Although puzzled, Bao Yue didn't press for details, but instead revealed her hand.
Since they're going to volunteer for the mission, they naturally have to reveal their hand to reassure potential allies.
Ke Baoyue had no idea that her secret would be revealed, which would completely win Zhong Li's heart and lead him to be lured onto the pirate ship.
"This is my confidence. Big brother, you can check it with your spiritual power and you'll see."
As Baoyue mentioned having a late-night snack, she opened her purple overcoat, took out an empty purple pouch, and carefully handed it to him.
Two small hands gripped the empty bag tightly, allowing Zhongli to examine it only with his spiritual power.
They treasured it as if afraid the empty bag would be stolen.
That's normal, considering what's inside the empty bag is Baoyue's last resort.
If she were really taken away, she'd probably cry for a month... not a year.
Seeing how careful Bao Yue was with her late-night snack, Zhong Li's curiosity was piqued.
He reached into the empty pocket of the bag and probed it with spiritual energy.
Upon inspection, Zhongli's eyes widened in surprise.
There are nearly a thousand [model dolls].
As for what a gendai doll is?
Do you remember the [Amulet] that Zhongli redeemed for the second time?
At that time, Zhong Li hesitated for a while between exchanging the [Model Doll] and the [Amulet].
Both have the function of warding off disasters and protecting the master, but their functions are slightly different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
[Amulet] Blocks one fatal attack from any attack.
[Symbol Doll] A tiny object (like a hair or fingernail) can be placed inside the doll. The spirit bound within can withstand any spiritual attack in the doll's place until the spirit dies. However, it is ineffective against physical attacks (such as cuts, blows, and punches).
In addition, the supernatural entities within the dolls can be released to participate in battles, but there is a risk of them going out of control and causing backlash.
It was precisely because the protection provided by the [Model Doll] was not comprehensive that Zhongli chose the [Amulet].
However, this does not mean that the [Shape Doll] is ineffective; in fact, it can be said to be incredibly powerful.
It's just that choosing a talisman is safer.
Therefore, when Zhongli saw Baoyue's empty bag, he found nearly a thousand figurines.
Everyone was stunned.
With this number of dolls, what supernatural ability could possibly be found in the Dead Moon Night Snack?
Unless Bao Yue is foolish enough to get into close combat with a person or a supernatural being.
No wonder Bao Yue Ye Xiao had the confidence to deal with the false god.
After all, with nearly a thousand lives at stake, the chances of trial and error and tolerance for mistakes are quite high.
They can wear down even a false god to death.
As Zhongli examined the empty bag, still marveling at the number of dolls inside, a look of desire unconsciously crept onto his face.
Baoyue had carefully put away the empty bag.
He looked at Zhongli as if he were a thief.
Seeing this, Zhongli coughed lightly and composed himself.
"Ahem, I've suddenly become very interested in false gods."
So I accepted the task of exterminating the false god.
I couldn't bear to see a little girl face such a terrifying being as a false god.
Seeing Zhongli suddenly become righteous and indignant, Baoyue secretly curled her lip.
Are you interested in false gods?
They're probably just interested in her past.
Thus, Bao Yue Ye Xiao and Zhong Li formed a collusion, no, an alliance.
……
PS: The Baoyue sisters joined the company early on, so their abilities will differ from the original story and they will become more powerful.
After all, the company has everything and lacks nothing, while the two sisters in the original story had to work hard on their own.
Chapter 40 An Attempt to Invite, The Supernatural - The Self-Slaying Child.
The woods in the nature park at night.
Zhongli, Xiaoniao You Shihua, Baoyue Yexiao, and Baoyue Yongzi, the four of them, walked together into the depths of the park.
As they walked, Bao Yue took out two bear-shaped dolls from her empty pocket.
They were handed to Zhongli and Xiaoniao You Shihua respectively.
"Brother Zhongli, Sister Shihua, these two dolls are for your self-defense. Just drip some blood or pluck a hair into the dolls."
I've been watching the paranormal activity in this park for a long time; its attack methods are very unique.
They can behead someone from a distance; you could easily lose your head if you're not careful.
Upon hearing the word "beheading," Takanashi Touka felt a chill run down her spine and unconsciously touched it.
"This is terrifying. They can actually cut someone's neck from a distance."
It feels even more terrifying than a death hearse.
Zhongli took the two bear-shaped dolls, looked at them, and then gave them both to Takanashi Touka.
"Shihua, you can use these two."
After all, the weakest one here is Takanashi Juka.
Of course, more guarantees should be provided.
As for why Zhongli took the little bird to the Ten Flowers Pavilion?
Of course, it's to make it easier to cast the spiritual technique, "Words of Infinite Deception".
Zhongli discovered that Yan Ye's Infinite Deception was extremely difficult to execute when facing mindless supernatural beings alone.
Because when you talk to the supernatural, they ignore you completely, each talking their own thing, all they can say is "kill, kill, kill."
Neither affirming nor denying, it's like playing the lute to a cow.
It only works if you encounter a highly intelligent spirit that can communicate freely.
Takanashi Toka sees that all the dolls are given to her and she wants to refuse.
“Zhongli Jun, I…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhongli forcefully shoved it into his hand, offering a reminder as well.
"Ten Flower, don't forget why I brought you here."
Upon hearing this, Touka Takanashi remembered her earlier instructions and no longer refused.
He secretly hugged the doll in his hand, determined to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Bao Yue, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment and then took out a doll for Zhong Li.
"Here's one more, that's all I can give you."
Otherwise I'll have to charge you.
Zhongli was quite surprised to see Baoyue being so generous with her late-night snacks.
He took the doll and reached out to pat Baoyue's head.
"Thanks, little midnight snack."
As she spoke, Zhongli tentatively extended an invitation.
"Are you interested in following me and becoming my little sister?"
I can make you stronger quickly.
"No, I sense you have ill intentions and are coveting my treasure."
Faced with Zhongli's probing, Baoyue shook her head and refused, even shaking off the hand on her head.
Zhong Li was not surprised to be rejected.
After all, Baoyue Night Snacks is not a newly awakened, inexperienced newbie; it has a substantial financial background.
It's not something that can be done in just a few words.
"Hehe, don't say that."
I have plenty of good stuff too, like the ability to modify your spiritual energy circulation system.
It allows you to constantly practice and become stronger at an incredibly fast pace.
They can also help you cultivate step by step, allowing you to break through to the intermediate level of a spiritual master in just one day.
And you know what? It only took me less than three days to break through from the lower level to the intermediate level.
You can ask the company about that; they didn't lie.
To get some late-night snacks from Baoyue, this was the first time Zhongli had ever been so earnest in persuading this little girl.
There's no way around it, those nearly a thousand figurines are just too tempting.
Especially since Baoyue is the producer of these late-night snacks, they taste even better.
Hearing Zhongli offer such exaggerated and outrageous perks, Baoyue Night Snack was indeed tempted.
But there was more skepticism. It was simply unbelievable that someone could rise from a lower-level to an intermediate-level position in less than three days.
It sounds like bragging.
It's important to know that Baoyue Night Snack joined the company and gained a lot of resources by constantly completing tasks.
It took him nearly a year to reach the lower level peak and break through.
Now tell Baoyue that she can break through in less than three days.
How could she not be suspicious, how could she not think it was just bragging?
So now, Bao Yue was having a late-night snack, looking at Zhong Li with a face full of suspicion.
“Brother Zhongli, bragging is a bad habit, you need to change it.”
"Haha, it's normal if you don't believe me. Just go back to the company and ask."
Seeing Bao Yue's suspicion, Zhong Li took the opportunity to pat her head and said with a smile.
He could tell that Baoyue was interested in the late-night snack, but she just didn't believe it yet. He would just have to wait until she got back to verify it.
Bao Yue had gotten used to Zhong Li's habit of patting her head and hadn't shaken him off.
Instead, she wondered if Zhongli's silence was true, should she call the other party "little sister"?
As they pondered, the group gradually ventured deeper into the woods.
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
[Ding, a supernatural quest has been triggered: Eliminate the Intermediate Supernatural Being - The Self-Slaying Child.]
Upon hearing the warning sound, Zhong Li immediately became alert and stopped, observing his surroundings.
Takanashi Touka followed beside him, clutching two teddy bears, nervously looking around.
Baoyue was deep in thought when she had a late-night snack.
Zhongli suddenly stopped, felt the hand on her head detach, and looked up at him in confusion.
Baoyue Yongzi, who was standing to the side, also paused for a moment, but she had a strange smile on her face that was inexplicably creepy.
A strange smile?
With just one glance, Zhongli knew that Baoyue Yongzi had been switched.
After all, who would smile while exorcising a dangerous supernatural entity?
Shouldn't you look tense or serious?
