Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

"Shopping? What shopping?! Did you hear what I said?! This temple might be haunted!" Mo Fan exclaimed. He had been troubled by the girl for a long time, and he was finally ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lin Chen, but Jiang Shaoxu intercepted him. How could he tolerate this?

"I heard that, right? It's just that there are ghosts! That's why I want Lin Chen to come with me even more. How can a weak woman like me dare to walk alone at night? Besides, I believe Lin Chen would definitely not want me to walk alone at night." Jiang Shaoxu tossed her hair, exuding an alluring charm with every move.

"Come on, come on! I'll go shopping with you!" Lin Chen is a proper man, how could he be bewitched by Jiang Shaoxu? Even if something really happened between the two of them, one is unmarried and the other is unmarried, Lin Chen wouldn't lose anything.

Once in the city, Jiang Shaoxu bought some skincare products and snacks. On the way back, she happened to see an izakaya (Japanese pub) and pulled Lin Chen inside.

Upon seeing the incredibly alluring Jiang Shaoxu, the izakaya owner launched into a lively conversation with her.

When the izakaya owner learned that Jiang Shaoxu and the others lived halfway up the mountain, his expression turned strange. He then told Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu an urban legend about a soul-reaping messenger, which made Jiang Shaoxu, who was already a little scared, even more flustered.

However, when she saw Lin Chen sitting next to her, she felt inexplicably at ease. It seemed that with Lin Chen's presence, Jiang Shaoxu was no longer so afraid of ghosts and monsters.

After having a late-night snack, the two walked up the steps. Just as they entered the temple gate, they saw Jiang Yu rushing out in a hurry.

"Jiang Yu, what are you rushing off to do?" Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously.

"Of course we were looking for you. You're finally back. If Mo Fan hadn't known you went down the mountain, we would have thought you two had disappeared too," Jiang Yu replied.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Zhao Manyan is in trouble. He's freezing cold, like he's been poisoned by some kind of cold poison, but he's still alive."

"It's like falling into a deep sleep," Jiang Yu said.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Lin Chen said, and followed Jiang Yu to Zhao Manyan's room.

Everyone was here at that moment, and Mo Fan's expression was particularly grim.

"The healing magic didn't work?" Lin Chen asked Nan Rongni.

"No, but he's not in mortal danger. However, I'm worried that his vital functions may be impaired," Nan Rongni replied.

"Could it really be the Soul Reaper coming to collect souls?" Jiang Shaoxu covered her mouth with her hand and said in horror.

"Do you know what happened?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"People down the mountain say that this temple is often the site of soul-stealing incidents." Lin Chen then recounted what he and Jiang Shaoxu had overheard at the izakaya.

"Can we stop being so superstitious? This is a magical society." Nan Jue, seeing the uneasy expressions on everyone's faces, immediately interrupted their speculation.

"What the people down the mountain said is probably right," Mo Fan said at this moment, and described what had happened today again.

"Why did you see Zhao Manyan being possessed by a ghost?" Mu Ningxue looked at Mo Fan suspiciously.

Mo Fan looked embarrassed and scratched his head. "I ran into that female ghost again tonight. He asked me my name. Lin Chen warned me not to trick him, so I was on guard and gave him Zhao Manyan's name."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Mo Fan with strange eyes. Mo Fan was really a troublemaker, and Zhao Manyan had unwittingly taken the blame for Mo Fan.

"Since there are already rumors of soul-reaping messengers down the mountain, is there any way to resolve this?" Ai Jiangtu asked. His teammate was in trouble, and as the team leader, he had a responsibility to save him.

"We should get rid of this troublesome ghost so that Zhao Manyan can recover. As for what the ghost is possessing, it should be in the vicinity of this temple, otherwise it would have disappeared long ago," Lin Chen said.

"While we were looking for you two, we searched the entire temple. We haven't checked the back mountain yet," Nan Jue said.

"Nan Jue, Mo Fan, Lin Chen, and Jiang Shaoxu, the four of you come with me to the back mountain to search. The rest of you stay here and protect Zhao Manyan just in case," Ai Jiangtu instructed.

Lin Chen and the others arrived at the back mountain, where there was an abandoned ancient path. Following the path forward, they cleared away the weeds blocking the end of the path and finally discovered a hidden, dilapidated temple. Inside the temple, an ancient wooden fish was enshrined, with some very ancient magical characters carved on it.

"Why is there a wooden fish here?" Mo Fan reached out to touch it, but was jolted back by a burst of bright yellow lightning released by the wooden fish.

"This seems to be a magical artifact, and it's also protected by a restriction. It must be something special. Let me study it." Nan Jue said, hovering his palm above the wooden fish and using his mind to sense it.

A moment later, Nan Jue stopped studying the wooden fish and said, "This is a Soul-level magical artifact. The girl Mo Fan met should be the spirit of this artifact. She's the one who lured Zhao Manyan's soul into its blood. To save Zhao Manyan, we need to enter the wooden fish and bring out his soul, but we can't damage the wooden fish itself, otherwise Zhao Manyan's soul will disappear along with it."

Just as Lin Chen was about to reach out and touch the wooden fish, he immediately felt a resistance emanating from it, as if the wooden fish would run away on its own if he got too close.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Chen's mind, informing him that he could use this magical tool to summon a powerful water-type Digimon.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly. If it were anything else, he would have reluctantly accepted it, but this was a totem vessel related to Baxia, which could communicate with Baxia, obtain its help, and greatly assist Zhao Manyan's future cultivation.

Moreover, based on the resistance Lin Chen sensed from the wooden fish, he wasn't entirely confident he could catch it. Lin Chen wouldn't do something so risky and uncertain.

"I'm not going. I feel like this magical artifact doesn't like me getting close to it," Lin Chen said truthfully.

"Soul-level magical artifacts all have a self-preservation instinct. There must be something on you that makes it fear you." Nan Jue looked at Lin Chen curiously, as if trying to see through him.

"I'm not going in either," Jiang Shaoxu quickly said, not wanting to try something unknown.

"Mo Fan, come in with me," Ai Jiangtu said.

Mo Fan nodded.

After being hypnotized by Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Jue sent the souls of Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu into the wooden fish magic tool.

After waiting for a while, Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu woke up and told Lin Chen and the other two,

Zhao Manyan has been rescued.
