The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

It's true that Zhou Zhanxie is quite famous in this area.

At first, it was an elderly couple who came by taxi.

The taxi had already driven a short distance when it suddenly braked and reversed back.

The elderly couple, overjoyed, got out of the back seat. After carefully checking, they excitedly clasped their hands together and repeatedly called him Master Zhou.

Zhou Zhanxie, who was supposed to be eccentric, also played the role of a mysterious master. Without Li Zhen exposing his true nature, he very aloofly provided the elderly couple with several talismans.

He then immediately asked for more than HKD 50,000.

After the elderly couple paid and left satisfied, Li Zhen rushed over as if she had seen a ghost.

"Wow, how can you be so greedy? You're selling a few sheets of yellow paper for such a high price?"

Zhou Zhanxie, revealing his true colors, counted the money. When he heard Li Zhen's question, he shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"The talismans I sell at my stall are genuine, not just the fancy ones sold online."

"Is this place really that haunted? I clearly see a wealthy area at the foot of the mountain."

Zhou Zhanxie clicked his tongue, stuffed the stack of money he had just received into his bag, then pulled out a few talismans and beckoned to Li Zhen. "You amateur! Who said talismans are only for dealing with ghosts… Come here!"

Zhou Zhanxie took out the talismans one by one and placed them on the table, explaining them incessantly.

"This is specifically for exorcising evil spirits. The evil spirits here refer not only to ghosts, but also to various external evils in traditional Chinese medicine. With this, for a period of time, evil winds and evil fires will not be able to get close to you."

"This is a special blessing that can maintain the health of all family members in the household, ensure smooth work, and help children study diligently for a period of time."

"This can give you vision in your dreams, so you can communicate with your deceased loved ones across the distance between life and death."

Li Zhen felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge.

"Wow, it has so many features."

Zhou Zhanxie put away the talisman with a smug look on his face.

Is it still expensive now?

Li Zhen pondered the function of the third type of talisman.

The first two are fine. Sometimes, some materialists think that the first two types of talismans mentioned by Zhou Zhanxie are too "idealistic", so they scoff at this kind of supernatural stuff.

But the third type of talisman paper has such an outrageous effect that, in the eyes of those who value it, it's probably worth a fortune. "That's true, it's not too expensive."

After that, Li Zhen stopped speaking easily and lay quietly on the bamboo chair. She asked Zhou Zhanxie for a pair of sunglasses made of origami, covered her eyes, and went to have a telepathic conversation with Rachel.

Cassandra spent the whole day taking Rachel to visit various places. At first, Li Zhen thought they would meet various assassin organizations disguised as "hidden masters" in ordinary cities.

The majority of the families turned out to be ordinary citizens, some of whom even wanted to introduce their sons to Cassandra for dating.

Of course, Rachel also gradually began to learn about Cassandra's past.

Well, how should I put it?

Cassandra's mother and father both had somewhat unconventional ways of thinking.

After recognizing their daughter's talent, they were determined to train her to become a world-class assassin.

This girl was never provided with the normal environment a child should have grown up in.

Furthermore, in order to push Cassandra to the extreme in terms of physical skills and neurological reflexes, the two used harsh training and suggestion, along with the assistance of drugs, to prevent Cassandra's language center system from developing normally.

While this gave Cassandra world-class combat judgment abilities, it also made her mental development weaker than that of ordinary people.

At the age of eight, he was sent on an assassination mission by his father, David Cain. After interpreting the target's fear before death, he suffered a mental breakdown and ran away, becoming a wanderer. For several years, he lived a life of hardship and wandering in Hong Kong.

Ms. Siva had been following Cassandra, watching her daughter being supported by several kind-hearted local Hong Kong citizens.

Just as Cassandra was about to experience happiness, Ms. Shiva appeared, threatening to reap the lives of all the ordinary people who had helped Cassandra.

Regarding language communication, Ms. Shiva stated that this action was to allow her daughter to return to that cold-blooded assassin state.

But she was defeated by Cassandra's emotional outburst.

Afterwards, Ms. Shiva 'unintentionally' left Cassandra a house and some money, allowing Cassandra to live there from then on.

However, Cassandra was firm at that time and refused.

Instead, she found the properties there disgusting. After making sure that the kind people who had helped her were safe and sound, she quietly set off to continue her wanderings, eventually arriving in the United States after several more years.

Cassandra didn't tell the story of how she was picked up by the Bat-Family and formed bonds with Oracle, Batman, and others, and Li Zhen didn't let Rachel find out any further.

In short, Batman must have done something to get Cassandra and Ms. Shiva to reach a slight reconciliation.

Otherwise, Cassandra wouldn't have come back to "visit relatives" and dragged Rachel to stay in that villa she should have hated.

By the time Cassandra had finished her rounds, and Rachel, whom she was with, was also well-fed, it was already getting late. Li Zhen took off her sunglasses and turned to look at Zhou Zhanxie, who was yawning and packing up his stall.

Although he has been making spiritual calls, his current immense mental strength makes it easy for him to multitask.

Even though she didn't say a word or turn around all day, Li Zhen knew clearly that Zhou Zhanxie's stall had received a total of fourteen groups of customers, most of whom were notified by the elderly couple who had made a successful debut.

So they were mostly elderly people, some were couples, but some came alone with a cane, or were pushed in a wheelchair by their grandchildren.

However, there is one more thing.

That means these old men and women are definitely not ordinary people.

Fourteen groups of customers, none of whom have ever been willing to compromise on prices since birth, and those customers paid one or two at a time very readily, so much so that Zhou Zhanxie's bag now contains more than three million Hong Kong dollars.

To be honest, Li Zhen didn't understand this part.

"You said you're capable of making money, so why were you so excited last night when you saw me transfer your late-night snack money?"

"And in a semi-abandoned place, so many rich people actually come here. Can the talismans you sell really attract them?"

This time, Zhou Zhanxie didn't immediately argue with Li Zhen. Instead, he beckoned with his finger, took away Li Zhen's sunglasses and recliner, and then slowly spoke.

"Guess why this cemetery was plagued by corpses back then?" Li Zhen frowned.

He wasn't really familiar with Eastern magic techniques.

Based on the few novels I read in my previous life, this is a slightly worded guess.

"Um, this just happens to be an extremely yin place, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon or something like that?"

Zhou Zhanxie took a breath.

"It's resentment."

"Wind disasters, plagues, and especially the last Japanese occupation... the corpses of those who died tragically during several periods are buried in this burial ground from the early days of the uprising, so you can imagine how immense the resentment was."

Li Zhen was a little stunned, and opened her mouth.

The history of this world seems so similar.

"Those who survived the man-made disaster, having money, naturally wouldn't hesitate to spend money to make up for the regret of losing loved ones at a young age... But there are still many, many lonely ghosts whose names have been lost in history, which is why I set such a high price."

Zhou Zhanxie patted his bulging satchel.

"I will donate 90% of this money, and the rest will be used to purchase various spellcasting materials. Then I will help those nameless wandering souls by burning some paper money, furniture, and daily necessities, or occasionally visit them in the underworld to tell them that there are still relatives on earth who are thinking of them." Li Zhen finally became solemn and respectful.

"Is this how you suppressed the zombie outbreak back then? I feel like you're about to radiate Buddha's light from your head."

"Hey, you know what?"

Zhou Zhanxie's solemn expression suddenly broke down, and he shook the prayer beads hanging on his left wrist.

Li Zhen had previously thought it was a collectible item or a simple ornament.

"This is also a method of spiritual practice. I studied a variety of things in my early years, and I also know some Buddhist methods."
