Chapter 65 Jiang Lai: ...Do I know Sukuna?

Jiang Lai's words seemed to be a joke, but in fact they were mixed with a bit of seriousness.

After all, he was going to start from both humans and cursed spirits, and on the human side, money was definitely the key necessity to get through the process.

Gojo Satoru himself is very rich, but Jiang Lai plans to make money on his own if he can, so as not to trouble his friends too much.

On the one hand, Jiang Lai himself is not a member of the "extortion party" and prefers to solve his own problems by himself.

On the other hand, when Gojo Satoru uses a credit card to spend money, whether it is his own money or the Gojo family's, there is a chance that the Gojo family knows part of it. This kind of fund flow is always a little risky.

As for the future, whether or not to really defraud Caiyun Pig of the Zen Temple's money... Jiang Lai touched his chin.

To be honest, he had no moral responsibility to take money from feudal Zen monks, especially from the despicable Naoya.

But I haven’t thought about the details yet, we’ll see when the time comes!

Nanami Kento seemed to take the little sheep Jiang Lai's words as a joke, and his focus was on another aspect: "You have contact with the Zenin family?"

"When I was playing the game, I was matched with an unfriendly teammate." Little Sheep Jiang Lai winked playfully, "I just wanted to see who the opponent was, so I used some tricks to locate him - I found out that he was at the Zenin family in Kyoto. Through that arrogant tone, I blindly guessed that he was a spoiled eldest son."

The location of the Zenin family base was no secret. Nanami Kento nodded to show that he knew.

He did not interfere with Little Mianyang Jiang Lai's friendships, but simply reminded him: "Not all people in the Yu San family are good people."

He did not raise any doubts about the "little technique" mentioned by the brown-haired boy.

Because during these days, Jiang Lai had intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he was studying this technology on a daily basis and making rapid progress, so he had already taken precautions in advance.

The little sheep Jiang Lai blinked his eyes and nodded in reply: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me."

This is very interesting. Nanami Kento raised his eyes slightly and scanned them. It's not "I won't provoke you", but "I won't be bullied by you".

——But from this point of view, there is a bit of Gojo Satoru's usual carefree and relaxed personality.

It can't be the influence of Gojo Satoru taking Watanabe with him during those first few days. It turns out that role model education is very important for adolescent boys. Nanami Kento thought expressionlessly.

Next to him, Yuji Itadori was still interacting with Kyubey Hiroki with great interest. He has a lively and friendly personality and can get along well with both people and animals.

Nanami Kento simply packed up his things and said to Itadori Yuji: "Let's go to the scene and take a look."

"Okay!" Yuji Itadori stopped interacting and jumped up with great energy.

Little sheep Jiang Lai raised his hand: "I want to go too!"

"You can't go." Nanami Kento replied calmly, "Just because you've awakened a technique doesn't mean you can use it proficiently. You still have a lot of room to learn."

"I am actually a gifted person. Although I wake up late, I am very skilled once I wake up~"

"Surveying the scene is also a risky thing. If something unexpected happens, we won't be able to protect you in time." Nanami Kento said, "Please don't give us another mission."

"Actually, I don't need you to protect me..." The brown-haired boy pouted, but still nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll do my homework at home."

After the two left home, Jiang Lai hugged Hongshu Qiubi and sorted out his thoughts.

In fact, he was not surprised by this result. Even if he had awakened the technique, Nanami Kento would not rashly take a junior high school student to a dangerous scene.

Jiang Lai briefly recalled what happened not long ago and thought about it.

Those cursed spirits didn't seem to be born in Uta-Sakura High School, but seemed to be attracted away - if that's the case, there must be something unusual inside Uta-Sakura School.

Guess 1. Ryomen Sukuna's finger.

In the original book, this special cursed item is something that attracts a large number of cursed spirits. However, if it is really Ryomen Sukuna's finger, then who put it in Uta-sakura High School recently, and what is the purpose?

An ordinary middle school is not worth so much fuss and trouble.

Another possibility is that the finger was originally here, but was sealed. Recently, the seal loosened, thus attracting the cursed spirit.

Jiang Lai touched his chin and felt that this guess was possible.

In addition, the second guess is that there are other things there that are not special magic items such as fingers.

In addition to the special grade cursed items attracting cursed spirits, in the new series, the damaged [existence] also seems to attract cursed spirits. Jiang Lai pondered. Could it be his fate?

No. He immediately denied this idea. The phone's vest switching is very complete, and the sheep vest is a genuine ordinary sorcerer boy.

Therefore, it is impossible that my divinity was damaged and leaked at this time, thus attracting cursed spirits.

So, is it a fragment of a damaged godhead from some other [existence]? Jiang Lai made a guess.

But this brings us back to the original question: Why was it only recently sensed by the cursed spirit, but everything was calm before?

With thoughts running through his mind, Jiang Lai kept this question in mind for the time being, intending to make further deductions once he had more information.

At this moment, he turned his attention back to the newly awakened technique and Kyubey Hiroki.

Hongshu was a meticulous person. As soon as he noticed that Jiang Lai was thinking, he did not disturb him. He lay quietly on Jiang Lai's lap, feeling warm like a small stove.

At this moment, when Jiang Lai came out of his contemplation, he smiled and trembled his pointed ears: "Jiang Lai, I never thought that we would meet in this way this time."

Hongshu could naturally observe that this was not the world he was in, but another world.

"Yeah, I was surprised too. But just call me Weilai for now." Jiang Lai said, "Your current situation is——"

"It's the same as when you left. I'm now free to roam the Internet and have made many friends online." Hongshu Qiubi looked very happy, his big fluffy tail wagging. "The charity foundation we set up together is also going well."

Jiang Lai was also very happy to hear the news. His eyebrows were raised.

Then, Kyubey Hiroki continued: "Just now, I was playing this game, and suddenly I felt a certain summons. Because I felt it was new, I responded, and then I came to your side."

This Pokémon adventure game is also available in the Science World. After the organization was destroyed, Jiang Lai played it a few times with his friends.

That was why, after coming to the world of Jujutsu and discovering that this game also existed there, he downloaded it with great interest.

Speaking of which, since Hongshu can come here, then other scientific friends can also appear in the form of summoned beasts, right? Jiang Lai thought jokingly in his mind. Or, it would be nice if scientific friends could provide remote assistance.

Hiroki Kubi blinked his oval eyes and tilted his head slightly: "Can you still contact us now?"

"Sure." Jiang Lai nodded, "I have been in contact with Matsuda and the others."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lai took out his cell phone again, intending to tell his scientific friend about his current technique.

Just at this moment, he noticed a new email from Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Jiang Lai looked carefully and saw the information about Fūya Rei's return.

Furuya Rei was indeed on a secret mission during that time, and recently returned from a successful mission. After handing in the materials, he had a small gathering with Matsuda and Keimitsu. At that time, Hagiwara Kenji happened to be back in his hometown to visit his sister, so he was not in Tokyo.

At the party, Morofushi Kagemitsu told Furiya Rei about Jiang Lai's journey through the world of curse.

There are comics and chats to prove this, and it is obvious that this is not a joke.

Fūya Ling was a little surprised at first, then he smiled, and after caring about Jiang Lai's current situation, he mentioned the little lamb again.

He said that he happened to see the cover of a comic book at a convenience store not long ago, and he thought the brown-haired boy looked familiar. Now, if time travel really exists, maybe the other person has also been reincarnated into another world.

Speaking of this, Matsuda Jinpei rubbed the cup with his fingertips, coughed, and said:

"Ahem, Furuya, well, since you believe in time travel, do you believe in resurrection from the dead, and creation out of nothing?"

Furuya Rei: “?”

Matsuda Jinpei and Morofushi Kagemitsu were both aware that Xiao Mianyang was Jiang Lai's alias.

It's just that this vest is not easy to explain, so I have been helping to keep it secret. Including in the family group that Hagiwara joined, they didn't mention this, and they all talked about it with Jiang Lai in private.

——Because at that time, in order to complete the setting of the winery organization's vest, the world consciousness fabricated a lot of criminal records for the Little Sheep vest. These were not done by Jiang Lai himself, but this kind of fabricated thing cannot be explained at all.

If you want to expose someone's identity, then the other party must first truly believe in the existence of these unscientific events. That's why Jinpei Matsuda asked this question.

Hearing Matsuda Jinpei's question, Furuya Rei was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing again:

"The question is not whether I will believe it, but whether I can believe it - and my answer is, I can't believe it."

There was some profound meaning in these words, and Jinpei Matsuda was unable to react for a moment.

Zhu Fu Jingguang beside him raised his blue eyes. He could vaguely understand what his childhood friend meant.

"I'm a public security officer." Fūya Rei replied softly with an unchanged smile.

——As a person who struggles in the darkness, he can accept the beautiful imagination of the other world, but he cannot really believe that there will be things like [resurrection from the dead] and [creation out of nothing] in the world.

Otherwise, the next time you face a criminal organization, these things will unconsciously interfere with your judgment.

Therefore, he could not believe it.

Then, Furuya Rei said: "Watanabe is a good boy, and he played a role in the subsequent advancement of the organization. But it is undeniable that the official data on him did show some gray and black transactions."

"If he had not sacrificed himself, I would have taken care of him in the future, but I would not have shielded him. I would have made amends for his mistakes and followed the procedures."

The table was silent for a few seconds.

Then, Furuya Rei raised his glass and said, "But these assumptions are meaningless. The dead cannot be resurrected. Watanabe-kun is a good boy. If he can go to school in another world, it can be regarded as fulfilling his dream. This is already a good ending."

He curled his lips and smiled.

Yes, this is a good ending.

Matsuda Jinpei and Morofushi Kagemitsu also raised their glasses, and they drank together, putting their worries aside.

——You don’t have to reveal the whole truth, nor do you have to know whether it is a pseudonym or not. As long as there is a happy ending, it is enough.

The ending now is a happy ending for everyone. There is no need to dig deeper.

On the one hand, Rei Furiya's attention to Xiao Mianyang is due to their friendship in the past, and on the other hand, the other party is also a shadow of the thousands of victims who died during the undercover journey.

——Placing beautiful hopes on the little lamb, at the same time, silently paying tribute to those who sacrificed, hoping that those people can also have a new future of reincarnation in another world.

The tombstones on them are too heavy, and they need some hope and reliance to keep moving forward.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai's brows relaxed.

The little sheep's vest was not exposed in the end, and it seems that it does not need to be exposed. The ending is beautiful and the hope is broad, so there is no need to delve into the details.

At the end of the email, Morofushi Jingguang wrote with a smile on his face.

[Zero also asked me to keep an eye out for lamb-related peripherals. It seems he has also joined the 2D circle. Matsuda said he wants to compete with Zero in a single push contest - well, I'll beat Zero in this contest first.]

A smile flashed in Jiang Lai's eyes. He tapped on the keyboard and replied to inform others about his current situation, especially the gaming-related matters.

The next email from Morofushi Jingguang was replied very quickly:

[Is this the real deal? No wonder this game said that it would collaborate with the official Jukai manga. I thought this game would have character skins from Jukai, but it turns out that Jukai manga has included this game.]

[#諸伏景光#: We have this game in our world and in the Curse Return World, but the accounts on both sides should not be interoperable, right? However, you can also take some time to try and see if you can log in from another world.]

When this was mentioned, Jiang Lai thought of Hong Shu who had been passed on. He wondered if his scientific friends could also connect with the Curse Return through the game.

It's worth a try.

After a brief chat with Zhufu Jingguang, Jiang Lai exited his mobile email and saw a comic update notification.

He clicked in quickly.

After quickly flipping through the pages, Jiang Lai's eyes were focused on the last scene of the new chapter of the comic.

The final plot focuses on Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami, who visited the site not long ago.

In the comics, Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji did not find any traces of the finger - obviously, their initial guess was that there was Ryomen Sukuna's finger here. But there was no gain.

After the two searched, Ryomen Sukuna opened his eyes on the side of Itadori Yuji's face and said, "Stupid kids, you can't sense or find anything, so why not give your body to me--"

Yuji Itadori was not fooled by Ryomen Sukuna at all. After being together for so long, he certainly knew what kind of person Ryomen Sukuna was.

He said indifferently, "No one will look for you again."

Ryoumen Sukuna burst into laughter, and after a few seconds, he slowly spoke again: "Then you can just wander around aimlessly like this, or - you can look for that guy you met a long time ago."

"Who?" Yuji Itadori was a little surprised by Ryomen Sukuna's words, as the other party almost never mentioned other people.

And he didn't believe that Ryomen Sukuna would really give him a kind reminder.

"The guy who helped you last winter." Ryoumen Sukuna laughed again, the meaning unclear, "——He's a good guy, isn't he?"

Jiang Lai frowned slightly when he saw this. He knew that the other party was probably referring to his original self, but he didn't know why the other party mentioned himself.

...Do they know each other?
