Chapter 70 [Thousands of Years]
After focusing on the new chapter trailer for a few moments, Jiang Lai once again returned to the comic updates.
He opened the comic that he hadn't read recently, starting from the little sheep's admission to school and the awakening ritual, all the way to the end of the fragment incident not long ago and Nanami Kento's phone call to inform Gojo Satoru.
Most of the content is what Jiang Lai has experienced. In Hongshu Qipi, the comic description is a kind of interspersed editing. Let the viewer mistakenly think that Xiao Yang named the leader in the mobile game Hongshu, so the leader who is materialized is called Hongshu, and the two are naturally acquainted.
——This part of the processing reveals that world consciousness is still very cautious about not exposing the scientific world.
Afterwards, Jiang Lai paid special attention to some extra plots that he was not present for.
In the manga, when Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami were leaving school, they happened to meet Junpei Yoshino, who had not entered the school gate and was preparing to go back to school to get his belongings.
At this time, the [account] had just been cancelled, and Yoshino Junpei looked at the half-missing school annex building in astonishment.
Yuji Itadori paused, coughed and said seriously: "Here... um, there was a pipeline explosion, we are checking and dealing with it."
Yoshino Junpei was silent for two seconds, then said slowly: "Are they those strange-looking, cursed spirits or something like that?" He had heard related words from the little sheep Jiang Lai.
"Huh?" Yuji Itadori was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew the terms in the world of curse.
Afterwards, the two had a brief conversation. Because they were worried that there might be some remaining cursed spirits, Yuji Itadori took the initiative to go upstairs with Junpei Yoshino.
During this process, the friendship between the very friendly Yuji Itadori and Junpei Yoshino developed rapidly. The boys discovered their common interests during the casual conversation and made an appointment to watch a movie together next time they have the chance.
Seeing this, Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes slightly: It seems that in the new series, they have become friends again.
Then he looked at the second half.
After returning home, Nanami Kento immediately picked up the phone and called Gojo Satoru, briefly describing the unexpected circumstances of the incident - and the familiar figure he unexpectedly met.
In the picture, Gojo Satoru on the other side of the phone is wearing a black eye mask, holding the phone in one hand, and his tall figure is half leaning against a guardrail somewhere.
After listening to Nanami Kento's words, he put down his other hand that was resting on the guardrail and said, "I understand."
Nanami Kento hesitated for a moment, a little surprised that the other person was so quiet this time.
After a while, the other side returned to the usual tone: "Hey, I didn't expect you to run into two special-class people this time? As expected, the guys who conducted the mission level survey are unreliable. They need to be slammed on the table and taught a lesson. Are you okay? What's the specific situation with Hisahito?"
Kento Nanami told about Yuji Itadori's situation and said that he had already planned his itinerary and was waiting to return to school the next day for a physical examination.
"Yeah, I need to check it out." Gojo Satoru said, "I will also rush back and use my six eyes to check on my good student."
After listening to this, Nanami Kento was silent for half a second, and then continued to narrate calmly: "The two special-grade cursed spirits we encountered this time are not recorded in the files of the curse world. Do we need to report all the information?"
He paused. "Or maybe we won't report it for now. Let's make a decision after you come and investigate?"
——Because one of the special-grade cursed spirits might be a former friend of Gojo Satoru, after thinking about it, Nanami Kento decided to leave the choice of this issue to Gojo himself.
After a brief silence, the person on the other end of the line responded, "...I'll go there."
After waiting for a few seconds, noticing that Nanami Kento didn't say anything else and didn't hang up the phone, Gojo Satoru smiled again and said, "What's the matter, Nanami? Anything else?"
Nanami Kento focused his eyes on an inconspicuous gray stain on the wall of the room and added his last words in a calm voice:
"After death, sorcerers become cursed spirits. Some retain their memories from their previous lives, but some have weak or no consciousness at all. The latter are a purer kind of cursed spirit."
This sentence is common knowledge among sorcerers in the world of spellcasting. When it is said in such a situation, even if the person is not specifically mentioned, the hidden meaning is very obvious.
The person on the other end of the phone did not respond immediately. After a few breaths, Gojo Satoru finally spoke: "I understand."
——The tone and response are similar to those at the beginning of the call.
Nanami Kento didn't say anything else. His implicit reminder and concern had been conveyed. The rest was up to Gojo Satoru himself.
He said goodbye calmly and politely and hung up the phone.
The last page of this comic is split in half.
In the left half, Gojo Satoru puts away his phone, puts his hands in his pockets, and walks into the bustling crowd with his long legs. While maintaining an imperceptible distance from everything around him, he is in a state of unlimited power.
On the other side, a familiar black-haired young man stood alone in the alley. He looked up and gazed at the narrow sky above his head through the overlapping power lines and building shadows.
The picture ends here.
Jiang Lai blinked when he saw this and thought: It seems that the comics not only have misunderstandings in the editing, but also are a patchwork of different time periods.
The last scene where I look up from the alley was when I was about to change back into the sheep vest, and I looked up to see if there was any surveillance or human shadow.
This combination is quite artistic. Jiang Lai nodded in his heart.
As for what Gojo Satoru said about "coming over" - Jiang Lai was not surprised by it.
Whether from a rational or emotional point of view, Gojo Satoru would come specially and secretly talk to him face to face to discuss the follow-up plan.
Afterwards, Jiang Lai exited the official website, opened the Science World's new series of flower-growing forums, and found the latest concentrated discussion post on the plot.
[Oh, the Little Sheep Ritual is out! I've always seen that the Pokémon adventure game called [Pokémons and New Route] will be linked with the new Curse Return series, but I didn't expect it to be here!
u1s1, a spirit in the style of Curse Return, there is a kind of cuteness mixed with some realism, cuteness and a bit of underworld weirdness. I didn’t recognize it at first glance, hahaha]
[Wow, I envy this technique so much. I want to hold a spirit in my arms, too—
Of course, forget about Kyubey, but to be honest, the leader of Kyubey's shell is really creepy (sad). Official, you should buy the copyright and buy some mascots from the mortal world. 】
[Shunping is learning skills from Little Sheep. Little Sheep has a bad mouth but a really good heart... Mommy is in tears. Later, Shunping gets to know Huzi again. This time, Shunping should have a good ending! Woohoo]
[The highlight is at the end! The real person appears! And Raishin! And that Ryoumen Sukuna guy!
This confused Leshen is really great, it's the kind of feeling that makes me want to lick him, both strong and weak... Sorry, I'm a BT, let me say it first!!
Looking at it this way, it turns out that the reason why Lai Shen was expressionless, dangerous, and a mystery teller before, in addition to the comic filter effect, was actually the instinctive defense mode when he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, and self-protection under the confusion of memory? 】
[It seems that Raishin is measuring the danger level himself: when facing danger, he is more dangerous than the danger (refer to the appearance in the alley with Fushiguro Megumi and the cursed spirit), and he will be relatively relaxed and friendly when facing others (refer to the face-to-face between Danjun, Fushiguro, and Toranoko).
The amnesiac Raijin probably still has some subconsciousness left, for example, he knew at the beginning that his name was "Gojo Rai" and guessed that the enemy was around so he turned on the underworld mode and treated it with caution. He is a bit like that alert little animal, so cute
[Watch carefully! A real person kidnapped and amnesiac Lai Shen. Although Lai Shen didn’t fall for it, it made me so sad (bites handkerchief). Don’t follow the cursed spirit, Lai Shen! You used to be a god, and you have a sorcerer friend! ! ]
[A blind guess, based on the style of Curse Returns to the Netherworld, there will most likely be a plot where Lai Shen joins the Curse Spirits side...
You see, this time, Lai Shen's final decision is "Cursed spirits and humans are enemies" - although he did not harm Hu Zi and the others, his nature is still kind. I just don't know how long his final kindness can last.
In the conversation between Nanami Kento and Gojo Satoru in the later part of the manga, I always felt that Gojo's calmness was a cover for the depression in his heart. 285 He only becomes so taciturn when he is serious and in a heavy mood.
He had gone to see Levi before at Christmas. Although the comic didn't show the details, it seemed like they parted on bad terms.
At that time, Gojo Satoru just thought that Lai had lost his memory, but he probably didn't expect that after a period of time, he turned into a cursed spirit (sad)
Gojo Neko, you are so miserable. In the first round, you lost your good friend Geto Summer Oil, and in the second round, you lost your good friend Raishen. No matter what, there is no way it can be perfect, right?
jjxx you are not a human being (thumps the ground) don’t let the two of them fight to the death——】
[Fuck, I'm so scared. I'm going to cry first to show my respect! 】
[Ah, there's more! Ryoumen Sukuna and Raishin definitely have a story. The previous evaluation of "being a good guy" and the scene of him looking down from the sky after swallowing the fragments all have that kind of feeling of a good friend who is an old enemy in the underworld (gesture)
Okay, this time I will be the analyst and do the analysis.
First, the woven bag in the real person's hand. Combined with the previous action of the brain flower mother weaving something, I think this woven bag is made by brain flower and is specially used to collect debris.
And what is this fragment?
I found a picture (screenshot.jpg) of the Raisin Clock when it was damaged and cracked.
Comparing this with the cracks above, I think the light green crystal-like object that appeared in the update is something related to [Existence] and is similar to a fragment of the divine nature.
The godhood of Rai was only damaged, but not completely shattered or lost, so this fragment was probably from another [existence].
It is known that the fragments of the divine power are extremely powerful, but they can be contained in a woven bag.
那麽再進一步猜測，腦花除了編織袋，是不是還編織了些別的物品，比如繩索之類的東西？而這種東西大概率是可以困住[存在]的。
說不準監管會裏的那個[存在]——不管是物品樣态還是人形，就是被腦花困住然後利用的。】
【……草啊，感覺畫風更加陰間了。希望監管會的[存在]沒事，以及希望監管會不要發現萊神（雙手合十祈禱）
話說，宿傩吃了碎片沒事，難道宿傩也是[存在]？】
【不清楚，也可能是宿傩比較特殊？或者他實際上沒吃，只是收起來了？不管怎麽樣，宿傩肯定是知曉[存在]的……更多秘密就等着新篇章揭曉了！】
【快更新！好想看[千載千秋]新篇章嗚嗚嗚，快讓我看過去的萊神和大爺！！（受不了了，一拳打爆催更鍵.gif）】
江萊大體浏覽過論壇，将重點分析內容記在心裏。
關于編織品與腦花的分析，他覺得有幾分道理。
畢竟，腦花不可能平白無故選擇一個殼子。
他是一個可以謀劃千年大計的角色，所作所為都非常有規劃性，更換的每一套身軀都有着自己的目的。
這次選擇長裙女人的身體，八成就是為了這個特殊的“編織”能力。
至于監管會裏的那個[存在]……很難說對方施加能力是主動的、還是被迫的。江萊單手搭在下颌處，沉思着。
——具體情況如何，還要等待進一步接觸才能明确。他在內心将規劃記下。
此刻門口傳來敲門聲，小綿羊江萊從書桌前起身，小跑過去開門。
門外是虎杖悠仁，他的毛巾搭在肩膀處，發絲挂着一點水珠，他笑容爽朗，少年音說道：
“我已經洗完澡了，你等會要去麽？浴室的燈我沒關。”
七海建人的家是三室一廳兩衛，浴室連着客廳。小綿羊江萊被七海建人收養後，其中一間次卧就成為了他的房間。
剩下的那間次卧就成了客房書屋一體化的房間，這幾天虎杖悠仁便睡在隔壁次卧。
剛才小綿羊江萊還在學習（實際上是在看手機漫畫和論壇），所以虎杖悠仁先行去洗漱。
“我學完了。”小綿羊江萊放下手機，眨眼笑道，“這就去。”
等洗漱完後，時間已經不早了。小綿羊江萊最後收拾了一下，然後把一盞盞燈關掉。
他注意到，主卧的門縫裏還有光線傳來，而另一間次卧是黑的——七海建人大概還沒睡，虎杖悠仁估計已經休息了。
江萊放輕動作，輕手輕腳回到自己的房間。
他合攏房門，沒有開燈。
窗外的住宅樓大多已經熄了燈，附近大型建築很少，在這樣的暗環境下，天邊的圓月被凸顯得格外明亮。
千年來亘古不變的明月，透過窗戶将溫涼的清淺光澤傾灑而下，溫柔地搖曳在未眠人的眼中和休憩者的夢裏。
浪潮般的困意一層層席卷而上，江萊打了個小小的哈欠，蹬掉拖鞋上床躺下。
他合攏雙眸，陷入過分柔軟的床鋪和無限延展的過往中。
——
這一覺睡得非常舒服，若非臉頰上微微的涼意，他不會清醒得如此之早。
江萊睜開眼，上方是幹淨的天空，雪花鵝絨般随風飛揚，落在臉頰傳來微涼的觸感，融化後的濕潤像是大自然的親吻。
……等等、天花板呢？屋頂呢？他愣神幾秒，坐起身來，才注意到此刻的自己正睡在一株枝條粗壯的古樹上。
極目望去，周圍是漂亮的林間雪景，隐約能夠瞥見村莊的輪廓。袅袅炊煙緩慢升騰在空中，飄乎乎被風吹淡。
江萊只沉默了半秒，便找出自己的手機——此刻它的外貌又變成了一本古樸書冊。
透過手機相機，他看到此刻的自己再度變回本體的黑發棕眸樣子，服飾也變作毫無裝飾的藏青色和服。一切看起來和[昨日昔日]篇的裝扮別無二致。
只有一點不同——
冬雪之風拂過樹梢，幾近齊腰長的黑發随風揚起。江萊單手攏住發絲，心中沉默半秒。
一夜之間發長暴增！這樣的良心洗發水還不快爆買（bushi）！！
心中天馬行空一瞬，江萊很快收回思緒，他已經猜到此刻自己身處在何處。
漫畫已經放出過新篇章預告，看來如他之前的猜測，[千載千秋]就在夜晚睡夢間回溯展開——現在大概是千年前平安京時代的日本。
這個時期大部分人都是長發。除了個別角色留有短發，比如兩面宿傩。
這個時期是咒術界混亂又繁盛的時期，咒靈、妖魔、術師、陰陽師等各式角色密布，可以說是咒靈與咒術師的全盛時期。
江萊呼吸平穩，他能感受到自己身上磅礴無窮的力量——真正屬于[存在]的力量，以天地為界限、以日月為标杆，和自然融為一體。
【術式-萬象縱橫】
橫向的空間能力變化不太大，或許是為了順應時代變化。它從編輯空間代碼，變成了可以直接操控空間，相當于将過程簡化，江萊可以更為自由快速地操縱周圍。
而縱向的時間能力也有所更改。整體的一次性世界回溯能力，變成了可以多次使用的單體或小範圍時間調整。
江萊對準身側的古樹枝丫，試着發動自己的能力——
在目光注視下，冬季幹枯的枝丫萌生幼芽新葉，好似提前進入春夏之際。
江萊眼睛一亮。他接着調轉能力、将其反向調整回去，古樹枝丫又恢複成最初的樣子。
說真的，如果可以肆意改變時間，那這個能力就強到有點作弊了。按理說世界上不會過于突破限制的能力，這樣的應用大概是有限制的。
江萊半垂下眼眸，深入感受自己能力的那道邊緣線，逐漸摸索出環繞在周邊的限制。
【可以修複以及微調時間軌跡，但不可大幅度更改個體原本的軌跡、尤其是具有重要影響的個體軌跡，違背規則後的孽将會累加在[存在]神格之上。】
“……”說實話，這段感知出的限制描述有點謎語人。
江萊思索了片刻，輕呼出一口氣。總而言之，就是不能太過于肆意的使用？特別是影響很大的重要角色？
倒也合理。江萊默默想。若是沒有限制，他就能找到宿傩或者腦花，然後發動能力直接把他們逆轉回嬰兒期搞定，故事完（？）
冬風再度吹拂過耳側，揚起的黑色長發擦過臉頰，江萊單手将發絲攏住，構造出發帶将其在腦後将其松散地簡單束起。
而後，他打算看看手機，由此來獲取更多情報信息。
在他打開眼前的書冊（手機）時，樹下傳來一道孩子的稚嫩又熱情聲音：
“哇！你怎麽在樹上？你不冷嗎？”
江萊順着聲音低頭看去，樹下的是個再普通不過的小男孩，看樣子是不遠處村莊的孩童。他穿着裹得嚴實的衣服，仰頭好奇道。
想了幾秒後，江萊從樹上躍下，他笑道：“不冷。倒是你，跑得這麽遠，小心遇見野獸。”
“我、我不怕！”小孩叉腰說着，在看到江萊正面的時候，又忍不住後退半步，神情看起來有點畏懼、又還帶着孩童的好奇，“……那個、那個、你是妖怪嗎？”
“嗯？”江萊問，“為什麽這麽說？”
小孩在臉上比劃着，話語有些結巴：“你、那個，我看不見你的臉——是一團霧，有霧擋住了你的臉。”
有霧擋住臉部？江萊略微挑眉。這樣玄虛的樣子，倒是非常符合[不結緣]的設定。
畢竟他人連模樣都看不到，更別提所謂“結緣”了。
大概看江萊沒有傷害自己的樣子，小孩試探着又往前邁出一步：“所以你是妖怪嗎，迷霧哥哥？”
“不是。”江萊簡單回複，他并未多言，只是往前邁步，“你是迷路了吧，我送你回去。”
“哎、你怎麽看出來我迷路了——”小孩撓撓頭，接着跟上，“你真的不是妖怪？你真的不吃小孩？”
江萊沒過多回複，他擡袖略微扶了把身側的孩童，免得他摔倒。
兩人行走在林間，江萊身為[存在]，有着天然的方向感。他帶着小孩一路走向村莊。
離開樹林後，平坦的土路便展現在眼前。這場雪下了有一段時間了，道路被掩蓋在厚厚的積雪之下。
江萊停在林邊：“到了，你回去吧。”
“謝謝迷霧哥哥！下次有機會我給你帶貢品！”小孩臉紅撲撲的，頗有禮貌地行了一禮，告別後往前小跑。
他路過一堆積雪，那團積雪下隐約露出人類的幾根手指。江萊眯起眼睛。
——雪下有人？！
小孩顯然也注意到了，他半蹲下身子，指着雪堆和江萊說：“這裏好像有人被埋了！”
他主動用手扒拉着積雪，單純善良的孩童想把下面的人救出來。
江萊邁步上前，打算幫個忙。
At this moment, cursed power surged in the air, and the child who was digging snow was cut into two by the invisible cursed blade, and blood gushed out!
"!?" Jiang Lai was stunned for a second, then he saw the snow pile move and someone stood up from the snow.
A guy with short cherry-pink hair and four arms emerged from the snow. He looked like a teenager, but his body was stronger and more robust than that of an average person.
His scarlet eyes fell on the dead body of the child on the ground, and he said lazily, "Tsk, I didn't sleep well, I'm not happy."
——It’s Ryomen Sukuna.
The four-armed Ryoumen Sukuna glanced casually at the corpse.
The next second, another wave of cursed power swept through the air, and the child on the ground rolled over and climbed up intact, regaining his original life.
Ryomen Sukuna: “?”
His eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes turned to the figure with long black hair standing beside him - the person who had just performed the ritual.
