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

Abnormalities Management Bureau, Director's Office.

Director Zhao Pengcheng sat in his office chair.

There was a knock on the door.

A man wearing a white business shirt and suit trousers walked in.

He had short hair, wore glasses, and looked scholarly.

He doesn't seem like an investigator; he looks more like a university professor.

When Zhao Pengcheng saw the man, a smile spread across his face:

"Koma, come and sit down. There's something I want to discuss with you."

Bai Juzhi sat in the chair opposite Zhao Pengcheng, his back ramrod straight, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Chief, please speak."

Zhao Pengcheng took off his reading glasses:

"There are four top-level team leaders in the bureau, and you are the most capable of being put to great use."

Unlike the others, who are all about factionalism and blindly obey Cao Ye, almost forgetting that I am the bureau chief.

The white horse nodded:

"I was promoted by you, so naturally I will follow your lead."

Zhao Pengcheng sighed:

"To be honest, I feel really bad for you. I haven't been able to keep the promise I made to you."

Bai Ju's eyes twitched slightly.

"What can I do for you?"

Zhao Pengcheng said:

"I need you to go to the South China Sea and set up an anomaly investigation station."

The main task is to find the Forbidden Twilight, you know what I mean.

The white horse's pupils trembled.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment:

The probability of finding the Forbidden Twilight is 10%.

The probability of [Forbidden Twilight] being willing to join the abnormal management station is one percent.

The probability of defeating [Forbidden Twilight] is one in a thousand.

Regardless of the scenario, my probability of death is over 99%.

"Director Zhao, this mission is extremely difficult; it's practically suicide."

Zhao Pengcheng gave a meaningful smile:

"If you complete the mission, I can grant you permission to use the Mother-Child Black Coffin once."

I told you before, as long as you do my job well, I'll make sure you get what you want.

Bai Juzhi's body trembled, and his hand, which was resting on his knee, suddenly gripped the fabric:

"Seriously?"

Zhao Pengcheng nodded very seriously:

"I keep my word."

Bai Juzhi's eyes darted around, and he muttered to himself, as if he were... solving a math problem.

After a long silence, he adjusted his glasses:

"Then I need the support of the bureau."

Zhao Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief:

"Tell me, I'll support you as much as I can."

The Way of the White Horse:

"First, I need people, but they can't be Cao Ye's people."

You know my style; his people are prone to causing trouble.

Zhao Pengcheng said:

"No problem, there are quite a few investigators in the bureau who listen to me."

The Way of the White Horse:

"Secondly, I want the highest authority regarding the South China Sea."

Zhao Pengcheng said:

"【Forbidden Twilight】is a major event, and it is reasonable and justifiable to facilitate the investigation."

The Way of the White Horse:

"I need a drum made of human skin, and a wooden ox and a flowing horse."

A look of struggle appeared in Zhao Pengcheng's eyes.

But the thought that [Forbidden Twilight] possessed even more forbidden items made him grit his teeth.

"Can."

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

Bai Juzhi added:

"If necessary, I'll ask that old cat for help."

Zhao Pengcheng shook his head:

"That won't do, it's our bureau's trump card."

Disappointment was evident in Bai Ju's eyes:

"Alright then, I'll set off right away."

Zhao Pengcheng said:

"Alright, you go to the South China Sea first. The human skin drum and the wooden ox and flowing horse will arrive in the South China Sea in three days."

Bai Juzhi hurriedly said:

"No, we can't send it now!"

I will let you know when I need to.

Zhao Pengcheng asked in confusion:

"Give it to you when you need it? That's too much trouble!"

The Way of the White Horse:

"There is an 85% chance that the enemy has the ability to sense the location of forbidden objects."

I'm afraid he'll steal the goods as soon as they arrive in the South China Sea.

Zhao Pengcheng's old eyes widened:

"Is that so? Why didn't you mention it at the meeting?"

The frown of a white horse:

"You didn't ask."

Zhao Pengcheng hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked in the tone of a primary school student asking a math problem:

What are your chances of success?

The Way of the White Horse:

Two percent.

Zhao Pengcheng looked disappointed:

"So low?"

Bai Juzhi's lips were tightly pressed together as he slowly opened his mouth:

"That's not low."

Nighttime, South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.

Jiang Chaosheng sat at the counter, gazing at the night outside.

The rain has stopped.

I wish it would rain every day.

Today marks the first time in two months that Jiang Chaosheng has stepped out of the Zero Antique Shop during the day.

It felt great to bask in the sunshine, even though it was a bit rainy.

Jiang Chaosheng picked up his notebook and began to write:

"If I recover or contain six more forbidden items, I will be able to completely break the curse."

However, there are no more forbidden items near the South China Sea that I can recycle or contain.

Jiang Chaosheng paused, his gaze deep and thoughtful:

"Fortunately, the cleaner system will be completed soon."

Once the Cleaner System is successfully established, the Forbidden Society will have taken shape.

The Forbidden Society can immediately retrieve the forbidden items for me.

Jiang Chaosheng can sense the locations of forbidden objects throughout the Xia Kingdom.

Once the Forbidden Society takes shape, that will be the time for him to reclaim the forbidden items.

If we take stock of Li Qinglian's mess, there are ten forbidden items in various parts of Xia Kingdom that have not been recovered.

Of these ten forbidden items, the Forbidden Society can reclaim six, thus breaking the curse.

Judging by the time, Yang Xiao should have almost finished assembling the team of cleaners.

Jiang Chaosheng continued writing in his diary:

"I have twice contained forbidden objects in the South China Sea, and I'm afraid the authorities have already taken notice of me."

Previously it was the gavel investigation team; this time, some tough characters will likely be involved.

Jiang Chaosheng put down his notebook, looked at the candlelight on the ceiling, and muttered to himself:

"I don't like killing, but I'm not against it either."

At this moment, Jiang Chaosheng felt an unusual energy fluctuation around him.

Jiang Chaosheng reached out and saw Yang Xiao's shadowy figure jump off his wrist.

The little shadowy figure stretched and bowed, like a puppeteer.

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

What's going on?

The little black figure jumped into Jiang Chaosheng's palm again, climbed up his arm, and all the way to his shoulder, where it whispered in his ear:

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

What I want to say is that the cleaners have already been selected.

Two days later, we hope that our esteemed master will descend upon Black Rose Manor.

I forgot to tell you, sir, that I've been in contact with Xia Li recently.

She provided a luxurious estate for any Taboo Society activities.

Dear Yang Xiao, and all the lovely street cleaners, we look forward to your arrival.

A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Chaosheng's eyes.

Yang Xiao has actually managed to manipulate shadows to this extent?

His physical shadow is in the Zero Antique Shop, and theoretically, it would be difficult for him to control his physical shadow.

But he was able to manipulate the shadow to talk to himself?

It must be said that Yang Xiao is very talented in using supernatural powers.

"If he opens his spiritual aperture, will he become even stronger?"

Jiang Chaosheng muttered to himself.

Unfortunately, mortals cannot open their spiritual apertures on their own.

The nine-tailed fox can help Yang Xiao open his spiritual aperture.

However, after that madwoman turned into a nine-tailed demon core, she remained very quiet, and it's unknown when she will awaken.

Jiang Chaosheng also wanted to open a spiritual aperture and experience the joy of using magic.

If one's understanding of extraordinary power deepens, perhaps one can unlock even more of the power of powerful forbidden objects like the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

Jiang Chaosheng walked out of the counter and headed up to the second floor.

I haven't written in my diary yet today.

As Jiang Chaosheng passed by the back hall entrance, he saw Xie Ya sleeping soundly, clutching several pairs of underwear that smelled of laundry detergent, and muttering in his sleep like he was having a spring dream.

"ill."

Jiang Chaosheng cursed, went upstairs, and entered his study.

He opened his diary, remained silent for a while, and didn't know what to write.

Finally, he wrote:

"Is that crow crazy?!"

It's hard to imagine that it would willingly be enslaved for a hundred years for the sake of its lover.
