Headless Immortal

Chapter 41 Hunting
A general store.

Lu Xun, having retrieved the head of the Five-Tong Mountain Lord, spoke:
"use!"

Using gifts from employers

[Spell: Water Play] → [Spell: Water Play (Enter the Inner Chamber)]

Wu Tong Lu Xun glanced at the mineral water bottle beside him. With just one glance, the water inside the bottle changed according to his wishes, suspending the bottle in mid-air, and then slowly falling under his control.

"What a wonderful spell!"

Feeling that his magical power was being significantly depleted, he stopped using spells arbitrarily.

Modern times are nothing like that strange ancient world.

The ancient world was filled with abundant spiritual energy, like a vast ocean, and he was a small fish swimming in it.

The spiritual energy of the modern world is as thin as a cracked riverbed, and the parched earth resembles a land ravaged by an indescribable drought. Raising fish is out of the question; even raising loaches is a struggle.

To recover the lost magical power in the modern world, I don't know how much moonlight I would need to absorb.

"Head transplant".

After switching back to the white-faced burly man's head, Lu Xun went inside, unplugged the universal charger, put the battery back into the PHS phone, turned it on to display the date and time, and found the notebook containing the phone numbers.

Turn the page to the broker's number.

I was planning to dial directly, but after thinking about it, I went to the service center and bought an anonymous number.

Remove the SIM card and install this blank number before making the call.

The call was disconnected for the first time.

The call was disconnected for the second time.

The third time, no one answered for a long time.

Lu Xun wasn't annoyed; he put down his phone and waited quietly.

half an hour.

An unfamiliar number suddenly called.

Lu Xun answered the phone and spoke first: "I heard you have some good Hong Kong cigarettes here."

Only then did the other end speak, a deep, unintelligible voice coming from the phone: "What kind of business do you want to do?"

"Find someone."

"Huacheng, Liu Chengbiao."

"Find someone to transfer two thousand to this account..."

The voice on the other end read out a series of bank account numbers: "The money has been deposited. Someone will call you in two days to tell you the details."

Lu Xun said calmly, "Urgent!"

"Six thousand, that very night."

"Beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xun squinted and calculated his assets. The last deal he did only brought in two thousand, and he even lost his life because of it. This broker's starting price for information was two thousand. Compared to that, all the hard work he did before was hard-earned money. It was definitely faster and more flexible to work behind the scenes.

……

Department stores and supermarkets.

The pale-faced, burly man asked the sales clerk, "How much is silver?"

"Sir, the price of silver today is 3.283 per gram."

"Take it?"

"receive."

Lu Xun took out 350 grams of silver barley that he had brought from the ancient world.

"1149.05, so I'll give you 1149.1."

The staff member at the counter, wearing white gloves and weighing the silver, said with a smile.

Lu Xun took the large bill and frowned. The price of silver was too low. Even if he could get three catties of silver every time, it would only amount to five thousand in total. He glanced at the glittering gold and asked, "How much is the price of gold?"

"Gold price 150/gram, sir."

Lu Xun did the math and figured that he could make 225,000 yuan if he sold 1500 grams of gold.

If it were other, more valuable jewelry, the price would certainly be higher than the average.

At least the money has a solution.

With a heavy heart, I went to the bank and combined the 1,200 yuan I had just sold with the 2,000 yuan I had transferred to that unfamiliar account.

Lu Xun turned and waited at the general store.

I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect to get a phone call that evening.

"Given that you are a new customer and that we may build a deep friendship in the future, we have decided to let you experience VIP service in advance."

"Liu Chengbiao..."

After saying that, the person on the other end added, "Sir, you can provide the fax number next time."

beep.

The call ended with a long tone.

Lu Xun then picked up the paper with the address written on it.

Chongyang District.

No. 130 Feixiang Street…

……

The modern moon, shrouded in light pollution, seemed to be veiled. Lu Xun, leaning against the corner of the last row of the bus, looked at the myriad lights outside and pulled his wide felt hat up.

After three stops, he got off the bus, glanced at the bus stop sign to confirm his location. He didn't come here often and wasn't familiar with the layout of the buildings, but fortunately, he was still following the order.

Xiangyue Park was brightly lit.

Elderly men and women in their fifties and sixties swayed to the music, which sounded like cheerful melodies coming from a suitcase speaker. Most of the surrounding villas had been emptied out, as no one could stand the deafening noise every night. A few buildings had been converted into sanatoriums and clinics, with twinkling colored lights hanging from them.

The children's balloon playground took up a lot of space, and young parents who came downstairs for a stroll watched their children play.

Younger men and women strolled in pairs, either sitting on the marble steps or venturing into the deeper woods.

Lu found a dark spot to sit down, took out the prepared black bread and mineral water from his pocket, and began to eat heartily.

He ate carefully, his mouth was big but not a single crumb fell out. He ate a large piece of solid wheat rye bread clean, even gathering the crumbs left in the bag and pouring them into his mouth.

Tons tons tons.

After finishing the entire bottle of mineral water, I stood up, shook it, and let out a rather uncomfortable burp.

Lu Xun looked at the clock tower under the lights. There was still half an hour until midnight. He then lay down and dozed off for a while.

night,
blacken.

The hazy moon is hidden in the shadows of the clouds.

The pale-faced, burly man stood up straight.

They quickly slipped into a small alley and followed the address to the destination.

……

third floor.

The footsteps stopped.

The people inside paused, glancing over.

"what happened?"

The beautiful woman, with her arms crossed, seemed somewhat puzzled by the man's unusual behavior.

The man yanked the beautiful woman away, then pulled the blanket over her, lowering his voice and saying solemnly, "Don't make a sound, and don't come out no matter what you hear..."

He pulled out a short firearm from under his pillow, kicked off his slippers, put on an outer robe, and went out the door.

There was silence.

The man pressed himself against the wall, peering through the peephole, his torso remaining motionless.

The outside was completely empty.

"Did I hear wrong?" The man was somewhat surprised, but in the instant he turned around, he saw something flashing in the kitchen. Without the slightest hesitation, he straightened the short flame and pointed it at the dark figure.

He said coldly, "Brother, you're trying to steal from me, Liu Chengbiao. Didn't your boss tell you who I am?"

"Walk out slowly!"

Sure enough, the shadowy figure in the kitchen stepped into the light.

The newcomer was a pale-faced, burly man with short hair and beard, a square nose and a wide mouth, thick, slanted eyebrows, and a pair of hawk-like, sharp eyes. The door frame looked tiny in comparison, and it was truly a mystery how someone of his stature could have entered from the outside.

Even if this place is not very good, it is still the third floor, and the small window is only big enough for a small child to pass through.

The moment Liu Chengbiao saw the burly man's figure and face, his heart skipped a beat.

This person doesn't look like a thief.

Liu Chengbiao loosened his grip slightly. No matter what kind of dragon crossing the river or tiger descending the mountain this was, they could only be as obedient as lambs in front of Duan Huo: "I ask, you answer."

"really."

The burly man murmured as if resigned to his fate.

Liu Chengbiao felt much relieved.

However, his eyes widened immediately as he saw a rough, large hand pressed against his face, its sharp nails digging into his flesh.

He desperately wanted to pull the trigger, but the gun was snatched away by the other side.

So fast!

What will happen?

How?
Before he could even marvel at the newcomer's power, his dilated pupils shrank to pinpoints.

What comes into view is a pair of gilded beast eyes.

hiss!
With silver-gray fur, a bronze-red ghost face, golden eyes and blue teeth, his long, strong arms lifted him into the air like a chick.

monster? !

Liu Chengbiao froze completely. He even thought he was in a dream world, and the coldness of death had embraced him tightly.

Despair seeps into my bones, draining my lifeblood.

Unexpectedly, the giant monster dressed in human clothes transformed back into the pale-faced giant from before.

The big man slowly put him down, and weighed the short, black fire star in his right hand.

It hit him squarely on the forehead.

Click.

The insurance has been opened.

"I ask, you answer!"

The cold, hard metal object on his forehead sent a chill down Liu Chengbiao's spine. He didn't dare to move, his teeth chattering, and he said tremblingly, "I will tell you everything I know."

"Big brother, big brother... be careful of accidental discharge."
