Chapter 558 Looting the Corpse and Picking Up the Leaks: A Difficult Decision
"boom--"

Gao Dongxu was slightly surprised to see the eagle, which he had kicked away and was tumbling in the air, flapping its wings wildly and actually regaining its balance before swooping down on him again.

It's a physical entity!
A sharp glint flashed in Gao Dongxu's eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the Vajra Dagger appeared in his hand. He activated the Vajra Dagger with spiritual energy, channeled his inner energy into his feet, and took a step forward. He pounced on the eagle that had extended its sharp claws towards him, just like an eagle spreading its wings. Suddenly, his right hand stretched forward swiftly, and the Vajra Dagger, emitting a yellow light, pierced through the eagle's claws and stabbed into its abdomen.

"Wow—"

A mournful cry from an eagle.

"boom--"

The eagle, pierced by the Vajra Peg, scattered like a shattered water balloon, disappearing right before Gao Dongxu's and Laura's wide-eyed, incredulous eyes.

Meanwhile, Laura's ex-boyfriend, who was in the foundation's office discussing with Laura's adoptive mother and several others how to take Laura's adopted son away, suddenly coughed up blood without warning. His face turned deathly pale, and after letting out a shrill scream with a ferocious expression, he fainted.

"Backlash!"

"Call an ambulance immediately!" Laura's foster mother shouted, her expression changing drastically.

. . . . .

"My God... Darling, were you just using Chinese Kung Fu?! Chinese witchcraft?!"

As the eagle disappeared, Laura's eyes widened in utter shock. She clung tightly to Gao Dongxu, her voice trembling with adoration as she asked him a question.

"It's all—" Gao Dongxu smiled and put away the Vajra Knife. He had no interest in explaining to Laura whether it was kung fu or witchcraft; as long as she knew how powerful she was, that was enough.

"OMG—" Laura's pretty face flushed red. She was still extremely excited. As a scientist, she had been exposed to supernatural forces from the mystical side during this period, which had undoubtedly completely overturned her scientific worldview that she had built up since childhood.

"Clang-crack-"

Just then, a sound came from upstairs. Gao Dongxu immediately shielded Laura, who had suddenly changed color and was tightly grabbing his clothes, behind him and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A burly Mongolian man, covered in blood and looking as if he had just fought a wild beast, staggered down the stairs, gripping the handrail. Upon seeing Laura, he immediately began repeating three sentences in French.

"I killed animals—"

"Stop the Spirit Stone Conference—"

"Protectors of the Chosen Ones—"

Laura stared in horror at the disheveled, dirty, blood-covered Asian man who was staring intently at her, repeating three French phrases over and over. Her delicate body trembled slightly as she hid behind Gao Dongxu.

"boom--"

Gao Dongxu frowned slightly, looking at the Mongolian who had just come down the stairs and collapsed to the ground, speechless.

That's it!

Is this all the guardians of the chosen ones are capable of?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. Come on, let's go upstairs and take a look—" Gao Dongxu hugged Laura's trembling, voluptuous body tightly, gently comforting the pale-faced beauty. They bypassed the unconscious Mongolian man and went upstairs.

The entire second floor was littered with signs of a struggle, broken items, and blood.

"what--"

Suddenly, Laura opened her mouth wide and screamed in terror.

Gao Dongxu was startled by the scream, his eardrums vibrated slightly, and he looked in the direction where Laura stared wide-eyed in terror.

An elderly white European man lay on the floor with his eyes wide open, his heart pierced by a dagger with a deer antler handle, and a large pool of blood beneath him. He died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.

Gao Dongxu put his arm around Laura, gently stroked her back, and said softly, "Call the police immediately."

"Huh? Oh. Okay, I'll call the police right away—" Laura's face was pale, her hands trembling as she took out her phone and walked to the side to make a call to the police.

Gao Dongxu walked to the scholar's corpse, avoided the blood on the ground, bent down and reached out to pull out the crystal witch knife stuck in the scholar's heart.

Looking at the shamanic crystal witch knife in his hand, Gao Dongxu's eyes brightened. Feeling the rich and solid spiritual energy within, he knew it was a truly good thing.

With a flick of his wrist, the crystal witch knife vanished. Gao Dongxu examined the scholar's corpse's neck and hands but found no spirit stones. He immediately walked to the stairwell, went downstairs to the Mongol's side, forcefully turned him over so that he was face up, and began to search through his dirty robes.

Sure enough, they soon found two stone pendants tied with long ropes. Gao Dongxu looked at the designs on the pendants; one was a wolf's head, and the other was a coiled snake.

Moreover, the two pendant stone carvings appear to fit together perfectly.

Holding the two spirit stone totems, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. The totem guardian spirit was fixed, rather than being randomly generated based on the strength and characteristics of an individual's soul.

It seems I was being too optimistic.

The snake totem must belong to the private doctor, so the wolf totem must belong to the scholar upstairs. No wonder this Mongolian looks like he's fought with wild beasts.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

Just as Gao Dongxu was putting away the two spirit stones, Laura came down from the second-floor stairwell, blinked her beautiful eyes at Gao Dongxu, and asked.

"Check if he has any identification." Gao Dongxu said, pulling out a passport he had found earlier. "He's Mongolian—"

“Well, the police will be here soon. Why don’t you leave first? When the police arrive, you’ll inevitably be taken to the police station to make a statement, and who knows how long that will take. It will be troublesome if you’re there.” Laura walked downstairs and took Gao Dongxu’s arm for the first time, speaking softly.

"Alright—" Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded as he looked at Laura's beautiful face.

Gao Dongxu had absolutely no goodwill towards the French. The French arrogance and discrimination against China had a long history. Although France surrendered faster than anyone else and relied on women to survive under the German iron heel, this only made them more proud, using it to cover up their past shame.

To put it bluntly, the less they have, the more they want to boast about it—one is France, the other is South Korea.

Gao Dongxu and Laura walked out of the villa. Gao Dongxu got into the car, and Leng Feng drove away.

Inside the car, Gao Dongxu took out the two spirit stones and examined them carefully in his hand.

Back then, Laura's parents and adoptive mother, under the guise of scientific research, ventured deep into the forbidden territory of Mongolian shamanism, discovered supernatural powers, and stole the totem spirit stone. After a disagreement arose, they killed Laura's parents. The remaining people then used the altar to perform a ritual, granting them supernatural powers and their own totem guardian spirits.

According to Gao Dongxu's understanding, shamanism has twelve guardian spirits: the deer symbolizing strength and speed, the bear symbolizing strength and courage, the eagle symbolizing wisdom and insight, the wolf symbolizing unity and bravery, the fox symbolizing wit and agility, the snake symbolizing wisdom and healing, the tiger symbolizing bravery and strength, the leopard symbolizing agility and flexibility, the wolverine symbolizing resilience and endurance, the crane symbolizing longevity and wisdom, the raven symbolizing foresight, and the dog symbolizing loyalty and protection.

Gao Dongxu now possesses two totem spirit stones, a wolf and a snake, both excellent guardian spirits. However, thinking of the eagle he had destroyed and the bear that had yet to appear, Gao Dongxu hesitated and immediately used his spiritual energy to examine the totem spirit stones in his hand.

What he fears most is that once the totem stone is activated, the guardian spirit will bind to his soul, and then he must be very careful.

If he had to choose a guardian spirit, he would still prefer the eagle. Although the wolf and bear are also good, the snake, which represents healing, doesn't really suit him.

Suppressing the urge to channel spiritual energy into the totem spirit stone, Gao Dongxu put the spirit stone away, then closed his eyes and began to plan his next move.

To wipe out Laura's foster mother and her gang in one fell swoop, they must use Laura's foster son as bait.

It's likely that Laura's foster mother will soon take action, kidnap the little boy, and take him to Mongolia.

According to his speculation, Laura's adoptive mother and her group still wanted to use the altar in the forbidden shamanic area to hold a so-called "Spirit Stone Conference" and use Laura's adopted son, the chosen one, as a sacrifice to obtain so-called immortality.

Therefore, the truly powerful and mysterious aspect of shamanism lies in the altar within the forbidden area.

Gao Dongxu hesitated again, wondering whether he should ask Laura's foster mother and the others to lead him to the altar and find out what was going on.

Just as he was struggling with his decision, his phone rang, which startled him. This phone was a new one he had bought after arriving in Paris, and only two people knew about it: Laura and the naive and innocent female PhD student Coco.

He took out his phone and saw that it was indeed the naive and innocent female PhD student. He frowned slightly and answered the call.

"Hello, Coco, is there any important news?"

"Hello, Mr. Jia, I have two things to report to you. Just recently, some colleagues from the National Cultural Relics Protection Bureau came to see me, hoping I could help them retrieve the rabbit head that has been temporarily detained from the police..."

"Did the people from the Cultural Heritage Bureau tell you JC's true identity?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly. Fang Zhen and his team had finally started to take action. They had already set off for Paris a long time ago. Were they just starting to act now because they were stupid enough to contact the French Cultural Heritage Bureau, trying to intercept the rabbit head through official channels?

No way? !

Well, to be honest, they might actually do that, just because they're worried that taking drastic actions could cause diplomatic disputes or something.

"No, they told me they received a call from my teacher, Professor Guan, informing them that Shangguan Martin was going to donate the rabbit head on behalf of the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron Association, so they rushed to Paris to receive the rabbit head directly."

Coco's voice, filled with embarrassment and anger, came through the phone, her teeth clenched.

"Haha, okay, you haven't mentioned me to them, have you?" Gao Dongxu laughed.

"Of course not. You're from a secret department; even if you told them, they wouldn't know..."

Gao Dongxu chuckled. Sure enough, naive and innocent girls are the easiest to fool. He said softly, "What about the other thing?"

"Another thing is that I overheard a phone call from JC. Apparently, the rat and chicken heads they had were stolen, and they said the losses were very heavy. Mr. Jia, is that you...?"

“That’s right. Right after you helped us locate them, we took action in the early hours of the next day, raided the police’s hideout, and took the Rat Head and Chicken Head. We didn’t tell you because we were worried that you might accidentally give us away if you knew the news,” Gao Dongxu explained with a smile.

"Great! You guys are really amazing. You thought of everything. You really shouldn't have told me, or I might have burst out laughing. Haha..."

Hearing the cheerful laughter on the phone, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but chuckle. This naive girl wasn't hopelessly stupid; at least she had some self-awareness.

“By the way, Coco, we’ve received word that MP Group has reached its limit with your protests and is preparing to take drastic measures against you. You should know that in Paris, it’s not difficult to make a few people disappear. So, for the time being, you’d better tell your brother and the others not to go to MP Group to protest anymore, and it would be best to go into hiding,” Gao Dongxu reminded him.
