Ficool

Chapter 2 - The Discovery Of A Threat

" So, what are you guys doing here? " I asked. They both looked at each other, contemplating on whether or not they should tell me. " Just tell me. " I was getting quite annoyed again. Not like they have a choice. If they refuse I'll still find out because I'm gonna be following them. Wei Wuxian nudged Lan Wanji on the shoulder. " Come on, we have to tell her! " He whispered in Lan Wanji's ear. I can definitely tell that he is bottom material. " We're on a mission to find a Demonic Left-Arm. It is a very dangerous fierce corpse that has been separated from the rest of its body. " Lan Wanji spoke up.

" Fierce corpse? The hell? "

" A fierce corpse is a human corpse that has been reanimated due to resentful energy. "

" Resentful energy from where? "

It fell silent.

" Damn, alright. Where does the resentful energy come from then? " I asked. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wanji both looked at each other again. " From their lives when they were alive. " Wei Wuxian said. I could tell he knew something about this, like, of course but it's kind of different. It's like he has seen it and knows but can't figure out why. " Damn, then let's go investigate and stop standing around! Please lead the way. " I said, annoyed. " We're currently trying to track down the arm. " Lan Wanji spoke. He was calm and collected but at the same time also sounds like he is in a hurry to find the arm. I noticed this. " Well since you want to find the damn arm now let's just hurry the fuck up! " I exclaimed, starting to walk around in circles as I said. They both nodded.

They both started walking to a clearing and I followed.

" Aren't you in a hurry? Just get this over and done with! "

" Alright! Alright! We're going! Come on, Lan Zhan! " Wei Wuxian yelled back to me as he started running in his direction.

Damn, that man had a permanent playful and teasing face.

Lan Wanji was annoyed with me, but stayed silent and followed Wei Wuxian as I followed.

We stopped at a suspicious looking area which was covered in black mist. " Hey! Over here! " Wei Wuxian said, running towards the area. The place was still a forest, but it just had black smoke surrounding everything to the point that some parts looked pitch black at the areas that were fully covered with black mist. " No shit, Sherlock. Anyway, is this some resentful energy and shit? " I said as everyone stopped running right outside the area with the black mist. I crossed my arms. They both ignored me and slowly started walking inside the area.

Lan Wanji used some 'magic' from what I see it as. He did some weird hand movements and formed some sort of shield surrounding us. I was quite relaxed even though he did some magic I've never even seen before. The shield had some weird patterns on it and I saw one big one right in the center above. It was like a logo. Some sort of clan maybe. The shield was light blue like his robes and that headband around his forehead. It prevented the black mist from reaching us, though.

We headed inside the place and it was extremely difficult to see as it was just really dark and the fact that there was also black mist. I was short-sighted in my right eye while my left was long-sighted. Weird, I know.

I heard rustling in the bushes and trees to my left. I looked to where the rustling was and saw a silhouette of an arm in the darkness…

I think this is it.
