Chapter 544

"What? The promo didn't pass, Sheriff Black, why exactly is that?"

"Because you filmed it too well, so well it doesn't look like something that could really happen. I took it up as a report promo, and the people upstairs actually thought I was wasting District 13's funding, filming a fantasy tokusatsu movie."

Returning to San Francisco, after Xiao Yu handed the edited blockbuster to Sheriff Black, she quickly received a terrible reply.

"But you only gave me an Agent Camera, and reimbursed our expenses for Long Shu and me to go to Los Angeles, Hollywood."

"Uh, actually, District 13 also compensated for a car's repair costs. Of course, that's not a big problem. So, as long as we don't take this promo that was treated as a special effects movie up there, it'll be fine."

Sheriff Black could well understand Xiao Yu's mood. She had clearly worked hard to film a very good Agent promo, but it was rejected by the Client.

Although he was one of the Client's people, this matter wasn't up to him alone. Especially with the Black Hand Gang still not caught, Sheriff Black still needed to be responsible to his superiors.

"But Sheriff, you know it's all real. Even on Hollywood Hills, you should be able to find traces of Broly and the Thunder Demon's battle."

Xiao Yu said somewhat unwillingly.

"Yes, we found them. But they were classified as traces caused by natural disasters. No one is willing to believe it. Even if I show them what you filmed, it's the same. They even said, 'Do I treat them like stupid goods?'"

Sheriff Black explained patiently.

And in fact, he was also very helpless. Real documentary footage was treated as a special effects movie.

If he admitted it was a special effects movie, it was wasting funds. If he insisted it was real footage, he'd have to face a psychiatrist again.

A more serious situation: he might face forced suspension again, and might even be judged incapable of continuing as Sheriff of District 13.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Sheriff Black could only admit the former, writing a self-criticism that he shouldn't have used exaggerated techniques to film the District 13 Agent promo, but should have used more realistic methods.

And this was only because the promo funding he reported wasn't much, and he had some personal connections, that the higher-ups didn't investigate District 13's fund usage further.

"Xiao Yu, I can fully invest in you filming a new promo. Just this time, we have to strip out demons, superpowers, and other supernatural elements."

"Isn't that faking it?"

"You have to consider ordinary people's acceptance level."

"Okay, but Sheriff Black, can I take the movie I filmed to Hollywood for release?"

"Oh, no. Of course not."

Sheriff Black hurriedly shook his head. As long as Xiao Yu's footage wasn't released, anything could be explained. But if it was released and publicized, he might be treated as a criminal embezzling District 13 funds.

Even if he hadn't done that, he would still be suspected. After all, making that real footage with special effects would cost a lot of money.

"But I promised Larry, and I have to prove to my classmates at school that my and Broly's action scenes are the best!"

"Uh, who is Larry?"

"A big Hollywood director. The footage I shot was edited with his help. And I agreed on some things with him, like Long Shu and Broly participating in movies he might film in the future. And if I breach the contract, he'll sue me."

Sheriff Black touched his chin: "No problem. I'll help you solve this. Give me his number. I'll personally negotiate with him later. As for you wanting to go to school to prove to other classmates that your and Broly's action scenes are the best, I think as long as you don't credit District 13 and spread it everywhere, this rejected promo should be enough for you to prove it."

Xiao Yu gave Larry's number. Sheriff Black returned the documentary raw footage to her. When asked if she still wanted to participate in filming the new promo, Xiao Yu said she had school and no time. Sheriff Black didn't insist.

It was later, when Broly was eating in the District 13 cafeteria, that he saw an Agent promo credited to Director Larry playing on the wall TV.

Obviously, Sheriff Black of District 13 and big Hollywood Director Larry had reached another filming cooperation.

"Larry called to thank me. Said I introduced him to new connections. Also said when I grow up, if I'm interested in entering the film industry as a director, I should consider his company."

Larry called to thank me, saying I introduced him to new connections, and also said that when I grow up, if I'm interested in entering the film industry as a director, I should consider his Company.

"Sounds not bad. But I think the Agent profession attracts me more."

Going to school today, Xiao Yu brought the Agent Polaroid. This was another reward she got, a useful Agent tool.

At school end, she invited some classmates at school to project a blockbuster that couldn't be released in the classroom, drawing amazed exclamations from the students who watched.

She gave Xiao Zhu, who said real action movies are in Hollywood, a hard slap in the face. Although the other party still insisted the movie hadn't entered theaters, no one cared about his words anymore.

Xiao Zhu, who spoke of real Action Movies in Hollywood, was slapped hard in the face, although the other party still stubbornly claimed this movie hadn't entered the Cinema, no one cared about his words anymore.

"Broly, did you really fight a great war with a demon? And can you really throw energy bullets that explode?"

After the movie finished playing, Xiao Yu and Broly were surrounded so tightly not even water could get through. All kinds of questions were asked.

To not give Sheriff Black trouble, Xiao Yu and Broly directly gave negative answers: "Everyone, please believe in science. That was just action scenes plus special effects."

And somewhat ironically, before, Xiao Yu told her adventure stories so exaggeratedly that many students didn't believe her stories were real.

But now she and Broly together denied the movie story's authenticity, yet some students thought she was covering something up.

"It must be real. Xiao Yu and Broly are definitely members of a Super Agent Organization. They probably signed a contract requiring public secrecy, so they can't reveal secrets to the public. That's why they said it was special effects."

Of course, talk is talk. No one could verify this suspicion. So only a minority firmly believed it. And Xiao Yu once again showed off greatly at school. Her heart gaining immense satisfaction, she recently didn't compete so fiercely to prove things to others anymore.

Of Course, talk is talk, but no one could Prove This Kind of Doubt, so only a minority firmly believed it, while Xiao Yu once again Showed off at School, and she, whose Psychology Obtained great Satisfaction, recently wasn't so Competitive Spirit, wanting to Prove something to others.

"Exhale, inhale. Qi follows body movement. Feel the flow of Qi Jin inside the body......"

The girl recently learned Qi Refining Fist from Broly. Perhaps because she had a kung fu foundation, she learned very fast.

"I can already feel Qi flowing inside my body. But when will I be able to fly in the sky like you?"

After finishing practice, letting out a long breath, Xiao Yu asked.

"Roughly ten times your current Qi. But if you want to fly now, I can actually carry you to fly."

"Probably need about ten times your current Qi, but if you want to Fly now, I can actually take you Flying."

"Okay. By the way, Xiao Yu, why haven't I seen your uncle recently?"

"You mean Long Shu. He went on an archaeological dig. Said he's looking for a book Dad wants."

"You mean Long Shu, he went on an archaeological expedition, saying he's going to Search for a book Father wants."

"I don't know either. Maybe you can go ask Dad."

Leaving the District 13 training room together, Xiao Yu brought Broly back to the Antique Shop.

The Antique Shop had a rare antique customer today. Dad made a good deal. His mood was good, lying on the rocking chair humming a little tune.

The Antique Shop Seldom had an Antique Customer today, Father made a good deal, Mood just right lying on the rocking chair humming a little tune.

Xiao Yu, entering, called out to Dad on the rocking chair.

Xiao Yu, who had just entered, called out to the old man on the rocking chair.

"You're back. Did you go train with Broly again today?"

"Mm."

Xiao Yu nodded, then asked, "Dad, Broly wants to look at your book collection. Is that okay?"

"Eh? Young people like old books too?"

Dad was a bit surprised, but still waved his hand, letting Xiao Yu take the boy to look.

Xiao Yu happily brought Broly running into Dad's study, directly handing him a magic book to read.

On the way, the two expanded on the topic of books.

And what they discussed most were the spellbooks recording Qi Magic Spells.

Broly was interested in this, and Xiao Yu also liked playing teacher.

"Look, this is the Elementary Duplication Spell. I've used it to copy myself many times, and even defeated the Mountain River Demon."

Xiao Yu introduced the first spell, then asked, "Broly, want to try?"

"Can I?"

"Of course."

"Xiao Yu, time to eat, ah!"

In the evening, Tru came to the study to call Xiao Yu for dinner, and was scared by the scene inside.

"What's wrong, Tru?"

Hearing the noise, Dad came over to ask.

【78】 "Master, there are a whole bunch of Xiao Yus and Brolys in the room."

"Master, inside the Room, there are many Xiao Yus and Brolys."

Dad looked into the room and saw eight Xiao Yus and eight Brolys inside. He crossed his arms: "Xiao Yu, you're messing around with the Duplication Spell again?!"

"Ah, Dad, I'm just helping Broly read books more efficiently. I'm not messing around. Don't believe me? Look, I've already prepared the antidote to cancel the Duplication Spell."

The Xiao Yus explained in unison, raising their hands to point at the potion on the table for canceling the Duplication Spell.

"Then hurry up and revert. Dad can't feed this many mouths."

After the main body was poured with the potion, those individuals copied by the Duplication Spell quickly dissipated, turning into streams of Qi carrying memories that returned into the main body.

After experiencing it, Broly felt this world's magic was also wondrous, not inferior to the Six-Faced World's magic.

Even in clone techniques, the Duplication Spell might be more ingenious than the Water Element Mimicry Clone, because after the Qi Magic Spell clone is canceled, the clone's experienced memories return together, just like... the Shadow Clone Technique.

Broly scratched his head, a new term rarely surfacing in his consciousness.

Of course, the spell clone also has some shortcomings: the clones copied by the spell are all very weak, seemingly only having Xiao Yu's strength.

"Dad, are there higher-level Duplication Spells?"

Broly asked.

"What, you still want to copy more of yourself?"

Dad looked over.

"I just feel this spell helps one person do different things at the same time."

Broly had already thought of other uses for the Duplication Spell, and was very interested in it.

"Broly, the power of spells is very dangerous. Overusing spell power will lead to the appearance of calamity."

Dad started lecturing.

"But I need it."

With more and more wives, Broly really needed a special trick to split himself into multiple parts. The Water Element Clone is mimicry — called a clone, but actually a fake body condensed from his Qi, completely different from the clone split off by the Duplication Spell.

"Mm, alright. If you can guarantee to Dad that you'll only use spells when necessary, then Dad can teach you Qi Magic Spells."

Dad had already reacted — the Saiyan boy from another world before him had power stronger than spells himself. Thinking it over, he proposed a requirement.

"No problem. I owe you a favor. If you need me to do something, I can help."

"Dad doesn't need you to do anything. If I must say there is something, then please just keep being an honest good kid. Right, Broly, are you staying here for dinner tonight?"

"Can I?"

"I cooked your portion."

Tru winked at him.

"Dad, what book did Uncle Long go find?"

At the dining table, seeing the matter was over, Xiao Yu curiously asked.

"The Complete Compendium of Spells."

"What's that?"

"It's a spellbook compiled by demons. Legend says it records all magic mastered by demons."

Dad answered.

"Ah, a demon spellbook. Dad, why did you have Uncle Long find that? Could it be Dad wants to become a new demon?!"

Xiao Yu had just finished speaking when his forehead took a hit from Dad's chopsticks: "How could Dad become a demon? There's a saying: know yourself and know your enemy, and a hundred battles will not end in peril. Dad wants to see if he can find a way to preemptively seal the Gates of Hell of other demons from inside that Complete Compendium of Spells!"

"So that's how it is."

"Actually, there's also a pretty good demon among demons. Wonder if he can be released from Hell."

Broly suddenly interjected.

"Eh?"

Hearing this, the other three at the dining table immediately looked his way.

"Broly, how could you say something like that?"

Dad spoke up.

"Eh, haven't I told you?"

"Told us what?"

"I came out of Hell, and the way I came out was through the Shen Yu Zhi Men; it was given to me by another demon."

Broly told the story of Xiao Feng at the dining table, making Tru and the others click their tongues in amazement; unexpectedly, among demons, there was actually such a guy who valued credibility.

"The Saint Lord's physical body was eliminated, and the world's yin and yang are out of balance; if a demon truly needs to manifest in the world to balance the yin and yang of the world, then that Wind Demon might be a good choice."

Old Man stroked his chin, and instead gave out some good news.

"That's great."

"Don't get too happy too soon; Old Man must first seal the Gates of Hell of the other demons one by one."

"I will help."

"Broly stands on the side of Righteous Qi; if you all want to completely break free from Hell, then he is an enemy you must face, but it seems none of you are his match......"

The Saint Lord possessing Walong stood before the mirror, yet He was contacting the other demons in Hell through the ancient mirror before Him.

Of course, it was the demons who took the initiative to contact the Saint Lord; they were originally pressing the Saint Lord for an explanation regarding Zhong Su's betrayal, wanting the Saint Lord to give an account, and this matter had already been resolved.

Because Zhong Su betrayed the Saint Lord first, this almost caused the demons whose Gates of Hell had not yet been opened to lose the opportunity to leave Hell.

So, the demons harshly taught Zhong Su, who had returned to Hell, a lesson; after venting anger for the Saint Lord, the Saint Lord then spoke of the greatest difficulty in breaking free from the seal.

Not Jackie Chan, nor the old man who could cast sealing spells, but a Saiyan boy more powerful than their demons.

After the matter in Hollywood ended, the Saint Lord thought carefully and discovered the problem within; what was being evenly matched with Zhong Su was simply people playing with him and the other demons.

And the greatest proof was the continuous help of Black Qi; if the difference in strength was not vast, how could such a result be caused?

"Saint Lord, do you intend to renege? Don't forget we have all cast spell power upon you; as long as we all agree, your soul will be pulled back into Hell by us."

The demons in the mirror looked unfavorably at the Saint Lord.

"Calm down, my brothers and sisters in Hell; how could I possibly renege? In fact, I am already thinking of ways; I've sent people to search for our 'Fu Shu Dazuan'; perhaps there is a spell on it to deal with Broly, that monster more monstrous than our demons!"

"Best be so."

On the other side, inside an ancient castle with a sense of history, Archaeologist Jackie Chan got the Fu Shu Dazuan first, but was blocked on the ladder by the Black Shadow Corps who arrived right after.

Fortunately, on the Black Shadow Corps' side were the three Black Hand Gang members, Afeng, La Su, and Zhou; they pushed the ladder and actually helped Jackie Chan complete a rapid descent of jumping off a cliff and grabbing the castle curtain like a parachute.

They messed up the matter; fortunately, the Black Shadow Corps could not speak in defense; when returning to report to the Saint Lord, the three shifted the blame for not getting the Fu Shu Dazuan onto the Black Shadow Corps.
