Chapter 86 Night Visit to the Gojo Family
They returned to their original location in the woods, where the package contained tools and condiments.
Jiang Lai once again skillfully used the technique to process the rabbit meat, and under the slightly surprised eyes of the black-haired child, he easily prepared two delicious roasted rabbits.
As an [existence], he does not need to eat. Despite this, Jiang Lai still took a rabbit leg from it to satisfy his craving, and also gave one rabbit leg to the black-haired boy Xiu Ji.
As for the remaining part, it was left to the other party as a reward for Sukuna's promise when he revealed the information.
But the cherry-pink-haired boy didn't seem too satisfied with this distribution. He probably felt it was unpleasant that the ingredient (the black-haired child) had to consume another ingredient (rabbit meat).
However, Ryoumen Sukuna didn't say much in the end. After all, Jiang Lai was now in charge of the leadership distribution.
He simply tore off a large piece of meat with his canine teeth, chewed it in his mouth, and commented in a long and rising tone: "The quality is barely good, but it's a pity that the range of ingredients is too narrow - in my opinion, the meat of women and children is still the most delicious."
Jiang Lai ignored the words and did not argue with the other party. However, Shuji heard Sukuna's underworld words and quietly moved a little further away from him.
After the midnight snack, Jiang Lai used magic to clean up the scene, and set up a transparent hut for the black-haired boy Xiu Ji to isolate him from the wind and cold.
On the surface, he was just like usual, he also constructed the air hammock and took a resting posture, and did not show any sign of leaving.
Ryomen Sukuna is an incomplete [death]. He is not afraid of cold and has a stronger physique than ordinary people. However, because he is not a completely normal [existence], he still needs to sleep and eat.
Jiang Lai planned to wait for a while, until Ryoumen Sukuna fell asleep, and then use some magic to block out the sound and quietly take the black-haired boy Xiu Ji away from the place.
Having made up his mind, he lay down on the air hammock, opened his book (mobile phone), and prepared to browse the latest comic updates and forum comments.
The comic is progressing very quickly, and it has been updated to the incident where Jiang Lai rescues the black-haired child Xiu Ji.
Jiang Lai flipped through the pages, trying to find information about the witch and the traveler from the comic's bird's eye view.
Unfortunately, the contents revealed in the comics are similar to what Jiang Lai knows. When mentioning the shrine maiden and the traveler, the figure that appears in the background is a black silhouette with only the outline.

But comics are not completely without benefits.
When the character of the Gojo family with light blue eyes appeared, the comic deliberately jumped down the timeline and briefly depicted part of the content of the yesterday's past.
In the comic, at the beginning of the Yesterday chapter, the man with light blue eyes met Youwu coming down the mountain. He seemed to sense that Youwu, who was usually cold, had softened his face today, so he smiled gently and asked:
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu? You look happy."
Young Gojo Satoru did not reveal anything about his encounter with the mysterious black-haired young man at the shrine. He just casually hummed as a response.
The man with light blue eyes still had a gentle smile on his face. He signaled the servants who came up the mountain to look for him to protect the young Gojo Satoru.
The servants politely said "Third Elder" and then took the order to leave with Youwu.
The man stood still for a moment, then walked lightly towards the shrine in two or three steps.
However, when he arrived at the shrine, there was only the sound of silk bells blowing in the wind, and there was no human figure or debris at the scene.
Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
At present, he is still unclear about this person's situation and his stance.
However, the comic's description connects the person with light blue eyes whom he met by chance not long ago in the Millennium Arc and the elder mentioned by Gojo Satoru at the fireworks festival whom he met at the shrine in the future.
Jiang Lai silently listed him as a person of key concern.
Then, he opened the latest plot discussion thread and prepared to collect relevant information from it.
[It’s so funny! Raishen and Master Sukuna said that Master Sukuna was a younger brother, and Master Sukuna thought that the other party hated him.
By the way, the interaction between the two really gives me the feeling of a calm and otherworldly brother and a foolish ghost brother.]
[↑Upstairs, if you describe the master like this, be careful or he will come looking for you in the middle of the night (dog head)
What is this stupid thing? Hahaha, take off the weird filter quickly. Grandpa is very resourceful and has a very high IQ!
It's just that maybe because he can't beat Lai Shen at the moment, and he's still a teenager, so he doesn't seem that resourceful. 2333
By the way, the underworld is really very underworld, really. Killing people is like cutting vegetables. I suggest you order a song "Killing Everywhere (Original Song: Kissing Everywhere)" for Mr. Sukuna.
[Sukuna actually wants to eat Raishen! How can this be possible! (slamming the table)
How can others eat what I haven't eaten! I suggest that you quickly break through the dimensional wall and give me a bite of meat and a share of soup.
[Hey, hey, someone above made some scary comments...!! The police officer is this person——]
[Mina-san, did everyone see the person with light blue eyes? It actually matches the foreshadowing from yesterday's past chapter! I wonder what kind of character he is... From the looks of it, could it be that he has also lived for a thousand years? It can't be that he has appeared incarnated a thousand years later.]
[Reincarnation, eh, it seems like it's not impossible? In the original novel, the death and rebirth chapter is just a bunch of characters from thousands of years ago (silence)]
[Bet placed, bet placed, good guy, bad guy, buy and leave - I'll suppress a villain first, after all, there's already Lai Shen on the gentle and decent side, wouldn't it be redundant to have another one? Of course, if this person is a white-cut black-and-sinister tyrant, just ignore what I said]
[Adhering to the attitude of respecting Chimney, I will suppress a good person (dog head)]
[There is too little information. I won't take sides for now. Isn't everyone's focus on the back?
A child with blue-green eyes, frizzy black hair, and the master of ten shadow spells, doesn’t this configuration look very similar to Megumin—】
[It seems so, it feels a bit like déjà vu hhh
Come to think of it, is it because Raijin raised such a child a thousand years ago, so in the modern chapter a thousand years later, even though he has lost his memory, he will still unconsciously take care of Fushiguro Megumi?
You know, in the modern version, Raishin lived next door to Hui and saved Hui in an alley. There must be a reason for this level of help.】
[Ohhh! This feels right, the foreshadowing is right—!!]
[In the Jujutsu Kaisen episode, the feeling of reincarnation is even more prominent...
By the way, according to the comics, if Rai carries a bad karma, he will fall into a deep sleep. As mentioned before, if Rai kills someone, he will bear the bad karma of the person killed.
From this perspective, in the Yesterday and the Past chapter, when Lai Shen killed Jie Chuan, could it be that because of the bad karma he had with Jie Chuan, he fell into a deep sleep for ten years and did not appear until the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? 】
[That makes sense...! Maybe every time Raishin disappears, it's because his condition is unstable, so he can't give Gojo Satoru an accurate answer about meeting him, and just says we'll see each other again (crying)]
When Jiang Lai saw this, he was slightly stunned.
Looking at it this way, it seems that I can reasonably explain my situation at that time.
Although from his own perspective, it was a time jump, but from the perspective of the comics and the world of curses, it was the result of accumulated bad karma and the fluctuations of the divine nature.
He closed his book and put away his phone.
Under the dark night, a four-armed boy with cherry-pink hair was sleeping soundly against a tree trunk not far away.
The power of [existence] can be perfectly integrated into the evening breeze, so Ryomen Sukuna will not be awakened by the fluctuations of cursed power in the air.
Jiang Lai stood up silently, and used a spell to carry Xiu Ji, who had not slept at all because of the secret agreement in advance, and went down the mountain quietly.
This is a farewell without a farewell, Jiang Lai thought. But Ryomen Sukuna probably doesn't need a farewell either.
In the darkness, the mountain looks like the back of a whale, gradually receding into the endless night.
——
During the millennium, the Gojo clan was in Kyoto, and the name of Kyoto at that time was "Heian-kyo".
The location of Heian-kyo is not difficult to find, because it is the capital, so most civilians also know its location.
Jiang Lai was wearing a mask as he asked questions all the way. With the full power of his magic, he moved very quickly and arrived there smoothly.
The Gojo base is guarded by special personnel and is also covered by a barrier, but of course, neither of these can stop Jiang Lai, who is an [existence].
But for safety reasons - mainly Xiu Ji's safety, Jiang Lai was worried that the other party would be accidentally injured by some of the Gojo family's protective measures.
Therefore, he decided to keep the opponent in a nearby inn for the time being and set up protective space spells around him.
Then, when the day passed and night fell, Jiang Lai sneaked into the Gojo family residence with light steps.
It was convenient to move at night, and it was also more concealed. Jiang Lai looked around and listened carefully, and with an extremely delicate gesture, he slipped past the patrolling guards and arrived at the residence of the eldest son of the Gojo family.
——When he was walking around the Zenin family at night, he had almost figured out the architectural rules of the Yusan family.
The night wind blew, lifting the corners of Jiang Lai's navy blue kimono, and he leaped to the bamboo blinds.
Before he was about to pull open the barrier, the bamboo blinds were lifted from the inside.
A person with long white hair stood in the room, wearing a simple dark Japanese-style yukata. It was already midnight and it was time to rest.
There was no black and gold cloth wrapped around his face, and his bright and beautiful ice-blue eyes were clearly visible.
Liuyan had already observed Jiang Lai in advance, so he lifted the bamboo blinds first.
However, after seeing and confirming the person in front of her, the long-haired Gojo still raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, fluttered her white eyelashes, and said half-jokingly:
"Oh, it's really you - but at this point, it doesn't seem like a normal meeting... It looks more like an assassin."
Despite saying this, he still turned half sideways to leave space for Jiang Lai to enter the house.
"If I were an assassin, I would definitely poison the food or desserts during meals, which would be easier to succeed than sneaking up to the six-eyed man in the middle of the night to get in close contact with him, who has no blind spots and no limits."
Jiang Lai took off the mask on his face, made a complaint, and then smiled with his lips curled.
"After all, I don't want to interact with the public too much, and I'm not familiar with the procedures, so I didn't go through the troublesome meeting steps of delivering invitations, asking for instructions at the door, and introducing you step by step. I came directly to you. Sorry to bother you."
He jumped into the room with the long hair.
