Chapter 547: Black Shadow Queen Incident (Part 1)

"Tru."

"What is it, Broly?"

"Does Old Dad need that Fu Shu Dazuan right now?"

Broly, coming downstairs, asked the big guy Tru.

"Probably not. Master didn't bring the Fu Shu Dazuan into the room."

"Then can I take a look at it?"

"It's all ancient writing on there; without a Translation you definitely won't understand it."

"Doesn't matter, I just want to see the pattern on the cover."

"Alright then, it's on the bookshelf in the Study."

Tru pointed out the Fu Shu Dazuan's storage location to Broly, then continued sweeping.

Broly went to the Study, took down the Fu Shu Dazuan, and used a colored pen to draw a Mo Yin Yin Ji on his palm identical to the one on Xiao Yu's ankle.

"Black Shadow Corps, arrive before me."

After doing this, returning to his Rented Room, Broly attempted to issue a command.

Only to see the shadows in the room twist; a group of Black Shadow Corps ninja quickly appeared before him.

Same as before, they knelt on one knee to him.

"Some difference from the Water Elemental. My Qi merely serves as the activation source, while these ninja soldiers' continued existence is maintained by another power — dark, cold, just like the color on these ninja soldiers. Is it Darkness Attribute power? Return, come out..."

Broly commanded the ninja soldiers to move in and out of the shadows, and soon discovered that during this process that hidden dark power attempted to integrate into his body along the mark on his palm.

To describe specifically, this power is somewhat like an energy-body parasite, but because its power is far too weak relative to his own Qi, it instead gives a somewhat rootless, unable-to-take-hold feeling.

"But what if I actively accept it?"

Broly thought for a moment, then tried it, actively opening a gap to let this power enter.

And after this power merged into his Qi, Broly felt like he somewhat wanted to eat something.

Aside from that, there was no other feeling.

Oh no, wait, sensing carefully, Broly detected that his Qi was being seized.

Although the amount was very small, it was indeed leaking away.

And the target of the leakage seemed to be this group of ninja he had summoned.

His Qi seemed to have strengthened this group of ninja, although not by his own active will.

"Summon more ninja."

Broly issued the command again, and quickly discovered he seemed able to perceive the operation trajectories of deeper shadow power.

And within this, there seemed to be traces of some rather complex Copy Spell.

"No wonder you ninja all look exactly the same. So you're all cast from a template — copied energy-body summoned units!"

Just as Broly finished speaking, several ninja soldiers jumped in through the Window and knelt before him, each holding Cola, Chicken Wings, French Fries, Hamburgers and other food, presenting them with both hands.

"Hey, you can even perceive my thoughts to act? But did you pay money for the things you brought for someone else?"

Broly asked, and one ninja soldier took some money from under the Pillow on his bed and silently jumped out the Window.

"You didn't give me anything at all!"

"No, I did. They're clearly right here."

Hamburger shop, Employee and customer arguing over a mysteriously missing combo meal.

"Then you tell me, besides a stack of US Dollars, what else is on this Plate?!"

The customer pointed at the Plate and angrily shouted, but quickly reacted — a stack of US Dollars?!

"Uh, I think I must have remembered wrong."

"No no no, you definitely didn't remember wrong, I remembered wrong. I already ate the stuff. Here, this is the meal cost and your tip, the rest is mine."

The ninja silently withdrew from the roof, while Broly in the room watched the ninja who went out to pay return, his Mood somewhat Subtle.

"This thing's intelligence level doesn't seem too great."

One Western fast food meal, yet the other party took all the change from under his pillow — nearly two hundred US Dollars — to pay.

"No no no, I don't need you to get it back."

Besides that, the sensitivity to perceiving his thoughts seems a bit high; he merely had a fleeting thought and the ninja soldiers prepared to act.

But Xiao Yu's ninja soldiers clearly still need Xiao Yu to verbally command them. Is it because my Qi links to them?

Broly thought, then severed the Link between his Qi and the ninja soldiers. After losing contact, when he thought in his heart for them to leave, the ninja in the room merely silently stared at him, seemingly awaiting this New Owner's command.

While eating a Hamburger, Broly researched the ninja soldiers' summoning and Control System, and of course the possible influence this control and summoning might have on himself.

This research lasted the whole night; when dawn broke, he washed up on time and went out to find Xiao Yu.

"Broly, please watch Xiao Yu a bit more at school. Absolutely don't let her cause trouble at school, especially summoning the Black Shadow Corps to show off."

In front of Old Dad Antique Shop's Front Door, Jackie Chan was somewhat worried about Xiao Yu's situation, and so admonished Broly beside him.

Compared to his Niece's occasional unreliability, the Saiyan boy was far more reliable. At least Jackie Chan was more willing to trust Broly.

"Uncle Long, I would never do that kind of thing!"

Xiao Yu looked somewhat Angry. She felt her uncle was treating her like a child, even though as a Middle School Student she indeed was a child.

But children this age hate nothing more than others treating them like children, especially since Xiao Yu's Physical Development is slower than the Majority of Same Age peers.

"No problem, I'll watch over Xiao Yu."

Broly nodded in agreement.

"Broly, how can you be like this too?"

Xiao Yu looked over very Dissatisfied, and her Temper seemed a bit more Explosive than usual.

"Alright, come with me quick. I have something good to show you."

Broly knew this was the influence brought by the mark; it would amplify some of the owner's desires and emotions, especially the negative aspects.

"What do you want to show me?"

Xiao Yu's curiosity was piqued, and after breaking free from Jackie Chan's gaze at the antique shop's front door, Broly spread open his right hand toward Xiao Yu, revealing the same mark in his palm.

"Oh, Broly, you also tattooed a demon mark on yourself?"

"Mine is drawn on too."

"Then can you command the Black Shadow Corps too?"

Xiao Yu was very excited; Broly's act of also drawing the demon mark gave her a feeling of camaraderie, like a friend doing the same thing together.

"Yes, I can command them, and I discovered some drawbacks of this mark."

"What drawbacks?"

"The more we use it, the more the power of shadows will affect our hearts; it amplifies the emotions in our hearts."

"That doesn't sound like a big problem."

"Indeed it's not a big problem; just learn to control your emotions."

Broly nodded, acknowledging Xiao Yu's statement of "not a big problem," because the influence this thing brought was indeed not as great as the Saiyan's super male nature's influence on his childhood self.

"Then can we summon ninjas in school?"

Xiao Yu asked, and Jackie Chan hadn't misjudged his niece; Xiao Yu indeed had the idea of showing off a bit in front of her classmates.

"I'm afraid that won't work, because I promised Jackie Chan I'd watch over you in school."

Broly's words made Xiao Yu's mood fall.

"However, after school, we can perhaps have a ninja war in the park."

But his next sentence made the girl happy again.

"School hasn't even started yet, and I'm already looking forward to after school."

Time flew by, and soon it was noon.

In the ventilation ducts of the world's safest District 13, several uninvited guests entered.

These uninvited guests were precisely the Black Hand Gang trio and Black Tiger Ah Fu, who had been shrunk by the Saint Lord using a spell.

"I feel like we're rats."

"Rats carrying fake talismans at that."

"I don't understand why the Saint Lord made us come carrying fake talismans; clearly he just needed to take the real talismans away."

"I think I know the reason; the Saint Lord might be afraid that after taking the talismans, District 13's people would discover it, and District 13 might dispatch Broly to deal with us.

So he had us bring these fake talismans in to swap the real ones, so the theft wouldn't be detected."

"La Su, when did your brain get so sharp?"

"Thanks for the praise, wait, are you saying my brain usually doesn't work well?"

"Cut the chatter, you guys, hold the rope tight, I'm going down!"

In the room where District 13 stores the talismans, Black Tiger Ah Fu drilled out from the ventilation duct.

"Fish Hawk Dive!"

He whispered some slick lines, then jumped down from the narrow ventilation duct opening; the rope stopped him in front of the bulletproof glass. Ah Fu took out a diamond from his pocket, scored a circle on the glass, then swung up and kicked continuously at the circled spot.

In the room laid out with numerous laser devices, there happened to be no sensors inside the bulletproof glass cover — whether from overconfidence or intentionally leaving a loophole to facilitate a certain girl who can walk stairs and use passwords to open doors to directly take talismans.

In short, this instead became a loophole allowing the Black Hand Gang and others to get the talismans; Ah Fu crawled onto the Rooster Talisman and flew up stepping on it.

"First is the Ox Talisman, giving me infinite strength."

A creaking sound rang out; the narrow ventilation duct opening was torn open a gap. The infinitely strong Ah Fu quickly moved all the fake talismans down through the gap, then moved all the real talismans up.

And before leaving, he didn't forget to use the Horse Talisman to repair the broken glass cover and the torn ventilation duct opening.

"Broly, I'm not saying you eat too much, just that you eat too full every meal; that's not good for breast health."

Broly, who came to District 13 to mooch lunch again, was accompanied out of District 13 by Captain Black.

"But I only ate eight-tenths full."

"The nutrition doctor's advice is that eating seven-tenths full is enough for a person."

The Black Hand Gang members held their breath, hiding at the ventilation duct exit, not daring to make a sound.

Broly glanced at the duct, felt there was some Qi there, thought it was rats and didn't pay much attention.

"I'm going back to school."

After Broly, who came to District 13 to mooch lunch, left, the Black Hand Gang members dared to leave with the talismans.

They sprinted back to the car by the road, used a magic potion to restore their body size, then hurriedly drove back to the new secret base.

The Saint Lord saw they successfully returned with the talismans and was very satisfied, then gave La Su and the others a new mission, and this mission was actually to secretly photograph Broly's full-body photo.

"Damn, secret photography; we'll definitely be discovered, right?!"

La Su and the others holding cameras were very confused; they felt secretly photographing Broly was even more dangerous than stealing the talismans.

"Perhaps we can hire someone else to help us take his photo."

In the afternoon, school ended; Xiao Yu pulled Broly to the park, but on the way was stopped by an unfamiliar youth.

"What are you trying to do, you bastard?"

Xiao Yu looked at the guy blocking her from going to play the ninja war game with a somewhat unkind gaze.

"Please don't misunderstand; I have no malice. My name is Green Light; I'm a street photographer. Seeing you two are very photogenic, I wanted to ask if you want to take a photo."

"Do we need to pay?"

Xiao Yu asked vigilantly.

"Of course it's free, but I need the right to use the photo for free."

"You've got an eye, Broly. Let's take a photo."

Broly did not refuse.

"You students who ran from one end of the street to the other and go home together after school—I'll quickly snap you."

Street Photographer named Green Light directed, and as Xiao Yu pulled Broly over, he pressed the shutter frantically.

And he indeed was a street photographer; finding his shots not bad, he took one of the best from them, printed it out, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

After saying goodbye to the two children, the photographer turned into the alley beside them and met with the Black Hand Gang inside: "As you requested, I took photos of that child. You're not kidnappers, are you?"

"What? We're kidnapping Broly? What kind of international joke is this?"

"Actually, we're that child's uncles. His birthday is coming up, and we plan to prepare a special birthday gift for him."

"Fine then."

Eyeing the Black Hand Gang members with some doubt, but after receiving a generous payment from Afeng, the street photographer accepted this explanation.

Broly did not notice that he had crossed paths with the Black Hand Gang and others twice; not remembering their breath was one reason, and not spreading his Ki Sense too far was another.

He and Xiao Yu arrived at the park, and since there weren't many people in the park in the afternoon, they specifically found a secluded corner, then each summoned their ninja regiment and launched a battle between the two ninja regiments.

The fight was wonderful, because every ninja soldier had considerable body technique skill, and the way to record combat skill should be similar to Water Element Mimicry Record.

"Why are your ninjas stronger than mine with the same number?"

After playing for almost half an hour, Xiao Yu's ninja regiment lost, and she was somewhat confused.

"Because these ninjas can be amplified by our own Qi, and my Qi is stronger than yours, so my ninjas are stronger than yours."

"Fine then. Looks like I need to train my Qi more."

Xiao Yu felt not the slightest dejection over her controlled ninjas' defeat; on the contrary, she had found a direction to improve her ninja soldiers' strength, which made her even more motivated.

"Xiao Yu, the Cleaning Demon Potion is ready. Come quickly and wash off the Demon Mark on your leg."

Only when they returned to Broly's Antique Shop and saw the old man take out a potion intending to wash off the mark on his own leg did Xiao Yu react somewhat excessively: "No, old man, I don't want to wash it off."
