Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

After Lou Yun said this, Zhang Cirui was no longer excited and just quietly pleaded for his innocence.

"Brother Jie, I really wasn't impulsive. I was like a demon at that time."

Qiu Wenjian also spoke up for him.

"Captain, I have the same strange feeling. That woman might have used some hypnotic technique. Zhang Cirui is quite impulsive and he's the closest to her, so it's not surprising that he was the first to fall for her."

Zhang Jie nodded.

"I don't blame you, and there's no big trouble. Just focus on recovering from your injuries."

Xun Hongliang continued to briefly describe what happened, including how Qiu Wenjian shot an arrow to stop the big man from beating Zhang Cirui, and how he shot another arrow to shoot away the dagger of the woman who was about to kidnap Lou Yun.

"Because I was worried they were from the hostile Samsara team, and there might be someone watching them, I followed Xun Hongliang's explanation and acted like a rookie with great archery talent. I randomly shot an arrow in a random direction as a warning. I thought they would be scared off, but I didn't expect them to counterattack in the end. Fortunately, you're back, Captain."

Qiu Wenjian continued speaking.

In fact, he saw Zhang Jie coming with his eagle eyes, so he looked calm and composed. Besides, even if Zhang Jie was too late, the Spear of Leonidas in his hand was not to be trifled with.

This weapon can enable people to move through space. If Zhang Jie fails to catch up with the counterattack of the two, he will teleport away and then use a punch (modified) to give everyone a physical version of memory erasure, so that no one will remember what happened.

"Then, to fit in with my character, I raised my hand as if preparing a spell. I only lowered my hand when I thought the people watching us had run away."

Through Eagle Eyes, Qiu Wenjian did see someone watching him, and the third arrow he shot did hit that person's feet. He didn't expect that person was still so cruel and wanted to control others to attack him.

If Zhang Jie hadn't come back quickly, he might have really exposed something.

He did wait until the man ran away before letting go of his hand. Now, those enemies would probably think that Qiu Wenjian was a tough foe who practiced both magic and martial arts.

All in all, it’s fine as long as the character is intact. If this continues, this group of people will be even less likely to cause trouble.

"Brother Jie, those two people might be controlled by the enemy Samsara team, or more simply, they are members of the enemy Samsara team who came here to investigate."

“I think that’s a possibility too.”

Qiu Wenjian also agreed with Xun Hongliang. To be honest, this guy is quite smart, but sometimes he thinks too much.

Zhang Jie listened to what the two said and nodded in agreement.

"It seems this was a test from the enemy. Your reaction... was quite good."

Nothing serious happened, and Qiu Wenjian's disguise should not have been exposed, so Zhang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, at that time...why didn't the captain stop them and investigate?"

Ye Zixuan, who had been quiet the whole time, made the atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, become a little dull again.

No one answered.

After a while, just when Zhang Jie was about to speak, Xun Hongliang slapped his thigh again.

"I see!"

This guy likes to pat his thighs whenever he thinks of something. Zhang Jie suspects that his legs are so thick because he pats them too much.

Covering his head, Zhang Jie was speechless.

I was just about to admit that it was my mistake. I thought they were just two ordinary thugs and that my teammate had gotten into trouble, so I kicked him away and ignored him.

As a result, Xun Hongliang understood again.

What did he know this time?

"Brother Jie must have discovered these people's tricks and knew they were being controlled, so he didn't want to kill innocent people. Brother Jie, you are really a kind person!"

Zhang Jie didn't know what to say, but fortunately decided not to explain.

Let him think whatever he wants.

"Alright, let's let Zhang Cirui rest. Everyone go back and be more vigilant. The enemy's probing may not end so easily. Don't leave the bookmarks I gave you."

Not wanting to talk any more, Zhang Jie ended the conversation, and everyone went back to their rooms without saying anything more.

Section 18 Chapter 16 Being Different is Too Helpless

Qiu Wenjian was in the room, thinking about what happened today.

The street I was on today was so quiet. Now that I think about it, maybe the enemy used some magic similar to the one in A Certain Magical Index to drive away idlers.

If this is true, it is more likely that it is the enemy's reincarnation team. Qiu Wenjian has never heard of such magic in this world.

Thinking about the future direction, Qiu Wenjian was a little undecided.

All along, there have been slight differences between his and Zhang Jie's plans.

Zhang Jie hopes to complete the tasks honestly and improve his level. The local reincarnation team should not care about it. He just needs to wait for the Bone King to come and hold on to his thighs.

But after Qiu Wenjian obtained so much information recently, he also chose two more suitable options from many alternatives.

One is what Zhang Jie thought. In Qiu Wenjian's current opinion, the enemy's reincarnation team is not a strong one. Until now, they have only dared to make indirect attacks and dared not to conduct direct tests. It is very likely that they do not have enough strength.

But what if? What if the other party is also a very cautious person, and these temptations are just out of caution, so they don't take action personally?

Another plan, which Qiu Wenjian hopes to implement more, is to find the enemy team first.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Jie's plan is to passively accept and respond to each move as it comes. This is also helpless. In his opinion, his team does not have the capital to take the initiative.

But Qiu Wenjian is actually capable of fighting. He has been looking for an opportunity to persuade Zhang Jie to destroy the enemy's reincarnation team first.

However, my behavior today is a good excuse, and maybe it will allow me to act alone.

It’s better to act alone... Teammates who haven’t grown up are just stupid teammates, and it’s not safe to bring them along.

After making up his mind, Qiu Wenjian called Zhang Jie who was lying on the bed resting.

"team leader?"

"Well, what happened?"

"I want to go monster hunting with you tomorrow."

Zhang Jie stood up and looked at Qiu Wenjian in surprise.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

"Look, you're already a silver medal now, right? But I'm still a bronze medal. When Lao Gu shows up, shouldn't we both have a higher adventurer level, the better?"

"That being said, can you do it?"

Zhang Jie looked at Qiu Wenjian in confusion.

"My archery skills are okay."

"Well, that's true. Why didn't you tell me that before?"

"You didn't ask?"

Zhang Jie was speechless.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow to try it out and see what the results are... But, if you leave, what will happen to them? I can't go out with a bunch of rookies, it would only make things worse."

Qiu Wenjian thought about it.

"Captain, can your bookmark form a protective barrier or something like that?"

"No, my bookmark already contains several kinds of free methods. It's very complicated. It's difficult to combine them again, and I don't have the materials."

The law of freedom?

It was a very familiar name, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Qiu Wenjian looked puzzled, and Zhang Jie explained it briefly.

"The last world I experienced was Shakugan no Shana. These bookmarks contain a magical power, one of which is called Seal. Its effect is to draw the user into a barrier that isolates them from the external world of time and causality. I set it to automatically trigger when it receives damage. If the enemy doesn't have the corresponding resistance, they will be directly isolated. If they do have resistance, the bookmark also contains a magical power that can be used for defense. When Seal is activated, I will be able to sense it and rush over quickly."

Qiu Wenjian nodded thoughtfully. Shakugan no Shana... He had just thought of Shakugan no Xiahou Dun. Times had really changed...

"If you hadn't shot away that iron rod or that dagger, the seals on Zhang Cirui and Lou Yun might have been activated. But it's better this way. Making this bookmark is quite troublesome, so I'd rather save one if I can."

This is a bit of a dilemma. If I leave, I won't be assured of the safety of these rookie teammates.

I can’t walk by myself…

What if you let them dress up as yourself?

As long as there is a "self" here, most people would not dare to act rashly, right?

But after thinking about it carefully, this didn't seem to work. I was going to the guild to level up, and I had to kill monsters without leaving the city. Everyone knew that one of them would be a fake.

Huh? Fake?

Qiu Wenjian's eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.

"Captain, do you have any way to make others look like me?"

"Well, it seems you've seen Shakugan no Shana. If you use the power of existence, you can do this. But who do you want to pretend to be you? You also want to increase your adventurer level... If you do this, won't you tell others that there's a Qiu Wenjian who is fake?"

"I didn't say I wanted anyone to become me."

Qiu Wenjian smiled faintly.

"I mean, make them all me."

Section 19 Chapter 17 The Power of Existence is Too Easy to Use

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and the stars in the sky seemed to have hidden themselves. In the dim light, Zhang Jie placed his hand on Qiu Wenjian's chest.

Qiu Wenjian swallowed and confirmed dryly.

"Captain, is there any danger?"

Zhang Jie, on the other hand, looked calm and composed.

"Don't worry, I've lent you everything. It's just that it's lacking some power of existence, which I'll replenish immediately."

The power of existence, in Shakugan no Shana, is a term for energy. To put it simply, it is a blue bar, but to put it in a more complex way, it involves various causes and effects.

In the anime, Shana used the power of Hirai Enishi's existence to replace herself with this character.

If a person's power of existence disappears, the final conclusion is that this person's existence also disappears, and everything related to him will disappear.

Qiu Wenjian originally planned to let Zhang Jie give it a try, because he had been to Shakugan no Shana's world and understood the law of freedom. Maybe he could use the power of existence to create illusions or something.

As a result, he directly told Qiu Wenjian that he wanted to extract a part of his power of existence so that other people would disguise themselves more like Qiu Wenjian.

He was really looking for trouble. This made Qiu Wenjian very worried and he hesitated for a long time.

According to the relevant statement he saw in the friendship store, if only a part of the power of existence is extracted, it can be restored, but if too much is extracted, it cannot be restored unless there is a corresponding prop.

For example, the strange gear-like prop in the hand that Zhang Jie lent to Qiu Wenjian is the Zero Hour Lost Child.

In fact, Qiu Wenjian was quite surprised. This item can be said to be a key item throughout the entire series of Shakugan no Shana. It is also a very powerful item. At twelve o'clock in the morning every day, the host's power of existence will be fully restored. For people who use the power of existence, as long as they don't die suddenly at once, they can use it as they please.

I don’t know how Zhang Jie got this thing.

It was also because of this thing that Qiu Wenjian used his eagle eyes to observe for a long time. After confirming that there was no problem, he dared to let Zhang Jie use a small part of his power of existence.

There is no other way. To make others look like him, in a sense, is to let others replace his existence. According to Zhang Jie, directly using Qiu Wenjian's power of existence is the best way to disguise others.

Just before twelve o'clock, Zhang Jie finally took action.

From Qiu Wenjian's perspective, a small blue flame emerged from his body and finally stayed on Zhang Jie's fingertips. He felt as if something was missing and felt a little uncomfortable, but it got better later.

"Of course, I didn't realize that your power of existence is so strong. You might be able to recover on your own without the Zero Hour Lost Child."

In Shakugan no Shana, the Fire Mist Warrior's Existential Force automatically recovers. Now that he's a somewhat capable person, it's probably normal for him to recover. According to Zhang Jie, he used a special method of freedom to extract the Existential Force, so it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

However, it is better to use props to recover quickly. This kind of adventure is too disturbing.

Soon it was twelve o'clock, and the Zero Hour Lost Child emitted a gentle light. A comfortable feeling enveloped Qiu Wenjian's whole body. When he came to his senses, the Zero Hour Lost Child had been taken back by Zhang Jie.

"Is this the end?"

"What else? You're still dreaming of a huge light piercing the sky and earth, and some background music playing? This isn't like cooking."

It felt a little unreal, so I checked myself carefully and found nothing was wrong.

"Alright, tomorrow I'll use the power of your presence to envelop them. To others, they'll appear to be four Qiu Wenjians. You're incredible! The purpose of this overt conspiracy is to let others know that the others are fake, and only Qiu Wenjian is the real one. Young man, you have a future."
