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

South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.

Jiang Chaosheng was reading today's newspaper.

Yesterday, the "Nanhai Key Investment Plan" revealed that 32 major projects have been planned for the city.

The Century Harbour Shopping Mall project will be restarted with renewed funding...

Happy House Playground will reopen after undergoing a safety inspection.......

The unfinished Hongyun Villa project is being auctioned off by the municipal urban renewal bureau, which has promised to remove all legal issues related to the project, ensuring investors have no worries.

【……】

Jiang Chaosheng read through all the news, his mind wandering.

The Centennial Harbor Shopping Mall Complex was once a key project in Nanhai City.

The project was already quite large, and the eight shopping malls were expected to be completed in six months at most.

Some developers seized the opportunity to build apartments near shopping malls, hoping to make a fortune after the malls were completed.

Unfortunately, due to the unusual events caused by the Five Emperors Poison Money incident a few years ago, this project has been shelved ever since.

Those eight unfinished shopping malls now look like eight enormous ghost palaces.

As a result, the sales of Centennial Harbor Apartments were extremely poor, and the owners who bought Centennial Harbor Apartments have now lost everything.

The same applies to Happy House Amusement Park, which has been closed for three years due to a serious safety incident.

As for Hongyun Villa, the previous owner built half of it and moved in; now it's a gathering place for homeless people.

The investment plan in the South China Sea seems to have made use of all the large, empty, and habitable places.

Jiang Chaosheng sensed a hint of conspiracy in these projects.

The South China Sea authorities have just concluded the Onmyoji incident, and immediately afterward, they launched a major operation, which is quite intriguing.

Jiang Chaosheng continued reading, and the investment projects at the very bottom brought a smile to his face.

[Anxiang Street will be transformed into a street with a Republican-era style, while preserving its historical buildings. Xia Li of World Dream Group stated...]

The Bureau of Abnormalities believes it is in the South China Sea, but does not know its exact location.

However, since he has a team of superhumans under his command, they are very likely not to live in the downtown area, so he uses money to eliminate possibilities.

First, level all abandoned buildings that might harbor a supernatural force.

"The Bureau of Anomalies has made a move?"

The new head of the investigation team is a ruthless and decisive individual.

Jiang Chaosheng made an initial assessment of the anomaly investigation team that was about to arrive.

Investing a large sum of money just to exclude abandoned buildings with a very low probability of being abandoned would likely be a huge loss for the authorities.

However, by sheer luck, it actually hit Jiang Chaosheng.

Zero Antique Shop is located on Anxiang Street.

As for why we suspect that all of this was the work of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs?

Because if Anxiang Street is to be developed into a street with a Republican-era style and to carry out investment promotion activities, Xia Li will definitely need to be met first.

After all, the street is nominally owned by the World Dream Group.

The fact that Xia Li hadn't told her beforehand meant that the other party acted swiftly, finalizing the plan in a very short time and starting the business recruitment process the very next day.

Jiang Chaosheng smiled and didn't take it seriously.

He looked down on the newly arrived abnormal investigation team.

The Forbidden Society has already grown to a considerable size, so even if the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs expands its operations, it will only be a very interesting show.

"Master, Shirley asked me to tell you a message."

Jin Meiting hurriedly entered through the door.

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at her:

"Is Anxiang Street going to be transformed into a street with a Republican-era theme?"

Jin Meiting nodded, calmed her breathing, and continued:

"besides....."

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"She's being monitored."

Jin Meiting was stunned for a moment:

How did you know?

Xia Li's exact words were that the people in charge of the city's reforms have been constantly dragging her into large meetings lately, and they keep holding them.

She originally wanted to come and tell Jiang Chaosheng this information in person, but she was always held back by the people from the city's reform and couldn't find the time.

Jiang Chaosheng waved the newspaper in his hand:

"That's what the newspaper said."

It's understandable that Xia Li was subtly controlled.

If someone were to examine the South China Sea closely, they would find that there were not just two unusual incidents, but three.

The gavel incident is one, the Onmyoji incident is another, and the last one is Shirley.

Xia Li clearly suffers from ALS and congenital heart disease, yet she recovers completely overnight and regains control of the world dream. It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

That's why Anxiang Street became a key project in this "South China Sea Project Plan".

Of course, this only aroused the suspicion of the new South China Sea investigation team; otherwise, Xia Li would have been taken away by the Anomaly Management Bureau long ago.

Jin Meiting was stunned for a moment.

She had read the newspaper, but it didn't mention it!

Jin Meiting continued:

"Oh, right, Mingyue also sent me a message."

She says she wants to see you and make a deal with you.

To show her sincerity, she was willing to tell us some information.

The Bureau of Abnormal Affairs has already...

Jiang Chaosheng interrupted her before she could finish speaking:

"The Anomaly Management Bureau sent a madman to deal with me, right?"

Jin Meiting was stunned again:

"How could you...."

Jiang Chaosheng tapped the newspaper with his finger:

"That's what the newspaper said."

Jin Meiting frowned and stared intently at the newspaper on the table.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"The information she intended to use to express her sincerity is of little importance to me."

However, she is willing to make a deal, but she needs to think about one thing carefully.

"If she doesn't offer me the price I want, she'll die."

Jin Meiting nodded emphatically:

"Okay, I'll go talk to her."

Jiang Chaosheng didn't take these matters to heart.

The most important thing right now is to get the Taboo Society up and running to reclaim the lost taboo items.

"There is a forbidden item in Lotus City."

Jiang Chaosheng murmured:

"Lotus City, isn't this the place where Yang Xiao used to live?"

"Let Yang Xiao retrieve this forbidden item first, and check the capabilities of the Cleaner organization."

Suddenly, Jiang Chaosheng frowned.

He closed his eyes and focused intently on sensing the forbidden objects of Lotus City.

After a while, he opened his eyes, his gaze full of suspicion:

"How...did it suddenly disappear?"

Jiang Chaosheng suddenly sensed something else and frowned.

A forbidden object from the Xia Kingdom has resurfaced, right here in Liancheng!

It seems that what is forbidden to oneself has been eaten by a wild, forbidden creature.

Jiang Chaosheng moved his wrist.

The little black figure was thrown out.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"Take people to Liancheng... um... a sea area."

The shadowy figure bowed and spoke in an ethereal voice:

"I am willing to serve you, my master."

......

One day ago, in Liancheng, at the Caruso Theatre.

A thin young man with thick black-rimmed glasses, who looked timid and easy to bully, stood at the entrance of the training hall.

"It's awful! The changes you made are awful! You can't change my script anymore!"

The young man, clutching his script, faced the dark door, taking deep breaths to encourage himself.

"Yes, that's right, it sounds very powerful!"

The young man's eyes hardened, and he pushed open the door and entered the training hall.

The male and female leads practiced their movements and lines on stage.

They were poised and confident, and their voices were full of energy as they recited their lines.

A hint of panic appeared in the young man's eyes.

The momentum I had just prepared has weakened somewhat.

The actress glanced at the young man, arms crossed, sitting on the table:

"Oh, Zhongshu's here. Have you finished revising the script I asked you to?"

The male actor glanced at him sideways, with disdain.

The young man's spirit completely collapsed, and he even bent over a little:

"No, not yet, I'm sorry..."

The actress said impatiently:

"You're so slow and indecisive, you're the worst screenwriter I've ever seen."
