Chapter 291: Chapter 280: Mysterious Dimension 35

The next day, a group of people found the location of September Square and conducted an investigation on the so-called Master Jiu.

Master Jiu was the nominal steward of September Square, and the industries involved were gambling, loan sharking, and a secret flower shop, which was the so-called brothel. September Square had employed many enforcers who usually collected debts or dealt with issues that couldn’t be handled in a straightforward manner.

This Master Jiu was rather ruthless. It was said he had killed quite a lot of people, but with someone backing September Square, no one dared to lay a hand on them.

The forbidden items that Wan Ting mentioned were Five Stone Powder. Consuming it would become addictive, and excessive consumption would lead to deterioration of health or even cause cancer.

Forbidden items were explicitly banned in this country, but the profit from it was huge, and thus there were many taking the risk to smuggle them.

However, all these activities were conducted secretly. It was unclear why this Master Jiu would actually let Wan Ting put the forbidden substance into the tea of the audience attending the opera shows. He must have known the risk was extraordinarily high once this was discovered.

In order to find out the truth, Mo Si and Xia Xi set off to the residence of Master Jiu that night.

They heard that Master Jiu did not go to bed early, so when they went, it was past two in the very early morning.

However, the moment they stepped into Master Jiu’s dwelling, they sensed something was off.

Mo Si noticed that the smell of blood was pungent, so intense that he almost threw up.

"Resentful spirits, lots of them. But it’s strange; the resentful spirits are confined within this room," Xia Xi whispered.

"I smell the thick scent of blood. Many people have died here, not less than a hundred. The resentment reaches to the heavens, yet everything appears normal here," Mo Si muttered with a frown; his keen sense of smell made him uncomfortable at this moment.

Xia Xi studied the surroundings and after a while, her voice supressed with anger, she uttered, "Hundred Evil Transport Array, it’s this evil array."

"What kind of array is that?" Mo Si asked.

"Killing a hundred people, using their bodies as tools for the array, allowing their blood to flow throughout the entire array, and then harnessing the resentment to transform into good fortune. In the room at the center of the array, it enhances the owner’s fortune, and lets their life sail smoothly.

However, this is a half-completed Hundred Evil Transport Array. It still lacks the most crucial part, which once included, would make the array perfect.

Even so, this can give the owner a better fortune than the average person."

Xia Xi took a deep breath and explained.

"You’re saying this mansion buried more than a hundred people?" Mo Si asked.

"Yes." Xia Xi replied with a solemn expression.

"There should be a highly skilled practitioner here. Let’s be cautious." Xia Xi advised Mo Si, looking at him.

"I got it." Mo Si nodded, and they searched for the room of Master Jiu in the mansion.

"He’s asleep, let’s go inside," Mo Si probed the situation inside with his spiritual sense from the outside. Without any problem, he first cut off the connection between the inside and the outside.

After they went in, both of them started observing the room.

They found many talismans in the room, used likely for suppressing ghosts. There was also a talisman around Master Jiu’s neck, which was already activated and could ward off many ghosts.

"This bastard is afraid of death, yet he killed so many people." Xia Xi looked at Master Jiu with utter disgust in her eyes.

She loathed people who brought disaster to others for their own benefit the most.

"Cast the truth-revealing spell on him," Xia Xi said to Mo Si.

"Alright." Mo Si nodded, walked to the bed where Master Jiu was lying, and formed a hand seal.

The next moment, Master Jiu opened his eyes and sat up.
