I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm Chapter 237 : Meeting Sukuna Again

With the decisive battle approaching, all matters required efficiency. After all, Brain-kun was also making intensive secret arrangents, and no one knew when he might light the final fuse.

After determining their next plan, Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru decided to implent it as soon as possible.

It happened to be nightti at the mont, so they could directly begin the dream connection.

Gojo Satoru's family head room was very safe. No one would accidentally intrude here. However, to be safe, Jiang Lai habitually added an additional spatial barrier inside the room.

"OK, I'm ready." Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers, naturally releasing his cursed energy to fill the entire room, fusing with Jiang Lai's cursed energy once again.

This laid the foundation for achieving dream connection together.

Jiang Lai used spatial techniques to construct an air hammock, lying suspended in the air in a comfortable position, nodding: "Mm, let's sleep early. See you in the dream."

This sounded like a joke, but was actually true. Both were task-focused people, so they didn't chat much, and the room quickly returned to quiet.

Jiang Lai waved his hand, using techniques to extinguish the candle fla beside the desk from a distance.

The room fell into dim darkness, with moonlight gently flowing and pouring down a lullaby.

……

The sound of dripping water echoed in his ears, a faint bloody sll lingered at his nose tip. Cold liquid flowed around his ankles, winding and slithering like snakes.

Jiang Lai opened his eyes to see a sea of cow bones and blood. On the mountain of white cow bones piled at the front sat Ryon Sukuna, resting his chin on one hand.

The cherry-pink-haired man seed to be daydreaming, or rather, removing "seed," he was daydreaming.

Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, had personally confird that what Sukuna did most while inside Itadori's body was daydream. After all, he was a super ti-killing expert who had been daydreaming for a thousand years.

Although Ryon Sukuna's daydreaming was imrsive, as the King of Curses, he could naturally keenly sense the additional cursed energy in his innate domain.

In an instant, a sharp cursed blade ca slashing diagonally!

Jiang Lai raised his hand to block with spatial techniques, but faster than his movent was the sudden surge of cursed energy beside him. A small [Red] shot fiercely toward that cursed blade, the collision splashing blood throughout the domain!

Ryon Sukuna on the cow bone mountain clicked his tongue. He looked down at the two people on the ground, his crimson eyes narrowing, saying thoughtfully: "How unexpected, to see you two guys here at the sa ti."

His gaze carried scrutiny, cutting over Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru.

Sukuna chuckled: "What's this, didn't you prepare to fight Six Eyes last ti? Now you two look quite harmonious... Is this temporary cooperation, or did you never have amnesia at all?"

By the end of his words, Ryon Sukuna's voice suddenly tightened, carrying sharpness as if seeing through everything.

Just like every previous ti, Ryon Sukuna never gave up suspecting Jiang Lai's amnesia situation.

Previously, Jiang Lai would always skillfully act his way through it. But this ti, he didn't plan to act anymore.

So Jiang Lai naturally answered: "You're right, I don't have amnesia."

Ryon Sukuna: "?"

Having expected the other to start the old routine again, Ryon Sukuna was rarely stunned for half a second. He hadn't expected Jiang Lai to admit it so frankly this ti.

Gojo Satoru beside him leisurely spoke up: "Who said we were going to fight? Last ti was clearly to suppress you. Don't spread rumors carelessly, we have a great relationship~"

Jiang Lai nodded with a sincere attitude: "Right, we've always been harmonious and loving good friends. Fighting and such naturally doesn't exist."

Ryon Sukuna: "..."

The pause was only montary. Ryon Sukuna imdiately realized that everything Jiang Lai had shown him before was deceptive.

The black-haired young man consistently used that harmless exterior to deceive, and he had actually believed this guy had amnesia!!

Ryon Sukuna's expression darkened as he rose from the cow bone mountain. He stepped on the pale bones with one foot, his crimson eyes along with his opening secondary eyes appearing terrifying.

However, neither person present feared him.

Gojo Satoru looked completely carefree, but his azure eyes lifted to directly et those crimson ones. The modern strongest and the King of Curses faced off in this brief clash of gazes.

Jiang Lai maintained his usual smile, calmly stating the topic: "Setting aside those trivial matters, we do have serious business today."

"Trivial matters?" Ryon Sukuna laughed aningfully.

"Aren't those trivial matters? Would you care?" Jiang Lai's gaze was frank as he tossed it back. "Whether I have amnesia or not, you're obsessed with making into cooking ingredients. So the truth doesn't matter to you."

"It seems you rember the agreent about putting in the pot." Ryon Sukuna bared his lips, revealing sharp canines. "But I deeply detest others' deception. You've challenged my bottom line again and again."

"Aren't you also a deceiver yourself?" Jiang Lai smiled. "How many tis have you deceived Itadori Yuji?"

"That brat." Ryon Sukuna raised his eyebrows, looking completely unconcerned. "It's his own stupidity."

"Hey hey, saying that about my student in front of as his teacher isn't very nice." Gojo Satoru spoke lightly, raising one hand while maintaining a battle-ready posture.

Actually, Ryon Sukuna had also been maintaining a battle stance. These two had never truly relaxed.

The only one present not showing battle preparation was Jiang Lai himself.

Partly because Jiang Lai was familiar with Sukuna and trusted Gojo Satoru, knowing he didn't need to be constantly tense.

On the other hand, it was because he had spatial barrier protection, which was enough to shield him from a sudden attack.

"Back to the main topic." Jiang Lai coughed once, looking at Ryon Sukuna and asking directly: "Do you want to co out?"

"Hmm?" Ryon Sukuna crossed his arms over his chest, pausing briefly for half a second. "Co out?"

He sneered mockingly: "I heard the brat is going to be executed. Having co out, are you planning to accelerate the process, or create an accident to interrupt the execution? Either way, I'm not interested."

"The 'coming out' I an isn't this brief consciousness domination." Jiang Lai's expression was bright. "But you and Yuji separating, you are you, he is he."

Hearing this, Ryon Sukuna's eyes showed slight surprise, then he quickly adjusted his emotions: "How unexpected. What are you planning to do? Find a new vessel?"

"Use a [Separation] cursed tool." Jiang Lai explained directly. "This tool can separate you and Itadori Yuji without needing to find a new vessel. Because you should have been two people all along."

Ryon Sukuna rested one hand on his chin, showing so contemplation, then grinned: "Oh, I understand. You don't want to kill Itadori Yuji, so you plan to separate us and then exorcise alone? Are you that confident you can defeat ?"

The cherry-pink-haired man standing on the cow bone mountain exuded overwhelming presence as he looked down at the two people in the blood water below, savoring his words: "I'll make you regret today's decision."

"If we really wanted to exorcise you, there'd be no need for such trouble." Jiang Lai chuckled softly, his brown eyes calm. "Since I can enter your innate domain, I naturally have ways to exorcise you here. The soul's location is the most fundantal place. Why bother moving it outside to kill?"

This content was half-true, half-false.

Currently, Jiang Lai hadn't completely mastered direct soul-attacking thods, but after contact with [Birth]'s derivative, the turquoise kingfisher, he had vaguely gained so intuitive understanding.

Though the content was half-true and half-false, Jiang Lai showed no trace of guilt on his face. His bright eyes carried nothing but determination and confidence as they looked directly at those cold red eyes above.

Ryon Sukuna narrowed his eyes, making his judgnt.

At this mont, Gojo Satoru placed his middle finger on his index finger, making the hand gesture for domain expansion, his tone rising as he added: "Suddenly discovered I can apparently expand my domain here too~ If we really fight, can your soul world really withstand it?"

Two against one, and neither of these two was simple. Direct battle would be unwise.

Ryon Sukuna had always been smart. After quickly assessing the situation, he grinned and slowly spoke, steering the situation back sowhat: "You're not that strong, and I'm not as disadvantaged as you claim. If the innate domain collapses, your souls will also be impacted. It's a double-edged sword."

"However, indeed, fighting now would be aningless loss." Ryon Sukuna shrugged, his crossed arms naturally dropping. "I permit you to continue your explanation."

He maintained a superior attitude, glancing at those below: "Speak, the reason you ca here today."

"Cooperation against enemies, against the Supervisory Committee, or more precisely, against Brain-kun." Jiang Lai said. "We can give you the remaining two fingers to complete your power. At the sa ti, we'll separate you so you can independently possess a body and freedom."

"But correspondingly, you must return the fragnt in your possession, and promise not to harm characters from our faction or do anything detrintal to our faction during cooperation. We'll sign binding vows with each other, neither violating our promises."

"This cooperation will continue until the enemy's end. After that, whatever accounts we have to settle, we'll clear them between us."

"I believe before settling accounts with , you'd definitely prefer to settle accounts with the one who fooled you for so long a thousand years ago. Now is that opportunity."

Jiang Lai raised his eyelids, looking toward Ryon Sukuna at the top of the cow bone mountain, his voice calm like a gentle breeze across water.

"Choose to take the key, open the gate, and walk out of the cage. Or choose to stay here, continuing your thousand-year-unchanged daydreaming until the end."

"At this mont, the choice is yours."
