The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 394 - 231 Deconstruction of Resurrection Magic
Chapter 394: Chapter 231 Deconstruction of Resurrection Magic”Resurrection, truly achieved resurrection.” Jiang Shu muttered as he looked at the information on the Character Card.

Merely the simple words ’resurrection’, just that, but it was enough to demonstrate the power of this Derivative Entry.

To reverse life and death had been the dream of countless people throughout history, and now, such ability was within his grasp.

Yet, as Jiang Shu stared at the simple two characters, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Having acquired so many Derivative Entries before, he naturally understood that the simpler the explanation given on the Character Card, the more complex the Derivative Entry was likely to be.

It was called resurrection, without specifying the object, but when it came to actually using it...

Who knew what could happen.

Ding: ”It’s better not to experiment with this Derivative Entry while we are on the streets; if it goes out of control, we may not be able to stop it.”

Little Ding also shared the same thoughts as Jiang Shu, both thinking of this point at the same time.

Indeed, it’s just called resurrection but doesn’t specify what type. What if it resurrects something bizarre like a zombie?

Biochemical Crisis·Lonely City?

What kind of spin-off plot is this?

Although he suspected that he and Clo were similar in ability and such unexpected events could be resolved by restarting, and after restarting, he could make better choices...

He did not want that, not at all.

The reason might be that he hadn’t experienced enough life and death. Maybe if he played to the extent of Clo, he wouldn’t care about the collapse of a particular timeline.

For now, he might as well enjoy life in Lonely City.

”Well then, goodbye, Mr. Koichi Kojima and Mr. Ooishi,” Jiang Shu turned his head to look back at the hospital complex that was large in area but not towering, and extended his hand in a salute to bid farewell.

These two men were the most suitable audience that the Fox had found in the past few days; the Fox had only performed simple Psychological Suggestions on them, so their reactions to everything were absolutely genuine, and they cooperated with Jiang Shu in what could be described as a perfect Magic Performance without even knowing it.

They would next explain the entire process at the police station.

Of course, Koichi Kojima and Ooishi wouldn’t be in any danger, after all, they really knew nothing. Even if Tang’s Fake Body personally interrogated them because of the word Jiang Shu, it would be useless; not knowing meant not knowing.

If Tang’s Fake Body harmed these two because of this, it would only show that Tang was really petty.

Nevertheless, Jiang Shu had assigned Ding to secretly protect these two, ensuring that no harm would come to them because of their association with him.

Ding had followed them around for a long time, staying invisible since before the show started, transmitting the situation of the magic performance to Jiang Shu’s ears in real-time through Mind Reading.

This was no unconscious act; he needed to deeply understand these two men’s thoughts. In the short term, he needed to adjust the magic show’s process as necessary, and in the long term, he had other plans that depended on these two men.

The results were quite evident; under Xiao Yi’s lead, Koichi Kojima had preserved his integrity, refusing for the sake of popularity to do anything bad and instead making great efforts to clarify the unfounded accusations.

Although driven by the instinct of the Entertainment Series to chase popularity, maintaining integrity in face of major issues was commendable, and such people were worth nurturing.

Yes, Jiang Shu was prepared to employ some resources to secretly cultivate Koichi Kojima into a thought leader.

In his vision of Magic·Sky Tower, he needed numerous thought leaders to carry out a pervasive cultural invasion of Lonely City, and as a social documentary host, Koichi Kojima naturally had the capability to participate.

With the influence and popularity of this episode, Jiang Shu would help him gradually become a leading host in the media of Fifth District. Eventually, Koichi would understand that there had always been a man silently supporting him behind the scenes.

Ahem.

Of course, even if he intended to support Koichi Kojima, it would have to wait until after dealing with Tang.

As Jiang Shu walked on the streets, a figure darted out of an alley and naturally appeared by his side.

Jiang Shu, who had simply altered his appearance, would not be recognized by anyone who didn’t know his identity.

The newcomer was the Fox.

”Did the magic succeed?” he turned his face to ask Jiang Shu.

”Yes, it succeeded,” Jiang Shu nodded. ”Many people in Fifth District now believe I possess the ability of resurrection.”

”Is the magic show over?” The Fox continued, and he wasn’t asking aimlessly. He didn’t ask questions with obvious answers; what he really wanted to know was why Jiang Shu chose to perform such a magic show at this time.

After all, he and Lang Tai had gone to great lengths to hold off all the black-clothed Hunters nearby, preventing these minions of Tang from disrupting the integrity of the magic show.

He needed a reason.

”It’s over,” Jiang Shu replied, seemingly misunderstanding the Fox’s question as he continued.

”So... Why?” Seeing Jiang Shu feigning ignorance, the Fox couldn’t help but ask, while his mind raced, thinking about the possible answers, ”Now everyone in Fifth District knows you might have the power of resurrection, including Tang. If Tang himself also possesses the ability of resurrection, he would rightfully be wary of your presence, thereby delaying his own plans. He fears you knowing more, so he will come to find and test you, and in the process, he would reveal more information.”
