Chapter 17
I've heard that there's a contestant on "Survivor" who uses a talisman to stop zombies. Let's see what it looks like.
[Here we go, let's see the kid who's rumored to have killed dozens of people with a single video.]
Ah. The number of victims has increased again?
[Hahaha, so young, already fifteen?]
Shi Buxi: ...
[Fuck, there are more and more people, what's going on?]
[Ahhh, as expected of my little kid, so amazing! This talisman is actually useful on humans too.]
[I've drawn this before, and I'm fine. That was probably just a coincidence!]
[In just 24 hours, major hospitals across the empire uploaded reports of psychics being attacked by unknown forces and falling into comas. According to psychic experts, this type of power has never been seen before. And these people who were attacked by the unknown force were all drawing talismans before they fell into comas. Do you believe it's a coincidence?]
[No way, is this power so terrifying? ]
Shi Buxi remained silent, listening to everyone's conversation quietly. When he understood what was going on, he said, "Talismans are a medium for communication, and their methods of communication are different. If the power is insufficient or the heart is not sincere, there will be backlash."
So, who punished them?
Are there really ghosts and gods in this universe? Where do they live?
[Technology is so advanced, if there really were ghosts and gods, they would have discovered them long ago. They are just pretending to be ghosts.]
I heard that a group of experts from the Academy of Sciences, Medical School, and psychiatric experts will be heading to the hospital for a consultation tomorrow. We'll know what's going on then.
Ahhh, another day of doubting science.
[Hahaha, theology is resurrected, there really is a God living in this universe.]
"That's not the case. The talisman mobilizes the power of nature. Scientifically speaking, their injuries were caused by the collision of the magnetic force activated by the talisman with their own magnetic force." Shi Buyi paused and said, "Theology is superstition. Believe in science."
[Pfft, what the hell is this theological superstition? Haha, I support the kids and believe in science.]
[Haha, this one can indeed be explained by science]
[I seem to understand, but I also don’t seem to understand. Please explain.]
[Haha, the kid is my god from now on. I bet the kid probably has psychic powers, and this kind of psychic power has not yet been discovered.]
"Please tell the families, if you trust me, please give me their birth dates and birth dates, and I'll see if I can resolve the issue." Shi Buxi didn't say anything completely. First, there were thousands of years between them. Second, the main planet and Blue Star were separated by space. Even if he held a ceremony on Blue Star, he didn't know if the Shangqing Patriarch could reach the main planet.
What surprised Shi Buxi the most was that people with psychic powers could actually activate the power of talismans. Does this mean that modern psychic power has similarities with Taoist practice?
After Shi Buxi finished talking to the audience, he looked around again. When he didn't see any staff, he could only say to the camera, "Supervisor, could you please delete the part where I drew the talisman?"
The supervisor sat inside the aircraft, watching Shi Buxi's serious expression through the camera, but didn't reply. This matter had been completed two hours ago, and now the communications at the main planet headquarters were nearly overwhelmed. Most of them were curious about Shi Buxi and wanted to know his specific information. There were also quite a few powerful people who wanted Shi Buxi, especially the royal relatives. As for what they wanted Shi Buxi for, it might be related to the rumor about His Majesty.
The audience was still laughing, and Shi Buyi himself was also confused. However, as someone who had been in society for two hundred years, he could see the terrifying power of this. If it was obtained by someone with bad intentions, he was afraid...
The producer felt guilty for the first time and hesitated whether to give up the upcoming terrible traffic and remove Shi Buxi.
"Supervisor, we are on the hot search again. It says that Shi Buxi's talismans and those psychics who followed him to draw the talismans were all hired by us to gain traffic." The staff had been paying attention to the news on Star Network. They were amused and helpless when they saw many people scolding their program team for being unscrupulous.
"Issue a statement!" the supervisor replied. His gaze then fell on Shi Buyi, who was being presented with a reward from the contestants. A happy smile graced his face, and he looked innocent and naive, like a little white rabbit.
However, opportunities and dangers coexist, and he really doesn't want to give up the huge traffic from Shi Buxi.
"Thank you, thank you. You can always come to me if you need anything in the future." Shi Buyi held a bunch of bread in his arms, his eyes smiling into crescent shapes, "Aju!"
"Ah, go and dry your hair. We won't watch anymore."
[The production team said they won't treat you anymore, and it will be troublesome if you get sick.]
【Hmm, hmm, we won’t watch it anymore.】
Shi Buxi had been delayed in drying his hair because of the sudden incident of drawing a talisman, and then he put away the bread, completely forgetting that his head was cold. He quickly put the bread aside, closed the camera in the cabinet, and ran upstairs to dry his hair.
Audience: [We were locked in a small dark room.]
Shi Buyi only spent ten minutes rubbing her hair until it was dry. She then used a peach wood auspicious cloud hairpin to tie it into a round, small bun before going downstairs. She then discovered Feng Shen, Cheng Sina, Buck, Ning Lu, and Tian Lou sitting together. As they passed, Tian Lou gave Shi Buyi a timid glance, his eyes a bit evasive.
"They formed a team." Zong Ziyu replied when he saw his puzzled look.
Shi Buxi suddenly understood and nodded.
The heavy rain continued for two days, and surprisingly, no zombies or vampires appeared to disturb them. With nothing else to do, they began to research their next route. They discovered that from the center of the state capital, they would pass through a forest, then a city, and then cross the sea to enter Area 2. This would take about two weeks, but the sudden appearance of vampires and the unknown zombies made the journey time uncertain.
The number of people who had been unconscious from drawing talismans over the past two days had been counted, a total of fifty-six, none of whom had yet regained consciousness. The results of the consultation with experts in several fields were still pending. The family members hadn't contacted Shi Buxi, presumably because they didn't believe what he had said.
Shi Buxi felt a bit guilty, after all, those people might have fainted because of the talisman. However, because of this incident, Shi Buxi gained a lot of followers, and his live broadcast room now has about a million people online. Although it can't compare with stars like Zong Ziyu and Jian Xiaonan, it already ranks first among ordinary people.
On the morning of the fourth day, the heavy rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Everyone got up early, had breakfast and prepared to set off.
【Here they come, here they come, flying zombies. 】
It's a vampire.
[Whether it's a vampire or not, it's still unconfirmed! Who knows if it's an evolved zombie.]
【Ahhh, stop making noise, it’s coming. 】
Shi Buxi walked over to the vampire by the gate and found him a little restless. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to drink blood?"
The vampire rolled his eyes but didn't reply.
"I forgot I was pinning you down!" Shi Buyi said, reaching out to take it off.
"Wait," Ning Lu said coldly with a bad look on his face, "You still want to take this thing with you?"
It was fine before that they didn't travel together with Shi Buxi, but now it is obvious that they will set out together, and even take the same route. He doesn't want to stay with a zombie.
"Of course." Shi Buyi replied as a matter of course, looked at the vampire again, and stretched out his hand to remove the talisman.
Ning Lu looked at it and hurriedly got into Feng Shen's car.
Feng Shen took a look and said nothing. Instead, he said to Buck, "You and Ning Lu and Tian Lou should go in the same car!"
Buck nodded and thought it was okay. Now that the production team had clearly stated that they would no longer provide them with treatment, the team had to have a therapist.
“Ouch!”
As soon as Shi Buxi took off the talisman, the vampire suddenly attacked Shi Buxi. Before he could get close to him, he was fixed by a talisman in the posture of one-legged chicken.
[Pfft, hahaha, so funny! It's not the first day he's been targeted by kids. He's crazy, and he even dares to attack kids.]
"Ahhh, wasn't he very well behaved the past two days? This is weird!"
"Isn't Blue Planet deserted? Logically, you shouldn't have drunk blood in thousands of years, so why are you going crazy now?" Shi Buyi was puzzled. He had never actually come into contact with vampires, only knowing about them from literature and his master's teachings. Could it be that he had misjudged them?
[There is animal blood. After three thousand years, the ecology of Blue Planet has recovered very well, and there are many animals.]
[Ah, do vampires drink animal blood? ]
Shi Buyi shook his head. He didn't know either. But he could give it a try. "I haven't eaten meat in a long time."
Speaking of meat, I can't help swallowing.
[Hahaha, are you trying to steal meat from a vampire? ]
[Vampires drink blood, they eat flesh, nothing wrong with that]
"Xiao Xi, I'll leave two guns for you." Jian Xiaonan took out two guns from the car.
"Thank you! I don't know how to use it, you can keep it!" Shi Buxi turned around and said. In his memory, guns were very dangerous things.
"Alright!" Jian Xiaonan knew Shi Buxi's abilities, so she didn't force him. She turned around and gave Zong Ziyu three weapons. When they arrived at the armory, there weren't many weapons. Feng Shen and Lu Feng took the bulk, and she took six.
"Thanks," Zong Ziyu said with a smile. Although he was a multi-talented star, when Jian Xiaonan debuted as a musician, his focus was already on movies. They knew each other, nodding and greeting each other, but they weren't close friends. He hadn't expected this encounter to turn out to be quite the opposite.
"You're welcome." Jian Xiaonan said, and returned to the car. Then he looked at Shi Buxi who was still struggling with the vampire, and asked loudly, "Xiaoxi, shall we go?"
"You go first!" Shi Buxi replied. If he couldn't feed the vampire, he couldn't leave!
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Xiaoxi has something to do." Zong Ziyu said.
Shi Buxi nodded and waved goodbye to the two of them.
[Is there anyone in this era who doesn't know how to use a gun? ]
"You all know it?" Shi Buyi asked curiously.
[We can't own guns, but there are shooting clubs in every corner of the empire, and you can learn for free.]
[Yes, His Majesty said that wars are constantly occurring in the universe. Even if we don't serve in the military, all of us humans must possess basic military skills to prepare for wars that may break out at any time.]
[Hehe, with Your Majesty here, any alien intelligence that dares to move will be chopped down.]
Long live His Majesty.
When Shi Buxi first arrived, he was quite surprised. He thought the interstellar era would be a system of alliances and federations, but he had never expected it to be an empire. Looking back today, His Majesty seemed quite popular. He seemed to be a kind and compassionate grandfather who loved his people.
