Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 254 Candy
Jin Rongjia's eyes sharpened. "We'll search the earth and chase them to the ends of the earth to find these wolves!"

"Understood," Su Ming said.

"You and Miao Xin, don't get involved in this. Especially you, focus on the other world," Jin Rongjia said solemnly. "This is our mission, and we'll do it without hesitation, no matter the sacrifices! But you and Miao Xin absolutely cannot have any problems!"

Su Ming rubbed his temples. "Okay."

After disconnecting the communication, Su Ming sat quietly in the chair, his thoughts churning.

He also needs time to process the information he just received.

Facing enemies whose methods far exceed the boundaries of human understanding, Jin Rongjia and his team will certainly not have an easy time. For example, in their investigation, how will they distinguish between genuine accidents and murders caused by the 'Calamity Marks' among the countless "accidents" that have occurred in the past?

There are always people who are carrying the burden.

But Su Ming's side was equally challenging. Unbeknownst to him, he had already shouldered many responsibilities and expectations.

He told Violet the information he had just obtained on Earth.

"Five years?" Zi Jin was equally surprised by this number, her brows furrowing slightly. "So this 'Jackal' warrior's true strength is likely more than just a high-level warrior."

"Oh?" Su Ming raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

“It’s impossible to maintain an energy level in a poor demon zone for a long time,” Violet explained. “So I deduce that he is actually a more powerful warrior, but he lacks energy and has dropped to that level.”

Su Ming nodded and noted down this conjecture.

"How was the interrogation of the prisoners?" Violet asked in turn. "I'm quite curious to know what the Bell of Calamity's purpose really is."

Su Ming had already learned about this while in the Him Cave that the prisoners were mainly bear-men, and as expected, they knew nothing about it.

Two human members were also captured, but the interrogation revealed that they, too, were brainwashed by the doomsday cult and knew nothing of the true purpose of the Bell of Calamity.

"Qiluo," Su Ming suddenly called out.

The unicorn poked its head out of the window. "What?"

"What about the souls of Rogkin and Abigail?"

"Don't worry, they're all well preserved!" Qiluo replied.

Not only their souls, but also their bodies, have been properly preserved.

In the world of necromancers, killing enemies is just the beginning!
Fearing complications, Su Ming and Zi Jin did not approach rashly. With so many people around and both of them not in good condition, it was inconvenient to handle the situation.

"We also need to start researching the Bell of Calamity," Su Ming said worriedly. "We still don't know the purpose of this organization, and it's so troublesome."

"There's no need to be so nervous," Violet comforted. "We've definitely dealt them a heavy blow! No organization can withstand the loss of a Saint-level expert and a super magic artifact without suffering serious damage."

"Ah."

Before lunchtime, Su Ming received a message from Miao Xin informing him that all the parts orders he had placed had been completed.

He switched to the other side, and this time Ling Wen was beside him. In the warehouse, the repair parts he needed were neatly categorized and stacked, the metal components gleaming coldly under the lights.

Su Ming looked outside the warehouse. Good, it was still pitch black outside.

“There’s no need to push so hard,” Su Ming said. “My requirement is that everything be ready in 26 hours. We haven’t even started preparing the materials for the teleportation yet.”

“I’m sorry,” Ling Wen said, “we understand it to be within 26 hours.”

Su Ming looked around and saw a large number of researchers standing by, clearly ready to capture the teleportation phenomenon again.

Su Ming cooperated with them in conducting some small-scale teleportation observations, but the data was far from ideal, much less than what could be obtained from larger-scale teleportations.

“I also have to apologize.” Su Ming rubbed his forehead again. “Today is a rest day. We’ll teleport again tomorrow.” Ling Wen paused. “It’s okay. It was our misunderstanding.”

Su Ming nodded and cut the connection.

His condition has not recovered. He was fine right after the battle ended yesterday, but after returning to the train, he started having headaches, and this morning he felt extremely unwell and almost couldn't get out of bed.

However, many things needed to be sorted out, and a large number of personnel and supplies from the other world were en route. He had already formulated plans for various tasks and didn't want his schedule to be interrupted unnecessarily.

Everyone has their limits, and Su Ming knew he wasn't far from them.

Su Ming leaned back in his chair in the office, letting his mind wander.

Too many things cannot be rushed. For example, the rollover during a road test on the mudflats of Jishou after landing in the north was a lesson learned.

Therefore, no matter what, we cannot have too much burden today; Su Ming has made a decision.

He pulled the White Rabbit candy from his pocket. The blue and white wrapper had a cute little rabbit printed on it.

Su Ming unwrapped the twisted ends of the candy wrapper, revealing a slightly ivory-colored milky-white candy block inside. The familiar sweet aroma filled the air, reminding him of his childhood when his parents would occasionally bring home a bag of candy, a cause for celebration.

Suddenly, Su Ming's hand went empty; the candy had vanished. It was Zi Jin's mage hand that had taken the candy.

She brought the candy to her nose and sniffed it. "It smells milky? Can I eat it?"

“…Okay.” Su Ming hesitated slightly before replying.

"So reluctant to eat a piece of candy," Violet said with slight dissatisfaction. She popped the candy into her mouth, chewed it, and commented, "Hmm, not bad!"

She looked up at Su Ming. "What's wrong? You seem a bit down?"

Su Ming shook his head. "Actually, just like you, my head is also hurting."

Zijin chuckled, "Yesterday you were directly battling a veteran Saint-level expert with a thorny whip, fighting with magic—and today you only have a headache, you should be secretly happy!"

"Didn't I have Qi Luo's help back then?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.

"Qiluo is helping, but her magic is also being transmitted through you!" Zijin laughed even harder, her silvery voice echoing in the carriage. "You're essentially bearing the magical pressure of both of them at the same time!"

Both sides are powerful figures in magic, with Su Ming in the middle...

"So I'm just the filling between two compressed biscuits!" He finally understood why he felt so uncomfortable.

“You still lack common sense.” Zi Jin stopped laughing and came behind Su Ming. “It’s good. A small lesson can lead to a deeper understanding. Otherwise, if you had been facing Abigail at his peak at that time, you would have been in big trouble.”

Su Ming was also somewhat helpless. He often learned from his mistakes that he shouldn't have done things that way.

This has nothing to do with whether or not one comes to another world.

Slightly cool fingers touched his temples, and Su Ming was taken aback, only to find that the girl was actually rubbing his head.

“Hey…” Su Mingxiang turned her head, but Zi Jin forcefully turned it back to her.

"I'll eat your candy and give you a massage—isn't that a good deal?"

"It's just a piece of candy."

Zijin released her grip. "Since that's the case—"

"No, please continue!" Su Ming quickly changed his mind.
