Extra 4.6
Gojo Satoru's rare serious tone made Jiang Lai pause for a moment. After a moment, he nodded and replied, "Okay."
However, Jiang Lai did not stop there, but continued to ask: "But why, Mr. Gojo?"
He knew that Gojo Satoru in the original work hated the high-level curse player, but he didn't have such an attitude.
The advice just now didn't just sound like he was disliking them and didn't want to have any contact with them, but it sounded more like he thought... one of them would harm him.
It’s just like the top management would secretly harm Yuji Itadori - because there are two Sukuna in Yuji Itadori’s body.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai's thoughts paused.
If we infer from this, could it be that the world consciousness has also added something to his body? That is why Gojo Satoru pays so much "special attention" to him, reminding him to stay away from the upper levels, not to leave school, etc.
Could it be that I am also the container of some special cursed spirit? It's just that the special cursed spirit in my body has not awakened yet.
Or do I have some special physique in the world of magic that is as useful as the astral plasma body?
Jiang Lai's expression was a little blank for a moment as he was making wild guesses in his mind.
Gojo Satoru, who was in the main driving seat, still held the steering wheel with one hand. He looked ahead and said in a brisk voice, "Well, there's not so many reasons. I don't like those senior executives. You are my assistant, and we are a united front, so you have to hate them too. It's that simple~"
Jiang Lai: “…”
It actually sounds reasonable! Very enlightening.
"As for why I suggest you not to leave school alone—" Gojo Satoru dragged out the last word, his tone deliberately a little heavy, with a slightly eerie breath, "Our school is located in the wilderness, and there are evil wolves around who specialize in eating teenagers like you~"
Jiang Lai couldn't help but frown. He coughed and said, "... Mr. Gojo, I'm an adult now. This kind of story can only fool children."
"Oh! How could I lie to you, Lai~" Gojo Satoru laughed, and he said slowly and in a low voice, "The evil wolves are extremely cunning, usually lurking in the dark, but once they find you alone, they will rush up and eat you up. Before you have the power to protect yourself, it is best to stay in a safe place."
Hearing this, Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly. Inexplicably, he felt that Gojo Satoru seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words.
Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori and No Rose Kugizaki in the back row, however, just thought it was another prank by Mr. Gojo.
They had long been accustomed to their teacher's bad taste, so they didn't think much about it.
Kugizaki Norose raised her voice and said, "Don't listen to what Mr. Gojo says. There are no wolves around our school, but there are indeed many wild beasts. It's best not to go out at night."
"The top brass are indeed troublesome," Fushiguro Megumi added. "Try not to interact with them unless necessary."
"If you want to go out and play, we can take you." Yuji Itadori patted his chest and invited warmly, "If you need any help at school, you can also come to us."
"Okay." Jiang Lai came back to his senses, nodded and smiled, "Then I'll say thank you first."
"I haven't finished talking about the topic just now." Gojo Satoru took control of the steering wheel. There happened to be a street intersection ahead. He slowed down the car and glanced at Jiang Lai with his blue eyes under the sunglasses. The corners of his lips curled up, "But what if you encounter a vicious wolf? What are you going to do?"
The topic came back unexpectedly. Jiang Lai blinked, thought seriously, and replied: "If you can run, you must run. But two legs can't run faster than four legs, so maybe you still have to think of a way to fight back. The best way is to have a gun that can protect yourself."
"Hmm - so you need weapons." Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers and made a quick decision, "Okay, the school's storage. I'll take you to choose later."
Huh? Jiang Lai was slightly stunned. He certainly knew what Gojo Satoru meant - the weapons in the storage should refer to the cursed tools. But he was surprised by the selection privilege that Gojo Satoru opened for him.
Could it be that I really have some special container or special physique? Jiang Lai's thoughts sublimated.
Fu Huding and others in the back row were also slightly startled, but they didn't say much.
As new sorcerers, they are well aware of the dangers of the sorcery world. If Jiang Lai wants to participate in the sorcery world, he needs to have the ability to defend himself.
Fushiguro's thoughts were the most complicated. He had no idea what happened to the black-haired co-pilot.
He remembered the man's powerful movements when he stepped into the alley before he fainted. He knew that the other party had cursed power and magic.
But now, Jiang Lai in front of him, whose age has obviously shrunk, looks like an ordinary person without cursed power and techniques.
What happened while she was unconscious? Fushiguro Megumi lowered her eyelids and fluttered her eyelashes. How did she protect herself?
For a moment, everyone in the car was in their own thoughts and no one spoke.
The car crossed the intersection and started driving into the ring road leading to the college.
After leaving the city, Gojo Satoru no longer restricted the speed of the car. He stepped on the accelerator decisively and started to drive at a high speed as he wished.
This scared Jiang Lai, and he quickly grabbed the handle diagonally above.
He had experienced the feeling of riding a speeding car before in the world of science - yes, it would be more appropriate to mention Toru Amuro here, or to be more precise, Bourbon.
At this moment, Jiang Lai felt the adrenaline rush again, and he quickly said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Gojo! This is a mountain road!! Mountain road!!"
Driving so fast on a mountain road, you are really risking your life!
"Relax~" Gojo Satoru opened the car window and let the whistling wind blow his hair freely. He laughed happily, "We are on the road to freedom!"
Jiang Lai twitched his lips. He didn't know when Gojo Satoru became so artistic. He was still concerned about the very realistic safety issue: "No matter what, please obey the traffic rules on the mountain road, Gojo teacher! Otherwise it will be dangerous!"
"No." Gojo Satoru held the steering wheel with one hand, his blue eyes behind the sunglasses shining brightly. His voice was steady, "Where I am, it will be absolutely safe... This time, for sure."
Jiang Lai was almost blinded by the wind that blew in, but he still turned his head to look at Gojo Satoru.
He didn't know why, but he felt that these seemingly everyday conversations contained more unspoken secrets.
What is it?
They finally arrived safely at Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
Although Jiang Lai believed in his best skills during the fast driving, he was still inevitably frightened, and his back was still cold when he got off the car.
...Next time, I will never let Gojo Satoru drive the car himself! Jiang Lai thought silently in his heart.
After returning to the Jujutsu High School, Gojo Satoru did not rush to take Jiang Lai to the Jujutsu Tool Room to choose weapons. Instead, he took Jiang Lai to the infirmary first, under the pretext of an employment physical examination.
This made Jiang Lai think that there was something special about him. That was why he had to take a "pre-employment physical examination".
Only Ieiri Naoko was in the Tokyo Polytechnic's medical room. When her eyes fell on Jiang Lai, she paused slightly. She clenched the hand that was holding the medical instrument and tightened the medical glove.
"..." Ieiri Naoko put down the medical equipment in her hand and her eyes met with Gojo Satoru for a moment.
"Glass." Gojo Satoru put one hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder and said, "This is my new assistant, teaching assistant and housekeeper, Xiao Lai~ Please give him a physical examination."
"Hello." Jiang Lai said politely, "Excuse me."
Ieiri Naoko frowned slightly and turned to Gojo Satoru first: "Six Eyes too..."
"The six eyes can only see curses, not other things, so I'll have to ask Naoko to do a physical examination~" Before Iori Naoko finished her words, Gojo Satoru interrupted her and said with a grin, "After all, it's another way to try."
Jiang Lai noticed this detail very well. He felt that Jialiu Nishiko's attitude towards him seemed a little strange.
What Ieiri Nozomi wanted to say just now was probably a question like "Can't the six eyes see anything?"
So, is it really as I guessed? Either there is a Kuroe, another me. Or I am special, carrying something, or I have some special properties.
I can't possibly have lost my memory, Jiang Lai thought silently. That's too ridiculous.
Jialiu Nishiko stared at Jiang Lai for two or three seconds, then sighed and waved, "Come closer, let me take a look."
Jiang Lai walked over obediently and followed the doctor's instructions for the next move.
The physical examination didn't take too long and soon everything was over.
Ieiri Shoko held the report and waved to Gojo Satoru, indicating that she wanted to talk to him alone.
So Jiang Lai walked out of the infirmary tactfully and closed the door. He sat on the bench outside, waiting for them to finish talking and for Gojo Satoru to take him to the dormitory.
Although there was only a wall between them, Jiang Laisi had no intention of eavesdropping.
He knew that the two people inside were big names in the world of sorcery, and he was just an ordinary tourist. If they were deliberately hiding something, there was no way he would be able to eavesdrop.
So he simply emptied his mind and sat outside in a daze, while checking his phone.
The phone is still being upgraded, but a new icon has appeared on the desktop - it is the chat software icon, and there is a [Limited Time] mark in the lower right corner.
Limited time? Jiang Lai was a little confused, but he still planned to open the software.
No matter what, the phone will not harm him. Now that a program has been updated, it is necessary to click on it to get more information.
However, before he could do anything, a slightly surprised voice sounded not far away: "Hey? Is it you...?"
Jiang Lai raised his head subconsciously and saw two people walking towards him from a distance - the familiar blond adult Nanami Kento wearing pin-nose glasses, and the younger sister Haibara Yuu with a look of surprise on his face.
...Grayhara Yu? ?!
Jiang Lai's pupils trembled.
Wait, according to the original story, didn't Haibara Yuu already die? ! Why is there——
Huiyuan Yu had a slightly surprised expression on his face, but after he walked in, he calmed down and rubbed his cheeks a little embarrassedly: "Ah, sorry, you looked a little familiar to me just now, but when I got closer, I realized that I recognized you wrong, or maybe I remembered it wrong! After all, it happened a long time ago... Are you a new student?"
Nanami Kento also looked at Jiang Lai, his calm gaze carrying an unmistakable scrutiny. He did not speak, and his attitude was neither too close nor too distant.
Kento Nanami didn't feel familiar with him at first, but he knew that Haibara Yu had a very good image memory. Since his friend said so, he must have seen someone who looked similar before.
So he searched deep into his memory, and finally recalled something about a long-ago friend of Wu's, a mysterious and mature black-haired young man whom he had met once when he was in high school.
The man in front of me looks 80% like the black-haired young man back then, except that he is younger. Is it a coincidence, or...?
"I'm new here." Jiang Lai nodded in response to Huiyuan Xiong's question, and then quickly asked, "Why do you think I look familiar?"
Before Haibara Yu could answer, the door of the infirmary opened inward and Gojo Satoru walked out.
"Hey! Nanami and Huibara are back. Are you looking for Nozomi for a routine checkup?" Gojo Satoru held the medical report in his hand. He waved his hand and then called Jiang Lai, "You are in good health. There is nothing wrong. Come on, I'll take you to the dormitory."
Jiang Lai opened his mouth, actually wanting to hear Huiyuan Xiong's answer, but he knew that now was not the right time.
So he stood up and followed Gojo Satoru's steps, with thoughts flowing in his heart.
I don’t have the aura of being admired by everyone, so these attitudes of people are very problematic!
And the plot has changed. This is not the direction of the original novel.
...Seriously, is this really not the world where Hei Jiang exists? Jiang Lai pondered.
I always feel that this is very much like Heijiang deceived a lot of people, played enough drama, and then patted its butt and left happily, leaving behind a bunch of rotten stalls.
He won't take the blame for his peers!
Jiang Lai: Amnesia is so ridiculous, it shouldn’t be the case.
