Chapter 74: Heian-kyō Magical Squad

There is a reason why Jiang Lai holds up his book (mobile phone) at this moment - to take a photo of Master Sukuna as a teenager and keep it as a souvenir.

In the future, when Ryoumen Sukuna grows up to be the true King of Curses, he will not be able to witness such a real scene of vomiting.

Jiang Lai has always been a person who knows how to seize opportunities. Therefore, he started to capture this dark history without hesitation.

Beside him, the white-haired boy Yu Hagi’s thoughts were heightened for a second: “…was he vomited by the evil heart?”

Jiang Lai smiled, but he didn't continue the conversation and said nothing more. Instead, he cleverly stopped talking to avoid the master from losing his temper if he continued talking.

When Ryoumen Sukuna had almost finished vomiting, the black-haired young man half-turned his body and said in a gentle and considerate manner: "If you mind the term [punish evil and promote good], just think of it as going to kill monsters."

"..." Ryoumen Sukuna stood up and sneered, "I just want to kill you now."

"Oh, I know that." The figure in the navy blue kimono nodded calmly, "I've always known that."

"However, [wanting to kill] and [being able to kill] are two different things. At least for now, you don't have to waste your time thinking about this impossible thing."

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Based on the principle of proximity, let's first deal with the designated characters in this incident. As for the murderous intention against me - well, it won't cost you much in the meantime."

The young version of Ryomen Sukuna locked his scarlet eyes on Jiang Lai for two or three seconds, then he let out a light click and squeezed out a reply from his throat.

"Indeed... it won't take that long." He said in a low voice, "And it won't be resolved in a short time. Otherwise it would be too boring."

"Ah, interrupt me," the white-haired boy Yu Hagi took two steps forward and poked the wooden stick steadily into the ground, "Are you discussing preparing to kill someone? And the killer and the victim are each other?"

Although his eyes were wrapped in black and gold cloth, covering the upper half of his face, Jiang Lai could still imagine that he was frowning.

"It's okay." Jiang Lai said calmly, closing the fox mask that he had just half-lifted. "He can't kill me."

Ryoumen Sukuna snorted and said nothing. He just scratched the air barrier with his sharp nails, leaving a mark on the air barrier that disappeared in a breath.

"..." The white-haired boy was silent for half a second. He put one hand on his chin and said with a long tail tone, "I really don't understand you guys - but it sounds like you are very interesting!"

Jiang Lai: “?”

Jiang Lai's Half Moon Eyes: "...No, please don't take anything outrageous as interesting."

"Ha, you admit it - this kind of conversation is really outrageous!" The white-haired boy drew a beautiful arc with the end of his guide stick, and the corners of his lips raised like a cat raising its tail high.

Then, Yuhagi said, "It's weird to discuss each other's life and death at this time - why not change the topic to something more normal."

"Let's talk about something more normal, like - changing clothes?" Jiang Lai continued, "We're going to investigate clues later, so it's better to keep a low profile."

"Although the current Onmyoji and Shikigami roles are reasonable enough, it would be better if I could blend in with the crowd in a low-key manner - it would be best if I could hide my uniqueness." He turned to Ryomen Sukuna, "So, do you want to buy some suitable clothes?"

"What a hassle to have such a cumbersome thing." Ryoumen Sukuna sneered.

Jiang Lai advised, "You still have to wear clothes, otherwise this part of the content won't be broadcast."

Ryomen Sukuna: “?”

Jiang Lai: "Well, what I mean is that being naked in a civilized era is immoral."

Ryoumen Sukuna looked disdainful, and the black lines on his face started to move. He didn't care about this at all. In his eyes, the world's theories were just shackles of trouble.

Beside him, the white-haired young man Yu Hao said briskly, "If you need to buy some clothes, I'll treat you, too."

After he finished speaking, his eyes behind the black and gold cloth looked through the barrier at Ryomen Sukuna, "Speaking of which, you are also amazing. In the freezing winter, you are not afraid of the cold even with your upper body naked."

"I don't have any special feelings." Ryoumen Sukuna raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his sharp canine teeth, "You are too weak, and your cursed power cannot maintain a constant temperature."

Can the body temperature be maintained while the cursed power is running? Jiang Lai has never heard of this.

At this moment, after the white-haired boy brought up the topic again, Jiang Lai's attention returned to Ryomen Sukuna.

Yuhagi added, "Does the cursed energy keep you at a constant temperature?" He raised his delicate face slightly, "I don't see you running the cursed energy. This is worse than me pretending to be blind."

The observation of the six eyes is naturally accurate. Jiang Lai's mind was full of thoughts. The other party did not use his magic power to maintain his body temperature, so why was he not afraid of the cold?

——This, along with [being able to see through fog], is a mystery surrounding Ryomen Sukuna.

Jiang Lai thought about it and did not make any special statement for the time being, while the two men were still talking.

"If you can't see it, it's because you're useless." Ryoumen Sukuna said with a cold laugh, "You can't even see through something so obvious. You've lived in vain for so many years, you stupid guy."

"Huh?" As a rare white-haired boy with six eyes, he had never been evaluated like this before.

When he was young and full of vigor, he almost wanted to tear off his black and gold cloth and fight with the guy in front of him to prove who was right and who was wrong.

——But in the end, he still maintained a certain level of reserve due to his aristocratic upbringing, and didn’t want to expose himself too conspicuously.

Therefore, Yu Hagi continued to stroke the exquisitely crafted wooden guide stick with his hand, and seemed to be considering whether to fight first or endure for a moment.

Just at this moment, Jiang Lai interrupted from the side, interrupting the momentum of the two people's crackling attack.

"We know you're not afraid of the cold, Sukuna, but you don't want to be watched like an animal." He said gently, "Buy a wide-sleeved dress that covers both arms and only exposes one pair. This will reduce a lot of unnecessary attention."

——These words touched the heart of Ryomen Sukuna.

Ryomen Sukuna really hated being stared at by people around him.

He used to adhere to the hard principle of "no raising your head without permission" and used his sharp cursed blade to cut off the head of every stupid human who dared to look directly at him.

But now, due to the nosy navy blue figure beside him, he couldn't kill those eyes directly.

The transparent air was everywhere, surrounding him and forming an invisible cage of restriction, dissolving the murderous blades.

Ryoumen Sukuna brushed the tip of the canine's teeth with the tip of his tongue, thought for half a second, and nodded slightly, saying, "I reluctantly agree."

"Agree reluctantly? I say, you should thank me with gratitude, because I treated you all." The white-haired boy raised his voice slightly. After getting familiar with him, he showed more of his arrogant big cat attitude and put aside his aristocratic aura.

Before Ryoumen Sukuna could respond with sarcasm, Jiang Lai spoke first: "Thank you, Yuhagi."

He smiled faintly behind his mask and said calmly, "Where is the clothing store? We don't know anything, so we'll just follow you. If it's you, you'll definitely find a suitable store."

Jiang Lai knew that Ryoumen Sukuna would not say any words of thanks, but there was no point in saying bad things to him at this moment.

So Jiang Lai simply skipped that step and started stroking the cat's fur from a distance.

The time spent with Gao Zhuanwu helped Jiang Lai master the skills of petting cats, especially when it comes to the teenage years.

The slightly raised thorns on the white-haired boy's face were smoothly smoothed out. He seemed to be in a much better mood. He leaned slightly with his guide stick in his hand and said, "Well - of course, I'm familiar with this place. Then follow me."

Ryoumen Sukuna sneered from behind, but ultimately did not say anything to add fuel to the fire.

He followed slowly, keeping a distance from her.

Several people walked for a distance.

The white-haired boy had an excellent memory. He navigated through the small alleys filled with scattered shops and crowded people, and after many twists and turns, he successfully arrived at a shop that sold and customized clothes.

The location of this store is not particularly good, but according to the white-haired boy Yu Hagi, this is the place where he found the best clothing materials after observation, and the clothes in this store will definitely fit well and be comfortable to wear.

At this point, the white-haired boy hummed and said to Sukuna: "Although I am a little annoyed with you guys, after all, you are here to help punish evil and promote good - I will not treat you badly in terms of supplies."

Hearing that word again, Ryoumen Sukuna couldn't help but let out a disgusted expression again: "...Shut up, you disgusting person."

"Hmm?" The white-haired boy raised his eyebrows slightly behind the cloth strip, and finally realized something from it. He repeated it with a bit of mischief, "Disgusting? Then I have to say more - the chivalrous and righteous Ryomen Sukuna?"

Ryomen Sukuna responded by throwing several vicious cursed blades at him in a crisscross pattern (although he still blocked them).

Jiang Lai silently put up the book and took a few more photos of Black History.

A few people made a brief noise at the door, and then the waiter came out, bowed and said, "Are you looking for clothes? Please come in."

"Well, buy a bigger piece of clothing." The white-haired boy Yu Hao turned around, leaned on his guide stick again, put on a reserved aura, and smiled, "Sorry, I can't see. You need to talk to my friend about the details of the communication."

Jiang Lai took a few steps forward naturally: "Just come to me. May I ask if there are any daily clothes with wide sleeves here?"

"Wide sleeves?" The waiter hesitated for a moment, "May I ask what your standard is?"

"The kind that the shikigami behind me can also wear." Jiang Lai did not directly say that he bought it for Ryoumen Sukuna, because he is still in disguise as a shikigami, and the shikigami in the eyes of others do not need additional clothing. "It can be tucked in or exposed. It's so wide that four arms can be worn."

Waiter: "Ah...if we can get the exact size, we might be able to make one for you."

"Is there anything we can pick up now?" Jiang Lai took a few steps forward and walked inside with the waiter, scanning the clothes hanging around while talking.

The waiter shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure whether you want a men's or women's kimono... As you said, the wide sleeves are only available for women."

Women's kimono... Jiang Lai recalled that in the original work, Ryomen Sukuna in the Realm of Life seemed to be wearing a wide-sleeved women's kimono.

——From this point of view, the master is more concerned with practicality rather than superficial things. He doesn't seem to care about such details at all.

"Oh, then let's get two or three kimonos for women." Jiang Lai made a decision immediately. Pragmatism comes first!

Following Jiang Lai's instructions, the waiter quickly picked out a few wide-sleeved women's kimonos with relatively simple styles and few patterns, helped pack them up, and then delivered them.

Jiang Lai thought for a few seconds and stuffed in two kimonos with big bows and intricate patterns - yes, he was really thoughtful and gave multiple options.

The white-haired boy didn't care how many pieces Jiang Lai bought. He paid on the spot. After they took the clothes, they left the store.

After they left, the owner of the store came out from behind the scenes, trembling with fear. His voice was still shaking:

"That one just now... that one just now was the Four-Armed Killer God! How did he come to our place?!"

The owner of the shop had once been on a long journey and was a survivor who witnessed the massacre at Ryomen Sukuna.

The waiter was a little stunned when he heard this: "What?"

The shop owner grabbed his clothes and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and report to the Yin-Yang master on the mountain. That guy is a monster who kills without blinking an eye. His companions must be the same! - We offer sacrifices to him every year, and he said he would protect us!"
