Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

It really is this thing!

"Ah, finally done! Take this thing back to the station and seal it up; it's no longer my responsibility!" Colt said with a relaxed expression.

Zhao Hao frowned, but finally couldn't help asking, "Colt, is this alright?"

Ps:

I'm recommending a book by a friend, "Treasure Hunting Begins in England," by the author Viscount's Blue and White Porcelain, who's also a member of our group! He's already a Level 4 expert! You should check it out!

Chapter 23 The paper man shoots the corpse

"Uncle Tie said that if this curse cannot be broken immediately, Nelson and his wife and daughters probably won't survive..."

Zhao Hao's meaning was clear: if Colt took the Gypsy coin back to the Bureau of Mysteries for safekeeping, by the time it was properly dealt with, the whole family would probably be buried!

Colt tore open the wrapper of a piece of chewing gum and began to chew it in silence.

To be honest, the responsibility of the Bureau of Mysteries is to suppress supernatural events and the influence of the underworld, not to rescue ordinary people.

Going back now would be a good thing, but taking other actions would likely lead to trouble.

It's a bit like helping an old lady in China. If everything goes smoothly, you get no benefits, but if things don't go smoothly, you might get into a lawsuit and be extorted.

When the time comes and someone says, "You didn't hit him, so why did you help him up?", I really wish I could turn back time and be there to applaud!

Zhao Hao understood Colt's predicament, so he didn't offer any advice or urge him on. His two men in black also exchanged glances and remained silent, waiting for their boss to speak.

The Secret Bureau branch has a great deal of autonomy, but the consequences of all its actions are also considerable.

Colt frowned, looked up and around, and saw a photo of the Nelson family of three in the hall.

"Pah!" He spat out his chewing gum and asked Zhao Hao, "Did Uncle Tie say how to handle this?"

In that instant, Zhao Hao felt that even his bald forehead was shining!

……

"Go and chase the old man who looks after the cemetery away, don't let him come and get in the way."

"You two, dig!"

At this moment, Colt and Zhao Hao, along with four or five secret agents from the Bureau of Mystery, were in a simple public cemetery.

This cemetery is located in a remote area and is very old. Many of the tombstones and crosses have been eroded beyond recognition by wind and rain.

The vast cemetery, which holds at least several thousand people, is only guarded by a lame old man who is drunk and lying in a simple house.

The man in black returned and shrugged at Colt: "Boss, he's sleeping like a log, you can't wake him up!"

What a clever way to play dumb! He's definitely got the makings of a night watchman! The night watchman of the great tomb!

Several men in black began digging with shovels; they were digging up the grave of the old Gypsy woman.

According to Uncle Tie, this old Gypsy woman was a petty and resentful person who uttered a curse before she died. If it had happened ten years earlier, during the period of psychic dormancy, she would have simply died and nothing would have happened. But things are different now; presumably, it's because of those ancestral Gypsy spells that she's been using.

If the coin is not handled properly, the whole family will almost certainly die.

Although Uncle Iron doesn't know much about Gypsy magic, these kinds of spells all have one thing in common: "backlash"!

The spell is broken if the altar is destroyed, or if the medium of the curse is destroyed or disposed of in some way, and it will severely backfire on the caster.

Uncle Tie's expression was very serious at the time: "Especially these kinds of unorthodox methods that have no lineage, just messing around haphazardly. If they really backfire, the consequences will be extremely tragic! Those folks who hear about some kind of magic and then try to do it themselves, they all end up with no good endings."

The method that Uncle Tie told Zhao Hao was to "return" the coin to the old lady!

It will directly cause the spell to backfire!

At the time, Zhao Hao was quite puzzled. The person was already dead, so why would there be a backlash? But time was of the essence, so he didn't ask any further questions.

With a dull thud, the shovel struck the coffin. Judging from the sound, the coffin boards must have been quite thin.

Big Yellow stared intently at the coffin in the pit, its tail no longer wagging, and it made a "woof woof woof" sound in its throat.

Zhao Hao stroked Da Huang's head, thinking to himself: Don't scare me!

Two ropes and four people carried the coffin up. It was such a pitiful little coffin; even in death, the poor are denied dignity!

The man in black plunged a shovel into the seam of the coffin and began to pry open the coffin lid.

Zhao Hao was a little nervous and didn't dare to breathe.

Damn, I've never even thought about tomb raiding!

Suddenly, with a loud "boom," a purple lightning bolt tore through the thick dark clouds in the distance and disappeared in a flash!

It's unclear whether the men in black were also frightened, but with a sudden effort, the coffin lid snapped off with a "bang" and flew far away!

In an instant, everyone stood still, looking at each other.

In the end, Colt, with his experience and courage, whispered, "You have a plan, don't you? Hurry up! It's about to rain!"

Zhao Hao gritted his teeth, picked up the Gypsy coin, and went to the coffin. By the light of his flashlight, he saw the old woman's shriveled and deformed body.

It's hard to describe. You could say it's corrupt, but it's not extremely corrupt, though it already smells of decay!

I don't know if it was already wrinkled before it died, but its face was basically unrecognizable!

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and stuffed the coin into the old lady's pocket.

Just then, a loud "crack" rang out, followed by another thunderclap! Big Yellow suddenly barked!

A withered hand suddenly grabbed Zhao Hao's wrist! The old woman opened her eyes!

"Holy crap! It's come back to life!"

Zhao Hao was so frightened that he almost fell into the coffin. He struggled to back away, but the dead man's hand held his wrist tightly and he couldn't break free!

At this moment, the old woman had already sat up, facing Zhao Hao face to face, no more than thirty centimeters apart! A strange dark purple aura wafted over the old woman's corpse!

"Holy shit!" Zhao Hao reflexively threw a punch, but unfortunately, whether it was because he was in a panic and didn't have enough strength, or because he wasn't used to his left hand and couldn't use it properly, his hideous, wrinkled old face took the punch and half of his face was sunken, but his body didn't even sway!

Colt and several men in black had already drawn their guns, but Zhao Hao was too close to fire!

The corpse's other hand suddenly reached for Zhao Hao's neck, but at the crucial moment, Da Huang rushed over, bit the old lady's wrist, and pulled hard!

Big Yellow was quite strong; it managed to straighten the old lady's arm completely.

But the old woman had already opened her terrifyingly large mouth, so wide open that it looked like her jaw had dislocated, like a black hole!

His mouth was full of pus or something, and he was making gurgling noises that were extremely disgusting!

A strong stench hit Zhao Hao's face, almost making him faint!

"You son of a bitch!" Zhao Hao hardened his heart, stopped struggling, and instead shoved the object at him with all his might!

His right hand shoved into the corpse's face, and the coin in his hand was stuffed into the corpse's mouth! He even pounced on her, pressing the old woman firmly into the coffin!

He even tried to cover the corpse's mouth with his hands to prevent it from vomiting. But a tremendous force suddenly threw him away, sending him spinning several meters through the air!

Before he could even get up, a bloodcurdling scream erupted from the coffin, a sound that seemed inhuman. At the same time, a torrential downpour began…

Zhao Hao looked up and saw that the old woman had straightened up and stood up from the coffin in a flash!

Then came a burst of gunfire, like popping beans!

Colt and his men emptied their pistols immediately, but it was already a corpse; the bullets only made it tremble a few times.

Then Colt shouted, "Use the Superior Plasma Psionic Eliminator!"

Then a man in black pulled two strange long sticks out from his back, along with a strange device on his back, making it look like he was spraying pesticides on fruit trees.

The two metal rods were covered in a ghostly blue light at the top, and there was an electric current running between them, making them look very high-tech.

The man in black, wielding pesticide, made a gesture as if to stab the corpse.

However, although the corpse's movements were shaky and unsteady, it was very fast and incredibly strong. With a single sweep of its hand, it knocked the two sticks away and flung them to the side. Then, with another swing, it slammed into the man in black, sending him flying!

"Fuck!" Colt had just reloaded special ammunition into his large revolver when he fired three shots. The bullets hit the corpse, having a good braking effect, and the bullet holes were even catching fire! The flames began to spread...

Unfortunately, it's raining now, so the incendiary bombs aren't very effective. However, they did attract the attention of the corpses and saved the man in black who was spraying pesticides.

The corpse abandoned the man in black not far away, let out a strange cry, and lunged at Colt.

The other men in black were very loyal and tried to stop her, but the old lady bumped into them and they all fell over like bowling balls.

At the crucial moment, Big Yellow came to the rescue, biting the corpse's ankle and slowing it down.

However, Zhao Hao noticed a gash on Da Huang's back, likely from the injury inflicted by the corpse when he was thrown into the air. Rainwater had seeped in, soaking and ruining the surrounding paper.

Without a second thought, Zhao Hao rushed forward and unleashed a powerful "Dragon Flying Kick" in mid-air! It struck the old woman squarely in the emaciated chest, nearly knocking her over!

Then Zhao Hao followed up with a "Lobster Elbow" that slammed into the corpse's face, followed by a "Mule Groin Kick," and then... he was sent flying more than three meters away by the corpse's arms!

The corpse was like an old tree, completely impervious to bullets and fists. Even the pesticide-laden stick, which seemed to be some kind of secret weapon, couldn't touch it…

Zhao Hao suddenly remembered the paper doll that Uncle Tie had given him and what he had said: "Just throw out the paper doll when it matters!"

Zhao Hao quickly pulled out the paper figure and threw it out, shouting at the same time, "Uncle Tie, help me!!!"

Uncle Tie was standing quietly against a wall in the antique shop when suddenly he opened his eyes, made a sword hand seal, and shouted, "Go!"

Zhao Hao threw out the paper figure riding a horse, which expanded in the wind and transformed into a Song Dynasty knight in silver helmet and armor riding a white horse before it even hit the ground. He drew his bow and shouted, "Beware of the arrow!"

A beam of light instantly pierced the corpse's forehead, and the body, which even several burly men couldn't stop, fell backward.

Uncle Tie, working in the antique shop, looked at the Chinese almanac on the wall: June 29, 1978, the 6th day of the fifth lunar month, an inauspicious day for moving graves or disturbing the earth...

He tore off the page of the almanac, "Another day has passed."

……

At the cemetery, Colt was in a terrible state, with several men in black covered in mud, but thankfully no one was injured.

He glanced down at his silver suit; the corpse had sprayed out a lot of unidentified liquid when it came back to life, and now he reeked of a foul stench. Even a torrential downpour couldn't hide it!

"This is my favorite suit; dry cleaning would cost at least $20!"

He was about to confront Zhao Hao, the instigator, when he saw Zhao Hao holding the yellow paper dog, which had been soaked and ruined by the rain, wailing loudly: "Big Yellow, you and I depended on each other for survival. I never imagined that today, I, an old man, would bury my black dog! Big Yellow~~~ You died in the line of duty for this country! Ah~~~"

A man in black took off his sunglasses, touched his eyes, patted Zhao Hao's shoulder, and sobbed in comfort, "He's a hero!"

Colt had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue...
