The small house next to Ye Mo Zheng Dao was originally used to store cursed corpses. Later, it was simply tidied up, with a bookshelf and two sets of tables and chairs added, and used as a study place for the two little girls.
They were both too young now, and spent most of their time learning theoretical knowledge. The few times they practiced, they were also training with the mild Curse Skeletons in the house that had little offensive power.
Children are not very good at hiding their feelings. Upon seeing the "big demon" whom they hadn't seen for a long time, both Zenin Maki and Mayi were surprised, but they were still a little shy and kept a polite distance when greeting him.
Jiang Lai curled his lips and raised a truly gentle smile. He placed the flower cakes on the shelf next to him, squatted down, patted the two little ones on the head, and chatted with them for a while in a friendly manner.
Gojo Satoru was playing with the cursed corpses nearby, and from time to time he would suddenly approach one to scare them, then laugh out loud.
Zenin Maki is not the type to accept things passively. At this moment, facing Gojo Satoru's teasing of a child, the young girl, with her short legs, also fought back while holding a cursed skeleton doll.
Jiang Lai's half-moon eyes felt that the two little ones must have fully understood Gojo Satoru's chicken-and-cat nature in just one year.
Compared to her older sister Maki, Zenin Mai was relatively introverted when she was young.
She sat on a small stool nearby, just watching her sister and Gojo Satoru playing with the children from a distance.
Jiang Lai tilted his head and chatted with Chan Yuanzhen: "Does Wu come to tease you guys often?"
Xiao Zhenyi whispered, "Fortunately, they are all very busy, so usually Sister Gaozi accompanies us." She paused for a second and continued, "Before Brother Xiayou would come to see us from time to time...but he rarely comes recently."
Jiang Lai tilted his head and continued, "He must be busy recently. What did you talk about last time?"
"Well... it's just some casual conversation." Zenin Shinji sat up straight, "But, there's something that Brother Geto said that I don't quite understand."
