Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

Changsha is a very large city.

Because of the existence of the Nine Gates, a large number of people who engage in shady dealings have gathered here.

Even those chasing debts and lending money flocked to Changsha.

Even though they live in the slums, they are still highly sought after by powerful figures in Changsha, who have to wait in line for them even if they risk their lives for others.

Therefore, Uncle Beard and his gang set their sights on some of the wealthier landlords outside the city.

Helping them collect debts, getting into fights, etc.

Hu Guohua is a coward; he wouldn't dare utter a sound when he encounters Scarface.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt extremely displeased with Su Mu, a stranger whose identity was unknown and who looked extremely young.

But I was unhappy as much as I was.

Scarface's single word, "boss," extinguished Hu Guohua's lingering resentment.

What kind of good person would someone be to recruit vicious thugs as "employees"?

The carriage traveled in the direction of Shisanlipu, as indicated by Sun Guofu.

Hu Guohua, who was weak, was running behind the carriage and was covered in sweat.

"He doesn't look well, let's wait for him."

Sun Guofu, being kind-hearted, pulled back the curtain of the carriage window and peeked out.

"I think he's alright."

The driver answered, looked up at the darkening sky, and casually lashed out with his whip again.

"what!"

Hu Guohua winced in pain, clutching his leg and gritting his teeth as he continued jogging forward.

Scarface had a cold look in his eyes and a ferocious expression. If he didn't obey, the other party might get out of the car and kill him immediately.

Even in the face of life and death, Hu Guohua chose to continue moving forward despite his weakened body.

"They really caught up." Sun Guofu listened to the footsteps behind him with some surprise and nodded in satisfaction.

Su Mu, who was in the car, suddenly remembered.

Sun Guofu's kindness and soft heart led to his death due to being implicated by Hu Guohua.

If Hu Guohua had any manly courage and dared to face that female corpse ghost directly, he wouldn't have left Sun Guofu alone to deal with her and get infected with the corpse poison.

Sun Guofu was good, but Su Mu was not.

The sound of the driver cracking the whip was unusually loud; Su Mu could tell that it wasn't the sound of whipping the horse.

Because the carriage was rented, the other party was reluctant to hit it too hard, as they would have to pay for the damage themselves.

But beating Hu Guohua is a different story.

Su Mu felt an urge to stomp on his spine at his pathetic state.

Whether in his past life or this one, Su Mu has an extreme aversion to people who squander their family's inheritance for momentary pleasure.

"Whoa~"

"We've arrived at the employer's place."

The scarred coachman pulled the carriage to a stop by the roadside.

Shisanlipu is a mass burial ground, and some of the corpses buried there were the work of these people, so they are quite familiar with it.

After following Su Mu, he took on fewer jobs that required money and risking his life, which is why he hasn't come over recently.

Because the sky had not yet completely darkened.

At this time, not many ghostly figures or sinister auras were seen in the Thirteen Mile Shop.

However, there are many skeletal remains everywhere, and many burial sites where the remains were buried very shallowly and the coffins were dug up and the bodies were eaten by wild dogs.

Because we had scouted the location beforehand.

After getting off the bus, Sun Guofu raised his finger and pointed to the burial location of the woman in red.

"It is said that she was originally a rich girl, but she fell in love with a poor scholar and became pregnant. As a result, she was beaten to death by her father. Her mother, seeing that she was pitiful, secretly ordered her to be buried here."

Sun Guofu gave a brief introduction to the female corpse ghost's origins and identity in life.

If one were to judge Sun Guofu's story based on Su Mu's previous life experiences, it would certainly seem utterly unbelievable.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs; who would personally kill their own offspring?

But this was during the Republic of China era.

Wealthy men can easily have seven or eight concubines, and the children they bear are merely the product of impulse, devoid of any affection.

Let alone a daughter born to a concubine, even if it were a concubine, no one would care if she were beaten to death.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing his subordinate, eager to show off, about to step forward to check the situation, Su Mu stopped him.

"This is no joke."

Su Mu shook his head with a wry smile.

That red-clad female corpse ghost could even kill a feng shui master like Sun Guofu, so it wouldn't be a big deal if an ordinary Taoist priest came. Not to mention that Scarface was just a low-level hoodlum who hadn't even condensed any evil-repelling aura on his body.

"With several of us here, the female ghost dares not show her face. Since it was you who caused this, you must resolve the consequences. Here is a black donkey hoof, and here is a talisman that I bought from Mr. Su. Take this and go open her coffin. Put the black donkey hoof into her mouth and stick the talisman on her forehead."

Sun Guofu called Hu Guohua, who was propped up on his legs, breathing heavily and covered in sweat, to his side.

Upon hearing this...

Hu Guohua waved his hands forcefully, his face deathly pale: "No, no, we can't do that, we can't do that, that female ghost is terrifying..."

Sun Guofu frowned: "I have secretly used magic to replace the paper figure she was possessing with the black donkey hoof in your hand. With the addition of the young master's talisman, there will be no problem."

Hu Guohua was covered in cold sweat, looking hesitantly at the talisman and the black donkey hoof in his hand.

The effects of the opium had completely dissipated after he had run for a while.

Even after he was fully awake, he still couldn't bring himself to confront the source of his fear alone in front of these people.

"It's alright, let us do it. Since the deal is already done, consider this an extra perk for you, Uncle."

Su Mu shook his head and, with the scarred man in tow, began walking towards the burial site of the woman in red.

Sun Guofu glared at Hu Guohua with exasperation and quickly followed after him.

Just like he said before.

There is a cause and effect to this matter.

Unless Hu Guohua personally investigates the cause and effect, the red-clad female corpse may suddenly attack and harm people.

The opponent's simple corpse poison can kill people, not to mention the many evil methods they use.

"We must not be careless; we should be cautious," Sun Guofu urged, catching up with Su Mu and his companion.

Clang!

Scarface drew the sword from his waist and strode forward with a ferocious expression.

Even with a real gun pointed at his forehead, he couldn't be killed. Su Mu was right beside him at that moment. Would he really let him die like that?

In fact.

From that night when his personal guards launched a surprise attack, Uncle Beard and the others developed a kind of fanatical devotion to Su Mu.

They firmly believed that as long as Su Mu was there, they could ignore any dangers and stride forward to cut him down.

Sun Guofu watched with surprise and deep emotion as the scarred man strode forward with his head held high and his sword drawn.

"It seems I'll have to pass on the Shangqing Great Cave Scripture that I don't need to them when I get back. These guys are too reckless."

Seeing his subordinates, who were holding knives and advancing with the same gaze as Sun Guofu, Su Mu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Walk slowly."

Su Mu sighed, raised his hand and began to draw a protective golden light spell on the back of his subordinate, while chanting incantations.

"Have you used this knife before?"

"Never used it before, boss."

"The Golden Blade Spell is still there, and the Protective Golden Light Spell is ready. Go and use it, but be careful."

"Alright, hehehe."

"..."
