Chapter 59: Sit-up chapter of the science comic

Another [existence]?

Jiang Lai was startled when he heard this, but he was not particularly surprised.

Since it was recognized by the world's will when it was first laid out to establish its [existence] identity, it shows that this is not an isolated definition.

Moreover, this also explains why the pattern of the Regulatory Commission was able to escape the detection of the Six Eyes - because they also have an [Existence] on their side.

I just don’t know the existence of the regulatory agency and what the specific situation is.

Did the other party choose to take action because wandering around in the human world was too boring and so tried to manipulate for fun, or was it because he was deceived by someone and inadvertently created a bad karma?

However, the [existence] of the Regulatory Commission is likely to be attached to objects (or at least, initially attached to objects).

That is why, when those people were searching according to the prophecy, they focused on the "special items" around Gojo Satoru rather than the "person".

Or, they originally thought that there was only one [Existence] in the world, and therefore understood the [Clock] in the prophecy as a special item - such as a [Existence] derivative.

As his thoughts raced through his mind, Jiang Lai asked another question: "How did you know this information?"

"It's half guesswork and half speculation." Gojo Satoru raised his eyelids and said, "It's mainly due to Jay's information channels. He has almost penetrated into the core member group. Compared with the first round, the progress has leapt forward."

"Honestly, Jay's acting has improved so quickly," Gojo Satoru said. "But those guys in the regulatory agency are too cautious. They release information like squeezing toothpaste. Jay's guess about [the existence] came from him accidentally hearing them mention 'another level of power' during their conversation."

"No other information?"

"Not yet." Gojo Satoru spread his hands. "Jay said that if we dig deeper, we need to move up a level. He's working hard to get promoted."

Jiang Lai's mind was full of wild imagination for a moment: I didn't expect that the script in the second round of Jie's hand was "Career Upgrade Manual: From Discard to Core"!

Speaking of Geto, Jiang Lai couldn't help but ask again with concern: "By the way, what does Geto know about the road now..."

"Glass and I have made an agreement with Jay. We will help him find the right path, and before that, no one is allowed to run away first."

Gojo Satoru smiled, then put his fist to his lips, "Jay, the current thought should be - I haven't determined what is the greater good, but the regulatory board must die."

"Haha," Jiang Lai's eyes softened, "That's good, take your time."

The air became quiet again. The warm light of the winter sun shone through the gauze-like clouds and fell on the world. In the light, the fine dust feathers fluttering in the house were clearly visible.

Gojo Satoru scanned the room with his eyes and asked casually, "Come to think of it, are you adapting to human life, Ray?"

"Fortunately," Jiang Lai said lightly, "When I feel uncomfortable, I switch to a cursed spirit and stop being a human."

Gojo Satoru: “?”

Jiang Lai: "I'm kidding. I'm afraid of being exorcised after becoming a cursed spirit. It's not that I'm unfit to live as a human. I've been wandering around the world for so many years that I'm already familiar with it. And I'm learning."

"Learn?" Gojo Satoru laughed and asked in an inquiring and joking tone, "Hey, tell me the truth, if the thousand-year-old demon starts cooking, does the kitchen explode? It explodes, right? It must explode, right? What a pity that I didn't take a picture of you with the gray puffs——"

"Am I that stupid? The food encyclopedia will have instructions for cooking steps." Jiang Lai's eyes flickered and he replied with a smile, "In fact, in my opinion, human life is very interesting."

“Even in the daily life, we can still see different views. Just like the four seasons, behind the unchanging rules are new views every day.”

"You are quite open-minded and optimistic." Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and was silent for a second. "What are you going to do about the money problem?"

As the eldest son of the Gojo family, and the most talented sorcerer in the world of sorcery, Gojo Satoru has never had any financial problems. Money is just a number to him.

However, even though he has no financial worries, he also knows the significance of money in ordinary people's society.

Many negative emotions are caused by the various worries that come with living in the world without money.

How can an existence that is in harmony with nature get used to life and make money once it falls from the clouds to the human world?

It may be difficult to master the advanced technologies of human society in a short period of time, coupled with memory loss, lack of education and job experience...

He found it hard to imagine how the man before him had spent the first few months of human life.

I felt a little regretful in my heart that I didn't give my old friend some help earlier - even if it wasn't the scheduled meeting date, it would have been nice to give some help far in advance.

The other party wouldn't have to go through so much hardship.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru wanted to just throw a card to Jiang Lai and let him use it at will.

But on second thought, I felt that the person in front of me using a card tied to his or her identity in a shopping mall full of irises might attract the attention of the regulatory authorities.

Otherwise, I can withdraw some cash and give it to Lai. Gojo Satoru thought. Next time, I will bring a suitcase full of money.

Before he could even utter this suggestion, Jiang Lai replied, "Is it a matter of money? Don't worry, I'll write novels."

——This is true, but not entirely.

Jiang Lai's main source of money is to take on dark web missions with the hacking skills he honed in academia, but it's not easy to explain the source of his skills.

Therefore, Jiang Lai only mentioned writing novels as a source of income.

"...novel?" This answer was obviously a little unexpected. Gojo Satoru frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Huh? A thousand-year-old demon can also write novels? It can't be that kind of long-winded ancient prose - come, let me appreciate it for you."

"Are your novels serialized in newspapers and magazines, or on online platforms?"

"Online serial." Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone - the mobile phone is always as new as ever, like a newly bought device.

He found his online novel serial platform and showed it to the curious white-haired cat in front of him: "This one."

"Hmm... Detective Conan fanfiction?" Gojo Satoru said with a slight rise in his voice. "I didn't expect you'd read this. Your life is really rich."

Jiang Lai's inner thoughts: Not only have I seen it, but I have also experienced it. It is a true story.

"Of course." He nodded and replied, "Human life is really interesting. I like human culture."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed a note asking for leave saying "I have something to do" on his work page.

——After all, although only one day had nominally passed here, Jiang Lai's consciousness had been wandering in the first round for a long time, and there were still many things to do after returning, so he needed to take a few days off.

[Hey? I just saw something exciting, why did you ask for leave? QAQ——]

[My heart broke when I saw the leave request...]

[Author, what’s up! (shaking.jpg) You’re not allowed to ask for leave unless it’s something as important as saving the world!]

Saving the world... Jiang Lai frowned and coughed inwardly. Well, in a sense, what he had taken leave to do was indeed a big thing of saving the world.

Before he quit, he suddenly caught sight of a series of rewards that came unexpectedly!

A new user with the id [最强甜品N次力] flooded the screen with endless rewards.

Jiang Lai was stunned for a second, then looked up in astonishment——

In front of him, the white-haired young man was in a casual posture, holding a mobile phone that he had taken out at some point in one hand, and randomly tapping on the screen:

"In that case, the perfect teacher will support your career. Don't be too moved. Just say thank you a hundred times."

"...Thank you, Wu." Jiang Lai's eyes were half-mooned, "But, I can only say thank you once."

Gojo Satoru's support is very practical and substantial. He doesn't care about spending money and is always generous to the friends and students he cares about.

In order not to attract unnecessary attention, he also invested a lot of money in other works nearby.

After a brief interlude, Gojo Satoru put away his phone, looked at Jiang Lai with his blue eyes, his expression became focused again, and his words were a little heavy:

"So, what are you going to do, Ry? I mean - life afterward."

After that? Jiang Lai blinked, not understanding Gojo Satoru's meaning for a moment.

"The prophecy made them search around me," Gojo Satoru said with a hint of annoyance, and continued to clean up with arrogance, "They found you before - this time, it won't be so easy."

"As for the Regulatory Commission, just leave it to me and Jie." The white-haired young man said, "Although you no longer exist... but in the end, you are still a little different."

"Although you wore a mask when you were at the Zenin family, if you appear next to me again in the future, they might recall the past and have some associations. Therefore, for safety reasons, I do not recommend that you have direct contact with me."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lai paused for a moment: It's a pity that disguise is meaningless in the curse circle. After all, everyone relies on curse power to recognize each other.

Although I have a feather necklace, it is too obvious and the blurriness makes it difficult to get the exact proportions right every time. It is not suitable for fixed identity disguise.

It would be nice if there was another way to switch identities that was in line with the world of magic. Jiang Lai thought imaginatively. Logically speaking, the disguise technique should also be upgraded to a magic skill, right?

In front of him, Gojo Satoru continued to speak, slightly raising his head, and his beautiful blue eyes swept over. He raised a finger and shook it:

"If you want to live a quiet life away from the disputes, I have a lot of secret properties here. The helpful handsome man Gojo can provide you with housing for free~~"

What should I do in the future... Jiang Lai's mind was in a state of confusion. He always knew that escaping was useless.

But how to arrange the plan specifically still needs to be decided. Jiang Lai plans to browse the information on his mobile phone first, and then decide where to go next.

So, he showed a hesitant look on his face, smiled gently and said, "I want to think about it, Wu. Give me a day, can we meet tomorrow?"

"Wait, why see you tomorrow again?" Gojo Satoru said with a long tail tone, "You used this phrase to deceive me for more than ten years last time - you do it again, are you testing my temper?" A subtle alert appeared in his blue eyes as he stared at the person in front of him.

"Don't worry, I won't disappear suddenly this time." Jiang Lai coughed and said sincerely, "I really want to consider it, and see you tomorrow. It's not just a rhetoric."

The white-haired young man did not reply. On his face was that nonchalant smile as usual, and his eyes were flashing with curiosity to determine the truth.

Jiang Lai sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say see you tomorrow. Then - see you tomorrow?"

Gojo Satoru: “?”

——

In the end, Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru agreed to meet the next day, when Jiang Lai would tell Gojo Satoru what he thought.

Gojo Satoru cleaned up the mess before leaving, and then disappeared in an instant, quietly and lightly. He was so cautious to avoid the attention of the supervisor.

Only after Gojo Satoru left did Jiang Lai have time to continue looking at his phone.

Before opening his phone and finding the online novel serial platform, Jiang Lai first reported to the group that he was safe, so that his worried science friends would no longer be nervous.

At this moment, he returned to the group chat and saw that the number of messages had reached 99+.

Jiang Lai typed out responses to the concerns of his science friends, offering comfort and reassurance so that everyone no longer had to worry.

The scientific friends in the group complained bitterly about the new series of comic strips that were not about being human.

It is unclear whether Kurosawa Akira was serious or joking when he said, "If the world consciousness had not prevented the insiders from meeting, he would have gone directly to the author's small dark room to paint on the spot."

Matsuda Jinpei seemed to be deeply moved, and he continued to express his thoughts:

[It was really frustrating when the chapter was interrupted! You don’t know, the first time it was interrupted was when you were stabbed in the neck, it was so scary! Fortunately, I was off work at that time, otherwise I would have been so confused that I couldn’t handle the documents at all - and then in the next chapter, I saw that you were fine, so we were relieved.]

[Then, we didn’t feel relieved for long, because the next chapter was interrupted by your heart being dug out, and my heart stopped! Seriously, it must have been painful, right?! ——In the next chapter, there was a dialogue, and you said that you would be fine, so we felt relieved again.]

[Then, there was another break on December 25, 2017 when you didn’t appear. In the comics, they acted as if they would never see you again. We really thought you had sacrificed yourself again! We were really worried to death! ——We were relieved when you reappeared in the next chapter.]

Morofushi Jingguang added: [Although we hope you are okay, but if you really are... Sorry, anyway, we don't want you to have a bad time in the afterlife. So, we sincerely burned incense for you at that time.]

Jiang Lai:?

Kurosawa Akira added: [Such sit-up incidents caused me to move from the post of worshiper in the research institute several times.]

Kenji Hagihara continued: [Oh, so that’s how it is. No wonder one time when I went to your institute, a researcher tried to ask me if you had a relative or friend who had died repeatedly.]

Jiang Lai: ???

[#Good Luck Lai Lin#: ...Thank you everyone, I am very touched, very touched, but there is really no need to burn incense! (The little cat rolls and becomes praiseworthy.gif)]

After finally feeling relieved, the friends and relatives of Science became particularly lively in the group. Then, after a certain joke was over, the topic returned to serious matters.

[#大貓的貓胡子#: By the way, Jiang Lai, is your memory complete now? Do you still remember the story from yesterday? The story of Gojo Satoru back then?]

Jiang Lai paused for a moment, somewhat surprised by the question. He replied: [? Why do you suddenly ask this? Of course I remember.]

[#大貓的貓胡子#: That's good. Well... because we read the comics first. The scenes depicted in the comics are like you have lost your memories after restarting the world...]

Huh? Jiang Lai blinked and thought about it.

Generally speaking, comics do not draw every detail for the sake of story and drama.

It seems that this time, some kind of narrative technique was used to capture the misunderstanding and describe it in fragments?

It was probably because of the joke I made at the beginning of this reunion, pretending not to know him.

Jiang Lai made a guess in his mind. Very good, the underworld filter can be equipped to facilitate subsequent operations.

He replied in the group, then left the family group chat, planning to go see how the comics presented this major event.
