Chapter 584 Bacteria
"Usually, a clean freak wouldnât be willing to touch something dirty," Jiang Yan explained.
Zhou Wen was enlightened. "You mean to say that you want us to dirty our bodies? Then, Bai Ze wonât be willing to touch us. You should have said so earlier. This isnât anything difficult. It would have been better for me to make preparations earlier though. Iâd have got some pot-bottom soot before coming..."
"Thatâs not the case. No matter how dirty our bodies are, it doesnât matter to Bai Ze. This is because it doesnât need to touch us at all. It only needs one word to finish us. If weâre dirty, it might attract its annoyance. It could chase us off the mountain, but after seeing how dirty we are, it might just throw us down the cliff to our deaths," Jiang Yan said as he shook his head.
"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Wen really couldnât figure out what Jiang Yan meant.
"What I mean is that perhaps we have a way to make Bai Ze unwilling to even look at us or even say a word to us," Jiang Yan said.
"How is this possible? No matter how dirty we are, itâs impossible for it to not even look at us, right? Even if it doesnât wish to look at us, it just needs to close its eyes. Then, it can just say a word to make us scram down the mountain." No matter how Zhou Wen thought about it, it was impossible for something like that to happen.
"Of course itâs possible. As long as you do as I say, you can definitely do it," Jiang Yan said confidently.
"How?" Zhou Wen asked in disbelief.
"Youâll know when you read this." Jiang Yanâs glabella shimmered with a purple light. His originally immobile body, like Zhou Wenâs, began moving. Then, he threw a book in front of Zhou Wen.
This only lasted for an instant. After doing all of this, the purple light between Jiang Yanâs eyebrows vanished and his body returned to a frozen state.
"Take a good look at the content of the comic book and you will know what to do," Jiang Yan said.
Bai Ze clearly had absolute confidence in itself. Although it had heard Zhou Wen and Jiang Yanâs conversation and could understand what they were talking about, it didnât mind at all. It looked at them as though they were two idiots.
From its point of view, no matter what Zhou Wen and Jiang Yan did, it only needed one word to finish off the two idiots.
Zhou Wen couldnât move his body. Thankfully, his mouth could still move. He blew at the comic book on the ground and used the airflow to flip the pages.
This was one of the volumes of a comic book. There was zero context to what was happening, and Zhou Wen didnât understand what it meant, but after reading for a while, his expression gradually changed.
The content of the comic book looked very normal, as though there was nothing special about it. It was just that the scene did not seem to contain any unbearable content.
Bai Ze lay there and secretly opened its eyes to steal a glance. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the drawing, it closed its eyes and leisurely continued resting.
"Are you sure this will work?" Zhou Wen asked Jiang Yan with a strange expression after reading it.
Jiang Yan said with certainty, "Definitely."
"Will Bai Ze kill us if we do this?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Definitely not. Your blood will only make it feel that it has tainted its territory," Jiang Yan said.
"Wait, what do you mean by saying that Iâve tainted its territory? Shouldnât it be us?" Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss.
"Ah Wen, this matter can only be done by you. I canât do it," Jiang Yan said sincerely.
"We are all men. Why can I do it but you canât?" Zhou Wen immediately retorted. He didnât believe Jiang Yanâs nonsense.
"Actually, Iâm also a clean freak. The severity isnât any better than Bai Zeâs. Thatâs why I need your help. Otherwise, I could do it myself. I wouldnât have to bring you here," Jiang Yan continued sincerely. "Itâs also because Iâm a clean freak that I know this method will definitely succeed."
"I donât believe you! If you want to do it, we do it together. No way Iâm doing it myself," Zhou Wen said through gritted teeth.
"Sorry, Ah Wen. Iâll make it up to you in the future." As Jiang Yan spoke, the purple light on his glabella lit up again, allowing him to temporarily escape Bai Zeâs control.
In the next second, Jiang Yan flicked his hand and shot out a piece of paper. It landed right above Zhou Wenâs head.
After doing this, the purple light between Jiang Yanâs eyebrows dimmed again and he became immobile.
"What are you doing? Whatâs that on my head?" Zhou Wen looked up diagonally, but he couldnât see anything above his head.
"This is an Epic Companion Beast named Head Paper Figurine. As long as it lands on your head, it can control your body. Then, whatever it does, your body will follow. Donât worry. The Head Paper Figurineâs control of your body is similar to the control of a puppet. Your body is still fixed, but it doesnât affect what you are needed to do..."
As Jiang Yan explained, the Head Paper Figurine stood up. It was a paper figurine cut out of yellow paper. It didnât have a nose or eyes. It was a human-shaped paper figurine.
However, when it stood above Zhou Wenâs head, his originally immobile body began moving like a puppet, but it looked extremely stiff.
"Donât worry. Iâve already gotten someone to teach it all the actions. It will complete them in one go at the fastest speed possible. Remember to say the lines..." Jiang Yan closed his eyes. He didnât even want to look at the scene or even imagine it.
"No... No..." Zhou Wenâs eyes widened as he looked down. He watched helplessly as his hand pulled at his pants like lightning.
"Ah Wen, it will be hard on you. Iâll make it up to you in the future." Jiang Yan closed his eyes with an ashamed expression.
However, all of a sudden, Jiang Yanâs expression changed drastically as he suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils darted sideways, but he didnât see Zhou Wen.
The purple light between Jiang Yanâs eyebrows immediately erupted again, but it was already too late. Zhou Wen appeared behind him, revealing a devil-like smile as he held the Head Paper Figurine with one hand as it constantly struggled. However, it couldnât escape his palm.
As for Zhou Wenâs other hand, he had already grabbed Jiang Yanâs pants and pulled them down. Then, he flew up and kicked Jiang Yanâs buttocks. Jiang Yanâs pupils immediately constricted as he rolled towards Bai Ze with a look of despair.
"Haha, Brother Bai Ze, take a closer look at the spot that this fellow has rolled over. Those places have already been contaminated by his filthy bacteria... The wind will cause the filthy bacteria to constantly spread... Soon, the entire mountain peak will be covered in dirty bacteria... Make sure you donât let him scram down the mountain... Wherever he rolls will be tainted by dirty bacteria..." Zhou Wen said smugly when he suddenly saw a purple whip wrap around his leg at some point in time.
"Ah!" Jiang Yan, who was rolling towards Bai Ze, gritted his teeth and pulled. Zhou Wenâs pants ruptured as his body fell to the ground and also rolled towards Bai Ze.
