I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm Chapter 190 : Jiang Lai - You're strong, but I'm stronger (F
This response was maximally sarcastic. Even Ryon Sukuna fell silent for a few tenths of a second.
Imdiately after, Ryon Sukuna sneered coldly, drawing out his tone: "Oh, you always pull this act of nobles forgetting many things......"
Jiang Lai cut him off mid-sentence, smiling as he continued: "If you want to consider a noble, then go ahead. I just think I'm very ordinary."
Ryon Sukuna: "......"
Itadori Yuji couldn't help but stifle a laugh, and Fushiguro gumi's expression also relaxed slightly. At the sa ti, both felt a strange familiarity.
......This way of speaking inexplicably resembled how Gojo-sensei cheerfully teased people daily!
However, Gojo-sensei was openly annoying. The black-haired youth before them had a natural, spring rain-like quality and innocence. Even when saying annoying things, people felt he didn't an it.
Having seen many storms, Ryon Sukuna's emotional control was very good (or perhaps he'd been worn down sowhat by Jiang Lai a thousand years ago). In any case, besides a derisive snort, he showed no other emotional reactions.
Ryon Sukuna's crimson single eye on Itadori's cheek glanced at Jiang Lai, speaking first to redirect the topic with his usual villainous tone: "What is it? What do you want from ?"
Hearing the other's word choice, Jiang Lai frowned slightly then relaxed, saying calmly: "The fragnt you took at Riko High School before, I want it back: not giving and asking, but fair trade."
"Fair trade?" Ryon Sukuna's voice rose. "What do you have to trade with ?"
Jiang Lai wasn't eager to ntion he had fingers on his side. Actually, he hadn't planned to conduct the fragnt-finger trade at this mont. Now wasn't the critical ti yet.
Therefore, he asked back: "In that case, you tell first: what do you want?"
Ryon Sukuna grinned and laughed heartily, his laughter very unrestrained. Itadori Yuji instinctively raised his hand to slap his own cheek, then suddenly realized Sukuna was conversing with the person before him and abruptly stopped his movent.
"What do I want?" Ryon Sukuna leisurely repeated, as if savoring these words slowly. But he didn't imdiately make demands.
After a mont, he asked seemingly nonchalantly: "Why are you suddenly interested in the fragnt I have?"
Here it cos. Jiang Lai's heart tensed slightly. Ryon Sukuna was using this to test his mory and intelligence situation. The other seed quite concerned about this aspect.
Regarding this, Jiang Lai had long prepared his attitude. Just as designed in the plan, showing a semi-amnesiac posture would suffice.
Facing Ryon Sukuna's question, Jiang Lai's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyelashes fluttering. After pausing briefly, he replied: "...... This question isn't important to you."
"I didn't ask you that." Ryon Sukuna sneered. "What I asked was: what do you want this fragnt for?"
That crimson single eye floating on Itadori's cheek stared at Jiang Lai, saying thodically: "If you tell the truth, maybe I'll be in a good mood and consider giving you a chance to trade."
The remaining auxiliary traits of [Existence] gave Ryon Sukuna superior observational abilities. Moreover, as the King of Curses, having seen countless faces a thousand years ago, he had his own judgnt about lies and truth.
However, this judgnt could fail sotis, especially when facing high-level perforrs: for example, Kenjaku, and Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai: ...... Having broken the fourth wall multiple tis, I've already developed excellent acting skills!.jpg
Hearing Sukuna's words, the black-haired youth's expression paused slightly. Finally, he looked up and said: "I want to keep it for the important original owner."
Neither Itadori Yuji nor Fushiguro gumi could understand these words. The two youths sat in the room, just listening to Jiang Lai and Sukuna's conversation in slight confusion.
Ryon Sukuna didn't know much about [Existence], but of course knew there were others besides Jiang Lai. Hearing such words now, he pulled an exaggerated smile: "Oh, looks like your brain has improved? Or are you not pretending at this mont?"
That single eye carrying cold aura stared intently at the black-haired youth before him.
However, the navy blue kimono figure only gazed back with steady brown eyes, no excess emotions leaking out.
Jiang Lai: Anyway, no matter how much he rembers, bratty little brother definitely has to rember last! Otherwise how could there be various s like "who are you, who's this, are you okay?"
"I've stated my reason. Now back to the original topic. For the other half of the trade, what do you want?" Jiang Lai's tone was calm.
"Ah, this question." Ryon Sukuna deliberately paused before pulling a malicious smile. "Of course, to pry open your skull, chop off your limbs, then put them in a pot to simr slowly."
"Unfortunately, you've made yourself into this cursed spirit appearance now. I don't know if the above steps are still achievable." Sukuna seed to be pondering. "I've never tried cursed spirit before. I could start with you."
Hearing this, Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro gumi tensed up.
Especially Fushiguro gumi, who had mories from a thousand years ago. Having coexisted in the sa era as Sukuna, he had witnessed villages swept by the King of Curses, the fire pile remains and white bones at village entrances showing the terrible events that had occurred.
Now the King of Curses' blade was clearly aid at the black-haired youth, even though the other was now also a special-grade cursed spirit like himself.
Hearing these words, Jiang Lai felt no fear, since he'd long known Sukuna's character and actions. His only thought now was: worthy of being the owner of Malevolent "Kitchen," a super food enthusiast!
Even after a thousand years, his original intention remained unchanged. In a certain sense, he was also a persistent dream-chaser (not).
Jiang Lai blinked lightly, his voice as calm as usual: "This isn't fair trade. You know I won't agree to such conditions. Such conversation is just wasting both our ti."
"Of course, if you're too lonely from lacking companionship, I can spare more ti to care for solitary elderly." Jiang Lai spoke sincerely, his eyes gentle. "Do you need chat companionship services?"
Ryon Sukuna: "......" He made short retching sounds, looking thoroughly disgusted.
After a thousand years, Jiang Lai still skillfully mastered how to quickly disgust the King of Curses.
Itadori Yuji pointed to the Sukuna eye on his cheek, reproaching: "Can you not make those sounds on my face? It's weird."
"You don't get to speak here, brat." Ryon Sukuna's voice was low. "Move your hand away, or do you not want it anymore?"
"Don't threaten children." Jiang Lai said. "Let's continue the previous topic: propose reasonable trade conditions."
"......" Ryon Sukuna was rarely sowhat silent, not rushing to answer, as if seriously considering.
After a brief pause, he said leisurely: "How about this: establish a binding vow, resolve this problem through battle outco."
"Let's have a match. Whoever cuts the other's throat first wins. How about it?"
Ryon Sukuna pulled a smile, his crimson eye curving exaggeratedly.
"If you win, I'll give you the fragnt. If I win...... you cannot use or receive reverse cursed technique."
Cursed spirits were cursed energy condensations that naturally mastered reverse cursed technique abilities. If the battle content was throat-cutting and losing ant not being allowed to use or receive reverse cursed technique, wouldn't that an enduring bleeding?
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly. For cursed spirits, the throat might not be a fatal wound, but inability to heal would still cause great trouble.
"This doesn't sound very fair." Jiang Lai said. "And the latter has no ti limit. I can't possibly never use or receive reverse cursed technique forever."
"Then make it effective for three days." Ryon Sukuna added. "Let see the effect of this thod. Bloodletting consumption is also a type of cooking operation."
Sukuna wanted to experint. Jiang Lai thought. But he wouldn't let the other win.
Actually, Jiang Lai had no intention of winning or losing. Besides the two outcos of victory and defeat, battles could also abruptly end.
This battle was originally just a lead-in, to draw Sukuna out so he could conveniently perform space-ti reversal. He wasn't eager to collect fragnts; leaving them with Sukuna was another form of safe insurance.
This battle proposed by Sukuna was inherently biased. After all, Jiang Lai couldn't possibly really cut Sukuna's throat, since Sukuna occupied Itadori's body.
Itadori Yuji's body was human; being cut in the throat would an death.
Ryon Sukuna had probably thought of this point too, which was why he proposed such conditions.
Jiang Lai: How to put it, worthy of being a twisted little brother!
Hearing their conversation, both Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro gumi looked stunned.
Fushiguro gumi directly said seriously: "...... No, this won't work! This kind of trade is too dangerous."
Accurately speaking, only the black-haired youth was in danger. Even if Sukuna's throat was cut, he could quickly heal with reverse cursed technique.
"What's it to you? This is a conversation between him and ." Sukuna sneered. "Besides, this was his proposed trade: when you have nothing, what else can you exchange but yourself?"
"I agree." Jiang Lai nodded. After pausing, he added to the two youths: "Don't worry. It won't destroy buildings or harm you."
Gojo Satoru was outside ready at any ti, able to perfectly interrupt the battle at the right mont. Jiang Lai knew this in his heart but didn't say it out loud.
Fushiguro gumi pressed his lips straight, emotions tense.
Sukuna's trade obviously had problems. His techniques were slashing attacks, while that person's spatial techniques leaned more toward control and defense.
Moreover, the black-haired youth had to spend extra cursed energy maintaining spatial barriers to confine the battlefield and avoid affecting surroundings.
In such a situation, Sukuna clearly had the advantage.
After his daze, Itadori Yuji also shook his head: "...... No, I can't let Sukuna co out."
His eyes were resolute as he said to Jiang Lai: "I'm sorry. Please also think twice. I've swallowed several more fingers recently. His power is stronger than before."
No wonder Sukuna wanted to fight . Jiang Lai thought.
Previously in the innate domain, he had tied with Sukuna. Now, having devoured several more fingers, Sukuna's power had increased, so he naturally thought he could beat Jiang Lai.
He just probably didn't know that after contacting [Origin], Jiang Lai's power had also risen.
Facing the serious Itadori Yuji, Jiang Lai didn't try to persuade further. He knew that since Sukuna had proposed the battle binding invitation, he naturally had ways to co out.
This was a good chance to witness how Sukuna erged, along with Itadori and Fushiguro.
Jiang Lai's thoughts flowed.
According to original work intelligence, Sukuna might use a binding vow he'd previously signed with Itadori.
The binding content was: when Sukuna said the words "enchain," Itadori would have to give him control of the body for one minute, during which Sukuna promised not to harm anyone. At the sa ti, Itadori would forget this agreent.
In the original work, this binding was originally prepared by Sukuna for switching vessels.
However, in the new series, the current plot direction had already taken a big turn, plus there was the separation cursed tool. Sukuna's application of this binding had probably beco more flexible accordingly.
Jiang Lai didn't belong to the human category. Using this binding, Sukuna could freely use slashing attacks during that minute.
Sure enough, after chuckling lightly, Ryon Sukuna whispered: "[Enchain]."
