NovelHook/A Top Scholar in Everything/Chapter 42

A Top Scholar in Everything Chapter 42

The Dead Dog Tavern was in a fierce battle, and Baiyu and Qin Shou didn’t continue to stay. The decadent uncle and those three responsible figures were fighting intensely, their clothes gradually becoming less and less. The two were afraid that if they continued watching, they would see something unpleasant. Being a bystander can be very dangerous. To prevent the group of black-robed people from escaping, they were gradually expanding. "Brother Yu, this woman serves the Evil God, killed several people, keeping her is a curse." Qin Shou’s eyes flickered uncertainly. Almost killed by a bondage play, at this moment, he was holding back a lot of anger, planning to execute the woman on the spot. "What if she has accomplices? Right now we have her, at critical moments we can use her as a shield, and if we encounter her companions, we can negotiate. Alive, she’s a bargaining chip, dead, she’s a corpse." Baiyu considered this thoroughly. Not squeezing out her remaining value would be unfair to those dead people! This group of monsters who treat their kind as blood food, even if he dismembers them a thousand times, he feels no guilt. "Alright, what do we do now?" Qin Shou touched his green helmet, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart. The two slowly retreated into the alley. The previous punch almost drained Baiyu’s Blood Qi, encountering another fight would be troublesome. At this moment, Cang Yan’s voice suddenly came into Baiyu’s mind: "That woman has a problem, her spirit is not right, she should be possessed by someone!" Baiyu’s steps stopped, thinking to himself: "Of course, she’s a pimp, when wouldn’t her body be possessed by someone?" "No, her spirit body is connected with a bizarre creature, relying on demon power, to occupy someone’s body." Cang Yan continued to explain. "Are you saying she’s been possessed?" Baiyu asked. "Yes, that’s possession! Your description is so accurate, to even create the word ’possession.’ "Uh, a hamster’s intelligence definitely couldn’t come up with this." "Damn it, I’m not a hamster! Enough chit-chat, I can deal with the power inside her body, just give me the appropriate tools, I can make a Sealing Object." Cang Yan’s words made Baiyu’s face turn serious. He never trusted this hamster. But since it’s something from the space, it should be minimally harmful. Besides, he controls Cang Yan’s life and death at any time. "You don’t need to doubt me, I’ve recently taken a nap and recalled some memories." "I made a mistake back then and was locked in that space, and now if I leave the space for too long, I’ll die." "I can’t defy the space." "In other words, my survival depends on the space, we are a community of interests, only when you become strong can I live peacefully." Cang Yan continued: "If it weren’t , I wouldn’t help you." Baiyu naturally wouldn’t completely believe his nonsense. But the point about the community of interests, he somewhat agrees with. As long as Baiyu wishes. He could imprison the hamster in the space forever. Of course, this hamster poses no threat now, there’s no need to do that. "Are you saying to extract the power used in a bloody sacrifice from her body and turn it into a Sealing Object? You sure this isn’t playing with fire?" Baiyu deeply understands the terror of Extraordinary Power. Those Extraordinary are still okay. This kind of uncontrollable Extraordinary Power, from mysterious existences, greatly causes human mutation. "I’m eighty percent sure. As long as there’s no problem in the creation process, there won’t be any issue using it. I’m not in a human body now, and my spirit body isn’t human, with high resistance to mysteries. Now you should consider how to leave safely, we’ll discuss this afterwards. Don’t die, I don’t want to die with you. Also, the power inside this woman’s body is helping her recover, keep an eye on it at all times." The hamster’s voice disappeared again. "Brother Yu, what’s wrong?" Seeing Baiyu stop, Qin Shou asked with some confusion. "Nothing, just taking some precautions." Bruce felt the world spin, the little energy gathered in his body was instantly dispersed, his brain suddenly fainting. Before passing out, he had only one thought. This little bastard, if not killed, it’s hard to quell his intense hatred! After dealing with the woman, the two quickly headed to the storage yard behind the tavern. The main purpose of this trip is the Elf Banshee. Although they encountered Evil God cultists and bounty hunters, Baiyu was obviously not willing to give up so easily. The deposit of two hundred thousand has already been paid. If they miss this chance, who knows how long they’d have to wait again. Getting an Elf Banshee for two hundred thousand is something unimaginable. The chaotic situation right now isn’t entirely disadvantageous. Although the danger has greatly increased, conversely, the chance for him to safely acquire the Elf Banshee Hair has also greatly increased. After all, everyone’s attention has been attracted by the battle between the bounty hunters and the tavern martial artists, leaving no one to focus here. Lin Shan and the investigator from the West District, Xu Kai, had already arrived. However, they did not go to the tavern to deal with the bounty hunters’ battle. They intercepted two people in black robes. Actually, it can’t really be called interception. The two were trying to find Bruce, but couldn’t contact him for a while, and coincidentally ran into two investigators. Charman and Guman’s faces flashed with coldness as they slowly retreated. The two of them were not afraid of these two investigators. They were merely Sequence Eight Extraordinary. But if they couldn’t resolve them with lightning speed, it might drag on until the real experts of Linjiang City arrived. Anomaly Bureau General Office, the law enforcement captain of the church, the imperial armed forces’ general... Any one among them arriving could make today a costly defeat for them, and the plans for the Day of Ruin and the Demon Paper would collapse. "Assistant Priest of the Abyssal Ascetic Association... indeed, it’s you guys." Xu Kai’s scarred face twitched, his gaze fierce: "I thought you would calm down after facing pressure from various sides these past three years. But unexpectedly, you’ve become more rampant, even daring to extend your reach into Linjiang City. Do you know that your days are numbered, so one by one you want to embrace mutation?" Lin Shan stepped forward: "Is the Demon Paper something you created as well? Are half of the Extraordinary events occurring frequently in Linjiang City these days from your hands?" Charman and Guman slowly retreated. "We can’t engage them directly, use the Sealing Object." Charman did not hesitate, pulling out a strangely shaped revolver from his wide sleeve. What makes it strange. Is its uniquely styled barrel, with red lines akin to blood vessels intertwined and spreading like tendrils, glowing eerily red. The black paint had peeled off its surface, revealing a rusty brass barrel. Its appearance was a revolver. No one would believe it could be used in combat. Xu Kai and Lin Shan rapidly became alert upon seeing this gun, as though faced with a formidable opponent. After all, Sealing Objects are notoriously unpredictable. No one knows what effects it might have. "Not waiting for Bruce?" Guman frowned. Charman’s expression turned cold: "He has lost his identity, his value to us has greatly decreased, the situation now is urgent, there’s no time to wait for him." He waved his arm, pointing the black gun barrel at Guman. The gun emitted a sound resembling a sneer. Then it fired a stream of white liquid. Guman hit by the shot convulsed and fell backward. His whole body dissolved like flowing water, leaving only the wide black robe. After accomplishing all this, Charman smiled slightly, the gun barrel aimed at his own forehead: "I look forward to seeing both of you next time." His body dissolved and the revolver vanished along with him. Lin Shan and Xu Kai, who were originally prepared to sacrifice their lives and offer up their hearts for battle, both had strained expressions. It was like their ultimate move, charged for a long time, hitting nothing but cotton. "Isn’t it said that every member of the Abyssal Ascetic Association is highly zealous, fighting at the sight of people, even engaging in suicidal attacks? What’s with these two! Shooting a gun to escape, they’ve brought shame to the face of secret organizations!" Xu Kai punched his flying car next to him. Punching right through the metal shell. "The opponent escaped using a Sealing Object, there’s nothing we can do. Let’s deal with the situation at the tavern first. The law and order in the North District are getting worse; the investigators assigned by headquarters also don’t know when they’ll arrive." Lin Shan rubbed her temples, her gaze sweeping towards the burning Dead Dog Tavern.
