The moment the last stroke of ink was applied.
The effects of rune possession are immediate.
Qianyu felt a chilling coldness rush up her calves and straight to her brain.
He immediately realized that his consciousness had suddenly connected to a huge local area network.
Chiba could even clearly sense the ninjas lurking in every shadowy corner of the palace.
We've got supreme control of the Ghost Legion.
With a thought, Qianyu issued a summoning command from the spot.
In a dimly lit corner of the library, three thick, black shadows suddenly swelled and rose from the cracks in the floor tiles.
Immediately afterwards, three ghostly ninjas, their bodies shrouded in black bodysuits and their eyes glowing crimson, emerged from the shadows in various corners and knelt steadily on the floor in the center of the room.
"oops!"
Seeing the personal guards, who could only be ordered by the master, suddenly appear here, the old man quickly distanced himself from them.
"Oh dear! This has nothing to do with Dad! I didn't touch the book!"
However, the few ghostly ninjas kneeling on one knee didn't even glance at their father.
They were like a group of emotionless machines, heads bowed, silently waiting for Qianyu to give instructions.
Qianyu flicked her wrist and issued the first command.
"Stop standing there in a daze. Split up and find all the extraction spell formulas for the Twelve Stripping Symbols recorded in this library."
Qianyu pointed to the mountains of bookshelves around her, speaking very quickly.
"Once found, immediately gather the necessary magical materials and begin the process on the spot."
Upon receiving the order, several shadowy ninjas instantly transformed into several black afterimages and began ransacking the place with unprecedented efficiency.
Just as Qianyu was about to pull over a chair to sit down and rest for a while, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly froze.
Within seconds of giving the order, he keenly sensed a feeling of loss of control coming from within his body.
Qianyu lowered her head.
On his arms, where his skin had been fair, wisps of black mist began to rise uncontrollably.
The black mist resembled living tentacles, spreading outwards along the pores.
Qianyu instantly understood what was going on.
This is a side effect of forcibly summoning a ninja using the Tara tattoo.
In the original story, Xiaoyu gradually turned evil after getting this tattoo, and it took her several days to become the Shadow Queen, which can be considered an assimilation process.
The reason why Xiaoyu didn't feel anything at first was simply because, as an ordinary human girl, her magical power was too weak to feel the subtle dark erosion brought about by the Tara tattoo.
Qianyu, on the other hand, possessed an exceptionally strong foundation in magic, and his physical body had already been thoroughly cleansed by light energy and various magical elements countless times.
The moment this pure dark power entered the body, it immediately triggered a violent rejection reaction.
His body was resisting this force, but the tattoo, acting as a conduit, was constantly pouring it in.
Two forces are fighting within the body, and the byproduct is this constantly overflowing black mist.
Qianyu couldn't let this black energy ferment within her body, otherwise, before she could even leave, she would be devoured by it and turned into a mindless monster.
Knowing that this black aura could not linger, Qianyu immediately issued an additional order to the ghostly ninjas who were busily moving among the bookshelves.
"Wait, while we're finding out the extraction spell, we also need to find out the formula for the special solvent that can remove Tara's tattoo. At the same time, prepare the ingredients and boil them. We need to be quick!"
The ninjas who received this dual-mission order had no questions.
Like tireless, precise machines, they immediately divided the work and carried out Qianyu's instructions with utmost precision.
Some continued searching for books on the ladder, while others carried the books they had found and hurried toward the alchemy table deep inside the room.
Chapter 183 The Four Begin Their Actions
The old man, who was sitting next to the bookshelf, rubbed his eyes as he watched this scene, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
What exactly is going on?
How could a bodyguard, who is clearly the master's personal guard, be so obedient to an outsider?
At this moment, Qianyu had no time to pay attention to his father's shock. He was concentrating on suppressing the black energy that was running rampant in his body and trying to backfire.
Fortunately, the ninjas under Tara's command were indeed highly efficient.
Less than five minutes had passed.
A ninja jumped down from the top of the bookshelf, holding a dusty, tattered parchment book, and opened it in front of Chiyu.
The document details the preparation method of the extraction solution that can strip away the power of the Holy Force.
Immediately afterwards, another ninja pulled out a yellowed booklet from a pile of junk. It contained the formula for the solvent used to remove Tara's tattoo.
The remaining ninja somehow produced two black cauldrons and placed them on the ground.
Qianyu nodded.
"Alright, let's start brewing the potion according to the ingredients listed above."
Under the ninjas' actions, the library was turned upside down, and all sorts of strange bottles and jars were scavenged from the shelves, hidden compartments, and even cracks in the ceiling, and neatly stacked on the long table.
It contains a range of nauseating materials, such as dried bat wings and highly venomous lizard tails.
Then flames began to lick the bottom of the black crucible, and the gurgling sound of bubbles echoed in the quiet library.
The old man, who was standing next to the bookshelf, had originally been determined not to get involved.
But as the ninjas lit the fire and started throwing herbs haphazardly into the pot, Dad's ingrained occupational hazard kicked in.
He watched with a twitching eye as a ninja prepared to throw in a handful of unground snake scales. Finally, unable to contain himself, he rolled up his sleeves, pushed aside a ninja blocking his way, and did it himself.
"Oh no, no!! The snake scales have to be ground into powder to activate their medicinal properties! And the heat is too high! If you don't want the whole pot of soup to explode, you'll have to let Dad do it."
While shouting and yelling, the old man snatched the grinding pestle directly from a shadowy ninja.
The ninjas glanced back at Chiyu, and seeing that she didn't object, they stepped aside from the control panel and waited on either side.
"And this, dried salamanders are supposed to be ground counter-clockwise three times and then clockwise once. Who taught you to grind them clockwise?"
With the combined efforts of the father and several highly efficient ninjas, the two pots of medicine were ready in just ten minutes.
"alright."
The old man straightened up and scooped up a spoonful of green liquid with a copper spoon.
The viscous liquid dripped from the spoon, each drop creating a ripple of fluorescent light as it fell into the crucible.
In another small pot next to it, the tattoo remover was almost ready.
The color is purplish, and the texture is much thinner than the extraction solution. It fills the bottle perfectly.
Chiyu took the bottle, but instead of splashing it on her own legs, she handed it to a ninja waiting beside her.
"Take this and keep an eye on me. Once you see that I'm about to succumb to this black energy, and my eyes start to turn red or I lose my mind, immediately splash this solvent onto the tattoo on my leg, understand?"
The ninja accepted the glass bottle with both hands and nodded respectfully.
After securing the safety measures, Qianyu turned to look at the other large crucible.
Meanwhile, the old man stood in front of the pot of dark green extract, fanning away the smell with his hand, his eyes full of suspicion.
“Young man, this thing is just a pot of boiled grass roots. Are you really sure it can remove the talisman from the Holy Lord’s body?”
Qianyu didn't waste any words; she answered with her actions.
He stepped forward and dipped his right hand into the pot of green extract solution.
When he pulled his hand out again, a layer of shimmering green light had appeared on the surface of his palm.
Qianyu raised her hand and explained to her father beside her.
"With this magical coating, my hands can penetrate the Holy Lord's skin as easily as penetrating water, and retrieve the runes from his body."
The moment Qianyu finished speaking.
The library door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Jackie Chan and Jade, who had just finished serving the Holy Lord his lunch, burst in, panting.
"Thank God, you're here!"
Xiaoyu spotted Qianyu standing in the center of the room at a glance, ran over with a look of lingering fear, and began to complain loudly.
"Brother Qianyu, where did you go! We just went back to that storage room and found it empty, with only a bunch of broken brooms left. I thought you'd been captured by the Holy Lord's green dragon guards for some extra food!"
Jackie Chan, who was following closely behind, looked terrified.
He was so frightened by the sight of the shadowy ninjas filling the room and the large crucible emitting a pungent odor that he almost ran away.
Qianyu quickly patted Xiaoyu's head to reassure her that she was safe and sound.
He then pulled Xiaoyu to the crucible that was emitting a green light, briefly explained the principle and purpose of extracting the solution, and briefly recounted the whole story.
"You're going to take the talisman out while it's asleep?!"
"right."
"When should we make our move?"
"Wait until it falls asleep."
Xiaoyu, who had been feeling nauseous and gagging after spending the whole afternoon cutting her toenails, became so excited after hearing about the plan that her eyes lit up.
"This is absolutely awesome! Brother Qianyu, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
Qianyu nodded in agreement.
However, before taking any action, Qianyu glanced at Jackie Chan, who was still somewhat hesitant, and her father, whose face clearly said, "I don't want to cause trouble."
He and Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, and the two immediately pressed their advantage, launching into a high-intensity verbal attack.
This aligns with the deep-rooted sense of justice in both Jackie Chan and his father's soul.
They successfully replicated the classic awakening scene from the original work.
