Putting aside the question of the number of talismans, Lu Yibei asked the copper coin several questions in succession.
"Can I trap and kill the urban legend on campus by preparing in advance?"
"Can I get something good from the new card pool of love and magical girls with ten consecutive draws?"
"Am I male or female? This question is simple enough, right?"
After continuously changing three questions and all resulting in the 'reverse' side, Lu Yibei finally confirmed one thing: Professor Ma's protective copper coin likely only had the 'reverse' side as an option.
He gave up trying, leaned back in the bus seat, examined the copper coin in his hand, and secretly thought that this copper coin might truly have spirituality, otherwise it wouldn't always land on the 'reverse' side.
However, it didn't seem to help people make judgments as Professor Ma said, but this effect wasn't completely useless. If used appropriately at certain times, it should produce miraculous results.
For example, when Professor Ma was at home, he could toss the copper coin to decide who between the couple would do the housework? Thinking this, Lu Yibei chuckled inwardly and quietly put the copper coin away. freewёbnoνel.com
After putting away the copper coin, Lu Yibei casually took out his phone, opened the Monster Story Chat Group, and prepared to try his luck to see if he could obtain any useful information.
After opening the Monster Story Chat Group and browsing for a while, he slightly furrowed his brow.
He was surprised to find that in the past day or two, someone with the ID "Incredible Witch" had been very active in the Monster Story Chat Group.
Just in the few minutes since he entered the chat group, Incredible Witch was still arguing with others about whether the "Three Immortals" were crabs, snakes, and toads, or Fox, snakes, and weasels.
Of course, if it were just this, Lu Yibei wouldn't find it strange. In the Monster Story Chat Group, similar arguments were happening almost every moment, as different urban legend often had some inaccuracies in rumors from different regions.
What truly surprised him was that judging from Incredible Witch's profile and the memories of Pharaoh, Liang Yue, and others, the account holder should be Du Sixian.
Lu Yibei thought for a moment and quickly understood the reason.
"Du Sixian is now a formal member of the Night Watch. Jiang Li should have investigated Shihekou Middle School before. In this situation, it makes sense for Du Sixian to reveal what she knows and infiltrate the Monster Story Chat Group to investigate."
After figuring this out, Lu Yibei also felt a faint worry.
"I just don't know if that guy will intentionally or unintentionally reveal my information. If the Night Watch finds me based on the clues, things will become very troublesome."
"However, based on the current situation, I should still be safe for now."
Lu Yibei watched the Monster Story Chat Group for a while longer. The topic of argument between "Incredible Witch" and others gradually shifted from "Three Immortals" to which blood type zombies preferred. He curled his lip and, seeing the bus entering the University City area, put away his phone.
...
Peony Street, inside the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, in the office decorated like a medical room.
Du Sixian sat in front of the computer, her hands flying across the keyboard. As an internet addict and an unknown UP, arguing with netizens was almost her daily routine in the past.
So, when she reported joining the Monster Story Chat Group and Jiang Li assigned her the task of constantly arguing with group members, she felt like she had come home. She loved it!
Jiang Li's arrangement was simple: since the limited chat content didn't provide useful information, find a way to make them talk more.
The more they talk, the more mistakes they make. If the situation Lu Yibei reported wasn't an isolated incident in this Monster Story Chat Group, clues would eventually surface.
Du Sixian argued with group members in the chat for a while, then suddenly seemed to discover something and turned to look at An Qing, who was secretly studying the precious blood bags in the freezer.
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing, this person says that zombies don't have a most preferred blood type, they just purely like blood, and the reason he explains is very reasonable. I think he might be..."
An Qing glanced at the chat record Du Sixian was pointing to and gently shook her head. "Although he says it convincingly, it's not true..."
In that chat record, the content was thorough and the reasoning was clear. Du Sixian, an entry-level keyboard warrior, was completely suppressed and couldn't retort.
However, the various habits of zombies he described were completely different from what An Qing knew. Either he was wrong, or An Qing was wrong.
How could anyone in this world know more about zombies than An Qing, who possesses the Spiritual Energy of 【Aberrant Species · Zombie Bride of the Ghost King】?
Moreover, how could there not be a particularly preferred blood type? I really like type AB. An Qing muttered inwardly and added, "What he says looks very convincing, probably because he's very good at making things up! There are actually quite a few people like that online."
Some people even make up stories that are so convincing they cause the Night Watch to frantically investigate, only to find nothing, just like someone reporting a false alarm!
"But Sister Qing, what this person says looks so convincing, do we really not need to investigate him a little? Didn't Sister Jiang Li say before that there's a group of guys called 【Storytellers】 who specifically spread urban legend stories in order to create urban legend?" Du Sixian asked curiously.
Hearing this, An Qing gave Du Sixian a wry smile, patted her shoulder, and said, "Real Storytellers aren't like that. This is more complicated to explain. You'll understand when you meet one in the future."
"However, if you're really worried, you can report this person's situation to Jiang Li. I think she'll definitely be willing to investigate a little."
"Okay, no problem!" Du Sixian replied, then turned back to the chat box and typed 【You wait, I'll follow the internet cable over sooner or later and smash your dog head!】 and pressed Enter.
Thinking of the B Level Spiritual Energy item in the Hua City warehouse that could truly investigate by following the internet cable, An Qing's mouth twitched.
"Alright, stop being so overly sensitive like Jiang Li all the time. You're such a nice Miss, don't make yourself so paranoid. Let's stop the Monster Story Chat Group investigation work for today, okay? Let's go to the training ground. I'll teach you something new today."
"Something new? Is it a new Spell?" Du Sixian asked curiously.
"No." An Qing shook her head and said, "If a waste wants to become a qualified operative, just knowing Spells isn't enough. Besides Spells, you must master at least one of Alchemy or Body Technique."
"In fact, in actual combat, many urban legend won't give you enough time to cast Spells. You must find a way to use Alchemy items or excellent Body Technique to create enough time for yourself to cast Spells."
"Given that I don't understand Alchemy very well, I can only teach you Body Technique for now. If you want to learn Alchemy, I can also arrange for other operatives."
"No, no!" Du Sixian waved her hands and said, "I just want to learn Body Technique!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
During combat, throwing Alchemy potions and talismans one by one is so boring! It's much more exciting to fight urban legend hand-to-hand! Du Sixian thought excitedly.
...
Throwing talismans one by one is indeed lacking in style and accuracy, but if they could be fired like a submachine gun, that would be great!
With this thought, after getting off the bus near University City, Lu Yibei didn't go straight back to his apartment to start making talismans. Instead, he turned and went to a department store located in a corner of University City and found a large merchandise store inside the mall.
He had seen merchandise toys here before that were replicas of the Phantom Thief Kid's Poker Pistol.
In the recipe from Liang Yue's memory, there was no requirement for the thickness of the First Light Spring Wind Curse.
Lu Yibei figured that as long as the talismans were made as thin as possible, they could be fired with a Poker Pistol. This was one of the preparations he made to deal with the urban legend in the school.
I can't throw accurately, but can't I shoot accurately? How can a man say he can't shoot accurately!
When I become successful in the future and have funds to make other talismans, I can also replace the ammunition according to the situation and adapt on the fly. It sounds great just thinking about it!
Thinking this, Lu Yibei placed the selected merchandise toys on the cashier counter. "Excuse me, I'd like this, please wrap it up for me!"
"Thank you for your patronage. One Phantom Thief Kid Poker Pistol, one Hundred Flower Maiden Thousand Year Orchid figure, one Hundred Flower Maiden Wedding Limited figure, two Hundred Flower Maiden Maid pillows... A total of two thousand seven hundred thirty-two yuan."
Lu Yibei, "..." Damn! Why is this Poker Pistol so expensive?
...
Like all merchandise products that come with an emotional tax, the price of the Poker Pistol was also artificially high. Lu Yibei, who bought the pistol at a high price, felt a faint pain in his heart and didn't even dare to take a taxi back.
Anyway, it's only two or three kilometers, I'll just walk back!
Upon returning home, he ignored Ju Meng, who was sitting in front of the TV seriously watching the show "Mom's Gourmet Kitchen," and went straight upstairs. He rummaged through the wardrobe and found the Strange Tale-transformed jacket.
He clearly remembered that he had one Strange Tale core left from his last trip to Shihekou Middle School, and it was stored in this jacket.
After finding the jacket, Lu Yibei spent a few minutes turning all the pockets inside out, and then his expression gradually sank.
It's gone? My big Strange Tale core, how could it be gone?!
Did I put it somewhere else and forget? Lu Yibei thought. Just then, a burst of cheerful laughter came from downstairs.
"Hahaha—*hiccup*—! So funny, who cooks like that!?"
Lu Yibei narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and said in a deep voice, "Ju Meng! Did you steal my Strange Tale core!"
"No! Don't accuse me..."
"Wait! Ah, you heartless wretch! You actually hid a Strange Tale core behind my back!? See how I'll deal with you!"
Hearing [N O V E L I G H T] the urgent footsteps coming from the stairs, Lu Yibei, "..." Why do I feel like she's the thief crying stop thief?
