Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi and I held our breath, quietly waiting for the arrival of the 'dream lover'.

A pair of white and slender calves gently tapped the ground, and my eyes lit up. These legs looked much better than the ones on the computer. People couldn't help but want to touch them after seeing them.

Li Mazi and I were like soldiers waiting for the leader to review, staring longingly at the owner of the pair of calves, hoping that she would get out of the car and reveal her true face.

Disappointingly, the owner of the pair of calves is an old lady. Judging from her demeanor, she must be Jiu Erquanzi's mother. Next to her is a skinny woman with sunken eye sockets, high cheekbones, and a sickly body. Like a drug addict.

The old lady bowed as soon as she saw us: "Cavajira."

Neither Li Mazi nor I knew Japanese. We wanted to summon Otama to translate, but we were afraid of scaring the guests. Fortunately, the driver could speak Japanese, and he introduced us to the old lady as Jiu Erquanzi’s mother, and the person following the old lady was Jiu Erquanzi.

Li Mazi and I are a little disappointed. Except for the outline of the current Jiu Erquanzi, who looks a bit like the girl in her dreams, the rest of her looks nothing like her.

I invited the two of them into the shop and made a pot of good tea.

The old lady's eyes were fixed on the teapot, but her mind was not on the tea at all, and her face was filled with sadness.

From the moment I entered the door, I noticed that Shu Erquanzi was holding a box in her arms. I sensed it with my spiritual consciousness and found that there was no abnormal yin energy in the box, and everything seemed peaceful.

I frowned, being too calm is not a good thing!

The old lady sighed and told me the story of what happened to the woman in embarrassment.

It turns out that although Jiu Erquanzi was very beautiful and willing to work hard when she was young, she never had a chance in the entertainment industry and could not become popular. Until one day, Jiu Erquanzi told her mother that she would become famous soon.

At that time, the old lady only thought that her daughter was crazy about being popular and didn't take it seriously. Who knows that before long, Jiu Erquanzi will become very popular, but she will be famous as an AV actress...

Speaking of this, the old lady shed two lines of hot tears and covered her face with her hands.

I handed a pack of tissues to the old lady, and she wiped her tears and said, "After five years like this, I found that Quanzi was getting weirder and weirder every day. She locked herself in the room all day long and refused to come out, and her appearance was getting weirder and weirder every day. Haggard. One day, when I went to see her, I found that she was... addicted to drugs."

The old lady glanced at the woman worriedly, tears flowing down like a river.

I am also a parent, and I understand the old lady’s feelings very well. Children are always a parent’s deepest concern. I asked her why she thought Quanzi was possessed by a vagina?

The old lady told me that Quanzi had been holding a strange wind chime in her arms all day long, and she became chatty. She tried to take the wind chime away, but Quanzi bit her like crazy.

After saying that, the old lady rolled up her sleeves. There were two rows of deep tooth marks on her arms, which had turned purple.

I asked the old lady where the wind chime was now. She seemed a little scared and pointed at the box in Quanzi's arms.

Only then did I realize that Jiu Erquanzi seemed to have turned a blind eye to our conversation from beginning to end, acting dull and like a fool.

The box in her arms was Japanese style, simple in style and rough in workmanship. Because the outside was covered with a thick layer of patina, it was hard to tell what material it was made of, but it must have been some years old.

I tried to get the box in her arms, but as soon as my fingertips touched the box, Jiu Erquanzi yelled like crazy and rolled all over the floor holding the box.

The old lady quickly apologized to us, then helped Quanzi up and protected her behind her like a lioness.

However, the moment my fingertips touched the box, I felt a cold breath. This breath was different from simple Yin energy, so to speak! This aura is half ghost and half demon.

I guess the thing in the box must be something special, maybe a rather tricky Japanese monster.

I just wanted to talk to Li Mazi, but he took the lead and ran to the mother and daughter. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there is nothing in this world that our little brother from the Zhang family can't solve."

I stroked my forehead helplessly. This Li Mazi was good at everything, but he just needed a job.

When the old lady heard what Li Mazi said, she immediately bowed ninety degrees.

At this point, I was too lazy to be wordy, so I pointed at the box in Jiu Erquanzi's arms and said, "Please bring the box over, I have to take a look at the details of this thing."

The old lady looked embarrassed, and after coaxing her in a low voice for a long time, she carefully deceived the box from Quanzi.

I took the box in my hand and found that it was not as heavy as I thought.

Judging from the parts without patina, this box should be woven with a kind of aquatic reed unique to Japan. The lock of the box is also very special, it is a heart-shaped lock made of sterling silver.

I pressed the lock and there was a click, and the box opened automatically.

There is a wind chime lying in the box. This wind chime is made of eight snow-white shells strung together. Because each shell faces a different direction, it is named: octagonal wind chime!

Although the octagonal wind chime has disappeared from the lives of Japanese fishermen, its legend and production methods have still been passed down.

Its effect is the same as the Thai butterfly card and the Chinese fox fairy statue, which can make the owner charming and popular.

Just when I was about to take a closer look at this string of wind chimes, suddenly the lights in the store dimmed.

Others may not feel it, but I can clearly feel that something has come to my store...

The lights flickered a few times and then brightened again, and I looked at my surroundings warily.

I noticed that the corner of the curtain was obviously bulging, so I put the box down calmly, then picked up a low-grade magic talisman with two fingers and threw it away like a flying playing card.

The talisman was like an arrow, hitting the bulging curtain accurately!

A plume of black smoke suddenly appeared from the corner of the curtain, but I was quite surprised. The magic talisman just hit out, and combined with the Feng Shui bureau in my shop, should be able to drive away the ordinary Yin spirits.

But that Yin spirit only had a trace of black smoke coming from its body, and it was obvious that its strength exceeded that of ordinary Yin spirits.

I didn't dare to be too big, so I immediately picked up the ghost-killing sword and approached the curtain cautiously.
