Chapter 91 Tonight... Who will become food?
Chapter 91 Tonight... Who will become food?
The White Bone Demon's business is booming; it's using the name of Zhang Qingguan of Wudang, and demand far exceeds supply.
But he spends his money quickly; those poor bastards in the police department.
Old Wangba had absolutely no business experience; the money the fishing expert gave him wasn't even enough for two slots at the Public Security Bureau.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since we're practically business partners now.
The "We Are a Loving Family" group has become their work group.
They really won't carry the White Bone Demon on their backs anymore.
Zhang Qingguan is still busy with the wood carving project, which is expected to take about five more days.
The Shadow Ghost, the musician, and the toad from the Dragon King River are all under surveillance.
Zhang Yijun focused on her own affairs without getting involved with any strange or supernatural forces.
She was truly able to endure it; she absorbed all the yang energy and gave it all away, keeping none for herself.
The Public Security Bureau also used Liu Feng's influence to spread rumors that Zhang Qingguan would need about ten more days before he could leave the area.
Day three.
Gu Bai continued selling wood carvings as usual, and held team-building activities every day.
After reviewing Zhang Yijun's actions again, a heated discussion broke out in the group chat.
Li Hongyi: "Zhang Yijun may be seeking symbiosis, not simply personal advancement."
Chen Youzhi: "That's probably the case. Only through symbiosis can we improve quickly."
Gu Qingyi was originally just a traffic officer with a slightly stronger physique; she couldn't even be considered a martial artist.
Since coexisting with the Bodhisattva, he has caught up with Chen Youzhi in a short period of time and has cultivated true Qi.
Li Hongyi's strength has improved rapidly since she first arrived.
Yang Xi was a martial arts master back then, but now he can't compare to Gu Qingyi.
Gu Bai looked at the group chat and realized there was no comparison.
The speed at which the monster digests yang energy is equivalent to that of humans eating and drinking, giving it a natural advantage.
Humans absorb yang energy slowly, far slower than monsters. If Zhang Qingguan hadn't been possessed by the old turtle, he would at most be a martial arts grandmaster, let alone have developed the so-called thunder technique.
During this time, I also learned why the old turtle and Zhang Qingguan had become symbiotic.
When the old turtle first appeared, it was very weak and was chased and beaten by a group of Taoist priests. It was almost drowned by Zhang Qingguan.
If it hadn't surrendered so quickly, it might have died shortly after birth.
Born with the appearance of Xuanwu (a mythical creature), and nurtured by the collective of Wudang Mountain, it soared to great heights. Along with it, Zhang Qingguan also became extraordinary, leading to the saying that a deity emerged from Wudang Mountain.
This "immortal" refers to the old turtle, but outsiders believe it to be Zhang Qingguan.
The chat in the group became increasingly lively, and Zhang Yijun and Ying Gui all believed Zhang Qingguan's statement that he would emerge from seclusion in ten days.
Chen Youzhi and his group planned to strike on the sixth day, catching them off guard.
The White Bone Demon watched silently, thinking that she would act a day earlier, creating a time difference that would catch the Public Security Bureau and her kind off guard.
The Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) is getting closer and closer; if we don't take action soon, it will be coming to our door.
"Placing all their hopes on that old turtle is a bit blind, and it's also related to the old turtle's arrogant attitude."
The White Bone Demon murmured softly, absorbing the yang energy with blissful relish.
He had initially thought that the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation was an ancient tradition, and had been worried for a while.
After truly understanding the situation, he felt relieved.
The old turtle's appearance was intimidating, and coupled with Zhang Qingguan's scientific thunder magic, it completely terrified him.
Now that we've figured out the details, we're just using human power to amplify the old turtle's perception.
I might have been wary before, but now that I'm prepared, a chance for survival has been created, and the strange radar is useless against me.
After taking a bath, everyone went home.
Inside the bedroom.
A skeleton climbed in through the window.
"Can we move now?" the skeleton asked.
Gu Bai nodded slightly: "We can start now. We'll lure the [Tai Sui] there. The night after tomorrow, when we're soaking in the blood pool, we'll make our move, directly draining the Yang energy, expanding the granary, and drawing out the [Tai Sui]."
"I took a stroll around today. The Shadow Ghost and the Musician's true form have arrived. They are working with that guy from the Dragon King River to seal off the new city area and search for the [Tai Sui]."
The skeleton said, "Besides them, I also sensed the presence of my own kind, but they were very cautious, neither showing themselves nor leaving any trace."
"It's alright, they'll come out naturally when the time comes," Gu Bai said. "Have you figured out the specific abilities of that toad in the Dragon King River?"
"Its water-based abilities are so subtle that it disappears into the water and can drain away moisture. If we weren't in the dark, we would have had a hard time finding it."
The skeleton said, "The Han River is not far away. Once it disappears into the river, no one will be able to catch it."
"It's a shame it doesn't sell beef jerky," Gu Bai said regretfully.
With such great skills, why not just go and make dried goods? Wouldn't that make you incredibly wealthy?
"I'm not coming back after I leave," the skeleton said.
Gu Bai tossed him the patched-up leather jacket: "Put this on. This is your identity. The musician has seen this face before."
The skeletal figure donned a leather coat and approached the window: "Can I use lightning magic?"
Gu Bai said, "Of course, science is individualized. If you like the strange things in science, then a clap of thunder is perfectly normal."
"Ha." The skeleton chuckled softly and left through the window.
Gu Bai took off his leather jacket and lay down to rest.
The skeleton, exuding the scent of mycelium, wandered through the streets, attracting the [Tai Sui] to the wine pool and meat forest.
One night passed.
The White Bone Demon stretched, got up, ate a blood bead, and began another leisurely and fulfilling day.
In the evening, as usual, we went for team building activities to absorb yang energy.
The skeleton, hidden in the shadows, greedily absorbed yang energy, and the mycelium within it rapidly multiplied and grew.
Beneath the earth, undercurrents surged, and countless mycelia came like a torrent.
After taking a bath, Gu Bai and the security guards left.
Looking back at the building, I felt a pang of regret; such a fertile land for grain production was about to come to an end.
Life is inevitably full of ups and downs, and there are many disappointments in life.
Nothing was said that night, and before we knew it, it was afternoon.
Inside the Public Security Bureau.
Zhang Qingguan pushed open the door, his eyes gleaming with dark circles: "Team Leader Li, Team Leader Chen, the wood carvings are all finished. Distribute them."
"You've worked hard." Chen Youzhi quickly stepped forward to help him up. "Go and rest first. We'll start once you've woken up."
"I'll just sleep here." Zhang Qingguan was so sleepy that he fell asleep right there on the table.
Old Wangba asked, "Are we manpower enough?"
Li Hongyi said, "We have already dispatched personnel from the townships to patrol the entire city from now on."
The old turtle sighed reluctantly, "What a pity, I wanted to eat here for two more days."
"There will be opportunities in the future," Li Hongyi said.
Each piece of basalt wood carving was distributed, imbued with the old turtle's power.
As a symbiotic being, Zhang Qingguan could naturally also utilize the power of the old turtle. However, the old turtle had no patience to stay with Zhang Qingguan and keep him busy working at the Public Security Bureau.
It was evening.
Drip
Inside the police station, a piercing alarm sounded.
"Captain Chen, Captain Li, something's wrong. The eerie aura is exceptionally strong, and the energy fluctuations are consistent with those of the zombie silk. It should be the [Tai Sui]." Yang Xi quickly entered the conference room.
Li Hongyi asked, "Where?"
"A place of debauchery and debauchery, where we've infiltrated," Yang Xi said solemnly. "We've already dispatched drones to remotely monitor it; here's the footage."
The image was projected onto the wallpaper, showing the walls of a tall building covered with eerie mycelium that extended upwards from the ground.
"【Tai Sui】! It must be the yang energy there that attracted it." Li Hongyi's eyes gleamed. "Act immediately. If 【Tai Sui】 appears, they will all appear. We need to move our forces ahead of schedule."
"You little rascal, wake up!"
"I'll call Gu Bai; he can help now," Gu Qingyi said.
Looking at the messages on her phone, the White Bone Demon grinned: "Tonight... who will become food? My kind, this time it's different..."
