The crackling sounds came one after another.
It seemed that someone was fighting outside.
Niannian and Shen Weixun exchanged a glance and decided to go out and take a look.
Xiaotuanzi turned to the girl beside her and said, "Sister, it's not safe here now. You'd better not move around. We're going out to find someone."
After saying that, Niannian and Shen Weixun directly walked out of the storage room door.
They didn't give the girl any extra time to react.
She was just an insignificant person anyway. They had already told her not to move around and stay in place. If she didn't listen and ran out and something happened to her, it could only be blamed on her own recklessness.
The corridor outside was a bit dark.
Only the green emergency exit lights were still on.
The two of them carefully inched forward, trying to figure out the source of the fighting sounds.
It seemed to be...
Outside the window?
Niannian was a bit confused.
They were currently on the sixth floor, and there was nothing outside the window. How could there be people fighting outside?
Out of curiosity, Niannian came to the window and craned her neck to look out.
There, she saw a young man about twenty years old, wearing a white ancient - style robe and holding a long sword, standing on the top platform of an elevated vehicle.
In front of him were four or five paper figures dressed as bodyguards in black suits.
The white - robed man exuded an air of killing intent. His face was cold, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
He formed seals with both hands and murmured something.
Suddenly, the moonlight seemed to become brighter. A silver beam of light descended from the sky, converging in his palm and coiling around his long sword.
At the same time, the black - suited figures lunged forward menacingly.
Niannian was seeing for the first time how powerful these paper figures made by paper - makers were.
Although they were just thin paper, after being reshaped by the paper - maker, they seemed to become as hard as steel.
When the long sword struck them, it made crackling sounds, and the black - suited figures only suffered minor injuries.
Although the white - robed man couldn't kill these paper black - suited figures immediately, he wouldn't be hurt by them either.
The person controlling the elevated vehicle on the ground seemed to be in great harmony with the white - robed man.
No one knew how they communicated, but the platform the white - robed man was standing on could always precisely avoid the attacks of the black - suited figures.
Niannian thought for a while and then guessed that the white - robed man was also from the mysterious arts world.
He was probably using the power of the moon.
The sun and the moon were the two most powerful natural yin - yang forces in the natural way of heaven, but there were not many people who could mobilize their power.
The white - robed man was probably of an extremely yin constitution.
He had a certain connection with the moon, so he could specifically practice the art of using the power of the moon.
It was a bit interesting.
The white - robed man refreshed Niannian's impression of people from the mysterious arts world.
This man was very powerful, more powerful than anyone she had seen at the previous mysterious arts exchange conference.
It turned out that there were such powerful sorcerers in the world.
Not all of them were like the Hu family.
"Big brother, what you're doing is useless. There are souls in the bodies of these paper figures. Most of them were captured by the paper - maker and forcibly stuffed into the paper figures. The paper - maker controls the ghosts, and the ghosts control the paper figures. If you want to deal with them, you must get the souls out."
Unable to hold back her impatience, Niannian opened the window and shouted to the white - robed man outside.
The man clearly heard her words, but he only frowned slightly and didn't make any response.
He didn't even change his fighting strategy.
Xiaotuanzi blinked her eyes, not understanding why the big brother didn't react at all.
Did he think the method she gave was wrong?
Well...
Since the big brother didn't believe her, she would test it out for him herself.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend.
Niannian had seen quite a few such paper figures.
They were all created by the Holy Cult.
Since the big brother was fighting these paper figures, he should also be someone who wanted to deal with the Holy Cult.
It wouldn't hurt to help him.
Niannian took out a few blank talismans from her small satchel.
In the previous encounters with paper figures, she had felt rather powerless. After going back, Xiaotuanzi had specially developed a kind of talisman that could directly destroy the souls of paper figures.
The principle was very simple. It was a modification based on the thunder talisman.
The power of the thunder talisman was weakened and concentrated on one point.
In this way, the lightning power contained in the thunder talisman would become an extremely thin line and drill into the paper figure through the gaps.
Once it got inside, when it encountered the yin energy, the concentrated and reduced lightning power would explode.
The ghost inside definitely couldn't withstand such a close - range encounter with the thunder.
However, this thing was only useful against paper - makers and had no use in other situations.
Niannian hadn't drawn it in advance.
But drawing a talisman on the spot wasn't difficult either. Xiaotuanzi held her breath, with a serious look on her little face. She picked up the brush and quickly wrote on the paper.
In just a moment, the talisman was drawn.
When she finished writing, the talisman paper emitted a faint white light.
She picked up the talisman paper and threw it at the black - suited figure closest to her.
Today was the first time she was testing the power of her innovative talisman.
Seeing the talisman paper stick steadily on the paper figure, Xiaotuanzi watched intently, afraid of missing any details.
The paper figure didn't notice that something was stuck on it at all and still rushed towards the white - robed man recklessly.
After about thirty seconds.
The black - suited figure with the talisman paper on it suddenly exploded on the spot with a purple light.
The power of the explosion wasn't small. The white - robed man wasn't far from the black - suited figure and was thus affected.
The electric current touched his skin, making his whole body go numb.
The tingling and itchy feeling rushed straight to the top of his head, and even his hair stood on end.
Seeing this, Niannian stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
Oops, she had miscalculated.
There was a bit too much lightning power in the talisman. It was really embarrassing to have affected an innocent person.
"Sorry, big brother. I didn't mean to. I'll draw another one."
Xiaotuanzi was a good child who could admit her mistakes.
She quickly slightly reduced the power of the talisman and drew another one.
The white - robed man was originally about to get angry, but when he turned around and saw Niannian's sweet smile and cute face, all his anger disappeared.
He thought to himself that it was his own fault for not dodging in time, so he accidentally got touched by the lightning.
It was just a simple electric current passing through his body and wouldn't cause any substantial harm to his body.
The kid was just being kind - hearted and accidentally affected him.
However...
Being able to draw a talisman so skillfully on the spot, this little kid was quite powerful.
The white - robed man developed a fondness for her talent and was even less willing to care about Niannian's unintentional mistake just now.
Just as he concentrated again.
The black - suited figure rushing towards him exploded directly less than a meter in front of him, just like the previous one.
Once again affected by the electric current.
The white - robed man felt all the hairs on his body stand up.
When he opened his mouth, a puff of black smoke slowly came out.
Niannian stared at this scene in stunned silence.
What was going on?
Hadn't she already reduced the power of the talisman?
