Soul Master Manual

Chapter 78 The Withered Feather

In the conference room of the Tranquility Society, a member of the pale picture scroll entered randomly, which was somewhat eye-catching.

Shen Xiaomo followed closely behind Li Changan, tugged at the hem of his clothes, lowered his head, avoiding Bai Zhu's sight.

But Bai Zhu just looked like he wanted to have a good relationship with her.

no way.

Who told them that there were only three women in the quiet meeting, Bai Zhu, Ran Jianyu and Gu Po Po.

But Granny Gu is old and has a weird temper, so Bai Zhu doesn't dare to get in touch with her too much.

And Ran Jianyu, as the vice-captain, has to take care of a group of people, so she is usually more serious, and Bai Zhu can't get too close to her.

Finally, Shen Xiaomo, who is about the same age as her, came, so Bai Zhu, who is a "social cow", had no choice but to have a good relationship with her.

It's a pity that Bai Zhu is a social bull, but Shen Xiaomo is an out-and-out social fear.

This is not.

The timid Shen Xiaomo was already frightened by the enthusiastic Bai Zhu.

"cough."

Ran Jianyu coughed lightly, and Bai Zhu's eager eyes were slightly restrained.

"Old Cao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Cao Xinsheng held a thermos with a calm expression on his face.

Seeing that he was recovering well, Ran Jianyu didn't say anything more.

After all, the difficulty of this task is hard to say for the time being, and Lao Cao's strength is still very important.

Then Ran Jianyu looked at Li Changan.

"Chang'an, please introduce the situation to everyone."

Li Changan nodded.

"The target of the mission is a cult organization suspected of enshrining the 'God of Blood'. It possesses special ritual abilities. At the same time, the possibility of possessing powerful spirit beasts cannot be ruled out."

"According to the information provided by Pai Pai Escroll, the base of the organization when it was first discovered was Heba Town in Heluo County, but after the base was wiped out, it is not known whether there are any remnants. If there are remnants, we need to Arrests are made, and killings are allowed under special circumstances."

Everyone looked at him silently, keeping some key information in their hearts.

Then Li Chang'an passed on some basic information copied from the pale picture scroll to everyone.

"Tell me something that's not in it." Ran Jianyu said.

Li Changan's expression gradually became serious.

Sensing his seriousness, everyone temporarily put down the documents in their hands.

"According to the information I have obtained, this cult organization is very likely to be related to a secret organization advocating 'blood' that was active at the end of the third era. It may be a remnant, or it may have obtained part of the inheritance, or even..."

There was a pause.

"Even that organization has survived secretly until now."

End of the third era? !

Everyone's heart trembled slightly.

If it is really an organization handed down from that period, it has a foundation and inheritance of thousands of years.

Li Changan's words made everyone aware of the importance of this mission and the dangers that might lurk in it.

"However, the probability of this should be relatively small, otherwise it would be impossible for the pale picture scroll to wipe out that group of people so easily before." Li Changan comforted again.

Because it is a secret organization, the information involved in the book is too little about the specific situation.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to tell the information he had read on some ancient books in the library.

"But no matter what, the other party must have a certain 'blood ritual'. Whether it affects itself or the spirit beast, it will to a certain extent cause an exaggerated increase in its strength."

Ran Jianyu stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly.

"So, what I mean is, let's try to approach as passengers first, and investigate useful information while trying not to startle the enemy."

After speaking, look around everyone.

No objection was raised.

It is safer to do so.

Moreover, if the identity can be well hidden, it is easier to obtain some useful information.

"Because of the unknown and strange power involved, I submitted the mission report and the application for the 'Apparatus of Limitation' to the headquarters yesterday."

Applied for a limiter?

"I borrowed the first-order limiter 'Withered Feather' from the headquarters. We will set off after the things arrive. In the past two days, you should prepare yourself and prepare all the things you need."

Withered feathers?
What ability do you have?
And what kind of side effects?

Quiet meeting.

Standing in front of the mirror, Li Changan looked at his black and shiny fluffy hair, and lightly brushed it.

Slightly relieved.

Fortunately, he has used the "Sunflower" brooch three times so far, so the problem is not too big.

Although the "Sunflower" brooch is quite powerful, he doesn't want to be "I'm stronger because I'm bald".

"Meow!"

Suddenly.

Just as he was looking in the mirror, there was an exclamation behind him.

I see.

Xiao Huan, who was sleeping quietly on the quilt, suddenly jumped up, his eyes were filled with horror, his chest heaved violently, and he looked like he was still in shock.

"What's wrong?" Li Changan asked in surprise, "Have you had a nightmare again?"

"Meow, meow."

Xiao Huan stood there in a daze, blinking his eyes, until he was hugged by Li Changan, and then slowly recovered.

Smelling the familiar smell, its fur that exploded gradually calmed down, and it rattled Li Changan's chest.

"Okay, okay." Li Changan said hurriedly with a smile.

Go any further, and all the cat hair will stick to the clothes.

"what happened?"

Xiao Huan stumbled and whimpered twice.

Had a nightmare.

"Nightmare?"

Then Xiaohuan intermittently told what it dreamed just now from the beginning to the end.

In fact, the content is not much, but it dreamed of billowing blood, corpses hung up like objects, including human beings and spirit beasts.

It's just that the hanging posture is very strange. Both humans and spirit beasts have their legs bound, but they are not hung from the ceiling, but from the ground.

The most important thing is that these corpses seemed to be under some unknown force, which violated the law of free falling objects, and instead wanted to float upwards.

After listening, Li Changan frowned slightly.

This dream is indeed very strange.

When does an object escape gravity's grip?
However, in this world, Brother Niu's coffin plank doesn't work in the first place, and Brother Niu's tricks are not very bright in a world full of mysterious power.

What's more, it was originally a dream of a powerful and unconstrained style.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changan seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xiao Huan again.

(Shadow Divergence): 17
really.

The efficiency value of the "Shadow Expansion" skill has increased again.

"Is it another dream with a meaning?" Li Changan murmured.

The last time Xiaohuan had a dream to increase the efficiency of the "Shadow Evolution" skill, there was an accident on the night when the red moon alternated.

So this time. Does it also mean that the mission will be very dangerous?

Moreover, Xiao Huan's "prophetic dream" this time is more detailed than the last one.

Is it because the strength is stronger and the proficiency of "Ying Yan" is higher?
Or, because the risk factor is lower than when the red moon alternates, so can you dream more?

Li Changan was not a professional dream interpreter, so he could only make some superficial guesses based on the dreams, and could not decipher the symbolic meaning.

"Meow~~"

Amidst the thoughts, Xiao Huan's intimate cry again brought him back to his senses.

Look down.

I saw the little guy who was trembling because of the nightmare just a second ago, and now he is gently rubbing his stomach.

Noticing Li Changan's gaze, he grinned and raised the corners of his mouth, smiling sarcastically.

hungry.

Li Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped its head hard.

"Wash up first."

"Meow-"

And just as they were having breakfast, Teng Hongrui came to the door.

"Chang'an, 'Withered Feather' has arrived. The fish team said to get ready and set off."

Hearing this, Li Changan's deep eyes flickered slightly.

Are you there yet?
While waiting for the "Withered Feather" to arrive in Yangcheng, Li Changan also figured out the function and side effects of this first-order "Apparatus of Limitation".

Withered Feather, also known as the "Consul's Quill".

It is said that it was a pen used by a powerful consul once, and signed many bills and laws. It is a powerful spirit beast tool with the attribute of "order".

The function is to make the carried spirit beast have a more powerful "order" ability.

Rules can be made that are more restrictive, and at the same time make the scope of action larger.

If the spirit beast it carries is strong enough, even the rules it makes can last for a long time even after leaving.

Apparently, Ran Jianyu wanted to use this "withered feather" to enable her ferocious rock wolf to formulate rules with sufficient binding force to limit the power of blood within a certain range.

It is equivalent to giving one or more enemies that may appear, a layer of negative effects with strong restrictive capabilities.

And the side effect of this "withered feather" is also very simple.

It will cause the spirit beast that has been carried for a certain period of time to be slowly affected by the once powerful consul, and gradually become a soldier who has no self-consciousness and can only obey orders.

However, when this limiter is sent from the headquarters, its surface will be wrapped with a special one-time seal.

But after using it, you need to find a way to deal with this side effect.

It was what made Li Changan more curious.

It's just a quill that has been used. Even if the consul is a powerful spirit master, why does it have such a strong effect?

If just being touched by it can become a "device of restriction", then that consul will be very powerful, won't he be able to produce a "device of restriction"?

In the crisp morning light, a van driving "Hang Chi Han Chi" on the narrow road covered with gravel.

In a smooth drive, the well-prepared Jing Mi members arrived at Heba Town, Heluo County, Yangcheng.

This small town is located at the extreme edge of the northwest corner of Yangcheng, almost at the junction of Yangcheng and Molong City.

Molong City is an ancient city with a long history in the Donghong Kingdom. It is said that before the birth of the Donghong Kingdom, its predecessor, the imperial capital of the ancient dynasty, was located in Molong City.

There are many ancient buildings in the city.

And Heba Village, which borders it, has also been affected to a certain extent. Most of the buildings in the village reveal a historical atmosphere, and it can be regarded as a famous tourist place in Yangcheng.

Park the van at the entrance of the hotel that Baizhu booked in advance.

People dressed as passengers, carrying backpacks or carrying luggage, got out of the car one by one.

"Put things away, and then investigate in groups of two."

Ran Jianyu began to arrange tasks.

She glanced at Shen Xiaomo who was silently following behind Li Changan, and ordered:
"Old He, Fatty, go to the streets and some scenic spots."

The two nodded in agreement.

Heba Town has a lot of historical sites, and we should pay attention to these.

"Old Cao, follow me around the town."

If there are really remnants of the cult, they are more likely to hide in some remote mountains and old forests.

Of course, because there are too many spirit beasts in the wild, the danger is relatively high, so it is estimated that they will not hide too deeply.

Finally Ran Jianyu looked at Li Changan and Shen Xiaomo, pursed his lips and said:

"Chang'an, go to the base of the cult organization that was wiped out before, and see if you can find anything."

From the corner of Li Changan's eyes, he glanced at the timid Shen Xiaomo behind him, twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded.

As long as there is a person with a little brain, he will not appear in the original base again.

They are the safest group.

but.

There were only the two of them present, and they might be able to find something in that base.

"Okay." Li Changan replied.

Ran Jianyu's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly:
"Finally, no matter what you encounter or discover, don't act without authorization!"
