115: Chapter 115 The Supernatural Society
From the other party's confident tone, Chen Mo knew the stakes offered wouldn't be bad.
But he never expected that what was in front of him would be so precious!
[Item: Recipe for Primary Teleportation Ritual, ID: B299]
[Prepare the ritual using the materials given in the recipe above, then ignite the parchment, and you can freely choose the dungeon you wish to enter.]
An item the Dean used to enter dungeons?
Sure enough, when Chen Mo tried to open the parchment recipe, it displayed as a bound item.
"Just take this parchment; consider it an equivalent exchange."
"Once you help my friend clear the dungeon, I will lift the item binding, and you will have full control over it."
After speaking, the other party turned around, ready to leave.
"Wait! Since you have this kind of item, why don't you go in and help her yourself?" Chen Mo asked.
The other party turned around and smiled.
"Do you know about the butterfly effect? Sometimes, choices are more important than effort. At the same time, tens of thousands of rivers of fate are displayed before me."
"And my task... is to choose the best one!"
"Of course, what I choose must be beneficial to me."
"Rest assured, Mr. Chen Mo, the path I have chosen is also beneficial to you."
This time, before the words were finished.
The other party's palm grabbed the lower edge of the crystal mask and gradually lifted it.
Chen Mo saw an exquisite, petite chin and pink, tender lips, but just as the nose was about to be revealed...
With a "Bang!" sound.
It turned into countless black butterflies on the spot and disappeared.
On the roof of an office building 100 meters away from Chen Mo's shop.
Countless black butterflies gathered again, gradually transforming into her figure.
Jiang Xiaoyun took off the mask and shook her damp forehead.
Then she slapped her chest hard.
"Damn it! That scared the hell out of me! Scared me to death!"
"I feel like if we actually fought, I would be killed in seconds!"
"Fortunately, fate does not deceive me."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly; she took out her phone and sent a few messages to Xu Xiaoman.
[Jiyin: Little Silly, it's settled! He will definitely protect you well!]
[Slow-poke: Xiaoyun, but... without you there, I still feel scared, and you know, I don't dare to talk to strange boys.]
[Jiyin: Don't worry! Don't worry! That guy looks like the slow-witted type; he won't hurt you.]
[Slow-poke: Alright then, Xiaoyun, you have never failed before, I believe you!]
"Hmph."
Jiang Xiaoyun stood on the edge of the rooftop, stretching her arms toward the moonlight.
"Silly Xu Xiaoman, I have a principle when I do things: besides helping others, it's also to help myself."
"If I enter the Human Wax Museum with you, I will die."
"Only by letting him help you do I have a hope of survival."
Jiang Xiaoyun pressed her palm against her chest, and a blue light enveloped her entire body.
The black cloak disappeared, replaced by a security guard uniform.
She adjusted the security cap on her head, shoved her hands into her pockets, and sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... I'll have to take the stairs; Olivia's mask can only be used once a day."
"I really am a miserable person; I'll have to take a taxi home later!"
"Wuwuwu~"
Jiang Xiaoyun let her arms hang down, feeling completely drained of energy.
Arriving at the rooftop door, she found that the door leading downstairs was locked.
Jiang Xiaoyun looked around and confirmed there was no surveillance.
She took a silenced pistol out of her pocket and aimed at the chain.
"Chain, don't blame me. Who told you to go undercover? I'll miss you."
Her finger pulled the trigger, her eyes squinting slightly.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? What are you doing on the rooftop in the middle of the night? Go patrol the building!"
A security guard uncle behind her took out a flashlight, suddenly appearing behind Jiang Xiaoyun, pressing the flashlight against her back.
Jiang Xiaoyun quickly raised her arms high!
She said in a slightly sorrowful tone: "Give me a chance."
"How can I give you a chance?" The security guard uncle was full of confusion.
"I didn't have a choice before, but now... I just want to be a good person!"
"Fine! Go tell the captain and see if he lets you be a good person."
A purple flash bloomed in the night!
The security guard uncle only felt dizzy and instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
After waking up, he took a step forward.
He saw that the chain had split into two, and Jiang Xiaoyun had already disappeared.
Chen Mo put the parchment into his item inventory and set up three more layers of Threading the Needle around his house.
"She was talking about something related to fate earlier, and even pointed at the stars."
The only thing Chen Mo could think of was a profession similar to a fortune teller or an Astrologer.
And the other party's true identity wasn't hard to guess: Jiyin from the live broadcast room.
A suspense mystery novelist.
According to online research, this person is very mysterious. Only their pen name and works are known; there isn't a single photo of the real person, nor is there any gender indication.
They haven't held any book fairs or similar events either.
Regarding content outside of their works, there was only a 2D otaku avatar.
And a line of personal signature.
[Everything is fate, nothing is up to you. Joys are sparse, sorrows are sparse.]
In real life, perhaps only those closest to them would know their true identity.
After his brief contact with them just now, Chen Mo couldn't determine the other party's true gender, age, or other information.
It is very likely that this person called Jiyin used an item to specifically disguise themselves as a girl.
Perhaps their true identity is a middle-aged man.
However, their personality wasn't hard to discern.
This is an extremely narcissistic and confident person, perhaps even a bit chuunibyou.
"Phew... anyway, she doesn't pose any threat to me for now; let's get some sleep."
Chen Mo also discovered a new way to sleep.
Using Bob, who loves climbing walls, to sleep upside down on the ceiling like a bat, he actually fell asleep faster than in a coffin.
The next day, he gave the phantom cube to Su Qing.
Watching her sneakily take the cube and hide it under her desk to study it carefully.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to slip out and went to the club activity center.
"Sorry, I was a bit late because of something."
Chen Mo put on an out-of-breath expression, even though it had only been 5 minutes since he messaged Lu Chengfeng.
A normal person would need 3 minutes to sprint the whole way from the teaching building to the club activity center.
Seeing Chen Mo arrive, Lu Chengfeng immediately came up to meet him.
He also secretly showed Chen Mo the file folder tucked under his armpit.
"This is a classified document; I stole it at the risk of being fired. Of course, I didn't look at it beforehand."
Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but curl his lips.
He had already guessed that this Officer Lu in front of him was likely the son of some big shot.
Maybe the police chief?
You, an ordinary person, being able to get this kind of classified document? Yeah, right.
You wouldn't even be able to find the location of the file room.
Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng was relatively normal today and wasn't wearing a police uniform...
"We need to find a hidden place; we must not be caught by surveillance," Lu Chengfeng reminded.
"Don't worry! Follow me!"
As he spoke, Chen Mo pushed open the glass door in front of him.
Lu Chengfeng looked up and saw a line of clear, small characters written on the metal doorplate on the left.
[Paranormal Club]
"What if your club members suddenly come in?"
"This is unreliable."
"Quiet! Just follow me," Chen Mo interrupted him.
This place used to be the dance practice room for the Dance Club; it was spacious, but now it had been transformed into a gloomy style.
The two came to a giant bookshelf located on the far right of the space.
Lu Chengfeng looked closely and saw that the books placed inside were all very eerie.
Things like "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Minds of Billy Milligan", "Paper Doll", and so on.
He took out "Zodiac" from the very center.
Lu Chengfeng saw that there was actually a hidden layer inside.
And inside the hidden layer was a set of sliding puzzles.
After Chen Mo skillfully and quickly restored the puzzle.
"Beep beep!"
The bookshelf in front of them suddenly opened automatically to both sides, and a Secret Room hidden within the school appeared before Lu Chengfeng's eyes.
