Chapter 153: The talisman has also failed?
After Rongming and the others returned with the slime, Long Xiaoxiao slowly descended the mountain and carefully looked around.
"Did you find anything?" the system asked casually.
Long Xiaoxiao tilted her head, pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly replied, "Um...no."
The system was not surprised by the expected answer and simply said calmly, "It's okay, go back and get something to eat first."
Heaven and Earth eat the biggest meal.
Just as Long Xiaoxiao was about to leave, the strange fragrance wafted to her nose. After sniffing it, Long Xiaoxiao followed the scent to the vicinity of the slime. She looked down and suddenly asked, "Uncle, can I put this thing into the system space?"
The system explained, "No, items from the original world cannot be placed inside the space without the approval of the transit department."
Long Xiaoxiao insisted, "Let's give it a try."
She always felt that the smell of this slime was similar to something taken out of the system space.
The system didn't understand Long Xiaoxiao's inexplicable sixth sense, but hearing her insistence, it still tried it as she wished.
call out.
The slime disappeared.
The atmosphere fell silent instantly, followed by the system's almost cracking mechanical voice: "What?!"
Is this something from a space transfer station?!
Are those bastards at headquarters just sitting around doing nothing?!
The system's CPU is struggling to keep up.
Long Xiaoxiao understood; her sixth sense rarely failed her.
"Uncle, there are others who came from other places like us!" Long Xiaoxiao said in a daze and with surprise.
The system knew, of course, but its mood was not as calm as Long Xiaoxiao's. After thinking about it carefully, it felt that this matter was fraught with danger no matter how you looked at it.
Those people who suddenly appeared from who-knows-where are definitely space fugitives. Even if they aren't, they certainly will be after this incident, since time travel without the approval of the space transfer station is against the rules.
Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Long Xiaoxiao searched the surrounding area again, but after finding no trace of the Gu worms, she simply flew back to Xingyin Mountain.
The system had fallen silent long before it discovered that the slime could be recycled back into the system space, and was instead frantically sending complaint letters to headquarters.
Unfortunately, all those whistleblower letters disappeared without a trace, and no response was received.
The system was furious, while Long Xiaoxiao was happily eating the roasted meat that had been served to her after returning to Xingyin Mountain.
Fragrant.
She temporarily put the matter of the Gu worms aside, as making talismans was already extremely energy-consuming, not to mention the energy she had just spent to make it rain.
Therefore, after eating, Long Xiaoxiao immediately fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, the members of the Supernatural Department also returned to their posts. They were all surprised and moved when they received a batch of highly effective talisman water personally delivered by the Azure Dragon God to the closed hospital.
The Azure Dragon God sent them to sleep and rest, while he himself worked tirelessly and selflessly...
Their vision is still inferior to that of the Azure Dragon God!
Moved by the experience and feeling refreshed, the talismans they drew became even more effective, and their output increased significantly.
While they were still diligently drawing talismans, Rongming returned to the research institute with the slime and immediately had everyone analyze the substances.
Qiao Linfeng received Rong Ming's task right after finishing dinner, and quickly got to work with the professors.
The test results surprised everyone.
These slimes contain a substance never seen before, which can be presumed to be highly flammable, but also contains some components they are familiar with.
"The substances they release when they burn are hallucinogenic drugs," the professor said seriously to the mission's personnel.
Hallucinogenic drugs?
Rong Ming was stunned. He exchanged glances with the people next to him, all of them somewhat bewildered.
“But we didn’t hallucinate at all,” someone couldn’t help but say.
They remembered the strange smell, which must have been the hallucinogen, but they were certain they hadn't hallucinated at all, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to return safely to Star Hidden Mountain.
"That's strange," everyone said.
Rongming simply had everyone undergo a physical examination, and the results showed nothing abnormal; it seemed they hadn't inhaled any hallucinogens.
Everyone was completely confused, but also relieved.
This operation was not without its gains; at least it revealed that someone was sabotaging things behind the scenes. China's first reaction was to suspect Li and Yang, given that their previous animosity towards China was not a recent development.
However, the situation is urgent, and even if people suspect the other party, they don't have the time to actually go and argue with them.
Long Xiaoxiao slept for a long time, almost a whole day, which startled the person who had been taking care of her recently. They came over several times to carefully check Long Xiaoxiao's breathing, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that nothing had happened.
The first thing Long Xiaoxiao did after waking up was to run and check on the situation outside. Seeing that although it was under control, there was no significant improvement, her originally relaxed mood immediately turned gloomy.
"Uncle, they're in pain," Long Xiaoxiao said sullenly.
"It's okay, it'll be alright," the system offered a dry reassurance.
These words of comfort had little effect. After a few minutes of silence, Long Xiaoxiao decided to continue helping Rong Ming and the others search for those hideouts.
However, Rong Ming and the others made no progress, and Long Xiaoxiao made little progress either. Their previous confidence was shaken, and Long Xiaoxiao looked even more unhappy.
Those painful sighs still seemed to echo in her ears, and the more Long Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more depressed she felt.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
"Save me, Azure Dragon God, save me!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
"pain!"
"..."
One wail after another startled Long Xiaoxiao, who was still somewhat dazed. She looked up and around for a long time, but couldn't see a single person.
Was she hallucinating?
Long Xiaoxiao felt as if something was weighing on her heart, and she became increasingly sad. The system noticed the abnormality and, after a quick check, asked astutely, "Xiaoxiao, did you hear any strange noises?"
A faint trace of an unusual energy fluctuation left a mark near Long Xiaoxiao's ear.
Long Xiaoxiao nodded, seemingly confused.
The system became even more apprehensive, taking it as a joke played by the fugitives, since provoking the space transfer station was their favorite thing to do.
The system felt that this matter could no longer be handled quietly. Putting aside the Gu worm issue in this world, it now wanted to ensure Long Xiaoxiao's safety.
After thinking it through, the system decisively went to the system store, found some one-time protection charms, and then used its own private points to buy them.
"Xiaoxiao, if you encounter any strange situations in the future, don't rush to step forward, understand?" the system solemnly instructed.
Long Xiaoxiao found it strange, but still obediently agreed: "Okay."
Just a second later, someone outside exclaimed, "The talisman has failed too?!"
