Chapter 79 The Name of the Six Eyes Thousand Years Ago

The snow fell heavily, floating like smoke and mist. Within the radius, there was only one figure standing.

Jiang Lai guessed what had happened when he saw this scene from afar - Ryomen Sukuna had expanded his territory.

To be honest, he was a little surprised, after all, there are very few people who can fully develop their domains in their youth. But then he thought, after all, Ryoumen Sukuna is not an ordinary person.

He had never thought that such an incident would happen after he had been away for such a short time. No wonder [Birth] told him not to worry about [Death] anymore.

Ryomen Sukuna's domain - the Demon-Subduing Kitchen, when it is unfolded, no living creature can survive within a radius, and countless lives are destroyed subjectively in an instant.

Snowflakes fluttered like silver butterflies, landing on the shoulders of the white-haired boy. Jiang Lai landed gently beside him, using a magic trick to float the other person's guide stick.

Yu Hao noticed Jiang Lai appearing beside him, but he still half lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be focused on a piece of gravel of medium size not far from his feet.

"This must have been done by Sukuna." Jiang Lai spoke first.

"Yeah." Yu Hagi replied simply.

Snow flakes were falling slowly. Jiang Lai raised his hand to wipe off the thin snow on the other person's hair and shoulders, and said softly, "Why don't you turn on the unlimited limit? When the snow melts later, it will get wet."

Yu Hagi did not respond to his question, but after half a second, he said, "I originally thought that I was very strong and could achieve the result I wanted by doing anything - now it seems that this is not the case."

His back was as proudly straight as before, like a pine tree on a high cliff, but his tone was more gloomy.

"..." Jiang Lai put the book to his lips with one hand, and said gently, "If you want, you can talk to me about what happened."

“I may not be able to give you any precise advice, but I can review your thoughts with you and listen to your accumulated thoughts.”

Yu Hagi's gaze was still fixed on the piece of gravel. At this moment, the black gravel was half buried by the falling snow.

He was quiet, not sure whether he was organizing his words or thinking.

Finally, when the fine and soft white snow was about to cover the medium-sized stone, Yu Hagi narrated what had just happened in a slow voice, like a long-haired big white cat with its head hung down and its dignified and noble hair shrugging down.

Jiang Lai listened quietly, and the events that had just happened appeared in his mind frame by frame like a slide movie.

——From the moment Suehagi went to the wooden house and saw the tragic scene inside, to the slow and leisurely words spoken by Ryomen Sukuna not long ago, everything unfolded before his eyes.

Finally, Yuhagi said, "I thought it wouldn't be that hard to just help find a kid... But it ended up like this for the first time I just went out and did what I wanted to do. It was terrible."

Jiang Lai did not respond. He knew that the other party did not need his evaluation or comfort, but simply needed a listener.

So he stood aside, also without opening his own space ritual, and just like the white-haired boy beside him, bathed in the wet snow scene.

Then, Yu Hagi continued, "The last one, he asked me, 'Are you angry about the deaths of these people, or are you angry about the events going beyond your plan?' Ah... maybe it won't sound good to say it, but if I ask myself, it seems that the reason I am angry is mostly the latter."

"Oh, it's not that I don't care about other people's death. Of course I still care." The white-haired boy sighed, struggling to organize his words for a moment, and finally said in self-destruction, "Forget it, anyway--"

"I understand." Jiang Lai finally responded here, his tone was very calm, "I understand what you mean."

The Rokugan of a thousand years ago and the Rokugan of a thousand years later, although they lived in different eras, had very similar identities and statuses.

They all grew up in an environment where they were the center of attention, possessed extraordinary strength, and had an arrogant aura of being the only one who was superior to them.

——I don’t seem to care much about ordinary people, but this doesn’t mean I don’t respect life. It’s just that there is a barrier between me and others, and I can’t really integrate with them.

"You are different from Sukuna." Jiang Lai said, "Although you seem to be the kind of person who is playful, arrogant and casual, and may use your strength to beat up the guys you don't like, but you won't really kill innocent people just because of your mood."

"......Ah," Yu Hagi was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Lai to suddenly say such words.

Jiang Lai smiled and continued in a half-joking and half-seriously voice:

"For example, if you become a teacher in the future, you will probably be the kind of person who has a bad reputation for being a teacher and teases and bullies students, but is always reassuring at critical moments. In short, you still have a very caring and gentle side."

"Ah...what are you talking about!!" Yu Hagi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and a blush quickly swept across his cheeks. Teenagers are in the puberty period when their skin is the thinnest, and it was the same even a thousand years ago.

As a teenager, Rokugan could listen to those clichéd compliments a hundred times with pride, but he could not resist such sincere words that came from the analysis of the soul.

At this moment, he stuttered and tried to say something quickly, but in the end he couldn't think of a good ending, so he responded dryly:

"Anyway, well, then...thank you for the compliment."

At this time, his gaze finally left the rubble not far away and turned to face Jiang Lai.

Yu Hagi, who had already torn off the black and gold cloth, raised his pair of distant and cerulean eyes, revealing his entire face.

Jiang Lai's eyes fell on him, and his body paused slightly.

…Is it because they both have white hair and six eyes, that Uehagi and Gojo Satoru look alike!

His thoughts raced.

No, even if they have the same hair and eye color, they should still look different.

However, the first impression given to Jiang Lai by Yuhagi, who showed his full face at this moment, was that he was the long-haired version of the noble Gojo Satoru from a thousand years ago. Why do they look so similar? !

Perhaps because Jiang Lai stared at him for a little too long, Yu Hao adjusted his mentality after being suddenly praised, and returned to his usual aristocratic character, raising his eyebrows and saying:

"Why are you staring at me? Huh, I know I'm handsome."

Jiang Lai coughed, looked away, and said lightly: "I'm just observing how long it will take you to recover from that awkwardness."

"Huh?" Yu Hao curled his lips and raised his voice, "What a joke, I've heard all kinds of compliments by heart, but this is the first time I heard it from you, so I'm a little surprised."

He turned on No Limits again, isolated himself from the drifting snowflakes, brushed off the snow and ice crystals on his body, scanned the surrounding environment, and exhaled:

"…Back to the present, the current situation is——"

"You mentioned it just now." Jiang Lai continued, "Sukuna said that I can recover."

"So what exactly is restoration?" Yu Hagi tilted his head slightly, his long hair shifted to one side, and his eyelashes fluttered. "It's not a resurrection spell or something like that. It feels like some weird ritual mentioned in various sacrificial books... equivalent exchange, killing another group of people to resurrect one person or something."

"Don't stereotype it. It's certainly not a human sacrifice." Jiang Lai held the book in one hand and tapped it on his palm. "It's my ability - reversing time and space."

"..." Yu Hagi was strangely silent for a second, "Really?" He didn't seem to believe it, "I've never heard of anyone in the world being able to do this - this is too much."

"I never said I was a human either." Jiang Lai smiled and spoke in a light tone.

Yu Hagi was stunned for another second.

"I know you still care about this incident...I care too." Jiang Lai's brown eyes swept across the deserted and clean land. Not long ago, this place was a bustling small town.

He said calmly, "I will reverse time and space, and bring back the people here, as well as the girls and children on the mountain."

The black-haired young man mentioned something extremely huge and incredible, but the expression on his face when he said these words made people extremely trustworthy.

The winter wind lifted his long hair and sleeves, and the navy blue man standing there looked like a phantom cast by the moonlight.

"..." Yu Hao was silent for a while, then said, "Won't there be any price to pay?"

"I'm very strong, so don't worry." Jiang Lai smiled and tilted his head to reply, "But the subsequent troubles - such as cleaning up the monster corpses on the mountain, finding out the villagers who are connected with the monsters and letting others judge them, comforting the missing children and girls who return... These kinds of events will trouble you."

When Yu Hagi heard all this, he felt overwhelmed: "Why is it so troublesome? Why can't we just use force to solve it?"

"You've seen this incident before, too. Having strong martial arts skills doesn't guarantee a good outcome." Jiang Lai closed the book and said, "Just think of this as training your abilities in this area."

"... I don't want to do that at all." Yu Hagi twitched his lips slightly. After thinking about it, he felt that if he really reversed time and space, he would be responsible for the consequences. "Okay. I'll try my best."

He nodded reluctantly, a little reserved: "I will try to make arrangements and negotiate. Although these things are troublesome."

Jiang Lai smiled: "Then I feel relieved."

"But, what about you?" Yu Hagi followed up, "After reversing time and space, what will you do?"

Jiang Lai can sense his own strength thousands of years ago, so he can completely reverse the time and space of an entire small town in this way, and he won't devote all of it like he did in the "Yesterday" chapter.

However, after the reversal, he had to bear the sins of the [Death] sentence, so he might need a rest. He was not sure.

Therefore, Jiang Lai said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I don't plan to get too close to the human world - most likely I will find that guy Sukuna and beat him up. He left me such a rotten stall and made me work so hard. I really have to give it back to make me feel better."

Hearing this, Yu Hagi nodded in agreement and gritted his teeth and said, "Next time I will have a fight with him - damn, this guy left the things of the bad guy and ran away, it's really...!"

"By the way, this is for you." Jiang Lai returned the floating guide stick to Yu Hagi.

After the white-haired boy naturally took over, he seemed to have regained his original acting state, and resumed being the reserved noble boy on the surface, with one hand on the wooden stick.

Jiang Lai stood still, feeling his own boundless power that was in tune with nature, as if he were one with this vast expanse of ice and snow with every breath he took - he could expand his domain, selectively locate targets, and then reverse time and space within the domain.

"Just stand here, Yuhagi. I can choose that you and the monsters on the mountain will not be affected by the reversal of time and space in the domain." Jiang Lai tilted his head and said to the white-haired boy.

Yu Kai paused for a second and said, "Under the circumstances, there is no need to call me by that pseudonym. You can call me by my real name."

"Real name?" Jiang Lai blinked, "But you never told me your name."

"Ah? You didn't know?" Yu Hagi also looked surprised. "I thought you knew my name when you guessed that I was the Rokugan of Gojo Family. After all, I'm so famous."

Jiang Lai showed half-moon eyes.

Yu Hagi coughed, straightened his expression, looked over with his eyes wide open, and said seriously, "Okay, let me formally introduce myself. My name is——"

"Gojo Satoru."

Jiang Lai: Oh.

Jiang Lai: Hmm???

Gojo Satoru?? How could it be such a coincidence?!

When the Gojo family names their children, don’t they look up the names of their ancestors in history? Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing if there are duplicate names? !

Jiang Lai was in chaos in the air for a moment.

...But with similar looks, personalities, and the same name, this couldn't really be some kind of reincarnation setting, right? ?

After all, the name of "Jujutsu Kaisen" has many interpretations of "Hui", one of which is "reincarnation".

If this is really a reincarnation setting, I wonder if Gojo Satoru in the future will recall the story of a thousand years ago one day, Jiang Lai thought.

You never know, while you are in a dream, the other person may also be in a dream.

Jiang Lai's mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't show them. He just nodded and smiled, "Okay, Wu Jun, I'll remember that."

Before he could finish his next sentence, Long Hair Gojo raised his hand to stop him: "Wait, you don't have to tell me your name."

Jiang Lai blinked, slightly surprised.

"Didn't you just say that you are not human? Plus, you have the ability to reverse time and space. I have read a lot of ancient books and know a lot of stories about gods, ghosts, and monsters."

The long-haired Gotō raised his eyes and said, "I think it's not easy to get in touch with you, so I'd better not know your name first."

"If there is a chance in the future, or when I grow up and am sure that I will not let down our relationship - then, tell me." The white-haired boy's eyes were bright and shining. "Your name."

"..." Jiang Lai paused and smiled, "Okay."

Snow fluttered in the air, and the black-haired young man stood in the center of the clean field, holding a book floating beside him.

This was Jiang Lai's first attempt at a full-scale domain expansion combining time and space, but his instinct had already told him how to operate.

He put his hands together, raised his little fingers and index fingers together and pointed upwards, bent his ring and middle fingers so that the knuckles on both sides were connected, and the thumbs of both hands were touching each other with their fingertips facing himself.

"The field expands——"
