Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

The cowherd kept his head down and didn't see the changes in Chen Yuxi.

Her figure became more curvaceous, and her face began to resemble that of a Western beauty.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yuxi is dead. What has taken over Chen Yuxi's soul and body is those eyes.

"Raise your head."

Medusa's cool voice rang out.

The Cowherd chuckled twice:

"I wouldn't dare."

Medusa's voice carried a hint of anger:

"Do you also revere God?"

The cowherd kept his head down.

You can't look up.

Even if what we're facing now isn't the real Medusa, it's not far off.

A mortal body, a mortal soul, yet possessing Medusa's memories and power.

The Cowherd said:

"I naturally despise gods."

Medusa's tone softened slightly:

"Cowherd, I've heard of you."

A madman who seduced the daughter of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

Resentment and shame immediately flashed in the cowherd's eyes.

It seems that the daughter of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor is the most unforgettable humiliation of his life.

Medusa continued:

"I once respected you as a man who dared to defy the rules of heaven and fight against injustice."

But you.......

Medusa paused, her tone sharp:

Why should we serve those high and mighty gods?

When exactly did you become Satan's lackey?

The stench of hell emanating from you makes me want to vomit!

After Medusa finished speaking, she continued to say to herself:

"Oh, I remember now."

That celestial maiden you cast into the underworld.

"You've come to hell to find that celestial maiden?"

The Cowherd said in a deep voice:

"This matter is not something to be told to outsiders!"

Medusa said:

"You've cast a spell on this body."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

A slow, excited smile crept onto the Cowherd's lips:

"I don't need you to do anything difficult."

All you need to do is slightly open your spiritual apertures and let the power of divine punishment appear.

In this way, the people in the next room will naturally turn to stone.

This is not petrification in the ordinary sense; it is petrification resulting from divine punishment.

As long as the eleven people in the next room are petrified by divine punishment, the forbidden object in their hands will be the lost forbidden object.

From this point on, twilight will be cursed.

Medusa's face showed displeasure:

"Those gods, for the sake of their own face, punish anyone who looks into my eyes or falls in love with me."

They are too domineering.

Even if 'Chen Yuxi' wasn't me before, those who now have feelings for Chen Yuxi will suffer divine punishment.

Chen Yuxi's body had been subjected to many spells by the Cowherd. After Medusa took control of Chen Yuxi's body, she was automatically bound by the Cowherd's spells.

She had to obey almost every command from the Cowherd.

.......

Half an hour ago, in the South China Sea, at the Zero Antique Shop.

At the dining table, Jiang Chaosheng picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, while holding a newspaper in his other hand, reading it intently.

Helian scratched her head in front of him, looking as if she were sitting on a nail.

He looked at Jiang Chaosheng for a while before saying:

"Master, apart from the buyer of the Five Immortals Candle, all the buyers of other forbidden items have come to the South China Sea."

I feel like something's definitely not right here!

Jiang Chaosheng didn't even lift his eyelids:

"Besides the buyers, the male prostitutes must be there too."

Helian was stunned:

"Wow, is the Cowherd here too?"

He looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy:

"Where?"

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"I don't know either. He'll come looking for me when he's ready."

Helian became more and more confused as she listened.

What does it mean to be ready to come find you?

Is it too late?

Helian pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something:

"Are they trying to exploit the buyers?"

The scavenger system is the manager's most loyal henchman.

The leaders of the scavengers, such as Yang Xiao and He Lian, were aware of the relationships between some of the managers and buyers.

Jiang Chaosheng nodded:

"Yes."

Helena frowned:

"If he kills the buyers, isn't he afraid of suffering a karmic curse?"

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"Therefore, he would think of a way to avoid suffering the curse of cause and effect."

Jiang Chaosheng paused:

"Or... to suffer less of the curse."

These days, Jiang Chaosheng has come to understand the meaning of the phrase "Mirror of Knowledge":

I should have killed that woman sooner.

The mirror of knowledge did not lie, but it kept deceiving itself.

Jiang Chaosheng always thought that the woman he should have killed "sooner" was either Daji or the Goddess of Taiping Dao.

The mirror of knowledge has been misleading me.

Focus all your attention on the Goddess of Light.

The one I should really kill is Chen Yuxi, the woman with the Medusa Eye.

Logically speaking, that woman's lifespan should have ended.

I don't know what happened to her that caused her lifespan to increase.

Perhaps it was the Goddess of Light or the Cowherd who intervened.

As for why it was Chen Yuxi...

Chen Yuxi does not have the means to kill all the buyers.

Because the Eye of Medusa cannot kill directly, only those who truly love Chen Yuxi can turn into stone.

True love, where is it so easy to find?

But... if it's the Eye of Medusa that's revived, then that would be fine.

Because the petrifying ability of the Eye of Medusa is Athena's curse, a passive form of divine punishment.

Its curse power comes from Athena.

Its curse power comes from Athena.

In other words, this is equivalent to Athena killing all the buyers.

Most of the karmic curses will be borne by Athena.

The remaining small portion will be borne by Medusa and the Cowherd.

For the male prostitute, this already minimizes the harm.

(actually......

Jiang Chaosheng was also very interested in goddesses like Athena.

He really wanted to know where all those gods had gone, and whether they were still on Earth.

If Athena were afflicted by the causal curse of Antique Shop Zero, perhaps she would be able to detect some clues.

This is a very bold guess.

However, it happens to be the most realistic.

The most crucial aspect is how to revive the Eye of Medusa and manifest the divine power within it.

Jiang Chaosheng speculated that the forbidden power of the Cowherd in Forbidden Item 1-01 was to revive the forbidden item.

The first manager, Fan Xiliang, regarded Niulang as a brother in arms.

Perhaps fearing repercussions from the person in charge behind the scenes, they tore up all the records related to the male escort.

but......

Think about all these years.

The Way of Peace possesses the means to revive forbidden things.

Whether it's the Spear of Longinus in the 24th Middle School, the Blasphemous Bell in Chimelong Shopping Mall, or the Deceitful Left Eye in Dream Island, etc.

These forbidden things are all revived in a manipulative and purposeful manner.

Jiang Chaosheng used to think that this was some kind of profound magic of the Cowherd.

But now that I taste it...

What kind of profound magic is needed to control forbidden objects?

Helian asked repeatedly:

"Then, should we do something?"

What if the forbidden items belonging to the twelve buyers all fall into the hands of the Cowherd...?

Wouldn't that be a terrible situation?

Jiang Chaosheng remained silent for a while:

"Don't you think twelve forbidden items scattered around are far too many?"

Helian was stunned:

"Wh-what?"

Slowly, a smile appeared on Helian's lips:

"It turns out that the master wanted to use the cowherd to take back the forbidden item from the buyer."

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"It's also possible that through causal curses, they could probe the position of God."

Helena pondered for a moment:

"Wasn't that too dangerous?"

Jiang Chaosheng said leisurely:

"They went to so much trouble to organize this event, how could I not cooperate?"

Jiang Chaosheng's opponents are the Cowherd, Hell, and possibly other gods.

Without the determination to go all out, you're bound to lose to them.

Furthermore, I had made a wish at the wishing stone.

I will not die in this crisis, no matter what.

Helian pondered for a moment and said:

"Master, will the buyers' deaths affect you?"

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:

"As long as I didn't kill them, it won't have any impact."

But they were customers of Zero Antique Shop after all, and I couldn't just watch them die in the South China Sea.

Jiang Chaosheng thought to himself:

Furthermore... if they really die, the curse on me will erupt sooner or later.

Jiang Chaosheng wiped his mouth, stood up, and said:

"That's about it."

His unease grew stronger and stronger.

This indicates that forbidden things are transitioning into a state of being lost.
