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

The train over the sea.

"It's over, you can go home now!"

"Great, great, that monster is finally dead."

"Go home! I want to go home!"

Everyone was caught up in the excitement of the sea coachman being killed.

"When I get back, I'm going to write this story into a novel; it's sure to be a bestseller!"

"I'll just go live and talk about the mysterious umbrella-holder; I guarantee I'll gain a lot of followers!"

"Keep your voice down! We haven't even escaped yet, and you're already trying to take advantage of that horrible guy?"

Some people are like that; they remember the good times but not the bad.

For example, even though Zhongshu risked his life to save them, they chose to stand by and do nothing when Zhongshu faced difficulties.

They believe that this is the way of a smart person, and that assessing the situation is what makes a hero.

If I leave this place, I might become a great blogger or writer because of this experience; it's a blessing in disguise.

Baitasha did not participate in these people's discussion.

She sat in her seat, gazing out the window, a smile on her face.

Having lost her parents at a young age, the world held no appeal for her.

Sometimes she thought it would be better to just die, since there was nothing in this world worth staying for anyway.

However, as she watched her fellow passengers die one by one at the hands of the train conductor, and as the darkness of death approached step by step, she became afraid.

It turns out that dying really does require immense courage.

By sheer luck, she encountered a ray of true light on this train heading towards the darkest of hells.

Baitasha thought sweetly:

"I'll add him on WeChat once I get a signal."

The lovestruck young girl was unaware that a pair of complex eyes were being cast at her from the compartment of the train car.

Zhongshu clenched his fist:

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Xinyuan replied:

How would I know?

The moment I saw her, I knew she was dead.

It's strange; even though he's dead, he acts just like a normal person.

She must have forgotten that she was dead.

Zhongshu lowered his head:

"How can we save her?"

Li Xinyuan spread his hands:

"Only that person can come up with a solution."

You know who I'm talking about.

Zhongshu remained silent for a long time:

"Okay, I'll go and beg him right now."

Li Xinyuan scoffed:

"You think that guy's a turtle in a wishing well..."

Li Xinyuan realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly spat out a "pui":

"You think that person is a fairy in a wishing well?"

That person has been fighting all day, so they might not be in a good mood.

Be careful, he might throw you into the sea.

I'm making this clear beforehand: I can't beat him, and I won't lay a hand on him for your sake.

Zhongshu frowned:

"He's a great benefactor who saved everyone's lives. When did I ever think of letting you lay a hand on him?"

Li Xinyuan curled his lip:

"What if you become blinded by lust?"

At that moment, a train conductor passed by the compartment:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the train is about to depart!"

Everyone stared at the train conductor in astonishment.

Is this train to death going to continue its journey to hell?

Their hearts were in their throats, as if an invisible hand had lifted them up.

The train conductor said:

"The next stop is our final stop, Nanhai Station!"

A cheer immediately erupted in the train.

"It's too late."

Zhongshu ignored everything and started running towards the locomotive.

"Brother Zhongshu."

A voice called out to him.

Zhongshu turned around and saw Baitasha looking at him:

"I'm so tired, can you sit with me for a while?"

Zhongshu noticed that Baitasha's face was starting to turn pale.

His heart was suddenly gripped.

Li Xinyuan patted him on the shoulder:

"Time is running out, don't waste it on things that are impossible."

Zhongshu pursed his lips and sat down next to Baitasha.

Baitasha naturally rested her head on Zhongshu's shoulder.

The warm, pleasant fragrance and soft touch made Zhongshu tremble.

......

"Waaaaah..."

The sea train has departed.

Jiang Chaosheng gripped the rudder and, following the compass's directions, steered the sea train toward the South China Sea Station.

He glanced at Daji:

"What's wrong with you?"

The glow on Daji's body grew dimmer and dimmer.

The last time this happened was when she opened the spiritual aperture of that little boy.

Faced with this rare show of concern, Daji smiled gently:

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired today."

Jiang Chaosheng looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was sitting casually on the floor, leaning against the door.

Perceiving something with eyes closed.

Jiang Chaosheng roughly knew what had happened.

Did this kid awaken his spiritual awareness before me?

However, Jiang Chaosheng was in no hurry to open his spiritual aperture.

Daji once said that it is best to open one's spiritual aperture after mastering the Spirit Gathering Technique.

This is essentially laying the foundation.

Accumulate knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential.

Yang Xiao felt Jiang Chaosheng's gaze and quickly stood up:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Chaosheng continued to operate the rudder:

"fine."

Yang Xiao thought for a moment, then glanced at the door behind him.

Behind the door were the train conductor and the cleaner, and behind that was a group of unfortunate passengers.

A cold glint flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes:

"Do you need it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chaosheng interrupted him:

"Need not."

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment:

"But......"

Jiang Chaosheng looked ahead, his tone calm:

"I don't want to kill anyone today."

He wasn't afraid of people who had seen his face before.

The ring on Jiang Chaosheng's left middle finger is called "The Forgotten One".

Number 3-52, the Forgotten.

This ring came from a nobody struggling on the fringes of society, a husband who had suffered a great failure in his marriage.

It has no offensive capabilities; its only ability is "forgetting".

No one can remember what he looks like.

Gradually, you'll even forget your gender.

In time, no one will remember him anymore.

As for whether they will expose the sea train incident?

This is something the anomaly investigation team should be concerned with; it has nothing to do with him.

Perfect timing! We can also take advantage of the passengers on this train to see the case-handling style of the newly arrived Dusk Investigation Team in the South China Sea.

Yang Xiao looked around aimlessly

Like a little child searching for answers.

He followed Jiang Chaosheng's gaze to the sea.

The sun was setting, very close to the sea level, casting a golden glow over the entire ocean.

He glanced at Jiang Chaosheng and Daji again.

The golden, reddish sunlight shone into the car, like a honeyed balm, making Daji's eyes feel sweet.

Yang Xiao scratched his head and chuckled:

"Today is definitely not a good day to kill anyone."

He slowly backed away, continuing to lean against the door like a shadow.

......

Evening, South China Sea, Public Security Bureau, conference room.

Director Sun Desheng was already at the age where he should have retired.

Several consecutive nights of staying up late made him look even more haggard.

At Liancheng Railway Station, passengers disappeared after boarding the train.

And what about the train?

It doesn't exist at all!

This is an unusual event.

He shouldn't have needed to worry about this, but there was some news yesterday.

That old steam train actually appeared at Dongpu Station in the South China Sea.

Once we get to the South China Sea, this matter should be under his jurisdiction.

Sun Desheng glanced at the assembled high-ranking officials from the Public Security Bureau, finally fixing his gaze on a bald young man:

"Comrade investigator, wouldn't you like to make a decision?"

The bald young man's name was Zhang Xiaoer.

This name sounds like it belongs to a nobody.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Because he is the head of the Twilight Investigation Team and Baiju's personal assistant.

Bai Ju is currently on a plane heading to the South China Sea, and Zhang Xiaoer is currently the supreme commander of the Twilight Investigation Team.

Zhang Xiaoer, looking rather unreliable, yawned:

"Don't ask me, I'm just here to oversee your 'purge mission'."

The "Clearance Task" refers to the "South China Sea Key Investment Plan" launched in the South China Sea some time ago.

The main task is to reinvest in and utilize abandoned amusement parks, shopping malls, and unfinished buildings in the South China Sea.

Most importantly, it involves the construction of a street with a Republican-era style.

No one understood why Bai Juzhi cared so much about Anxiang Street and why he had to spend a lot of money to build it in a short period of time.

Zhang Xiaoer didn't know either.

Anyway, I'll just do whatever the boss says.

Over the years, the eldest brother has never made a mistake.

Sun Desheng said with dissatisfaction:

"Bai Ju has already made such a big move before even arriving in the South China Sea. Do you know what the Public Security Bureau has paid behind the scenes?"

The Public Security Bureau has been very cooperative with the investigation team; can't the investigation team cooperate with the Public Security Bureau in return?

Zhang Xiaoer gave Sun Desheng a cold look:

I think you've misunderstood.

Whether it's the Public Security Bureau or the Urban Construction Bureau, you are not cooperating with the investigation team, but rather carrying out orders.

Didn't you receive any instructions from above?

After the Huanghun Investigation Team was established, Baiju Zhi, the team leader, became the highest-ranking administrative official in the South China Sea.

In other words, even if the leader of the White Horse Group asks you to get up in the middle of the night to buy him a cup of coffee, you have to obey orders.

Because the Twilight Investigation Team isn't just investigating cases, they're preparing for a war, understand?

Sun Desheng's face turned pale and then flushed.

After all these years, who would dare to speak to him like that?

However, the authority of the Dusk Investigation Team was indeed higher than he had imagined.

At that moment, Sun Desheng's and Zhang Xiaoer's phones rang simultaneously.

Sun Desheng answered the phone:

"What is it?"

Zhang Xiaoer checked the text message.

Sun Desheng's expression suddenly changed drastically:

"You said that train is about to arrive at Nanhai Station?"

Okay, okay, okay, I understand.

Notify the Railway Transportation Bureau to immediately prevent any trains from entering Nanhai Station, evacuate all passengers from Nanhai Station, and station staff must also recuse themselves!

Sun Desheng glanced at the various police officers and captains present and gave a stern order:

"Heading off to Nanhai Railway Station to pick up passengers and take them home!"

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Xiaoer suddenly spoke up.

Everyone in the police station frowned.

What kind of trouble is this unpleasant guy up to?

Zhang Xiaoer stood up and said:

"We just received orders from Team Leader Bai that the Public Security Bureau won't need to be involved in this operation. Our Dusk Investigation Team will handle the errands for you."
