When thinking about the method of transportation, Yan Jue suddenly remembered that Bifang's power was not too strong now. Just like Yong, it was described as causing a severe drought when it appeared, but in fact it could only affect the scope of a village, and its power was not that incredible. The same should be true for Bifang.
In other words, Bifang's attributes have a scope.
As long as the range was determined, the transportation problem would be solved. The question was, how could one determine it? Bifang wouldn't be willing to reveal it. He didn't have any power that could overwhelm Bifang and intimidate it into lying. Using a magic weapon from the mall? What if Bifang himself didn't know?
In fact, even the stingy Yan Jue took a satellite phone to call Pan Wencheng to discuss countermeasures with him.
Capturing a talking, intelligent monster was a major event. Pan Wencheng's mood had been a rollercoaster that day, from the spirit stone mine to the helicopter accident to the Bifang, tormenting him emotionally. After hearing Yan Jue's concerns, he had someone search the Tianchen Continent Mall for item information, hoping to see if there was anything they could do to help.
Of course, that's as long as it's not too expensive. They could just determine the range with a little experimentation, so there's no need to spend too many points. In the end, he actually found it—the Mantra Talisman.
The grade is not too high, but there is still a chance of three problems.
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment: "There is also this?"
There were too many things in the mall. Ever since joining the Special Management Bureau and having someone specifically record the merchandise inside, Yan Jue himself rarely looked at it. He would only look through it when he needed it.
Fortunately, I called Pan Wencheng in advance.
"Three thousand points per ticket. Just buy one and ask Bifang about its attributes. If there's an extra opportunity, feel free to ask." Pan Wencheng prepared for the worst: "If it doesn't know, we'll find another way."
Yan Jue didn't hang up the phone but put it on his lap. Then he bought the mantra talisman with the phone in one hand and tore open his coat with the other hand to reveal the Buddha bowl wrapped inside. He used his spiritual energy to activate the mantra talisman and stuffed it directly into the Buddha bowl.
The autistic Bifang squatting in the Buddha's bowl: What is that?
The restriction that Bifang could not break was like nothing in Yan Jue's hand. After the talisman paper entered the Buddha bowl unimpeded, it automatically floated to the body of Bifang, who was flying and jumping as if twitching, trying to avoid the talisman paper.
Yan Jue lifted the mute restriction, thought for a moment, and asked, "Bifang, how large is the range of the strange fire you can cause?"
Because of the Mantra Talisman, Bifang replied in a serious tone: "Wherever I am, there will be strange fire."
Yan Jue: "...What's the specific scope?"
Bifang: "How should I know?"
Yan Jue took a deep breath. If he couldn't answer the question, he changed it to another one: "...Besides being able to cause strange fires, what other methods of attack do you have?"
Bifang: "I have the fire attribute and can breathe fire."
"No more?"
After three chances to ask questions, Bifang fell silent. The next second, the talisman paper turned to ashes and scattered from its body. Having regained its freedom, Bifang angrily began to curse, calling them "despicable means and despicable human beings." Yan Jue, without blinking, silenced the voice in the Buddha's bowl, and the world fell silent.
Yan Jue picked up the satellite phone and said, "Bifang doesn't know either, so let's do the experiment ourselves."
Pan Wencheng, who had listened to the entire process, didn't hesitate and said swiftly, "Do you have a rangefinder? If not, I'll have one sent over for you to try. If you can't find the correct direction, I'll excuse you to wait on the mountain for a while."
"The people surveying the spirit stone mine have already left. They probably won't arrive until evening, and they'll help you then. If you can find it yourself, call me and I'll have the Guizhou Provincial Military Base send a helicopter to pick you up."
Yan Jue naturally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he went over to the pilot and explained in detail the unique features of the monster and the Special Management Bureau's recommendations. As soon as he finished, the pilot raised his hand and pulled out a portable handheld rangefinder from the helicopter. Now, the essential equipment was complete, and soon the four of them were busy. The first thing they had to test was whether the Bifang trapped in the Buddha's bowl still had any effect.
The test props were the glass fragments that caused the first fire. Yan Jue had wrapped them in paper and put them in his pocket. Now they came in handy.
Holding a piece of toilet paper in one hand and broken glass in the other, Yan Jue put the two together and held them up to the sun. The tissue paper immediately caught fire, and Yan Jue quickly put out the flames with his spiritual power.
"I knew it wouldn't be solved so easily..." Yan Jue rubbed the tissue ashes on his hands with a little regret.
"This inherent property is too unscientific. It can be ignited so easily." The driver sighed, "Even magic weapons can't block it."
“That’s understandable, actually.”
As soon as Bingge said this, Yan Jue and the other two turned their heads to look at him. Yan Jue asked with interest, "Why do you say that?"
Brother Bing swallowed and finished his words: "I'm just thinking, he's a monster, so his abilities rely on demonic force, right? This should be similar to spiritual energy, but his inherent attributes shouldn't be controlled by demonic force or spiritual energy, right? In this case, doesn't it make sense that magic weapons can't control his attributes?"
"As for inherent attributes, my understanding is that they were given to him by heaven or the laws of nature the moment he was born. No one can take them away, and of course, they can't be restricted by human magic." The soldier scratched his head, his desire to survive overwhelming, and added, "I'm not very clear, but that's roughly what I meant. It's just a thought, but it may not be correct."
"That makes sense." Yan Jue nodded in agreement. "Bifang himself doesn't even know the extent of his own attributes. I'm afraid he can't even control this thing."
Even if you ask Bifang about the inherent attributes, I believe the monster in question will be confused.
Yan Jue suddenly smiled, remembering something. They'd been using the term "attribute" to describe Bifang's abilities, and it sounded like they were discussing a game. If it were a game, what would it be called? Aura Resurrection Version of Earth Online?
After a brief discussion, the first test results were satisfactory, and they continued with the work at hand.
One soldier stayed where he was and guarded the Buddha bowl, another soldier followed Yan Jue to prevent him from missing the flame and causing harm due to his inability to react in time, and the driver followed them with a rangefinder.
Playing with fire while walking, he burned an entire pack of tissues, but the "strange fire" property was still in effect. Yan Jue had no choice but to pick up a handful of dead leaves and repeat the above steps. He still had two dead leaves left to light, and when he was about to find another one, he walked ten meters away and the leaves stopped burning.
After trying it several times within this range and confirming that it really would not ignite, Yan Jue and the other two returned in a good mood and continued testing in a different direction.
The final result was pleasing. Firstly, the Bifang's properties only took effect within a 20-meter diameter area, and secondly, within this area, the speed at which the strange fire ignited gradually slowed.
It has nothing to do with the material, the speed will really slow down, Yan Jue guaranteed while holding a dead leaf.
Three helicopters arrived.
A safe, metal mesh, elastic cords, and several large locks—all of this equipment was used to secure the Bifang Buddha bowl. For the helicopter's safety, Bifang had to be hung from the helicopter and hoisted back down using a rope. To prevent the item from getting lost along the way, multiple safety measures were necessary.
The Bifang was hoisted up first, and then the other two helicopters dared to approach and land to take Yan Jue and the two soldiers away. The pilot had to wait a while, and he could only leave after the people who towed the broken helicopter arrived.
Three helicopters, one for cargo, two for escort, and with the distance between them strictly controlled, returned to Beijing in such a grand and strange manner.
So, tonight's Weibo trending search was dominated by the topic #What's hanging from the helicopter#. There were all sorts of guesses, but no one got it right.
Those who didn't know the answer laughed and laughed, while those who did know were terrified. For example, Yan Jue didn't dare to relax the entire way, fearing a gust of wind would cause a crash or a fire or explosion below. But when he arrived in Jing City and saw five or six fire trucks parked outside the site where the monster was placed, he felt strangely calm.
The top of the venue is sealed, so the helicopter can only place Bifang outside the venue and transport it in manually.
The site was not isolated, and there were naturally other buildings on the periphery. Almost at the same time that Bifang was placed on the ground, a smell of burning fire came over.
Yan Jue didn't care about Bi Fang anymore. After the helicopter landed, he jumped out and rushed to the fire to rescue. The fire truck was there, but using spiritual energy to isolate the air was also very effective and quick to put out the fire.
Fortunately, everyone here knew that Bifang was coming, and they moved the important things in the buildings around the venue early on. They also checked several times for possible combinations that could cause a fire. In the end, only some short circuits occurred in the machines that could not be moved, and some unimportant things were burned.
"I don't know what to do next." Yan Jue muttered to himself, "I can't keep it locked up forever..."
"Little Lord!"
Yan Jue came back to his senses and looked up: "Director Pan?"
Pan Wencheng hurried over and saw Yan Jue not far away. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm and walked towards the door. "I just walked outside and heard that there was a fire here. Is everything okay?"
"It's been put out, it's not serious." Yan Jue replied as he walked over, "Director Pan, are you here to see Bifang?"
He thought Pan Wencheng was responsible for the Lingshi mine, but he didn't expect that he would have time to come and interrogate Bifang.
Pan Wencheng knew what he wanted to ask: "I've let Taotao take charge of the Lingshi Mine. Besides, it'll take some time to confirm the location there, so I came over to check on Bifang first."
If you don't know the wording, you might think it means visiting someone.
Yan Jue smiled and said, "Bifang has a bad temper. You have to be careful."
Pan Wencheng also laughed: "It doesn't matter if he's big. As the first intelligent demon to appear on Earth, I can tolerate him."
The two verified their identities at the door before being allowed in. Yan Jue's first feeling after entering was: it was so empty.
The place was large, and with little to show for it, it looked quite empty. Yan Jue even wondered if speaking inside would reverberate. After walking for a while, Yan Jue found a familiar demon in a large cage on one side.
"Huan?"
"Yes." Pan Wencheng nodded, "This is a temporary place for placing monsters."
Yan Jue walked over to Huan's cage and took a look.
The cage, made of fine steel, was affixed with reinforcing talismans to ensure that no matter how hard the monster scratched, it could not be damaged. The cage was padded and had a dedicated feeding area. Huan would nestle in one of the nests, resting with his eyes closed. When someone approached the cage, he would simply open his eyes for a moment, then close them again, bored.
The reinforcement talisman was given by Yan Jue, and he knew its use. What he didn't expect was that Huan was actually placed here. He thought he was imprisoned in the research institute.
"We tried many methods, but ultimately concluded that Huan had no intelligence and acted solely on instinct. The researchers kept its hair and a bit of flesh for research, then sent it away."
Pan Wencheng looked at the cat-like monster inside and said, "We actually thought about keeping it in a zoo-like environment instead of keeping it here, but it can dig holes, and even if we put a reinforcement talisman on the cage, it can escape underground. After we found it, we had no choice but to send it here to live first, and then send it there after the special residence is built."
This type of monster does not have any disaster attributes, so there is no need to kill them all, but they also have the risk of hurting people, so they must be kept under control and not released outside.
"Where will the new residence be arranged?"
"There's a piece of land fenced off above, and we plan to build it according to the specifications of a zoo."
Yan Jue was shocked: "Zoo? Could it be that they will open exhibitions in the future?"
Who came up with this idea?
Pan Wencheng cleared his throat. "That's just what I said. Monsters need to take care of their mental health, too. We can't keep them locked up here forever. They'd be uncomfortable without even the sun. Ordinary enclosures definitely won't work. If you don't take good care of them, they'll run away. So, we should just build separate enclosures based on their habits. That way, it'll be almost like a zoo."
Yan Jue: ...it actually makes sense.
"Let's go, let's go see Bifang." Pan Wencheng changed the subject: "There should be a lot of people here. If you're late, you won't be able to get a good spot and will only be able to see Bifang's butt."
