『Double Soul』『Split Soul』『Lost』『Checkmate』『Evil Star』『Tricky Luck』
Yang Xiu looked at the pattern with a dull expression.
Rather than saying that Yang Xiu is watching, it is actually the paper man who is watching. It is better to say that the paper spirit is watching, let alone——
Zuo Dao is watching.
Now Yang Xiu has been completely parasitized by the paper man, and not only his body, but also his soul.
He is now equivalent to a heretical clone, walking in the world and observing the world.
This is also the really weird part of Trickery and Paper Cutting, and it is also regarded as evil by many people.
Not to mention the original ability of the paper-cutting technique itself, from its spread to a certain place where they lived a good life, to the shikigami they developed, to the local soul-residing and life-extending skills, the various tricks can only be said to be varied.
And these strange and weird things are all the products of the original paper-cutting technique itself.
For example, Shikigami, Soul-Reincarnation and Life-Extension, and a series of possession-based techniques are all extended from the "Parasite Human Soul" technique.
The so-called parasitic human soul refers to the double parasitism of body and soul, completely controlling the other party.
This trick is not effective for those with strong souls or spiritual practitioners, but for non-spiritual practitioners or even practitioners whose souls are not strong and have no protection or defense measures, it can be said to be accurate when used, at least that's what the record says.
This can be regarded as the pinnacle operation of paper cutting in terms of control, but the price is also very high.
There must be spiritual paper, spiritual paper, spiritual paper, and paper figures made of spiritual paper.
Unfortunately, this thing was too rare in the world in the past, so we couldn't afford it, so we had other things.
Because once the paper man is parasitized, it is equivalent to being deeply bound to this body.
From then on, the paper person is him/her, and he/she is the paper person.
But there are many in this world.
But there is a prerequisite for using "Parasite Human Soul", that is, the soul of the caster must be strong enough.
For comparison, Zuo Dao must reach at least the first step of the original spirit form before it can be used.
I couldn't do anything left-handed before, but now I can.
In this way, after Zuo Dao learned about a series of things in Huacheng, he immediately thought of this method. He needed more reliable "people" to do things for him.
As for the first person to try, Zuo Dao immediately thought of Yang Xiu, and the success was very smooth, giving him more ideas——
Yang Xiu, the master of the left path, studied the destiny belonging to Li Jia.
Due to the previous situation, from that day on, Li Jia's destiny book no longer existed in his soul sea, but in a flowing form, flexibly changing according to his location, where he went, and other various circumstances.
"There is no need to mention the fate of heavy souls. Almost all of the fates that follow are just coming out.
"The split soul is the Ruan Sheng brother of the heavy soul. Its appearance means that Li Jia has just experienced the double soul being merged into one and then being stripped away. Combined with Jin Chongjing's information, could the shadow man be Li Jia? Or in some way Li Jia?
"Dying may be physical death, or it may be soul death, but in any case, it is almost too much to bear.
"The evil star means that his ending will be difficult to change.
"Trickster is one of the patterns that just emerged. It is the same as mine, but the color and gloss of the font are several times stronger than mine. This shows that he was coerced by a big conspiracy, and it started a long time ago.
"Lost appears last, this one is more interesting...
"Generally lost refers to the loss of the soul, so if the shadow man is Li Jia, assuming he is in Li Jia's body now, will he also get lost later?
"If the shadow man is also lost, now is the best time for me to learn about Li Jia. My spiritual sense tells me that he may be very crucial..."
Yang Xiu showed a smile that was quite interesting but did not suit him and said:
"Then, let Zuo Mou find out more. If the boy comes out, I will give him a soul explosion——"
Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
A very shallow soul appeared between his eyebrows. There was a small paper man wrapped in his soul controlling him. The next moment, they got into Li Jia's life book——
Li Jia is an ordinary person. His father is the sales manager of a building materials handling company.
It seems quite respectable, but in fact there are several people in the sales department and several managers, and the so-called construction materials range from sand and mud bricks for construction sites to small ones for personal decoration.
In order to make more money, sometimes his father, a sales manager, would help with some work. Therefore, Li Jia had the impression that his father was never decent.
Except when I go to find business, I wear a half-fitted ordinary suit and artificial leather shoes.
How much you earn in a month depends on God, people, and luck.
After she was born, her mother was basically unemployed. She was busy all day long, and she was surrounded by money, rice, oil and salt.
Li Jia himself is up to par, and his academic performance has always been very good.
He wanted to improve his family conditions, so he studied diligently.
But there were temptations along the way, and he also slacked off, was confused, was beaten, and scolded.
But it can still be considered as learning through stumbling.
With his good physique since childhood, he was successfully recruited to join the General Affairs Bureau.
But don't think too much, they are just ordinary officers on duty, without any luck.
Along the way, he worked as an intern to the urban management section of the General Affairs Bureau. This was a position where there were no big things but small things. Every day, he argued with vendors for a position.
Even within the General Affairs Bureau, this section is at a low level and has very little authority.
After that, he was transferred to the area operator, and he began to really look like a member of the general affairs bureau. He could be issued weapons when he was on duty, put on the windbreaker that he had envied for a long time, and then he went up, and up, he walked The deputy team leader of the area arrived.
By this time, he was in his thirties and felt that he had reached the end.
Those positions above, other truly core units, can no longer be obtained through hard work.
Even though he has worked hard and diligently over the years, he has been injured many times in order to arrest criminals, and even spent several months in the hospital.
If you report praise or something, it will be enough for him.
But when it comes to promotion and transfer, we don't even talk about it, don't even think about it.
As for salary and benefits, everything follows the rules and procedures.
Li Jia carefully thought about it, analyzed it, and talked to seniors, and finally realized that the situation in the General Affairs Bureau was very deep, at least in terms of Huacheng.
The immediate boss, Bai Xiuyuan, whom I have never met since joining the company, is an airborne person.
Within a few years of his arrival, he carried out many dimensionality reduction attacks on the local high-level officials in Huacheng that Li Jia did not understand well.
As a result, most of the regular departments were managed by local people, while those involving special departments were all handled by people from Bai Xiuyuan's department.
This had an impact on people like Li Jia.
The most fertile part of the human resources of the local forces has been cut off.
With fewer resources and fewer positions, one must fill up more people. Ordinary people like him without roots have no chance and are directly excluded.
Unless he can do something and get someone's attention, everything will fall into place.
But, what can a district operator do...
Even if there were, he wouldn't be able to catch up. There are a lot of units in the General Affairs Bureau, keeping an eye on those special events.
Just when he gave up on progress, looked at his savings, and the mortgage loan he still had to pay off in a few years, and was about to seriously listen to the idea of getting married and having children, his jurisdiction received a special incident——
The trajectory of his life changed.
It was a joint law enforcement effort involving multiple departments and units.
The General Affairs Bureau was dispatched: area officers, search section, mysterious section, special forces section, and city management section.
The observation center was dispatched: remote assistance at the information collection layer, observation team, and on-the-ground operations by the execution team.
eight
The joint actions of several units, and the shocking experiences involved, caused waves in Li Jia's always dull life.
Seeing those abilities that are not very brilliant but exciting, and the weird things that appear in ordinary life, Li Jia has a great desire for these exciting things.
But he immediately became cold-hearted. Except for the two units he had worked in before and the one he was currently working in, the rest were not qualified for him to enter, and he also missed the best age.
But during the closing process of that incident, some aftermath suddenly occurred, which happened to be near their patrol group.
The team leader and Li Jia didn't think much and took the team members to check the situation.
Afterwards, they met the personnel of the observation center and went with the execution team.
Then there was an encounter in this corridor of memories that would also make his heart tremble.
They were separated in layers of mist.
Obviously we just rushed into a den, but everyone seemed to be far away from each other.
At this time, Li Jia came to a room alone and saw a scroll.
The painting was very strange, all the renderings were dark and ominous, and the descriptions of the scenery were all scenes of disaster.
In the sky in the scroll, there is a big eye overlooking the ground.
Later, Li Jia seemed to have problems and gaps in his memory.
Zuo Dao had no choice but to control Yang Xiu to continue exploring.
Then, the content of the next scene is full of weirdness——
When Li Jia woke up after an unknown amount of time, he was still in this unknown place.
There was still fog all around, but underneath the place where he fainted, there were ritual circuits.
He wanted to try to cross out, but found that his body began to lose control.
Then a voice sounded in his heart.
"Do you want to gain mystery?" 』
"I think you do. 』
Li Jia, who was out of control, could only reply to the other party and ask who it was.
But he didn't get a response. At the same time, he felt as if his brain and soul were itching.
It was like the end of a quill being gently teased. It was very uncomfortable, and he began to feel fear.
"I know you, you don't want to be ordinary. 』
"..."
Following the words of that voice, Li Jia went from rebuttal to silence, and the ritual circuit on the ground began to shine.
His body became greasy, and a lot of black liquid gradually oozed out, then wrapped around himself, and his sight disappeared.
When Li Jia woke up the next moment, there was a person standing in front of him.
A dark-skinned "self".
The black-skinned Li Jia seemed very satisfied when he looked at Li Jia's body. He said:
"The ritual: Twins went well. You signed a contract with the great existence - Talak Udyana. Soon you will enter the core department of the General Bureau, and you will forget me when you don't meet me." 』
After that, there was the sudden rise of Li Jia.
After that incident, he made great achievements and entered the Mysterious Processing Department with the help of the Observation Center.
Seeing Yang Xiu's soul body here, he frowned a little.
"There is something wrong with this memory." Zuo Dao, the actual controller, said.
As Zuo Dao's thoughts turned, the corridor of memories disappeared, and the various memory curtains of Li Jia's body dispersed together.
The next moment, this place turned into a corridor of destiny, and Zuo Dao began to return to Shuo from the perspective of destiny.
After that, he saw a new scene, also at this time -
After Li Jia and his team members received the mission, a group of execution team members who had been waiting for a long time met them by chance.
Together, they entered the den and were enveloped in the ritual realm.
Li Jia, his team members and the team leader were separated.
But these people on the executive team didn't.
They gathered together to discuss quietly.
"The cognitive modification authority for the Four Seasons of Anping has been issued. "one person
said.
"Get it for the guy named Li Jia to make him give up resistance and increase his interest in the mystery. 』
"Well, it's done. Are you ready for the ceremony? He's unconscious." 』
"Okay, let's withdraw." 』
"..."
After that, the shadow man separated from Li Jia came out, and he looked at Li Jia.
At this time, Li Jia was still in a coma.
The shadow man murmured to himself, as if communicating with certain people, or giving some hint to Li Jia:
"The anchor point has been established. Although I don't know why you chose him, I will do everything as you wish. When the final time comes, it will become a ritual and build a bridge between you and the current situation.
"Yes... I will cover the entire Flower City with rituals and not let anyone go. Well, I will focus on all those who have mystical abilities and sacrifice them alive when the time comes - just the great Mother Goddess, you Didn't we sign a contract with him... Oh, okay, we don't need to worry about it...
"It will be difficult for you to notice your own affairs and forget about them. You will only think that after this time, you have been appreciated by some people in the observation center and promoted until the end.
"you......"
As he spoke, the shadow man in the picture stopped talking.
He seemed to have noticed something, or was intervened by something.
He turned his head violently as if searching here, and his head was twisted like a twist.
During this process, his head unfolded like petals, revealing an eyeball supported by blood vessels, and then it suddenly froze in one place.
Just looking there, looking at Yang Xiu through the screen.
Then an indescribable spiritual communication emanated:
"You █——I █████peep ████████ not ██████"
Then before he could finish speaking, the Corridor of Destiny instantly collapsed.
The soul body belonging to Yang Xiu exploded on its own with a command.
In reality, in the abandoned factory, Yang Xiu's body began to appear deformed as he fell limply to the ground. However, under the observation of the prepared paper crowd, he was directly pierced through the head with a paper sword.
Under the double blow, the distortion stopped, and Yang Xiu was silent again.
The little paper people looked at each other, and each of them scattered the various construction materials they had planned for a long time, and threw them on Yang Xiu, and then they all fit together with a sigh, and spontaneously ignited in an instant.
All will disappear.
...
On the other side, in a private house.
The room was enveloped in a fiery halo.
Those fanatical believers, as well as Xu Qu's men who had previously opened the door to the left path, were all trapped in a dream-like illusion. Although they were standing, they were swaying like the seaweed, and their expressions were hazy.
These are the "materials" of the heresy.
The paper men will become their hosts, and they will bloom everywhere and do whatever Zuodao wants to do.
Since they were different from Xu Qu, some of them were either not mentally normal or in a highly excited state. Zuo Dao chose to let Xu Qu collect those that he could contact, and use his own magic to reduce their excited state. , Speaking human words is confusing.
So that they can parasitize their own paper figures. After all, they will either go out to cause destruction, or return to the embrace of some ghost, so it is better to return to the embrace of his evil ways and do some "good deeds" for themselves.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, many paper figures emerged from Zuo Dao's body.
They each had a quick fight in the air, and finally each chose their target and got in.
Zuo Dao, who was standing on the small podium, did not stop the scene. He was thinking about other things.
Isn't it just a fight between paper figures...
Isn't it just beating yourself...
What a big deal.
"Li Jia is miserable enough. He is being targeted for no apparent reason, and even his own knowledge is not his own.
"It seems that I will have to do more resistance in this area in the future. The cognitive modification of Secret Art: The Four Seasons of Anping is a bit too outrageous.
. "
Zuo Dao also sighed a little. Through this attempt, he successfully figured out Li Jia's situation.
It was a pity that what happened later prevented him from finding more information.
"At that time, the "Black Shadow Man" suddenly came to life. The dialogue in Destiny was not like its style. It was probably the one with the big eyes, but I didn't have time to listen to the nonsense it said. Qing, when you hear it clearly, Yang Xiu’s soul and the paper man will be completely contaminated, and then trace back to me.
"It can be said to be a different world version - I understand everything and become everything."
"However, their purpose can be determined. Putting aside the intrigues of Huayu's own internal issues, it can be clearly known that if this big-eyed man really lets it come to Huacheng to take root, it is estimated that not many people will be able to leave alive.
"And he actually wants to capture everyone who can be captured and has mysterious abilities.
"What a coincidence, doesn't this include me?
"Then we have to see how to destroy it..."
While Zuo Dao was thinking calmly, everything was done in the room.
As he was thinking about it, these people all turned around and then walked away.
"It's time to get to work. That thing in the sky is so annoying that my paper man can't even look up at the sky. That's not good."
Outside the room, Xu Qu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, found the door open.
Those believers who looked fanatical not long ago, as well as his less loyal subordinates, all walked out with expressions on their faces, passed by him, and left straight away.
Finally, Zuo Dao walked out with a dull expression.
Xu Qu approached him with a questioning look on his face, but did not speak first.
Seeing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said:
"The matter has been resolved. Huacheng will be a little chaotic next. This is for you."
Zuo Dao took out a small notebook from his pocket and gave it to him.
Xu Qu took it and opened it, the expression on his face changed one after another.
First I was surprised, but then it turned out to be true, and it was even more complicated.
It was a special operations clearance document.
It contains Zuo Dao's name, position, and Xu Qu's identity.
"Take this and go to the General Affairs Bureau, and be careful on the way. The adult will try his best to protect you, but he is busy now.
"If someone from the General Affairs Bureau asks you what you do specifically, ask them to contact me. As for other questions, I think you should know." Zuo Dao said.
Xu Qu understood immediately: "I understand, I am just under your command."
"Very good." Zuo Dao smiled as usual:
"I have something else to do next, so I'll leave first."
"You walk slowly."
...
General Affairs Bureau.
The switchboard was buzzing with calls at this moment.
Everything was busy, and gunshots and warnings came from time to time outside.
The officers in charge of civil affairs have never seen these battles, but even if they have beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads, they must maintain their composure and prevent their panic from infecting others.
In the underground secret level of the General Affairs Bureau.
The people in the Mystery Department are busy non-stop, and no one has their feet touching the ground.
From time to time, operators from other units would rush into the predetermined room, or operators who were lacking supplies or injured and retired would be teleported back in bursts of rainbow light.
So much so that the usually deserted Secret Ritual Level was now crowded with people.
"What? People outside can't come in. What the hell is going on?"
In the section chief's office on the secret level, the section chief and the leader of the dispatch team had ugly expressions when they received the bad news.
"Si Lu Dian has been preheating a secret ceremony called Heaven-Ending Jedi. His Excellency Tianlang has issued a death order. All external support has been put on hold. There is nothing I can do about it!" The other end of the phone was obviously in a very bad mood. not good.
"But..." the other person on the phone added again:
"There are two people you can accept. They were specially approved to come in. Si Lvdian said that
Integration process...
"The signal is going to be disconnected. They expect to transmit it in five minutes."
Five minutes later, Room 17 of the Rainbow Bridge on the Mystery Level.
The section chief and dispatch team leader who had been waiting for a long time saw the signal light change from red to orange, and then to green.
Then, the door slid open, and a man and a woman walked out. They were wearing the uniforms and trench coats of the General Affairs Bureau.
"Long time no see, you two. Let's go through the process first, and the law enforcement camera will record it.
"Hello everyone, I am Tong Yan, a former member of the Secret Division of the Huacheng General Affairs Bureau, and now a special operations member assigned by Tianlang Pavilion. The person next to me is Quan Hu, the same as me."
Tong Yan said as she took out her appointment authorization letter:
"I will become the fourth-series commander of the General Affairs Bureau. When Director Bai Xiuyuan, Director Chen Jiu, and Team Leader Zang Ti are unable to participate in the command, I will take over all affairs of the General Affairs Bureau.
"At the same time, I also brought something back for our General Affairs Bureau——"
