Chapter 32: Ability and Responsibility Volume 1

  Just like last time, Ou Yang Xun drove away without asking Liu Yi Yang.

  "Where are you planning on taking me?"

  Sitting in the car, it wasn't until after a while that Liu Yi Yang reluctantly asked, thinking that OuYang Xuan had recovered to normal, just a little girl, but now he knew he was wrong, that was OuYang Xuan not going crazy, when she goes crazy, it's still the same.

  "When you get there, you'll know, but remember this time is not for fun, you must be careful!"

  Ouyang Huan turned her head and reminded him in a rare tone, Liu Yiyang's heart slightly calmed down, this reminder proved that she was not going to take herself out to 'flay and extract tendons', which was good.

  The car was speeding along, and many drivers stuck their heads out to scold loudly. Ouyang Xuan was driving too fast, forcing other cars to make emergency evasive maneuvers.

  Liu Yi Yang was still estimating in her heart how many fines she would receive for speeding on this road.

  "Don't worry, I won't get fined, this is a fake license!"

  Ouyang Xuan seemed to know what Liu Yi Yang was thinking, suddenly turned around and said with a smile, startling Liu Yi Yang.

  "With a fake license plate, aren't you afraid of being caught by traffic police?"

  Liu Yi Yang was taken aback, seeming to have thought of something while speaking, and hastily grabbed the seatbelt in the car to buckle himself up. They were still in the city, but Ouyang Xuan's speed had not fallen below eighty. For his own safety, a seatbelt was necessary.

  "Haha, of course I'm not afraid, they can't catch me!"

  Ouyang Xun's words left Liu Yi Yang speechless, tightly grasping the car door handle, and for a moment the car became much quieter, with only the humming sound of the engine when it accelerated.

  Liu Yi Yang's feared police car chase did not appear and soon OuYang Xuan drove the car to the suburbs.

  "Where have you been these past few days?" Liu Yi Yang asked softly, breaking the silence in the car that had grown accustomed to Ouyang Huan's driving speed.

  "Never mind, I've had a streak of bad luck these past few days. I got stuck with a miserable job - some damned grave robbers dug up an ancient tomb. These grave robbers were all newbies, complete idiots, and they actually managed to bring the rice ball back to life! It almost ended up harming innocent civilians... that's why I'm here to clean up this big rice ball!"

  Ouyang Xuan waved her hand and didn't hide it from Liu Yiyang, but she seemed more like complaining.

  Liu Yi Yang slowly opened his mouth, his spirit slightly dazed for a moment. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "What is this 'big zongzi' you're talking about?"

  Ouyang Huan turned her head, glanced at Liu Yi Yang lightly: "It's okay to tell you these things, sooner or later you'll know anyway. The big dumpling is a zombie, an unconscious zombie that only knows how to slaughter!"

  Ouyang Huan's voice was very soft and pleasant to listen to, but Liu Yiyang only felt a numbness all over his body as he listened, with a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

  If someone else had said these things to him, he wouldn't have believed them and would have just thought they were joking, but when it came to Ouyang Xuan's words, he had no choice but to believe.

  He was very clear that Ouyang Huan was absolutely not an ordinary person. The completely inconsistent strength, the mysterious copper mirror still in his body, and everything she showed him, all told him that what she said might be true. She had been absent from school for two days, going to catch a big zongzi, which meant catching a zombie.

  Zombie, big dumplings, thinking of Liu Yi Yang's scalp makes me feel a bit numb.

  Unlike other students, Liu Yi Yang works in an antique shop and has heard many stories about antiques, including some related to tomb raiding.

  When grave robbers steal graves, they often encounter corpses in coffins. Many of these corpses have rotted away, leaving only dry bones. This is nothing to worry about, as long as you are careful with the toxic gases inside the tomb, there will be no harm.

  But there are also some tombs that have been preserved very intact, with no rotting corpses inside the tomb, only dry and long-haired corpses. These corpses are what legend calls "zongzi".

  If one is not careful, they will activate these dumplings, making them grow bigger. The resurrected big dumplings have no intelligence at all and only know how to kill people and suck blood because their bodies lack fresh blood, and they are most eager for blood. These were told by Liu Yi Yang as a story in advance, but he never thought that it would really exist.

  "You, where are you taking me? Not to look for that giant zongzi, right?"

  Liu Yi Yang suddenly thought of something and hastily called out, "Ou Yang Huan came to find me in such a hurry, there must be something going on." Upon hearing this, a bad premonition immediately arose, and he couldn't help but ask.

  "You think I've been slacking off these two days? The rice dumplings have already been collected. This time, I'm looking for you because of something else!"

  Ouyang Huan turned her head and looked at him again, seemingly very dissatisfied with his reaction.

  "You first say clearly, what is it exactly!"

  Liu Yi Yang didn't care about her attitude, tightly grasping the car door handle, if the car wasn't going too fast, he estimated he would have jumped out.

  "It's nothing much, the big zombie was eliminated, but unfortunately a villager was bitten by him and ran away. There is a risk of him turning into a zombie at any time, because he hasn't turned yet, so I couldn't find him. And I'm worried that after he turns, he'll hurt others, so I can only ask you to come over and help me out for now!"

  "What? Looking for people bitten by zombies?"

  Liu Yi Yang was taken aback, sitting there stupidly, his head still buzzing.

  As expected, Ou Yang Xun finding himself was not a good thing. A student with no ability to bind chickens, actually brought him to find such a dangerous person. He had never seen a zombie and didn't know what would happen after being bitten by one. But having never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run. So many zombie movies gave him the best inspiration.

  As soon as he thought of the zombies with exposed fangs, incredibly strong and biting people's necks to suck blood everywhere, Liu Yi Yang's body became even colder.

  "You, why did you look for me to help, and I couldn't even help you with anything?"

  "Because he's still alive, not dead yet and hasn't truly become a zombie, it's hard for me to find him at this time. But you're different, the divine mirror has acknowledged you as its master, and the divine mirror is most sensitive to the world's impurities, the corpse energy on that person's body is one of them. I couldn't detect the corpse energy on his body, but you certainly can, who else should I look for?"

  Ouyang Xun didn't even lift his head, driving quickly and saying softly, Liu Yiyang's body trembled.

  "But don't worry, just use the power of the divine mirror to help me find him, and I'll take care of the rest!"

  As expected, it was because of that mysterious copper mirror that he found him. Liu Yi Yang really wanted to ask if they could not go, but in the end, he didn't say those words out loud.

  Although they didn't have many interactions, he had a certain understanding of this violent queen Liu Yi Yang. Whatever he said would be useless; rather than opening his mouth to be refused and humiliated, it was better not to speak.

  Of course, there is also a bit of male chauvinism at play here on Liu Yiyang's part.

  Other girls are not afraid of these things, but he, a big man, is too scared to go, always feeling a bit embarrassed. Moreover, Ouyang Huan only asked him to find someone, which gave him a little courage.

  The air conditioning in the car was quite effective and very refreshing. As he watched the car drive into the mountains of the suburbs, Liu Yi Yang's heart rate also accelerated slowly and uncompetitively.

  He was very clear that it wouldn't be long before he might encounter those terrifying zombies, even if they hadn't fully transformed yet, they were still zombies.

  He had an inexplicable feeling, from a young age he believed in atheism and was studying medicine, yet one day he followed a pretty girl to catch zombies.

  Catch a zombie?

  Liu Yi Yang suddenly lifted his head and blurted out: "You, are you the Heavenly Master?"

  Ouyang Huan turned back, looking somewhat astonished: "Tian Shi, you say it is so, for us, having more abilities and powers than others means we have more responsibilities than others. This sentence was told to me by my grandfather when I came of age, now I'm telling you!"

  When speaking, Ouyang Huan gave Liu Yiyang a meaningful look and immediately turned her head to look at the road ahead.

  Having more abilities and powers than others is equivalent to having more responsibilities than others. Liu Yi Yang savored this sentence slowly, his heartbeat also slowing down.

  Ouyang Xun is right, he indeed has more abilities and strength than ordinary people, such as his running speed, and also the spiritual energy he absorbs, which allows him to identify the authenticity and value of antiques.

  Without the divine mirror, none of this would have happened. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to spot the fake and help the store recover its losses.

  He was unable to recover his losses, let alone receive a reward of 50,000 yuan, and there would be no subsequent discovery of the jade pendant worth 400,000.

  The divine mirror has granted him many abilities, possibly some unknown ones. Now that he has obtained these abilities, it is only natural for him to take on the responsibilities that come with them.

  After understanding this, Liu Yiyang's heart became unusually calm, and he no longer showed any signs of fear when hearing the word "zombie".

  She secretly observed him, noticing the flash of approval in Ou Yang Hua's eyes. She didn't know what Liu Yi Yang was thinking, but his behavior was clearly different from before. An ordinary person could hardly recover and calm down so quickly in such a situation; he had the qualifications to enter the Eight Trigrams Gate.

  It's good to bring along, and it will be a good seedling in the future too.

  Ouyang Xun was very satisfied with Liu Yiyang, and his mood improved a lot, no longer dwelling on the fact that he couldn't find him in the morning.

  In fact, Ou Yang Huan found Liu Yi Yang was not easy. She first asked for Liu Yi Yang's phone number from somewhere else, and when no one answered the call, she went to school to ask about Liu Yi Yang's whereabouts, even directly heading towards the boys' dormitory.

  Liu Wei dazedly told her that Liu Yi Yang had gone to the antique society, participating in the activities of the antique society.

  She waited until the antique shop, and the minibus had already left. After asking people where they went, she drove all the way to the Youth Activity Center to find Liu Yi Yang.

  She was so angry because it took too long to find someone.

  At this meeting, those bad emotions had gradually disappeared. Ouyang Huan suddenly felt that Liu Yiyang was not a bad person either. Although he snatched his own divine weapon, at least he took responsibility and was willing to take on the responsibility.

  Liu Yi Yang left a good impression on Ouyang Xun for the first time.
