Chapter 10231031 [Akai Shuichi climbing over the wall]
Jiang Xia looked at the cat that flew over and hit the smoke: "..."
He lifted the frantic cat ghost away and glanced down at the cigarette in his hand.
After being hit by Mist Tengu just now, the cigarette paper turned from white to black, and a circle of wing patterns appeared on the cigarette butt.
Now, after hitting the cat, the paper roll also turned from white to black, and the extra part on the cigarette butt became a simple cat's paw print.
Jiang Xia looked at the smoke, then looked at the humanoid ghost next to him and sighed.
Before, he was worried that something strange would be created. Now it seemed that he was just overthinking - a human-shaped ghost seemed to be unable to be combined with this strange new smoke.
Although it does not match the expected purpose of the experiment, it has been done...
Jiang Xia stared at the burning cigarette, observed it for a moment, then cautiously moved closer and took a small puff.
The paper Shikigami flew out with a rustling sound, and changes immediately occurred on his body - the sounds around him suddenly became clear, and he could even hear the tiny crawling sounds of insects on the wall outside.
…
Jiang Xia took a short while to adjust to his new senses.
Then he remembered something, raised his hand and touched the top of his head, and as expected, he found a pair of upright ears there.
“…” He lowered his hand and touched his face again, and felt normal human skin.
Looking down, the body was still a normal human body. The only thing wrong was the extra cat ears.
Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately it's not a human head with a cat body, or a cat head with a human body..."
In the past, he often went out to patrol the streets in a cat vest, and he accepted the changes well. Moreover, he was well prepared this time, and was not as shocked as when he suddenly found a pair of wings behind him just now.
However, some ghosts seem unable to accept this.
The mermaid swam to Jiang Xia, wagging her tail, and turned around to look at his head.
After a moment, she showed a look of disgust towards the pair of cat ears, turned around and floated away.
But before she had floated far, a long tail came over, leaving a shadow in the air. The tip of the tail hooked the mermaid around the waist and pulled her back in front of Jiang Xia.
"!!" The mermaid was startled. After she came to her senses, she flapped her tail angrily in protest.
"Enhanced hearing and sense of smell, plus a tail that is convenient for catching fish..." Jiang Xia muttered to this, and the tip of his tail suddenly felt numb. When he came to his senses, he saw the mermaid baring her teeth, holding the tip of her tail and biting it hard.
"..." What a grumpy fish. Jiang Xia changed his words perfunctorily, "Okay, a tail that helps me maintain my balance."
...Also, there seems to be something else.
…
Jiang Xia ignored the fish that was struggling wildly. He looked down at his hands while the effect of the "Cat Brand Cigarette" was still there.
It is still a pair of normal human hands, and looks no different from usual.
Jiang Xia stared at his fingers, studied them for a moment, and then followed his intuition and shook his wrist.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of my eyes, and several sharp shadows flashed by.
When he stopped, he saw five sharp claws on his fingertips - transparent, slightly curved blades, attached to the fingers like an exoskeleton, extending from the joints.
With a slight bend of the finger, the light from the bedside lamp slid across the edge of the blade, so cold that it could break hair.
Jiang Xia: “!”
He admired this strange new weapon in the light, then plucked a strand of hair with his free hand, placed it across the claw blade, and blew hard.
The hair was bent by the wind, slipped between the two claw blades, and fell quietly to the ground.
“…”
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment.
Then, as the ghosts looked on curiously, he calmly said, "...It's normal. Cat claws are only sharp at the tip, so they can't be used as knives."
The ghosts seemed to understand, but they looked up at Jiang Xia's expression and nodded their heads in a strong desire to survive.
…
After Jiang Xia fooled the devil, he looked down at the cool claw knife in his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, I felt that what I had just said actually made sense - these claws looked very powerful, it was impossible that they were just decorations.
After thinking about it, he got up without giving up, went down to the kitchen, rummaged around in the deserted kitchen, and took out a stone to press the cylinder.
This is the stone he brought back when he went to the flower and bird market to buy potted plants. He had originally planned to use it to press the jar when pickling pickles, but because he could eat next door, he was too lazy to make his own pickles, and has never used it until now.
But now, this stone has other uses.
Jiang Xia shook his wrist and the claw knife that he had just put away popped out again. His eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his hand and stabbed it down.
With a series of dull crackling sounds, five sharp claws pierced into the stone easily like piercing tofu.
When he withdrew his hand, he found several transparent holes on the hard bluestone.
“……”Great.
Jiang Xia weighed the stone, felt its hardness, and estimated the power of the new weapon, and felt relieved.
Just as the effect of that puff of smoke disappeared, the non-human part of his body turned back into a Shikigami and flew back to the tattoo space.
Jiang Xia looked at the burnt cigarette in his hand with appreciation, collected the smoke it produced, and stored it in the printed space. He then shook the ashes into the trash can.
Finally he disposed of the stone, washed his hands, and returned to the bedroom.
…
Normally, this is already bedtime for healthy people.
But Jiang Xia thought of the new wonderful equipment he had just acquired, and couldn't fall asleep after thinking about it for a long time. Finally, he threw off the quilt and grabbed Noah, who was trapped in a puddle.
He lit up an ordinary ghost mint, trying to create that strange "white mist".
However, after studying for a long time, he still failed in the end - this "mist" with murderous aura as the raw material seemed to have to go through a set of complex operations in the consciousness space before it could be successfully precipitated. Just ordinary feeding failed to achieve the effect that Jiang Xia wanted. After feeding a whole cigarette, Noah was still a crystal ghost ball with no impurities inside.
"Forget it, I'll try again when I have a chance..."
After trying for a long time without any results, Jiang Xia finally gave up.
He carefully put away the remaining two "White Mist" cigarettes, temporarily gave up his research, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
…
After playing the game, all the high school students soon fell into a deep sleep.
But on the other side of the bustling city, some people couldn't sleep at all.
…
Residential area near Dongdu University.
In a dark apartment, Subaru Okiya walked back and forth silently, occasionally peeking out from the gap in the curtains, waiting for something with bated breath.
After a while, there was a noise on the balcony.
"!" Subaru Okiya held a gun unexpertly and looked over vigilantly.
When he saw who was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he waved silently in that direction: Mr. Akai!
…
Shuichi Akai avoided the surveillance cameras in the apartment and surrounding areas and entered his accomplice's house.
He quickly checked the room and found no eavesdropping devices, so he stopped and turned to Okiya Subaru.
