The Mysterious Card Maker: Starting with Zhang Jiao's Deification

Lin Fan quickly gave chase, but the dark figure used the shadows to escape.

"Damn it, he got away," Lin Fan said through gritted teeth.

Qin Muyao held up her phone, the camera following Lin Fan's gaze, only to capture the empty ground: "What's that?"

"Shadow Devourer!" His voice lowered as well. "An extremely rare and bizarre creature that doesn't attack the main body, but only devours shadows."

"Once it has completely consumed the shadow, it can control everything about the host like a puppet."

He paused, then continued.

"Although the Great Ghoul is incredibly strong, it's not very bright; it doesn't even realize its shadow has been swallowed."

Qin Muyao's pupils contracted. "You mean, that strange creature just now was controlled by that Shadow Devouring Ghost!"

"Yes, I was wondering how he could speak, but now I understand!"

The live chat is now scrolling wildly:

[The streamer's theoretical knowledge is amazing!]

[This isn't just about having a brain; anyone who's read "The Encyclopedia of the Strange" knows that!]

[The streamer is so stupid! He didn't use a blank card to subdue it; that's a Blue Domain level monster!]

【...】

"That's it for tonight!" Lin Fan said.

"That concludes tonight's live stream, everyone. Remember to subscribe for more bizarre confrontations! The Underworld Agent's story concludes tonight!"

Qin Muyao closed the live stream and glanced at her phone. The number of viewers online was 15.

#NetherworldAgent#

Second on the trending list: #GatesOfHell#

Third on the trending list: #Baboerben, Benboerba, a mysterious rhyme?#

She pushed the mask up, walked over, and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder. "How did you come up with the idea of ​​summoning the Underworld? That was so entertaining!"

"I'm not thinking about fighting the giant ghoul. If I break anything, we'll have to pay for it!"

"..." Qin Muyao was speechless for a moment, staring at Lin Fan for several seconds to make sure he wasn't joking, and then swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Let's go back first!" Lin Fan took off his mask, his expression somewhat solemn. He called to Qin Muyao and hurriedly went back.

Inside Qin Muyao's cozy little house.

"What's wrong? You're not happy even though you made money?" Qin Muyao noticed his unusual behavior.

"That 'person'," Lin Fan paused, then, fearing she hadn't understood, added, "the one who was eaten by the giant ghoul, did you see how she died?"

Qin Muyao recalled for a moment, then her expression changed slightly as if she remembered something: "Just like when Zhang Li died!"

Lin Fan nodded: "When the strange thing dies, it will turn into a card. If the card spirit is damaged, it will return to the cardholder, but the 'person' will simply vanish into thin air!"

"The madmen of the All Souls Society?" Qin Muyao lowered her voice. "Have those madmen set their sights on us?"

"They're not targeting us." Lin Fan shook his head. "It's me! You shouldn't be their target; you just happened to be with me, and they temporarily added you to their list."

"Why are they looking for you?" Qin Muyao asked, puzzled.

"That's what's puzzling me too!" Lin Fan said after thinking for a while.

"The only person I had any contact with was Zhang Li. Could it be that I killed Zhang Li and then they retaliated against me?"

"Then how did they know that Zhang Li was killed by you? Even if Zhang Li died, he died after joining the Qin Group. How could it have anything to do with you?"

Qin Muyao raised a question.

Hearing her words, Lin Fan's mind went blank for a moment: "Right! How did they find me?"

The night breeze blew into the room through the gauze window, and Lin Fan couldn't help but shiver.

"Unless..." Lin Fan glanced at Qin Muyao and said in a low voice, "Unless there are members of the Myriad Spirits Society in your Qin Group."

Qin Muyao clenched her hands tightly around the hem of her clothes. She didn't refute it. With so many people in the Qin Group, it wasn't impossible for a spy from the Wanling Society to be hiding among them.

"I'll have my second uncle investigate!" she gritted her teeth.

"Don't alert them." Lin Fan held her hand. "You've snuck out. If your second uncle finds out you're investigating this, his first reaction won't be to help you investigate, but to drag you back."

"And wouldn't it be an easy task for the All Spirits Society to place an inside agent within your group?" Lin Fan added.

"So what are you going to do next?" Qin Muyao opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

The All Souls Society's target is Lin Fan, not her. No matter what happens to her, the Qin family will protect her, but Lin Fan will not.

Lin Fan didn't answer immediately. She walked to the window, drew the curtains, locked the door, and then returned to the table, asking about the profits from this trip.

"How much did you earn from this live stream?"

Seeing Lin Fan speak so solemnly, Qin Muyao immediately picked up her phone, glanced at the donations, and said, "After deducting the platform's share, it should be 80,000."

"Eighty thousand... Bizarre live streaming really does make money!" Lin Fan exclaimed.

He made 80,000 in just one night. If this continued every day, he would never lack money to make cards.

"Then let's split it evenly, 40,000 each. Plus the dropped material card, which I need, so consider it 10,000 for me."

Qin Muyao shook her head and said, "You handled all of this. If you hadn't summoned the [Netherworld], we wouldn't have made so much money."

Qin Muyao paused for a moment and continued, "How about this, from now on, whoever handles the cards that drop strangely keeps them, and we'll split the money 40/60 this time. You'll still be in charge..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Fan interrupted her, "Okay! But let's split it 50/50 this time. When will the money arrive?"

Qin Muyao nodded and didn't refute anything: "You can withdraw the money now, I'll transfer it to you right away."

"bite"

A short while later, Lin Fan received a notification that the money had been deposited into his account. After glancing at the number, Lin Fan felt much more at ease.

"Are you planning to buy new materials to make cards?" Seeing Lin Fan's eagerness, Qin Muyao probably guessed what was going on.

For a card maker, card making is the fastest and simplest way to increase combat power.

Lin Fan nodded. "Let's take a look. Maybe it can help me improve the cards I have."

"Shall we continue the live stream tomorrow?" Qin Muyao asked.

"No." Lin Fan shook his head, his tone becoming more serious.

"Why?" Qin Muyao was taken aback.

"Our identity as 'agents of the underworld' may not have reached the ears of the All Souls Society yet," Lin Fan said.

"If I suddenly change my lifestyle, they will become suspicious sooner or later and eventually discover that I am the agent of the underworld."

"Go to work when you're supposed to, and leave work when you're supposed to." Lin Fan clipped his mask to his waist. "Let them think I'm just an ordinary person. At least until they find out more, I can't alert them."

Qin Muyao was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Aren't you worried about the live stream? It's been a long time since we got this popular," Lin Fan asked curiously.

"The hype will fade, but if you lose your life, it's really over. There will be plenty of opportunities later!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.
