Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Skirmishers are arrogant, not stupid.

A truly foolish person cannot become an executive officer.

Therefore, Wang Que quickly realized that the scattered soldiers were probably fishing.

Thinking about it, Wang Que smiled: "Since this is fishing, I hope you don't get your line cut when you catch a prehistoric shark."

It’s a good opportunity to use Saburo Jingbian again to lure out the stragglers.

After confirming that it was still safe here, Wang Que rearranged the laboratory.

Ying and Paimon were stunned.

“It’s so complicated.”

Paimon sighed to himself.

It took Wang Que two full hours to put everything back in place.

Then he looked at Ying.

"Let's test your resistance to evil powers first."

Wang Que spoke.

At the same time, he took out a piece of dark purple crystallized bone marrow from the secret compartment of the laboratory table. The bright purple crystals looked very beautiful.

But its surface was covered with black mist visible to the naked eye, faintly emitting an uncomfortable and oppressive atmosphere.

This is the crystallized bone marrow he processed.

He can purify the crystallized bone marrow into evil spirit crystals, and naturally he can also extract the evil spirit power inside, leaving behind an even stronger resentment of the demon god.

However, this only activated the crystallized bone marrow of the demon's resentment, and was used to imitate the strong evil atmosphere in the Evil Eye Factory.

With a casual click, several runes emerged and formed a magic circle.

He placed the crystallized bone marrow in the center of the specially made magic circle, and then lightly tapped it with his fingertips to activate the formation.

Ying watched Wang Que's actions and didn't ask why. She just said, "What should I do?"

"Stand within the magic circle," Wang Que gestured. "I will gradually release the evil aura within. You must resist its erosion as much as possible. If you feel you can't bear it, tell me immediately."

Ying nodded and stepped into the range of the magic circle. Paimon floated nervously to the side, muttering softly, "Is everything going to be okay?"

Although he trusted Wang Que very much, Paimeng was still a little worried.

After all, the aura on the crystallized bone marrow is not a good thing at first glance.

Wang Que and Ying ignored Paimeng's concerns.

Because the test has already begun.

At first, the evil aura emanating from the magic circle was extremely weak, and Ying didn't even notice anything unusual.

But as Wang Que gradually increased the output of the magic circle, the black and purple mist began to surge like a tide, surrounding Ying's body.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers clenched unconsciously.

"How do you feel?" Que observed her reaction and asked.

"It's a bit... strange." Ying replied in a low voice, "These auras haven't invaded my body, but I seem to be able to 'hear' them."

"Hear?" Wang Que was stunned.

Ying didn't explain, but closed her eyes.

Her consciousness seemed to be drawn to some distant place, and vague whispers echoed in her ears, like the groans of countless creatures struggling in pain.

Those sounds did not come from the crystallized bone marrow, but from deeper within—like the wailing of the earth veins, or like some dead being calling out to her.

In an instant, Ying's face turned pale and her whole body swayed.

"Ying? What's wrong with you?" Paimon noticed that her expression was becoming increasingly strange, and he immediately wanted to fly forward.

But he was stopped by Wang Que.

Wang Que immediately closed the magic circle and cleared the purple-black mist, but Ying's condition did not improve immediately.

Her body trembled slightly, cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and her lips opened slightly, but no sound came out.

“Something’s wrong…”

Wang Que quickly stepped forward and supported her shaky body.

In the game, Ying basically falls down directly.

There will only be some confused vision, and no other manifestations.

But now, something is obviously wrong with Ying.

At this moment, Ying's eyes suddenly opened, a strange purple light flashed in her pupils, and then she completely lost consciousness and fell limply into Wang Que's arms.

Paimon panicked: "Ying! Wake up!"

Wang Que quickly checked Ying's condition and found that there was no sign of evil spirits invading her body. Instead, her spiritual perception was abnormally active, like a self-protective hibernation after excessive consumption.

The so-called spiritual perception is the perception ability of the soul.

People with strong psychic perception can even see ghosts.

At the same time, people with strong spiritual perception can also sense certain great existences.

For example, in Xumi, some scholars would use something called spiritual incense to enhance their spiritual perception, attempting to perceive the great world tree and thus gain knowledge.

After discovering that Ying’s spiritual perception is powerful.

Wang Que looked thoughtfully at the crystallized bone marrow and murmured, "So that's how it is... It's not that she can't resist the evil spirit, but her spiritual perception is too high, and she sensed some of the information carried by the evil spirit?"

The evil aura comes from the evil god.

The power of the evil spirit is the power left after the death of the big snake.

In other words, the evil aura can be traced back to the big snake.

However, for most people, this possibility is impossible to make big.

But Ying is different. As an adventer, her spiritual perception is so powerful that it is unimaginable.

Wang Que remembered that in the subsequent Xumi plot, Ying also sensed the World Tree easily.

It seems that the reason why Ying fell into a coma in the Evil Eye Factory was probably that he sensed something under the influence of the evil aura.

It could even be that the skirmishers had resorted to some means.

However, no matter what, the influence of evil spirits alone will definitely not bring Ying down.

After thinking about it.

Wang Que gently placed Ying aside and turned to Paimeng, saying, "Don't worry, she's just temporarily unconscious. The problem isn't the evil spirit, but rather that she 'senses' something she shouldn't."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, but was still confused. "Sense what?"

Wang Que shook his head: "Then I don't know, it should be something very bad."

As he spoke, Wang Que walked to the alchemy table on the side and started tinkering with it.

Paimeng looked at Ying on the ground, then looked at Wang Que, somewhat dissatisfied: "Wang Que, Ying is still unconscious, what are you doing?"

Without even turning his head, Wang Que said directly, "Being too sensitive isn't a good thing. Ying will suffer greatly because of it, so I'm going to get her a small prop."

He planned to make a talisman for Ying to suppress her spiritual perception.

Of course, there is also a little selfish motive.

He also wanted to see if some plot points would not be triggered if Ying's spiritual perception was suppressed?

In the plot, Ying was walking and suddenly she was startled. She sensed something with her spiritual sense, and then a lot of things happened that entered the plot.

Paimeng didn't know what Wang Que was thinking, and thought that he had misunderstood Wang Que. He felt a little embarrassed and didn't bother Wang Que anymore.

On the alchemy circle.

Wang Que gathered spiritual light at his fingertips and continued to carve a piece of jade, quickly outlining several complex runes on the surface of the jade.

If there were immortals here, they would be able to see that the runes carved by Wang Que were somewhat similar to the runes of the Sealing Series, and clearly had a suppressive effect.

As the last stroke was made, a soft glow appeared inside the jade, and a faint isolation barrier was formed as the runes flowed.

"Alright." He breathed a sigh of relief, holding the jade in his palm, feeling his spiritual perception being suppressed, and nodded in satisfaction.

He became more and more free in the use of talismans and runes.

At this moment, Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

Paimon immediately flew over: "Ying! You finally woke up! I was scared to death!"

Ying propped herself up and rubbed her temples, her consciousness still a little hazy: "How long...have I been unconscious?"

"Not long, but enough to make me worried." Wang Que walked over to her side and said, "I'm sorry, I was careless during this test and didn't take proper protective measures."

As he spoke, he handed over the blue-gray jade in his hand: "Take this, it can temporarily suppress your spiritual perception."

Ying took the jade and felt its warmth to the touch. The rune light inside made her feel a little cool, and the chaotic feeling in her mind also eased.

She looked up in confusion: "Is there something wrong with my spiritual perception?"

Wang Que explained, "Your spiritual perception is far stronger than that of ordinary people. You can even passively sense things that ordinary people cannot perceive—such as the 'information' left in evil auras, or the whispers of certain sealed beings.

The coma just now was due to your overactive spiritual senses, which passively absorbed too many things that should not be absorbed, causing your consciousness to be overloaded."

Ying was thoughtful: "So... those voices I heard were not hallucinations?"

She thought she was in a hallucination and that was why she fainted.

"No." Wang Que shook his head, "The evil aura within the crystallized bone marrow is like a 'recording,' and your spiritual perception accidentally 'played' it.

Normally, ordinary people or monks would simply be corrupted by the evil spirit, but you have heard the message it contains—which is even more dangerous."

Paimon floated nervously, "So, can this amulet solve the problem?"

"For now."

Wang Que nodded: "It can act like a suppressor, reducing the sensitivity of your spiritual perception and preventing you from passively receiving too much information. However..."

He looked at Ying and said seriously, "In the long run, you need to learn to actively control your spiritual perception, otherwise similar situations will happen again."

"If during battle, the enemy uses something that triggers spiritual perception, you will likely be pulled directly into spiritual perception."

"When the time comes, we will really be at the mercy of others."

Ying held the amulet tightly, feeling the peace it brought her, and nodded solemnly: "I understand, thank you."

She never knew that she had such a weakness.

But now that she knows it, she will definitely overcome it.

Otherwise, as Wang Que said, if it happened during the battle, he really wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Chapter 268: The Fox

When Wang Que and Ying were doing the test.

A secret letter was delivered to Kamisato Yashiki through secret channels.

"Fools? The Evil Eye?"

"Sure enough, they were involved."

After reading the letter, a cold light flashed in Kamisato Ayato's eyes.

As the head of the family who serves as the shrine's magistrate, it is impossible for him not to feel heartbroken as he watched Inazuma become what she is now.

But unfortunately, in the current Inazuma social environment, the power of the community has been greatly squeezed.

The Tianling Bugyo was in charge of military affairs, and as the war continued, the power of the Tianling Bugyo expanded.

The Kanjo Bugyo were in charge of commerce and shipping, and with the country's isolation, they made a fortune from the national crisis.

Only the community is responsible for the operation of society and sacrificial activities.

With the general demanding no change, the limits of their power are shrinking.

Not to mention my feelings for Inazuma.

It is the desire for power that makes Kamisato Ayato want to make changes.
