Defeat magic with science

The sacrifice of the right protector was like a bolt from the blue to Zhou Yan and even the entire mech team.

This time, the beast horde invasion was quickly brought under control. There were no casualties in the mecha team. Except for the right guardian, everyone else was fine.

It's as if... the outbreak of the beast horde was just to take away the right guardian.

After Zhou Yan returned to the laboratory, he went straight to the experimental bench and took a look. The mice used for the experiment had already froze. Turning around, he saw Luo Futu still lying motionless on the recliner, feeling inexplicably in a bad mood.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and repeated this movement several times before walking to Luo Futu and sitting down slowly, then hesitated, and gently held his hand: "Use it to do The experimental mouse also fainted, it seems that the small thorns on the flower are the reason why you can't move."

There was no movement from Luo Futu's side at first, and then the other party's slightly startled voice came from his mind: "Did something happen to Mu Lian?"

——Oh, why did I forget... He can now talk to him directly through telepathy, which is similar to reading his mind, and he can directly see what he thinks.

Zhou Yan was very confused about how to tell Luo Futu the bad news. He wanted to talk about something less shocking first, but when he spoke, his mind was full of news about Mu Lian’s sacrifice. Luo Futu naturally read this level of news first. .

This is very difficult for Zhou Yan.

Its difficulty is like that of a mourner to the family of the deceased. Luo Futu usually behaved indifferently to his two protectors. He could tell that he actually cared about these two people.

However, Zhou Yan’s difficulty has an additional layer of "responsible person" factor in it compared to the mourner. Whether it is the Mech Team or Bai Yueqing, in a sense, he is the one who brought them into Mulian's life. Here, if they never appeared, nothing would happen to Mu Lian.

But it's okay... He is really not good at talking about such things, and now Luo Futu directly sees through him in this unprepared situation, and saves those excuses he wanted to make.

"Outside...the chaos outside has subsided."

"Mecha team, there are not many sacrifices."

"The scale of the beast tide this time is not large."

……

Zhou Yan said some news about Lu Li'an indiscriminately, but his mood was so complicated that he couldn't express it, and his expression was unprecedentedly chaotic.Luo Futu didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Yan subconsciously grasped his hand, stared at him for a long time, and then silently said a word: "I'm sorry..."

Yes, what he said is not the point, the only thing he wants to say is this sentence.

I am sorry.

But Zhou Yan also understood that his apology would not have any effect at all.

Luo Futu lay there quietly with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. If he hadn't initiated a brainwave conversation with Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan would not have heard what he said.Luo Futu usually didn't seem to care much about the two protectors on the left and right, but he was actually a very emotional person, he was just being stubborn.Up to now, Zhou Yan already knew him very well, but the more he knew, the more uncomfortable he became.

Zhou Yan really wanted to withdraw his hand, so that he would not hear Luo Futu's voice - no matter what kind of voice he heard, he would not feel good.

However, Zhou Yan is not a person who likes to escape after all. When encountering anything, his first choice is to face it.He clenched Luo Futu's hand tightly, not knowing if he wanted to comfort him, or to get some redemption for himself.

Luo Futu was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "I can't move now, and I can't hug you, so don't think about it."

Zhou Yan stared at Luo Futu's face for a long time, then lowered his body and hugged him.Zhou Yan lowered his head, put his forehead on his chest, passed his hand through Luo Futu's waist, and hugged him tightly: "I regret it... If you didn't go outside the barrier, you wouldn't be sealed for no reason, the beast When the tide comes, at least I can help them."

"Don't let you think about it, you still think, what is the connection between these two things."

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and was about to say something when he heard the laboratory door being pushed open. He looked over and saw Taki standing outside the door panting.He glanced at them and walked over slowly.

"Guardian Zuo, what's the matter?"

Long stood beside Zhou Yan, and then carefully took out a string of silver bells wrapped in gauze from his arms: "I only chase these things back."

Zhou Yan's heart tightened slightly - he had seen the string of bells, which Mu Lian usually wore on his feet.She was swallowed whole by Lu Lian, leaving nothing but the yarn of the dress.

He saw that Taki still wanted to say something, so he said, "Say what you have to say, he can hear it, but he can't move his body, I can hear what he said when I have physical contact with him, I'll be the interpreter for you. "

Taki looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously, and saw that he was holding Luo Futu's hand tightly. He no longer hesitated, looked at Luo Futu and said, "I used magic to make a barrier to protect this bell. You can try... to find her remnant soul on the bell."

It’s the second time Zhou Yan has heard the idea of ​​looking for remnant souls. The last time was when Gabriel died...Gabriel’s soul was not raised.

If he could, he didn't want it to happen a third time.

Zhou Yan looked down at Luo Futu, and his voice came from his mind: "Bring Mulian's fate card."

Zhou Yan hurriedly asked, "Where is the fate card?"

"Taki knows, let him fetch it."

Zhou Yan suddenly realized, and said to Taki: "Guardian Zuo, hurry up and find Mu Lian's fate card."

Taki nodded immediately, and left the laboratory.Zhou Yan frowned and looked at Luo Futu: "What is the fate card? I remember you said that the two black-robed men who broke into my house also had fate cards."

Luo Futu's voice became a little cheerful, as if he was happy that he remembered his own words: "En."

"what's the effect?"

"The life cards left in the school are to monitor the safety of the disciples of this school. The life cards I customized for them have the soul of Mu Lian attached to them."

After Luo Futu finished speaking, he paused: "Because both of them have signed a contract with me, it is much easier to find her soul than to find Gabriel's soul."

Zhou Yan could hear that when Luo Futu talked about Gabriel, his tone was a little subtle, as if he was afraid of bringing up his sadness.Strange to say, now that Luo Futu can't move, Zhou Yan feels that he is more connected with him.

Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, it's good to save one."

Taki was also in a hurry to save Mulian and came back, so he quickly fetched the life token. It was the first time Zhou Yan saw their life token. It was an amethyst-like brand, the size of a palm, and the thickness of an adult's palm. With the name of Mu Lian, the whole brand exudes a faint luster, as if full of vigorous vitality.

Looking at this sign, Zhou Yan suddenly had a feeling that... Maybe Mu Lian could really be rescued.

Luo Futu's voice came over: "I can't cast spells now, you can dictate and teach Taki how to operate."

Zhou Yan hurriedly responded, and conveyed Luo Futu's intentions to him, and Taki naturally agreed with him.

"The first step is... to find two potatoes."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Futu in surprise—after returning, Zhou Yan had already begun to promote the planting of high-yield crops, including potatoes, which were already quite common in the capital.

Taki has always obeyed Luo Futu's orders, regardless of whether his orders are right or wrong, he will follow them, so even if Zhou Yan said the word "Tudou", Taki quickly went to find two.

Watery.

Before Zhou Yan could figure out how to complain, he heard Luo Futu's voice resounding in his mind: "Peel this potato into a doll, and use it to release the soul of Mulian."

Zhou Yan paused, glanced at Taki, then looked back at Luo Futu, and asked softly, "Are you sure you want to use potatoes?"

——Actually, if he needs this kind of doll, he can use wood or iron sheet... Find a professional to make a more delicate one, why use potato peeling, Mu Lian loves beauty so much, she will definitely dislike it.

Luo Futu saw through Zhou Yan's thoughts, and gave a soft "hmm": "Although a carefully made doll will look good, but with dead things like wood and stone as raw materials, she can't grow up. Cut potatoes like potatoes into A creature that can grow up in the soil is suitable."

——It turned out that a question of vitality was considered.

Taki couldn't hear Luo Futu's voice, and seeing Zhou Yan was silent for a long time, he asked anxiously, "What did the spirit master say?"

Zhou Yan came back to his senses, looked at him and sighed: "Next, we will cut these two potatoes into human shapes, and make containers for Mu Lian's soul."

"..."

This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, because Zhou Yan and Long are not craftsmen, one can only use a scalpel, and the other can only use a machete knife. How can they peel potatoes into little people? ah!Luo Futu got impatient waiting at the side, so he babbled and complained: "It's still my ingenuity and proficiency in business, and you are too slow."

Luo. Craftsman. Futu sent a taunt.

"..." This person really deserves a beating.

Complaints are complaints, for Mu Lian's soul to have a place to live, both of them worked hard, and after a long time of effort, they finally came up with a decent potato man.

The next thing was for Taki to do it. Luo Futu taught him to recite mantras and draw talismans, followed by a large pool of blood, and it was finally done.The complexion of Taki, a strong and strong man, turned pale obviously.In the past, Zhou Yan probably couldn’t help complaining about this matter. Bloodletting and casting spells have no scientific basis, and they don’t understand why blood is endowed with so many magical effects in theology.But now he has learned to accept that the theological world is inherently unscientific.

They are summoning souls now.

Zhou Yan stared closely at the symbol painted in blood, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Not long after, the potato man who was placed in the center of the blood talisman suddenly moved, and then slowly sat up.Zhou Yan grasped Luo Futu's hand subconsciously, and whispered: "It moved..."

He had just finished speaking, and found that the hand he was holding was a little wet. Looking carefully, Luo Futu's head was covered with cold sweat—although he was still in a coma at this time, it was obvious that he was going through something very strenuous. .Zhou Yan hurriedly raised his sleeve to help him wipe his forehead: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, you go and see how it is."

Luo Futu's voice also sounded exhausted. It turned out that in this process, even though Taki was in charge of the operation, it was Luo Futu who actually cast the spell.

Before Zhou Yan could take a closer look, the little potato man who was lying on the ground stood up and yawned.

...It's very similar to Mulian.

Looking at Mu Lian's life card again, the amethyst's life card no longer has a ghostly aura, and it has become similar to an ordinary brand.

Zhou Yan had only heard of the myths and legends of using lotus roots instead of flesh before, but had never seen the use of potatoes instead of flesh. If Luo Futu also knew the story of Nezha making troubles in the sea, he would definitely have something in common with Master Taiyi.

Zhou Yan looked at Tudou, and then at Taki: "Is this... a success?"

Taki's expression was rarely agitated. He nodded his head slightly, looked at Luo Futu, and seemed to be asking for confirmation: "Spirit Lord..."

"If she can move freely on her own, it means that she has succeeded, and the next thing is to warm up her spirit body."

Zhou Yan said: "You can move, you can move, she was yawning just now."

While they were discussing, the potato man on the table suddenly said, "Huh? Where am I?"

Its voice was not the female voice they were familiar with, but its tone was very similar to that of Mu Lian. Taki immediately knelt down in front of the table and stared at the potato man: "Mu Lian, is that you?"

The potato man calmed down, and Zhou Yan also held his breath nervously, but for a long time, the potato didn't speak, and Zhou Yan couldn't help comforting: "Maybe she can't hear..."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Tudou sobbing: "Why are you dead?"

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile. He looked back at Luo Futu who was still lying there: "It seems that it really succeeded."

——It turns out that the life card is so easy to use, it is equivalent to the second life of the spiritual master, no wonder everyone wants to join the sect... If Gabriel had also made the life card back then, he wouldn't be still nurturing it now his soul.

Taki was more excited than Zhou Yan, grabbed the potato man, held her and shook her vigorously: "I'm not dead! You were rescued by the spirit master!"

"I can't see anything... Hey! Don't shake! I'm dizzy!"

"Crack."

At this moment, Zhou Yan heard a crisp "click", and Taki froze there, and Zhou Yan was also silent. He followed the sound and saw the Tudou Man, who was not very good-looking at all. Dropped an arm.

"..."

"..."

Taki really doesn't know the weight of this hand.

"What's the matter? Why don't you talk anymore, I can't see now, I can only hear a voice, it's scary to suddenly become quiet."

Only Mulian Tudou was at a loss and asked questions, as if she wanted to shake her arms, but she had just turned into Tudou, and she was completely incapable of controlling her limbs: "Why do you feel a little lighter, what happened?"

Taki hurriedly pressed that little arm on her: "It's nothing, it's nothing, you just woke up, you should take a rest."

But the potato was broken and couldn’t be put back at all. He tried several times without success, and was sweating profusely. Seeing him in such a mess, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but twitched the corners of his mouth and handed him a short needle.Long Ru was pardoned, and used the needle to nail Mu Lian's arm back.

... In short, she doesn't feel anything now, and it doesn't matter if she nails it back.

Luo Futu said: "In the next time, Long Wen will raise the soul refined by Mu, let him go back."

Zhou Yan conveyed Luo Futu's intentions to Taki in every detail, and the latter would naturally have no objections, so he carefully left with the potato man in his arms.After the two of them left the laboratory, Luo Futu let out a breath slowly, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You should care about me now."

Zhou Yan watched him lying there motionless, stared at him for a long time, couldn't help but bowed his head and leaned over to kiss Luo Futu's forehead.

Zhou Yan didn't speak, but Luo Futu felt that his breathing was very close, and asked anxiously, "What are you doing? You're not doing something strange while I can't move, are you?"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you think this is a strange thing, then I won't do it in the future."

Luo Futu reacted quickly, and immediately said: "How could you kiss me when I was unconscious? Didn't I suffer?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Hurry up and help me lift the seal, I want to kiss you back!"

Zhou Yan couldn't help rolling her eyes: "I think it's good for you to be a sleeping beauty quietly."

——To ask him for help and still be so confident, really deserves a beating.
