Xiao Yao was calm and not frightened; but he felt that Old Dog Bai seemed to have been frightened until half of his life was lost. His palms, which were usually very hot, were a little cold.
It would be a lie to say that he was not impressed.
Bai Ju’s calmness in the past few days was shattered by Bai Ju’s original fur.
After closing his eyes, Xiao Yao reached out and hugged Bai Ju tightly, then pushed him and replied hoarsely: “Brother Bai, I’m fine.”
Bai Ju fearfully pulled the young human into his arms. He pressed his hand and ran his hands along the back of Xiao Yao’s neck, shoulders, waist and legs. He was relieved when he saw that there were really no signs of injury.
Xiao Yao was unable to do anything so he could only make fists with a blank expression and let him check.
Bai Ju didn’t let him go after the inspection. He lifted the person on his shoulders with his arms and jumped to the open space away from the billboard.
When they arrived at a safe place, Old Dog Bai put Xiao Yao in front of him and stopped hugging him. He held Xiao Yao’s hand and asked worriedly: “What’s going on? Is someone trying to harm you?”
Xiao Yao shook his head and said softly: “They are not trying to harm me.”
But this matter may have other origins… Without investigation, he could not give an accurate answer for the time being.
Xiao Yao shook Bai Ju’s hand and drew Old Dog Bai’s attention back to the incident itself: “We will talk about the development of the matter later… Now that everything has been suspended, will it have a big impact on you?”
Bai Ju heard this, raised his head and looked around, frowned and said: “Fortunately… the impact is not big.” The range of his control was a bit large, which was fine for him, but he was not sure how it would look in the modern warlock world.
Xiao Yao nodded when he heard this, and immediately said: “Brother Bai, please be steady again, and I will handle the scene.”
Bai Ju nodded, and then stepped back cooperatively to make it easier for Xiao Yao to take action.
Xiao Yao took out something like a pocket watch from his pocket, and when he pressed the button on the side, it unfolded into a compass.
The lines on the compass were quite complex, dotted with countless stars, forming a miniature star map; countless small lines were intertwined between the stars, and the star paths outlined were ever-changing.
It was a phantom star map.
In the warlock world, this kind of compass was generally used for divination, as well as for arranging illusions and dreams. There were many ways to operate it, but it was also quite precise. In the warlock world, except for a few old guys, only Xiao Yao could make it work. This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Yao was able to become the director of the Demon Management Bureau.
Xiao Yao wanted to hurry up and clean up this mess, so he directly manipulated the compass without saying anything to Bai Ju – tampering with the memory!
There were too many people present, so it was impossible to change them one by one; fortunately, the compass could be effective on people within a range, but the loss increased as the number of people increased.
According to Xiao Yao’s perception, at least the people and objects in the entire shopping mall had been stopped by Bai Ju, so except for the police who had not yet arrived, all witnesses were within this range.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and concentrated his palms on top of the astrolabe.
Countless stars lit up one after another in a specific order, driving the orchid’s trajectory to weave lies; the strange star map rose silently into the sky, disappeared in the air, and shrouded the outside of the shopping mall.
Three girls appeared in the central square… and they suddenly got into an argument.
The dispute attracted security guards and onlookers.
The safety rope and the fruit knife used to remove the poster fell out of the girl’s backpack… So someone called the police.
The police arrived, and one of the three people who happened to have an argument tripped to the ground, hit his head, and fell into a coma due to excessive movement.
….
Frowning, while trying to blur the illogical parts of the scene, Xiao Yao’s lips gradually turned white.
The illusion finally took effect.
Xiao Yao took back his hand, restored the compass to its appearance as a pocket watch, and used magic to restore and fix the billboard back to the roof. He also lifted the two girls on the rooftop who were responsible for holding the safety ropes to the ground, and then pulled Bai Ju to hide in a corner and let Bai Ju unfreeze everyone.
“Is this okay?” Bai Ju hesitated.
The objects of Xiao Yao’s illusions were all under Bai Ju’s control. Although Bai Ju was not affected, he roughly knew the content of Xiao Yao’s weaving. He couldn’t help but worry: “For ordinary people, it’s okay to say but those police officers who are on the way… What do you say?”
The police officers’ logic was mostly rigorous. Xiao Yao would definitely not be able to create traces of the three girls arguing and fighting when he restored the scene. As long as they paid careful attention, he would always show his flaws.
As for the incident, he didn’t witness the incident, so it was better to say…
Xiao Yao patted Bai Ju’s palm comfortingly, shook his head and explained in a low voice: “It’s okay. This is Luocheng, where the Demon Management Bureau’s headquarters is located. So, it is one of the places where demons gathered; for a city like Luocheng, all the leaders of the police system knew the existence of the Demon Management Bureau, and there was even a special service team responsible for criminal cases related to demons…
“A few girls over there in a while would be sent away, I’ll show my ID to the police, and they will know that the matter should be handed over to the special service team.”
Bai Ju nodded suddenly.
These human systems had much more complete preparations than he imagined, but he was just worrying needlessly about them.
Xiao Yao sorted out the situation and was worried about Bai Ju’s rash action this time; but when he turned around, he saw Bai Ju’s heart drop into his stomach, and for a moment he reminded him helplessly: “Don’t worry now. Suddenly freezing this large area of space may bring about very bad consequences.”
Bai Ju licked the tips of his teeth innocently, thinking that Xiao Yao was saying that the scene of frozen space was strange: “What consequences… freezing. The range will give the illusion of normal operation to the outside world, and it will also hint to the outside world that they should ignore this place. It was only for two or three minutes, so no one will notice it.”
Xiao Yao wanted to scold this stupid and sweet thousand-year-old single dog. Who was worried that the outside world would notice that the incident was strange? What he was worried about was that the old dog’s power range was too large and was not within the original estimate of the Demon Management Bureau. If it was exposed, it may put Bai Ju in a worse situation.
After holding back what he wanted to say, Xiao Yao finally came up with a relatively simple way of expressing it: “The power you expose will make the Warlock Association and the Demon Management Bureau think that you are uncontrollable.”
Freezing space was a high level technique that could be used by all high-level warlocks, but to freeze space at a top level like Xiao Yao, first of all, it required at least ten seconds of preparation time, and secondly, the limit was a freezing range of fifty meters in radius. In case there were too many people, this scope had to be greatly reduced.
In other words, Bai Ju, who froze the entire mall in an instant and even remembered to arrange deception around the perimeter, was basically the top of the pyramid and had the ability to completely crush the warlocks.
This was definitely not something that an ordinary powerful demon could do.
Just by looking at Bai Ju’s calm look, you could tell that the damage done to him by this spell was pitiful; it also proved that Bai Ju’s accumulated mana was extremely rich, and it also proved that Bai Ju’s power had almost completely exceeded the category of demons.
In the modern era when Shinto had declined, Bai Ju could still reach a state where he was only a thin line away from God.
Bai Ju understood his little guardian’s worries this time, and immediately smiled like a spring breeze: “It’s okay, only you know.”
After a pause, Bai Ju stared at his bare toes awkwardly, holding Xiao Yao’s hand tightly with his palm, and discussed with him: “Yao Yao… I don’t know what happened, aren’t we getting along?”
Xiao Yao was stunned: “…”
Seeing that he didn’t refuse, Bai Ju lowered his voice, gently shook Xiao Yao’s arm, and coaxed: “Come back home earlier every day…I will accompany you on official business, and I will also learn to cook for you.”
Old Dog Bai recalled the dark liberal arts course, and quickly added: “I have learned enough knowledge, and I can just go out with you in the future. I will handle the affairs of the Demon Management Bureau with you, and I can also start to discipline the little demons…”
– Can you stay with me?
All that was left to say was this straightforward statement.
A God, who loved to act coquettishly?
Xiao Yao covered his face in frustration, but he still liked this move – so he nodded and received a warm hug from Bai Ju.
Xiao Yao felt that the distance he had deliberately kept away from him before to clear his mind had dissipated into bubbles since Bai Ju had suddenly appeared.
To put it crudely, Xiao Yao felt like the Little Mermaid, which had been tortured while walking on the tip of a knife, but was relieved when she was exposed to the sun and turned into foam.
It dissipated willingly, vividly, and extremely happily.
Bai Ju was the sun, warm and deadly.
Xiao Yao had to admit that he didn’t have much immunity against Bai Ju. Every characteristic of this old dog hit the mark, and the taste was just right.
If you are tempted, be tempted, at least a day’s secret love can be earned… He didn’t expect to have a perfect love. At most, he could be whatever Bai Ju wanted.
….
Nothing went wrong again.
Xiao Yao contacted the police in time to explain the situation, and the fire vehicles did not appear in the mall again. The police officers warned the legendary “girls in strangleholds” and contacted the parents of the three confused girls and let the parents take the person back.
Regarding this, Bai Ju whispered to Xiao Yao with some doubts: “How come they have forgotten what they are here for? Logically speaking, their purpose of coming to the mall is also very special. After all, seeing the safety rope and… You should remember the fruit knife.”
Xiao Yao also leaned into his ear and whispered back to him: “The purpose of these girls is wrong.”
Xiao Yao pulled Bai Ju away and slowly explained to him: “Red Fox Qiu Ziran’s fans span a wide age range, so they are a mixed bag, and naturally there are also girlfriend fans and idiot fans. You don’t need to understand these fan types. In short, some fans are prone to extreme behavior for the benefit of their idols. This is not a good thing for both the actor himself and the red fox.”
“But although Qiu Ziran is in the entertainment industry, he is still a descendant of the fox clan. In order to be able to go all the way in the entertainment industry, the red fox had to give up his natural talent. The charm technique is reversed, and the fans outside the camera are sprayed every day, making them obedient and rational. Therefore, the reputation of Qiu Ziran’s fans in the entertainment industry is still quite good.”
“These people… The behavior is abnormal.” Xiao Yao said, “The things they choose to do are extreme and dangerous, but they cannot guarantee influence. If I were a crazy fan, I would rather gather my comrades and oppress people on the Internet every day, but I would not take such risks to do something.”
Bai Ju was stunned for a moment, feeling like the county government should be deciding the case: “You mean, they were ordered by others?”
Xiao Yao nodded: “Yes, I don’t know. Whether it’s a warlock… we have to leave it to the special service team to investigate. Brother Bai, you will know in the future that human beings today are even more cunning than before.”
Xiao Yao exhaled and added: “One can do anything. Warlocks who use magic can’t plan… Many times, ordinary people’s borrowed hands are better than their own, such as hiring people to destroy billboard brackets, or using hypnosis instead of illusion.”
“Until the truth is determined,” Xiao Yao nodded at the corner of his eye, “We can’t just believe what we see with our eyes.”
Bai Ju listened for a while, and when Xiao Yao finished speaking, he nodded thoughtfully, and then stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Yao’s hair and praised sincerely: “Yao Yao, you are so awesome.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Okay, my little brother is so awesome.
