The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 380 - 226: Look What We Found... A Wild Magician?!
Chapter 380: Chapter 226: Look What We Found... A Wild Magician?!In the blink of an eye, after astonishment, Jiang Shu recovered his thoughts.

Xiao Yi’s method was indeed very vicious—if he could resurrect Tang first, it would naturally be a move that could almost permanently prevent future troubles.

However, there were significant limitations in practical operation, and the information they had at the moment was still far from sufficient. It wasn’t clear if Tang would be able to resurrect without relying on a fake body. If he couldn’t, all the better, but if he could...

They would have to be a step ahead.

Time, perhaps what Jiang Shu lacked the most right now was time.

The current resurrection magic definitely required preparation time, and during this preparation period, it was possible that Tang might have already been resurrected by one of his fake bodies.

Yi: Even if we run out of time, it’s still good to have mastered the derivative entries related to resurrection.

Yi: If Tang can resurrect, it’s very likely that he may resurrect multiple times. He would gradually become more difficult to kill after gleaning your secrets through death. But with the resurrection entry, it will be different. Even if he has resurrected this time, as long as we kill him once more and resurrect him first, we can take control of him.

”Right,” Jiang Shu nodded, as he had also figured out the logic behind it.

Jia: Master, so when can your magic performance start?

”Well... as for the performance, I can actually start anytime,” Jiang Shu listed the preparations needed for this magic trick, shrugged his shoulders with some helplessness, ”The main things are when the fox finishes scouting for that program, finding a suitable candidate for resurrection, and I need to ask Sister Ruo some questions. And, predicting this timing is quite difficult for me.”

Jia: Since that’s the case, we can try to delay Tang’s resurrection ourselves. Little Ding once saw Tang seeming to communicate with some creature in the void. If I’m not wrong, that was likely a unique soul entity with intelligence.

”So what?” Jiang Shu hazarded a guess but couldn’t be bothered to think deeply, simply retorting with a question.

With Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, it was comfortable—even the need to think was greatly reduced, after all, everyone’s thoughts would converge on the same endpoints.

Seems like I’m getting lazier.

Yi: Therefore, we must be on the highest alert for Tang’s contingency plans. He might also be able to transform his soul entity into one with intelligence, so we need to take precautionary measures ahead of time.

”Hmm?” Jiang Shu was puzzled; this time, he did not understand what this early precaution was all about.

At this moment, Shu Bao, which had just finished charging in the lab, came out. It passed through the living room, glanced at Jiang Shu discussing something with the Tablet Spirits, and then looked at Lang Tai who stood in the corner like an old man watching a potted plant, and greeted them, ”Hi, Jiang Shu, Lang Tai, Little Jia, Little Yi, Little Bing.”

In theory, as a new generation of intelligent life, it needn’t learn the somewhat hypocritical pleasantries of human society, which might make it appear somewhat foolish, but it chose to do so naturally.

Lang Tai turned his head and gave it a nod as a sign that he saw it; Jiang Shu also waved at it with a smile; and the Tablet Spirits, considered its kind, lit up upon seeing it.

Jia: Shu Bao can see that kind of soul entity, we can have it guard the entrance and not let any soul entity in.

Yi: Right, it’s like an electronic dog.

The three Tablet Spirits nodded in agreement.

Shu Bao: ”???”

Seeing it puzzled, Jiang Shu explained the situation to it and then instructed it to patrol the entire base to see if any soul entities had sneaked in.

Though, if there were any, he didn’t have a good solution anyway.

Hold on.

Jiang Shu suddenly thought of something. He stroked his chin and turned to look at the three Tablet Spirits, asking, ”What do you think... The Dead Spirits used for possession in the Paperman Control Technique, are they soul entities?”

Jia: Perhaps.

And Jiang Shu’s eyes fell, thinking of Devil Wind who had been ”resurrected” by him in this way before. Devil Wind’s life had been fleeting then.

Devil Wind had also mentioned that after that departure, it might be eternal.

Now it seemed that if it really was Devil Wind’s soul entity responding to the call, then he had inadvertently done Devil Wind harm.

After all, there might have been a chance for a true resurrection.

But now, he could use the calling of Tang’s Dead Spirit to confirm this. If he could completely eradicate Tang’s soul entity with this derivative entry, that would be ideal.

”Shu Bao, activate the inversion, and keep an eye on whether any soul entities are forming around me or being pulled out,” Jiang Shu looked at Shu Bao and then activated that feature of the Paperman Control Technique.

A piece of white paper emerged from beneath the cabinet under the coffee table, and it folded itself into a Paperman, in the form of Tang.

Jiang Shu closed his eyes, communicating with this ability within the Paperman Control Technique.

In an instant, he saw the scene inside Dick’s manor—flames rising, countless Xiu Snakes rampaging about.

And under a tree, he saw Tang, surrounded by an Energy Shield, desperately holding on.

Jiang Shu stood amidst the flames, waiting for Tang to react out of his deathly recollection.

Moments later, Tang also took his stance, noticing the reflection of Jiang Shu in the red light, and his brows slightly furrowed, ”Jiang Shu?”
