Chapter 146: Chapter 146 How Much for One Bottle_1

"Forget it, we’re not the police after all, we don’t have the authority. Let’s go back and tell the Crazy Woman; our task would be considered complete"."

Zong Wangyue smacked his lips, "Why do I feel a bit unsatisfied?"

You smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Of course chase down and find out what this Soul Refining Sect is all about, then go straight to their lair and wipe out the whole damn Soul Refining Sect! By that time, we..."

Wei Shuxian poured cold water on Zong Wangyue with a single sentence, "There won’t be a ’by that time.’ If they can easily separate the flesh and bones of a person, just this ability alone could put all of us in mortal danger!"

"What’s there to be afraid of, we still have the Boss, don’t we?"

"Me?" you pointed to yourself, "What can I do with just a pair of arms and legs? It’s good to be passionate, but right now, we are all just ordinary students. Until we truly become stronger, we should try to avoid conflicts with extreme organizations."

Indeed, in your own opinion, your strength was still too weak, and what frustrated you the most was that you still didn’t know how to enhance your own abilities.

When you returned to Ma Hong’s Residence, Xian Qianling had already come back. She was empty-handed and obviously very angry, with a stench of rage on her face.

"You’re finally back. How did it go? What did Elder Daoist Ma say?"

Zhang Zifeng came over and gave you a look.

You nodded your head, purposely ignoring Xian Qianling, and said to Zhang Zifeng, "We’ve got the information. Elder Daoist Ma said Ma Hong’s death should be related to an organization called the Soul Refining Sect, and he also mentioned Ma Hong’s daughter, Ma Xiaozhu, thinking that she might be the cause of this. Fearing the Soul Refining Sect, Elder Daoist Ma refused to show up, and he has left."

"The Soul Refining Sect, again the Soul Refining Sect!"

Zhang Zifeng slammed his hand on the table forcefully.

Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses and asked Zhang Zifeng, "Officer Zhang, do you know about the Soul Refining Sect?"

Zhang Zifeng looked at the silent Xian Qianling and nodded at you, "The Soul Refining Sect is a very secretive organization, involved in several major cases. Their methods of killing are extremely cruel. Up to this point, the information we have is only a vague understanding that their influence is entangled throughout Yuhang, involving many people."

"If you know they are a malevolent organization, why not just send armed police to eradicate them?" Zong Wangyue said self-assuredly.

"If it were that simple, it would be great," Zhang Zifeng sighed lightly, "This Soul Refining Sect operates very secretly, and we have no clue where their lair is. The only information we have is about a stronghold they have, called ’Eternal Demon City’."

"Eternal Demon City?"

You were startled, and instinctively, the chilling paper man came to mind.

"What, you know that place too?" Xian Qianling turned to look at you.

Nodding, you said to everyone, "That place... how should I put it, is very peculiar."

"Yes, very peculiar!" Zhang Zifeng empathized with what you were saying, "We’ve conducted several raids on that place, but they seemed to have been tipped off every time, and they managed to respond accordingly."

"What’s the use of raids? Maybe there’s a... in your police force," Zong Wangyue blurted out but then suddenly realized his mistake and hurriedly shut up.

Wei Shuxian shook his head slightly and patted his shoulder, "I’ve told you many times, when you’re speaking, slow down, slow down."

"Impossible, let’s not even talk about the possibility of a mole in our police force, even if there were, they couldn’t possibly know. Because every one of our raids is conducted in absolute secrecy, and each time, it’s a different group of people."

After thinking for a moment, you said to Zhang Zifeng, "Officer Zhang, I think, you can pay attention to some rather special characters in your usual work."

"What kind of people?"

"Paper men."

"Paper men?"

All eyes turned to you, and Xian Qianling even stood up and walked towards you. She fixed her gaze on you and said, "Do you know something?"

"A little bit."

With that, you recounted to everyone the incidents that had occured to Fan Yi’s friend, Yin Guihua, as well as the scene you witnessed at the highway gas station.

After hearing this, Xian Qianling furrowed her brows and asked, "The problem is, none of us in the criminal police force have your ability to see ghosts. I can’t keep you tied to my side all the time, can I?"

"Please, don’t even think about it!"

You couldn’t wait to get as far away from that crazy woman as possible, and having already thought of a countermeasure, you pulled a bottle of eye drops from your pocket and said to Xian Qianling, "As long as you use the entire bottle of eye drops, you’ll be able to see ghosts and paper figures."

"Oh?"

Xian Qianling reached out to take it, but you dodged and avoided her.

You said to Xian Qianling, "These eye drops are specially made by me, with a very complex production process. I can give you this bottle for free, but if you want more afterward, you have to pay for them."

"Money? What do you need money for?"

"I’m just a poor commoner, what do you think I need money for?" You rolled your eyes at Xian Qianling. She was a young lady who could have whatever she wanted on a whim. Of course, she had no concept of money.

Knowing that Xian Qianling lacked any concept of money, Zhang Zifeng asked you, "How much for one bottle?"

You held up three fingers to them.

"Three thousand?" Xian Qianling said a price that made your heart skip a beat.

Hmm, should you agree? Selling a bottle of water mixed with a talisman for three thousand, wouldn’t that be kind of a rip-off?

Adhering to the principle of small profits but quick turnover, you shook your head, "Three hundred a bottle."

"Deal, give me a box!" Sure enough, the rich young lady ordered a whole box without hesitation.

As a small-time citizen, you swallowed hard and cautiously added, "Are you sure you want a box? A box is going to hold quite a lot."

"Just give me ten bottles for now." Although Zhang Zifeng was also well-off, at least he had some sense of money, unlike Xian Qianling who was always extravagant.

You nodded and pulled out ten bottles of eye drops from your backpack.

Having completed the exchange, you were delighted to pocket the three thousand old silver dollars. Heh, in a sense, this was the first real pot of gold in your life, as this money was genuinely yours, not part of the syndicate’s funds.

"Oh, right," you said to Zhang Zifeng who was closely examining the eye drops, "I suggest you use them while on missions. Don’t just use them anytime, especially not in hospitals, temples, and the like; also, the eye drops last about thirty minutes, after which you’ll need to reapply. It’s best not to use them more than three times a day, or else they could seriously damage your eyes."

While you were speaking, Xian Qianling had already taken the bottle of eye drops that you provided for free and dropped one into her eye.

Afterward, as she looked around and noticed not much change, she was about to speak up when suddenly she saw a hazy figure flutter in through the door, drifting towards you all.

"What is that!?"

With that cry from Xian Qianling, you all quickly turned around, and Dai Zhenan and you were the first to see a long-haired woman floating up close to you.

Upon closer inspection, you suddenly felt you had seen this female ghost before.

"Benefactor, please, I beg you, save Ma Hong!"

Speaking thus, the female ghost knelt down in front of you!
