Chapter 346: New The Misty Sea Sand Under the Pearl
Once the subconscious stealth is recognized, it is impossible to use it on the same target a second time in a short period of time, so when Li Mengnan removed the phone, the magical scallop was already lying quietly in his hand like an ordinary scallop.
Animals can use a certain amount of illusion when they become demons, but Li Mengnan does not think that the scallop in his hand has evolved from ordinary shellfish into a demon.
The reason is very simple, if you want to become a demon, you must have a sufficiently developed brain or similar organs, the physiological structure of shellfish is too simple, even if it is a thousand-year-old deep-sea shellfish, if there is no special adventure, it is impossible to evolve into a demon.
The only possibility, then, is that there is something else in the scallop that could make it magical.
Li Mengnan took out the "Baturu" knife he carried with him, pried open the hard shell along the gap of the scallop, and sure enough, a small round ball with a soft pearlescent color was embedded in the soft flesh.
"Pearls? No, not pearls......"
The main ingredient of pearls is nacre, which is only a relatively simple organic gemstone, and it is impossible to have the ability to interfere with brain waves.
Li Mengnan carefully scraped off the pearl powder on the surface of this small pearl with the blade of his knife, and after a while, a little light sea blue, sapphire-like translucent luster was revealed from under the nacre.
"Lost sea sand? Shouldn't I buy a lottery ticket......" Li Mengnan could hardly believe his eyes.
Lost sea sand is a very peculiar and rare mineral in the ocean, generally stored in the form of very fine sea sand, due to the heavy unit volume, it is generally difficult to be washed ashore by seawater, generally only accidentally swallowed by fish and shellfish and other marine organisms, it is possible to appear on land through guò salvage.
Lost sea sand is one of the few minerals in nature that can naturally produce an illusion force field, generally as long as there is a diameter of about one millimeter, it can produce an illusion force field that is enough to erode the spiritual barrier of ordinary people.
Many of the so-called "tomb curses" are actually the accidental mixing of sea sand in the building materials or burial goods of these ancient tombs during the construction of these ancient tombs.
And like the Lost Sea Sand in Li Mengnan's hand at the moment, the diameter is almost four millimeters, this can no longer be called "Lost Sea Sand", it can be called "Lost Sea Stone", and the strength of the illusion force field produced is so high that it is even a little higher than the Thunder Quenching Wood Crystal obtained before.
It's a pity that although this misty sea sand is not inferior to Lei Quenching Wood Crystal's best illusion material, Li Mengnan can't directly use it to increase his illusion strength like Lei Quenching Mujing.
The fluctuation frequency emitted by each illusion material is different, if it is only a single material, he can also adjust his own brain wave frequency to use it, but adding one more material, instead of continuing to increase, it will affect each other to reduce the original illusion effect.
Therefore, if Li Mengnan wants to use this misty sea sand to amplify his illusion, he can no longer be hastily embedded into the ring like the original Lei Quenching Wood Crystal, and he must find a Qimen cultivator who is good at refining weapons to build an array plate.
Stuffing the pearl containing the sea sand into the cigarette case and placing it close to his body, Li Mengnan washed his hands briefly before opening the bathroom door and walking out.
Zhuang Jia was outside touching up her makeup in front of the mirror in front of the public sink, and 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 white food, so I have to clear some room for my stomach." Li Mengnan rubbed his stomach and grinned.
"You're disgusting."
Zhuang Jia glanced at Li Mengnan, turned around and walked in front, pretending not to know him.
Back in the upstairs box, everyone was seated.
Due to the large number of visitors, the hotel opened the movable sliding doors in the two private rooms and merged the two private rooms into one large room, but the tables could not be combined like the rooms, and could only be divided into four tables.
Originally, Lan Fulai invited Minnie to sit at their table, but Minnie politely refused, and sat at a table with a relatively large number of girls accompanied by Li Mengnan.
It stands to reason that the same sex should be repulsive, but maybe Minnie's own conditions are so high that she can only be looked up to, or maybe because she is not around them and there is no threat, these former female classmates actually didn't show much hostility and rejection towards her, and kindly pulled her to talk about gossip and anecdotes between old classmates.
There are also many people who privately inquire about Minnie Mouse about Li Mengnan's identity, and they are quite interested in this lucky boy who picked the flowers of the year's class.
Regarding Li Mengnan's identity, Minnie Mouse can only be vague, after all, her attention in the class is too high, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will really gossip to verify the truth of her words, but her secretive answer has covered Li Mengnan beside her with a layer of mystery.
Seeing that nothing useful could be knocked out of Minnie's mouth, these girls simply hit Li Mengnan with their ideas.
"Hey, handsome guy, tell us how you got Minnie Mouse?"
"Why couldn't it be Minnie who chased me first?" Li Mengnan asked with a smile.
Several girls on the table suddenly exclaimed, asking Minnie if there was really such a thing, Minnie knew that Li Mengnan's stinky display had made a mistake again, so she quietly glanced at him, and smiled noncommittally at several girls, followed by a burst of shouting on the table.
Li Mengnan subconsciously looked in the direction of the adjacent table, just in time to meet Lan Fulai's sight, Li Mengnan pretended to be polite and nodded to him, and the other party also smiled, his smile was obviously a little stiff.
"I'm sorry, I'll go out to urge the dishes, let the kitchen hurry up, you guys talk first."
Lan Fulai got up and apologized to everyone, and before leaving the private room, he quietly glanced at a boy at the same table, who pretended to go to the toilet and followed him out.
Li Mengnan had been paying attention to Lan Fulai's movements, and when he saw the other party sneaking away, he also quietly popped out a piece of rune paper cut into the shape of a butterfly from his hand.
The white rune paper lit up an orange-yellow flame out of thin air under the table, and a black butterfly flew out of the scattered paper ash, squeezing through the narrow crack in the door to catch up with Lan Fulai and the two.
This reconnaissance-type paper god is not a valuable commodity, it can only be used to monitor ordinary people in a small area, if it is a Qimen or a martial artist, it is easy to detect its existence, so Li Mengnan is not distressed at all when he uses it.
The two came to the corner of the fire passage at the end of the corridor, and after confirming that no one was following, Lan Fulai asked the fat boy with a calm face, "Liu Fat, aren't you sure Minnie doesn't have a boyfriend?" Where did that sling-like kid in the room come from? ”
The boy named Liu Pang scratched his head inexplicably, puzzled, "It shouldn't be...... One of my high school classmates is also from the Normal College of Tunghai University, although he is not a major with Minnie Mouse, but in the same department, I asked him to help me investigate carefully, Minnie Mouse does not have a boyfriend in school, and he has always been alone. ”
"You mean, that so-called boyfriend next to Minnie is actually a fake?" Lan Fulai was stunned.
"Boss, I can't rule it out...... You also know that almost all the boys in our class regarded Minnie Mouse as their dream lover at the beginning, but Minnie Mouse has never shown a good impression of anyone, this time she came to the party in the face of her old classmates, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not find someone to help her block the gun temporarily.
And didn't you notice, the person who claimed to be Minnie's boyfriend, and there was a beautiful girl next to him, I guess it was likely that these two were a real couple, and Minnie was probably borrowing the boyfriend of her college best friend. ”
This Liu Fat's analytical ability is very strong, at least the first half of the speculation is correct.
"Fake boyfriend? Is Minnie that hated me that much? "Lan Fulai has some gains and losses.
"Boss, you're thinking too much about this, Minnie just doesn't want to be harassed by those slings in our class...... But who are you? Xueba, Gao Fushuai, a top student of the Department of Business Administration of Beijing Shuimu University, can directly take charge of a family business with tens of millions of assets after graduation, such a good condition is difficult to find with a lantern! If I were a girl, I would have to marry a ...... like you."
"Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't stir the base!"
Liu Pang pretended to be charming and threw a flattering look, and Lan Fulai laughed and scolded and kicked over.
Liu Pang grinned and twisted his bucket-like thick waist to avoid the oncoming big feet, and said with a smile: "To be honest, boss, if you could have a higher EQ and start with Minnie Mouse earlier, it is estimated that the two of you are already a couple now......"
Lan Fulai sighed embarrassedly, patted Liu Pang on the shoulder and said: "I can only say that I was young and ignorant, and I actually believed that there was a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book, and now that the golden house father gave it, Yan Ruyu can only work hard for it...... Fatty, now that the plan is completely messed up, what do you think I should do? ”
"It's really not easy right now." Liu Pang held his fat double chin, and his glasses flashed a moment of white light under the fluorescent lamp on the roof of the shed, which was quite a bit of a wise man, "Minnie Mouse definitely didn't expect you to pursue her before she came, but now that the words have been spoken, she can't change her words lightly because of her face...... Now the only thing you can do is to let her know that you have a crush on her, of course, it is definitely not good for a girl to respond to you directly in front of so many acquaintances, so as an active pursuer, you can use some tough means, women like stronger men. ”
"Heavy-handed?" Lan Fulai didn't quite understand what Liu Pang meant, "You don't want me to kiss Minnie Mouse, right?" Although that boyfriend may be fake, at least for now, it's still a nominal boyfriend, and if I do this, I'll be self-defeating......"
Although Lan Fulai's EQ is not as good as Liu Fat, who claims to "read countless women", his IQ is not low, and it is logically inferred that the feasibility of this plan is not high.
"Boss, you don't have to worry about this, just listen to my arrangement, I have a way to make the impossible possible......"
Liu Pang hooked Lan Fulai's neck with his feet and whispered in his ear, the expression on Lan Fulai's face gradually changed from confusion to ecstasy, and he punched Liu Fat's chest, which was fuller than a girl, and said excitedly: "You kid still have more ghost ideas!" When I get back, I'll take over the family company, and you'll be my personal assistant! That's it, you can arrange it! ”
The two of them hooked their shoulders back down the hallway, unaware of a strange black butterfly flapping its wings on the ceiling above their heads.
……
At the same time, the second floor is in a private room.
Li Mengnan cut off the spiritual connection with the paper-like god, stroked his chin that felt slightly rough, and pondered in his heart what Lan Fulai and Liu Pang had just said.
It is clear that the two have seen through Minnie's true relationship with him and are now hatching an evil plan against Minnie.
Well, at least in his conception, the plan is absolutely evil.
It's a pity that the conversation between the two in the end was conducted in whispers, and Li Mengnan couldn't hear the voice, nor could he see the shape of his mouth, so he couldn't know the specific content of the plan at all.
"It seems that we can only see the tricks." Li Mengnan subconsciously whispered to himself.
However, he did not find it troublesome, but rather very excited, this party was too boring for him, and the "conspiracy" of the two could just add some extra spice to him.
Unknown challenges are the most interesting at any given time.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhuang Jia has no acquaintances here, and she is not interested in the so-called brand-name bags and cosmetics that these girls talk about, except for drinking juice, she is observing Li Mengnan, although Li Mengnan's smile is very faint, but she is still keenly aware of it.
"What do you think I'm laughing at?" Li Mengnan asked rhetorically.
"The devil knows what you're laughing at, but I don't think it's a good thing - you're laughing so wickedly."
Zhuang Jia looked at Li Mengnan with strange eyes, God knows who this bastard is thinking about again, it's good if it's not himself anyway.
After five or six dishes were put on the table, Lan Fulai asked the waiter to bring a box of liquor and a few boxes of beer, and after pouring a full glass for everyone present, he got up to make a toast in high spirits.
"Dear students, four years ago we toasted our parting, now let us raise a glass to celebrate our reunion, time has made us mature, but it cannot erase the deep friendship we have formed in the past three years......
is worthy of being the class president and the top student of the year, Lan Laifu's congratulatory speech was full of emotion, and even Li Mengnan was a little nostalgic for the junior high school days of the year, and many girls with delicate emotions were moved to tears by this retrospective of the hurried time.
After the first glass of wine, it's time to play freely.
Although it is difficult to find the kind of friendship between classmates who have been separated by four years, familiar faces will always make people find their inner feelings and melancholy for their youth.
Nostalgia is human nature, it is the memory of the good that we once had, but can never be found.
The classmates talked to each other about the anecdotes that everyone knew back then, or only circulated among a few people, and raised a glass to laugh at the grudge of last year's inadvertent enmity, and alcohol has become the best fusion agent at the moment, bringing these once young hearts closer together again.
"Come on, come on, Li Mengnan, right! Although you are not from our class, you have picked the prettiest flower in our class...... Minnie Mouse is the dream girl of all the boys in our class, and you are our public enemy now! To make us recognize you, you'll have to have a drink with each of us today! Come on, full! ”
Whether it was a sincere blessing or an intentional joke, Li Mengnan unexpectedly became the target of all the boys in the box at this moment, whether it was liquor or beer, pouring it into his wine glass as if he didn't want money.
Li Mengnan also did not refuse to come, no matter who poured the wine, he opened his mouth directly and was bored, and the bold wine continued to attract bursts of applause.
"Li Mengnan, even if you help your sister block the gun, 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 momentum, but she has been checking it for Li Mengnan since the banquet, although this product didn't drink much beer, but the liquor lost at least three or four catties, and it was basically all toasted by others.
She couldn't control Li Mengnan's health, but she was afraid that if she drank high, no one would be able to protect her......
Minnie Mouse was also poured a lot of beer by several girls at the same table at the moment, but fortunately, she was still a little conscious, and she also leaned on Li Mengnan's shoulder, and persuaded with drunken eyes: "Brother...... That's pretty much it, bastards...... They are jealous of you and deliberately want to get you drunk...... Ignore them......"
"Hehe, how easy is it to get me drunk with just a few scumbags?" Li Mengnan lowered his head slightly, and then raised his head, his eyes were already very clear, and he quietly patted Zhuang Jia's elastic thighs under the table, and said in a low voice: "You go and find a place where no one will find the contents of your bag and throw them, I want to let this group of scumbags understand today that it is also risky to pour alcohol into people......
Zhuang Jia was stunned for a moment, turned around and picked up her large satchel from the back of the chair, but suddenly found that the satchel weighed a lot out of thin air, put it on her lap and opened it to see, I don't know when there were five or six fist-sized avoidance = pregnancy = sets filled with transparent liquor.
Zhuang Jia understood why Li Mengnan had such a good amount of wine this time, and he didn't drink this product at all after a long time, and all the wine that others toasted was stolen by him and sent to her bag.
"You...... How do you use this stuff for wine? ”
Zhuang Jia was ashamed and annoyed, she didn't care much about how Li Mengnan completed the whole process of stealing the day, and all her attention was focused on the few avoidance = pregnancy = sets that were propped up into a ball.
Although it was full of wine, not suspicious white slime, if someone else found out, how could she be a girl who had no human resources......
"Chinese people have a bad habit, once something happens around them that is related to sex, the focus will be inexplicably shifted......" Li Mengnan shrugged indifferently, he knew that Zhuang Jia would definitely pay attention to his wine utensils first, "Of course, you can also choose not to throw it, but I can't guarantee it...... Balloon...... Yes, it's a balloon, will it suddenly be a ......"
"Bastard! Count you ruthless! ”
Zhuang Jia stomped his feet hatefully, picked up his satchel and went out to help Li Mengnan throw the "balloon".
