Chapter 95: Weaponizing

The sky outside the window had already darkened, and the crescent moon shrouded by the dark clouds looked as if it were being submerged in water.

Lu Yibeis apartment 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.

Mercury 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 memory to any Witch; its rooted in their soul! She may be using mercury 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 some strange symbols that held an unknown meaning.

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 mercury sulphide in a small bowl.

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 squirmed 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 me! Its sucking me dry. Im- Im going to die!

As the eyeballs energy was being drained, the charm began to tremble violently; bursts of emerald 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 times 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 me.

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 me if I was eating durians. Id better get rid of it before somebody reports me 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 time! 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 excitement before letting out a cheer: Sh*t! It cant be
