There were just enough seats for three people in the front of the truck: Fu Yu was driving, Li Xuanzu was in the middle, and Qian Li was by the window.
"Have you ever heard of the supernatural?" Li Xuanzu suddenly asked.
Qian Li didn't say anything, but Fu Yu reacted quite strongly.
"I've heard of it. It's terrifying. There was a strange creature that did something in Kyoto before, and everyone in Kyoto had nightmares for a long time. Many people couldn't wake up from them."
"If it weren't for Master Chunyang's extraordinary abilities in subduing him, countless people in the capital would have died from nightmares they couldn't wake up from." Fu Yu's eyes were full of admiration as she spoke.
Master Chunyang, whose Taoist name is Chunyangzi and whose secular name has not been disclosed, is a third-level exorcist and the president of the Taoist Association. He is currently stationed in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom and specializes in resolving strange events in the capital.
Yes, third order.
However, the strength of exorcists cannot be compared with that of psionicists. Their strength improvement is simple; they only need to continuously absorb supernatural phenomena to become stronger.
The strange turning point in their strength doesn't occur at the third tier. According to Leng An, they undergo a transformation when they advance to the fifth tier.
Leng An had basically never dealt with the supernatural in her previous life, so she was unaware of it.
When a zombie reaches the fifth tier, it will undergo a tremendous qualitative change, no less than the difference between the second and third tiers.
That's why the Weirdos haven't caused anything major so far.
Currently, humanity is not afraid in this regard; it's just that the psionicists lack sufficient combat power.
A third-tier exorcist is slightly stronger than a typical second-tier psychic, but certainly not as strong as a third-tier zombie.
That's about the combat strength of the Ruilin Squad members, in terms of dealing with zombies.
In the Dragon Kingdom, there is also a third-tier exorcist, the president of the Dragon Kingdom Buddhist Association, Master Tianyan.
However, this person rarely appears in public, like a dragon whose head is seen but whose tail is never seen.
... ...
"By the way, Li Xuanzu, why are you asking this?" Fu Yu asked curiously, wondering why Li Xuanzu was suddenly asking such a strange question.
"It's nothing. The new member I was talking about is just weird." Li Xuanzu's words stunned the two of them.
"Oh, it's still a third-tier anomaly, it should be third-tier, right?" Li Xuanzu dropped another bombshell.
Li Xuanzu looked at a corner ahead, then at the dazed Fu Yu, and gave Fu Yu a solid whack on the back of the head.
"What are you standing there for? You're driving, so watch the road."
"Ouch, oh dear." Fu Yu realized what was happening and quickly turned around.
Fortunately, Li Xuanzu warned him early, and Fu Yu's driving skills were not unfamiliar, so he got through the bend without any major incident.
"Brother, you never told me this." Qian Li's tone was somewhat resentful, and also revealed a hint of fear.
The little girl had been attacked by a strange creature before, so it's understandable that she would have some lingering trauma.
"Sorry, this guy has a low profile, and he's been quite busy these past few days. I promise I won't hide anything from you that you need to know." Li Xuanzu patted Qian Li's head apologetically.
Qian Li felt much more at ease and did not resist Li Xuanzu's pat on the head.
"Tch, biased." Fu Yu muttered a few times as she drove, glancing at the two people next to her.
His tone was somewhat sour, and he practically had his resentment written all over his face.
"How old are you? Why are you arguing with a child?" Li Xuanzu didn't have much patience for Fu Yu anymore.
"Ah, right, I was being stingy. You're the boss, so everything you say is right," Fu Yu said sarcastically.
"Alright, alright, you've been nagging me endlessly while I'm just asking you to drive. Wait until the rest of the new members wake up before you let them drive." Li Xuanzu said helplessly. This woman was good in every way, except for her excessive talking.
Li Xuanzu didn't dislike this type of person; on the contrary, having such a lively character on the trip would bring a lot of fun.
"Then... wait a minute? You're letting a weirdo drive? Are you still asleep or am I still asleep?" Fu Yu readily agreed, but then realized something was off about her words.
At first, she thought that the strange creature was just a ghost slave or spirit of Li Xuanzu.
Even the demon slaves and spirits of the third-tier demon exorcists do not possess any intelligence; they are merely tools.
"What's the problem? I'm planning to have you teach it to cook. Don't worry, it's... quite cute." Li Xuanzu comforted Fu Yu and shared his impression of Dahei.
Isn't it cute?
Thinking of that talkative but rather silly dark figure, Li Xuanzu missed it a little.
"I...are you sure it won't use me as food?" Fu Yu's worldview was crumbling. What was all this nonsense?
Li Xuanzu could only say that this was an overreaction.
If only we could let her see Leung Lok-Chan again.
Forget it, no normal person could handle that kind of scene.
