Chapter 43: The Pawnshop Visitor (Please Read)

Seeing this, Shen Bai put down the cup in his hand and rotated the cup slightly.

These wounds carried a strange aura, and Shen Bai, who had dealt with strange things many times, could tell it at a glance.

"I see. This person should be going to deal with the weirdness."

Shen Bai thought to himself.

At this time, Zhou Qing was already leading the constables and was about to leave where Shen Bai was.

Because the matter was urgent, Zhou Qing was busy carrying the person and did not notice that Shen Bai was eating in the shop.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "Old Zhou."

Zhou Qing, who was directing the constables to hurry on their way, heard the voice and subconsciously turned his head, and saw Shen Bai waving at him.

Zhou Qing said to the other detectives, "Carry the man back to the county government office first. I'll go talk to my brother."

In the entire county government, apart from Captain Zheng, Zhou Qing was the most senior constable, and the other constables also left obediently.

Zhou Qing stepped forward and said, "Old Shen, hurry up and finish your meal and go back. Don't stay on the streets at night."

Shen Bai pointed at the group of constables and asked, "What happened?"

Zhou Qing said helplessly, "A fox girl appeared. This man is a ghost hunter who specifically accepted the mission of the Heavenly Supervisor. He almost lost his life. He fled to the city gate alone and was rescued by a patrol constable."

Fox girl?

Shen Bai touched his chin and asked, "What is that?"

Shen Bai knew about the ghost hunter. To put it simply, he was no different from a bounty hunter.

The Great Zhou Kingdom was too large, and it was difficult for just one Heavenly Supervisor to govern it all.

Ghost hunters came into being.

Accept tasks, complete tasks, and receive rewards from the Tianshisi.

Simple and direct, without too much interest involved, ghost hunters go purely for the reward.

But this was the first time Shen Bai heard the word "fox girl".

Zhou Qing looked around and saw that the people around him were avoiding him, so he moved closer to Shen Bai.

"The fox girl is weird. You might not understand what I mean by weird..."

"Let me put it this way, have you ever heard the story of the fox girl repaying a favor?"

Shen Bai thought for a moment and nodded, "I've heard about the fox girl repaying a favor. Besides, I know what weirdness is. I run a pawnshop and have collected a lot of interesting news."

The so-called fox girl repays a favor means that after a fox girl encounters a disaster and is rescued by someone, she will often bring various things to the person who repays the favor.

This story is widely circulated among the people, and some people even adapted it into a love story about a fox girl who turned into a woman and stayed with her benefactor for the rest of her life.

Zhou Qing was slightly surprised: "Old Shen, you also know about weirdness?"

Shen Bai nodded: "After all, a pawnshop is a place with many people and complicated affairs."

The two were good brothers, so Zhou Qing didn't doubt it and began to explain.

"After an animal dies, it will be affected by resentment and become strange. The fox girl is one of them."

"They both hate strangers, but their methods of killing are different."

"The fox girl will bring back a lot of things from outside, both good and bad."

"If you don't accept it, the fox girl will go on a rampage and kill people. If you accept it, your entire body's energy and spirit will be damaged by the things you bring back."

"The better the item, the greater the damage. Over time, it will still lead to death."

Having said this, Zhou Qing paused for a moment.

Shen Bai showed a look of realization.

To be honest, this was the first time he heard such a bizarre story, and it felt quite strange.

"So what are you going to do?" Shen Bai asked.

Zhou Qing said, "The Tianjiansi inspection is imminent, and now there's this incident of a fox girl repaying a favor. The government office must deal with this seriously, otherwise the county magistrate will be blamed."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "That's indeed the case."

Zhou Qing glanced in the direction of the county government office and said, "Old Shen, I'm done. I have to go back quickly."

Something strange happened, so of course Zhou Qing had to go back and deal with it first.

Shen Bai did not stop him, after all, he was doing serious business.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, there is important news to tell me."

Zhou Qing asked doubtfully, "Old Shen, what do you want this information for?"

Shen Bai spread his hands and said, "The world is unstable, so it's always good to get more information. I have to save my life." Zhou Qing patted Shen Bai's shoulder and said, "Old Shen, don't worry. As long as I, Zhou Qing, am in Shengyun County, nothing will happen to you unless I die before you."

Shen Bai: “…”

He really wanted to say that at this moment Zhou Qing was like a general on the stage, with flags all over his body.

As for the news, it is weird.

If there was a chance to get a wisp of evil spirit, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Shen Bai.

Zhou Qing was very busy and didn't have time to talk much, so he turned around and left.

After Shen Bai finished his meal, he had nothing else to do, so he turned and walked towards the pawnshop.

……

night.

Shen Bai stood in the yard, practicing the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

The proficiency level is steadily increasing, and it is getting closer and closer to level four.

While working hard, Shen Bai was also thinking about what happened during the day.

"Even though we don't need evil spirits now, it doesn't mean we don't need them in the future."

"Wait for news from Lao Zhou. If there's a chance, I'll start right away."

Shen Bai made up his mind and continued to work hard.

The proficiency of the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist is constantly increasing.

Shen Bai was immersed in a state of frenzy when suddenly the Qi in his body moved and he felt something unusual.

There was a slight noise from the door outside.

If it weren't for the quiet night, even Shen Bai wouldn't be able to hear it.

"The sound is too soft, it doesn't seem like something an ordinary person can make."

Shen Bai frowned, drew the long sword from his waist, and quietly moved towards the front room of the pawnshop.

……

The room was dark and there was no light.

A figure was searching in the house.

What was surprising was that even though the figure was searching, no sound was made, as if silent mode was on.

The various boxes in the pawnshop were turned upside down, and the pawned items were thrown everywhere.

"That shouldn't be the case. This guy had a conversation with the constable this morning, so he should have some basic knowledge."

"Why are all these things so commonplace? Am I blind?"

The voice was clear and clear, and it was a woman.

Shen Bai hid in the dark and took in the entire scene.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bai raised his foot and took a step forward.

As soon as her foot landed, the woman turned around suddenly.

"who!"

In the darkness, Shen Bai saw a flash of white coming towards him.

"lime powder?"

"So despicable?"

Shen Bai swung the long sword casually, as if he was swatting a mosquito.

The lime powder was completely dispersed.

In the darkness, the woman sprinkled lime powder and prepared to escape.

Seeing this, Shen Bai smiled slightly.

A blood-red sword light shot out from the long sword, and the sword energy, carrying a brilliant righteousness, pierced into the opposite wall, less than three inches away from the fleeing woman.

"call……"

A gust of wind blew and the oil lamp lit up.

Shen Bai looked at the woman in front of him, his tone calm as water, holding a lantern in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and slowly approached.

"If you run again, the next sword strike will be your neck."
