Chapter 536 - 395: Out-of-Body Soul, Evil Spirit Slime Monster in the Sewers_2
Zhou Qing laughed, "Sure, I’ll relay it to Brother Long right away. But this is a game, it’s normal for red names to end up in jail, plus they’re all team players, individual gains and losses don’t matter. Brother Chun, don’t think too much about it."
Chun sighed, "Alright. By the way, I also need some information about the gangs in Bronze City, if you have any, please gather them for me."
Zhou Qing: "I’ll collect the information right away, Brother Chun, please wait a moment."
"Actually, there’s no rush..."
After ending the call, Chun came up with a new plan. Since he couldn’t find the prison, he decided to wander around the city. He might even visit the Bronze Flower’s mansion, and if he could ’communicate through dreams,’ that would be even better.
Chun asked, "Mina, if it’s someone with Bronze Flower’s level of power, can we get in?"
Mina was stunned, "Master, getting above her is absolutely impossible!"
Chun was confused, "What do you mean by above?"
Mina laughed, "But if it’s getting below, there’s a slight possibility."
Holy shit, she was joking with me!
Chun was both amused and exasperated, "Let’s just wander around."
Soon, he saw people coming and going in front, so Chun quietly followed. After passing through two gates, the bustling lights and prosperity hit him in the face. He was in the city now.
The night market from the soul perspective was beyond description as bustling; it was complete light pollution. On the screen, he saw only blobs of light, and everyone appeared as indistinct light masses. The hearing was also blurred; all around were noises, making it impossible to hear specific conversations.
This felt intensely unpleasant! Maybe wandering around wasn’t the best choice?
Then the phone rang.
Chun picked it up and saw that Zhou Qing had sent over a hundred pages of information. Chun glanced at it and felt his scalp tingle! And this was just the public information; what if there was hidden information?
"Thanks for your help."
Zhou Qing laughed, "Don’t mention it, Brother Chun. If you need help, just keep asking."
Sigh, now I have no mood to look at information.
Chun continued wandering aimlessly around the city. Just as he was feeling lost, a crisp cat’s meow suddenly sounded beside him.
Chun was startled and looked up to see an incredibly clear pair of "grain-like eyes" sitting atop the wall!
Mina was surprised, "It’s the Black Cat! The Black Cat can communicate spiritually, it can see us. Spirited Black Cats are also easily possessed by various souls and are often considered unlucky animals. Perhaps we can possess the Black Cat."
Chun got interested, "That sounds interesting, let’s possess the Black Cat!"
As Chun and Mina drifted closer, the Black Cat, surprisingly bold, didn’t run away and allowed Chun and Mina to approach.
——System Alert: The stray Black Cat agrees to your team’s possession.
The next moment, Chun’s perspective shifted, feeling as if his whole being shrunk to cat size. His vision instantly brightened, almost like twilight, and his hearing turned exceptionally clear from the earlier noise!
Mina exclaimed happily, "Master, we are sharing the cat’s vision and hearing!"
Chun got even more excited, "Can we talk to it, command it?"
Mina: "I’ll try!"
So Mina also meowed, "Little cat, can you understand?"
The Black Cat gave a low meow, then suddenly began to dash across roofs and walls. The sudden acceleration, the branches, walls, pipes rushing towards him... Holy shit, this is quite thrilling!
Where could it be going? It doesn’t seem to be frightened?
Soon, the surrounding noise diminished, and the lights dimmed. They had entered the suburbs. No, this was obviously the abandoned factory seen in dreams, triggering a hidden quest!
The Black Cat slipped into a hole, the sound of water gurgling around—it was the sewer!
Strangely, as soon as Chun entered the sewer, a familiar sense of security washed over him.
After a few twists and turns, they arrived at an unremarkable section of the sewer stream and stopped, the Black Cat meowing at the water.
Chun was both nervous and expectant.
The next moment, bubbles rolled in the water, and a large mass of slime floated up—Holy shit, a long-lost Slime Monster!
The Black Cat’s meow changed, sounding very affectionate!
Chun might have figured it out.
The Slime Monster spoke, "Tom, who did you bring?"
A female?
Chun thought it was time to step in, "Can you hear me?"
The Slime Monster was surprised, "Of course! A living being and a necromancer together."
Chun asked, "Are you the cat’s owner? Do you need our help?"
The Slime Monster sighed, "You can’t help, but Tom never gives up on me, always trying to find a way. It’s actually an old cat, already 16 years old now."
Chun heard the fondness for the cat. Generally, when encountering a cat lover, you have to praise their cat.
"No, it’s not old at all. Not only did it keenly discover us, but it also runs fast, jumps far, and is very smart."
The Slime Monster was indeed comforted, "Tom’s so good!"
Chun continued, "So for such a lovely cat, you must also be filled with hope. Even if you become a necromancer—"
Mina added, "I can also find joy as a necromancer."
The Slime Monster indeed perked up a bit, "Joy, huh, let me think. The owner of the Rainbow Street Dance Wheel Motorcycle Shop, Baldy, owes me 200,000 Mining Coins. Now that I’m dead, money is useless. I only want him dead, can you kill him for me?"
——System Alert: You have received the Slime Monster’s quest ’Kill the Bald Boss,’ would you like to accept it?
Holy shit, you want me to kill someone right off the bat? Definitely an evil spirit! But I don’t dare refuse, otherwise, the evil spirit might turn on us, and Mina and I would end up done for here.
Chun thought about it a bit more and decided to persuade him, "Who says money is useless after death? I’ve been to the necromancer city, the necromancers there are even greedier, so don’t be so stubborn. If he’s willing to return a few hundred thousand more, how about sparing him?"
A red light flashed before Chun’s eyes, and the Slime Monster thundered, "I said, I only want him dead!"
Holy shit, I knew he would flip if I didn’t agree!
Chun made one last effort, "Do you know what the greatest pain for the living is? Being alive, with no money left!"
The Slime Monster hesitated for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Interesting! Then I’ve changed my mind. Make him a pauper immediately! If you succeed, the benefits I give you will exceed your imagination."
——System Alert: Quest updated... would you like to accept?
Holy shit! Benefits beyond imagination? The owner of a Black Cat this mystical, he must have been a powerful Mage in life, wronged, and thrown into the sewer...
Chun couldn’t refuse any longer, "Is there a time limit?"
The Slime Monster sighed, "You reminded me, of course, the sooner the better. Tom will monitor your progress. Now, Tom, off you go."
The Black Cat meowed and began to accelerate back.
Chun was now in a dilemma again. Ruining someone to the point of becoming a pauper doesn’t seem hard. Destroying, looting, burning his shop would do that. But I’m just a soul, how could I do it? Forcefully possessing and controlling the boss? Making him hand over his money? Smashing the shop myself? Mina is just a beginner Nightmare, maybe she can’t do it.
So, should I trouble Brother Long again, gather all the Chinese players in the city, each with an oil lamp to burn his shop? Wouldn’t that make us like the Curry players who besieged the Count’s Mansion back then? Moreover, this isn’t just about a few hundred people with red names, repaying such a favor is too costly.
Or maybe, return to my own body, get on board the ship, and contact the Pirate King to take action... but that’s unreliable too?
Perhaps the most reliable way is to directly have the Bronze Flower confiscate his assets with her supreme power—but my relationship with Bronze Flower isn’t that deep...
All these thoughts swirling, the Black Cat raced back to the bustling market, then leapt up a street tree and stopped.
Beneath the tree, the shop sign stood clearly—it was the Wulun Motorcycle Shop.
Chun was stunned, at the entrance, leaning on a row of motorcycles, was a whole bunch of dancer models! This isn’t just a motorcycle shop, truly a signature of Mechanical City! But the shop’s security scale even surpasses the disgraced one in Gem City...
Chun immediately checked the information Zhou Qing had sent, looked up Baldy, and was even more stunned! The leader of the bikers, one of the top three gangs!!
