The next day, the captain of the patrol team, Grant, was preparing to gather the team members and hold a new introduction meeting, which is also the tradition of the patrol team.

Suddenly, a member of the team ran in and reported to him that something big had happened.

It turned out that early in the morning, many people in the town suddenly went crazy, and hundreds of people were taken away by unknown monsters overnight, and all of them became idiots. Before dawn, they actually lined up and went straight to the Daqu River along the main street, and collectively committed suicide by jumping into the river.

The Guardian House has all been dispatched and arrived at the scene, and the town guard is also rescuing and salvage.

Although supernatural incidents are under the jurisdiction of the Guardian Office, and the inspection team is responsible for the supervision and punishment of officials, who knows if such a big matter involves official dereliction of duty or even violations of law and discipline.

As a result, Grant and several people immediately rushed to the scene to supervise the officials' response and the measures they took.

Shang Shulang was intrigued, but he was a newcomer and was left behind to continue familiarizing himself with the environment while receiving the Inspector's clothing, weapons, etc.

Newcomers are also assigned accommodation, of course, if you find it inconvenient, you can also stay outside, the patrol team will not intervene, just be on call.

Shang Shulang got dressed, looked down at the word "patrol" on his chest, and was really speechless. How can I still patrol this, I saw you coming from afar, and those officials are still not alert?

The weapon is a standard long knife, and the workmanship is decent, but it is a little lighter, and it feels like holding a chopstick when wielded.

It's still a big kitchen knife that looks wild and sharp, although it is a weapon that has been picked up, but it is wide and large, like half a door, and it is very imposing to look at. Although many people ridiculed him for holding a kitchen knife, and the workmanship was not very good, but the kitchen knife had already had some feelings with him all the way, and he was ready to send it to the blacksmith shop to add some good materials and upgrade it.

In addition, he decided to find a place to live near the patrol team, after all, he has a lot of secrets, and it will be troublesome to be detected.

In the morning, he ran around, and finally under the guidance of Yazi, he bought a small yard a few hundred meters away from the patrol team.

The house was dilapidated, barely inhabitable, and there was a large willow tree in the yard that seemed to take two people to hug it. It was because of this tree that he bought the yard. Why? Alas, it was "requested" by Xiao Hei, who had a soft spot for this tree, and as soon as he came here, he jumped up the tree and refused to come down.

After a brief clean-up, Shang Shulang returned to the patrol team.

When Grande saw him, he greeted everyone and introduced, "This is the new Trull patrol. Trull, you introduce yourself, talk about your expertise or something, and everyone will cooperate in the future. ”

"I have practiced the body refining method, and I have reached the elementary level of invulnerability, and the weapon is this big kitchen knife, I have a magic pet, and I can also draw talismans and make puppets, but it is not very useful at present. ”

Everyone saw that what he said was true, and ordinary people would not talk about such a secret as a magic pet. In addition to being curious about his pet, most people also have a good impression of him, and think that he seems to be easy to get along with, but he is really ...... The knife is big enough.

"There was a terrible case this morning!" Grant then had a serious expression, "There have been more than 100 collective suicides, less than ten have been rescued, and those who are alive are all demented, and it is reported that they have lost their souls." ”

Among those present, listen quietly. This kind of big case falls under the jurisdiction of the Guardian Office. Some of the guards have done it, and if they don't do it well, they will all be punished.

Grant said intriguingly, "Well, ah, the Guardians have a good relationship with us, and they ask for help." Although the patrol team is in charge of officials, at this juncture, we can't look at other people's jokes, right? I think so, everyone is dispatched and scattered to the whole town to investigate, and they can help if they can, and they can do their best!"

Hearing this, Shang Shulang understood that this was for everyone to go out and pretend to show the guard team the posture of the patrol team, as for whether there was anything to find, it would depend on luck.

Shang Shulang walked out of the patrol team, went directly into his house, and began to study the "Runic Catalogue" and alchemy.

The day was very full, and I was so tired that I was dizzy. Drawing talismans is the basis of puppet refining, Shang Shulang is very talented, basically memorized more than 300 kinds of runes, and can draw 90 kinds of talismans so far.

The improvement of the level of runes is very helpful for him to refine paper puppets, paper puppets need to draw 36 runes with Tianji liquid, and the success rate is generally six or seven layers, but with the improvement of rune technology, it can reach eight or nine layers, and even higher.

He has already begun to research and experiment with the paper puppet, commonly known as the paper puppet. Once successful, you can sell the dead paper puppets to make a huge fortune.

Unfortunately, although he has the drawings and materials for refining, and the refining technology is increasing day by day, he has not succeeded so far.

It seems that the death of the paper puppet is lost, and the legend left by the predecessors is true in the world, and it is indeed extremely difficult to replace the dead paper puppet, and it is even almost impossible to refine it in his opinion, if it can, it can only be said that it is a blessing!

But he is unwilling to give up, the dead paper puppet is the pinnacle of a puppeteer at the level of paper puppets, and if he can't reach it, it will be difficult for his alchemy to reach the supreme realm of the ancients, because the foundation is lacking, and it is difficult to enter, which will affect the realm and final level of refining puppets and puppets.

However, the biggest difficulty in refining a dead paper puppet is that even though the substitute paper puppet has a mechanism to transfer attacks, the attacks that can be transferred are limited, because the existing rune paper cannot withstand the energy of a deadly attack.

The material of the rune paper currently sold in the other world is too fragile, lacks flexibility and sturdiness, and does not meet the requirements of refining in all aspects.

Shang Shulang guessed that the talisman paper used by the ancients was different from the current one, so they could refine the paper puppets that replaced the dead. He now needs to find a tough paper, or simply make his own good paper, to make a big breakthrough.

Do you want to make your own paper? The puppet alchemist is too difficult to cultivate, and it will involve papermaking, hehe, this can use the modern technology of this world.

......

Shang Shulang traveled back and forth between this world and the other world, and finally, he finally found the paper that met the requirements - paper steel. Paper steel is a kind of high-tech achievement, it is a new type of building material made of extremely fine metal wire and fiber mixed in pulp with papermaking method, also known as metal fiber paper.

Soon, Shang Shulang made a version of paper steel from another world, and then used paper steel to make a replacement paper puppet......

The first experiment failed, and then again...... For the Nth time, it finally succeeded.

He looked up to the sky and laughed! Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was too nervous just now, and the muscles all over his body were a little stiff and sour because they were too tight.

With the improvement of proficiency, the success rate of papermaking and refining continues to increase, and every ten refining, there are about three or four layers of finished products, which seems to be the limit.

Look up at the sky, it's getting late, it's time to change your clothes and go out to treat yourself.
