"The bond between all resistance organizations?" Feng Xue frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

"No," Chen Xiyao shook her head, her tone certain.

"Although we don't know its exact name yet, based on the current state of the various resistance organizations in the Eastern Kingdom, we can be certain that the Magical Item should have the power to conceal one's identity within a certain range."

"It is precisely because of its existence that the Eastern Kingdom resistance organization was able to establish resistance even when Hundred Tales had almost completely taken control of the Eastern Kingdom."

"In fact, if you had read the combat reports of the Eastern Resistance, you would know that so far, almost all of the resistance's casualties have occurred in direct combat. In other words, once they are out of combat, Hundred Tales will not be able to find the people who opposed them before."

"Not only that, it will even protect the families of these rebels, so as to eliminate any worries for these frontline personnel."

"This ability is interesting! But how are you sure it's in Warehouse No. 8?" Feng Xue narrowed her eyes slightly as she listened to this somewhat familiar ability, while Chen Xiyao simply shrugged and said:

"The power of Magical Item is not unlimited, and they are usually unique. Even those that can produce byproducts will have weaker effects from the byproducts."

"At the same time, if memories or a sense of existence can be erased, then communication between each other will also be problematic. If it were an organization, it would be fine, but unfortunately, almost all the existing resistance organizations in the Eastern Kingdom have similar capabilities."

"Therefore, by studying the connections and activity patterns among the resistance organizations in the East, we can deduce which organization possesses this Magical Item."

"What if this organization has actually recently given up?" Feng Xue asked noncommittally. Chen Xiyao thought for a moment, but still shook her head and said:

"In fact, all countries have certain connections with the resistance organizations in the East. After all, the East can be considered a relatively passive testing ground for Weird Tale. While curbing the spread of the Hundred Tales, all countries are also gaining experience in combating Weird Tale from here."

"However, as you know, the gamblers in the East are not very reliable. So while the countries are cooperating and providing some support, they are also exploring the secrets of those resistance organizations in order to recover some costs while preventing them from going too far."

"However, during the exchanges, we also found that some people would inexplicably lose some memories. It's not that they actually have amnesia, but rather that they forget the names and identities of the people they are exchanging with."

"For example, the reason we were able to launch Kamen Rider around the same time as Dongguo was because we obtained some relevant research data through exchanges with Organization No. 8. But the problem is that after those data were brought back to China, the origin and the method of handover of the data were completely forgotten."

"I see." Feng Xue nodded, then her eyes lit up.

"If that's the case, I might know a clue about this Magical Item."

"Really?" Chen Xiyao's expression was a mixture of surprise and delight. Having done her homework before coming, she knew how much effort the authorities had put into finding this Warehouse No. 8 over the past few years. It wasn't that they wanted to steal the item or the technology inside, but rather it was a form of insurance.

Ultimately, in the hands of humans, this thing is a weapon of resistance, but if it falls into the hands of Weird Tale organization, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

It's like a squishy teammate getting Holy Sword (Note ①). You have to worry that he might be aiding the enemy. If he were a pro, it would be fine, but he's a Gambling Ghost who likes to self-destruct.

Seeing how much Chen Xiyao cared, Feng Xue nodded and said:

"I know someone who seems to have a natural template for being an ordinary person. I used to think she was affected by some kind of Innate Supernatural Tale, but now I think she might just be a family member of some resistance organization."

"It's possible. Where is he? Is it convenient for us to meet?" Upon hearing the news, Chen Xiyao immediately perked up, even giving up her nap, as if she wanted to see him tonight.

Feng Xue shook her head and said:

"My door is in her house, so it's currently being watched by Hundred Tales. I need to contact her first if I want to meet her."

"How should we contact them? Should we use your disguise ability to infiltrate? Or should we use a cardboard box?"

Recalling that cardboard box from back then, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Chen Xiyao's face, to which Feng Xue simply shook her head and said:

"No need, I'll just send my spirit out of my body and go there."

"Huh? There's such a thing as astral projection? This isn't martial arts anymore, it's immortal cultivation!"

Chen Xiyao immediately showed a curious expression, but Feng Xue simply shook her head and said:

"Actually, it's something else entirely; I'm just making it easier for you to understand."

After saying that, Feng Xue suddenly flopped down on the tatami mat, leaving Chen Xiyao completely bewildered.

"Muda Muda Muda Muda!"

Feng Xue's consciousness had just connected with the Gu Poison Body when she felt a series of punches landing squarely on her flesh. Only then did she see the rather peculiar little thing in front of her about to be beaten into a meatball...

Well, it is a bull's head after all.

But...

"Is this a bull demon?" Feng Xue wondered to herself as she looked at the monster with a spider-like body and a bull's head. Meanwhile, "Odyssey" had already returned to Yomi Yurika's side. She looked disgusted, as if she had smashed a cockroach to death with a flurry of punches because she was so frightened. She then quickly left the scene of the crime, leaving the bull-headed mud to slowly evaporate.

Glancing around at her surroundings, Feng Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, only then realizing that this seemed to be Baihe Hua's school, and couldn't help but grin slightly.

But before he could even consider how to confront Baihe Hua, the girl with the stunning figure that made one want to attack her from behind suddenly stopped and stood under the cherry blossom tree in the school's backyard, asking abruptly:

"You're back?"

"???" Feng Xue looked around but didn't see anyone. Baihe Hua sighed.

"Are you still going to play dumb? You're not my Stand, are you? Or rather, a parasitic Stand? Is your Main Body nearby?"

"Ah, this..." Feng Xue's face immediately darkened. He had left a wisp of consciousness within the Gu Poison Body; logically, this shouldn't have happened...

"Your apparent energy expenditure has decreased significantly recently, which I initially attributed to improved physical abilities. However, your interactive abilities have also changed, and just recently, I sensed that intense energy drain again. All these clues point to one conclusion—you are not my Stand, but rather some kind of cheap, remotely controlled parasitic Stand. Am I right? And the condition for triggering this parasitic ability, or rather, your true power, should be these coins, right?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, striking a pose reminiscent of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and appearing ready to take on a challenge, Feng Xue fell into deep thought for a moment...

Note 1: The Holy Sword is a Dota item. It's expensive and provides incredibly high attack power, but it drops upon death. This means it's a double-edged sword; if a teammate who bought it dies, the opponent can equip it immediately. Unfortunately, those who like to buy this item are mostly agile, squishy characters...

P. S.: I went for rehabilitation today, and my whole body is sore. That's all for this chapter.
