Chapter 558: Chapter 266 What Mission
"Ah! You actually asked for it yourself... This, this... I’m a bit confused, I need to go back to my room and rest."
Second Sister covered her head with her hands, looking utterly confused and extremely adorable, her expression showing bewilderment.
Without waiting for Fang Yu’s reaction, as if she dared not look at him, she hurriedly left the hall and walked outside.
Her manner suggested that she had forgotten she had said just that morning that she wanted him to accompany her to Baoan Temple.
Fang Yu looked puzzled.
What’s wrong with Second Sister?
Why does it feel so strange?
He looked down at the small box on the table, bewildered.
Could it be that Second Sister’s odd reaction had something to do with this thing?
When he opened the box and looked inside.
Fang Yu was immediately taken aback.
Inside the box was a dirty rag that looked like it hadn’t been washed in over ten years.
It was pitch-black and covered in dirt, utterly disgusting to look at, but oddly enough, though it was so dirty, it didn’t emit any foul odor.
Even so, it was still just a rag!
Fang Yu: ???
When I put a question mark, it’s not because I have a problem, it’s because you have a problem!
Hei Ao, what the hell are you up to!
Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
What on earth is this thing.
Is this, supposedly the legendary Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling??
Even though Fang Yu had never seen what a Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling looked like, this disgusting lump, like a torn rag from home, obviously didn’t seem like anything respectable at first glance.
After thinking, Fang Yu still picked up the black dirty rag from the box with the nails of his two fingers, disdainfully, to see what it was all about.
As the rag was slowly lifted, Fang Yu eventually made out what this rag really was.
It was a severed sleeve.
As if cut from some garment, a section was placed in the box.
And the cut-off part was simply a sleeve.
Fang Yu suddenly understood why Second Sister had reacted that way.
Damn, Hei Ao, you really know how to choose.
Sending this of all things.
Fang Yu didn’t believe for a second that Hei Ao had some special preference.
He guessed that the guy had casually picked a Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling to send over, not even noticing what he had grabbed, just a dark lump.
Fang Yu’s face turned slightly ugly.
At least, the object should be a real Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, Hei Ao wouldn’t go as far as to trick him.
Looking into the almost empty box, apart from the lump of black rag, there was also a note left behind.
Fang Yu put the rag to the side and picked up the note to read.
The handwriting on it was relatively fresh, apparently written not long ago.
Wait a minute! This paper... it seems like it’s from home.
Second Sister is thrifty, she had moved all kinds of things like paper and inkstone from the old house, Fang Yu remembered them.
What’s going on, Hei Ao came here, couldn’t wait, left the thing behind, wrote something on the paper, and then ran off?
Mostly he had also instructed Second Sister to hand it over to himself, and opening the box was necessary for this operation, which is why Second Sister saw the contents?
Otherwise, given Second Sister’s nature, she wouldn’t tamper with his stuff.
Fang Yu guessed the cause and effect.
He unfolded the note to read.
It said...
"Diao Deyi, after I went back last night, I consulted with the elders at home."
"A Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling is an object used to break Evil Qi. It is an essential item for venturing into a Land of Gathering Evil. Without such items, one should not approach places with dense Evil Qi as a living person."
"I don’t know where you got the information and what dangerous Land of Gathering Evil you plan to adventure into. I advise you to give up on that idea, those places are not for the likes of us to venture close to... But, if you truly intend to leave, leave me a message, I will notify Zuo Lu and see you off on your last journey. Lastly, take good care of the [soul clothes: severed sleeve], and don’t let it fall into the wrong hands, or else our Hei Family will take action to retrieve it. —— Left by Hei Ao."
This guy, his words are so inauspicious!
Fang Yu’s mouth twitched slightly.
What’s all this about, this guy must have misunderstood something.
What dense land of Evil Qi resentment, I just have too much Evil Qi in my body, it’s about to overflow, I need to deal with it soon, or it won’t be good for killing people.
Hei Ao’s letter didn’t mention how to use this Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, making Fang Yu slightly frown.
The item should be genuine, but how to use it?
Fang Yu wondered, surely it’s not meant to be eaten...
Looking at that thing so dirty with grime, Fang Yu felt nauseous.
Eating it seems impossible, mainly because Fang Yu found it difficult to swallow even if it were clean.
Could it be... worn?
Just as Fang Yu was about to give it a try, he suddenly felt something from his body slowly emerging and gathering towards the injured [soul clothes: severed sleeve].
What is this feeling?!
[System prompt: Detected player making contact with [Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling], Evil Qi slightly reduced.]
The system responded?!
A flash of joy crossed Fang Yu, he was on the right track.
So just by touching the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, it starts to take effect?
This convenient?
It can’t be, otherwise wouldn’t everyone just randomly touch objects to see if they are Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling? But there aren’t many in Tianyuan Town who even know what a Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling is.
Fang Yu felt that this feature could possibly be one of the player’s special privileges?
Of course, it could also be that he was overthinking it.
After all, the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling would only trigger a response if there was Evil Qi present.
Without Evil Qi, touching it wouldn’t do a thing, no matter how long.
[System prompt: Detected player making contact with [Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling], Evil Qi slightly reduced.]
The system prompt popped up again.
At the same time, Fang Yu also felt the Evil Qi within him being drawn out as if by something, the Qi becoming increasingly heavy.
