The little fox also knew how to handle things with a sense of proportion. If Song Chuyue had no problems, his efforts would be in vain, which would be a good thing as he wouldn't harm good people.
However, if Song Chuyue had problems, and during this period she used the talismans made by the little fox, she would surely encounter trouble.
The little fox was also preparing for the worst. After all, for someone suspected of having issues, he couldn't do nothing. Giving her protective talismans and then having them protect an evil person would render Ye Tiancheng's efforts to save Ou Xiaoxue useless.
What if, after they thought everything was over and Ou Xiaoxue was sent away, she was harmed by someone? That would be too terrible.
Similarly, as long as it wasn't confirmed that Ou Xiaoxue was completely problem-free, the little fox would do the same.
He just wouldn't tell Ye Tiancheng. The Nuwa Stone could see what he was doing. The Nuwa Stone had its own little thoughts and considered things carefully, but Ye Tiancheng wouldn't agree. The Nuwa Stone still needed to rely on Ye Tiancheng, so it usually didn't show its feelings.
Therefore, the Nuwa Stone saw the little fox doing these things, and it understood even better. It agreed with the little fox and had no intention of revealing anything to Ye Tiancheng. It even guided the little fox, telling him how to achieve better results.
With the Nuwa Stone's guidance, the little fox made rapid progress in learning talismans during this period. After hearing something once or twice, he could basically understand most of it.
Afterward, the little fox prepared all the talismans for Ou Xiaoxue, packaged them together, and delivered them to Ou Xiaoxue the next day. He taught her how to use them for self-defense.
As long as Ou Xiaoxue had no problems, or if she didn't have any malicious intentions while carrying these items, then these items would only be her protective talismans.
The little fox wouldn't make any mistakes. Each of his talismans was packaged individually, and with the Nuwa Stone watching over them, no one could move them casually. He would never make a mistake.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke and after breakfast, Ye Tiancheng and his group set off. This time, even Ou Xiaoxue followed behind them, carrying the talismans the little fox had given her for self-defense.
Of course, Ou Xiaoxue also carried some other things, such as food for lunch since they wouldn't be back. She didn't want to be a burden. Ye Tiancheng didn't refuse, as it was a small matter.
In addition to lunch, Ye Tiancheng also had some energy bars, compressed biscuits, and similar items, just in case. If there were any unexpected situations that prevented them from returning in time, they couldn't starve and be exhausted to death. That would be very not worth it.
When they returned to Ou Xiaoxue's villa, perhaps because Ou Xiaoxue hadn't been back for a long time, although it wasn't that long, she had been away for two days. As soon as the little fox entered, he sensed that the malevolent spirits hidden in the dark were becoming active again.
Perhaps Ou Xiaoxue was indeed suitable as bait. The reactions of these malevolent spirits showed that. He didn't know how Ou Xiaoxue had provoked them. Even if it was a setup, for an ordinary person, encountering even one malevolent spirit in their lifetime would be remarkable, belonging to a very small minority.
Ou Xiaoxue's level of encountering spirits was so high that she could be crowned a queen. It was truly impressive.
Upon arriving, Ye Tiancheng asked the little fox what to do. The little fox said that since they were looking for a mirror spirit, they should first find a mirror. Without a mirror, where would the mirror spirit come from?
Ou Xiaoxue asked the little fox, "We need to find a mirror, right? What kind of mirror should we look for?"
The little fox rubbed his nose and replied, "Of course, we should look for commonly used ones. The more you use them, the better. Generally, only those mirrors you frequently come into contact with are more easily influenced."
Ou Xiaoxue thought carefully. If that was the case, she had some ideas. "If that's the case, the mirrors I use most often are basically the mirror in my bathroom, the vanity mirror in my room, and the full-length mirror in my room."
When the little fox heard this, he was speechless. "You actually have so many mirrors in your room."
Ou Xiaoxue said helplessly, "These are all essential for daily use. I need a vanity mirror to comb my hair, right? And when I change clothes, it's not excessive to use a full-length mirror. As for the mirror in the bathroom, most people's bathrooms have mirrors, don't they?"
"These should be standard. I don't have that many, and I haven't added any extra, useless mirrors."
"And if you really compare, my situation is still considered good. Some people even install mirrors on the ceiling directly facing their beds in their bedrooms."
The little fox didn't understand. "That's just sick. Fortunately, your room isn't like that, otherwise, I think you wouldn't need saving; you could already be buried."
The little fox's words were a bit harsh, but it was indeed the case. From a feng shui perspective, mirrors should not be placed directly facing the bed. From a modern scientific perspective, this could also be explained, although the reasons might differ.
From a more scientific viewpoint, people are most disoriented the moment they wake up. Suddenly waking up and seeing their reflection in a mirror could easily cause them to be startled. Those with weaker shock tolerance could even be scared to death. There are real cases of this, not just people's guesses or speculations.
Ou Xiaoxue felt that it was true after hearing that. The little fox was right. "Yes, the malevolent spirits I encountered this time might include mirror spirits. If I had done that, I might have already been dead."
The little fox warned Ou Xiaoxue, "When we go there this time, we don't know what other malevolent spirits we might encounter. However, as for the mirror spirit, it's almost certain. So, you must be very careful not to touch any mirrors or look into them. It's very bad for you."
Ou Xiaoxue cherished her life very much. Although she insisted on going with Ye Tiancheng and the little fox this time, it wasn't to court death. It was to help Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, as it was her own matter, and she couldn't stand aside.
So, Ou Xiaoxue very seriously took note of every piece of advice the little fox gave her, stating that she would absolutely not go near mirrors. To prevent herself from being accidentally possessed by something and touching things she shouldn't, she asked Ye Tiancheng and the little fox to keep a closer eye on her.
Since Ye Tiancheng had brought her out, he naturally had no choice but to do so. At the very least, he had to bring her back safely. He didn't want Ou Xiaoxue to get into trouble, as it was a human life after all.
After entering the villa, the little fox walked around the villa. It wasn't that he didn't find anything. This time, with Ou Xiaoxue acting as bait, the movements of these malevolent spirits were much more obvious. He could sense many things immediately.
When he went into Ou Xiaoxue's room, the little fox clearly felt that there was indeed an unusual aura in Ou Xiaoxue's mirror. It was likely a mirror spirit, and it was indeed related to those bad games.
However, it wasn't easy to catch. The little fox realized this. Mirror spirits were also very sensitive. They knew that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were both dangerous. Although Ou Xiaoxue greatly attracted him, out of instinct to avoid harm, the mirror spirit would definitely not act rashly.
The little fox took out talismans in preparation and said to Ye Tiancheng and Ou Xiaoxue, "Now it's confirmed. There really is a mirror spirit. At least within Ou Xiaoxue's room, this area is basically the mirror spirit's territory. There shouldn't be any other malevolent spirits. These things also have territorial awareness. They probably occupy different territories within Ou Xiaoxue's house."
"Ou Xiaoxue, this is not a small matter. I think you really need to think carefully about how you provoked this mirror spirit."
"This is the last time I'm asking you. Tell me the truth. Have you ever played those bad games? Is this matter related to you? After this, I won't ask you again. But similarly, if you have any accidents because you concealed this, I will not take any responsibility for your safety."
Ou Xiaoxue understood what the little fox meant, but she didn't know how to prove herself. So, after thinking for a moment, Ou Xiaoxue said, "I can guarantee that everything I say is the truth. Is swearing useful? I can swear that what I say is true. I have never played these games, and I don't know how I provoked the mirror spirit. I..."
"I don't know who wants to harm me. I think since this is the reason, then the person who wants to harm me should not be those relatives who are after my parents' money. If they had this ability, they would have done this many years ago and wouldn't have kept me until this age."
"And since this is the reason, then it can only be... it can only be from my school. This is the most likely possibility, because they love playing these games very much. I just don't participate, but I know everything."
As Ou Xiaoxue spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she even had a hint of crying in her voice. Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were a bit troubled. This was not a time for sadness.
Otherwise, why would they say they didn't want to bring Ou Xiaoxue along? This was one of their concerns. This situation was simply troublesome. They didn't know what to do. Even if they had to be sad, they should consider the occasion. At least, life was more important!
Ye Tiancheng comforted Ou Xiaoxue a few times. Ou Xiaoxue reacted and immediately stood up. At this time, she shouldn't be a burden to Ye Tiancheng and the others. Otherwise, she shouldn't have come at all.
Seeing her like this, the little fox and Ye Tiancheng were somewhat relieved. At least she was still rational. This wasn't too bad. They didn't have high expectations for Ou Xiaoxue, as long as she didn't cry and drag them down.
"For the mirror spirit, as long as it doesn't show itself actively, it's easy to hide. I don't think we can deal with it for now, we can only confirm its identity. Otherwise, let's go to other places and see what other malevolent spirits are in this villa?"
"It's rare for them to be so active. When we came before, they weren't very willing to move. Now they seem stimulated. Besides this time, there are no better opportunities to test them."
Ou Xiaoxue had no objections. After composing herself, she followed Ye Tiancheng and the others to search other rooms for clues about other malevolent spirits. Moreover, it had to be said that with Ou Xiaoxue present, everything had become much easier. The little fox immediately discovered many clues.
