Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 657 - 80 Li Mumu is Very Angry Today
What on earth is this supposed to be?
After reading Wang Yunxiao’s message, Li Mumu was thoroughly baffled.
Her understanding of the Shen Family was mostly associated with their collusion with demons to conduct human experiments and the trafficking of western medicine, and she was truly not very clear about the Shen Family’s entanglement with the Imperial Jade Seal.
It’s not just her who wasn’t clear, Shen Qingxi herself was also unaware of such hidden stories behind the Imperial Jade Seal.
The Joshua People’s consortium... Duke Tartalos... That must be referring to their scheme for the Black Earth up North, right?
The Imperial Jade Seal can be used like that?
Li Mumu originally thought this was quite absurd, but then on second thought, when the Imperial Jade Seal was in Shen Qingxi’s hands, it indeed seemed able to exert some kind of declarative power.
She wrote herself an imperial edict, allowing herself to turn misfortune into fortune, to convert danger into safety... It’s actually tough to judge this matter; one could only say that opinions differ. Nobody can really tell whether it actually had a significant effect or if she was just astonishingly lucky.
But the imperial edict she wrote for Xia Yubing, Xia Yubing certainly valued it greatly.
Then again, how should I put it... Sister Bingbing has never been picky, she eats anything. She’s the type who would believe that hanging garlic around her neck would prevent her from failing exams and would actually give it a try.
Plus, she herself is from the Imperial Clan of the Former Dynasty; even though she doesn’t acknowledge it, it’s understandable that she maintains a respectful attitude towards the Imperial Jade Seal.
If you were to look at it from a Western esoteric perspective, the Imperial Jade Seal indeed possesses a high degree of mystique, capable of giving rise to various ritual magics.
But in the legends of the East, the value of the Imperial Jade Seal is not as exaggerated as what some modern hyped-up accounts proclaim.
Like how holding the Jade Seal supposedly signifies a mandate from heaven, that one could start referring to themselves as the emperor...
Even without the Jade Seal, if you claim to be a being from the top of the heavens, no one would bother you.
The most famous fanatical Jade Seal believer in history didn’t even get to sip honey water before dying.
The Chinese prefer the saying that princes and generals would rather have seeds of virtue.
Having the Imperial Jade Seal is certainly good, but if not, provide me with a hundred thousand troops, and I could make just as strong a kingdom.
The main theme of this world is called "cognition".
The twelve laws promoted by the new government are all based on shaping cognition.
Regarding the cognition related to the Imperial Jade Seal, in Tianmen, would the collective cognition of the common people be stronger, or is it that the cognition of a few Foreigners has the upper hand?
After seeing Wang Yunxiao’s message, the first thought that came to Li Mumu’s mind was: "Could this guy have been bamboozled by some pyramid scheme organization?"
After all, as per her stereotype, Wang Yunxiao wasn’t very bright, even a bit foolish, could be said.
Poor academic performance is the most compelling evidence.
Moreover, there are the Jianghu People who value loyalty and are easily swayed by passion.
Wang Yunxiao initially didn’t even know Jiang Yinyin and ran around trying to find this girl.
If that’s not foolish, then what is?
It couldn’t really be some sort of heroic kindness, right?
Pretending like this as if he’s so heroic—but doesn’t he know that heroes die young?
Even went as far as to write his will; who do you think I am? I’m not idle enough to take care of all your brothers and sisters!
Li Mumu was very annoyed.
Because she was in a bad mood, the pressure was low all day long.
At night, after checking Song Lili’s homework, she bumped into Bai Shanshan on her way back to the dormitory.
"Lend me your bracelet for a bit."
Bai Shanshan stretched out her hand without any politeness.
Li Mumu glanced at her own bracelet – just a plain red string.
Her fellow apprentice sister would definitely not covet such trivial red string, so what remained was the puppet doll tied to the red string.
Wendy.
"Senior Sister, what do you want to do?"
"Just need some teaching materials, thought I’d use this."
"Sorry, but this isn’t something that can be borrowed. If you’re short on teaching materials, I can try to find something suitable for you later?"
However, Bai Shanshan was unyielding, and asked coldly, "Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to strut around with this thing all day?"
Huh? Dangerous?
Is it as dangerous as you, a prime ward of the Containment Department?
Li Mumu smiled and kept silent.
"Do you even know what that thing is?"
"Of course, I do. No need for your concern."
"It’s a curse from Nyarlathotep."
Bai Shanshan said seriously: "At first, I thought you were just keeping a little ghost, but I didn’t expect you to take it seriously. The power of Nyarlathotep had no chance to infiltrate into China; it’s because of your indifferent attitude that her influence has quietly spread. Do you just disregard the rules of our Dharma Gate?"
Do we even have rules in our Dharma Gate?
Li Mumu thought hard, and it seemed the Guiding Bodhisattva Gate indeed had one rule.
Eliminate the evil spirits from the West without fail.
"Senior Sister, please don’t put such a big blame on me. My back is too weak to carry it."
If it were any other time, Li Mumu might have admitted defeat.
After all, she had witnessed Senior Sister Bai’s combat power and unstable mental state. There was no point in clashing head-on with such a powerhouse.
But today, Li Mumu was in a bad mood.
"Wendy is my dear friend, and I vouch for her. If she does anything wrong, I’ll take responsibility."
"You take responsibility? What can you do? How can you make such a boast?"
Bai Shanshan snorted: "How much do you know about the power of Nyarlathotep? Do you know who her real form is? Once her power extends over here and causes a disaster, it won’t be as simple as one or two people dying. How many lives do you have to atone for your crimes?"
"I’m indeed not familiar with Nyarlathotep, but I’m also not familiar with you, Senior Sister."
Li Mumu stood her ground: "Why are other senior sisters elders at the Red Lantern Society, or Night Wandering Deities at the City God’s Office, and only Senior Sister Bai is locked up in the Containment Department? What have you been through after you escaped, and how did you end up here as a teacher? A person who teaches, without teacher’s ethics, failing to properly educate students. I’d like to ask Senior Sister, how many secrets are you hiding behind your back?"
Bai Shanshan’s eyebrows raised slightly, looking at Li Mumu with some surprise.
In her memory, this junior sister was always low-key and weak in character. This was the first time she saw her lose her temper.
But losing one’s temper needs the strength to back it up.
A cat with its fur standing on end just looks cute.
"Do you have a death wish, talking to me like that?"
Li Mumu fired back: "What’s so great about you? If you’re capable, kill me with one slap now! Or else, do you believe I’ll go to the principal right now and complain that you’re bullying a student!"
Bai Shanshan’s expression faltered.
"Good, this is more like a junior sister from our sect."
"You have one week to resolve that trouble."
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands."
After saying these harsh words, she turned and left.
Li Mumu clenched her fists tightly.
Wendy’s figure materialized behind her, whispering, "You shouldn’t have gotten angry with her."
"I know."
Li Mumu took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
Damn, I’ve really done it now.
