Chapter 452 Magical Artifact! Experiment! (Seeking monthly votes)

Dachang City, Club Manor.

In the lounge on the fourth floor, Mu Sheng pushed away Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan's arms that were pressing against his chest.

She tiptoed out of bed and left the room.

"Woke up?"

Hearing the noise, Su Lei turned around and looked over: "I just prepared breakfast and was about to go wake you up!"

Mu Sheng walked forward and saw that the table was already full of food, including fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, steamed buns, and ghee cakes.

These are all foods that Musheng likes to eat.

"Such a sumptuous feast! You truly are my wise and capable wife!"

Mu Sheng put his arm around Su Lei's waist and leaned down to kiss her.

"Ugh~" Su Lei pushed Mu Sheng's face away in disgust: "You smell bad, go brush your teeth first."

"Really?" Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, put his hand to his mouth, breathed on it, and smelled it.

"It really does smell delicious; it's the seafood soup you made last night!"

Mu Sheng looked at Su Lei with a teasing gaze, and the latter immediately realized something, a blush rising on her cheeks, and she retorted:
"How come it's my soup? Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan made plenty of soup last night too!"

Mu Sheng's smile widened. He squeezed Su Lei's soup pot and said, "You forgot? You were the last one yesterday."

The absurd scene from last night immediately flashed through Su Lei's mind.

Unable to argue for the time being, she could only push Mu Sheng towards the bathroom in a fit of anger and embarrassment.

"Alright, stop talking and go wash up!"

Seeing this, Mu Sheng stopped teasing her and went to the bathroom to brush the salty taste from his mouth.

After quickly brushing his teeth, Mu Sheng plopped down at the dining table, mashed a bowl of salty and spicy tofu pudding with a spoon, and started eating it with fried dough sticks.

'Huh? They all taste salty, so I wasted my time brushing my teeth?'

'By the way, could we use abalone soup to make tofu pudding?'

As Mu Sheng chewed his food, a slightly perverted thought suddenly popped into his mind: Xuan Wei was a bit twisted.

After glancing at Su Lei, Mu Sheng abandoned the unreliable idea.

It's one thing when you're deeply in love, but to deliberately go and eat this stuff is truly perverted!
Mu Sheng, a morally upright gentleman bathed in holy light, would never do such a thing.

"Where are Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan? Aren't they up yet?"

Su Lei grabbed a piece of fried dough filled with donkey intestines in one hand, took a bite of the mutton offal in the bowl, and then asked.

Su Lei didn't originally like eating greasy food, but ever since she accepted the divine position and became Mu Sheng's servant...

Influenced by Mu Sheng, I gradually came to like these foods.

"They'll probably need to sleep for a few more hours," Mu Sheng replied without looking up.

Since their class reunion more than half a month ago, Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan have been frequently visiting the manor.

As a seasoned veteran in the dating scene, Mu Sheng naturally saw through their intentions at a glance.

First came the ghostly knocking incident at No. 7 Middle School, and then, less than a month later, the ghostly mirror incident occurred.

Beneath the seemingly ordinary and harmonious world lies a terrifying and despairing reality, leaving Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan with psychological trauma.

If it weren't for Su Lei's example, the two of them would most likely have spent the rest of their lives in unease and anxiety.

Finally, after the paranormal event completely erupted, or in some paranormal event before that, they became one of the victims.

Because of Mu Sheng's flirtatious ways, Yang Jian is unlikely to become Yang Jian, and therefore no one has been able to block the supernatural passage for fifty years.

In other words, the resurgence of vengeful ghosts and the arrival of the supernatural era are an inevitable future.

'hiss! '

'So, does that mean I've become the main villain?'

I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!

Mu Sheng, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up, his brows furrowed as he stared ahead, his gaze falling on the Golden Ghost Prison of the supernatural world.

The Ghost Prison, with a diameter of over a thousand meters, looks quite large, but compared to the passage connecting the supernatural and the real, it's nothing.

According to the original text, the number of ghosts in the depths of the supernatural realm is endless. Given the current scale of the Golden Ghost Prison, it's likely a futile effort, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

'I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll deal with it when the time comes. Anyway, there are still several years before the paranormal outbreak.'

Mu Sheng shook his head and continued to enjoy his breakfast.

After half an hour.

Mu Sheng and Su Lei had finished breakfast, but Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan inside the house were still not awake.

On a path within the manor, Mu Sheng and Su Lei were strolling hand in hand.

"By the way, I've finished making the exorcism artifact I mentioned before."

Mu Sheng reached behind his back and a palm-sized object, resembling a Bagua mirror, appeared in his hand.

Is it ready?

Su Lei's face lit up with surprise as she curiously examined the magical artifact in Mu Sheng's hand.

The ritual implement is shaped like a regular octagonal wooden plaque, with a clear mercury glass mirror inlaid in the center of the front of the plaque.

A blue border was engraved on the wooden plaque on the outer layer of the glass mirror.

Su Lei took the wooden plaque from Mu Sheng's hand, and then found a golden talisman on the back of the plaque.

"Is that small mirror in the middle the ghost we encountered at the party before?"

Su Lei examined it carefully several times and soon sensed a familiar power on the wooden sign.

"And this golden rune on the back must be the power sealed by the Ghost Prison!"

"As for what these blue patterns are, I have no idea, but they're probably some kind of ghostly supernatural phenomenon."

"am I right?"

After speaking, Su Lei looked up at Mu Sheng, expectantly awaiting his praise.

"Not bad, recognizing so many things. No wonder you're the number one in our underworld."

Mu Sheng did not hold back his praise and affirmed Su Lei's judgment.

"hey-hey!"

Hearing Mu Sheng's slightly exaggerated praise, Su Lei's face showed genuine happiness.

"So what exactly are the functions of this magical artifact?" Su Lei asked curiously.

These magical artifacts were prepared for her parents, but Su Lei still wanted to ask them some questions.

Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng pulled out another magical artifact from behind his back and said, "Besides what you just mentioned, this wooden plaque also originates from the supernatural power of a ghost."

“This ghost is special.” In Mu Sheng’s mind, the image of that Free Guy flashed: “He’s a ghost that obeys traffic rules.”

"Obey? Traffic rules? Ghosts?"

Su Lei's forehead was covered in question marks; she found it difficult to connect these words together.

Do ghosts, representing terror and death, also obey traffic rules?
If it hadn't just come from Mu Sheng's mouth, Su Lei would have thought this man was crazy.

"Yes." Mu Sheng briefly described the killing patterns of the wooden pendant ghost.

"I slightly modified this rule so that the artifact will be activated when the owner of the artifact encounters a ghost or is in danger."

"The sealing runes on the back will form a protective magic domain with a radius of three meters, centered on the magic artifact."

"Uh, it's actually the Ghost Domain!" "The Magic Domain isolates the holder of the magical artifact from reality, and ordinary ghosts cannot break through it."

"If the danger comes from humans, the blue pattern on the wooden plaque will transform into a ghost servant with a physical form, which will be enough to resolve most dangers from humans."

Su Lei examined the magical artifact in her hand again, and was surprised to find that a small wooden plaque actually contained four kinds of supernatural power.

"What if you encounter an unusual ghost?"

"If we encounter a supernatural entity that also possesses a ghostly aura, the Dharma Domain shouldn't be able to hold it off for long, right?"

Su Lei now also controls a vengeful ghost called Ghost Mist, and she knows all too well how unreasonable the Ghost Realm is.

It's somewhat like the kingdom of gods in mythology.

“You guessed right, that’s how it is!” Mu Sheng nodded.

After all, it was just a wisp of supernatural power from the Golden Ghost Prison, like water without roots.

"But don't worry, don't forget the small mirror in the middle of the artifact. It's a mirror node, so once the artifact is triggered, I can confirm its location immediately."

"At my speed, I can arrive before the magical artifact is damaged."

Mu Sheng made a solemn vow.

What, you're saying what if we encounter a ghost of the wishing ghost level?

What else can we do?
If you're really that unlucky, then it's fate that you're going to die, and you have no choice but to die. Just accept your fate!
Even Mu Sheng himself would be seriously injured if he wasn't careful with a ghost of this level; for an ordinary person, encountering one would be a matter of fate.

"Thank you, Musheng, you've gone to so much trouble for my parents' safety!"

Su Lei hugged Mu Sheng's arm and said gratefully.

She knew that if it weren't for her, Mu Sheng wouldn't have bothered to do these things, which were of no use to him.

"Why are you thanking me between us?"

Mu Sheng affectionately touched Su Lei's cheek: "Your parents are also my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so this is what I should do."

"It's not hard work at all, it's just a small favor!"

That's the truth; it took Mu Sheng less than a day to make this thing.

However, Su Lei didn't think so. She took it as Mu Sheng comforting her and was even more moved by his words.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng didn't explain further; there was no need, and besides, he might even unlock some more knowledge.

"I've left four more magical artifacts in your room. Go and get them for Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan when they wake up."

"Oh, I see!"

After returning from her walk, Su Lei took the two magical artifacts to her parents.

Mu Sheng then went to the fifth floor and began testing the supernatural powers of the Deceitful Ghost.

The Second Level of the Golden Ghost Prison

[Divine Positions]: Su Lei (Ghost Mist), Wang Shanshan (None), Miao Xiaoshan (None)
[Ghosts]: Human skin paper ghost, newspaper ghost, grave soil ghost, ghost fog, ghost hair, corpse water ghost, ghost tattoo ghost, skull ghost, wooden pendant ghost, deceitful ghost (36%).
[Underworld Messengers] Feng Quan, Ye Jun, Zhang Han, Zhao Kaiming.

Three days have passed since Mu Sheng imprisoned the swindler.

After sending Gu Miaojun back that day, Mu Sheng did not linger in Da'an City and returned directly to the club estate.

While paranormal events have entered a period of high incidence, that data is based on national-level statistics.

Unless it's a ghost like the "knocking ghost," which can block out a large area every time it appears, ordinary paranormal events are not so easy to discover.

At least for Mu Sheng, conducting a thorough search for vengeful spirits is not an efficient or good option.

"It seems that cooperation with headquarters needs to begin as soon as possible."

Mu Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "It would be perfect to use the magical artifacts I crafted to exchange information about supernatural events with headquarters."

"What was the name of that liaison officer again? Qin Meiniang?"

"Never mind, it's not important. We'll talk about it later!"

Mu Sheng thought about it for a moment but couldn't remember, so he put it out of his mind.

"Let's study the supernatural phenomena of the Deceitful Ghost first. If we use this power well, we can establish our own intelligence system in a short period of time."

A wisp of Mu Sheng's consciousness sank into a grave mound in the second level of the Golden Ghost Prison, activating the Deceitful Ghost's supernatural power.

Then he casually picked up a transparent cup from the table.

"This is a blue cup."

Mu Sheng began to deceive his senses, and soon the transparent cup turned blue in his vision.

"Did it cloud my perception? No, it clouded the perception of everyone who saw this cup—all living beings!"

"No, that's not right either!"

Mu Sheng carefully examined the cup in his hand, using various methods to perceive its shape.

"It really turned blue. The rules of the Deceitful Ghost have corrupted it and completely changed the color of the cup."

"So it wasn't deceiving my senses, but deceiving the cup itself?"

Mu Sheng then tried changing the shape and material of the cup, and even turned the cup into a motorcycle.

"Boom~Boom~"

Mu Sheng twisted the throttle of the motorcycle, listening to the roar of the engine in his ears.

This is actually a motorcycle that can be driven normally.

"Interesting, interesting. As expected of a rule-based ability, it's far more advanced than illusions and the like."

"Ordinary matter can be altered, but what about supernatural objects? Ghosts?"

Although Gao Zhiqiang once turned himself into a ghost.

But that practice is less about turning people into ghosts and more about giving deceitful ghosts the memories of living people.

The two are on completely different levels of difficulty.

Mu Sheng even doubted whether Gao Zhiqiang could really give other ghosts, besides the deceitful ghost, the consciousness of a living person.
If it were truly possible, then the Deceitful Ghost could be considered a super S-class vengeful ghost.

After all, if too many ghosts were to acquire the consciousness of living people, humanity would probably perish in no time.

"Let's see if the supernatural power of the Deceitful Ghost can change the form of the Ghost's body."

Since Mu Sheng himself happened to be a ghost, he began experimenting on himself.

"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

Mu Sheng kept using the supernatural powers of the Deceitful Ghost to deceive himself.

Before long, he sensed the intrusion of a force of rules, which was blocked by his ghostly body.

"Theoretically it's possible, but in practice, the supernatural power level isn't high enough!"

Mu Sheng deliberately did not resist, and the memory of a monkey appeared in his mind, but his body did not change.

After briefly reviewing the memory, Mu Sheng banished it again.

"The power of the Liar Ghost's rules is still too weak. This wouldn't happen if it were the Wishing Ghost."

Mu Sheng recalled the force that had almost crushed him, and felt a sharp pain in his groin.

"Since we can't fool the ghosts, let's get down to business and get a group of competent subordinates."

"What should we choose? The Dragon Elephant Guard from The Return of the Condor Heroes? The Legion from Attack on Titan? Or the Anbu from Naruto?"
