The sky outside the window had already darkened, and the crescent moon shrouded by the dark clouds looked as if it were being subrged in water.
Lu Yibeis apartnt was pitch black, but conveniently, becoming a Witch grants her night vision. Unpacking her parcel, she spread the materials out on her coffee table and went through them one by one.
rcury sulphide, carving knife, mahogany
She requested the store to cut the mahogany into small pieces, the size of a card with the thickness of a finger.
She couldnt believe they charged her twenty yuan extra.
However, since it was beautifully cut, she couldnt complain.
Her friends surrounded her, looking at the items on the table like curious parents about the trinkets their child had brought back.
Ms Witch, what are you doing?
Shes dabbling in the arts of alchemy! the eyeball yelled. Its muscle mory to any Witch; its rooted in their soul! She may be using rcury now, but one day shell use humans, and
Shell use urban legends! For example, shell start with you, another piped up.
Shut up!
Lu Yibei got a little impatient with their banter, picking up a few pieces of mahogany and throwing them towards them.
They scrambled away stealthily into the shadows, and she couldnt help but sigh. Their minds were immature, like childrens.
She shrugged her shoulders and concentrated her energy on crafting the Charm.
Recalling Brights recipe, she picked up the carving knife and a piece of wood and carefully carved it according to the pattern in the recipe.
Although the wood was sturdy, she was proficient in the ways of using a knife, so she was quick and accurate in her carvings.
Half an hour later, she completed the carvingspatterns symbolising the wind and the sun, as well as so strange symbols that held an unknown aning.
Putting down the carved wood, Yibei sighed and took a short rest before getting up to fetch the purified water he had prepared earlier and mixed the rcury sulphide in a small bowl.
Bright used a porcelain bowl, but Yibei couldnt look at porcelain the sa anymore.
Besides, she fears that Zigu might be related to porcelain. It was better to not take a risk.
With a brush dipped into the mixture of rcury sulphide and water, Yibei fixed her eyes and started to paint according to Brights recipe.
Unlike cooking, she had no talent for painting, and Brights mories dont exactly translate into muscle mory.
According to the recipe, it must be painted in one single stroke, so she drew extra carefully and slowly.
During this ti, her apparitions fell silent and laid on the sofa behind her, watching intently.
It was functionally easier than carving, but it took her twice as long to finish painting.
The Charm seed to possess so kind of power; while making it, she could feel her spirit weaken slightly.
While waiting for the paint to dry, she tilted her head and stared at the Charm as she fiddled with her hair.
Their mories are getting to , she thought, Daydream loves to play with her hair, and here I am.
Shifting through her mories, it was ti for the final step, which was also the step that Bright had failed.
What does imbue with energy to awaken it an? She frowned, going through her mories once again.
She saw Bright attempting to imbue the charm with magic but failing to do sosun exposure, moonlight exposure, tossing it into the microwave, being baptised by a priest
She guessed that it ant channelling her psychic energy into the charm, but she didnt know how to control her own powers. Turning around, she eyed her audience, which looked at her with expecting eyes.
Which of you can control psychic energy? Co and do a favour.
Working together, the apparitions nodded and threw their common sacrifice over.
Hey, bastards! the eyeball yelled as it conjured a middle finger, only to be lifted up by Yibei.
Co on. Psychic energy.
Absolutely not! I would rather die than help you!
Well, in that case, she smiled, opening her mouth to reveal a set of pearly white teeth.
W-w-wait! F-fine! Just a little, Ill give it to you!
The eyeball squird out of her grip and landed on the coffee table. Leaning towards the charm, it made a few gestures in the air to imbue the charm with psychic energy, only to scream out in agony.
A-ack! Help ! Its sucking dry. Im- Im going to die!
As the eyeballs energy was being drained, the charm began to tremble violently; bursts of erald green light illuminated the charm, and the symbols glowed with radiant light.
The eyeball started to shrivel.
Seeing this, Yibei hurried forward, and it took a lot of effort to separate it from the charm before its life force was syphoned out.
The charm flickered a few tis in the dark before splitting into two and falling back on the coffee table.
Yibei held the eyeball gingerly in her hands and whispered, Are are you alright?
Y-you should have just eaten .
The eyeball closed, and the other apparitions were visibly petrified.
Yibei laid the eyeball down on the couch and instructed them to take good care of the eyeball before going back upstairs.
If the eyeballs energy is fine, then the energy left within an urban legends core must be fine too.
Its not like I can continue eating them anyways, and theyre rotting away in my room. A stupid neighbour asked if I was eating durians. Id better get rid of it before sobody reports for hiding a corpse.
She was much faster when making the second charm, and it only took ten minutes to make it. After a brief thought, she picked up half of the core of the urban legend and tried cutting it with the carving knife, but found that it could barely make a dent into the core.
What the but I cut it open in an instant the last ti! Wait
Thinking of this, she dashed towards the kitchen and found her familys ancestral knife.
Taking the kitchen knife, she brought it down upon the core, and the core was cut in half easily.
Raising the knife in her hand, she breathed out shallow breaths of excitent before letting out a cheer: Sh*t! It cant be
