73. Electromagnetic gun? That's something to have!
On the spotless workbench, a row of exquisite square boxes, no more than two feet high and less than one foot long and wide, are neatly arranged. In the center of each box is a jade tablet. A beam of light, not very bright, shines into the jade tablet from above. As the beam moves, layers of patterns are engraved into the jade.
Master Cheng gripped the worktable with both hands, his eyes almost pressed against the glass casing of the engraving machine.
A few moments later, several pre-completion symbols went offline simultaneously.
The old Taoist priest was so surprised that he couldn't speak after taking one and holding it in his hand.
He never imagined that these inanimate objects could have produced the prophetic talisman; it was simply beyond his comprehension!
Master Cheng summoned the technicians and inquired carefully about what kind of magical treasures these boxes contained.
He thought that even if the technicians responded, it would be ambiguous, but to his surprise, the technicians answered whatever he asked without the slightest hesitation.
Master Cheng was heartbroken.
This engraving machine is so mysterious, how can it be easily shown to others?
A little further away, Li Er asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xu..."
Xu Yan waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, just call me Xu Yan."
This time, thanks to the Special Security Bureau's help, we shouldn't be so distant, neither morally nor logically.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you." Li Er agreed with a smile. "Brother Xu, is your master staying here temporarily or relocating? Give me a definite answer so the bureau can make arrangements."
The most important task of fieldwork is to build a good relationship with the transmigrators. The opportunity has been presented to him, so how could he miss it?
Xu Yan was somewhat surprised: "What are the arrangements?"
"Temporary residency is arranged with temporary status, relocation with permanent status, that's roughly it," Li Er suddenly lowered his voice, "But as you know, the Taoist priest's status is special, so some... um, necessary precautions are also needed!"
Xu Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable: "In what way?"
"In all aspects." Li Er didn't notice anything unusual. "It's probably all kinds of basic common sense, social structure, and especially legal constraints."
Xu Yan suddenly realized, and the slight displeasure in her heart vanished: "I can't decide yet, let's stay for a while first."
His tone was normal, but Li Er keenly sensed something was amiss and immediately exchanged a glance with Zhang San.
No, that's not right!
The Special Security Bureau isn't just sitting around doing nothing.
Although only Li and Zhang came forward to make contact, they had an entire team behind them!
The analysis department had already analyzed Xu Yan's personality traits quite thoroughly through his previous works—young, yet possessing a calmness and maturity beyond his years.
Like most online writers, Xu Yan's protagonists never reveal their identities as transmigrators.
This cautious nature of his personality will inevitably be reflected in Xu Yan himself, which makes the situation quite intriguing. Why would Xu Yan bring He Tiannan back to the present world?
The Special Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation and, without much effort, uncovered almost the entire process.
Based on key information such as serious injury and near death, it can be basically confirmed that Xu Yan and He Tiannan returned to the real world under a deadly threat.
What about this time?
Did something happen again?
The two made the same judgment, but made different choices.
Zhang San blinked a few times very subtly, appearing completely normal, but actually conveying to Li Er the message not to act rashly.
Li Er, however, made the exact opposite choice: "Brother Xu, are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "You noticed?"
Zhang San's nerves tensed up instantly.
He had learned too many cases of people suddenly gaining power and becoming arrogant and reckless, and he was afraid that Xu Yan would suddenly turn violent and hurt someone.
"Not really," Zhang San said, feigning nonchalance. "It's just that... well, you seem a bit off."
Xu Yan sighed softly, his gaze falling on Daoist Cheng: "I have indeed encountered some trouble."
He briefly explained the situation, and Li and Zhang immediately understood the crux of the problem.
This is a collapse of faith!
The two made the same decision: they must immediately provide psychological intervention for Xu Yan and absolutely prevent him from developing psychological problems!
If a transmigrator who can travel between two worlds, has extremely strong destructive power, and has psychological problems gets out of control, it's unimaginable what the consequences would be!
"What are your thoughts?" Li Er asked directly.
Communication between people is a skill; some people have to be indirect, while others are better off being direct.
Since Xu Yan didn't choose to voice the problem instead of keeping it to himself, the latter is more likely!
Xu Yan lowered her gaze and, instead of answering, asked, "I'd like to hear your suggestions."
Li and Zhang exchanged glances, and the former said, "We need to hear your thoughts first. If you only seek personal liberation, that would be easy to handle..."
Xu Yan shook his head: "I can't forget those people who died tragically."
Li Er: "You want to help them get revenge?"
"Yes!" Xu Yan looked up, his calm gaze revealing determination and resolve. "Cultivators are high and mighty, and mortals are as insignificant as ants. This is wrong, this is very wrong. I will not only avenge them, but also completely bring down these high and mighty cultivators from their pedestals!"
At this point, he clenched his fists, his eyes practically spitting fire: "Having traveled through time, I have to leave something behind, right?"
Li Er's cheek twitched. How did it all change in the blink of an eye, from personal transcendence to reforming society?
It's like switching from minimalist mode to hellish difficulty!
This is not about making an enemy of a particular sect or a few cultivators, but about attempting to fight against the entire cultivation world single-handedly!
Li Er desperately wanted to plead: "Boss, I know you write novels, and it's okay for the protagonists in your books to be so arrogant and do whatever they want, but doing that in real life will get you killed!"
But could he say that? Did he dare to say it?
"What should I do?" Xu Yan asked.
Li Er took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "First, you must have enough strength to protect yourself; second, you must have enough resources to support you; third, you must have like-minded comrades... broad support... flexible tactics... establish an intelligence network... build a base..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xu Yan was completely bewildered. Why was there so much following the first sentence?
"Just tell me, what kind of support can the Special Security Bureau give me?" Xu Yan said.
Li Er replied without hesitation, "Provide all necessary support!"
Zhang San nodded emphatically.
"Good!" A raging fire suddenly ignited in Xu Yan's heart. "I need a more powerful weapon, one that can deal with Golden Core cultivators, or even Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Li Er was exasperated: "The problem isn't what you want, but that we simply don't know what weapon can deal with a Golden Core cultivator!"
Zhang San suddenly interjected, "If a gun can kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, can a cannon deal with a Golden Core cultivator?"
"Cannons at the Golden Core stage?" Li Er's mind conjured up a beautiful image of a row of cannons propped up on the ground, ready to bombard the Golden Core stage. He immediately panicked. "How? Carry them on your shoulders?"
"Laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, plasma cannons..." Zhang San recited them as if they were his own family.
"Stop, stop, stop! I'm scared of you, okay?" Li Er quickly stopped him. "Can't you say something practical?"
Xu Yan suddenly interrupted, "I think electromagnetic cannons are a good option!"
