Chapter 64: Elves and Kyubey

The situation was urgent and time was limited, so Jiang Lai looked at the page on his mobile phone and made a decision directly, choosing the elf he used most often.

There was a flash of light, and suddenly an agile figure leaped out of the air!

The leaping elf's limbs and body are a bit like a large cat. Its overall color is light green. Its two large ears, which are longer than a rabbit's, are covered with white fur at the tips, and its tail is in the shape of a magical leaf.

"Yeli beast...!?"

Yoshino Junpei's eyes widened in shock, and he murmured subconsciously.

Although his usual hobbies are movies, he has also played a few games.

This is a very famous Pokémon adventure game, and Junpei Yoshino has played it several times. Yelimon is one of the initial Pokémon that can be selected at the beginning and is also the Pokémon that appears on various promotional posters.

What is happening?!

In addition, there was another figure at the scene.

Leaping onto the ground was a cute pink-colored creature, and its appearance and name were exactly the same as Kyubey, the "evil-doer" from a certain depressing magical girl anime!

This is a deliberate design of this Pokemon game. They bought the image rights of Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica and made Kyubey the player guide character of this Pokemon adventure game. It makes people want to complain.

At this moment, Jiang Lai was a little surprised by the appearance of the guiding character. He didn't expect that this technique would be so restored -

After landing, Qiubi looked up and saw Jiang Lai. He was actually a little surprised: "... Weilai?"

"?!" Jiang Lai was surprised that the other party knew his name, and he felt familiar with this gentle child's voice.

It only took him half a second to react before he recalled: "Noah's Ark? Hongshu?!"

——Noah's Ark is an artificial intelligence that carries the consciousness of Hiroki Sawada. In fact, it can also be regarded as an electronic version of Hiroki himself. He is a friend of Jiang Lai's sheep pseudonym in the scientific world, but he also knows Jiang Lai's true self under the pseudonym.

"It's me." Hiroki, who was in the form of Kyubey, nodded in reply. However, the situation before him was obviously not the time to recount or inquire about the situation. He quickly adapted to his image as a guide and said instinctively, "I'll explain the rest later. Now, use your phone to fight!"

Jiang Lai saw the Lv1 level display on the elf's head, as well as the health bar and blue bar on the screen.

In the game, my elf has been upgraded to the highest level. However, the level of the elf summoned by the spell is different from that in the game.

After all, the game is just a simulation carrier, and the real technique and the game are naturally separate.

But since this technique is a simulated game, referring to the game situation, this elf can not only be upgraded, but also evolved!

However, the direction of evolution and whether it will be successful or not are uncertain, which is also a major feature of this game.

At this moment, after comprehending the technique in a short time, Jiang Lai no longer thought too much and focused on the battle in front of him!

Although there are many cursed spirits in front of him, most of them are low-level cursed spirits approaching. The only one of higher level is the spider-like cursed spirit with many arms and legs that is entwined in the center.

This game is not a turn-based game. Players are required to control the elves and fight flexibly.

Jiang Lai simply dropped his schoolbag, held the phone in both hands, and used his gaming skills to control the Ye Li beast, launching a counterattack in the narrow corridor!

Yoshino Junpei was standing behind the brown-haired boy, holding onto the wall with one hand, his legs still a little weak.

He looked at the game scene in disbelief, feeling that it was just a dream before his death.

The pink and white Kyubey Hiroki jumped to Yoshino Junpei's side. He was thoughtful and knew that the one who needed company and protection at this time was not Jiang Lai, but this young man.

"What are you daydreaming about, senior?" The brown-haired boy did not just stand there and operate, he was also moving flexibly, adjusting his vision and the court, and at this time he took a step back to the side of Yoshino Junpei.

"Did you make a call?" He blinked. "I charge by the second, and the price goes up for every extra minute. Kouhiro Hiroki's companionship fee will also be charged by the hour."

"Huh?" Yoshino Junpei was a little confused when he heard this, but he still grasped the key point. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and said, "I, I'll call now...!"

Jiang Lai once again looked ahead. The elves upgraded very quickly in the early stages. At this moment, after manipulating and killing several low-level cursed spirits, its level had reached LV10. This level was the beginning of the ability to use the initial ultimate move.

Leafmon is a grass-type Pokémon. In this game, its ultimate attack is relatively weak, but its attack area is relatively wide. It is very suitable for the situation where there are many low-level spell spirits.

After Yoshino Junpei hurriedly finished his phone call, he looked up and saw a scene of flying leaves all over the sky. The light green leaf beast stood firmly on one side, and the [Swift Wind Grass] swept through the corridor like an autumn wind!

The wailing sounds of the low-level cursed spirits rang in his ears, and the rising wind lifted the brown-haired boy's braid. He raised one arm to symbolically block the wind, while his other hand continued to move flexibly to summon another spirit.

A cute white ball that looked very harmless jumped out lightly, but when it fell into the hands of the brown-haired boy, it turned into a pure white crossbow.

Yoshino Junpei widened his eyes slightly, staring without blinking as the brown-haired boy stood powerfully, his hands steady, and shot out the arrow that flashed with different colors!

The arrow that was aimed at the abdomen of the multi-armed, multi-legged spider-like cursed spirit exploded the moment it suddenly penetrated!

This time, of course, was the effect of Jiang Lai's own injection of a large amount of magical power - this white elf was an auxiliary elf without a level mark. It could change its weapon form and assist other elves or players. The ability of the elves depended on the person being assisted.

The spider curse spirit was of a higher level, so Jiang Lai specially summoned this spirit, held it in his hand, injected thick curse power, and delivered the final blow!

Kyubey Hiroki is a game guide and can choose to disappear or not. He wanted to say something, but after a few seconds, he seemed to decide to talk in detail in private when he had more free time.

"I'm going back first, Weilai." Hongshu said, "See you later."

"Okay." Little sheep Jiang Lai nodded. This was indeed not a good time for a long chat.

The foul odor of the cursed spirits at the scene dissipated a little, but the bloody odor of the bodies of the murdered students began to waft again.

Fortunately, Junpei Yoshino had watched many horror movies in the past, so he could withstand such scenes.

What's more, the people who died before his eyes were the bullies who had just bullied him - Yoshino Junpei, so he had no psychological burden.

He exhaled a few breaths with trembling hands to calm himself down. Hearing the sirens outside the window, he stumbled forward a few steps, grabbed Jiang Lai's clothes, took a deep breath and said:

"Please...please teach me the move just now! Please!!"

His eyes were full of sincerity, and the high school boy who was bullied on campus longed to master this power.

If possible, Jiang Lai actually wanted to help Yoshino Junpei who was bullied at school.

However, he knew that this power could not be learned by others just by agreeing to teach him.

According to the original setting, Yoshino Junpei was only able to see the cursed spirits recently. But in fact, he does not have the brain of a magician.

Unless the brain is transformed, it is impossible to master the technique - or like Zenin Maki, use cursed tools and rely purely on physical techniques. But this requires hard work and long-term training.

In fact, Jiang Lai thinks that if Junpei Yoshino really wants to join the world of sorcery, he might be more suitable for the non-combat position of [Window].

Moreover, if the other party really joined [Window], they would have a trustworthy figure in the detection agency of the magic world. Jiang Lai was sure that [Window] also had people from the regulatory committee.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Lai did not respond for the time being. He just continued to maintain the outer shell of the little sheep, blinking his eyes and saying:

"Then you have to pay this time first, then we can talk about the next time~"

"This time..." Yoshino Junpei was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly began to rummage through the wallet in his pocket, "Sorry,! May I ask--"

As he moved, the purple marks on his arms reappeared.

"For the sake of our classmate, I'll give you a discount. My appearance fee plus Kyubey Hiroki's companionship fee is $50 per second. Thank you for your patronage~"

$50 a second? ! Yoshino Junpei froze on the spot.

"I told you, my prices are very expensive, this is still a bargain." The brown-haired boy said with a smile, and it was unclear whether he was joking or serious. "How about it, senior? Do you want to pay with cash or bank card?"

At this moment, Yoshino Junpei couldn't tell whether the brown-haired boy in front of him was the benefactor who saved him, or some kind of extortionist who was just a variation of this.

But no matter what, the other party saved me...

He grabbed his wallet and whispered, "I'm sorry, I don't have that much money. Can I, can I——"

"Then pay it back slowly. There's no rush for now." The brown-haired boy took a few steps forward and walked to his side, raising his dark eyes. "Before the debt is paid off, just follow me - I'll teach you something else."

Yoshino Junpei's heart moved, and he looked over suddenly.

"I can't teach you the elf skills I mentioned earlier, but I should be able to teach you some electronic technology. I have a high talent and can learn a lot very quickly."

"Since you are my subordinate, you must address me as BOSS from now on." The brown-haired boy raised his head and straightened his chest with dignity. "As a BOSS, I will not let my subordinates suffer any grievances."

"After all, only with excellent skills and a healthy body can we better serve our boss." Little Sheep Jiang Lai smiled playfully. He picked up his schoolbag and put it on his back again. "Work harder and pay off the debt soon!"

Yoshino Junpei's heart was pounding, he understood the meaning behind the brown-haired boy's words.

Although on the surface they were calling each other "paying off a debt" and "boss and subordinate", in fact, hidden in the jokes and conversations was the concern and help for him.

——It means that the other party will protect you in the future and teach you some additional skills.

"Um, I...thank you..." Yoshino Junpei clenched his wallet, his lips moved, his emotions intertwined and collided, and his words stuttered.

"Not bad, not bad. Needless to say, it's great that you have this realization in your heart." The brown-haired boy blinked and looked down at his phone. "Come, tell me your email address, and I'll send you the learning materials later. I'll try to let you learn as soon as possible and earn some money for me, the boss~"

Just as Yoshino Junpei finished talking about the mailbox with the brown-haired boy, he heard noisy footsteps coming from the stairs - the police were coming quickly!

Beside him, the little sheep Jiang Lai had also heard the sound a long time ago.

He didn't want to attract the extra attention of the ordinary police and waste time explaining. It's better to keep it simple if possible.

So, he immediately stopped smiling, put his phone in his pocket, and clung to Yoshino Junpei's arm, looking like a trembling, tearful little schoolboy:

"Ooooooh, this scene is so scary... What happened..."

Yoshino Junpei: ????

Yoshino Junpei was so shocked by this 180-degree change that his expression went blank.

Jiang Lai (innocent, scared, crying): To avoid trouble, start acting right on the spot! .jpg

——

The horrific corpse dismemberment case in front of them was not something that two teenagers could have done. The police system also had personnel who were specifically responsible for coordinating such bizarre incidents, and they notified the people in the magic world as soon as possible.

The little sheep Jiang Lai and Yoshino Junpei were taken away, and after a brief questioning and comfort, they were released.

When I got home, Kento Nanami hadn't gotten off work yet.

Jiang Lai sat on the sofa and summoned Kyubey Hiroki through a ritual.

He was holding the plush pink and white Cupid in his arms, and after some fun, he was just about to have a detailed conversation with the other party when he heard the sound of the door unlocking.

He looked up.

Standing outside the door was Nanami Kento, and there was also a boy with short pink hair - Itadori Yuji.

"Hello, Watanabe-kun!" Yuji Itadori was the first to greet him. He had heard of Watanabe Weilai from Nanami Kento.

The young man smiled brightly and introduced himself: "I am Yuji Itadori. I'm sorry to trouble you for the next few days. I will be staying here temporarily..."

"Yuji-san just received a notice to carry out this mission with me." Nanami Kento said, "They will live here together during the mission."

Mission? Could it be——Jiang Lai immediately thought of the incident at Urasakura School today.

The sudden appearance of such a large number of cursed spirits could not be a coincidence. There must be some reason behind it.

The Jujutsu world was also very quick. After learning about this incident, they immediately sent people over.

"I have received a call from the police. Are you okay today?" Nanami Kento had already learned about the situation from the phone call and paid special attention to the little sheep Jiang Lai when he entered the door, but he still asked again in person.

"I'm fine." Little sheep Jiang Lai lifted up Qiu Bihongshu who was covered by the pillow, "Look! What is this——"

"Wow, a living Kyubey!" Yuji Itadori's eyes sparkled, "Is this that game—"

Nanami Kento's focus was on another aspect: "Have you awakened the technique?"

"That's right." Little Sheep Jiang Lai nodded, "I have newly awakened the ritual, which is the embodiment of that elf adventure game."

"Cool!" Yuji Itadori walked briskly. He took three or two steps forward, excited. "Isn't that super interesting? Are there other elves? This Kyubey is so cute--"

Kyubey Hiroki has a very good personality. He tilted his head back and smiled, then pressed his ears deliberately to signal the other party that he could touch him.

"Do you want to touch it, Brother Itadori?" the brown-haired boy asked with a bright smile.

"Ah, is it really possible?" Yuji Itadori was ready to make a move, and just as he stretched out his hand, he heard the brown-haired boy add a sentence.

"——Not expensive, 100 dollars per session."

Yuji Itadori: “?”

He suddenly stopped moving!

The brown-haired boy chuckled again: "Just kidding, I won't take your small amount of money for now~ After all, there is still a young master of the Chanyuan family who was cheated out of 1.8 billion."

"The Zenin family." Nanami Kento frowned. When he mentioned Master Zenin, his first thought was Zenin Naoya. "Zenin Naoya was cheated out of 1.8 billion? When did it happen?"

Little Sheep Jiang Lai: "What will happen in the future."

Nanami Kento: “…”
