Chapter 446: Chapter 251: A New Beginning, Magic Edition of "Approaching Science"?_2

"Not bad," Jiang Shu replied casually, his heart settling a bit at the sight of Paperman Clo.

Thank goodness it hadn’t been snatched away by that special Spiritual Body using Resurrection.

But...

"Dick, you called that special Spiritual Body ’Dick’ before, what’s that about?" Jiang Shu remembered this point, as he hadn’t had the chance to ask earlier, but now he did, "Is that Spiritual Body a member of the Dick Family?"

"Correct." Red Clo nodded and continued, his expression exaggerated and full of dramatized shock, "Can you believe it? The Spiritual Body helping Dick Tang actually belongs to the Dick Family."

"I really didn’t see that coming." Now, Jiang Shu was mentally prepared, but he had been genuinely surprised when he heard Red Clo calling out "Little Dick" at the time.

However, he turned to look at Red Clo again, "If that’s the case, how did you gain the trust of that special Spiritual Body? I remember it should be able to ’see’ our world, right?"

"Acting," Red Clo shrugged with an indifferent look on his face, "Just had to deceive him. But this kind of thing can only be done once. It probably has already realized it was fooled; I can’t let myself fall into its hands."

As he spoke, Red Clo shuddered all over, as if recalling something that filled him with fear, so he placed his trusting gaze on Jiang Shu, "You’ll save me, right?"

"Not necessarily," Jiang Shu simply shrugged in his style, displaying a helpless expression.

"Hey, that’s so heartless?" Red Clo reverted to his usual demeanor, the fear from moments ago evidently feigned, "If I die next time, just resurrect me immediately. Without someone preparing the materials in advance, it can’t even use its Resurrection ability."

"Mm," Jiang Shu nodded as well. Red Clo had taken him to find the treasure of Tang and Little Dick—Black Silver—before ascending the Obsidian Building.

The key material for Resurrection was still Lonely City’s black technology—Black Silver—, but the amount of Black Silver consumed by Resurrection wasn’t linked to the number of people being brought back, but to the range of the Resurrection.

Under these conditions, resurrecting the entire Fifth District didn’t require much Black Silver, and Jiang Shu had only found the Black Silver storage belonging to part of Tang’s share; the mass resurrection in Central District of E3 had nearly exhausted these supplies.

"So what is the exact relationship between that Spiritual Body and Tang?" Jiang Shu went on to ask, which was also something that puzzled him.

"Kind of like an alliance," Red Clo thought for a moment, finding it hard to clearly define their relationship, "Probably the kind of feeling of being won over by Tang’s personal charm, I’m not really sure of the specifics."

He said seriously, "It’s always wanted to rescue Tang, but it can’t do it alone. I took advantage of that. You have to be careful in the future, don’t give Tang a chance."

"Got it," Jiang Shu replied solemnly. When it came to the concept of opposing Tang, Jiang Shu and Red Clo shared the same stance.

And the best way to prevent Tang from being resurrected by that Spiritual Body was to lock Tang up, and also prevent Tang from committing suicide.

emmm...

High-voltage insulating paper counts as paper, right?

With the strength of a Tang Paperman, it just couldn’t be possible to commit suicide, right?

High strength, high toughness, heat resistance...

Jiang Shu made up his mind and decided to go and give Tang a new body right away.

"I knew you were hiding here," and at this moment, the door to the storage room opened, Liu Tingruo stood at the doorway, arms crossed over her chest, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Just got here, just arrived," Jiang Shu scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly.

Liu Tingruo just snorted and said, "Alright, I get it."

Jiang Shu: "?"

"What do you get?" He replied, then straightened up and followed behind Liu Tingruo.

But Liu Tingruo walked up to the table in the storage room, leaned over, and stared at Red Clo.

At this moment, Red Clo was sitting obediently on the table.

Without a word, Liu Tingruo flicked him with her finger, sending him flying to the ground.

"Ow! That hurts!" Red Clo immediately clutched his head and howled, though it was unclear what exactly a Paperman was hurting from.

Jiang Shu glanced at Red Clo and asked, "Do you need me to help you build a new paper house?"

"No need, no need, I still want to live with Little Tang and Little Elsa," but Red Clo immediately refused, his eyes shining as if he was looking forward to the cohabitation life ahead.

However, he hesitated for a moment and added, "By the way, can you get me a body that’s invulnerable to any damage?"

"Sure, sure, sure." Jiang Shu found it amusing, but the best outcome was if Red Clo wasn’t bothering him, so he followed the already impatient-looking Liu Tingruo out of the storage room, even taking care to close the door behind him.

"???" Red Clo looked at the pitch-black storage room and the unreachable doorknob, a multitude of question marks suddenly popping into his mind.

——

On the rooftop of the secret base, Liu Tingruo had laid out two soft mats, and upon seeing this, Jiang Shu blinked incredulously and asked, "Is this a reward? Isn’t this going a bit too far?"

"Hm?" Liu Tingruo tilted her head and gave him a glance, "What are you thinking? It’s almost dawn; keep me company for the sunrise."

"Sunrise?" Jiang Shu gaped, and as he looked up at the sky, he saw stars and the moon, "Since when..."

"I went," Liu Tingruo stretched, her delicate figure especially tempting under the cold white moonlight, "I mean, you can’t really do nothing, right? With Diller around, I quickly found a way to shut down the new Black Wall."
