Fortunately, the situation with the pendant was not complicated, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
"It's okay, it's normal. It's just the aftereffects of using too much magic yesterday. Just don't use spells for the next few days."
He handed the pendant back to the girl and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Seeing that he didn't care at all, the girl immediately felt relieved.
But this is not the case.
According to Li Mo's investigation, the condition of the pendant seemed to be quite bad. If I must say, it was a bit similar to his current right eye.
It's understandable if you think about it. Yesterday, there was a violent explosion in that mirror space, and the evil god almost descended. The girl holding the pendant was even caught a glimpse of the evil god's embryo. If Aine and Yui's resilience had almost given up, and the spell [Mirror] was lifted, causing the mirror space to collapse and the divine fetus to escape back to reality, then the super explosion that Li Mo triggered through the compound spell [Phosphorus], which was enough to shake the space, would probably have caused a small mushroom cloud to shock Chiba, and might even cause Ptsd among some people in the island country...
These continuous impacts will definitely have some impact on the carrier of the spell [Mirror], that is, the pendant in the girl's hand. Not to mention that it is attached with an unfinished spell, even if it is a complete spell, it may not be able to withstand it. It is normal to have such cracks. It is fortunate that it is only "damaged" rather than directly "destroyed".
However, Li Mo's right eye is not really blind after all. It will recover sooner or later just like his hair which has begun to turn black. However, the pendant is not a living thing and does not have the ability to repair itself. Although Li Mo has some alchemical materials on hand, he knows nothing about alchemy. He can only wait until his true vision is restored and then see if there is any way to repair it.
I say this to the girl now just to stop her from worrying or blaming herself for the time being.
Li Mo looked at Aiyin, while the girl held the pendant and smiled adorably, like a big puppy, genuinely happy that the pendant was okay.
This made Li Mo unable to help but reach out and rub the girl's head like he was rubbing a dog's head.
"Um... why did Asakura-san touch my head?"
The girl looked at Li Mo with some confusion.
"Should I say I didn't realize it, or did I subconsciously feel that I should do this..."
"What kind of answer is that..."
The girl complained helplessly.
"Then consider it a compliment for your performance yesterday, Aine."
Li Mo said softly, as if he was lying to a child: "It's really amazing that you can persist to that extent. It's amazing~"
“Really, Aine, I won’t be happy with something like that that fools a child~”
The girl said this while showing her little fangs, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Isn't this very happy? Li Mo thought to himself, and his hands moved a little more gently.
It can be seen that Aiyin is the type who has a certain pursuit of fashion and trends. Among the people Li Mo knows, she is probably more similar to Yuigahama Yui. Therefore, she also pays great attention to the care and maintenance of her hair. It feels very soft and smooth to the touch, and it feels a bit like touching the inside of high-end fur...
After a while, probably because she was annoyed by Li Mo's touch, Chihaya Aine shook her head and escaped from Li Mo's clutches.
Li Mo withdrew his claws with a sense of loss and asked the girl: "There is nothing important to do in the Ministry of Magic today. Do you plan to go home directly or stay in the association hut for a while?"
"It feels like there's nothing to do going back so early, so I decided to go to the Society's Hut... Hey, when did I join the Ministry of Magic?"
The pink-haired girl tilted her head in confusion and began to recall when she signed the application to join the Ministry of Magic.
Li Mo smiled and greeted the girl who was still deep in thought, then went to the service department activity room with his schoolbag.
As soon as I entered the activity room, I heard Yanami yelling at Yuigahama Yui to hand over the address where she bought the cookies, but the latter avoided the topic and talked about irrelevant things.
"Asakura-san, you're too late!"
The blue-haired foodie girl held up a small plate that looked as clean as new and said regretfully, "The cookies are gone... This is a case!"
"No, no, no, it was simply eaten up, that's all!"
Yuigahama Yui complained.
"According to the typical development of a detective anime case, we should now provide three suspects for Detective Asakura-san to choose one..."
Yanami spoke with a heavy voice like a narrator, his throat pinched.
"The murderer is Yanami,"
Li Mo clapped his hands: "Okay, case closed."
"So fast?! That's too arbitrary... No, what evidence do you have..."
"Because it's that Yanami."
Li Mo said as a matter of course, and Yuigahama Yui beside him nodded hurriedly.
"Is my existence proof?!"
The girl was greatly shocked, as if she had learned some profound truth.
"Besides, the cookie crumbs at the corners of your mouth and the sweet buttery aroma on your body are already giving it away."
"...Humph, as expected of the famous detective Asakura-kun."
Seeing Kyoko slumped in the chair, Yana began to speak in a heavy tone, as if she had said something like, "I didn't want to do this either," after the criminal was identified: "Everything started when Yui took out that bag of cookies..."
"Skip."
"Don't jump!"
"Because it feels like the plot will be very long..."
Li Mo sat down in his seat and said with his hands spread out.
Then he suddenly noticed that Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been silent since a while ago, was frowning and looking at him with a strange look.
Chapter 315: Snake Flash Pattern.
Although Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have some questions, she did not ask directly. Instead, she waited until Yanami finished her snacks and left the activity room contentedly (Li Mo: What on earth is this guy doing here?) before looking at Li Mo again.
"No, if you have something to say, just say it. It's a bit scary to just stare at me silently..."
Li Mo couldn't help but put down his phone, looked up at the other party and complained.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked.
"Seeing things you shouldn't see,"
Li Mo said seriously: "I have a stye."
The girl's brows were slightly furrowed, and her delicate features seemed to be covered by a thin layer of frost.
The corners of her lips were gently pursed into a straight line, which did not seem too tense, but revealed a chill that was hard to ignore. Her slightly raised smooth chin and slightly straightened back silently conveyed her dissatisfaction with Li Mo's perfunctory words.
"Did you know? Besides providing a more intuitive sense of three-dimensionality, human binocular vision also helps us control distance. Since a while ago, you've been communicating with people from that angle. Whether it's Yanami-san or Yui handing you something, there's always a subtle error when you take it—the lack of vision in your right eye does affect your judgment of distance."
Her gaze fell on Li Mo's hollow right eye. Her voice was a little lower than usual. Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the page. Her tone remained as cold as usual, but a little less sharp: "This is just my objective advice as a bystander... If there is anything I can help you with, it's best to say it now. I don't always have the leisure to do so."
"Xiaoxue said she was worried about you."
Yuigahama Yui translated from the side.
Yukinoshita Yukino turned her face away, with a look of "I am not what I don't have" written all over her face.
"Don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with the time I went to see those patients with human-faced sores. It was just something that happened after that... Although I can't see in my right eye now, it's not permanent. It will recover in time."
Li Canmo said in a relaxed tone.
But it was obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino was not as easy to fool as Chihaya Aine. She stared at Li Mo's expression for a long time, then snorted lightly, sat back in her seat and started reading a book. It was unknown whether he believed it or not.
"Come to think of it, Kyouna just mentioned that you were writing something while Takuma-tan was in the classroom?"
Yuigahama Yui, as always, acted as the atmosphere, working hard to liven up the atmosphere: "What is it about? A novel?"
"It's a haiku. The dumpling rocks and rocks; it fumbles and falls; its smile is like the spring morning. Mogami River."
"...I don't know if this is a compliment or an insult, but that's very much Takumotan's style."
Yuigahama Yui puffed up her cheeks, trying to pretend to be angry, but when she saw Li Mo's serious expression, she couldn't help but let out a puff of air, and her cheeks suddenly deflated, letting out a cute giggle.
"I didn't realize you had this hobby."
Yukinoshita Yukino's expression was a little strange.
"Does Yukinoshita-san want Mogamigawa too?"
Li Mo asked with a smile.
"No need."
The girl immediately refused.
"All kidding aside, this is what I wrote."
Li Mo took out a piece of paper from his schoolbag.
Upon hearing this, Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously looked at the piece of paper.
It was an ordinary piece of paper, and judging from the rough edges, it must have been a page torn from a notebook.
The only difference was that the word "snake" was written all over the paper in ballpoint pen.
As the girls tried to concentrate on reading, they immediately felt as if every stroke of the text was wriggling, imbued with an unsettling vitality. Then, it began to twist and deform, as if breaking free from the paper and transforming into countless tiny snakes, slithering and crawling. Their scales shimmered with an eerie luster, and their eyes were like stars in the abyss, dark and deep.
As the gaze deepened, the edges of the paper began to blur, as if the boundary with the real world was collapsing.
The walls, floor, ceiling, and even their own bodies began to be eroded by snake-like lines.
Those snake characters were no longer confined to the paper, but spread to the entire space, as if some ancient curse was awakening.
The girls felt their consciousness being dragged into an endless vortex. Everything around them was turning into snakes, and even time and space became distorted and indescribable.
"Snapped!"
The sudden applause brought the two back to their senses. After a moment of silence, they realized that it was Li Mo who clapped his hands, waking them up from that state. They both showed expressions of lingering fear.
"What is this? Why does it feel so weird..."
Yuigahama Yui swallowed and looked at the paper carefully.
Yukinoshita Yukino put it more succinctly: "Evil way."
"It's just ordinary paper."
Li Mo folded the paper in half and casually stuffed it back into his schoolbag, which made the two of them frown. Is it really okay to just casually stuff something that can be used to make a horror movie into a schoolbag?
Perhaps noticing the expressions of the two people, Li Mo finally explained: "I'm really not lying. This is something I just tore out of my homework book. I just used a little special technique to write the words on it..."
[Flash Pattern] is a technique that transfers spells to other places in the form of patterns.
This is a spell application technology that Li Mo developed a long time ago. The most intuitive way to use it now is the three [Scale Flashing Marks] that he gave to Yukinoshita Yukino before - one was used to resist the malice of the human face sore in the hospital, but as a thank you gift from the girl for finding other patients with face sores for him, Li Mo added three [Scale Flashing Marks] for her.
Why was there only [Scale Flash Pattern] before? The answer is simple, because [Scale] combines best with [Flash Pattern] technology among the spells mastered by Li Mo, and has the highest success rate. For some reason, the success rates of [Snake] and [Candle] are much lower.
Li Mo guessed that it might be because the spell [Scale] itself is relatively stable, while [Snake] and [Candle] are spells that are positively correlated with life and represent the intention of burning out, respectively, and are not as stable as [Scale], so the success rate is so low.
The reason why it was only a guess and not confirmed was because Li Mo's magic power was limited before, and the more he used it, the less he had. So after failing several times, he temporarily gave up research in this area. After all, he really didn't have that much magic power to squander.
After repelling the Great Light Critias and obtaining the fourth authority 'Finite Infinity', Li Mo naturally put this research back on the agenda.
And the piece of paper covered with the word "snake" was one of the few successful [Snake Flash Pattern] creations he made after many experiments.
Chapter 316: The protagonist of this book has expanded his combat power to the point of exploding stars.
A single [Snake Flash Pattern] has almost no effect, but once the number increases, it subtly feels like an item from the Cthulhu mythology.
However, Li Mo hadn't figured out where this [Snake Flash Pattern] could be used. It couldn't be used to cause widespread mental pollution, could it? Considering that the San values of cultists were already low enough, this thing didn't seem to be very useful...
Perhaps because she thought this thing was really weird, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Li Mo's schoolbag with some fear. It was rare that she didn't pay too much attention to such a supernatural object. Instead, she asked: "What on earth did you do yesterday?"
Li Mo looked at Yuigahama Yui, who shook her head cutely, indicating that she had not revealed what happened yesterday.
"You know Chiba Port Tower, right?"
So Li Mo asked Yukinoshita Yukino.
"It seems there was a natural gas pipeline explosion over there, and the nearby roads are all blocked."
Yukino, who had been paying close attention to the news on TV, replied, "I saw a fire truck today on my way to school... It's great that there's water in the fire hydrant at Chiba Port Tower."
"I blew it up."
Li Mo said.
The girl looked at him, her pupils trembling.
"Let me confirm this for a moment. Are you kidding me?"
Yukinoshita Yukino calmed down for a moment and thought that based on Li Mo's usual behavior, he would not do such a thing. She thought he was probably just joking.
