Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 939 - 6: The Birth of a New Myth
In the end, the responsibility for this matter lies with Mephisto and Behemoth, the two Demon Lords.
In order to escape, they infused their power into their subordinates, and then the corruption spread.
If Li Mumu and her friends hadn’t absorbed and digested these demonic forces, it wouldn’t just be an Echo Erosion problem now; the cesspool explosion might have turned all of Tianmen City into hell on earth.
The Special Service Bureau held a meeting the day before yesterday and summarized and reported on this matter.
Although they didn’t mention their names, they did prepare the cadres in each district psychologically in advance, telling everyone this large-scale Echo Erosion phenomenon would last at least about a month.
If soy sauce stains your clothes, just using your hands to scrub with water won’t clean it.
Echo Erosion follows the same principle.
That night, Li Mumu and Shen Qingxi, under the influence of demonic power, lost their minds and fought with Wang Yunxiao from the skies to the underground, crossing countless dimensions along the way.
Although the demonic power they were carrying has been exhausted, its traces left in the Dreamland will still cause mental harm to ordinary people, especially the old, young, and frail.
Of course, they are not the main focus.
The focus is on Xia Yubing.
She endured most of the demonic power alone, and didn’t consume it quickly like Li Mumu.
Although there are various considerations, such as not finding a suitable opponent, or releasing too much demonic power would cause more severe environmental impacts, etc.
But the reality is that due to her existence, the Echo Erosion phenomenon in the Dreamland is becoming more severe. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Public perception is beginning to change.
Some people with higher inspiration, like that shaman, can already clearly see the massive shadow she left in the Dreamland.
They then pieced together what they thought was the truth through their own imagination.
This is how the earliest religious beliefs were born.
Humans saw the sky and the earth and imagined Heavenly Father and Earth Mother. Seeing the sun and moon, they imagined Sun God and Moon God.
Heavenly Father and Earth Mother had many children; Sun God and Moon God must be handsome youths...
Now, under Wang Yunxiao’s nose, a brand new myth is gradually taking shape in the minds of those local Spirit Communicators.
Amber Coffin, Red Shroud, Cangqing Nether Jade.
These are the three procedures for interning the deceased, and they are quite grand ceremonies, not enjoyed by anyone but the nobility.
This inevitably leads one to imagine that these three female Demon Heads want to usurp the powers of the Underworld, and it’s a pretty high-level divine post.
Although now it’s still a half-finished matter without a firm conclusion.
However, Wang Yunxiao easily arrived at this result using the deduction ability of Scholarly Heresy.
If the Echo Erosion remaining in the Dreamland is not swiftly resolved, it won’t be long before a new cult appears locally, bringing many unstable safety concerns.
At this time, Wang Yunxiao doesn’t know that the cult already exists.
Moreover, Amber, Reddy, Cangqing have gained some fame in the Jianghu World.
Heretical path and fiends emerge every year, but those daring enough to go to the Xia Mansion to persuade the Emperor to restore the throne and to provoke in front of Li Chang’an... are rare.
Having a foundation and not having one are two different matters.
Now is not the internet era, where news first hits the Douyin trending list.
Based on the clues in front of him, Wang Yunxiao surely couldn’t deduce the whole incident, feeling only that the birth speed of this myth is somewhat unexpected.
Will this have any negative impact on Li Mumu?
For example, having her image distorted and negatively affecting herself?
This is troublesome, maybe it’s better to ask her opinion?
But when he is actually with her, Wang Yunxiao doesn’t want to discuss business matters.
Too much of a buzzkill.
Or maybe... ask Shen Qingxi?
My wife surely wouldn’t mind, but that woman might have issues.
Based on past dealings with the Shen Family and personal interactions with Shen Qingxi, Wang Yunxiao doesn’t have a good impression of her.
How does she resemble a lady?
She seems more like a little nutjob running out of a mental hospital!
Wang Yunxiao is thinking about when to chat with Shen Qingxi, when Shen Qingxi herself directly visits the next day.
Even Wang Yunxiao has to admit, the noble aura this woman displays in broad daylight, in front of everyone, indeed makes her look more like a lady than Li Mumu... no, more like a Family Head.
With a cane in hand, satin dress and leather shoes, gold-rimmed glasses, draped coat, stern and full of authority, like a Mafia godfather.
She seems presentable as a human when she’s not speaking.
"Commander Wang, I specifically came today to clear up some misunderstandings."
Shen Qingxi, upon sitting in Wang Yunxiao’s office, gets straight to the point.
"Earlier I was affected by demons and spoke unseemly words in front of you. I hope you understand that those weren’t my true intentions."
Which words?
The "You on Monday, Wednesday, Friday; me on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday; 3P on weekends" line?
"No worries, I understood the situation at the time. I won’t take it seriously, Miss Shen, you can rest assured."
"I knew Commander Wang is always reasonable and empathetic."
Shen Qingxi nodded: "There’s another matter, I wonder if Commander Wang has relevant information about this --- it’s about me and your wife, some bad rumors circulating outside."
"..."
Wang Yunxiao helplessly said: "Miss Shen, please speak clearly, don’t create misunderstandings."
"From what you’re saying, you seem to know. Has Li Mumu told you about the specifics of that night?"
"Not yet."
Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said: "But the Special Service Bureau held a meeting to inform the situation; I still understand the general process. That is, the plan devised by the two Demon Lords went wrong, and when they escaped, they sacrificed a tail leaving a big blast behind, right?"
"Aren’t you curious?"
Shen Qingxi exclaimed in surprise: "Your wife has become like that, and you don’t even ask her?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities to ask later, and right now you can see---"
Wang Yunxiao pointed to the documents piled high on his desk: "I’m really too busy, I hardly have time to be with her. When I’m finally with her, I don’t want to discuss such topics. As long as she’s still her, it’s fine. Other issues can wait until later."
"Such enviable... this love full of sour stench."
Shen Qingxi smiled and said: "Actually, other words I said that night can be disregarded, except for one, you must take seriously. That is annihilation... Don’t underestimate this monster."
"I want to make a deal with you, I need a cultivation textbook from the Dharma Sect of Righteous Path."
