Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

South China Sea, Xinghua Hutong.

"Why aren't you dead! Why aren't you dead yet! Are you alive to humiliate me?!"

"Hehehe, hahahahaha, ahahahahaha, it hurts, it hurts so much."

Seimei Misawa's angry voice and Yang Xiao's bizarre mocking laughter echoed endlessly in Xinghua Hutong.

Yang Xiao was resurrected once again from the state of being separated from his body, and countless shadowy ghost hands reached out to grab at Qingming Misawa.

Seimei Misawa was truly enraged.

In his eyes, Yang Xiao was a disgusting cockroach.

It's very weak, but no matter how you hit it, you can't kill it.

Seimei Misawa's eyes flashed white light as he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood transformed into blue flames in mid-air, and with a wave of the white feather fan, the blue flames burst into flames!

Blue flames scorched those ghostly hands.

The ghostly hands fell to the ground from mid-air, transforming into human shadows.

Flames burned on the human shadows as they struggled and let out silent screams.

Moments later, the shadows were completely annihilated by the blue flames.

"Cough, cough..."

Yang Xiao's face suddenly turned red, and he bent over, vomiting large amounts of blood.

He suffered a backlash.

Seimei Misawa snorted coldly, his figure as elusive as a fox spirit, and he swiftly drifted towards Yang Xiao.

With his left hand gripping the white feather fan, and his right hand transforming into a sharp claw, he viciously stabbed towards Yang Xiao's heart.

Yang Xiao slammed his fist on the ground, and a wall of ghostly shadows rose up, attempting to block Qingming Sanzawa's attack.

Seimei Misawa laughed mockingly.

Its claws pierced the Ghost Shadow Wall as easily as a knife piercing tofu, breaking through the wall's defenses with icy eyes as it stared at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister, cunning smile through his large mouth.

Seimei Misawa immediately sensed something was wrong.

Suddenly, Seimei Misawa was unable to move, his body frozen in mid-air.

"Hehehe..."

Yang Xiao playfully pointed with her pinky finger at the area below Seimei Misawa's body as he floated in mid-air:

"I've got you."

Seimei Misawa lowered his head in disbelief.

Two ghostly figures clung tightly to their own shadows!

Yang Xiao pulled a butcher knife from his crotch and stabbed it toward Qingming Misawa's throat.

There was no hesitation or fuss; it was as straightforward as cutting fruit.

Fear instantly filled Seimei Misawa's eyes.

Oh no, I was careless!

Just as Yang Xiao's butcher knife was about to pierce Qingming Misawa's throat, a sudden change occurred!

"Eek!"

A scream, similar to that of a child, suddenly erupted.

Yang Xiao was thrown back by the shockwave. In mid-air, he looked at the shadow of Seimei Misawa with a puzzled expression.

Why is this happening?

Why did a nine-tailed fox appear?

The shadow of the nine-tailed fox was tearing at its own two ghostly figures.

Seimei Misawa, now free from his restraints, had a look of lingering fear on his face. He stared at Yang Xiao, his killing intent surging.

He bit his middle finger, drew a talisman on the white feather fan, and then waved the fan wildly.

The fierce blue demonic fire, mixed with a gale, instantly engulfed Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao's body was instantly torn to pieces.

The body parts were burning with blue flames, making the corpse irreparable.

Seimei Misawa patted his chest in lingering fear:

"I really owe a debt of gratitude to Lady Nine-Tailed Fox for helping me out."

Seimei Misawa didn't want to get entangled with Yang Xiao, this madman, and was about to leave when a gunshot rang out.

Two bullets grazed Seimei Misawa's cheeks.

Seimei Misawa touched the blood on his face in astonishment, his eyes instantly filled with intense resentment as he stared intently at the woman who had appeared in the alley:

"Damn woman, you dare to hurt me!"

Li Mingyue squinted, remained silent, and continued firing bullets at Qingming Misawa.

Seimei Misawa flew into a rage and raised his white feather fan.

Suddenly, several blinding lights shone on his face.

"Anomaly Management Bureau!"

"Seimei Misawa, you have committed numerous evils and violated public order regulations in Xia Kingdom!"

"Lie down! Don't move!"

Seimei Misawa shielded his eyes from the light, his face filled with resentment and violence.

"Damn it, you bunch of ants dare to get involved!"

Seimei Misawa let out a cry and waved his white feather fan.

The air temperature suddenly dropped, and countless ice blades shot towards the investigators.

Liu Wei, carrying the container covered by a yellow cloth, rushed to the front, roaring as he lifted the cloth:

"How dare they act so arrogantly in front of the Xia Kingdom's officials! They're courting death!"

Under the yellow cloth was a glass container filled with water, in which five copper coins with green rust were submerged.

Liu Wei held the Five Emperors' Poison Coins in his hand.

The virus came from all directions, transforming into a powerful supernatural force that manifested in Liu Wei.

Liu Wei clenched his fists and slammed them down on the countless ice blades.

The purple poisonous mist transformed into a venomous dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Seimei Misawa.

The ice blades were rapidly corroded within the poison dragon's body, but the dragon's power remained undiminished as it continued its charge towards Seimei Misawa.

The investigators couldn't help but applaud.

With this move, Seimei Misawa would be brought to justice, right?

Seimei Misawa's eye twitched:

"Who do you look down on?!"

With one hand forming a hand seal, a blue flame shield rose from the ground, resisting the corrosive power of the poison dragon.

Liu Wei had anticipated that he wouldn't be able to instantly defeat Seimei Misawa, and shook his head, muttering to himself:

"This is really difficult."

Liu Wei turned around, looked at Li Mingyue, and gave her a bright smile:

"Mingyue, help me keep track of time."

Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment:

"What?"

Yang Shayan's voice rang in everyone's headphones:

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've forgotten about saving people now that you have new recruits. Wasn't that my job before?"

Liu Wei said helplessly:

"Sister Yan, you don't want a promotion, so why are you trying to steal the credit?"

Seimei Misawa said angrily:

"How dare you ignore me!"

Seimei Misawa, clutching a white feather fan, charged toward Liu Wei.

Liu Wei snorted coldly, poisonous mist emanating from his body as he charged towards Qingming Misawa. This is the exclusive first release of the latest work by author Peach Tree Bell, "Zero Antique Shop: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts!"

Yang Shayan's voice continued to play in the earphone channel:

"The Five Emperors' Poison Coins are the most destructive forbidden items in the Archives Department of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs."

Those who use the Five Emperors Poison Coin will accumulate all sorts of toxins in their bodies; these toxins are real and tangible.

Calculations show that users can only use the Five Emperors Poison Coins for no more than six minutes and thirty-eight seconds.

Otherwise, the investigators' hospital would be unable to treat the user.

As long as it doesn't exceed six minutes and thirty-eight seconds, the Anomaly Management Bureau can revive the user.

However, the user will be permanently weakened and unable to continue working.

Liu Wei wanted to give you credit for cooperating with the use of forbidden substances before he retired.

Watch closely, this is Team Leader Liu's last mission.

There are four minutes and thirty seconds left, let's start the timer.

Li Mingyue quickly pressed the timer on her work watch, looking at Liu Wei, who was fighting against Seimei Misawa, with emotion.

......

The investigators watched the battlefield with bated breath.

They couldn't get involved in this battle, which was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The two moved swiftly on the battlefield. Even if bullets were used, they would not only fail to harm Seimei, but might also accidentally injure the team leader.

However, the investigators believe that Liu Wei can defeat Seimei.

Because, as the old cat from the Bureau of Abnormalities said, the Five Emperors' Poison Money was formed from the grievances of the people during the reign of the Qing Dynasty emperors.

In other words, this Five Emperors Poison Coin is equivalent to the power of more than half a dynasty.

"Three minutes and fifty seconds..."

Liu Wei fought more and more fiercely, and Seimei Misawa gradually became disheveled.

"Two minutes and twenty-eight seconds..."

Liu Wei's face was sickly pale, and Seimei Misawa's white bathrobe was stained with indelible black ink.

"One minute and ten seconds..."

Liu Wei's movements were clearly somewhat chaotic due to his haste, and Seimei Misawa's angry roar resounded throughout.

"Thirty-five seconds..."

As Li Mingyue's countdown continued, the investigators' expressions grew increasingly grave.

"Ants, ants, ants!"

Seimei Misawa howled, his eyes blazing with a captivating white light, with nine white fox tails looming behind him.

Li Mingyue stared wide-eyed:

"Team Leader Liu! It's almost time! Eight, seven, six..."

Liu Wei looked at Qingming Sanze, who had fallen into a berserk state, clenched the Five Emperors Poison Coins in his hand, and pursed his lips tightly:

"Is it almost time? How come it's so fast?"

An investigator stepped forward and unfastened his equipment:

"Alright boss, have you had enough fun? It's my turn."

The investigator turned to look at Li Mingyue, grinning憨厚ly and revealing his large teeth:

"Alright, young lady, it's time for you to start timing me."

Li Mingyue understood.

The Five Emperors Poison Money was not used by Liu Wei alone, but by the investigators in turns.

Including myself, there were five investigators present, who could use the Five Emperors Poison Coins for about forty minutes.

Li Mingyue quickly said:

"Team leader, give it to me, let me do it, you time me!"

She's a newbie, a novice, and if anyone has to make a sacrifice, she's the best choice.

Liu Wei glanced at Li Mingyue and the investigator, and sneered:

"What, you all want to retire?"

The investigators present all changed their expressions.

What does that mean?

Liu Wei gripped the Five Emperors' Poison Coin tightly and cursed:

"Remember to clock in for work as usual tomorrow!"

He will die tonight.

Tonight, I must drag Seimei and Misawa to their deaths.

The investigators are all elites of the Xia Kingdom; no second one can retire.

Everyone stared at Liu Wei in astonishment:

"Team leader, you..."

Liu Wei tapped the headphones:

"Sister Yan, this is the first time in history that someone from the Anomaly Management Bureau has used the Five Emperors Poison Coin to fight against anomaly creatures for so long."

You need to keep a good record of my vital signs; this information will be needed in the archives later.

A sigh came from Yang Shayan on the other end of the earpiece:

"Take care, brother."

Liu Wei took off his headphones, tossed them to the ground, and glanced at the investigators:

"Make my MVP results screen look cool in the photos."

After speaking, Liu Wei unleashed a burst of black poisonous mist, rushing towards Seimei Misawa.

Seimei Misawa's aura surged, and blue foxfire flickered continuously.

The investigators watched calmly as Liu Wei fought against Seimei Misawa.

There was neither the previous cheers nor the present lamentations.

Only silence.

Once the team leader dies, another person will take up the Five Emperors' Poison Coin and strive for glory.

No matter what, Seimei Misawa could not leave this place alive.

. . . . . .

In the South China Sea, it's not too late yet, and the lights of thousands of homes paint a picture of peace and prosperity.

A young couple strolled along the street under an umbrella.

The boy secretly grabbed the girl's hand, and the girl shyly lowered her head and smiled.

The young men, who had just come out of the internet cafe, were laughing and joking in the rain, cursing their teammates for messing up another game.

Neither of them noticed what was happening on Xiangyuan Street not far away.

Traffic control measures have been implemented there.

Tomorrow's news will report that criminals infiltrated the area and that the sheriffs successfully apprehended the perpetrators.

No one will know that a man named Liu Wei died there tonight.

The vintage car splashed water as it sped towards Xinghua Hutong, attracting no attention from anyone.

........

P.S.: I felt like this part of the story took a long time, so I'll speed it up and finish it quickly. We'll move on to the next part tomorrow.

I was very worried when I was writing the Abnormal Management Bureau.

One reason is the fear that too much screen time for the Bureau of Abnormalities might displease the audience.

One issue is that this part of the storyline has indeed dragged on for too long, and it feels tedious.

However, the Bureau of Anomalies is the official supernatural department of Xia Kingdom, and they don't want to treat them like tools.

I've been reading less lately, probably because this part of the plot has dragged on for too long.

Therefore, an extra chapter of 3,000 words will be added to quickly move on to the next part of the story.
