Odd Containment Specialist

"You dare to show up!"

"Wait a minute!"

A timekeeper rushed forward angrily and was about to fight with the funeral home member, but Xia Shou suddenly stopped him with his arms.

Xia Shou stared at the funeral home man in front of him, his heart surging.

Why did he come out?

Why is he here?

Xia Shou remembered very clearly that this was the man who attacked him in the Redthorn Manor. The other party sealed Alice with a cage, allowing him to witness the appearance of the wandering poet with his own eyes, and almost fell into extreme madness.

If he hadn't been pulled into the world of the book, he might have died.

However, although the other party's appearance has not changed, his figure seems to have changed greatly.

"You are still alive." Xia Shou said coldly.

"Wait, don't do it! I came here specifically to find you, and besides, I don't do that anymore." Huangfu Zuoren raised his hands and smiled.

"Didn't the royal family send you here?" Xia Shou stared at the other party vigilantly.

He asked the royal family, but he was actually more curious about how the other party escaped from the book.

At that time, this person should have entered the book with them, otherwise he would have been turned into a paper sculpture by the wandering poet's attack across time and space like everyone else in the city.

Xia Shou killed Glendower, and he was sent out by Jin Fenglong, so how did this guy get out?

The method provided by Dorian Gray to leave the world in the book is to use the supernatural power [Text Description], and [Text Description] is the exclusive supernatural power of him, the traverser of the original world, and the other party cannot master it.

Could it be that he was also sent out by Jin Fenglong?

"Last time I was doing business, this time I'm here to help you, here, take it!" Huangfu Zuoren took out a small object from his chest and threw it to Xia Shou from a distance.

Xia Shou caught it from the air. It was a stone. Except for the shape, it was almost exactly the same as the stone in Pedros's hand just now, and it was also similar to the material of the black jade door of Merlin's House.

"What is this?" Xia Shou asked.

"You don't know? How could it be... You should know about the Angang family? They gave me this stone and said it could be used against you." Huangfu Zuoren also showed a puzzled expression.

On the side, Pedros saw the stone thrown by Huangfu Zuoren, and his eyes flickered quickly, and the timekeeper behind him seemed to have discovered something and made a slight commotion.

Pedros didn't speak, raised his hand, asked the people behind him to keep quiet, and then stood quietly aside, looking at Huangfu Zuoren and Xia Shou, with a calm and natural expression.

Huangfu Zuoren glanced at Pedros, and turned to Xia Shou and said: "Shoud we talk alone? Although it doesn't matter if we say it directly, I think it's better to talk alone."

Xia Shou stared at Huangfu Zuoren for a while, turned around and walked to the side: "Follow me."

Xia Shou walked under a cracked dead tree and kept a safe distance from the crowd.

Huangfu Zuoren walked to Xia Shou and noticed the stick in Xia Shou's hand.

Although the size was very different, the shape and appearance were still the same. He was sure it was the mourning stick brought by Hei Wuchang.

"...If it's you, it's normal."

Huangfu Zuoren nodded lightly: "I always thought we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"I couldn't kill you last time, but this time you came to me." Xia Shou said coldly.

"It's not easy to kill people in this place, and the biggest problem is that you can't die." Huangfu Zuoren chuckled.

"You want to die, I don't mind helping you." Xia Shou said casually.

"I believe you can kill me, but I also know you won't kill me, otherwise I won't show up.

I guess you want to find out what commissions the British royal family and the Angang family have given me."

Xia Shou glanced at the other party in surprise, and Huangfu Zuoren took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket as if nothing had happened, took out one, and then lit it.

He took a slow puff and smiled:

"I don't have the ability to guess people's thoughts. It's the effect of a forbidden item called Reasoning Notes. It says that there is an 80% chance that you won't kill me, so I showed up to see you.

But a 20% mortality rate is also very risky for a killer like me.

Now, I'm a member of the funeral home for the time being, but don't get me wrong, I believe in human gods.

In addition, it was Doctor Jin who brought me out of that strange place."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Of course I'm trying to gain your trust. You and Doctor Jin are pretty familiar with each other, aren't you?

But now, let's talk about the most important thing. Look at this."

As he spoke, Huangfu Zuoren opened his collar and showed Xia Shou the obvious boundary mark above his collarbone. This mark also appeared on Kenon.

"I don't need to explain this, right? There is someone in the clock tower who is like me. You should have known the rules of this hell."

"So that's it. You've also changed your body."

Xia Shou understood that this body was not his at all.

"But you don't seem to feel any pain at all." Xia Shou said.

"Because my original body is not in the underworld at all." Huangfu Zuoren replied.

"Not in the underworld? Could it be that..."

Xia Shou blinked, looked at Huangfu Zuoren, and guessed: "Just the head came in?"

"That's right, the funeral home knew the rules of the underworld a long time ago, so from the beginning, we didn't come in whole, only the living head was brought in.

After entering, connect the head to the torso of other people in the underworld, and your original body will be kept fresh in reality, so as to minimize the negative impact of the laws of the underworld. "Huangfu Zuoren explained.

"What happened to the first person who came to us? His head was smashed by me."

"That person is an exception. His superpower is a bit like the 'body seizing' in your country's mythology. He takes over other people's bodies. Even if you mince that body, it has nothing to do with him."

Xia Shou nodded.

Some of the previous minor doubts have been answered, but the most critical question has not been answered yet.

"What do you want to do when you come to me?"

Huangfu Zuoren adjusted his collar and said: "Actually, I was quite surprised. Originally, I was just here to help them with things, but then I heard that you were also here, and they said they wanted to recruit you, so. I just wanted to You come with me as an undercover agent."

"..."

"Refuse, right? I knew it. The reasoning notes said that there is only a 0.5% chance of you agreeing." Huangfu Zuoren sighed.

"That's not the case, you..."

"You take out that notebook and show it to me. That's what you want to say, right?"

Before Xia Shou could finish his words, Huangfu Zuoren intercepted him and refused Xia Shou's unfinished request, as if he already knew what Xia Shou would say.

"It's impossible, it's impossible to give you that notebook. Your request is also written in the notebook, so I hid the notebook before I came.

A small person like me, not to mention having a trump card, should always have something to protect my life, right? "Huangfu Zuoren smiled.

Xia Shou frowned even more. He really wanted to summon No. 58 immediately to detect this person's lie.

It's a pity that [Suicide] has not cooled down yet.

"Take this, give this to you. All the things I investigated at the funeral home are on top."

Huangfu Zuoren thrust several folded papers into Xia Shou's hands. These pieces of paper had obviously been prepared a long time ago.

Then, he patted his clothes, looked at Xia Shou, and said seriously:

"Other than joining the funeral home, you can't escape unscathed. There is no other way out of this hell.

Not to mention Zhong Kui and the Ghost King, even the new generation of corpse eaters in the funeral home are no match for you. Instead of being spelled as Frankenstein, it's better to be an undercover agent.

In addition, I don’t know anything about the royal family and the An Gang family that you are concerned about. I was also tricked by them, but fortunately the reasoning note fell into my hands. Besides... I survived. "

Huangfu Zuoren pointed to the front: "Ma Mian is in the front, and the rest of the places are corpse eaters in the funeral home. You will encounter them soon, and then you will know what I am talking about.

Now, I'm going back, you can make your own choice, but it doesn't matter which way you choose. If you don't join the funeral home, I will find opportunities to slowly fight you back, but the pain you suffer in the process is none of my business. Don't blame me for not reminding you. "

"Dr. Jin asked you to help me?" Xia Shou asked.

"No, it's me."

Xia Shou nodded: "Thank you very much."

After saying that, he directly swung the mourning stick and hit Huangfu Zuoren on the head.

Huangfu Zuoren's face changed instantly, he bent down and flashed past him at the critical moment.

Then, he saw his body and his translucent spirit body!

Huangfu Zuoren looked at the body lying on the ground in shock, and then looked at Xia Shou who suddenly launched an attack.

How is that possible?

The reasoning notes said that Xia Shou would not kill him, and the chance was not 80% as he just said, but 100%!

After his soul left the body, Huangfu Zuoren looked at Xia Shou again. The other person's sense of oppression was no longer comparable to that just now. Those ordinary eyes, in his eyes as a spirit body, exuded a strange and unpredictable subtlety. Red light.

The feeling he gives people is the same as that of Ma Mian and Hei Wuchang!

"Come!"

Xia Shou raised the mourning stick.

[Lock the soul]!

Several transparent chains flew out of Xia Shou's body, tightly binding Huangfu Zuoren, who was a spirit body.

The next second, he was like an ancient prisoner, with his hands and feet wrapped in iron chains, and the other end of the iron chains was tied to the mourning stick.

"You just made me very unhappy... Why are you so sure that I won't kill you when you are only 80%?" Xia Shou asked coldly.

Huangfu Zuoren said in horror: "I'm here to help you!"

"If it's true, then I will spare your life."

As Xia Shou said this, he grabbed the hair of Huangfu Zuoren who was lying on the ground and chopped off the head belonging to Huangfu Zuoren with a bone knife.

Then, Xia Shou unfolded the letter that the other party had just given him.

"That's it...research on the origin of supernatural powers...The Funeral Home wants to connect the underworld with the human world to create conditions for promotion and naming. The list of holders of the Seven Shards recently announced by the Library of Humanity is equivalent to providing hunting list."

List of holders of the Branch Fragment... Why does the Library of Humanity know who holds the Fragment?

Xia Shou carried Huangfu Zuoren's head back to the team, and then stuffed the head into the animal skin bag.

"Sorry, it took a little time." Xia Shou said to Pedros.

"No, it's okay." Pedros smiled and waved his hand, "Can you lend me the stone he gave you just now?"

"Not now. I can show it to you when I think it's appropriate. It won't be later than the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Xia Shou looked at Kenon, who had been wailing, and walked forward with a mourning stick.

"I just suddenly thought of it. I can help you get rid of it. If you don't want to live anymore, tell me anytime."

In fact, since he got the mourning stick, Xia Shou already had the ability to completely kill the people here. It was just that the high-intensity thinking along the way made him ignore using this method to help the people around him.

When Xia Shou said this, the eyes of the people at that time fell on Xia Shou, with surprise and relief, and a hint of doubt in the depths of their eyes.

"Kill me." Kenon said in a very miserable but happy voice.

Now he is still enduring extreme pain, but Xia Shou's promise gave him a glimmer of hope. This happiness comes easily, as long as he believes it.

"Then you can avoid my swing of the stick later, can you do it?" Xia Shou asked.

Kenon nodded and took a dodging posture.

"1...2...3!"

Xia Shou threw the stick, Kenon dodged, and then the body made up of multiple bodies of unknown origin fell to the ground with a plop.

Xia Shou saw Kainong's soul floating in front of him, while Huangfu Zuoren's soul was still bound to the mourning stick.

This was a help, but also a test. The mourning stick, which could only allow one person's soul to leave the body, was tested. After the first soul was sealed by [Soul Binding and Soul Locking], the second person's soul was allowed to leave the body to see if it could release the first person's seal and forcibly revive.

Now the result is out, the answer is no. After the soul is sealed with [Soul Binding and Soul Locking], even if the influence of the mourning stick disappears, the sealed soul will not return to the original body.

"Kainong!"

"Kainong!"

Those timekeepers surrounded Kainong. After this former companion stopped making endless miserable wails, the old feelings surged from their hearts again.

Xia Shou looked at Kainong in front of him with his yin-yang eyes. His original appearance was a taller and more burly man than this patchwork body. After becoming a soul, his expression finally returned to calm.

"Thanks, I don't have to feel any more pain." Kenon smiled with relief.

"Say a few words, don't let them think I lied to you, and then we can go." Xia Shou said.

"Can't I continue to exist like this? I really don't want to die... I was in so much pain just now that I wanted to die." Kenon smiled bitterly.

"Sorry, if I swing at the second person, you will have to go back, so you have to think about it yourself." Xia Shou replied.

In fact, you can also use [Soul Binding and Soul Locking] to keep Kenon's soul alive.

But there is a price to seal the soul, and he must use this ability as little as possible.

Even if he really has to use it, it will be at the most critical moment, to prepare for 102, Su Yue and Gu Liang.

Of course, he hopes that this idle quota will never be used.

After thinking for a long time, Kenon finally nodded: "Then please tell Qiwa and me a message, just give birth to the baby, just for me."

"Qiwa is here?"

"It's me!" A middle-aged woman with blond hair and freckles stood up from the crowd with expectation.

Xia Shou looked at the other party and said: "Kainon said, give birth to the baby, just for him."

Qiwa was stunned, and so were the others.

After a while, Qiwa wiped her tears and nodded silently.

Kenon nodded and sighed heavily: "Don't worry, Mr. Trump Card, send me on my way."

Xia Shou enchanted the mourning stick in his hand with the spirit beating.

In the eyes of others, he just swung the stick hard at the air in front of him.
