Chapter 70 Ah? Me?
"Rune engraving?"
Jiang Changyi had no idea what runes were. He only knew that Zong Qiong was obsessed with studying them after the end of the world.
As for the Cloud-Cutter Blade, he just thought the pattern on the blade was very exquisite, but he didn't expect that it was actually a rune, and Obatias never mentioned it.
But this is normal, Obatias is just such a peculiar old tsundere.
"You don't know?" Zong Qiong's tone was very shocked, and... with a little bit of disgust, as if he felt that he was wasting such a gift.
"Where did you get this knife? The runes engraved on it are activated by mental power, which just happens to match your ability. If you summoned it, it must have cost a lot of magic crystals, right?"
Jiang Changyi didn't expect that Obatias was so attentive when making this knife. He thought that Obatias was ingenious enough to make this knife so exquisitely, but he didn't expect that he was so attentive.
He said awkwardly: "Uh, well..."
Jiang Changyi briefly told Zong Qiong about Obatias. The latter's expression became more and more terrifying as he listened, as if he was about to eat Jiang Changyi.
"You mean, he's a god-level martial arts master who can also engrave runes?!"
Zong Qiong held Jiang Changyi's arm tightly. The latter felt vaguely that there was telekinesis pressing on him. As long as he wanted to run, the telekinesis would hold him down and not let him go.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a powerful contract partner? Even though it's just a weapon-engraving rune, it still has extremely high research value!"
"Where is he? Summon him out quickly and let him assist me with my rune research."
The telekinesis in Jiang Changyi's body continued to surge, as if Zong Qiong would cut him into pieces if he said no.
In other words, Chu Yesheng is not here tonight because it is not his turn to keep watch today, so he went back to his original world. Otherwise, he could have stopped the crazy Zong Qiong.
"Of course."
How could Jiang Changyi dare to refuse? He agreed at the first sentence, and then said, "But, he has a very eccentric personality. I don't think he can get along well with you."
Seeing that Zong Qiong was about to lose his temper, Jiang Changyi quickly said, "But it's okay! I can ask for you, but if he refuses me, I can't do anything."
“…” Zong Qiong didn’t say anything, but his eyes expressed everything.
But after Jiang Changyi asked Obatias, the answer he got was indeed a rejection, no - it should be said that the answer he got was a cold snort.
After hearing this reply, Zong Qiong did not really go crazy, but just sighed.
Seeing him so depressed, Jiang Changyi comforted him, "I remember Chu Yesheng used something called a detonating talisman before. There seemed to be strange words written on it. Could it be the rune you want to study? How about when he comes back, I'll ask him to bring you some for research?"
"Yeah." Zong Qiong nodded, but he looked uninterested. "By the way, you should leave the base later to meet various spirit beasts, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much. After being nourished by spiritual energy, the animals of the native world tend to evolve in certain directions. Simply put, creatures of the same species tend to evolve in similar ways, so I hope you can carefully observe every spiritual beast you encounter and keep good records."
Jiang Changyi tilted his head and quickly understood what Zong Qiong meant: "You want me to make an illustrated guide?"
"You can understand it that way."
"no problem."
Anyway, spirit beasts are not as bloodthirsty as Warcraft, Zerg and other monsters. Jiang Changyi can communicate with them through mental links, so it is no problem to spend some time making an illustration.
After Jiang Changyi agreed, Zong Qiong left. His back looked particularly desolate. If the wind blew up two leaves, even the most sexy person would shed a few tears.
But there was no way around it. Obatias had a very bad temper. Although he occasionally showed some kindness to Jiang Changyi in a proud and arrogant manner, he was not so friendly to others.
The bird monster was dealt with, and it was time for Jiang Changyi to go back to sleep. There would be someone responsible for cleaning up afterwards.
…
After two days of checking the entire investigation list, the investigation team gathered together again and finally sorted out the clues and found that the common point of each missing person was that they were ordinary people and were trying their best to get the magic crystal.
Combining various clues, Hobik came to a very reasonable conclusion: "This suspect used magic crystals as a bargaining chip, promising that ordinary people could also become awakened."
Jiang Changyi followed up on this inference and added, "This suggests that he's in desperate need of magic crystals, or perhaps he hasn't joined the Guard Division or the Exploration Team, but is instead lurking in the base as an ordinary person, so he has no way of obtaining magic crystals."
Fu Yiting took out his notebook and said, "Based on the missing person's location analysis, he probably moved more frequently in the eastern part of the base."
"That's basically it." Hobik tapped the table with his finger, his tone somewhat eager. "How about fishing?"
The others looked at each other and saw the look of recognition in the others' eyes.
"Can."
"I have no objection."
“Indeed, this method is the most effective.”
However, the gazes of those police academy students were more tacit, and they looked directly at the same person.
Bai Bai: "...Me again?"
Hobik pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile. "I can't help it, Xiaobai. You look so cute, but you look like someone who's easy to bully."
Then he waved his hand and pointed at the others: "Look at us brothers, which one of us looks like he can give the suspect the courage to attack us?"
"This..." Bai Bai gave a bitter smile, "Okay, I'm also a professional in fishing bait anyway."
Jiang Changyi: "I remember he's not an Awakener yet, right? How about letting me do it? It's too dangerous to let an ordinary person come into contact with the suspect."
"Are you sure?" Hobik's face was filled with doubt. "Aren't you a celebrity in the base? So many people know you, how are you supposed to fish?"
When he brought them back to the base, Hobik saw clearly how Jiang Changyi was being treated like a star.
Jiang Changyi snapped his fingers, "You reminded me."
Then he pulled Zhimi out.
Zhimi: ...嘤?
In the mental link, Jiang Changyi said to Zhimi viciously, "You're quite good at changing your appearance, aren't you? You usually spend a lot of time changing your image to seduce me. With this ability, you're the perfect bait, especially since your illusions are so effective on humans."
What else can Zhimi do?
He could only nod in agreement.
