Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Role of Replication

Among our group, the person with the most perfect knowledge about demon slaying was not Sister Lan, but Miss Zihui, a psychic medium. As she said, the spell I'm going to use this time is a spell called Replication.

The art of replication has a long history, and it is said that it existed before the birth of shadow puppetry, but few people know about it. However, I think there may also be a reason why people deliberately did not spread the news in this regard.

Shadow puppetry is one of the folk arts with a long history in our country, and as a type of drama, there are often popular folk tunes to narrate with stories.

The specific instruments needed were slightly different depending on the repertoire to be performed at that time, but it was mainly percussion string music, and at the same time, the popular range was very wide, regardless of gender, young and old, and everyone loved to watch this in the era of popular shadow puppetry.

And there is actually an inextricable relationship between shadow puppetry and replication. To make a simple analogy, replication is like a realistic version of shadow puppetry, except that the protagonist in this play is no longer a silhouette, but a real person.

There are a few key steps that need to be completed to perform Forking, otherwise it will not be successful. The first is to establish a connection between the person and the shadow, the second is to control the shadow, and finally, to take the shadow.

During the time when the target was captured from the shadow, he could not lose the shadow during this time, but it was not very long, and generally after casting the Replica, the effect of this spell could last for about a month.

A month may seem like a short time, but in fact, in a spell like Replica, the control time is already short.

Replicating is a type of spell that controls souls, and it is a spell with a comprehensive nature. Witches, psychics, burial masters, etc., all demons can use this spell.

However, if you want to perform the Replica technique, it is best to use it by a witch or underground burial master, and it is best to have a demon slayer from another class to assist you, otherwise the efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Lock up a few big customers who have key contacts with the Hu family's business, use the replication technique to seize their shadows, and then use them during this period of time to make their relationship with Hu Xiang begin to split.

According to the position relationship between the two sides, Hu Xiang will inevitably be forced to retreat at the beginning, and he has to compromise again and again. But I believe that this will not last long.

I know Hu Xiang's character too well, she is a real careerist, although she will not do it easily, but once she does, she will definitely not fail. For these big customers, if you want to ask Hu Xiang if he really doesn't have any other ideas, I don't believe it first.

If there is a way to solve these people smoothly in front of Hu Xiang without being discovered, will Hu Xiang be indifferent?

Perhaps, but she must have been waiting for the moment when she would be 100% successful. This is also the reason why I asked Wang Er Mazi to call Li Fei, Miss Zihui, and Sister Lan over. When performing the reproduction technique, it is enough to have Sister Lan to help me.

And Miss Zihui and Li Fei must infiltrate each other's camp. This is not easy to do, but with Wang Er Mazi, a know-it-all in Qingyun Town, it is not difficult to operate.

Wang Er Mazi's connections are really amazing, and no one knows who this kid's connections can eventually contact. Anyway, I just asked briefly, and this kid patted his chest and said just leave it to him.

In the past, he couldn't recommend the people in his hands, it was really not his problem, it was those people who were not capable, and demon slayers like Li Fei and Miss Zihui who had real skills, if they wanted to recommend them to Hu Xiang, they only needed to get a little rumor.

Everyone discussed together, re-established the plan from beginning to end, and after no objections, they all went back and began to prepare. Sister Lan stayed first, and I asked her to go back to Hu's house with me, and get all the materials she needed there.

This time, the reproduction technique is mainly carried out by Sister Lan, and I can only assist it, after all, the three souls have not fully recovered. After selecting the materials, while waiting for the next person to pack and send them over, Sister Lan asked me a question.

She said, you want to use those big customers this time - say it's big customers, but in fact they're just ordinary people, so if Hu Xiang takes the bait, do you plan to ignore their lives or deaths?

I said of course not, I don't do this kind of immoral thing, I will only use their shadow this time, and it will not hurt them. When the Fork is over, and the shadow is returned to them, they won't remember anything, and my mission will be completed.

I think that if everything goes according to the plan, in the end, Hu Xiang will definitely be murderous, and when she starts to take concrete actions, it will be the time when I will wipe her out and completely eradicate her.

But I have one request, that is, myself, that is, Hu Hui, must not be exposed to it. And it had to do with a hidden plan of mine. A few days later, Sister Lan, they also began to take official action.

Sister Lan and I have been together for a long time preparing for the reproduction, while Miss Zihui and Li Fei have been keeping in touch with us while waiting for the opportunity.

To perform the Replica, all you need is a pair of scissors. Yes, it's a pair of scissors that can cut out shadows. Also known as the Daredevil Hand.

This kind of scissors is closer to the claws of a beast than scissors, and the claws of the pangolin are elongated and magnified several times, which is the appearance of the Daredevil's hand.

The hardest part of making a Daredevil Hand is not collecting materials to craft, but enlightening them. In order to enlighten the Night Demon Hand, you need to know a script of the ethnic minorities in the ancient Western Regions, also known as the Ghost Cave Script. Thousands of years ago, the ethnic minorities living in the Western Regions had disappeared.

It is not known whether the descendants exist today, but it is clear that there are very few people who know about the ghost cave inscription. I don't know much about it myself, and there is very little record in the funeral scriptures.

If it weren't for Sister Lan, this time I would probably have to go back to my hometown to rummage through the relics left by my grandfather. Since it was a childhood memory, I wasn't sure if there was any information about the ghost cave inscription at home, but I vaguely remembered that I seemed to have seen it.

But I don't have to worry about Sister Lan, although Sister Lan is not familiar with it, but she is much more familiar with the ghost cave text than me. Roughly the length of her forearm, the pitch-black Daredevil's hand was finished, she began to pick up tools and carve it on the Daredevil's hand.

The carving is the ghost cave script, this is the process of enlightenment, the text of this ethnic minority in the Western Regions, carved with a special spell will have a magical power.

Sister Lan said that she knew this because she had met an old man from the Western Regions who was familiar with the ghost cave text by chance. Sister Lan herself has a lot of experience, and she has already traveled to the ends of the earth, but when it comes to her experience in the Western Regions, it is obvious that Sister Lan is very excited.

It is very laborious to carve the ghost cave inscription, and the material used to make the Daredevil hand is very strong, and it is already night in the blink of an eye. In the past two days, Sister Lan told me many interesting stories that happened when she was practicing in the Western Regions.

After three days, the Daredevil hand who can cut the shadow is finished, and all that remains is to choose the right time to set off to find those big customers, cut out their shadows, and borrow them for a while.

Sister Lan asked me, although you are now Hu Dabao's daughter, aren't all the Hu family's business handed over to Hu Xiang to handle? How do you get in touch with those businessmen?

I have thought about this myself, and there are many ways, but the key is not to let Hu Dabao and Hu Xiang be suspicious, and to avoid their sight. After thinking about it for a long time, I think it's best to start with the things I am most familiar with.

The next day, I said hello to Hu Dabao and said that I wanted to go out with Sister Lan.

But he also made an appointment with Hu Dabao that he must go home before seven o'clock in the evening. After leaving the Hu family, Sister Lan also teased me and said that this Hu Dabao really spoiled her daughter, and rich people are different.

I said that although there are also reasons for this, the situation of Hu Dabao's family is still different. In the past two days, I have heard Sister Lan tell me interesting stories about my travels in the Western Regions, and I didn't have time to tell Sister Lan what I saw in my dream. Sister Lan asked at the moment, and I told her about it.

The purpose of our trip was to go to a deep mountain in the southeast of Nanshan Ridge, and because of the long distance, we had to take a car to the foot of the mountain and then enter the deep mountain from there. This mountain is called Wanyue Mountain, and it is much larger than the Nanshan Ridge, but the plants are far less dense than the Nanshan Ridge.

Compared with Nanshan Ridge, it is not easy to get lost in Wanyue Mountain, and it is also full of corpse gas like Nanshan Ridge, and any pit dug is full of white bones. Wanyue Mountain is an ordinary mountain, the terrain is flat and the slope is not large, and part of it has also been developed, as one of the tourism resources owned by Qingyun Town.

When Sister Lan and I arrived near Wanyue Mountain together, I also finished narrating the affairs of Hu Dabao's father and daughter, Sister Lan listened with great emotion, and told me that the most unwilling thing for her was that she did not have any talent in the prediction of dreams.

She hadn't felt as sorry as she did now, because when she didn't meet me, Sister Lan felt that precognitive dreams were the privilege of a psychic medium, and she, as a witch, shouldn't covet other people's skills.

However, after discovering that I was a burial master who could have prophetic dreams, Sister Lan also did a lot of research on this point after she went back, but it was all in vain, and she had never seen any precedent at all. Ask the acquaintances around you and the result is the same.

Sister Lan said that their answers are the same - whether they have talent in predicting dreams is only related to whether the soul is strong or not, and strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with the profession itself. At most, it can only be said that the psychic family has some advantages in the soul.

I said that there was no way around it, and even I couldn't figure out why I had such a talent for prophetic dreams. Sister Lan asked me, can you take the initiative to sneak into the prophetic dream according to your own ideas now? I said it shouldn't work, at least I haven't tried it yet.

When we arrived at Wanyue Mountain, Sister Lan and I first bought tickets in order not to attract attention, and walked in with a group of tourists who were watching and climbing the mountain from the entrance of the forest park in the south. I'm not familiar with the terrain here, and neither is Sister Lan, but we're not here anyway.

I came here to find an ancient tomb, and the last time I was in Nanshan Ridge, I had a faint intuition that there must be an ancient tomb on this Wanyue Mountain.
