Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

This painkiller truly freed him from this suffering.

"This stuff can only relieve pain, it can't cure diseases. It just blocks the pain. Don't let your guard down just because it doesn't hurt anymore."

Mu En remembered what Huo Yuhao said, so of course he wouldn't relax easily. Even if it could only relieve the pain, he would be grateful if his body didn't hurt.

He was full of energy and even seemed to be suppressing his violent aura; his back, which had been bent for half his life, seemed to straighten a bit.

"I really don't know how to thank that child..." Moon lay on the recliner with his eyes half-closed, feeling sleepy from the comfort of his body.

"Haha, you want to thank me? You can do it now. I have something I want to do, but I need your approval first."

Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly came, his tone impolite, as if he had been waiting for Mu En to say this so he could use it to blackmail him for a reward.

Of course, he didn't help Moon relieve his pain for nothing. He put a lot of effort into that painkiller, using a whole bunch of analgesic and sedative herbs, plus his own high concentration of "pain-shielding" mental suggestion. It was only with this double combination that it had such an effect. How could he not make good use of it?

He looked at the speechless old man in the wheelchair with a wicked grin.

Chapter 27 Using One's Body to Lure Evil Souls

What do you want to do?

Mu En asked, believing that Huo Yuhao was not the kind of person who would make any heinous demands.

He had witnessed everything Huo Yuhao had done over the past month: creating electric soul guides, establishing industries, promoting the economy, setting up newspapers, and developing education. The academy and even the entire Shrek City had reaped enormous benefits from him.

Could such a child be a bad person?

Mu En even wanted to hire Huo Yuhao as a teacher at the academy, believing that he was absolutely capable of doing so.

"Grandpa, do you want the academy to become better?" Huo Yuhao asked out of the blue.

"Of course I want to."

Moon was taken aback. What a strange question! Of course, he wanted Shrek Academy to become better.

Then Huo Yuhao started telling Mu En about things like strengthening management, identity registration, the real-name system for martial souls, and Academy City...

The constant stream of new concepts and terms left even the Limit Douluo completely bewildered.

"Sir, what's your opinion on evil spirit masters?"

"How so? Most evil spirit masters are bloodthirsty and brutal, with extreme behavior and cruel methods, deserving of everyone's wrath. Shrek Academy has always taught and practiced this way," Moon said.

"Don't you think there seem to be a lot too many evil spirit masters in Shrek City lately?"

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect that there is a large and well-organized evil spirit master organization plotting against Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

"This is impossible!" Moon was shocked, instinctively thinking it was impossible. "Evil Soul Masters are mostly eccentric and their birth is highly random. They are all solitary and I have never heard of an evil soul master being able to form an organization that can be described as 'large-scale'."

“But it’s true.” Huo Yuhao took out several Shrek City maps he had collected earlier.

“I had previously encountered several attacks by evil spirit masters in Shrek City and obtained these maps from them.”

Moon then turned serious and realized that something was wrong.

"These maps... are so detailed! They've figured out Shrek's terrain so clearly! But can you deduce that information from them?"

"That's right. Judging from the level of detail, drawing technique, and scale of this map, it definitely doesn't belong to the backward original Douluo Three Kingdoms. So it can only be from the Sun Moon Empire."

"Looking at those evil soul masters, most of them only have the strength of the third ring. Their weak soul power is one reason that makes it easier for them to sneak into the city, but on the other hand, the fact that they, despite their low level, possess such outstanding drawing skills clearly indicates that they were specially trained by the same faction." Huo Yuhao spoke eloquently.

"Therefore, we can conclude that there is a large organization in the Sun Moon Empire that specializes in collecting and training evil soul masters, and that it has great ambitions toward Shrek Academy and even the original Douluo Three Kingdoms."

“This…” The more Moon listened, the more sense it made.

Suddenly, his eyelids, which had drooped due to his age, lifted abruptly, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"It seems I must personally visit the Sun Moon Empire to take a look."

He had actually been planning this for a while, but the development of soul tools had previously given him this idea, and now it was because of the evil soul masters.

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, then there is a possibility that even Mu En dares not think about: the Sun Moon Empire officially patronizing evil soul masters.

The purpose is quite obvious.

To draw such detailed maps on another country's territory suggests either that they are scholars with a passion for geographical exploration, or that they are plotting to occupy the place.

war……

This was the only possibility he could think of.

"So what is it you need to do?" Mu En then remembered that Huo Yuhao originally wanted to ask him to do something.

"I want to eliminate—no, that's too absolute—I want to drastically reduce the number of evil soul masters in Shrek City all at once, increase Shrek City's safety index, and make Shrek City a safer and healthier city for business, education, and living," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Moon was speechless for a moment. "Then what do we do?"

"I want to organize a 'Grilled Fish Carnival'."

"?"

How did we suddenly jump to this topic? Weren't we just talking about evil spirit masters?

Moon looked completely bewildered.

Huo Yuhao immediately explained, "To lure out the evil soul masters hiding in the city, we definitely need a bait that will force them to act, and that bait..."

"it is me."

Huo Yuhao pointed to himself.

"You?" Moon shook his head repeatedly. "What do you have that could lure an evil spirit master? Besides, with your small frame at the second ring level, you'd probably die from a single breath from an evil spirit master. How could I let you be used as bait?"

"Isn't it because I have you here, Grandpa?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Moon was taken aback, then laughed and pointed repeatedly: "You, you want me to be your personal bodyguard, huh?"

"So, tell me how you plan to lure them out?"

"I don't have anything to tempt them, but I can have a reason for them to fight tooth and nail to kill me," Huo Yuhao said confidently.

"Oh?" Moon asked curiously.

………………

the next day,

A notice published in the Shrek newspaper caused a huge uproar throughout the city.

The entire city was abuzz with the news that in ten days, "the big boss of the Huo Group" would be hosting a grand carnival for the entire Shrek City.

There you'll find a spectacular fireworks show that will be a sight to behold for the entire city, countless delicious grilled fish, and a dazzling array of new electric soul guides and other products on display.

Most importantly, anyone who was in Shrek City at the time could participate!

At that time, the "Big Boss" will also stand on the stage in the very center of Shrek City to announce his discovery of a shocking conspiracy about evil soul masters.

"I found out by accident while assisting in the capture of evil spirit masters in Shrek City. Well... you know, I'm a two-ring spirit master after all, and then I discovered that all those evil spirit masters actually came from... oh, I can't say, I have to keep it a secret. Right now, only I know this. Everyone, remember to buy our products!"

The above are the words spoken by Mr. Huo during an interview with an unknown reporter with pink and blue hair.

The newspaper also included several photos of arrested evil spirit masters.

The photos show the scene of them plotting before their arrest, and the scene after their arrest. Their disguises have been torn off, and they appear to have suffered unimaginable torture.

The photo was also taken by an unknown journalist.

………………

"brute!"

An old man with a white beard slammed the newspaper on the table and cursed. Upon closer inspection, he was actually quite young, but he had deliberately grown a beard to disguise it.

"First it was Ear-Scraping Knife, then it was Carrion Vulture and his gang! They're all such a handful! We told you we're just here to secretly draw maps, do you even understand the word 'secretly'?"

You couldn't control yourself and caused trouble. Now that someone's been arrested, the Holy Church's important affairs are about to be ruined. How can you face the Holy Emperor's blessings?!

He was the captain in charge of drawing strategic topographical maps of the Shrek City area.

The cultivation of a sixth-ring Soul Emperor was faintly emanating, suppressing the dozens of black-robed men around him so that they dared not move or refute.

Beneath the black robes were various types of attire, all common merchant styles found in Shrek City.

"Then that big boss must have discovered our Holy Church. What if..." someone said worriedly.

"Whether he finds out or not, kill him! I want him dead on the stage he's about to announce his death, dead before he even opens his mouth!"

The captain roared.

"They're really courting death! Are they desperate for publicity? They dare to mess with us evil spirit masters?"

"Captain, who calls themselves an evil soul master..."

"..."

Chapter 28 Preparations

On the streets of Shrek City,

Mu En, sitting in a remotely controlled electric soul-guided wheelchair, strolled around with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao deliberately used simulated soul skills to reduce the presence of the others in order to prevent the Dragon God Douluo from being recognized.

It was just a precaution, since apart from the top management of Shrek Academy, few people in the world knew whether Moon was still alive.

"Are you sure those evil spirit masters will be lured here to kill you?" Moon asked.

"Of course they will. My newspapers revealed almost all the information that 'I am weak, I have little connection with Shrek, no one is protecting me, I will be standing in the center of a super chaotic scene, and it will be easy to kill me.' They couldn't resist when I was about to announce in a high-profile manner that I was going to reveal their biggest secret."

"For their own sake, they have to come and kill me."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he took out another carnival flyer and pasted it on the wall by the roadside.

Moon couldn't bear to watch this behavior that was so detrimental to the city's appearance.

"Old Mu, you'd better spend more time with me in Shrek City these next few days, and do some 'preparations' for the carnival," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"He just said it outright..." Mu En had previously thought that Huo Yuhao only vaguely guessed that he was not simple, and still thought that this kid shouldn't be able to guess even his specific identity. But he didn't expect that he would reveal all his secrets.

"Good, good, good. Working with you makes me feel several years younger." Mu En also became interested. Since the boy wanted to do it, let him do it. He would take care of everything anyway.

"What are you talking about?" Wang Dong asked, his eyes shining with a clear light.
