Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: No Matter How High Your Kung Fu Is, You Still Fear the Kitchen Knife
Nie Ying suddenly turned her head and stared straight at Zhao’er, then after a moment, fiercely grabbed Zhao’er’s jade arm with both hands: "Zhao’er, take me as your apprentice!"
Zhao’er smiled, a charming and beautiful one: "I don’t take apprentices."
"Is it because you think I’m not sincere enough, or that my gift money isn’t enough?"
Nie Ying yanked Yang Kai’s ear over and casually wedged his head into her armpit.
"I’ll mortgage Yang Kai to you, you can let him do anything, sweeping, cleaning the toilet, night watch, if you look at him and get angry, as long as you don’t beat him to death, keeping his main branch for family continuation, the rest is up to you!"
Zhang Shan and Li Shi were both about to laugh themselves into a fit on the side, covering their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.
"Alright already, I’ll teach you."
Actually, amongst all the people here, the only ones who really interacted with Zhao’er after her soul was restored were you and those at home, Yang Kai, Xiao Feng, these friends were genuinely in contact with the real Zhao’er for the very first time.
Seeing Zhao’er nod her head, Nie Ying immediately let go of Yang Kai and then flung herself at Zhao’er, giggling and saying: "Hehe, indeed a good sister, don’t worry, I’ve got your back from now on, those flies and mosquitoes in Yu City definitely won’t come within ten meters of you."
You patted Yang Kai’s shoulder and said with deep significance: "Brother, the journey is long and arduous."
Yang Kai shrugged: "I’m used to it already."
"Hm?"
Nie Ying turned her head, and her voice immediately rose in pitch.
"That, that thing, hitting is intimacy, scolding is love, extreme love leads to kicks, this is the essence of love, isn’t it?" Yang Kai quickly shifted the blame and said to you, "Old Shu, did you think of something?"
You and Zhao’er have a heart-to-heart connection, so when Zhao’er saw you drinking soup, she spoke on your behalf: "That app must be related to people’s desires."
"Desires?" Once Zhao’er mentioned serious matters, the rest of the people all paid attention.
"Every girl loves beauty, even those with natural charm are no exception. However, everyone’s life experience is different, and those with richer experiences have a strong immunity to the temptations of life, which cannot be seen from the surface."
Zhao’er added a piece of red braised meat to your bowl and continued: "Most people who can get into the supernatural detective society share a common pursuit, which is exploring the meaning of life, so our members don’t care much about appearance and care more about what’s inside."
Hearing Zhao’er say this, Zhang Shan and Li Shi nodded incessantly, obviously agreeing very much with her statement.
"So, if this app is given to someone who feels inferior about their appearance and has a very strong desire to become beautiful, it will definitely work."
At this time, you finished your bowl of rice cleanly and drank an extra half a bowl of soup before turning to Yang Kai and saying: "What Zhao’er said is correct, this app is the key to the case, and our primary task is to investigate how it operates."
You paused, looked at Zhang Shan and Li Shi, and said to them: "No matter which world it is, everything in the world must follow order, nothing can appear out of thin air, nor can it disappear without a trace, as long as we find the source, everything else can be handled."
Seeing the three nod, Zhao’er smiled and said, "You guys should eat first, you need to be full to have the energy to work."
"Mhmm!"
Zhang Shan and Li Shi continued to shovel white rice into their mouths.
After dinner, Zhao’er and Nie Ying chatted about women’s topics in the room, while you left home with Yang Kai and the others to look for a target to experiment on.
Walking on the bustling streets, watching all kinds of people, you couldn’t help but sigh: "Speaking of which, as long as there are people in this world, the thing called desire will never disappear, so our group of people will always have value."
Yang Kai shrugged: "I’m not as strong as Madman, and with so many things happening recently, I can’t spend time to cultivate diligently like Glasses and Little Pen, I really worry that the gap between him and me will grow larger and larger."
Wrapping an arm around Yang Kai’s shoulder, you said with a chuckle, "Come on, Kai Zi, look into my eyes."
"Gan, I’m not into that kind of thing!"
Although he said that, Yang Kai still met your gaze squarely.
At this moment, Yang Kai noticed your eyes had changed, with your originally black pupils now emitting a faint blue glow.
Yang Kai was startled and blurted out, "Hey, is this... Y Yang Eye?"
Seeing that there were only four of us around, you explained to Yang Kai, "I have sealed both the Sen Luo Eye and the Seal of Truesky, so now I can only activate the Y Yang Eye. Do you know why I did this?"
Yang Kai shook his head.
"Because each type of Pupil Skill, when mastered to the extreme, possesses tremendously terrifying power, and each power is irreplaceable. There are Six Levels of Pupil Skills, but it doesn’t mean the higher the Level, the stronger it is. The key lies in the person, in your understanding and application of the Pupil Skill," you patted Yang Kai’s shoulder and continued, "There’s a lot happening in Yu City, which is good for you. Just keep using your Ghost Eye, start by controlling it in the simplest and most direct way. Once your control reaches a certain point, you’ll be able to create the most practical moves yourself." freewebnoveℓ.com
Yang Kai nodded, "Makes sense. In this day and age, even a brick can counter Martial Arts, and no matter how skilled you are, you still fear a kitchen knife. The most practical and powerful things are often the simplest and most direct."
"Smart!"
You and Yang Kai high-fived, smiling at each other, while the other two quickly jotted down your conversation.
At the same time, your gaze landed on a man dragging his weary body and carrying a briefcase, strolling leisurely along the street.
"What’s up?" Yang Kai asked.
"Didn’t you guys just mention that among the deceased there were middle-aged men?"
"Yes, that’s correct." Zhang Shan nodded eagerly.
Then let’s follow this uncle first.
You looked ahead at the middle-aged man hunched over, moving like a Walking Corpse.
Seeing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, "This is a classic case of a man caught in a midlife crisis. I bet the last thing he wants right now is to go home."
"A guy like this, radiating negative energy all over, is the favorite food of certain entities. My gut tells me that if we follow him, it seems we can find the clues we need."
With that said, you took out four yellow talisman papers from your pocket.
Biting your index finger, you drew the same talisman on each with your blood.
Then you handed the talisman papers to the three people around you, "Place the talisman paper between your underwear and skin; it can make certain things unable to sense our presence."
The two nodded hurriedly, while Yang Kai took a careful look at the talisman before sliding it inside his shirt collar next to his skin.
"By the way, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you use the yellow talisman paper. With your current true power, you could even use the black talisman, right?"
You nodded, "I can use it, but that thing is something no one would touch unless it’s a matter of life and death."
"True."
Yang Kai smiled, but as he was about to lift his head, he suddenly exclaimed, "Situation alert!"
