Chapter 66 "We meet again."

Jiang Lai stared at the last few scenes of the comic and fell into deep thought.

Honestly, when I hear the King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna describe him as a "too nice guy," I always feel like his weirdness index is way over the top.

The manga does not describe Yuji Itadori's specific reaction after hearing this sentence, but Jiang Lai can roughly guess that the other party will instinctively become alert and regard himself as the other party's accomplice.

In any case, from this brief scene, it can be seen that he and Ryomen Sukuna should know each other.

This could also explain why Ryomen Sukuna narrowed his eyes slightly when they first met and passed each other - probably because he sensed the presence of a familiar face.

From these few words, it is hard to tell Ryomen Sukuna's true attitude. The phrase "a good person" alone has a bit of a riddle style.

Jiang Lai thought about it for a few seconds and decided to put it aside in his mind for the time being.

——Similar to the experience in the chapter "Yesterday and the Past", I will probably go back to the past once more and recount the past events related to Master Sukuna. At that time, I will consider the matters related to Ryomen Sukuna in detail.

At this moment, Jiang Lai focused on the information revealed in the conversation between the two.

Ryomen Sukuna contemptuously commented on Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji who were investigating on the site, "You won't find it," "Just keep wandering around like headless flies," and said, "Why don't you leave it to me," "Or let the guy who helped you back then find it."

From this perspective, the reason why Utsukura School suddenly attracted cursed spirits must be different from the tasks that the sorcerers had handled in the past, so Ryomen Sukuna said that they couldn't find them.

That probably wasn't the attraction of a special spell, which ruled out the possibility of a finger.

Jiang Lai crossed out the guesses in his mind, and then came up with guess number two - another possibility of attracting cursed spirits was related to the existence of damaged divine energy.

If this is true, then Lord Sukuna obviously knows about [the existence]. After all, he said he could find it... but how did he sense it?

The doubt only lasted for a moment, and Jiang Lai immediately reacted: Ryomen Sukuna is now a curse, and cursed spirits can sense the existence of destroyed divine energy.

He pondered and continued to analyze along this line.

In this case, if I want to find out the secret of Urasakura School, I have to switch back to the cursed spirit mode and go take a look.

——

When Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji returned from the school site inspection, it was already dinner time. Kyubey Hiroki had already returned to the Science World Network.

After dinner, Jiang Lai wanted to get more information before going to the scene, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Now that you have completed your mission for today, can I go to school as usual tomorrow?"

"It's not resolved yet." Nanami Kento looked serious, paused for a second, and then continued, "I noticed that there were traces of cursed energy at the scene. At that time, you..."

"I learned the technique in a crisis." Jiang Lai, the little sheep, said smoothly, "Because I'm very familiar with this game, I got the hang of it very quickly - it seems that playing games on weekdays has its benefits."

Nanami Kento was not clear about the specific situation of the cursed spirits at the scene. He thought for two seconds and continued:

"Besides the basics, most of the techniques are personalized. You can explore them on your own first, and then ask me if you don't understand anything."

"You can also ask me~!" Yuji Itadori scratched the back of his head and smiled brightly, "Well, if I know, I will do my best to answer it."

"Okay." Little Sheep Jiang Lai blinked, "In that case, will you agree to let me go with you to the scene next time?"

"No." Nanami Kento still refused firmly, and then said calmly, "I will take you out for a few simple missions in the future to conduct actual combat exercises. But the reason for this mission is unknown and it is more dangerous, so you can't go."

"Okay then." The little sheep Jiang Lai curled his lips, looking quite disappointed.

In fact, he was very calm inside.

The question just now was just a casual question. If they happen to agree, Jiang Lai can put on his sheepskin and go for a look first.

If they disagree, Jiang Lai will just go the wrong way with them, take the time to switch identities, and go to the scene to investigate with his original body.

Yuji Itadori also played that Pokemon adventure game, so the two of them played together after dinner.

"It's a pity that this game doesn't allow free team formation." Yuji Itadori said, "Fortunately, I'm lucky and was matched with Fushiguro - ah, Fushiguro is my classmate, and his technique can also summon shikigami that are like elves."

He said cheerfully, "If we ever get a chance to meet, maybe you'll find something in common."

"Maybe~" Little sheep Jiang Lai lowered his head and looked at the many extra messages in the chat.

After speaking harshly and only receiving automatic replies, Zenoin Naoya finally gave up saying anything more and simply treated himself as a dead teammate. He cleared many levels on his own, but this time he got stuck at one place.

When Jiang Lai came online, the opponent happened to be online as well, so the little sheep Jiang Lai naturally teleported himself to his teammate's position and started fighting with the opponent.

Although there was some disagreement between the two in their conversations, they both had the skills and cooperated well for the first time, successfully passing the BOSS level.

[#The next one is me#: Haha, you don’t want to lie down anymore? Your skills are barely passable. ]

[#小羊不失眠#: Thank you, your technique is good, I still have a lot of room for improvement. ]

[#The next one is me#:……? ]

Faced with such a polite and humble reply, the person on the other end seemed to be unable to react for a while and spoke only after a while.

[#The next one is me#: Oh, has the person changed or has he faced reality? This style is OK.]

[#小羊不失眠#: Yeah, I'll accept the good reviews for the free trial. If you want to keep this style, please pay via PayPal! You can unlock more modes by paying real money~]

[#The next one is me#: ? ? ? ]

After casually replying to Zenin Naoya, Jiang Lai quit the game. He glanced at Yuji Itadori beside him with the corner of his eye.

The cherry-pink-haired boy is playing the game seriously, and the crescent-shaped marks under his eyes are closed at the moment.

Ryoumen Sukuna, who was lurking inside, had no intention of coming out. Everything around him must be very boring to him.

"..." Jiang Lai quickly retracted his gaze.

It seems that the vest is indeed a perfect cover for the switch. Rokugan cannot see and Ryomen Sukuna cannot sense the true identity under the vest.

He thought to himself as he flicked the ram horn decoration on the soft rubber phone cover.

After collecting more information and making some preparations, I will use my original body to meet with Yuji Itadori (Ryomen Sukuna) - who knows, it might open a new past line. And it will be a long flashback chapter of a thousand years ago.

——

The school didn't gain much, so the next day, Kento Nanami decided to take Yuji Itadori to look for clues in the city.

Because the cause of the "mysterious" student death has not yet been determined, the school has temporarily closed for the past few days and switched to online video classes.

After Nanami Kento and the others left, Jiang Lai, the little sheep who was taking online classes, pretended to be sick and asked for leave from the teacher, saying that he needed to lie in bed to rest and would go out to buy medicine later.

Afterwards, Jiang Lai quit the online class, left a note at home saying "I'm going out for a while", and then slipped out of the house.

There aren't many iris signs in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. And after more than a decade of hard work, Gojo Satoru and Kagome Suguru have successfully made some of the signs just for show - interfering with information collection or giving them the right to information.

Jiang Lai carefully cleared the contents of several surveillance sections he passed by, switched identities in the deserted alley, and returned to his original form.

After adapting to the perspective of a teenager for a while, Jiang Lai switched back to the height of an adult, which was a little uncomfortable for a while. He quickly adjusted himself.

For convenience, he adjusted himself into curse spirit mode and then walked out of the alley.

The cursed spirit cannot be seen by ordinary people. Jiang Lai passed through the crowd like a shadow, silently jumped over the school gate, and entered the interior of Urasakura.

——The deserted school where the murder took place was extremely quiet, and even in the daytime, it exuded a sense of eerie coldness.

As he approached the school, Jiang Lai had another strange feeling. It was as if there was a magnet inside that kept drawing him closer.

After stepping in, the sense of attraction becomes clearer.

"..." Jiang Lai calmed down. Following his instinct, he walked step by step into the annex of the school's teaching building, followed the stairs to the fourth floor, walked through the quiet corridors, and reached the deepest point.

This place is relatively far from the classrooms where they take classes and the teachers' offices, so few people come here on weekdays.

In the room at the end, the bronze door was tightly closed, and the surrounding area was covered with mottled rust.

The label on the door reads [Grocery Storage].

——This seems to be an abandoned storage room.

Jiang Lai was not the first person to come here. There was already another figure standing in front of the storage room.

A young man with a blue three-strand braid and vertical and horizontal stitches on his face was staring at the junk room, humming an unknown tune.

It's a special cursed spirit - a real person!

Did he appear here simply because he was attracted by this power? Or did he come here on a mission from the Regulatory Commission? —— Judging from the soul mark on Jin'er, the real person should be cooperating with the Regulatory Commission.

Jiang Lai thought about it in an instant.

It seems that even in the new series, this is the place where the opponent refreshes and appears, but the reason is different from the original.

Speaking of which, I have currently switched to the state of a cursed spirit. According to my abilities, I can be considered a special-grade cursed spirit.

Jiang Lai pondered in his mind and quickly made up a curse for himself that was created by [people's regret for the passing of time and fear of the uncertainty of the future].

When Jiang Lai appeared, Zhenren also sensed something behind him. He turned around naturally and looked from afar with his heterochromatic eyes at the black-haired young man who was walking slowly towards him.

Seeing the black-haired young man approaching, the Special Curse Spirit Master's eyes flashed with surprise and interest.

He still remembered that when he saw her at the station, she was still a mixture of a human and a cursed spirit. But now in his eyes, she was a complete cursed spirit, a companion in their minds.

The small group of real people will initially be relatively friendly towards characters who are also special-level cursed spirits.

Jiang Lai stopped at a distance, and looked straight at him with his brown eyes calmly.

He did not reveal his attitude.

The real person blinked slightly, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. Just like at the train station, he raised his hand and waved first, and greeted in a cheerful voice:

"Hi, what a coincidence, we meet again~"
