Black Book

Chapter 323: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you!
"Arrogant Adventers, since you don't know how to respect life, I have to teach you some philosophy of life..."

"Do unto others, do not impose on others!"

[Black Book]: Dao Heart +10
The last trace of depression in his heart dissipated, Zhu Haomiao raised a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

"Uncle, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Huh? Oh."

Not understanding why the boy suddenly cheered up from his depressed mood, Yin Tianze nodded stupidly and watched his slowly receding back as he disappeared around the corner of the street.

After a while, Zhu Haomiao came to a ruin that had been burned to scorched earth and frowned in distress.

A few hours ago, this should have been an inn.

Behind the young man, Yan Yunsheng was holding a long sword and leading a sturdy blue-backed wolfhound in his hand, and he hesitated.

"My Lord, forget it, it's all burnt..."

"Oh, let's do our best to obey fate."

Seeing that the young man was still unwilling to give up, Yan Yunsheng untied the cloth strip that wrapped the long sword and handed the handle to the nose of the spirit dog.

After carefully sniffing the remaining scent on the handle of the knife, the blue-backed wolfhound raised its head in confusion. After turning around, it returned to Yan Yunsheng's feet with its head hung high.

"Woo~"

Seeing this, Yan Yunsheng sighed calmly.

"Sir, there is indeed no trace of it."

Zhu Haomiao was just trying to give it a try, so he wasn't too disappointed and nodded calmly.

"I know, let's go back."

But just after he took two steps, a little snow-white head popped out of his skin, ran onto the boy's shoulder, and hummed and acted coquettishly in his ear.

"Uh-huh~"

"Are you hungry again? Didn't you just eat..."

Zhu Haomiao smiled and tapped Diao Chan's nose. Suddenly, something moved in his heart, remembering the little guy's unusual sense of smell.

"Yunsheng, bring the knife!"

"Yes!"

Holding the long knife under Diao Chan's nose, Zhu Haomiao scratched her chin.

"If you find something with this scent, I'll make you a special meal!"

"grumble?!"

Hearing this, Diao Chan's eyes lit up. He lay on the hilt of the knife and sniffed fiercely. Then he jumped to Zhu Haomiao's head, stood up and looked around.

The small nostrils opened and closed slightly, and after sniffing around, Diao Chan suddenly stopped, grabbed the boy's hair with his little claws and pulled it lightly.

"grumble!"

Zhu Haomiao understood what he meant and showed surprise on his face. He ran wildly following Diao Chan's guidance.

After crossing two streets, a dilapidated and desolate courtyard came into view. Zhu Haomiao crossed the wall without hesitation and landed lightly in the weed-covered courtyard.

Diao Chan jumped down from the boy's head, ran to the well covered with stone slabs, and dug hard on the stone slabs with his little claws.

"grumble!"

Zhu Haomiao lifted the stone slab and looked down. The clear well water was in full view without any suspicious signs.

But Diao Chan drilled all the way down the well wall, stopped not far from the well water, and frantically scratched the brick wall.

Bang!
A brick was knocked out and fell to the bottom of the well. Diao Chan poked his head into the gap and returned to Zhu Haomiao with a palm-sized brocade bag in his mouth.

"Gee~"

The sachet was handed to the young man like a treasure. Diao Chan raised his head and his big furry tail swung wildly.

Touch me now!
Touch me now!
"That's great! I'll make you something delicious when I get home!"

Unable to help but pick up Diao Chan and give him a kiss, Zhu Haomiao opened the brocade bag and took out a cloudy, dark red crystal.

"Hehe, Xu Xu is so good at knocking on doors~" Diao Chan puffed out his chest proudly and twisted his little butt happily. Suddenly, he saw a flash of green light leaping by the side, and it instantly turned into a white lightning and chased after it.

On the other side, looking at the dark red crystal in his hand, Zhu Haomiao looked left and right but didn't find anything magical about it. It felt like an ordinary rough stone.

Even if it is polished into a valuable gem, it is not worth so many experts' persistent pursuit, right?
Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao frowned suspiciously, and suddenly heard a crunching sound of chewing next to his ear.

Turning his head, he saw that the mink had a half-eaten strange insect in its claws, and was eating it till the juices were oozing out.

Meeting the boy's eyes, Diao Chan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly put the half-eaten insect to his mouth.

"Tree tree, good, love, water!"

"........."

Looking at the insect whose four legs were still twitching and kicking, Zhu Haomiao could only give a polite yet awkward smile.

"I can't eat it, I can't eat it..."

"Can't you come?"

Diao Chan tilted his head in a cute and silly way, blinking his big eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he took out a thumb-thick emerald green pig worm covered with saliva from his cheek.

"Baji~Baji~Good, love, water!"

"........."

I don’t like eating explosive food!
After a long silence, Zhu Haomiao laughed dryly and rubbed Diao Chan's head.

"You really don't need this, just eat it yourself."

After saying this, fearing that Diao Chan would continue to show his filial piety, Zhu Haomiao stuffed it into his leather bag and turned away.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yan Yunsheng chasing after me.

"Find out who owns this empty house and whether he has any connection with Huo Hong."

"Yes."

"By the way, where are the two guys we caught today being held?"

"According to your instructions, a prison in the market town has been vacated to hold them. It is located in Xingguangfang."

"Ah."

Nodding, Zhu Haomiao went straight to Xingguangfang Prison and saw Dai Jinhong, who was fully armed and ready to face a formidable enemy, in the underground cell.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Li Lin coming, Dai Jinhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He had heard about the destructive power of these two guys, and they were at least fourth-grade masters.

Even though they were seriously injured and fell into a coma, Dai Jinhong did not dare to be careless.

"Thanks for your hard work."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao nodded gently, his eyes skipping over Dai Jinhong and looking at the two descenders who were still in a coma.

It has to be said that the vitality of the gold-level extraordinary people is very tenacious. Even without any treatment measures, their injuries have stopped worsening and are gradually developing in the right direction.

Realizing that they seemed to be about to wake up, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds and gave instructions to Dai Jinhong.

"Go find some silver needles."

"Yes!"

Soon, a pair of silver needles were delivered to the dungeon. Zhu Haomiao pulled out the longest one and slowly injected true energy into it.

After today's experiments, he discovered that using basic energy together with the authority of original sin seemed to produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

However, there are also compatibility issues between the two. Some of them work well together, while others are incompatible.

For example, [Laziness] and [Demon Sealing Power] seem to complement each other...

Gently twisting the silver needle, a gray-white silk thread invisible to others spreads from the void and wriggles lightly around the needle tip.

Walking in front of Yoshihiko Kitano, Zhu Haomiao inserted a silver needle into the Baihui acupoint, piercing the skull, almost going in without the handle, and penetrating deep into the brain.

[Demon Sealing Power·Soul Devouring] + [Laziness]!
