I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm Chapter 111 : Sorry for the Wait!
Jiang Lai collected the finger and left without lingering or any nostalgia. As an [Existence], his hearing was extrely sharp, so he naturally heard Fushiguro gumi's final low words squeezed from between his lips and teeth.
His heart stirred slightly, but he didn't stop for it, continuing to pretend his amnesiac state.
Jiang Lai was very rational. He knew that outside, with many eyes watching, it wasn't convenient to reveal the truth.
Moreover, with secrets, naturally the fewer people who knew the better. This had nothing to do with trust, just from an objective standpoint, this approach was most appropriate.
Currently, in the jujutsu world, only three people knew that Jiang Lai hadn't truly lost his mory: Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko.
All three possessed complete mories of the second playthrough restart from yesterday's events. They were the ones who had spent these years laying traps and secretly pressuring the Supervisory Committee.
At this mont, having helped resolve the cursed spirit trouble, Jiang Lai stepped out of the gradually collapsing illusory domain, his form landing nimbly and swiftly in a hidden, safe position. Then he looked down at the finger isolated by spatial techniques in his palm.
Ryon Sukuna's finger was a troubleso thing. As a special-grade cursed object containing powerful force, it held strong attraction for cursed spirits. Therefore, it had to be properly stored away.
But how to store it and where were the questions.
Jiang Lai pondered.
It had to be entrusted to soone trustworthy and powerful enough to handle accidents involving the finger, like Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru.
Gojo Satoru was currently not in the country, so he couldn't hand over Ryon Sukuna's finger to him. Moreover, to solidly establish his situation of being amnesiac and without aid, he'd better be careful not to have such obvious item exchanges with Gojo Satoru.
The sa applied to Geto Suguru, it wasn't convenient for him to take such items either.
From this perspective, it was most appropriate for him to keep it himself. So where to put it?
Thoughts flowed through Jiang Lai's mind. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly rembered that the ga called [ and Spirits and New Routes] had a backpack function. He wondered if his technique [Electronic Spirits] could also simulate the ga's item storage function.
Since there was already the guide Kyubey, it should also be equipped with this function, right?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. After his technique confird the surrounding area was safe, he switched identities, transforming into the brown-haired boy's appearance.
Jiang Lai knew he needed to handle the finger before Itadori Yuji and the others ca out, so he summoned the guide without delay.
Light flowed, and a cute, pink, adorable creature appeared on scene. It was the guide Hiroki Kyubey!
"Mirai." Hiroki Kyubey was artificial intelligence data, wandering through networks daily, so he was always available. Sensing the summon, he ca to this place.
His face lit up with a smile, speaking with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Hiroki!" Little Sheep Jiang Lai's face also blood with a smile. He showed Ryon Sukuna's finger to the other, "Can you sense a storage backpack? If possible, help store this."
Hiroki Kyubey's fluffy big tail swayed. He closed his eyes to sense for a few seconds, then opened them: "I can. There are currently three initial slots available. Just place the finger in front of ."
Jiang Lai was delighted to hear this. He moved quickly, placing Ryon Sukuna's finger on the ground.
Hiroki Kyubey focused, directing his attention to Ryon Sukuna's finger. The space around the finger twisted slightly, then swallowed it, entering the invisible backpack space.
"Done." Hiroki Kyubey exhaled, then said, "Can you sense the finger's aura?"
Jiang Lai released cursed energy to test, sensing nothing, and answered: "No. Looks like this backpack is quite useful." His eyes curved into crescents, "Thanks for helping store it, Hiroki!"
"You're welco." Hiroki Kyubey showed a cute smile, "Perfect timing. I'll go back and input the finger data into the database of that world. Maybe I can make so new rchandise."
"Eh?" Jiang Lai was slightly surprised, "You're doing rchandise too?"
"Naturally." Hiroki Kyubey winked playfully, "By the way, I'm a Mirai stan! I've made friends with several netizens who also follow Mirai, including one whose address is in Arica."
"Really? Do you communicate in English?" Jiang Lai asked curiously. As artificial intelligence, Noah's Ark Hiroki could use multiple languages, but because his original form was a Japanese child, he habitually used Japanese daily.
"No, the other person knows Japanese, so I continued using Japanese." Hiroki Kyubey said, "But that person seems quite busy and doesn't go online much. Occasionally they ask to buy so Little Sheep daily life rchandise."
"Making more friends is good too. As long as you're happy." Jiang Lai hugged Hiroki Kyubey, embracing the pink adorable creature in his arms.
Hiroki Kyubey continued smiling: "I heard your recent dark rchandise series sold very well. If you have related inspiration, you can let know. I can also make fan rchandise! I'll save the profits for you."
He hadn't expected Hiroki to recently beco enthusiastic about making rchandise too. But seeing the other seed very happy, Jiang Lai also smiled and patted Hiroki Kyubey's head: "Sure, let think what other dark tricks I have."
Hiroki Kyubey: "It doesn't have to be dark."
Since outsiders couldn't see electronic spirits, Little Sheep Jiang Lai changed position, letting Hiroki Kyubey lie on his shoulder.
He put the bluetooth earpiece from his pocket in his ear, pretending to be on a phone call, so his conversational movents wouldn't seem abrupt.
Then, Little Sheep Jiang Lai chatted with Hiroki Kyubey on his shoulder while walking out of this narrow alley.
Outside, the sky was just right, warm light illuminating their path ahead.
On the other side.
Not long ago, Nanami Kento, Haibara Yu, and Itadori Yuji had encountered the orchestrator of this illusion layout. As Jiang Lai had guessed, the person behind it was indeed the special-grade cursed spirit Mahito.
Regarding the previous outco, Mahito was naturally displeased, so this ti he specifically found a finger to feed to the cursed spirit whose technique was simulation, laying out this illusory space to carry out his revenge here.
Mahito's target was Nanami Kento. He had held a grudge against the other's attack from the Satozakura School incident last ti, so this ti he seized the opportunity to kill him.
And being fond of toying with human hearts, he naturally planned to ntally harm Itadori Yuji by killing Nanami Kento, maybe even having a chance to reclaim the fragnt lost last ti.
He didn't dare directly use his soul-touching technique against Itadori Yuji because Ryon Sukuna was still inside Itadori Yuji's body.
When special-grade cursed spirit Mahito accidentally touched and disturbed Sukuna earlier, Ryon Sukuna's cold killing intent was overwhelmingly oppressive. But Sukuna, who enjoyed watching the excitent, spared Mahito this once.
That instant outpouring of cursed energy and killing intent was precisely what Matsuda Jinpei had keenly sensed from afar.
In the later stages of battle, when Mahito found that Nanami Kento, who had fought him before, was prepared for his every move, he shifted his attack target at the last mont.
He planned to surprise attack Haibara Yu, who had been providing side support. Killing Haibara was also a form of revenge against Nanami Kento.
Just when Mahito suddenly shifted targets and tried to touch Haibara Yu, Itadori Yuji moved nimbly and bravely forward to block.
Thus, the soul-touching Mahito once again offended Ryon Sukuna, who was squatting in Itadori Prison.
This ti, Ryon Sukuna, who had watched enough excitent, no longer gave "this won't happen again" forgiveness.
He directly struck back without rcy. Even among special grades there were differences, and the Curse King's attack, even just one strike, was enough to cause severe damage!
Mahito couldn't dodge in ti and took it hard, his soul trembling and damaged!
Coincidentally, the surrounding illusory domain also began to collapse. Mahito looked quite astonished, obviously not expecting soone could deal with the cursed spirit that had devoured the finger.
Mahito had no ti to recover the finger. He probably guessed sothing unexpected had happened on that side. Even if he went, he couldn't retrieve the finger, so he could only retreat again with hatred in his heart.
But his expression still showed a smiling face. When retreating, he was as slippery and agile as a snake. None of the three, Itadori Yuji and the others, could stop him.
After Mahito's form disappeared into the distance, Itadori Yuji wanted to chase, but Nanami Kento grabbed his hood.
The serious-faced adult shook his head, saying: "Can't catch up. They're all very cunning. We need to check on Fushiguro and Kugisaki-kun's situation, as well as Watanabe and the others."
"Oh, right!" Itadori Yuji imdiately refocused his attention on his friends.
Haibara Yu called out: "Eh? That running from the distance is... Watanabe's shikigami?"
During training the past few days, they had glimpsed Little Sheep Jiang Lai's summoned spirit familiars from afar. Though they hadn't interacted closely, they had so impression of their appearances.
Black wolf-dog Matsuda Jinpei ran following the cursed energy fluctuations, stopping gracefully at a distance.
With his cigarette dangling, he nodded: "They're over there. I ca to find you, then lead the way."
Fushiguro gumi and Kugisaki Nobara completely exorcised the cursed spirit that had been stripped of its finger and severely wounded by Jiang Lai.
After experiencing a series of events and completing this final task, Fushiguro gumi exhaled heavily, no longer forcing himself to stand straight. His form staggered a few tis before he tiredly sat on the ground.
Kugisaki Nobara didn't tease him this ti. She also looked very tired, her expression carrying indescribable complexity.
After half a mont of silence, Kugisaki Nobara sighed and spoke first: "Don't get too imrsed in your emotions. A lot probably happened in between. But thinking positively, that person helped us before. Maybe his subconscious still rembers sothing."
"......" Fushiguro gumi lowered his eyelids, then raised them. His voice was sowhat hoarse but remained calm, "I know. I'm not imrsed in emotions, just thinking about what's behind this."
"Gojo-sensei should also have mories. When we ntioned that person multiple tis before, he always gave evasive, playful responses." Fushiguro gumi said, "Gojo-sensei knows more than us, maybe he also knows the reason behind this and who the real enemy is."
"You want to ask him?" Kugisaki Nobara raised an eyebrow.
Fushiguro gumi's gaze fell on the ground ahead. He stared at the earth, and after a while, said: "I'll ask, but I won't press for details."
"But one thing..." The sea urchin-haired boy narrowed his eyes, slowly saying, "I must know who the real enemy is."
Kugisaki Nobara said: "What? You think there are enemies besides cursed spirits?"
"If it were only cursed spirits, Gojo-sensei wouldn't hide things from us, and wouldn't... just silently listen to news about that person without proactively doing anything." Fushiguro gumi analyzed calmly, "There must be sothing more troubleso in between."
Neither spoke for a mont.
Kugisaki Nobara pressed one hand to her forehead, drawing out her voice: "Ahh, how troubleso. Cursed spirits were annoying enough, and now there are other botherso guys."
Then she lowered her hand, her eyes sparkling, her words firm and powerful. "Of course, all sorts of miscellaneous things will have to be smashed to pieces by this young lady in the future!"
The girl's attitude was bold and unrestrained. Fushiguro gumi's expression also eased sowhat.
He thought, no matter what, these friends would walk together on the sa path.
"Anyway, at least a thousand years later, one regret was made up for." Kugisaki Nobara's tone was light, her brows and eyes lifting, "I still rember what was said a thousand years ago: the spirited trio, now we have it!"
The girl's cheeks suddenly blood with a bright smile, which she quickly restrained, coughing once.
"Mm... Itadori-kun, as my bag-carrying assistant, barely qualified!" Kugisaki Nobara deliberately used an affected tone, nodding.
Fushiguro gumi seed to maintain his usual indifferent expression, but his lips curved slightly upward.
The orange-haired girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, kicking stones with her feet, then muttered the second half: "Just made us wait too long."
As her words fell, she caught sight of a figure getting closer from the corner of her eye, so she looked up.
In the distance, she saw the pink-haired boy following the black wolf-dog, striding toward them.
Seeing his friends safe and sound from afar, his face broke into a huge smile as he called out loudly:
"Fushiguro! Kugisaki! I'm coming!"
Fushiguro gumi looked over, his blue-green eyes clearly reflecting the approaching figure.
Kugisaki Nobara straightened her spine, hands on her hips, raising her voice with full montum:
"Hey, Itadori, hurry up! We've been waiting for you!"
A thousand years of ti, we've been waiting for you.
The voice carried over the distance, mixed with so subtle complaints, anticipation, and laughter.
Itadori Yuji was sowhat puzzled by the mixed emotions in those words, scratching his head, but still smiled broadly. His spirits soaring, he waved his arms enthusiastically, shouting back:
"Hi! Sorry for the wait!!!"
He ran with great strides like the wind, crossing dozens of ters, as if crossing a thousand years of distance, bounding energetically toward them.
