Chapter 156 The Ouija Board (33) [How to tell the real boss...]
At this point in the comic, the mother's leaps through the past timeline come to an abrupt end, and the firelight in the fog returns to that small flame.
Su He was attacking Su Huang when Xie Tan suddenly blinked, as if his soul had returned to its place, but he was still in a daze.
Thus, neither Su He's cold hatred, the cult leader's arrogant laughter, nor the patriarch's anger at his end could affect him. He sat there, detached from the lively scene. Even after the patriarch was suppressed in the spell tower, he remained indifferent, showing no trace of the emotions one would expect from someone seeking revenge.
It was only during his later conversation with Su He, when they talked about Lu Jinzhao, that he showed some emotion.
【Cool! ! 】
Goodbye, Squidward, may your journey be fraught with trouble.
[The patriarch must be quite authoritative to command such hatred from Wolf Dad and the cult leader. Goodbye, bastard.]
[Ah Tan doesn't seem to have much of an expression. Aren't you happy?]
[You just quietly accomplished something important, and now your symptoms have worsened again, haven't they?]
Ah Tan hates the head of the family because he loves his mother. Loving his mother is the most important thing. Now that he's seen his mother, who cares about that grilled squid that's a sure thing?
[Ah Tan: Missing Mommy, too lazy to get distracted.jpg]
The head of the household has a knack for fighting, which defies common sense.
Judging from this, the patriarch is just a minor boss.
The real boss is clearly a mirror god; he's extremely difficult to deal with.
[The demonic dog has handpicked Su Huang to be the Eye of Observation; he's definitely up to no good! The source of evil, the final boss!]
No wonder Ah Tan stopped laughing; he's probably the only one who knows about Yin Taohua's existence right now... Oh no, this is really serious.
[That makes sense. Ah Tan cares about more than just Mommy; he also cares about Lu Lu. The Mirror God is the biggest threat to Lu Lu, and killing the family head is certainly not the end of the matter.]
[Ohhh, Ah Tan himself said he wouldn't let Lu Lu become a regret.]
What else is there to say? It's the tangent theorem, number 99.
[There's one thing I don't understand: in the timeline Mommy jumped to, the Mirror God was perfectly intact, able to see the future and also see why the mirror broke, right? Didn't he stop it?]
[How exactly did the mirror shatter? In the past, during the Yin Peach Blossom arc, it was already in a shattered state when the sun descended.]
Is this another instance of Ah Tan setting his course?
[No, the incomplete state can only be orbited once.]
[What is the timeline for Mommy and the head of the family? It wasn't mentioned, was it? It's very likely that Ah Tan, through timeline jumps and utilizing these two incomplete timelines, orchestrated the shattering of the mirror!]
[Agreed, Ah-Tan is giving Mommy directions, which means Mommy should use the track system to wash away the mirror spirit, right?]
[Was Su Huang's parasitic motherhood also used by A-Tan? This little A-Tan is still terrifying as ever.]
We know when the Mirror God was born, but we don't know when the Smoke Mirror, which hadn't yet been born, appeared and was obtained by the Black Goat! It was probably around this time!
I feel like time is still ticking away; Ah Tan is definitely brewing something big.
So, the next target is the God of Mirrors?
[Definitely, He came with ill intentions!]
[Even though I know Ah Tan is incredibly powerful, this is a true god! How am I supposed to beat him?! I'm so nervous!]
[We need to keep the act going so that Lu Lu can summon the Ouija board.]
What's even more worrying is... I wonder if the Mirror God has seen this episode before?
[Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Since He has lost His eyes, He can probably only see up to this point. With so many messages from before, how could He possibly remember them all? He probably doesn't.]
[He is no longer a true embodiment of mirror consciousness (angel dog puffs out chest), but can only crawl in the shadows.]
[Waiting for Atan's move, I'm so nervous!]
I think Atan is a little nervous too...
It's impossible to tell anymore, but Ah Tan is definitely not in good condition. The more elaborate the ritual, the greater the side effects.
Xie Tan flipped through the pages.
Regardless of his later conversation with Su He or his probing with the cult leader, although he remained aloof, he was indeed in poor condition.
You could say it's due to being tormented by pheromones, or you could say it's due to being absent-minded.
It seemed as if something invisible was holding his mind, making him feel vaguely anxious.
In this state, Ah Tan seemed impatient, but he kept holding his pen and listening to Wolf Dad talk.
[And then he even made fun of his elderly father, hahaha]
This father-son duo is so cute!
[Holy crap, why is Wolf Daddy wearing a cloak like Twelve?]
[So, even the wolf dad almost became an observer?]
[Damn it, good riddance to the Black Goat!!]
Could this be the reason why Wolf Dad knew the inside story of the ritual?
But what about other observations?
[Is he really not the cult leader?]
[What a twist of fate! The most talented Observer Seven and the most incompetent Observer Six, but the former was the only one who failed to become an observer, while the latter became the Eye of Observation. The Double Pupil Project failed, but they almost completed the ritual and became the complete state. This brother and sister... I hope the leader won't use Ah Tan as a substitute meal.]
[I wonder if the cult leader was being sincere with those sweet nothings?]
At the end of the latest chapter of the manga, the leader leaves the dormitory and then appears in front of Observation Five.
Su Shao knew what he had come for.
Her siblings, who were connected to her, didn't understand and thought they had stumbled in by mistake. She had been in the religious order for many years and had done all sorts of things, both black and white, so she couldn't be that naive.
The observation must be refined into solar fire.
She accepted her fate with equanimity.
The cult leader's mouth, like eyes, scanned her expression, as if searching for a flaw: "Did you ask your brothers and sisters for their opinions?"
The four ghosts appeared, swaying uneasily, but dared not act rashly.
“One eye sees five, five ghosts are connected, sharing one eye,” Su Shao said. “I think it could be said that they share one heart.”
The four ghosts didn't know what was happening, but upon hearing this, they danced with joy.
Although they were somewhat foolish, they were quite perceptive of the dangers that the main ghost might face. They moved closer together, crowding around Su Shao, and from a distance, they really looked like a single entity.
Su Shao's breathing became more stable: "They should have been freed long ago. It's because I'm trapped in the mortal world that I have no regrets at my age. It's my honor to be able to personally forge the death of my enemies."
The leader said, "The taste of the sun's fire is not pleasant."
Su Shao: "I am not as good as the madman I observed, but I am not cowardly. Besides, I have my family by my side, and my wish has long been fulfilled. There is no pain to speak of."
“We’ll all listen to her,” the four ghosts muttered, hugging Su Shao tightly.
Hahahaha!
The cult leader suddenly burst into laughter, his tongue twitching excitedly between his lips, like his eyes darting around.
His joy came suddenly, so directly that it was chilling.
Su Shao, who had been calm, was startled again, recalling the strange look the sect leader had given her last time: "My lord?"
"No...it's nothing, I'm just happy, happy for you all!" the leader said cheerfully. "Your wish was to never be separated from your family, how simple and touching. Seeing your wish come true makes me so gratified...you too, and Observation Ten too, seeing your wishes fulfilled, even the hatred I felt for you has dissipated! Oh, do you know about meteor showers?"
"Meteor shower?"
"I heard it from my sister. There are also rainbows and four-leaf clovers. Seeing them means good luck. You guys are my good luck!"
"You flatter me."
"Hahaha, come on!" The cult leader suddenly stopped his maniacal behavior and said with a grin, "Let's summon the spirit of the Ouija board."
That's the end of this episode.
[Go outside and let loose if you're going to go crazy]
The cult leader is still as cunning as ever.
What is this? Does it mean a smiling boy will have good luck?
What are you laughing at? This is terrifying!
[The other person's mom said that Ah-Tan was her good luck, and the uncle parroted her.]
[Sobbing, I'm crying again, my mother and son!]
[Hmm, the cult leader is really acting strange.]
When will he stop blaming others?
[It's about as disgusting to both big and small cats as him using sticky, gooey words.]
The last time he acted this erratically was because he worshipped a mirror god.
【!! The cult leader didn't achieve observation, but he was in the last batch of sacrifices!! And he was the most talented; he should have been the first sacrifice to make a wish with the Smoke Mirror, right?】
[Holy crap, could it be related to the cult leader's wish?]
[That makes sense. His happiness stems from the fact that their wishes have come true, so wouldn't his own wish also come true?]
[Sister Peony wanted to be with her family, but ended up seeing five eyes at once; Grandma wanted to become a real heiress, but ended up merging with the spirit of a princess... Is this even considered a fulfillment?]
[Please reread the fake turtle riddle; the cult leader doesn't care about these things!]
[Actually, the wish was fulfilled, but normal people couldn't accept it. The cult leader, however, doesn't have normal emotions. He has no feelings; in his view, isn't it enough that it was fulfilled?]
[When A-Tan was observing, it seemed he didn't see the cult leader's wish.]
[Because the cult leader's power is also part of God's! They are on the same level, so it cannot be observed.]
This wish is definitely not simple...
Xie Tan moved to other plot discussion threads and read them all. One thread was hotly debating why the fourth day hadn't passed.
He tried to stay awake and read the forum discussions, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and a chill ran down his spine.
He turned off his phone and propped himself up.
Two seconds later, many shadows slowly emerged from the red of the Ouija board, seemingly opening and closing—those were red lips moving.
Xie Tan stepped back in disgust, only to see those mouths grinning as they swallowed the paper, and the noisy sounds resumed.
nerve.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Go get some sleep, it breaks my heart to see you like this." The cult leader said, "That old policeman is in the old teaching building, wielding a sword to slay demons. He seems to be looking for you. Tsk tsk, does he think this is a fairy tale? This prince is too old. Leave him to me, you rest."
Xie Tan thought it wouldn't work.
He already distrusted the cult leader, and seeing the forum posts about the leader's unknown wishes only heightened his alarm bells.
He said, "You have more important things to do."
You've been holding back so much bad stuff, don't bother him here.
“Oh, you have something to ask him.” The cult leader drawled, “Alright, if you have to work overtime, I’m happy to have some free time. You’re so considerate of your elders, you’re such a good nephew—you’re right, it would be terrible if the octopus we finally caught got away, I have to go back and guard it. The power is getting stronger and stronger, you can feel it too, right? Our ritual is almost complete.”
Xie Tan felt that his physical and mental condition was getting worse and worse.
"Stop running around, he'll come to you on his own, don't be shy!" The cult leader couldn't hide his mischievousness and happily ran off.
Xue Hong should be fine, but he'll probably be given a big scare by the cult leader.
Xie Tan understands the phrase that's often posted on the forum: Can we please stop abusing the elderly?
"I think his suggestion is good! Let's take a break, baby host, meow?"
Cat number 7 is spread out like a cat pancake, ready to be his fluffy little pillow, blinking his big, golden eyes.
Xie Tan bent down and nuzzled its head.
The color of the fur... seems a little lighter.
His popularity was rising steadily, and the system's power was constantly being reclaimed. He had a vague premonition.
The task of "reaching the top of the popularity rankings" is not far off.
