Li Shu nodded. As long as it didn't affect her schedule, it was fine. Li Shu then asked another question: "Still no news on the spooky bride and the spooky tomb? Your ingenuity is so poor! There are holes everywhere, and you can't even find anything strange." At the end, Li Shu couldn't help but express his disdain. Quan Chen felt ashamed. He had originally thought that thanks to everyone's efforts, the strange incidents had been effectively controlled, but he hadn't expected it to be just a false impression, a deception created by the spooky obscuring the secrets of heaven. The gathering evil formation, the strange freezer incident, and Gu Changjun and Gu Yingxiong... Quan Chen carefully reviewed the events he had encountered recently, his heart growing heavier. If it weren't for the master, these events would probably have remained hidden, and they might not have noticed until the explosion. Even if the master hadn't intervened in time, the best outcome of the train station incident would be that no one who entered survived, but the most likely outcome was that the spooky bride and the spooky tomb would join forces to devour everyone at the train station and continue to expand outward... The consequences of that were unimaginable. For the first time, Quan Chen felt a sense of helplessness, not knowing where to start. The strange tactics were impossible to prevent, and they had been on the defensive. What would happen if they couldn't defend themselves? Would a major strange outbreak occur? A month ago, Quan Chen wouldn't have entertained such a thought. Back then, everyone, including him, believed that while the strangeness couldn't be eradicated, it was under effective control and wouldn't cause much harm. Some optimists even believed that since they could effectively control its spread, they would eventually be able to eradicate it completely. But the truth? Their so-called safety net was riddled with holes. "Your mental state is a bit weak." Li Shu glanced back, noticing something off in Quan Chen's expression, and he tutted. Quan Chen shuddered, his pupils shrinking slightly, as if waking from a dream. How could he possibly have such a thought? Li Shu glared at Quan Chen. "You've been tricked, haven't you?" A figure like Quan Chen, let out a few incidents, wouldn't be as calm as a steel plate. Or had something happened that had seriously affected him? Quan Chen's heart trembled, a startled awakening. That thought was certainly unlike his own. Could it be that he had been unwittingly tricked, his mind affected? But... Quan Chen carefully reviewed recent events and found nothing amiss. "Master, I'd like to buy some talismans for meditation?" Quan Chen looked at Li Shu. Li Shu had been observing Quan Chen, but couldn't see anything, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll draw you a few later. Just transfer the money." Quan Chen nodded, understanding. Li Shu showed him around again, thinking about making a few more talismans specifically for Quan Chen. He no longer had the urge to wander around, so he decided to send him away and get some sleep for his evening livestream. But then he saw Xiao Hei circling Quan Chen. Quan Chen looked at the cute little creature at his feet and wanted to touch it. Unexpectedly, as he reached out his hand, Xiao Hei suddenly erupted, baring his teeth and breathing at him. Quan Chen was startled. Li Shu had already made his move. A blood-red, sinister rope silently appeared, entwining the powerful official like a snake. The official dodged and tried to evade. But he was quick, and Li Shu was even quicker, slapping a talisman against the official. The official froze in place. Li Shu's hands continued to move, slapping another talisman against the official. Simultaneously, a divine spear materialized in his hand, and with a flip of his palm, he pinned the official's shadow.
