Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts
Chapter 48 Discussion by the Investigation Team
Jiang Yong felt a deep unease and quickly got up and ran.
He glanced back and saw the man in the yellow suit staring at him menacingly.
Jiang Yong ran even faster.
Fortunately, that person didn't pursue her.
Who is he?
How did you recognize the lucky star necklace?
Also, when did the lucky star necklace turn black?
Jiang Yong arrived at the front desk and said anxiously:
"Quick, exchange the chips."
After Jiang Yong finished speaking, he continued to look at the seat he had been sitting in.
The man in the yellow suit was gone.
Jiang Yong did not feel relieved at all; in fact, he felt even more uneasy.
He grabbed the money and ran quickly out of the casino, then picked up his phone to call his ex-wife:
"Honey, please don't hang up! Listen to me, I..."
Jiang Yong was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw something, and his eyes widened in terror.
The man in the yellow suit was standing at the entrance of the glittering KTV, smiling and waving at him.
Jiang Yong's heart skipped a beat.
Wasn't he just in the stadium a moment ago?
How did I end up here?
The wife's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Jiang Yong, nothing you say will work. I won't give up custody of the child..."
Jiang Yong abruptly hung up the phone and ran wildly in another direction.
Luckily, there was a taxi that had just stopped to pick up passengers.
Jiang Yong rushed into the taxi and urged:
"Master, hurry, Xianghai Garden residential area!"
Jiang Yong wanted to call his ex-wife again, but her phone was dead.
"Damn it! I've used up all my luck!"
Jiang Yong cursed.
......
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.
Jin Meiting sat at the tea table, carefully wiping the teacups with a towel.
She secretly looked around the shop.
Jiang Chaosheng had been reading at the counter all day.
Same as before.
Where are the crows?
It wouldn't actually go to the nearby neighborhood to steal women's skirts, stockings, or anything like that, would it?
Just then, the wind chimes rang.
Jin Meiting glanced at it and rolled her eyes.
I can't help but keep thinking about it; it just happened.
The crow flew to the counter and stared at Jiang Chaosheng in disbelief:
"You were absolutely right, Jiang Yongzhen really did encounter an Onmyoji."
Jiang Chaosheng looked up:
"It's not that I'm right, it's just that he's bound to encounter someone related to Onmyoji."
The evil crow paused for a moment:
"How so?"
Jiang Chaosheng's thin lips curved slightly into a smile as he chuckled softly:
"I used the Lucky Star necklace before giving it to him."
The crow suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. That necklace is really amazing."
"If you wear that necklace in the future, won't you be invincible?"
Jiang Chaosheng said:
Do you know what the consequences are of overdrawing your luck?
The crow shook its head blankly.
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"When one's luck runs out, death is inevitable."
From the moment the Lucky Star necklace turned black, Jiang Yong's fate was already sealed.
Now, anything that happens around him is an accomplice to his death.
Evil Crow recalled an incident from when he was monitoring Jiang Yong.
Jiang Yong's luck had clearly run out, yet he still managed to find an empty taxi that had just dropped off its passengers.
It turns out that the taxi wasn't there to save his life, but to send Jiang Yong to hell.
The crow seemed to remember something and quickly said:
"You've used that necklace too, so you..."
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the crow:
"Me too, my luck will turn bad, I just don't know in what specific situation it will happen."
Alright, Jiang Yong won't survive tonight. Go and bring back the Lucky Star necklace.
The crow flapped its wings and flew out of Antique Shop Zero.
Jiang Chaosheng turned his attention back to the book:
Send a text message to Li Mingyue.
Jin Meiting quickly stood up:
"What did you say?"
Jiang Chaosheng turned to a new page in the book:
"Xianghai Garden, Yang Yong, Yin-Yang Master."
The Bureau of Abnormal Affairs should be very interested in Onmyoji Seimei now.
Bai Litang went to the police station to report the crime. Welcome to a vast collection of novels for you to explore! He revealed the information about the Onmyoji Seimei from the Eastern Cherry Blossom Valley.
Therefore, Seimei is likely the prime suspect in the Green Horse Manor massacre.
Even if Seimei wasn't the culprit in the Green Horse Manor tragedy, the appearance of that supernatural being from Dongying in the South China Sea would inevitably alert the Anomaly Management Bureau.
......
South China Sea, Public Security Bureau, Special Office.
This office is a high-level confidential office within the South China Sea Security Bureau.
Normally, a sheriff cannot go to this floor without permission.
At this moment, a discussion is taking place in the special office regarding the Green Horse Estate incident.
Liu Wei, the head of the investigation team for the gavel incident, said:
"The on-site inspection report has been issued."
The victims came from various parts of the south and worked as fortune tellers.
This aligns with the intelligence the police department provided us this morning.
The Public Security Bureau said that Bai Litang has invited metaphysicians from all over the south to gather at Baima Manor in the past few days.
Unexpectedly, such a horrific crime occurred the day after the gathering.
Liu Wei said in a deep voice:
"None of the deceased had engaged in any fierce fighting before their deaths; in fact, they were all sitting in their seats when they died."
The killer's methods were bizarre, and the possibility of a supernatural perpetrator cannot be ruled out.
Although we don't know why the other party wanted to kill, committing a crime in Xia Kingdom means being punished by law!
Since it was a task assigned by the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, the Public Security Bureau's investigation was swift.
The police now have many methods for handling cases, unlike what is shown in TV dramas.
The methods used in TV dramas are from over a decade ago.
Even if the body is burned to a crisp, there are still people who can identify the person and their last actions.
These days, as long as it's not a crime committed by gods or demons, the police can find out.
Someone said:
"So it really was done by that Onmyoji named Seimei?"
Some people also asked:
"Does our bureau have any information about Seimei?"
The Anomaly Management Bureau has handled many anomaly incidents.
Most of the cases involved taboo items.
For example, the resurrection of a forbidden object before and after its dormancy caused supernatural phenomena.
It's like strange energy fluctuations causing some plants, insects, and beasts to mutate and go berserk.
As for the awakening of forbidden things...
The awakening of forbidden things will inevitably cause enormous disasters.
When the Bureau of Abnormalities confronts forbidden objects, there are only two possible outcomes.
First, seal it in the archives of the Bureau of Anomalies.
Second, we must defend our lines at all costs to prevent them from continuing to wreak havoc on the Xia Kingdom.
After a period of revival, forbidden things will fall back into slumber.
However, once the forbidden object has fallen into a deep sleep, it is very difficult to find it again. The only thing that can be done is to record the process of the forbidden object going mad and leave the experience to those who come after.
Since its establishment, the Bureau of Anomalies has encountered several cases involving supernatural beings.
They are all influenced by forbidden things and lack self-awareness.
The Onmyoji from Dongying was clearly still rational, which was quite novel to the investigators present.
Liu Wei said:
"When the Bureau of Abnormalities was first established, it did indeed collect information about Onmyoji."
At that time, an unusual incident occurred in Higashi-Sakura, and investigators were ordered to gather intelligence.
According to investigators at the time, the core of the anomaly was a staff.
An old man fought the staff for ten days and finally subdued it.
The investigators immediately launched an investigation into the elderly man and eventually reached a conclusion.
Liu Wei paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said solemnly:
"That old man is the current Onmyoji of the Higashi-Sakura Seimei family."
Everyone gasped in shock.
This Onmyoji actually single-handedly resolved a forbidden object?
He's already incredibly powerful; now that he has a forbidden artifact—a staff—who in the world can be his match?
Should we deploy [Truth]?
Stop kidding me, do you think you can just take that thing out and use it casually?
Furthermore...
After dealing with forbidden things, can "truth" really destroy forbidden things?
An investigator rubbed his temples:
"How come Dongying has such a thing? Why doesn't our Xia Kingdom have one?"
A female investigator rolled her eyes at him:
"Who said the Xia Kingdom didn't have it?"
Suddenly, everyone remembered the three mysterious people from the Ghost Office incident.
If the three of them were here, dealing with the Onmyoji would be a piece of cake, right?
The problem is that no one knows anything about those three people to this day.
