Chapter 53 Marionette

Hell Gate, a special cursed tool, used for sealing. In the original novel, Brain planned for a long time and used it to seal the strongest Gojo Satoru, locking him in this cube-sized "cat box" where time and space do not flow.

The sealing condition is one minute, but it does not mean that the time stays in reality for one minute, but that time passes in the brain for one minute. This is why Yukawa Kurita suddenly appears - to evoke Jiang Lai's past memories and make time pass in the brain for one minute.

In the original novel, it was the brain flower that was pressing against Geto Kagome's body, causing Satoru to instinctively recall the past.

In fact, Jiang Lai already knew that Yukawa Kurigashi was still alive, so he didn't think about this bad dog. He just recalled the information he had read before in his mind... I don't know if it took more than a minute.

I didn't expect that they would point it at me here? Jiang Lai was quick-witted and thought quickly in just a few breaths.

He stared at the square box, feeling slightly nervous, and two questions popped up in his mind:

As an existence that is detached from the human world and similar to nature, does it belong to the category of being sealed?

Who is more powerful, the indestructible mobile phone or the impenetrable prison gate?

The square gate of hell that was thrown towards him [opened] in front of him, and the four corners stretched into a curtain as high as a person, with a single eye in the middle that was wide open and terrifying. Jiang Lai was quick-witted, turned his wrist, held the phone tightly, and aimed it!

...No matter what, let's just break the impasse first!

Under Yukawa Kurita's dog-eye gaze and with a low smile, while Kagome Jie stretched out his hand and tried in vain, he saw that the navy blue figure did not look panicked at all.

His eyes were sharp as he stared at the prelude to the seal that was approaching. He held the ancient book in one hand and slashed it forward horizontally.

The thin book touched the door of the prison, and the pages were like an invincible knife, splitting it in two in the blink of an eye!

Yukawa Kurikuchi & Xia Youjie: "?!!"

The strange curtain was shattered in an instant, and the prison gate collapsed in all directions, exploding and falling to the ground. A few pieces of debris bounced on the ground a few times, rolling down to the feet of the light brown-haired young man not far away.

“…”

The wind in the alley blew, sleeves fluttered, and the air froze for a moment. The man with black hair and brown eyes looked calm, and he put down his hand calmly:

"——My advice is, don't litter everywhere."

He spoke slowly and casually, as calmly as usual, without giving Yuikawa Kurigata any emotional feedback.

The cold, gentle and shy smile on the face of the light brown-haired young man suddenly froze, and his reddish-brown eyes stared straight at him.

Jiang Lai enjoyed the moment when the person in front of him broke down his defense and revealed his true face. He stood steadily in place, the tension in his heart that had been slightly raised now relaxed, and his mind had a rare moment of wild imagination.

The mobile phone that can break through the limitless, today also broke through the gate of hell very powerfully - worthy of being the real protagonist! He silently typed the emoticon package that he had used countless times in his heart.

However, Jiang Lai didn't expect that this attack would actually destroy it directly. He originally thought that bouncing it off was the limit.

To be honest, if the prison gate hadn't [opened], there was a moment when he wanted to act out "My family picked up a prison gate."

Yukawa Kurikawa stared at the dark blue figure in front of him with his reddish-brown eyes. After two or three seconds, he spoke in his usual tone, with a hint of humility:

"I'm sorry, Senior. I'll be more careful next time... Ugh!"

Before he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to materialize and suddenly wrapped around him and grabbed him!

Jiang Lai raised his eyes calmly, raised his arms slightly, clenched his five fingers, and tightly wrapped the edited spell code around the light brown-haired young man.

In addition to the alarm bells, he had also set up a few traps in the alley that only needed a few digits to be activated. They were obviously useful at this moment.

After initially restraining the opponent, Jiang Lai flicked his fingertips and quickly edited several code strips to strengthen the restraint.

Because he just noticed that Yuukawa Kuritai emerged from the shadow on the ground, Jiang Lai paid special attention to this point. He moved his fingertips and grabbed the light brown-haired young man off the ground, making him pause in mid-air.

He didn't have time and didn't want to listen to Yukawa Kuriki's nonsense. The shyness and pleading of the man in front of him were all just a performance. Jiang Lai was tired of this, and now that he knew his true face, he didn't need to be polite anymore.

"Whether you have the courage to come next time or not, at least this time, you have to pay the price." Jiang Lai's voice was calm, and he retracted the spell power code stripes.

The restraints tightened again, and the held Yuukawa Kurikawa tried to break free, but the powerful cursed energy seemed to fill up all the gaps in the air.

The young man with light brown hair felt suffocated, and raised his puppy dog ​​eyes with tears in his eyes: "Senior, I know I was wrong. For Senior Geta's sake, otherwise..."

"Me?" Xia Yujie took a few steps forward, with a squinting look on his face, "Of course I'm more in favor of killing you."

Although they are both members of the Supervisory Committee, Geto Suguru has always disliked Yuukawa Kuritai. The hatred between them started from the moment Haibara died. They have different philosophies and are not the same kind of people.

Jiang Lai's eyes flickered as he said, "It's a pity that my technique can't completely grind bones and turn them into ashes, otherwise you would be lucky enough to experience it again while still alive."

Experience it again? Hearing this, Yuukawa Kurikawa couldn't control his expression again. He was obviously stunned for a second, and then he said sharply: "It was you at that time——?!"

"Yes, I suggested that you do this." Jiang Lai smiled faintly, his eyes were indifferent but also had a hint of contempt, "When dealing with dirty things, you have to handle them more cleanly."

He flipped his fingertips and tightened the restraints again, wrapping one of them around Yuukawa Kurita's neck, intending to break his neck cleanly -

Beside him, Xia Yujie suddenly put his hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder: "Stop. Let me do it, Lai."

[Existence] cannot be bound, and killing may also accumulate the evil power of the world. Xia Yujie still remembers the conversations between the few people and the youth they spent.

Every page of the story of his college years was as clear as a picture in his mind. Occasionally, during the countless nights when he was traveling alone, he would take it out and review it.

"..." Jiang Lai stopped collecting the curse code after hearing this. He turned his head and smiled gently, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Jiejun."

He knew that Geto Suguru didn't like Yuikawa Kurikawa, and his dislike and hatred for her wouldn't change just because they were in the same camp. It was absolutely impossible that he spoke at this time just to help Yuikawa.

It is very likely that Jason is a thoughtful person and he made such a decision because of something he thought about.

That's it, let's make a decision that makes the other person feel more comfortable. Jiang Lai thought, lowered his hand, obeyed Kagyu Geto's words, and prepared to hand Yukawa Kurita to Kagyu Geto.

"...Are you really going to do this, Senior Geto?" Yukawa Kurita stopped struggling at this point. He lowered his puppy eyes and looked forward, meeting Geto's gaze. "Mom will be mad."

"You asked for this." Xia Yujie said coldly, with a fake smile on his face, "Who told you to disturb me?"

The young man with the ball-shaped hair summoned a purple three-handed cursed spirit with surging cursed power. At the wrists of the three hands were sharp long swords that reflected a cold and eerie light.

Facing his impending death, Yuukawa Kuriki didn't seem to be too worried. A dark light flashed across his eyes: "...You will regret it."

Jiang Lai just thought that this guy was making a noise, and he didn't intend to let this guy and Jie continue chatting, so his eyes fell to the front, intending to raise his hand to wrap the cursed power code strip around Yukawa Kuriki's mouth to shut him up.

Just at this moment, Jiang Lai's sixth sense siren suddenly sounded!

He keenly sensed a strong wind coming from the side, so he turned his head quickly -

A long knife reflecting cold light attacked him from a position where he was completely unprepared and pierced his neck directly!

Jiang Lai: “!?” He only had time to move away a little, but the knife still cut through. Pain suddenly exploded, and he widened his eyes in shock.

The single eye on the purple three-handed curse spirit's face turned, and following the guidance of the curse spirit operator, one of its sword-like hands pierced Jiang Lai's neck!

...Why? ?

While Jiang Lai's mind was blank, Xia Youjie was also shocked. He maintained the posture of controlling the cursed spirit, and his chest and heart were vibrating like a drum.

“…No, wait, I’m not…!”

He found that he could not control himself, like a puppet, his body was controlled by other forces, doing things he did not want to do at all. The only things that belonged to him were his words and consciousness.

"Senior Geto, I told you that you would regret this." Yuikawa Kurikawa laughed out loud, "Don't forget the constraints of the contract you signed that year. What freedom are you talking about here?"

The other two blade hands of the purple three-handed curse spirit moved forward again, aiming at Jiang Lai's heart and abdomen and stabbing them mercilessly and fiercely!

Xia Yujie gritted his teeth and was trembling with fear. He tried his best to stop himself from controlling the cursed spirit! But it was completely useless!

He was a puppet being manipulated, raising his knife to kill his former friend. He didn't want to, but his will was of no use.

Although their paths were different and although he had no good feelings towards this world, he never thought of truly hurting his former friends.

"......!" Shock and despair were swaying in the eyes of the young man with the ball-shaped hair. He had never felt so powerless before.

The next second, the purple three-handed cursed spirit was thrown away by a force in the air. At the same time, the cursed power code that was holding Yuukawa Kurita not far away suddenly tightened and crushed him directly in it!

"What are you talking about here, Jiechuan-kun, your performance is as poor as ever?" Jiang Lai's injured throat made a loud sound, and his eyes were extremely cold.

Warm blood spurted out, flowing down the neck and soaking the navy blue kimono.

The bad news: He can't reverse the technique. And it hurts, so much so that he sees flashes of white and black.

Good news: As an [existence], you won't die even if your throat is stabbed.

Responding directly to Yuikawa Kurita with a mocking tone, Jiang Lai raised one hand and suddenly tightened the cursed power code, preparing to crush the opponent to death on the spot, and then look at the situation of Geto Suguru.

At this moment, a huge cursed force surged in the air again, and a shockwave from the sky slammed down, blasting the place where Yuukawa Kuriki was to pieces!

The shock wave of the explosion rose up with the wind. Jiang Lai covered his throat with one hand and squinted his eyes.

In the sky, a figure in a black uniform stood there, his white hair flying, one hand holding a torn bandage, his blue eyes looking down on others with depthless eyes, like a god descending from heaven.
