My Endless Life.

Chapter 372: Magic and Immortal Arts

Wearing a hospital gown for the dead, Ye Yue walked out of the morgue.

She had no memory of her current body in her mind, and had no idea where she was or what kind of world she was in.

But it doesn’t matter. Ye Yue is one of the older undead. She has traveled through time six times so far. And because she practiced spiritual skills in her first life, her memories are awakened very early in each life.

So she has rich experience, and Ye Yue has experienced a similar technological world more than once.

With her experience in the technological world, Ye Yue quickly determined that this was a hospital and was in the hospital morgue.

It was very likely that her family was still in her current body, but this was not a good thing, but rather a troublesome thing.

If Ye Yue's current body was alive, she might still pretend to have amnesia and get along with her family.

But her body is dead now. If she is found by her family in this state, Ye Yue can guess what the consequences will be.

So she must leave here immediately, the farther the better!
Ye Yue quickly made a plan and decided to leave the morgue and the hospital immediately while it was night and the staff on duty were resting.

However, before Ye Yue could take any action, a glowing, magical hexagram magic circle appeared under her feet.

"!?"

Seeing the magic circle appear, Ye Yue's eyes widened:

"Magic circle?! How is that possible!?"

Ye Yue has experienced a lot, seen a lot, and naturally knows a lot. She knows very well that in a world dominated by technology, magic is almost impossible to exist!
It is impossible for a world dominated by magic to develop technology!

Unless some unexpected incident occurred in the meantime.

But now, she clearly confirmed that this was indeed a world dominated by technology, so what was going on with this magic circle under her feet?

Ye Yue was confused, but she had no time to think.

Because the light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter, until it reached its maximum, the light suddenly disappeared, and the entire morgue fell into darkness.

And along with the light, Ye Yue herself also disappeared.

When Ye Yue opened her eyes again, she found herself in a 'mysterious' and strange room.

The reason why this room is mysterious is that it is very dark, the curtains are drawn, the lights are off, and the overall tone is purple. Various star maps and magic circle diagrams are hung around it, as well as some pictures of witches.

As for the strangeness, it was because apart from these, Ye Yue could not feel any mysterious atmosphere at all. Even the magic circle that summoned her here was essentially a pseudo-magic circle connected by special LED lights.

Only the girl standing in front of Ye Yue, wearing a wizard hat and robe, looked a little like a witch.

If only her expression wasn't so dull.

"..."

Seeing Ye Yue appear in front of her, the girl dressed as a witch was also stunned.

She looked at the purple-covered magic book in her hand, then looked up at Ye Yue. Her expression changed from surprise to joy and finally to ecstasy.

Then he raised his head and laughed so loudly that Ye Yue felt embarrassed:

“Ahahahaha!! I have practiced magic for more than ten years, and now I have finally learned something! Hehe, corpse ghost from the demon world! From now on, I will be your master! The Lord of Eternal Night who will rule the world from now on! Ahahahaha!!”

Ye Yue: “…”

Although she didn't quite understand what the other person was saying, seeing that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had a mysterious style, Ye Yue vaguely understood that the girl in front of her was probably the kind of person who gave herself an identity in fantasy and was unable to extricate herself from the fantasy.

Ye Yue remembered that she had heard from a fellow undead that this phenomenon was called "Chuunibyou".

So, I was summoned by this Chuunibyou kid? Could it be that he really has magical powers?

Ye Yue's mental power scattered around searching, and finally found that the one who possessed the strange power was not the little chuunibyou kid in front of her, but the book in her hand.

The purple magic book without a name.

Ye Yue could feel that she had established some kind of connection with it, a special connection that she couldn't explain.

So she ignored the kid in front of her and reached out to snatch the magic book.

however--

"What are you doing? You are just a corpse ghost, and you think you can take away my magic book? Sit down!"

boom! !

Before Ye Yue got the book, she prostrated herself on the ground at the little devil's command.

Regardless of whether this counts as 'sitting', just based on the kid's command, Ye Yue had a very ominous premonition.

She might, perhaps, probably... have been enslaved by this magic book.

And the little devil holding the magic book is her master.

……

"What!? Missing?!"

Zhao Chenghu, who was in charge of investigating the pollution incident, suddenly exclaimed.

This exclamation attracted the attention of other people in the corridor of the police station. Zhao Chenghu then realized that this was not his office. He lowered his voice and asked the female team member who came to report:
"What happened? How did he disappear?" The female team member looked a little strange when she heard this. She wanted to say something but stopped, and after repeating this several times, she said to Zhao Chenghu:
“…Captain, you should come and watch the surveillance video. I’m afraid you won’t believe my explanation.”

"What can I not believe?"

Zhao Chenghu frowned and followed the female team member into the conference room to review the surveillance footage of the hospital morgue that night.

Just now, Zhao Chenghu received a report from a female team member saying that the body of someone who was contaminated a few days ago disappeared in the early hours of last night.

But before she disappeared, no one could find any trace of her, and only the surveillance footage captured the key clue.

Zhao Chenghu wanted to ask what was going on just now, but the team member under his command was mysterious and refused to say anything.

Zhao Chenghu was a little angry at first, but when he saw the footage in the surveillance video, he instantly turned into a silent tiger.

Not a word could come out.

The scene shown in the surveillance video was very clear. The contaminated female corpse kicked open the door of the morgue and climbed out.

Then, before he could leave, a dazzling light suddenly appeared under his feet and disappeared completely.

Such a strange thing, if Zhao Chenghu was not someone who knew that there were such things as strange things in this world, and if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he probably would not have believed it.

"She... is alive?"

After watching the video over and over again for a long time, Zhao Chenghu asked his subordinates.

The subordinate nodded:
"From the video, that's the case."

"Then what was the thing that teleported her away??"

"The Analysis Department analyzed the light in the picture and found some...um, magical symbols."

"what?"

Zhao Chenghu was stunned. He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

The team member repeated earnestly: "Magic symbols are the ones you often see in anime. These symbols themselves have no meaning, but when combined together, they can unleash powerful moves."

"So what you're saying is that this person came back to life and was summoned away because... because someone used magic on her??"

"Based on the current results, this is the case."

The female team member nodded in response.

After the two of them finished speaking, they fell silent. Liu Cheng, who had just joined in and had been watching for a long time, took this opportunity to ask Zhao Chenghu:
"What? There is still magic in this world?"

"No."

Zhao Chenghu said very firmly, but soon sighed: "...But there are strange things in the world today."

It is impossible for magic to exist in this world, nor are there warriors, cultivators, or other messy professions that shouldn't exist.

But, this world has wonders.

Zhao Chenghu remembered that there was a rare object in the bureau that was very consistent with Chinese culture.

Its name is [Picture of Twelve Golden Immortals], and it is an ink painting scroll depicting twelve ethereal immortals.

The ability of the scroll is that every time it is used, an "immortal" will appear and use various Taoist magic to help defend against the enemy.

Of course, although these immortals are called immortals, in fact their overall strength is not that strong. At most, their methods are just magical.

However, some of the magical spells, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique, Flying Swords to Kill Enemies, Turning Beans into Soldiers, Making Paper into People... can still be used.

However, the cost of using this scroll is extremely high.

Every time it is used, it will drain all the energy and spirit from the user's body, turning them into a complete mummy.

That is to say, every time it is used, one person will die.

And every time the "immortal" appears, he can only exist for ten minutes at most.

At the least it lasted only two minutes.

Although the immortals are indeed very powerful and have helped solve some pollution problems that China is helpless to deal with, every use of this technology comes at the cost of life. It is better for China to temporarily seal up the [Diagram of the Twelve Golden Immortals].

Only use it when you have to.

Anyway, no matter what the higher-ups think, at least from what Zhao Chenghu heard, the [Diagram of the Twelve Golden Immortals] is in a sealed state and can only be reactivated when it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, although Zhao Chenghu was surprised when he saw magic now, he was not surprised.

It seems that this is another strange object that can release magic, and it is in the hands of an unknown guy.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Make sure to find the person who used magic!"

Finally, Zhao Chenghu gave orders to his men.

He even planned to ask his superiors for help.

Because if the person who uses magic can use magic without limit, then the rare object in his hand must be a rare object equivalent to the [Diagram of the Twelve Golden Immortals]!

At least it’s S-level!
The higher the level of the magic item, the higher the price. Who knows what price the other party will have to pay for using magic?
What if it is the same as in the Twelve Golden Immortals Diagram, where lives must be sacrificed? If there is no restraint, God knows how many people will die inexplicably!
Therefore, he must get to the bottom of this matter. In a sense, the importance of this matter is even greater than this pollution!
