Chapter 405: Chapter 371: New Skills

"Just get through it."

At the same time, this also meant that the Old Li in front of him had no intention to kill him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Jiang Xiao pass.

Old Li was taken aback.

He found that one second ago Jiang Xiao had harbored immense killing intention towards him, but the next second it had completely vanished.

In fact, Jiang Xiao even cracked a silly smile.

"Man, are you alright?"

"No, not really, I am quite fine."

He thought it would have taken a lot of effort, but unexpectedly, he still passed.

Although it wasn’t a perfect pass~

Unsaid, Jiang Xiao found something utterly incomprehensible; since gaining control over his body, passing had become increasingly difficult.

It seemed, weirdly enough, that passing was easier when being a bit twisted, and furthermore, using twisted methods could more easily trigger a perfect pass.

"Hehe, Jiang Xiao, want to hear the story about this mortuary?"

Jiang Xiao: "?"

"No, I don’t want to."

Right now, all he wanted was to patiently await Kaidan’s call to him.

"Hey, no offense, but you guys are pretty capable."

Jiang Xiao also highly acknowledged the difficulty of Kaidan.

Although most of the eerie entities here weren’t as strong as those on Sunset Mountain.

But the challenge lay in the fact that they operated in groups; if they were to swarm him all at once, Jiang Xiao might not have been able to withstand them.

Not to mention that twisted Spider Person.

This was the only creature that had ever made Jiang Xiao feel challenged.

What was even more terrifying was that this big guy was clearly not the strongest in the Kaidan world, and it was a man-made or cultivated "Organ Transport Tool Person."

The entity behind it must be unimaginable...

Looking at Jiang Xiao deep in thought, Old Li next to him suddenly said.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, at first I thought you were mentally ill, but now it seems you are not; you are truly wise yet playing the fool."

At first, acting foolish had made people overlook his strength.

Then he strongly killed the fearsome Spider Person, intimidating both the curator and the Night Watchman, and last night he chose to step aside and watch the tiger fight from the mountain.

He put himself in a very safe position.

Isn’t this truly playing the fool to conceal his wisdom?

"Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao lightly exclaimed, not puzzling over the compliment.

Instead, a passive he had overlooked until now was triggered for the second time.

"Talent Effect II: When a Kaidan creature voluntarily admits (says) that you are not mentally ill, the severity of your condition in reality diminishes, and you pull one skill."

The difficulty of this passive was unimaginable.

A Kaidan creature had to verbally acknowledge Jiang Xiao was not mentally ill.

And Jiang Xiao couldn’t lead them to say it.

He had once tried to lead the villagers where Sun Wei and Mu Xitang lived to say it once, and found it completely futile.

It must be that a Kaidan creature willingly said the phrase.

Other than Bai Liu, Old Li in front of him was the second creature to successfully trigger this passive.

Exciting!

Just when he was feeling some pressure from the current Kaidan, this thoughtful skill actively came knocking on his door.

"Thank you!"

The thank you Jiang Xiao said to Old Li was absolutely heartfelt!

"Ha, what’s there to thank me for, I could tell you were a clever kid right away!"

Old Li also bared his big teeth in laughter, indicating at the same time that he was not planning to return to normal society.

"Hey, I’ll burn this place down..."

Looking back at the mortuary situated in the wilderness, Old Li’s eyes carried a lot of reminiscences.

After all, living here for six or seven years with both humans and Kaidan entities, despite the presence of many eerie creatures, there was still some affection.

"Hey, then I might kill myself, or I might make friends with my kind."

Speaking of which, Old Li still found it hard to accept being the same kind as those eerie entities.

After all, although he had lost his physical body like them, he had still lived with normal humans all these years.

You’re telling him to find a large willow tree to settle down with...

He found it somewhat impossible to do.

Jiang Xiao was quite speechless upon hearing this.

"First off, I’ve already told you, I’m not interested in your story, so don’t keep yammering."

"Secondly, who said you must find a large willow tree? You can totally take them to live in the funeral home."

Jiang Xiao looked at Old Li as if he were looking at an idiot.

Why would you burn down such a good house?

What a waste.

Oh?

"This..." Old Li scratched his head, "That sounds doable, huh? There’s a fridge, a kitchen, a big sofa..."

The only things that needed handling were the Spider-Man issue and the people behind the scenes...

But those matters had nothing to do with Jiang Xiao anymore, and he couldn’t be bothered to care.

Because he had already felt the call of that barrier.

...

Kaidan: [Let me play with the Peach Wood Sword!]

As soon as he entered, Jiang Xiao heard an expectant voice.

"No!"

And the refusal was just as straightforward.

"Lend it to you? Wouldn’t that be like throwing a meat bun to a dog?"

Not only did he not want to lend it, but Jiang Xiao even thought about asking for the Compass he had already given Him.

Otherwise, dealing with some invisible eeriness would really be troublesome.

Kaidan: [You!]

Jiang Xiao: "Me?"

He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but the longer he communicated with this thing, the more Jiang Xiao felt like the other party was a child.

Yeah, the underage kind.

Kaidan: [Which one to choose? Hurry up! I’m busy!]

"Uh, how about you recommend one?"

Kaidan: [Why should I? Do I owe you anything?]

"Hey? It’s been this long, huh? I thought we were already good friends, isn’t helping a good friend the right thing to do?"

That comment seemed to strike a chord.

Thereafter, it let out a cold snort and then began to seriously check on Shi Shi and Sun Wei’s status.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao also took the opportunity to add some attribute points.

This time, he triggered an extra ten points of attributes, which he again allocated entirely to strength.

A full fifteen points of strength made Jiang Xiao instantly feel his body significantly strengthened.

"Hey, at this stage, do I still need Bai Liu’s strength when encountering something like the Spider-Man?"

Jiang Xiao repeatedly clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power within his body.

"Maybe I need to test it to find out. Although I’ve gained a lot more strength, the Spider-Man’s defense isn’t a joke, and luckily it’s not an apparition, so Bai Liu’s dark power can instantly break through its defenses..."

Relying on brute strength alone, the challenge might be much harder.

Right, he could draw another skill.

With that thought, a transparent spinner appeared in front of Jiang Xiao.

[Would you like to start the draw now?]

"Yes!"

The spinner, just like the first time, was shimmering with flowing light, with a few slots sparkling particularly brightly.

And this time.

The pointer stopped precisely on one of the brighter slots.

[Skill Electromagnetic Control: S-class]
