Urban Demon Refining System

"Dad, I'm home!" Pushing open the door, the room was as dark as ever; it seemed Zhao Dahai had gone to work the night shift again.

"Sigh! Nobody's here again!" Zhao Baichuan plopped down on the sofa, not wanting to move a single finger, but the events of the day kept flashing through his mind. From catching the cactus demon in the morning, to meeting Xiao Yang, a fellow player, and then taming the tricolor lizard, these scenes flashed through his head like a slideshow.

"How on earth did you manage to unseal it?" As he was thinking this, he couldn't help but take out his phone, open the sealed stone that he had been keeping in his inventory, and examine it closely.

Sealing Stone: A stone that seals away an unknown creature; its effects are unknown.

The introduction was still very simple, leaving people completely confused.

"Does this mean I can only change my tools?" Although Xiao Yang could guarantee that he would get the new Demon Refining Teapot, he was still unwilling to unseal it. On the other hand, he didn't want to be like the guy in the baseball cap, whose strength was delayed because of a stone. So he was in a dilemma.

"Flower!"

"Squeak!"

……

Just as Zhao Baichuan was filled with speculation and questions, his phone screen suddenly lit up automatically, and in a moment, the figures of the flower fairy and the newly tamed tricolor lizard appeared.

"Um, you guys..."

"Flower!" The flower fairy ignored his confusion and circled around his body, as if trying to express something, while the tricolor lizard on the ground also made a "gurgling" sound.

"What's wrong with you guys? Your reaction is so strange!"

"Hua Hua!" Seeing that Zhao Baichuan hadn't made any move, the flower fairy got anxious and reached out to grab his clothes, trying to pull him into the house.

"You mean you want me to go to my bedroom?" Zhao Baichuan finally guessed the flower fairy's intention. "Is there something inside?"

"Hua Hua!" the flower fairy called out twice and rushed into the bedroom first, followed closely by the tricolor lizard. Zhao Baichuan, on the other hand, was filled with curiosity, thinking, "It was fine when I left this morning, could something have happened now?"

"Could it be a thief?" After the incident with the baseball cap, he seemed a little suspicious. He nervously swallowed and slowly walked towards the bedroom.

With a "snap!" the bedroom light was turned on. Just like when I left, the items inside weren't exactly tidy, but they weren't messy either, and it didn't look like it had been burgled.

"Huahua, what are you taking me to find?" Zhao Baichuan also breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't a thief.

"Flower!" The flower fairy flew to the pillow on the bed and kept calling out, as if there was something inside.

"My pillow? There's nothing under it." Zhao Baichuan asked in confusion. Apart from putting his phone under his pillow after sleeping at night, there didn't seem to be anything there.

With a mixture of curiosity and confusion, he gently picked up the pillow.

"Huh? What's this...?" Zhao Baichuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, because there was actually a yellow talisman here!

That's right, it's a talisman paper, with some characters left on it in red cinnabar ink.

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy gently landed on his hand, staring intently at the talisman in front of her, her eyes revealing a complex mix of longing and fear.

"Could there be some secret behind this talisman?" Finding a talisman under one's pillow out of nowhere would make anyone uneasy, but Zhao Baichuan, having been exposed to the game, was quite resilient. After a moment of surprise, he began to speculate about the origin of the talisman.

It's obvious that she didn't put it there herself, and judging from the flower fairy's behavior, it wasn't her who did it either. Besides, it doesn't look like any outsiders have been in the house.

"Could it be my dad?" After thinking it over, this was the only possibility. After I left home, Zhao Dahai did come to my room, but my father was a soldier and a staunch atheist. He shouldn't believe in things like talismans, which are considered feudal superstitions.

"Whoosh!" Just then, the talisman suddenly began to shake violently. Caught off guard, Zhao Baichuan caused it to fly out of his hand.

"Squeak!" The tricolor lizard suddenly cried out in alarm, as if something had startled it.

"What's wrong..." Zhao Baichuan was equally shocked, but the next moment, the phone he was holding also started to shake.

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy nervously hid on Zhao Baichuan's head. Even she, who was always very perceptive, noticed that something was wrong.

"Screw you!" After several unsuccessful attempts to control the phone, Zhao Baichuan's patience reached its limit. He threw the phone onto the bed and quickly moved away from it. He wanted to see what was causing this trouble.

"Whoosh!" As if sensing something, the talisman chased after the phone after it was thrown, circling around the head of the bed.

"Is it interested in what's on my phone?" After observing the situation for a while, Zhao Baichuan gradually saw some clues. He realized that something on his phone was attracting the talisman.

On a whim, he walked to the bedside, picked up his phone, and tapped on the mysterious sealing stone in his inventory.

With a "snap," the sealing stone that imprisoned the unknown creature fell out.

"Whoosh!" The talisman that had been hovering in the air rushed toward the sealing stone like a shark smelling blood, and then stuck it on with a "smack".

"Crash!" The sealing stone shook violently for a moment, then returned to normal.

……

"Phew! Finally done!" In the passenger seat of a taxi not far from Zhao Baichuan's house, a noble-looking woman breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware that her forehead was already covered in sweat.

"Oh, why bother! Here! Wipe it off!" Zhao Dahai, who was sitting next to her, handed her a tissue. "Thank you for your help with Xiao Chuan's matter!"

"Why haven't I seen you being this considerate before?" The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Zhao Dahai, took the tissue, and wiped the sweat from her face. "Xiao Chuan is also my son. What's there to be tired about!"

"Sigh, I didn't want to tell you, but I didn't expect that even Xiao Chuan would be dragged into this." Zhao Dahai sighed, his voice somewhat helpless.

"These things are all about luck. It can only be said that our child's destiny has not run out." The beautiful woman also sighed. "Fortunately, the thing inside that stone wasn't very strong. My current magic power can still protect it. If it were stronger, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything. What happens next depends on his fate. Those who can enter the sealing stone are no ordinary people. If Xiao Chuan can control it, it will definitely be a great help in the future!"
