335. Chapter 331 New 0305 Sea Sand Under the Pearl
Once the subconscious invisibility is discovered, it cannot be used on the same target a second time in a short period of time. Therefore, when Li Mengnan took off his phone, the magical scallop was already lying quietly in his hand like an ordinary scallop.
Animals that become monsters can use illusions to a certain extent, but Li Mengnan did not think that the scallop in his hand had evolved from ordinary shellfish into a monster.
The reason is very simple. If you want to become a monster, you must have a sufficiently developed brain or similar organ. The physiological structure of shellfish is too simple. Even a thousand-year-old deep-sea shellfish cannot evolve into a monster without special adventures.
Demon.
Then the only possibility is that there is something else in this scallop that can cause it to perform illusions.
Li Mengnan took out the "Batulu" knife he carried with him and pried open the hard shell along the slit of the scallop. Sure enough, a small ball with a soft pearlescent color was embedded in the soft flesh of the scallop.
"Pearl? No, not pearl..."
The main component of pearls is nacre, which is an organic gemstone with relatively simple ingredients. It has no ability to interfere with brain waves. What really works is what is wrapped in the pearl.
Li Mengnan carefully used the blade of a knife to scrape off the pearl powder on the surface layer by layer. After a while, a light sea blue, translucent luster like sapphire was revealed from below the pearl layer.
"Misered Haisha? Should I buy a lottery ticket..." Li Mengnan could hardly believe his eyes.
Sea sand is an extremely peculiar and rare mineral in the ocean. It usually exists in the form of very fine sea sand. Due to its heavy unit volume, it is generally difficult to be washed ashore by sea water. It is usually only accidentally washed ashore by fish, shellfish and other marine life.
If swallowed accidentally, it may appear on land through salvage.
The Mysterious Sea Sand is one of the few minerals in nature that can naturally produce a phantom force field. Generally, as long as there is a diameter of about one millimeter of the Mysterious Sea Sand, it can produce a phantom force field that is enough to erode the mental barriers of ordinary people.
Many so-called "curses of ancient tombs" are actually caused by the accidental mixing of sea sand into the building materials or funerary objects during the construction of these ancient tombs.
For example, the diameter of the Mysterious Sea Sand in Li Mengnan's hand is almost four millimeters in diameter. This can no longer be called "Mysterious Sea Sand". It can be called "Mysterious Sea Stone". The intensity of the illusory force field produced is so high that
It's even a little bit higher than the thunder-tempered wood crystal I got before.
It's a pity that although this Mystic Sea Sand is a top-quality illusion material that is no less than Thunder-Tempered Wood Crystal, Li Mengnan cannot directly use it to increase the strength of his illusion like Thunder-Tempered Wood Crystal.
The frequency of fluctuations emitted by each illusion material is different. If there is only one kind of material, he can also make use of it by adjusting the frequency of his own brain waves. But adding another kind of material will not only increase the amplitude, but
On the contrary, they will affect each other and reduce the original illusion effect.
Therefore, if Li Mengnan wants to use this lost sea sand to enhance his own illusions, he can no longer just embed it into the ring like the original thunder-tempered wood crystal. He must find a Qimen practitioner who is good at refining weapons to build a formation plate.
.
After stuffing the pearl containing the sea sand into the cigarette case and putting it close to his body, Li Mengnan simply washed his hands before opening the bathroom door and walking out.
Zhuang Jia was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror in front of the public sink outside. When she saw Li Mengnan coming out, she put away the lip gloss in her hand and said impatiently: "You are so slow to go to the toilet..."
"It's rare for someone to treat me to a free meal. I have to make some room in my stomach." Li Mengnan rubbed his belly and said with a grin.
"You're really gross."
Zhuang Jia rolled her eyes at Li Mengnan, turned around and walked in front, pretending not to recognize him.
Returning to the private room upstairs, everyone has already taken their seats.
Due to the large number of people coming, the hotel opened the sliding doors in the two private rooms and merged the two private rooms into one. However, the tables could not be merged like rooms and could only be divided into four tables.
Originally, Lan Fulai invited Minnie to sit at their table, but Minnie politely refused and, accompanied by Li Mengnan, sat at a table with relatively more girls.
It stands to reason that people of the same sex should repel each other, but maybe it's because Minnie's own conditions are so high that she can only be looked up to, or maybe because there's no threat when she's not around them, these former female classmates didn't show much hostility or rejection towards her, and they were friendly.
He pulled her to talk about the gossips and interesting stories between old classmates.
There were also some people who asked Minnie privately about Li Mengnan's identity, and showed great interest in this lucky boy who picked the class flower that year.
Regarding Li Mengnan's identity, Minnie could only speak vaguely. After all, she received too much attention in the class, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would gossip enough to check the authenticity of her words. However, her covert answer,
On the contrary, it cast a mysterious color on Li Mengnan beside him.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything useful out of Minnie's mouth, these girls simply decided to target Li Mengnan directly.
"Hey, handsome guy, tell us, how did you catch Minnie?"
"Why couldn't Minnie chase me first?" Li Mengnan asked with a smile.
Several girls at the table immediately exclaimed, asking Minnie if this was really the case. Minnie knew that Li Mengnan had committed the habit of showing off again, so she quietly rolled her eyes at him, smiled noncommittally at the girls, and then followed the table
There was another burst of yelling.
Li Mengnan subconsciously looked in the direction of the next table, and happened to meet Lan Fulai's gaze. Li Mengnan nodded to him pretending to be polite, and the other party also smiled, and his smile was obviously a little stiff.
"Sorry, I'm going out to rush the dishes and ask the chef to hurry up. You guys can talk first."
Lan Fulai stood up and apologized to everyone. Before leaving the private room, he quietly winked at a boy at the same table. The boy pretended to go to the toilet and followed him out.
Li Mengnan had been paying attention to Lan Fulai's movements. When he saw the other party sneaking away, he quietly popped out a piece of talisman paper cut into a butterfly shape from his hand.
The white talisman paper ignited an orange flame out of thin air under the table, and a black butterfly flew out from the scattered paper ashes, squeezed through the narrow door gap and followed Lan Fulai and the two.
This reconnaissance paper shikigami is not a valuable commodity and can only be used to monitor ordinary people in a small area. Qimen or warriors can easily detect its existence, so Li Mengnan does not feel distressed at all when using it.
The two of them came to the corner of the fire tunnel at the end of the corridor and looked around to confirm that no one was following. Lan Fulai asked the fat and round boy with a stern face: "Fat Liu, aren't you sure that Minnie doesn't have a boyfriend? That guy in the room?"
Where did this guy with the silk hair come from?"
The boy named Liu Fat scratched his head inexplicably and said in confusion: "It shouldn't be... A high school classmate of mine is also from Tunghai University Teachers College. Although Minnie and Minnie are not in the same major, they are in the same department. I asked him to help me before.
After careful investigation, Minnie does not have a boyfriend in school, and she always goes out alone."
"You mean, the so-called boyfriend next to Minnie is actually a fake?" Lan Fulai said in surprise.
"Boss, I don't rule out this possibility... You also know that at the beginning, almost all the boys in our class regarded Minnie as the girl of their dreams, but Minnie has never shown affection for anyone. This time she came to participate in the face of her old classmates.
At a party, there is no guarantee that someone will not be found to help her block the gun.
And haven’t you noticed that the man who claims to be Minnie’s boyfriend has a beautiful girl who follows him wherever he goes. I guess it’s possible that these two are a real couple, and Minnie is probably borrowing her best friend from college.
's boyfriend."
Fatty Liu has very strong analytical skills, and at least half of his previous guesses are correct.
"Fake boyfriend? Does Minnie hate me so much?" Lan Fulai started to worry about gains and losses.
"Boss, you're overthinking this. Minnie just doesn't want to be harassed by those hanging strings in our class... But who are you? A top student, tall, rich and handsome, a top student in the Business Administration Department of Shuimu University in Beijing. You can take charge directly after graduation.
A family business with tens of millions of assets, such good conditions are hard to find even with a lantern! If I were a girl, I would have to marry someone like you even if I was underpaying..."
"Get out of here, I won't disturb you!"
Fatty Liu pretended to be charming and winked, but Lan Fulai laughed and kicked him.
Fatty Liu smiled and twisted his waist as thick as a bucket to avoid the oncoming big feet, and said with a smile: "To be honest, boss, if you had a higher emotional intelligence and attacked Minnie earlier, I guess you two would have been the best by now.
They are a couple..."
Lan Fulai let out a long sigh, patted Liu Pang on the shoulder and said: "It can only be said that when I was young and ignorant, I actually believed that there was a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu was in the book. Now that the golden house has been given to me, Yan Ruyu can only
I worked hard for it... Fatty, now the plan has been completely messed up, what do you think I should do?"
"The current situation is really not easy to handle." Fatty Liu held up his plump double chin, his glasses flashed white for a moment under the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, quite like a wise man strategizing, "Minnie must not have thought of you before coming here.
I will pursue her. Now that the words have been spoken, she cannot easily change her words because of her face... The only thing you can do now is to let her know that you have a crush on her. Of course, the girl will definitely do it in front of so many acquaintances.
It’s hard to respond to you directly, so as the one who actively pursues you, you can definitely use some forceful tactics. Women like stronger men.”
"Strong measures?" Lan Fulai didn't quite understand what Fatty Liu meant, "You don't want me to forcefully kiss Minnie, right? Although that boyfriend may be a fake one, at least he is still a boyfriend in name only for now. If I
If you do this, it may be self-defeating..."
Although Lan Fulai's emotional intelligence is not as good as Liu Pang, who claims to have "watched countless women", his IQ is not low, so it can be logically concluded that the feasibility of this plan is not high.
"Boss, you don't have to worry about this. Just follow my arrangements. I have a way to make the impossible possible..."
Fatty Liu hooked Lan Fulai's neck with his legs and whispered something in his ear. The expression on Lan Fulai's face gradually changed from confusion to ecstasy, and he hit Fatty Liu hard on his chest, which was even plumper than a girl's.
With a punch, he said excitedly: "You still have many evil ideas! When I take over my family's company later, you will be my personal assistant! That's it, you go make arrangements!"
The two of them returned to the corridor arm in arm, unaware that a strange black butterfly flapped its wings lightly on the ceiling above their heads.
…
At the same time, in the private room on the second floor.
Li Mengnan cut off the mental connection with the paper god, gently stroked his chin that felt slightly rough, and pondered over and over in his mind what Lan Fulai and Liu Pang had just said.
Obviously, these two people have seen through the true relationship between Minnie and him, and are now brewing an evil plan against Minnie.
Well, at least in his mind, this plan was definitely evil.
It's a pity that the last conversation between the two was conducted in whispers. Li Mengnan couldn't hear the sound or see the mouth movements, so he had no way of knowing the specific content of the plan.
"It seems that we can only resort to tricks." Li Mengnan whispered to himself subconsciously.
However, he didn't find it troublesome. On the contrary, he was very interested. This party was too boring for him, and the "conspiracy" of the two people could just add some extra spice to him.
At any time, unknown challenges are the most interesting.
"what are you laughing at?"
Zhuang Jia had no acquaintances here, and was not interested in the so-called designer bags and cosmetics these girls talked about. Apart from drinking juice, she was just observing Li Mengnan. Although Li Mengnan's smile was very light, she was still keenly aware of it.
.
"What do you think I'm laughing at?" Li Mengnan asked.
"Who knows why you're smiling, but I feel like it's definitely not good - you're smiling too evilly."
Zhuang Jia looked at Li Mengnan with strange eyes, God knows who this bastard is thinking about again, as long as it's not him.
After five or six dishes were placed on the table, Lan Fulai asked the waiter to bring a box of white wine and several boxes of beer. After filling the glasses for everyone present, he stood up and made a toast in high spirits.
"Dear classmates, four years ago we raised a glass to express our farewell. Now let us raise a glass to celebrate our reunion again. Time makes us mature, but it cannot erase the deep friendship we have formed for three years as classmates..."
As expected of the class president and top student at that time, Lan Laifu's congratulations were so emotional that even Li Mengnan felt nostalgic for his junior high school days. Many girls with delicate emotions were even rushed by this speech.
Looking back on time, I shed tears of emotion.
After drinking the first glass of wine, it’s time for free play.
Although it is difficult to regain the friendship between classmates after four years of separation, familiar faces will always make people find their inner feelings and melancholy about their youth.
Nostalgia is human nature, it is the memory of the beautiful things we once had but can never find again.
The classmates told each other anecdotes that were known to everyone in the past or were only circulated among a few people. They toasted and drank and laughed away the innocent grievances of their youth. Alcohol became the best fusion agent at this moment.
Bringing these once young hearts together again.
"Come on, come on, Li Mengnan, right! Although you are not from our class, you picked the most beautiful flower in our class... Minnie is the dream girl of all the boys in our class, and you are ours now.
Public enemy! If you want us to recognize you, you must have a drink with each of us today! Come on, fill it up!"
Whether it was a sincere blessing or a deliberate joke, Li Mengnan unsurprisingly became the target of all the boys in the box at this moment. Whether it was liquor or beer, they poured wine into his glass as if they were free of charge.
Li Mengnan also refused to refuse anyone who came. No matter who poured the wine, he immediately opened his mouth and felt stuffy. His generous drinks constantly attracted bursts of applause.
"Li Mengnan, even if you are trying to block the gun for your sister, you don't have to fight so hard, right? You've already drunk a lot, be careful..."
Zhuang Jia was frightened by Li Mengnan's uninhibited drinking style. She had been checking on Li Mengnan since the beginning of the banquet. Although this guy didn't drink much beer, he drank at least three or four kilograms of liquor, which was basically the wine that was toasted by others.
She couldn't control Li Mengnan's health, but she was afraid that if this guy got drunk, no one would be able to protect her...
At this moment, Minnie was also drunk a lot of beer by the girls at the same table, but fortunately she was still somewhat conscious. She also leaned on Li Mengnan's shoulder and persuaded with drunken eyes: "Brother... that's about it, these bastards...
They are jealous of you and deliberately want to get you drunk...ignore them..."
"Haha, how can it be so easy for just a few Zhan Wushit to get me drunk?" Li Mengnan lowered his head slightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were clear again, and he quietly patted Zhuang Jia's elastic thigh under the table.
, whispered: "Go and throw the things in your bag somewhere where no one will find them. Today I want to make these war scumbags understand that there are risks in giving people alcohol..."
Zhuang Jia was stunned for a moment, then turned around and picked up her big satchel from the back of the chair, but suddenly she found that the satchel had become much heavier out of thin air. She put it on her lap and opened it. Unexpectedly, there were five or six fist-sized bottles filled with transparent wine inside.
Liquid contraceptive condoms.
Zhuang Jia finally understood why Li Mengnan had such a good drinking capacity this time. After working for a long time, this guy didn't drink at all. All the wine offered by others was stolen and put into her bag.
"You...how do you use this thing to hold wine?"
Zhuang Jia was ashamed and annoyed. She no longer cared much about how Li Mengnan completed the whole process of changing the day and night. All her attention was focused on the few spherical contraceptive condoms.
Even though it was filled with wine instead of suspicious white mucus, if someone discovered it, how could she, an inexperienced girl, tell it clearly...
"Chinese people have a bad habit. Once something happening around them is related to sex, their focus will shift inexplicably..." Li Mengnan shrugged indifferently. He knew that Zhuang Jia would definitely pay attention first.
He was a wine container, "Of course, you can choose not to throw it away, but I can't guarantee whether these...balloons...yes, they are balloons, will suddenly pop..."
"Asshole! You're so cruel!"
Zhuang Jia stomped her feet bitterly, picked up her bag and went out to help Li Mengnan throw the "balloons".
