Chapter 322: Chapter 202: Liu Tingruo Just Within Reach

"What’s the use of this state?" Jiang Shu looked at little Ding.

Just then, little Ding had been enveloped in a purple orb of electricity, the orb taking on a semi-translucent, gel-like appearance, with the Tablet Spirit’s body barely visible inside, lightning entwined around it, giving it an air of grandeur.

Ding: The state of spherical lightning is extremely unstable. Once it comes into contact with any conductive object, it will cause capacitive inductive explosion and discharge.

"So, what does that mean?" Jiang Shu slightly frowned, which meant that...

Did the state of spherical lightning explode upon contact with a conductor?

What’s the use of that?

A disposable tablet-style hand grenade?

Yi: Self-destruction truck yyds!

However, little Ding seriously explained to Jiang Shu, "Being powerful is a matter of version, but being handsome is for life."

Jiang Shu: "..."

But fortunately, little Ding quickly added an explanation: When in the state of spherical lightning, my speed can be very fast, and the discharge produced by the explosion won’t harm me.

"That’s good then." Jiang Shu nodded, if that was the case, it might still be somewhat useful.

Then, little Ding grabbed a handful of sand and flew to the window, opening it and looking back at Jiang Shu.

"You want to demonstrate? Okay." Jiang Shu understood what little Ding wanted, it still had something to show him.

After receiving Jiang Shu’s permission, little Ding flicked a grain of sand from its hand.

A bright purple lightning bolt shot out from its hand, striking the sand precisely, then instantly forming a small orange orb of spherical lightning that sped off towards the distance under little Ding’s impetus.

In just an instant, the orange orb of spherical lightning struck near the Black Currant Theater next to the Gu River, disappearing into the dark vortex.

"Boom——" A tangerine glow lit up under the water of Gu River, followed by a muffled explosion that sounded as if a torpedo had been detonated inside the river.

Fast speed, long range, and also quite powerful.

All in all, it was quite good.

Jiang Shu then took out a coin, placed it on little Ding’s hand, and looked at it with expectant eyes, mimicking the action of flicking the coin with his thumb.

But little Ding just waved its hand: Can’t do, can’t do, that uses electromagnetic force, while this is just electricity, plasma, not the same at all.

"Alright then." Jiang Shu nodded reluctantly, he had been hoping to replicate something like a super electromagnetic gun, but obviously, the leap from controlling lightning to controlling electromagnetic force was quite significant, and their intensities weren’t even comparable.

Electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces after all. If one could control that...

The gameplay wouldn’t be as simple as just tossing coins.

Ding: However, if these emitted orbs of spherical lightning are not given an acceleration force, they will display a very lightweight state, they can move with the air currents, and can exist for up to three minutes.

With the intelligence level of the Tablet Spirits, they definitely wouldn’t set something up without purpose, so after thinking for a while, Jiang Shu realized what little Ding wanted to say and asked, "Do you mean... setting up mines?"

Like spherical lightning, if it could be controlled through air currents, it would be an unpredictable and deadly weapon in complex indoor environments.

Little Ding kept nodding, raising its thumb while sending a barrage of messages: Good judgment, the child is teachable indeed.

So, Jiang Shu, with an unpleased look, tapped little Ding’s head twice and said grudgingly, "No respect for elders."

After getting some related information about the Derivative Entry·Thunder Driving and Electric Manipulation, Jiang Shu more or less revitalized, opened the Character Card again, and looked at the line of explanation under Derivative Entry·Paperman Control Skill — "Summoning the Dead."

For various reasons, he hadn’t tried the ability to Summon the Dead, but tonight seemed like a good opportunity.

After acquiring the entry "Control Power," he might as well give this ability of the Paperman Control Skill entry a try.

Jiang Shu raised his hand, and a roll of paper in the Magic Cabinet gently pushed the door open and flew out, then, unrolling itself, it folded into a paperman.

Fold by fold, the face of the paperman became clearer—it was a face familiar yet strange.

Devil Wind.

The "Control Power" combined with "Summoning the Dead" within the Paperman Control Skill allowed the current Jiang Shu to try transferring dead spirits onto the paperman.

Like attaching a spirit.

Then, he closed his eyes and began communicating with the ability of the Paperman Control Skill in his mind.

The scene from the night Devil Wind was killed reappeared in Jiang Shu’s mind.

He saw someone who looked exactly like himself standing on top of a police car, while Devil Wind was surrounded by police officers, just like that night.

In the shadow on the building by the street, the emotionless Tang prepared his sniper rifle.

Then, he saw the person who looked exactly like him nodding slightly to Devil Wind, and Devil Wind got the message, preparing to put down his weapon and cease resistance.

After gaining the approval from the fox, he also found out that the true identity of the Smiling Face was Jiang Shu, so that night he understood Jiang Shu’s hint.

However, at that moment, Devil Wind in the police midst suddenly noticed another Jiang Shu silently observing from another position. He looked over with a somewhat puzzled expression at the other Jiang Shu observing the scene.

"Follow me," Jiang Shu motioned towards Devil Wind.
