Chapter 565: Hearing the Ghost Cry Like Waves of Wheat
"This bracelet of yours is a big trouble. Unfortunately, I don't know much about sacrificial vessels, so I don't know what this thing is used for."

Sister Liu looked at the bracelet on Xiao Ran's hand, but couldn't figure out the mystery of the bracelet.

"It doesn't matter. I'll find a way to take it off sooner or later."

Xiao Ran has no way to solve the problem of the bracelet for the time being, but since this thing comes from the Northeast, maybe he will have to find a chance to go to the Northeast in the future. Since there is no way to solve it now, he should not worry about this bracelet for the time being.

"How about trying out your new ability first?"

Sister Liu looked at Xiao Ran's hands with great anticipation. After becoming a [Smuggler], a special layer of luster appeared on Xiao Ran's hands.

It is difficult to describe what this luster is. At first glance, it is a bit like a thin layer of gauze covering your palm.

This should be related to the smugglers' professional skills.

Xiao Ran looked at Shanlong who was lying on the dissection table and tried to reach out and place his hand on Shanlong's body.

I saw dense silver threads emerging from the palm of my hand, and these silver threads penetrated into the body of the mountain dragon like hair.

A very subtle feeling surged into Xiao Ran's heart at this moment.

This feeling……

It's a bit like fishing.

Yes, fishing among the corpses.

After careful observation, Xiao Ran discovered that although the silver thread had penetrated into the mountain dragon's body, it did not actually have any substantial contact with the dragon's flesh.

It's more like using the corpse as a medium to lead to an elusive place in the dark.

"It is rumored that pirates can touch the line of fate. I didn't expect it to be true."

Sister Liu looked at the silver thread extending from Xiao Ran's palm and urged, "Hurry! Try to feel around and see if you can find anything inside."

Xiao Ran nodded when he heard that, and he concentrated and controlled the silver thread in his hand to try to explore the surroundings.

Soon, Xiao Ran realized something and clenched his palms suddenly. All the silver threads seemed to tighten suddenly at this moment.

One by one, the silver lines began to stretch straight, as if there was a force struggling underneath.

"This feeling..."

Xiao Ran lifted the silver thread in his hand and surprisingly found it to be very familiar.

"Hmm...like fishing!"

Isn't this just a coincidence? I have the ability of a fishing master and I can put it to good use.

Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to tighten the silver thread and lift the thing up. He had no idea how strong the silver thread's carrying capacity was. But the thing below kept struggling, so he slowly pulled it up.

After a while, the silver thread was retracted inside little by little, and Xiao Ran would occasionally slow down to relieve the force.

After repeating this for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly seized the moment when this thing relaxed and violently pulled in the silver thread. When this thing wanted to exert force again, it had no chance to resist and was directly pulled out of the mountain dragon's body by Xiao Ran.

"This is!!"

Xiao Ran and Sister Liu took a closer look.

A special destiny appeared in Xiao Ran's palm among the silver threads.

At the same time, information about this thing also appeared in front of Xiao Ran.

【Moon Column·Cause and Effect Scale】

Numerology: The weight of good and evil increases and decreases in real time, and retribution in this life increases tenfold.

Xiao Ran looked at the fate on his hand and looked at Sister Liu in confusion: "Is this thing good or bad? Why can't I understand it?"

"It's considered a Class C fate."

Sister Liu explained to Xiao Ran: "This fate has a high rate of return for some people who like to do good deeds, but doing good deeds without asking for the future is often unrewarding. However, this fate will increase your blessings, and they will come quickly. However, sometimes when you save someone, it means you offend a person, or even a group of people, which will bring disaster to yourself. Therefore, this fate can only be regarded as Grade C."

"That's it."

Xiao Ran was a little disappointed.

I have another one of this C-level life evil spirit in my hand, which I bought from the Changchun Hall of Xingbaozhu [Heavenly Pillar·Golden Spring Rat]

They all have bad fate.

Seeing Xiao Ran's disappointed look, Sister Liu explained, "You don't have to be so disappointed. The quality of a life evil is not determined by just one of the four pillars: year, month, day, and hour. At least four life evils must be combined to form a true pattern."

After saying that, Sister Liu took out the gift she had prepared and handed it to Xiao Ran with a smile.

"This is the gift I promised to give you. You will know if you study it carefully."

Xiao Ran took it and took a look. It was a book titled "Fate Chart".

After taking a look, I found that it was filled with densely written lists of the combinations and arrangements of various life evil spirits, as well as the unique patterns of each life evil spirit.

Looking at the delicate traditional Chinese characters on the book, Xiao Ran knew that this book was written by Sister Liu herself, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

"Thank you, Sister Liu. This thing is so important to me."

Although he has advanced to the rank of robber, he is still completely clueless regarding matters of fate.

Now that he had this fate chart, it was of great help to him. It was like a guiding light. Looking at the ink on it, it was obvious that it had been prepared for a long time, just to wait until he completed the advancement and give it to himself as a gift. How could Xiao Ran not be moved? "As long as you like it, I won't bother you. Just think about it yourself."

At present, Xiao Ran has completed the promotion, but there are many things that he needs to figure out on his own, so after Sister Liu gave him this gift, she left the basement and left the space to Xiao Ran.

After Sister Liu left, Xiao Ran walked to Shanlong again and tried again to see if he could draw a new fate from Shanlong's body.

But this time, the silver thread in his hand could not penetrate the mountain dragon's body.

At the same time, Xiao Ran also received the prompt sound "Corpse has been touched".

"It seems I can only touch each body once."

Xiao Ran looked at Shanlong helplessly, then picked up the [Evil-Suppressing Order] and reactivated it.

The effect of [Evil-Suppression Order] has not changed much.

The three privileges remain the same: underworld messenger, karma-stealing, and soul-devouring transformation.

There is not much change in nature.

But next, all he had to do was sew up all the corpses in his hands and create a C-level corpse slave with a rating above S-level.

[Evil-Suppressing Order] is almost ready to be upgraded to a C-class cursed item, and by then it should have new abilities together with [Smuggler].

But before that, what needs to be done must be done, especially in Shanlong’s memory, the recent situation of Changchun Association is what Xiao Ran wants to know.

"Seize the business!!"

As the inscriptions on the [Evil-Suppressing Order] flashed, the mountain dragon's memory book, skill book, and a profession scroll slowly emerged from his body.

Xiao Ran picked it up and saw that it was a D-level professional scroll [Hundred Plays]

"Not bad!"

After putting the scroll away, Xiao Ran picked up Shanlong's skill book and flipped through it.

This guy seems to be from a circus, and five of his skills have reached extraordinary levels.

Flying knives, bone shrinking, colorful performances, martial arts, and ventriloquism.

"What a pity. You should have already touched the threshold of C-level. If you are given more time and you are promoted to C-level acrobatic master, it will not be so easy to deal with you."

These skills are all extraordinary and are of great help to me, especially ventriloquism, color play, and flying knives are all very practical things.

However, each exchange requires tens of thousands of energy points, which is not cost-effective for [Evil-Suppression Order] which is about to sprint to the C-level cursed item.

Putting away the skill book temporarily, Xiao Ran began to look through the contents of Shanlong's memory book.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Xiao Ran knew that although the Changchun Guild had collapsed, it would not disband. Losing the Changchun Guild Hall would be a serious blow but not fatal.

But after reading Shanlong's entire memory, Xiao Ran realized that he had thought too simply about Changchun.

In addition to the [Fifth Hospital] industry, they actually opened up three more industrial zones during this period of time.

The redwood garden in the east, the dead mine area in the west, and the bitter town in the south.

These industrial zones are similar to the original No. 7 Middle School. Each of these industrial zones is equipped with a [recycling furnace] to form a unique recycling area.

The Redwood Garden uses resentment to produce all kinds of strange fruits, which are used by the Changchun Society to make medicine or as auxiliary materials. For example, the almighty potion that Zishu gave them before was a new product synthesized by combining the specialties of the Redwood Garden and the Fifth Hospital.

The Dead Mine Area is actually a small-scale Donglongfang. According to Shanlong's memory, the Dead Mine Area can produce three D-level cursed items, fifteen E-level cursed items, and randomly obtain one D-level cursed item every month.

This number is not a small number, and the effects of these cursed objects are quite good. The [Mirror of Bewitching God] of the Mountain Dragon was produced in the Dead Mine Area.

This shows how rich this place is.

Shanlong was not clear about the situation in the last Ku Town. It was said that it was a place that only the leader of the association could enter after breaking the ban. It was a core secret of the Changchun Association. Shanlong had only heard of it but had no idea where it was.

In addition to the four industries, the Fu Sheng Money House on Guling Street is also one of the industries of Changchun Association, which can bring extremely considerable profits to Changchun Association every month.

So the Changchun Society, which seemed to have been defeated, was not seriously injured at all. No wonder Shanlong was so sure that the Changchun Society could make a comeback.

"It's really troublesome!"

Xiao Ran frowned. The Changchun Society was like a centipede that was dying but still alive. Now they were targeting his Amazing Pavilion, which inevitably made him feel pressured.

But Xiao Ran didn’t know what means Changchun would use to deal with him.

Xiao Ran continued to flip through the pages and saw a lot of information through Shanlong's memory, but once it came to some core information about the Changchun Society, the content of the book became a mosaic.

Xiao Ran reluctantly turned the page, only to find that there were indeed a lot of mosaics and a lot of information was completely disrupted, preventing Xiao Ran from viewing.

This kind of situation had never occurred in Beast Master’s memory book before.

Now it has appeared in Shanlong's memory book. I'm afraid that the Changchun Society is using some kind of privilege to prevent others from stealing the confidential information of the Changchun Society from the bodies of its members.

Xiao Ran reluctantly used the Eye of Retrospection, wanting to try to harness the power of retrospection, but the result was not ideal, only a part of the messy mosaic disappeared.

He held Shanlong's memory book in his hands, looking left and right, his eyes passed through the disordered mosaics between the lines, and finally saw only one line of words: "Building a Jingguan in Kuzhen, hearing ghosts crying like wheat waves..."
