Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 817 - 412: Not Everyone Who Uses a Hypnosis App Is a Goblin

Regarding the notorious reputation of certain green creatures, Zhang Ze thinks their unattractive appearance should be primarily to blame.

After all, when facing a large group of creatures not wearing any pants, oozing pus and stinking, constantly roaring and ready to drag you back for the ultimate humiliation, any person with normal preferences would make a rational decision.

Those without strength would choose to flee.

Those with strength would charge in with a whirlwind slash, turning them into minced meat, and then use their ears for money.

However, if we modify their appearance.

Re-describe the scene, turning it into.

A large group of beings not wearing any pants, with a fragrant scent, shyly panting, cooing to drag you back for the ultimate humiliation, to fill their pointy-eared, busty elf-like bodies.

Then any person with normal preferences should naturally let the big head listen to the small head's command, and stay to cover the rear.

And puff up their chest, declaring, don't trouble my brothers, bring everything to me, I can handle it!

So in conclusion, it's still a matter of appearance. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At this moment, that little green creature climbing up to the Observation Platform from the cliff, holding a black stone and hypnotizing everyone, though not quite to the level of an elf-like being, could still be called cute.

So Zhang Ze did not charge in with a whirlwind slash to take it away.

With a round head, big eyes, petals drooping down from the lower body like a skirt, it seemed to be a plant type.

Like a Da Tou Cai sprite.

The little Douding's light green translucent hand stretched out from under the skirt, waving the black stone slowly.

"Friend~ Friend~ Come with me."

A gurgling voice came from under its skirt, transforming into an understandable sound as it reached Zhang Ze's ears.

With the little Douding's black stone swaying, all six people except Zhang Ze fell victim.

Initially, their expressions varied, but soon they became unified, their eyes tranquil and as still as an ancient well.

They all seemed to think of the gentlest thing in their lives.

The two holding out the longest were the superstitious Celestial Sect senior sister and the bald one from the Buddhist Sect.

Probably due to higher resistance, these two managed a small resistance, with the Celestial Sect sister conjuring a bit of ice crystal at her fingertips, and the Buddhist monk's bald head glowing golden.

In their exquisite cooperation, the ice crystal turned into dew upon contact with the golden light, thoroughly watering the little Douding.

"So refreshing~ Thank you!" the little Douding uttered another gurgle, continuing to hold up the black stone.

"Friends~ This way~ Let's go home."

Though the tone was warm, the scene was rather uncanny, with the little fellow leading like a corpse herder, slowly shaking the black stone, guiding the six unfortunate ones down the mountain.

Zhang Ze focused on the black stone, attempting to decipher the 'entries' on it.

The information contained in this black stone was quite complex, not just simple desires.

Zhang Ze didn't know how to describe it; if anything, it felt like a brainwashing package from a pyramid scheme.

Among them, besides the entry [friend], he also saw entries like [citizen][rights][protection], strange and out of place.

Zhang Ze suspected that Li and Brother Monkey were also caught by the little Douding as "friends" in this manner.

And intuition told him that this little creature was likely not the only one.

To avoid alerting others, Zhang Ze didn't directly capture the little Douding.

Instead, he quietly followed the team, blending into this special 'corpse driving' squad.

First, follow it home and find the missing Li.

The secret special operation mission begins.

As Zhang Ze naturally joined the team, the little Douding seemed aware, turning its head 180 degrees to look at Zhang Ze.

And Zhang Ze openly stared straight at the little Douding.

Due to transforming into a stone recently, Zhang Ze's eyes naturally looked dazed, with no need to rehearse, he could instantly switch to playing dumb.

The cautious little Douding blinked, watching Zhang Ze for a while, not quite reassured, waving the black stone in its hand.

"Friend?"

Zhang Ze didn't respond, playing dumb silently, attempting to analyze the information in little Douding's black stone.

Perhaps overly confident in its hypnosis app, after observing Zhang Ze for a while, the little Douding dismissed its doubts.

It continued humming a tune, hopping ahead without looking at Zhang Ze, the 'new friend,' again.

The little Douding moved quickly, as if the very heavens and earth were assisting it.

As it hopped forward, the vegetation automatically parted, creating a path.

Ice crystals formed on the lake surface for it to traverse, mist enveloped, concealing the group's tracks.

Falling to the back of the line, Zhang Ze quietly took out a small walnut, snapping a photo of the little Douding leading the way.

[Fuji, help me find out what this thing is?]

...

The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

In a sealed chamber filled with various poisons, an amorphous Fuji was eating scorpions with its tentacles, staring at the TV static in a daze.

This broken TV had become prized by Fuji, her indispensable choice for passing the time.

And right now, she was slacking off.

As the small walnut hanging on the wall vibrated, Fuji was startled, the whole blob trembling thrice, hastily reforming into a humanoid shape, transforming into an office lady outfit, entering Customer Service Fuji mode.

"Fuji 00868 at your service. How may I help you?"

Zhang Ze said, "Who... whatever, look at the small walnut and help me figure out what this thing is."

Upon recognizing Zhang Ze's voice, Customer Service Fuji 00868 collapsed back into a blob, lazily responding.
