Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 357 Side Effects

The tree trunk, which had been burned into black charcoal by the golden flames, showed vigorous vitality under Xiaohu's roar!
Black ash fell down, and colorful deformed flower buds emerged from the surface of the charcoal, competing for beauty!

"Good boy, I have suffered all my life, and now I am old and my son is taking care of me!"

Countless huge mouths opened on the huge filthy oval and roared.

Along with Xiaohu's roar, the flowers on the charcoal grew vigorously. The surrounding yellow flames burned a piece of petals, and the next second, ten more grew.

"The most hateful thing is that you called your own father a dead wood, and then you said that the dead wood bloomed, and asked me to say that this flower bloomed beautifully!"

The flames of madness and destruction of the Yellow King were still burning fiercely, but the changes before our eyes...

He actually didn't know what was going on. Not only did he not know, Ling'er was also confused.

When gods devour each other, they basically compete with each other based on their ideals. If the ideals don't work, they use brute force. If brute force doesn't work... she has never seen them start cursing at each other directly.

In her eyes, her silly brother could not withstand the madness of the King in Yellow.

But where did they learn this new trick of “making a dead tree bloom”?
As Xiaohu's dead wood bloomed, the plants around the lake bloomed more and more vigorously. The fire of destruction that was once invincible seemed to have met its natural enemy. No matter whether the flames touched Xiaohu or fell on the plants, they could not burn the firm will in his heart.

“I want to bloom!”

Little Tiger shook out the last of his baggage and with a roar, the deformed flowers beside Harry Lake seemed to have gone through tens of millions of years of evolution. They all bloomed and sprayed red and black pollen from inside.

For a moment, pollen was floating throughout the dreamland, and the inextinguishable crazy flame was gradually covered by the pollen and extinguished.

Millie Tangdu, who was curled up on the top of the giant tree, lifted a corner of her coat and caught the falling pollen with her hands.

She also heard Xiaohu's roar that resounded through the sky. Was this... a win? She did win, but she felt that something was not right with Xiaohu's voice.

It reminded her of that guy inexplicably...

The King in Yellow was still throwing flames at Xiaohu with all his might, but Ling'er could see clearly that the victory was already decided.

It is estimated that the Yellow King will leave on his own before long. After all, a deity of this status can be suppressed, bound, and exiled, but it is difficult to completely destroy and kill him, even with his own help.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

Everything in the dreamland seemed to suddenly freeze, and the nameless oath and shackles restricted the fight between Xiaohu and the King in Yellow.

The body of the King in Yellow gradually shrank back to its original human form. His thick tentacles retracted under his yellow robe, and the white mask reappeared on his face.

Xiaohu did the same, gradually turning back into the appearance of a child. He turned around and pointed at Ling'er, meaning, you're making things worse!
"It wasn't me."

Ling'er was also confused. I was just watching you two fighting from the side, but I didn't do anything.

She closed her eyes and took it all in. Neither Little Tiger nor the Yellow King cared about the knowledge of other gods.

With your status, you can go anywhere with your own head held high, and you don't need to care about the twists and turns of those inferior gods.

But Ling'er is different. Since she was born, she has had an omnipotent desire for all knowledge in the universe. She is also proficient in even the most insignificant forbidden spells.

She realized as soon as she felt it. The dreamland before her was sealed by someone from the outside world. However, this seal... seemed to be full of loopholes. It could only temporarily prevent her, Xiaohu, and the King in Yellow from revealing their true identities. Well... maybe they couldn't use their great power easily.

But the seal is very short and it will probably be lifted in about ten minutes.

What is going on...

Let's go back a little bit in time and talk about Liu Yonglu in the conference hall outside the dreamland.

Liu Yonglu stood behind Francis, looking quite silly.

My talent is unstoppable. I can make a living wherever I go. You see, among so many investigators under control, they recognized me as a talent and picked me out.

"Come here, there are three things you need to do."

As soon as Francis turned his head, Liu Yonglu reacted quickly, put away his playful smile, and returned to his dull and numb look.

"Ok."

In fact, Francis could also control Liu Yonglu through his mind, but his misfortune was that he was too cautious! It was not enough to tell him once in his mind, he had to tell him again verbally to feel at ease.

"Look at this arm carefully. You must put it in the upper right corner as time goes by."

"Ok."

Liu Yonglu was about to say "OK", but he forced himself to hold it back.

Liu Yonglu took a transparent wooden stick as thick as his forearm from Francis. This thing was crystal clear like crystal, and looked a bit like the hind legs of the katydid he raised as a child, but there was no katydid that big.

"Look at this stone. Move it to the lower left corner according to the direction I told you."

Liu Yonglu was stunned for a long time before he uttered:
"Ok."

Francis was quite satisfied. This puppet looked ageless and clever, but he needed a "stupid" puppet right now.

Why did Liu Yonglu wait so long to agree? He felt that his brain was a little slow, not the kind of dizziness from drinking too much, but just particularly slow. It was like he didn't listen to the lectures in the first half of his senior year, and took algebra in the second half.

“These two bottles of potion are the most important, don’t you listen?

The red bottle is poured into the round cauldron, and the green bottle is poured into the square cauldron."

"Ok."

Liu Yonglu took all the things and put them away. Why did Francis need a puppet to assist him?

Because his mass ceremony was too complicated and difficult, after the ceremony began he had to stand in the center of the magic circle to manipulate the ancient book.

This ancient book is no ordinary relic. He had obtained it from somewhere else by some means. Its function is to seal gods.

The plan had been planned for ten years. Under his plan, the ancient book was first discovered "accidentally" by the people in the containment department. Then, in the past ten years, Francis used the puppets undercover in the containment department to gradually accumulate energy for the ancient book.

Why was the ancient book placed in room 1408 to seal Ythogtha?

If for no other reason, it's just to absorb the other party's great power and do an experiment to see what the effect is.

At that time, this ancient book could seal Ythogtha for ten years just by closing it. Now the deity he wanted to seal was very important. He had already felt the presence of Ling'er and Xiaohu, so the ancient book must be opened! Use the mass ceremony recorded on it.

After finding an open space, Francis drew obscure spells on the ground and scattered various materials around. The preparations were almost finished.

Francis closed his eyes and felt the strong fluctuations in the space. Yes, more than one high-ranking god was in the dreamland, huh? It seemed... there were signs of fighting.

However, your powers were given to you at birth, so what? In the end, you will still be counted by me.

Francis opened his arms and felt the joy of victory in his now human body.

He took a deep breath and then stepped into the magic circle. As Francis chanted the obscure spell, a sticky black asphalt-like liquid slowly flowed out of the ancient book. It fell to the ground and quickly solidified, turning into pieces of black eggshell fragments.

As he chanted, the puppets around him turned pale, looked painful, and struggled.

Even if they were transformed into puppets, the forbidden knowledge that Francis recited was beyond their ability to bear. This was also the second reason why Francis was so confident in Liu Yonglu.

If you were not controlled, you would not be able to stand steadily and would go crazy on the spot, covering your head.

Little did he know that at this moment Liu Yonglu was like an old monk in meditation, with his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his mouth, and his mouth asking his heart. He did nothing else but work!

"Your popsicle is hygienic, it's made of cold water and sugar frozen into ice..."

All preparations before the Mass were completed, and Francis strode to the ancient book and reached out to touch the solidified black eggshells.

The eggshell seemed to have life. As soon as it touched Francis' body, it floated up into the air and wrapped him tightly.

"what!"

A scream of pain came out of Francis' mouth. Even as a god, the cost of using this mass ritual was a little too much for him to bear.

Liu Yonglu happened to capture the moment before Francis was wrapped tightly in the eggshell.

Francis was no longer in human form, and a milky white, soft monster flashed by before being wrapped up.

Okay, I’m leaving. My short career as a puppet...well, is almost over.

Liu Yonglu looked at the things at hand. He had no idea what the mass ceremony in front of him was used for or how it worked.

No matter what you do, I'll just do it my way.

Thinking of this, Liu Yonglu didn't care about the timing or the direction, he picked up the transparent insect's hind leg and threw it into the mass magic circle.

"Oh!"

Just like the special effects in the movies, a puff of white smoke rose when the insect legs flew into the magic circle. Liu Yonglu pinched his nose and fanned it with his hand, then looked closely at the insect legs, which were all burnt black.

"Okay, I can do it."

Liu Yonglu weighed the stone in his hand, and then posed like he did when he was skipping stones on the water bank of the Haihe River when he was a child, bending over and stretching his arms.

"Go away!"

The stone also rolled twice on the ground, destroying the magic circle pattern drawn by Francis with chalk, and finally hit the black eggshell directly.

"Interesting."

Finally, there were two bottles of magic potion. Liu Yonglu picked them up and was about to pour them...

No, how did it go... he forgot... Logically speaking, even if Liu Yonglu did nothing at this moment and just stood there ignoring the two bottles of potion, the ritual would have been a complete failure.

But Liu Yonglu's brain suddenly stopped working! He was stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out. He had to make a mistake for Francis!
He doesn't know that his success is due to his little genius, and his failure is also due to his little genius!
Bernard only told the little genius brother and sister about the side effects of this ancient relic, Liu Yonglu didn't know about it!

The side effects made Liu Yonglu pour the two bottles of potion into the alchemy cauldron without thinking!
