Chapter 1022 1030 [Strange Skills Added]
Jiang Xia couldn't help but flap his wings and float around the room, experiencing the magical feeling of weightlessness.
However, after just a few laps, he suddenly felt empty behind him. His wings disappeared, and Ke Xue's buoyancy disappeared immediately. Jiang Xia felt his body become heavy and fell back to the ground - the time limit for that puff of cigarette had expired.
In a very short time, the wings turned back into puppet clay, and then transformed into a Shikigami, returning to Jiang Xia's print space.
"..." Jiang Xia stood on the ground, feeling the empty back. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the bedside table.
There was an ashtray with a burnt cigarette in it.
——After Jiang Xia was choked by this "feather-flavored cigarette", he pushed it into the ashtray.
He originally planned to put out the cigarette, but it seemed that he failed - because after Jiang Xia remembered, Matsuda Jinpei also curiously inhaled the smoke and gained a pair of wings.
After that, Jiang Xia pinched the cigarette again, but still couldn't put it out.
——It seems like a cigarette that, once lit, will continue to burn until it burns out.
…
However, although it has been burning quietly, the smoke that can make people grow wings has not been wasted.
Jiang Xia moved closer to the ashtray and took a closer look.
At this moment, above the gradually cooling ash, a ball of white mist the size of a head appeared.
The fog did not dissipate, but gathered quietly into a ball, occasionally trembling slightly with the wind in the air.
"…Although I've never seen it before. But I always feel that this kind of thing can be collected into the pattern space." Jiang Xia muttered to himself, while tentatively reaching out his hand, touching the mist, and throwing it into the pattern space in the same way he usually absorbed the murderous aura.
The mist disappeared from his hand in an instant.
When it reappeared in Jiang Xia's perception, it was already quietly staying in the imprint space - it could indeed be preserved in this way.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, and he took out the white mist again and held it in his hand.
…
The saving method has been figured out.
As for how to use it...it doesn't seem difficult to guess.
Jiang Xia exerted force and pulled a wisp of smoke off the smoke.
It just so happened that Miyano Akemi was the closest to her, so Jiang Xia handed the wisp of white mist to her.
"......?" Miyano Akemi was startled, she reached out to take the mist and held it in her arms.
She looked down at it for a moment, then leaned in and took a sip, just like she usually did when she smoked a lit mint.
Crash——
Two shikigami flew out from the printed space, and landed behind Miyano Akemi, just like when they were spliced onto Matsuda Jinpei's back just now, and condensed into a pair of small wings.
Miyano Akemi turned her head curiously, looking at the strange organ. The mermaid and spider lady also approached curiously, reaching out to touch her new wings, and then grabbed the mist dog to pull it, comparing the feel of the two.
Mist Tengu tried to slip away but was caught again, and the ghosts soon rolled into a mess.
…
Jiang Xia put away the white mist, glanced at the pair of wings on Matsuda Jinpei's back that were disappearing, and estimated the possible time when the wings would take effect.
——The white mist just now was more condensed than the puff of smoke that Jiang Xia had just inhaled.
By this calculation, the effect of a cigarette can last about twenty minutes on humans.
Jiang Xia put away the mist, feeling quite satisfied. This strange new function was quite interesting - although if you wanted to fly, you could summon the Mist Tengu to do the hard work, but flying by yourself and being carried by someone were obviously very different feelings.
Jiang Xia recalled the magical feeling of having grown wings just now.
He looked at the cigarette box in his hand, then looked at Noah, who had accidentally turned the murderous aura into magical white mist, and seemed to be thinking about something.
…
A minute or two later, Noah, who had been rubbed, woke up slowly.
It had just sat up weakly when it was startled and found Jiang Xia was staring at it quietly.
"I only squeezed out half of it just now, and the other half of the white mist is still in your body." The psychic master showed him a considerate smile, then stretched out his claws, "You can't go on like this - come, I'll help you get the rest out."
Noah: “!!”
It instinctively turned its head and flew away from Jiangxia.
But after it had flicked twice, Jiang Xia grabbed the short tail behind it and dragged it back.
…
…
"With the white mist that came later, there's only enough for four cigarettes. I've already used one..."
Jiang Xia played with the only three cigarettes left in his hand.
Although the incident happened suddenly, he still remembered the steps of "summoning wings" just now.
——After lighting the smoke mixed with "white mist", the nearest Mist Tengu was suddenly sucked over and hit the smoke. After that, the smoke turned into magical wing smoke that "grows wings when you inhale it".
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at the ghosts surrounding the bed.
When the ghosts were stared at by him, they remembered Noah's miserable condition just now and instinctively retreated, from a small circle to a large, sparse circle.
Jiang Xia looked at them hesitantly: "..."
Mist Tengu hit the new cigarette, and the cigarette began to grow wings.
By analogy, it is not difficult to guess what changes will occur to the mermaid, Miss Spider and the cat when they encounter smoke - they will just gain some more of their own characteristics and have corresponding abilities, becoming good at swimming or climbing walls.
but……
What if it is a ghost in human form?
And among the humanoids, there are males and females...
Jiang Xia looked at Miyano Akemi, then at Matsuda Jinpei, Xiaobai, and the ghosts of the parents who were stuck together...trying to superimpose various elements together, strange images gradually appeared in his mind.
Jiang Xia: “…” I always feel like I can’t add anything useful.
but……
"Curiosity" and "pursuit of practicality" made Jiang Xia briefly conflicted.
After being silent for an unknown number of seconds, he suddenly took a deep breath, took out one of the three remaining cigarettes, and his eyes fell on several humanoid ghosts.
Anyway, there are still three left, so why not give it a try - who knows if you can gamble out some surprising magical changes.
Miyano Akemi, Xiaobai, Matsuda Jinpei, and the parents ghost: "..."
"Come here." Jiang Xia stretched out his hand on the quilt and pulled all the ghosts who wanted to escape back to him, "You guys play rock-paper-scissors - the loser comes over and hits the cigarette."
…
After several rounds of fierce competition, Xiaobai soon became the final loser.
Jiang Xia carried the listless ghost aside and looked at the other ghosts, especially the ghosts in monster form: "You guys move aside." So as not to interfere with the experiment.
The ghosts obediently dispersed a little.
Jiang Xia reached for the lighter, knocked out a brand new white smoke cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a click.
Xiaobai raised his hands to cover his eyes, and peeked out through his fingers - although he wouldn't be burned by the smoke, the scene of Mist Tengu being rolled over by the smoke still looked a bit scary.
However, unexpectedly, the expected "huge suction force" did not come.
Xiaobai and several human-shaped ghosts were still standing firmly in the same place, nothing happened.
Instead, there was a chaotic murmur coming from the side.
——Several demon monsters that had retreated were all pulled towards the cigarette butt as if they were suddenly caught in a cyclone. They were instinctively flapping their wings... no, it seemed that the word "all at once" should not be used - unlike the mermaid, Mist Tengu and Spider Lady, the cat, which was only the size of a coin, was obviously not as stable as them.
Before it could react, the whole cat was pulled closer by an invisible force, and it bumped into the cigarette in a daze, meowing in panic.
