Chapter 61 New Guardian
After mastering the ability to switch identities, Jiang Lai first chatted with his family members in the world of science, informed them of the specific situation, and gave them advance previews of the plot developments.
Then, the next day, before the appointed time, Jiang Laiqie changed into the vest of the little sheep Watanabe Weilai and sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for the arrival of Liuyan's driver.
He didn't just sit there idly. He picked up a Japanese first-year junior high school textbook in his hand, supported his chin with one hand, and browsed through the pages one by one.
The room was very quiet, and the ticking sound of the wall clock was clearly audible.
Jiang Lai finished reading the current page and turned the page. Along with the sound of turning pages, a black figure happened to appear beside him.
——It’s Gojo Satoru.
I don’t know where the other party came from, but it wasn’t the front gate.
Jiang Lai raised his head, and his eyes met those blue eyes - Gojo Satoru, who came to see him today, was not wearing an eye patch, and his beautiful six eyes were staring at him very directly.
The little sheep Jiang Lai blinked gently, put on a brilliant smile, and took the lead in greeting: "Uncle, are you here to steal something?"
"Uncle?!" Gojo Satoru made a V sign under his chin and said in an awkward tone, "Please, please, I'm a super handsome guy who will always be 18 years old, okay? How could I be that lousy old man?"
"Okay uncle, then uncle, are you here to steal something?" The little sheep Jiang Lai still smiled brightly, with the innocence and cunning of a young child.
"I'm here to eat children, specifically children like you who call handsome guys 'uncle'~~" the white-haired teacher snorted, pretending to move his fingers, "Let your parents come to my stomach to find you——"
"You can eat me," the brown-haired boy clasped the junior high school textbook in his hands and replied seriously, "but it will cost extra."
"Your parent, Mr. Lai, already owes me 1.8 billion. Let your parent pay me back first and then I will pay you back."
"When did I owe you 1.8 billion?" Jiang Lai stopped role-playing at this moment. He left his little sheep identity and raised his eyebrows to retort.
There was a hint of surprise in Gojo Satoru's eyes, and then he raised his voice: "Oh——?" He didn't rush to say anything.
"Hey, it's me, Lai." Jiang Lai used his mobile phone to switch his body shape on the spot, making Gojo Satoru believe that the person in front of him was the real person. Then he raised his head, "When did I owe you 1.8 billion?" he said half-jokingly.
"The strongest sorcerer's reward is very high. You made me wait for so many years in vain, you should at least give me some compensation for my mental damage." Gojo Satoru laughed and said casually, "1.8 billion, it's not too high, it's a friendship price~~"
"I'm going to sue you for fraud and extortion, Satoru."
"Hey, the old monster actually mastered these legal skills?"
The jokes stopped here. Jiang Lai raised his eyes and asked, "Okay, let's talk business. Did you recognize me when you used your six eyes just now?"
"Hmm... how should I put it." Gojo Satoru put his right hand on his lips, "The feedback from the Six Eyes is very objective. It is unfamiliar data that I have never seen before, not the familiar cursed power."
Unfamiliar data? It seems that switching the vest will also switch the magic power. Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief. Then he can open the vest without worry.
"It's just that my sixth sense tells me that you look familiar to me, especially when you called me uncle." Gojo Satoru continued, moving closer, "Is this your revenge for me calling you uncle when I was seven years old? I say, a thousand-year-old demon shouldn't hold a grudge like that, or you'll become ugly."
"Who is holding a grudge?" Jiang Lai frowned, "It's not me."
Then he continued, "Since the Six Eyes gave you unfamiliar data, why did you continue the conversation so naturally?"
"You have to ask around when someone shows up at your house, right?" Gojo Satoru said. "Besides, although I didn't fully recognize you at the time, I had a feeling that you looked familiar, so I thought that this young boy was a derivative of you... just like that stupid fox."
Here, the white-haired young man paused for a second, and the smile on his face widened: "You know, I also want to say that you are so fertile--"
Jiang Lai twitched his lips: "Hey, go away, Wu. What kind of expression is this?"
"Don't worry about the details~" Gojo Satoru shook his finger, his eyes full of interest, "But I didn't expect you to be able to change your body by yourself. How did you do that? You're obviously already..." He paused, "no longer exists."
"Yes, I am not a complete [existence]." Jiang Lai nodded, and said in an unclear way, "But not all my abilities have been lost."
Since he couldn't explain in detail the origin of this vest, he simply continued to turn on the riddle teller mode and responded with this ambiguous statement.
"In that case, can you turn into a butter potato? Edamame-flavored Kikufuku? The cufflinks on the uniform of the technical college?" He circled around Jiang Lai, his tone oscillating from time to time, "Or a tree on the roadside, or a light bulb on the street?"
"...Of course not, there are conditions." Jiang Lai interrupted Gojo Satoru's question and answered, "Currently, there is only this form switch."
“Ah—” Gojo Satoru dragged out the last syllable, “What a pity, I can’t turn into something else.”
"Although this is the only form change currently, there may be others in the future."
Jiang Lai spoke calmly with a gentle tone.
"If one day you can't find me, I might have just switched to a different form."
"I will become a cloud, snow, sunlight, a line of touching words in your book, a breeze that gently brushes your cheeks when you are tired, or a blade of grass beside the wet soil you pass by after the rain - perhaps you cannot recognize me like this, but in fact, I will always be with you."
Jiang Lai has always known that the world of spells is very dangerous. He cannot guarantee that he will be the winner in the end.
If things go wrong, at least he hopes to leave a glimmer of hope for his partners so that they don't have to be too sad.
"..." After hearing Jiang Lai's words, Gojo Satoru fell silent again.
After a long pause, he said, "Ah, if that's the case, I'll start destroying flowers, plants and trees."
Jiang Lai: “?”
"Since you said you might turn into a blade of grass, I will step on the grass. Before I step on your head, you will definitely jump out, right?" Gojo Satoru said with a nonchalant tone, "But even if I step on you, you can't beat me~~"
Jiang Lai gave a half-helpless look and didn't insist on saying anything.
Gojo Satoru quickly moved on to the next sentence: "You'd better not switch to other forms. These two are good enough - at least I can find you clearly."
"...Don't worry." Jiang Lai smiled and nodded, "Under normal circumstances, I switch between these two styles."
"For safety reasons, I need you to keep this a secret and cooperate with me, Wu."
"I understand." Gojo Satoru put away some of his joking nature, his blue eyes focused, and he nodded and said, "What are your plans?"
Jiang Lai explained his plan to Gojo Satoru in a clear and logical manner, and pointed out his overall intention - to use the sheep vest to contact the humans in the curse world, and to use his true body to contact the curse spirits.
At the end, Jiang Lai also said: "In addition, I have recently been learning about human electronic technology. In the information age, this skill seems to be quite useful. And I found that I am very talented."
He took precautions to prevent himself from displaying advanced hacking skills in the future.
"Not bad, I didn't expect that a thousand-year-old demon could keep up with the times. Why are those rotten oranges in the world of sorcery still so corrupt?" Gojo Satoru saw the opportunity and complained about the senior management, "I really don't know what's in those guys' heads."
After saying a few words, Gojo Satoru once again fixed his gaze on Jiang Lai: "You just told me that your identity is [Watanabe Weilai], but you haven't told me the most important technique yet."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lai was a little surprised. "I thought your six eyes could see it?"
He was still hoping to learn the Little Sheep technique from Gojo Satoru!
"In theory, it should be possible. But probably because your situation is rather special, the six eyes did not give me accurate information feedback." Gojo Satoru touched his chin and asked curiously, "So what is your technique?"
Jiang Lai was silent for two seconds, touched his nose and said, "Maybe... I haven't awakened yet."
"Not awakened?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrow slightly, "Normally speaking, the age of awakening is usually six or seven years old."
He took a step forward, raised his hand and ruffled the curly hair of Little Lamb Vest, and said in a deliberately lazy tone: "It seems that you are a - a super invincible idiot."
Jiang Lai, who was wearing a sheep vest, pounced on Gojo Satoru's hand and said, "As a teacher, you should encourage your students more, okay? You are such a bad adult, Satoru."
"That's sad. I'm a super hot teacher with a 100% favorable comment rate!" The white-haired young man put on a cool pose and said perfunctorily, "It's okay, it's okay. I believe you still have room for improvement."
"So, are you going to technical high school?" Gojo Satoru asked, his eyelashes fluttering. "Even though you look like a junior high school freshman, it's not impossible for you to skip a grade, or simply explain it by saying you look younger."
Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and replied, "Not for now."
The management of the Jujutsu High School is quite strict, and generally all entries and exits are recorded, making it inconvenient for one to flexibly switch identities to cause trouble.
Moreover, Gojo Satoru alone at the technical high school is enough to collect clues and intelligence.
For now, Jiang Lai plans to explore it first in ordinary human society.
Unlike the relatively clean environment of the Jujutsu College, the society is a mixed bag of people and information is complicated, which is conducive to conducting transactions and collecting various intelligence.
So he told Gojo Satoru his thoughts.
"Well, that's fine." Gojo Satoru followed his thoughts and said, "My next mission happens to be in a very remote village. There was a village destruction incident there. Because of the remote location and the fact that the people there are relatively closed, the government can't even compile complete household registration information."
"So, I can say that you are a survivor from there." He said, "After I exorcised the cursed spirit, I saw that although you are stupid, you have the potential to be a sorcerer, so I pulled you out and brought you back."
That should be possible. Jiang Lai nodded. This solved the problem of origin.
"Oh, by the way, do you need a guardian? Someone from the world of curse." Gojo Satoru asked with a slightly raised voice.
Guardian... Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and felt that it was still necessary.
Otherwise, minors of this age would generally be sent to an orphanage - who knows, a supervisory board might come and adopt them. Before he figured out the procedure, he didn't want to have direct contact with the supervisory board.
"I think so. An adult with a regular schedule and who is reliable." Jiang Lai said, "No need to be too enthusiastic, just someone who looks serious on weekdays will do."
The guardian's daily routine makes it easier for him to keep track of the guardian's whereabouts, and then switch identities when the guardian is not at home.
If you are relatively serious and businesslike, you won't be too concerned about your daily whereabouts.
After hearing Jiang Lai's request, Gojo Satoru thought for a moment, tapped the palm of his right hand with his left hand, and suddenly realized: "There is one that fits perfectly!"
——
the other side.
When Nanami Kento heard the message alert, he subconsciously opened his phone and took a look.
It is a message from Gojo Satoru.
[Hello, hi, are you at home, Nanami?
Do you want to have a child? Are you still hesitating? Good news, good news. No need to wait, no need to pay, the Guanyin of Childbirth will come immediately--!! (Cool stars flashing)】
