The kind of attitude where those in positions of authority believe there's no need to care about those in positions of authority.
"This class reunion is going to be a lot of fun, so look forward to it!"
He even came over, patted Miss Fox on the shoulder, and straightened her beret, which was askew.
It's absolutely baffling.
This person... didn't gain any supernatural powers, so what's with this strange change in mentality?
Is there anything she missed at this class reunion?
He pulled out Miss Ruan's junior high school graduation photo, which she had dug out from the bottom of a box, and tried to find people in the same city who looked similar in the photo. Sure enough, he found a few who were obviously problematic.
They were all the same few people who had been egging everyone on in the group chat to have a get-together.
Although they are still in the mortal stage, they all have the aura of evil cultivators, and they are only one step away from successfully advancing to the level of extraordinary units.
Is this a plot from some novel?
But thinking about it, it's quite normal for someone who's joined a cult to target their old classmates. I had an experience before I transmigrated where an old classmate who had joined a pyramid scheme contacted me.
It's true what they say: when an old classmate you haven't contacted in years suddenly reaches out, it's never good news.
Seven-Colored Leopard Jumps on Jade: Is this even possible?
Qi Pu Gui Yue: Since they're a cult, let's kill them all!
Everyone here is my wife: Is this cult also run by the man in the black robe?
Silver-haired Saiga: I think so?
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: That's not it.
The spiritual investigation revealed that a group of people had somehow acquired antique props containing spiritual energy, then learned a sacrificial ritual from some ancient books, managed to activate it successfully, and gained benefits from it.
In other words, these old classmates have already committed murder.
Once the moral bottom line is crossed, it's easy to do it again.
"This really does give off a feeling of a celestial king reborn in the city..."
A beautiful old classmate who had been detached from the class group for three years happened to be from the same hometown, so we organized a class reunion.
If Miss Ruan weren't such a lazy bum, she probably would have been the one to grab everyone at the party and ask them questions since she hadn't spoken, leading to the organizer activating some evil magic, putting her life in danger, and then being saved in the end.
The classic tale of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, followed by the question of where the old classmate's evil magic came from, becomes a subsequent subplot or even a short-term main storyline—perfect.
Celine Kaslana: But none of this has anything to do with you, Mom, who has access to the full map, right?
Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)_
That is indeed the case.
Not only can spiritual sense reveal the entire map, but it can also perform physical examinations, directly determining the origin of evil magic and knowing in advance what the class reunion will be like.
They gathered all the information before even starting the storyline.
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Then we don't need to go to this class reunion, right?
Qipu Guiyue: Why not go? Why leave several cult members there and not kill them?
Celine Kaslana: Mom will definitely still do it, after all, the clothes have already been bought.
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: If I don't go, how can I justify not going to the clothes I just bought?
Sirin Kaslana: Here
Everyone here is my wife: I thought the reason would be that old classmate who was suspected of being a reincarnated immortal king...
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: That's part of it, it's always safer to get close, just in case this old classmate has a system.
The system's camouflage and escape capabilities are quite outstanding; a close inspection is the safest approach.
And just as Qipu said, what's the point of leaving those cult members there unkilled? Are they going to be kept around for the New Year?
And that female classmate whose name I didn't know earlier also had obvious problems.
He is a completely ordinary human being and is not affiliated with the organizers.
But I knew very well that there was something wrong with the class reunion!
## Chapter 1569 A Novice Evil Cultivator's Unfavorable Start
Does this mean we've opened a bit too many side quests?
Miss Fox silently calculated that the female classmate who knew the situation was clearly a mortal, but the male classmate was suspected to be a reincarnated immortal king from an urban fantasy novel.
Hmm, two side stories are indeed a bit too many.
Moreover, upon closer examination, these two old classmates seem to have no connection with the spiritual energy revival driven by the behind-the-scenes forces, but their appearance undoubtedly fits the broader context of the spiritual energy revival even more.
It's almost as if the world, in coordination with behind-the-scenes maneuvering, created this entity specifically for us...
"But how could that be?"
Shaking my head, I realized that there was no clue whatsoever, and thinking too much about it would only cause me to lose hair.
Let's finish what we have on hand first.
Thinking this way, Miss Fox bought a cup of milk tea on the roadside to enhance her youthful image before arriving at the agreed-upon meeting place with her classmates.
This is a KTV that is quite remote in the small county town.
Upon entering, the eerie aura of the sorcery immediately assaulted the nostrils. In the corner of the modernly decorated room, there were several strange porcelain pieces that clearly didn't match the room at all, and the arrangement was very crude.
"You are... Ruan?"
You couldn't even remember someone when you tagged them in the group chat, but you recognized them the moment you met them in person?
Miss Fox looked down at her pectoral muscles and thought, "Hmm, I get it."
The differences are quite obvious; they're not even in the same class in the graduation photo.
"Not everyone's here yet, Ruan, you can grab something to eat first~"
Several men eagerly crowded around her, all wanting to get close to her; their desire was undisguised.
Their exposure to extraordinary power gave them unparalleled confidence.
Miss Fox cleverly evaded the three men's encirclement, chose a corner to sit down, showing no respect whatsoever, and left her three enthusiastic old classmates alternating between pale and flushed, making for quite a spectacle.
Since accidentally triggering the evil spell, their inflated desires have led to this rejection for the first time. Can't they see their well-developed muscles now?!
The female classmate I met while shopping for clothes hasn't arrived yet.
He exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, and his cold demeanor successfully deterred all his old classmates from trying to strike up a conversation.
Miss Fox carefully examined the strange porcelain pieces and, unsurprisingly, discovered that they contained spiritual energy, which had been recently infused into them.
There's even an anti-counterfeiting stamp on the bottom of the bottle; it's a fake antique made to look old.
I see... This is also part of the disruption of society.
"Click!"
The room door, which had just been closed, opened again, and the main character arrived.
Contrary to the usual pattern of arriving last or second to last, the main character of this class reunion, an old classmate who is suspected to be a reborn immortal king, arrived at the scene very early.
As soon as he entered, he also noticed the strange porcelain pieces immediately, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Sports Committee member, why are you decorating your room with these things?"
I asked directly, and it seems I'm quite familiar with the person who organized the class reunion.
"The things Dad brought back are a kind of recycling."
I never expected that this KTV belonged to him.
But I lack experience; I hadn't considered that people would ask me these things, and my heart started racing.
Miss Fox thought for a moment, then pretended to accidentally knock over the porcelain piece placed on her side—
"Snapped!"
One of the party organizers excitedly lunged over and grabbed her wrist tightly.
This immediately caused the expressions on the faces of everyone present to turn strange.
It was so chaotic; those three party organizers made one wonder what was so special about these strange porcelain pieces.
"These things are a bit expensive, hahaha..."
It's so stiff and awkward that it makes you want to laugh.
This performance, while piquing everyone's curiosity about porcelain, was perhaps a bit too simplistic.
Judging from the expressions of those initiators, they'd probably forcefully activate their evil magic if pressured further.
That's good, it'll help resolve things quickly.
"What is it about her that makes our Master Chen care so much?"
The sounds I heard in the clothing store.
Looking back, I saw the female classmate raise her head near the ear of the old classmate who seemed to be a reincarnated immortal king, meet his gaze, and be given a provocative look.
Then she pulled Master Chen to another corner and continued whispering to him.
Miss Fox: ?
What's the difference between this short distance and loudly plotting something?
For Miss Fox, it sounded as clear as if someone were speaking right in her ear.
The main dialogue was that the female classmate knew Chen had extraordinary abilities and hinted to him that she knew more of his hidden secrets.
Chen then revealed how the other person knew he was a reincarnation from the future cultivation era, a piece of information that surprised the female classmate and left them both in an awkward silence.
Thousand Ren: Abstract
Sirin Kaslana: It seems this isn't a wish-fulfillment story, otherwise it would have been interrupted, and in the end, the two of them, though talking at cross purposes, subtly resolved their misunderstandings and lived peacefully together.
Fallen Saint Black Cat: ...Is it possible that Miss Ruan, who was originally supposed to replace the shameful elf, went up to interrupt?
Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)_
Silver Hair Supreme: No way, Miss Ruan is a complete clone of Miss Fox, it's unlikely she would go to a party, right?
Everyone here is my wife: I think it's very likely that Miss Ruan was originally one of the female protagonists in a wish-fulfillment novel script. After all, she has a strong personality and is beautiful, making her the perfect opening female protagonist. It's just that her position was taken by the reborn character.
Qi Pu Gui Yue: Where did this reborn person come from?
Celine Kaslana: That classmate who provoked her mother was too obvious.
Newbie just there to fill a spot: I don't know.
Miss Fox provided an excellent answer.
Because this female classmate, although she had the feel of someone who had been reborn, was targeting Miss Ruan for no reason.
But Miss Fox's spiritual sense clearly saw that she was a local and there was no trace of her having traveled through time and space.
Incidentally, Chen, who revealed that he was a reincarnated person, was also like that.
Moreover, the novel itself doesn't have any concept of a "time river," so rebirth is completely nonsense.
"I guess they just got the memories of the 'future'?"
The future in quotes.
However, these two "reborn individuals" should be unrelated to the man in black robes. Chen's system is different from all the systems currently in circulation. Although they should all be called spiritual energy, they are definitely not from the same system.
In short, this situation only complicates matters further, providing Miss Fox with more information—whether useful or not—that could lead to her finding the man in black.
After all, even if the systems are different, it doesn't mean they have absolutely no connection with the man in black robes.
"Tsk." This is really a headache.
Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it for now. There are too few clues, and forcing myself to think about it will only torture me.
It's better to torment others than torment yourself.
For example, a party organizer who suddenly locks the door.
For a while now, the three of them seem unable to bear the pressure they put on themselves. Driven by various emotions, they have decided to start the evil spell before everyone is present.
"Oh!"
