Li Junfei was stunned upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yin Yang's calm expression and felt a sense of dread. Did this person have social anxiety? Why did he give off a feeling of being unapproachable, and with absolutely no manners.
But soon.
Thinking that the other person might be a acquaintance of Zhang Wei, Li Junfei grumbled inwardly but still put on a smile and said:
"Ying Yang? Your surname is Ying? Uncle, your name is so peculiar, it sounds like the Yin Yang from Yin Yang Bagua. And it's quite rare to have the surname Ying."
"My name is Yin Yang, the Yin Yang from Yin Yang Bagua."
Yin Yang glanced at Li Junfei, then slightly turned his head to look into the dormitory behind Li Junfei, wanting to know if Zhang Wei was there.
Unfortunately.
Besides Li Junfei, Zhang Wei was nowhere to be seen in the dormitory. He continued to ask:
"Hasn't Zhang Wei returned yet?"
Li Junfei was taken aback. He hadn't expected someone else to be named Yin Yang, and so chuunibyou. But he didn't have the energy to care. He frowned and looked at Yin Yang... Was this person really Wei Ge's acquaintance?
He could feel it.
The other person wasn't asking him, but rather interrogating him. This made him feel strange. Despite his doubts about Yin Yang's identity, faced with Yin Yang's questioning, Li Junfei instinctively answered. The other person's aura made him feel uneasy, prompting a primal response.
"No."
But as he responded, Li Junfei also asked:
"Are you Wei Ge's friend?"
"No, an enemy."
Yin Yang was very direct, even walking straight into the dormitory. He scanned the room and his gaze focused on a desk in one of the dorms, a desk filled with figurines.
"Are these toys called figurines?"
Yin Yang pointed at the figurines and asked, even reaching out to grab one.
Seeing this, Li Junfei could no longer afford to feel uneasy. He raised his hand to stop Yin Yang's action, his expression turning displeased:
"An enemy? Are you a ghost exorcist? What's wrong with you? Don't you know what manners are? Entering a dormitory without permission? Also, Wei Ge isn't here. If you want to cause trouble for Wei Ge, please leave."
Yin Yang's calm face showed surprise. He wasn't angry that Li Junfei stopped him from taking the figurine.
On the contrary.
He stared intently at Li Junfei:
"You know about ghost exorcists? What's your relationship with Zhang Wei?"
As he spoke.
Yin Yang suddenly shifted his gaze, his eyes falling on Li Junfei, who had become wary and was holding a figurine protectively in front of him.
To be precise.
His gaze fell on the figurine in Li Junfei's hand.
"What my relationship with Wei Ge is, is none of your business. He's my roommate. If you want to cause trouble for Wei Ge, I advise you to think twice. Wei Ge is now at the National Guardian level. Do you know about the Senluo Division? Wei Ge is someone even the Senluo Division is wary of. I advise you to think carefully before seeking revenge... Damn it! What are you doing!"
Li Junfei intended to use Zhang Wei's name to scare Yin Yang away, but the strange middle-aged man in front of him didn't care at all. After staring at him for a moment, he directly reached out to grab him.
Seeing this, Li Junfei instinctively thrust the figurine Zhang Wei had given him for protection towards Yin Yang's hand.
Instantly.
The moment Yin Yang's hand touched the figurine, he felt a tingling, electric shock, a prickly sensation spreading from his hand. Simultaneously, with the figurine as the focal point, he felt a transparent shield open up from it, protecting Li Junfei.
"Huh? What is this?"
Yin Yang was first stunned by the sudden change in the figurine, a feeling of curiosity rising within him:
"Is this Zhang Wei's method? Something enchanted? That doesn't seem right, is it a magic artifact?"
While Yin Yang was murmuring to himself, Li Junfei's scalp tingled. He looked at Yin Yang in astonishment:
"You can actually block the AT Field?"
Yin Yang was unaware of the figurine's nature, but Li Junfei knew it well. This was a figurine Zhang Wei had given him for protection, a Neon Genesis Evangelion figurine. Li Junfei was also aware of its power. Not long ago, when he was on a date with his married girlfriend, they encountered a red-clothed vengeful spirit.
Li Junfei had relied on the figurine to drive away the ghost then. He didn't even need to summon the figurine to manifest. He just needed to activate the AT Field of the Neon Genesis Evangelion figurine. Not only could the vengeful spirit not get close, but it was instantly crushed by the AT Field. For this, Li Junfei had shown off in front of his married girlfriend and was rewarded handsomely for the entire night.
However...
Now, the figurine's AT Field had blocked the attack, but the other party didn't seem to be seriously injured.
"Did Zhang Wei give this to you?"
Yin Yang ignored Li Junfei's surprise and directly questioned him. Then, he began to examine the figurine in Li Junfei's hand. As he looked closer, his calm face changed, revealing a look of curiosity:
"Interesting, what material is this magic artifact made of? Plastic material as the base for a magic artifact? First time seeing this."
"But its power is immense, reaching the Ghost King level."
"How was this achieved? A plastic base, why can it withstand the power of a Ghost King level magic artifact?"
"And what is this shield? A talisman? That doesn't seem right. First time seeing this kind of defensive magic artifact ability. What do you call this? AT Field? Is that the name of this magic artifact?"
Li Junfei looked strange. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the current Yin Yang was completely different from before. The previous Yin Yang was cold and unapproachable, lacking any ordinary human qualities. But now, it was different.
The current Yin Yang felt more like an ordinary person, like a figurine enthusiast whose face was filled with fervent adoration when seeing a figurine.
However.
Li Junfei didn't intend to answer Yin Yang's questions. He slowly regretted his actions. While holding the figurine to defend against Yin Yang, he reached into his pocket for his phone, preparing to call Zhang Wei for help.
Yin Yang subtly glanced at Li Junfei's other hand, clearly noticing Li Junfei's movement, but he had no intention of stopping him. He had come for Zhang Wei in the first place. If the young man in front of him could contact Zhang Wei to come over, that would be ideal.
"How exactly was this refined? Besides plastic, I can't discern any other refining materials, but why can it withstand the power of a magic artifact? I don't understand, interesting, very interesting."
While Li Junfei was discreetly calling Zhang Wei, Yin Yang looked back and forth at the figurine, showing no intention of approaching Li Junfei. They maintained their positions, one holding the figurine, the other looking at the figurine being held.
The only change was...
As time passed.
Yin Yang's curiosity grew stronger:
"Could it be that the gem on this magic artifact is bearing the power of the magic artifact? What kind of gem is this, a Ghost King bead?"
Yin Yang looked at the eyes of the Neon Genesis Evangelion figurine:
"...That doesn't seem right. This looks like glass. Amazing, truly amazing. How can ordinary plastic and glass withstand the power of a magic artifact? Is there some kind of formation or pattern carved inside? Yes, it must be like this."
"Can you take this magic artifact apart? I want to see its internal structure. I can tell that your magic artifact, called the AT Field, is detachable."
Yin Yang pointed to the screw locations on the Neon Genesis Evangelion figurine in Li Junfei's hand.
