Preparing to Return Home

Compared to the frantic state of MI9, Feng Xue seemed incredibly relaxed, because he discovered that although the possession of the Ambulance Demon, this Weird Tale, didn't offer much room for independent operation, it didn't completely suppress the original owner's will while possessing him.

In other words, the two parties can communicate mentally.

This means that the two parties can reach an "agreement".

For example, an agreement that doesn't involve too much supernatural power, such as "I'll teach these bastards a lesson, and you'll then reply to posts about 'Libra' online with great intensity. If you find any posts suggesting Libra's channels, you'll only reply once by dialing a 'specific number' at a 'specific time.' After that, forget about me and treat it as your own way of venting," would be binding even if it's just a verbal contract, given the current intensity of Scales Supernatural Tale.

As for the phone numbers, Feng Xue didn't always leave the same number. Instead, she cast a wide net, leaving numbers with ten zeros after midnight or ten ones after 1 am, and then changed her phone number to the corresponding number at the appropriate time.

After several days of intensive "delivery," the number naturally became part of the Scales Supernatural Tale. The number with ten zeros would no longer call Feng Xue's phone, but would instead be directly linked to the phone of the nearest available executioner.

This speed far exceeded Feng Xue's expectations. He thought that this job of answering calls every hour on the hour and then checking the location to complete orders would continue until he returned to Infinite City, but he did not expect that it would be incorporated into the Weird Tale so easily.

However, he later realized that, just like the difference between creating Weird Tale based on Tag and creating Weird Tale out of thin air, there is a fundamental difference between starting from scratch and starting from the beginning.

The core competitiveness of Weird Tale lies in their popularity and influence.

Feng Xue currently holds two Supernatural Tale Entry. Libra, needless to say, has spread worldwide entirely thanks to the momentum of the Olympics.

After tracing the origins of the Ambulance Demon's Weird Tale through the Colombia Network, he realized just how much help his friend Jeston had given him.

This Urban Legend, which originated in Saint Lotan City, spread rapidly throughout Gran Colombia, much like a viral infection. Countless private hospitals and prisons, smelling the blood, saw a business opportunity in it, which led to a modern "plantation" industry chain.

After seeing through the phenomena to the essence, Feng Xue finally understood the importance of scale.

For example, as a "Demon Chef," he only goes to one restaurant a day. No matter how enthusiastic the witnesses are, after half a year, only about two hundred people have actually seen him cook.

Don't be fooled by the uproar in Bekeland's Housewife' circle; it's really just a middle-to-high-end Housewife within Bekeland. No matter how much the upper echelons follow suit, it's still just Bekeland's madness. Although this Urban Legend provided a large amount of [knowledge] in the early days of Feng Xue's arrival, ensuring his long-term existence in reality, it's now somewhat outdated. The reason Feng Xue still insists on going out to cook a meal every afternoon is simply so that she can create Phantom Object delicacies in the future.

On the other hand, the Libra Weird Tale is so well-known that it's easily famous, with over a hundred million people knowing it. Even if only one in a thousand people knew the phone number, it would still attract the attention of 100,000 people, which exceeds the influence of the entire Demon Chef series.

This feels a bit like the D&D's Faith Investiture of the Gods System. If you have few followers, even if they are all fanatical believers, your level will not be very high. But conversely, if your followers are spread throughout the multiverse, even if each one is just a casual believer or a shallow believer, they will accumulate and elevate you to the level of a great Divine Power.

Once she realized this rule, Feng Xue understood that if she wanted to gather more Supernatural Tale Entry, she needed to spread out her efforts as much as possible. Although a small number of "fanatics" could help increase the strength of the Tag, a larger number of general believers were the source of power.

Feeling the two flames, one large and one small, within her body, Feng Xue pondered the further possibilities of the Weird Tale. A certain intuition told her that the Supernatural Tale Entry could be summarized by far more than just a few powers. These flames, burning fiercely with [consciousness] as fuel, should have other functions as well.

Unfortunately, there is no one in the Real World who can answer his question.

Looking at her phone's built-in calendar, Feng Xue realized it was time for her to prepare to return to Infinite City.

Although his current level of awareness is sufficient for him to live in the Real World for an extended period, he has clearly felt the pressure from his recent clashes with Victoria over the Weird Tale department.

These professionals in the Real World aren't completely ignorant; they simply lack the language barrier and can't quite grasp the behavioral patterns of the supernatural. However, for those Weird Tale already have stable rules, they still possess a complete set of behavioral logic.

If it were just a technical issue, that would be fine, but these people also possess Phantom Object.

As the saying goes, the setting is paramount, and special attacks are like gods. With the increasingly targeted Phantom Object used by these organizations that specialize in dealing with Weird Tale, he has lost the composure he had at the beginning.

Feng Xue was very fortunate at this moment. These "real people" did not have his Golden Finger and could not truly see through the essence of those Phantom Object. Otherwise, if they had specifically selected Phantom Object, Feng Xue would likely have faced the same fate as that of the dystopian Shamate who was blown up by pressure point acupuncture because he was holding a Jagi gun.

Even so, as the patterns of his appearances are figured out, these Weird Tale correspondents will become more and more familiar with his abilities, and who knows, one day they might find themselves in a situation with no way out.

To avoid this situation, Feng Xue chose to temporarily avoid the limelight and return to Infinite City to see what was Tower of Babel.

But before that...

Feng Xue checked the time and realized she still had some time before her daily supermarket surveillance trip, so she went to the practice room and looked at Jessica, who was practicing "yoga," and said:

"Did you deliver what I asked you to?"

"It's already on its way. By the way, what exactly is it that requires a detour to Colombia to change packaging before being delivered to Yan?" Jessica asked curiously, while Feng Xue replied seriously:

"If it's something that can be easily mentioned, I'll just use the regular courier service."

"Okay." Jessica understood that if the other party didn't want to talk, she would never get the answer, so she could only shrug. But she still kept Chen Xiyao's name in mind.

Feng Xue wasn't too worried about Chen Xiyao's name being exposed. Based on the ability to gather information using the "[Instructor]" Tag, he could conclude that Chen Xiyao was definitely under official protection and was even doing quite well.

If you're wondering why, it's because just recently, a Tag suddenly appeared in his Tag list that almost made him choke—

There are many factors that contribute to why the ambulance Weird Tale is labeled as featuring Asian characters.

First, the original Weird Tale was about Feng Xue, and Jeston hired mostly Asian people to create the illusion that Feng Xue was still the perpetrator.

Secondly, once the business expands, it becomes much harder to lure victims. Thugs aren't stupid; if they're going to rob someone, they'll definitely target someone who looks easy to bully. And the stereotype of Asians among Europeans and Americans is that they're easy to bully, quiet, and bookish. Moreover, Asians are naturally smaller in stature than whites and blacks, and they also look more delicate.

Third, non-Asians often have difficulty recognizing Asian faces. Unless they have distinct features or have spent a long time with an Asian, it's very difficult for them to tell one person apart. Simply put, if a white person calls an ambulance, the ATM can remember their face, but an Asian person can't. In other words, if you hire a white person to beat someone up, you'll have to replace them every few days, but you can hire an Asian person long-term. This isn't just a matter of inconvenience; as the saying goes, too many people talking makes it easier for rumors to leak out.

In conclusion, Asians have a natural advantage in fishing. Even if hospitals occasionally use white or black people, they will eventually realize that Asians are more effective.

P. S.: I know that Victoria has terms like creepy tales and Weird Fiction, but these are phrases that literally mean "horror stories" or "weird fiction." So, in my book, I use the term "weird" to refer to Victoria Weird Tale stories. When I say "there is no such term Weird Tale," I mean that there isn't a specific word created for it like proper nouns.
