I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm

Little Sheep Jiang Lai's relationship with Zenin Naoya wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad either.

After all, they were bound game teammates who mostly needed to cooperate for mutual benefit.

Although Little Sheep Jiang Lai would use the verbal tic "meh" online to harass (not really) Zenin Naoya, since Little Sheep's gaming skills were quite good, Zenin Naoya initially tolerated it.

Later, the wealthy Young Master of the Zenin family simply paid to have Little Sheep remove the verbal tic and even made further demands for answering any questions in-game.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai naturally agreed readily, then downloaded an AI from the internet to automatically answer Zenin Naoya's various questions, perfectly achieving the removal of verbal tics plus answering any questions.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai: Good, even more convenient than deliberately harassing before!

However, this paid customization only lasted less than a week.

Because Zenin Naoya seemed to realize that Little Sheep Jiang Lai had found an AI to answer him. This expensive paid service was completely treating him like a sucker.

As the legitimate son of the Zenin family, Zenin Naoya naturally wasn't short of money, but he wouldn't throw money away for no reason either.

Furious Colorful Cloud Pig went crazy with toxic comments toward Little Sheep Jiang Lai in the game, with various cold, sarcastic words emerging endlessly. Any screenshot would be blood pressure-raising sentences.

However, the other party wasn't even online to look, purely running auto-replies. Zenin Naoya got spammed again by Little Sheep Jiang Lai's auto-reply "meh."

The completely uncaring attitude of Little Sheep Jiang Lai on the other side nearly made Zenin Naoya faint from anger.

So the Young Master of the Zenin family decided not to go online for several days, preventing the other teammate from continuing cooperative dungeon exploration, letting that [Little Sheep Never Loses Meh] know the importance of appeasing teammates.

After several days, he went online only to find that Little Sheep Jiang Lai had happily played individual activities these days, barely opening any cooperative dungeons and suffering almost no losses.

Instead, he himself had missed several days of activity rewards by not going online.

Zenin Naoya: "..."

Zenin Naoya: ...What kind of broken game is this? Not playing anymore!!

He gritted his teeth and uninstalled [Me and Elves and New Routes], his upturned fox eyes gleaming.

After a few hours, Zenin Naoya couldn't help but pick up his phone again, feeling this attitude seemed like avoiding and admitting defeat. Why should he quit the game first? What right did he have to quit first?

Moreover, if one teammate quits or deletes their account, or doesn't log in for a month, the other teammate can inherit the "legacy."

Zenin Naoya said this wouldn't do. He absolutely couldn't let that money-grubbing sheep benefit.

Actually just having gaming withdrawal but still needing excuses, Zenin Naoya finally downloaded the game back with righteous justification, reopening [Me and Elves and New Routes].

The closed Zenin family was almost completely isolated from the outside world. Zenin Naoya had grown up to his twenties trapped in this small world, barely interacting with outsiders or the external world, being a completely indulged Young Master at home.

So his personality was toxic, precious, and arrogant, yet more childish than his peers.

The feudal great family had very few entertainment activities, most of which became uninteresting due to rule-bound constraints.

This internet-capable phone was Zenin Naoya's rare entertainment device. He wouldn't easily give up this favorite game.

However, Zenin Naoya was still somewhat reserved and hesitant about whether to acknowledge that [Little Sheep Never Loses Meh].

How about ignoring them for a few more days? he thought. Since he'd already missed several days of activity rewards anyway, a bit more didn't matter. As for the other party... he didn't believe they could resist not playing cooperative dungeons for so many days!

His plan was very thorough in his mind when Zenin Naoya's chat box popped up with a message:

[#Little Sheep Never Loses Meh#: See you're online, next cooperative dungeon, coming meh?]

Zenin Naoya reflexively replied: [Coming!]

Only after sending the message did he realize his original plan to ignore them for several more days had been broken by his habitual team confirmation.

Zenin Naoya: "..."

Staring at the [Loading...] that appeared on screen, Zenin Naoya knew he couldn't back out now. Once a cooperative dungeon started, it had to be completed or experience points would be deducted.

Zenin Naoya couldn't help but think of memes:

(When you find the other person annoying, but they're really good at the game.jpg)

Today's Young Master of the Zenin family also decided to magnanimously not hold grudges against that money-grubbing sheep temporarily. In any case, finishing this game round was more important!

Jiang Lai on the other side didn't know about Zenin Naoya's internal emotional fluctuations. He simply enjoyed annoying Zenin Naoya a bit, teasing Colorful Cloud Pig, then stopping at just the right edge before seriously demonstrating his gaming skills.

If he knew about Zenin Naoya's conflicted behavior of uninstalling then reinstalling, wanting to ignore but reflexively teaming up, he would probably be stunned momentarily before realizing what term should describe this situation:

Internet addict youth, that's exactly you, Colorful Cloud Pig!

However, while Jiang Lai wasn't very clear about the other party's internet addiction level, he could sense Naoya's gaming obsession.

Through their online interactions during this time, Jiang Lai noticed that Naoya from the closed Zenin family background in the new series was more manageable than in the original story.

He had fewer schemes, a more arrogant and conceited personality, but less wariness and caution.

In summary, he was more pig-like.

At this moment, hearing the three-person group of Fushiguro, Itadori, and Kugisaki mention the Zenin family, Little Sheep Jiang Lai immediately thought of Zenin Naoya in the game and revealed their acquaintance.

He had mentioned this to Itadori Yuji and Nanami Kento before, and now repeated to Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara how he initially located his teammate to the Zenin family and deduced from details that the other party was Zenin Naoya.

"He blocked me for two days," Little Sheep Jiang Lai took out his phone to check, "but it's fine. I'm sure he'll contact me again tomorrow. After all, his gaming addiction is quite severe. He usually can't hold out for three days."

"Huh, blocked?" Itadori Yuji blurted out instinctively.

"Yeah, probably because of a hand-drawn picture I sent him two days ago."

Little Sheep Jiang Lai blinked his dark eyes, smiling brightly, drawing out his tone, "I drew a fat, angry-looking fat fox pig and told him this was my cloud impression of him. Then he blocked me."

"But I think I drew it quite cutely. It's rare for me to draw impression portraits for others without charging! The other party profited while I lost out."

Little Sheep Jiang Lai shook his head with genuine regret, "Free-loading with so many complaints, what an annoying brat. Next time I'm definitely charging."

"Speaking of which, I set a goal to swindle 1.8 billion from the Zenin family Young Master. That cursed tool that sounds so impressive should be worth that price, right? Otherwise, let's think long-term. Since we're going anyway, let's grab more stuff from the Zenin family."

Little Sheep Jiang Lai spoke smoothly, even pulling out a calculator from somewhere and starting to tap away.

"Let me think... to gather 1.8 billion, how many things would I need to grab..."

The three-person group of Fushiguro, Itadori, and Kugisaki wanted to speak but held back, held back but wanted to speak again. They fell silent for two or three seconds, not knowing what to respond for a moment.

The first to break the silence was Fushiguro Megumi, who coughed and brought the topic back on track:

"In any case, although you have contact channels there, I think we still need to coordinate a plan for how to successfully obtain that cursed tool."

"Ah, exactly." Kugisaki Nobara nodded in agreement, "After all, that's one of the Big Three Families, and the current Zenin family gives me a rotten, decaying feeling like mud. I'd rather have as little contact as possible. A great family from a thousand years ago ending up like this, I don't know what they're thinking."

Mentioning a thousand years ago, Fushiguro Megumi paused again, as if remembering something else, and said:

"Besides the Zenin family matters, there's another thing in my clearer memories that makes the current me feel... worth investigating."

He looked at Kugisaki Nobara: "Do you remember some events called [Divine Blessings] from a thousand years ago?"

Kugisaki Nobara, who also had memories from a thousand years ago and was gradually recovering them, frowned and thought for several seconds, then nodded:

"You mean those anonymous, invisible acts of punishing evil and promoting good? Because they were so miraculous and secretive, people considered them heaven-sent blessings. I remember fresh iris flowers would be left at the scenes."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai's thoughts paused slightly. He still remembered the story from a thousand years ago that he saw in the manga, shortly after his slumber.

The anonymous iris flowers promoting good and punishing evil should have been the predecessor of the modern Supervisory Committee.

However, unlike the current Supervisory Committee, the iris organization back then was completely hidden in the shadows and genuinely did good deeds. The organization was probably still under [Birth]'s control then.

As his thoughts flowed, Jiang Lai's expression didn't reveal anything as he continued listening to their conversation.

Catching the keyword, Itadori Yuji tilted his head and said very perceptively: "Iris flowers? Mentioning that makes me think of the Supervisory Committee. They also use iris flower logos."

"Right." Fushiguro Megumi crossed his hands together, pursing his lips, "But the current Supervisory Committee feels different from those so-called divine blessings from a thousand years ago."

"Now that you mention it, something does seem off." Kugisaki Nobara crossed her arms over her chest, "The current one is way too high-profile, like they're deliberately spreading their symbols everywhere. Besides that, they seem very interested in jujutsu world affairs."

The few of them looked at each other, all seeing something unusual in each other's eyes.

Details they hadn't noticed before now seemed full of suspicious points when recalled and combined with memory clues from a thousand years ago.

Jiang Lai understood in his heart that the three-person group of Fushiguro, Itadori, and Kugisaki had caught a glimpse of the shadow's tail and were beginning to sense the real enemy.

He held his phone, thought for a few seconds, then sent a message to Gojo Satoru overseas.

[Your cute students seem to have very perceptively sensed problems with the Supervisory Committee. They appear to be planning further investigation.]

Not knowing what time it was for overseas Gojo Satoru, he replied to Jiang Lai immediately.

[Really? Hmph hmph, worthy of being the spicy teacher's students! Super perceptively sensing those annoying guys.]

The corner of Jiang Lai's mouth slightly curved upward as he typed: [You're not worried about them at all?]

[Worrying wouldn't help anyway. I've been super busy overseas lately, completely can't rush back (fake crying.jpg)

So I choose to trust my super great students! They're all very promising good kids.

Besides that, don't they have you by their side? That's enough (smile.jpg)
