Jiang Xia looked at the cat that flew over and hit the smoke: "..."
He lifted the flapping cat ghost away and looked down at the cigarette in his hand.
After being hit by the fog dog just now, the cigarette paper turned from white to black, and there was a wing pattern on the cigarette butt.
But now, after hitting the cat, the paper roll also changed from white to black, and the extra one on the cigarette butt became a simple cat paw print.
Jiang Xia looked at the smoke, then at the humanoid ghost next to him, and sighed.
Before, he was worried that something strange would be synthesized. Now it seems that he is simply overthinking it - humanoid ghosts seem unable to combine with this strange new smoke.
Although it is not in line with the expected purpose of the experiment. However, it was done...
Jiang Xia stared at the burning smoke for a moment, then cautiously approached and took a small puff.
The paper shikigami flew out, and an immediate change occurred on his body - the surrounding sounds suddenly became clear, and he even heard the tiny crawling sound of insects on the wall outside.
…
Jiang Xia briefly adapted to her new senses.
Then I remembered something, raised my hand and touched the top of my head, and found, as expected, a pair of standing ears.
"..." He lowered his hand and touched his face again, feeling normal human skin.
When I looked down, I saw that the body was still a normal human body. The only thing that was wrong was probably the extra cat ears.
Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a human head and a cat body, or a cat head and a human body..."
In the past, he often went out to patrol the streets in a cat vest, and he accepted the changes well. And this time, he was well prepared, and was not as shocked as when he suddenly found a pair of wings behind him.
However, some ghosts seem to be unable to accept this.
The mermaid swung its tail, swam next to Jiang Xia, turned around and looked at his head.
After a moment, she looked at the pair of cat ears with a look of disgust, turned around and drifted away.
But just after floating far away, a long tail curled up, crossing a shadow in the air. The tip of the tail hooked, trapping the mermaid around the waist, and pulled it back to Jiang Xia's eyes.
"!!" The mermaid was startled. After regaining consciousness, she flapped her tail angrily and protested.
"Increase hearing and smell, plus a tail that makes it easier to catch fish..." Jiang Xia muttered, and the tip of her tail suddenly went numb. When she looked back, she saw the mermaid baring its teeth, holding the tip of its tail and biting hard.
"..." What a violent fish. Jiang Xia changed her words perfunctorily, "Okay, a tail that is convenient for maintaining balance."
...In addition, there seems to be something else.
…
Jiang Xia ignored the flapping fish. He took advantage of the effect of the "Cat Brand Cigarette" to look down at his hand.
They are still a pair of normal human hands, and they look no different from usual.
Jiang Xia stared at her fingers, studied them for a moment, and then followed her intuition and flicked her wrist.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of my eyes, and several sharp shadows flashed across.
When he stopped, he saw five sharp claws on his fingertips - transparent and slightly curved blades, attached to his fingers like an exoskeleton and extending out from the joints.
With a slight flick of the finger, the light from the bedside lamp slid over the edge of the blade, the cold light blowing and breaking the hair.
Jiang Xia: "!"
He admired this strange new weapon against the light, then plucked out a piece of hair with his other hand, placed it across the claw blade, and blew hard.
Her hair was bent by the wind, slipped between the two claw blades, and fell to the ground faintly.
"..."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment.
Then, as the ghosts watched curiously, he said calmly: "...Normally, the cat's claws are actually only sharp at the tip, so they cannot be used as knives."
The ghosts seemed to understand, but they looked up at Jiang Xia's expression and nodded one after another with a strong desire to survive.
…
After Jiang Xia had fooled the ghost, he lowered his head and looked at the cool claw knife in his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, I felt that what I just said actually made sense - the claws looked very powerful, so they couldn't really be just for decoration.
After thinking for a while, he got up without giving up, went down to the kitchen, rummaged around in the deserted kitchen, and brought out a pressing stone.
This was a stone he brought back when he went to the flower and bird market to buy potted plants. He saw a pair of stones and brought them back. He originally planned to use it to press the vat when making pickles, but because he could go to the next door to buy potted plants, he was too lazy to make his own pickles, and has never done so until now.
Not used.
But now, this stone has other uses.
Jiang Xia flicked her wrist and popped out the claw knife that she had just put away. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she raised her hand to stab it.
There was a muffled sound, and the five sharp claws penetrated the stone easily like piercing tofu.
When he took his hand back, there were several transparent holes in the hard bluestone.
"..." Wonderful.
Jiang Xia weighed the stone, felt its hardness, and estimated the power of the new weapon, and felt comfortable.
Just as the effect of that puff of cigarette disappeared, the non-human parts of the body turned into shikigami again and flew back to the seal space.
Jiang Xia glanced at the burnt cigarette in his hand with admiration, put away the mist it produced, and put it into the pattern space for storage. The ash was shaken into the trash can.
Finally he disposed of the stone, washed his hands, and returned to the bedroom.
…
Originally, it was already bedtime for healthy people.
But Jiang Xia remembered the wonderful equipment she had just acquired, and couldn't sleep after thinking about it. Finally, she got up and caught Noah, who was trapped in a puddle.
He lit a stick of ordinary ghost mint to try to create that peculiar "white mist".
However, after researching for a long time, I failed to succeed in the end - this kind of "mist" with murderous aura as raw material seems to have to go through a set of complex operations to operate the consciousness space before it can be successfully separated. Just ordinary feeding failed to reach Jiangxia
For the desired effect, if you feed a whole cigarette, Noah will still be a crystal ball with no impurities inside.
"Forget it, I'll try again when I have a chance..."
After struggling for a long time with no results, Jiang Xia finally gave up.
He carefully put away the remaining two "White Mist" cigarettes, gave up research for the time being, turned off the light and went to sleep.
…
After playing the game, the high school students all quickly fell asleep.
But on the other side of the bustling city, some people couldn't sleep at all.
…
Residential area near Toto University.
In a dark apartment, Subaru Okiya walked around silently, occasionally peeking out through the cracks in the curtains, waiting with bated breath for something.
After a while, there was a sudden noise on the balcony.
"!" Subaru Okiya held a gun unskillfully and looked over it warily.
When he saw the person coming clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up and he waved silently over there: Mr. Akai!
…
Akai Shuichi avoided the apartment and surrounding surveillance cameras and entered his accomplice's home.
He quickly checked the room and found no eavesdropping equipment, so he stopped and turned to Subaru Okiya.
