I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 451 - 417: A Weird Power?

"Ah, what a pity, I should have asked them about who this Master Qi really is."

The smart little Chang An’s comment immediately left the master and servant stunned.

Damn, right?

How did I not think of that just now?

I could have subjected them to brutal interrogation and beaten a confession out of them, but I squandered such a good opportunity instead.

Jiang Xiao looked at Chang An with a look of deep resentment until the latter felt goosebumps before he finally spoke.

"Why didn’t you remind me just now?"

Chang An: "?"

"Daddy, look at what I just found; see if it’s any use."

Bai Yi ran over, proudly presenting a pile of odds and ends.

"This... identity tokens?"

The most conspicuous items were three identical black tokens, each suffused with a strange aura that was difficult to remove by force.

"And there are words on them?"

It read "Supporting Mountain Guise, Outer Sect Disciple."

Tsk.

It seems there are also different levels of talent within the strange.

Still an Outer Sect Disciple at such an old age, I guess that’s as far as their talent goes,

In martial arts novels, therefore, many Outer Sect Disciples who know they have no hope of advancing further would find excuses to go out for training.

In reality, most of them were out to find other ways to make a living.

Serving the rich and powerful was one of the easiest paths.

Especially serving mortals as a "Guest Elder," where you work less, get paid more, and even receive a certain level of respect.

"Have you heard of this Supporting Mountain Guise sect?"

"Never heard of it, probably some local sect from Hangzhou City, and since they’re Outer Sect Disciples, this Master Qi is probably not all that great either."

Feiyun Taoist Sect, where Steel Egg was from, wasn’t far from Hangzhou City, so if even Chang An hadn’t heard of this Supporting Mountain Guise, the sect was probably really crappy.

"What’s this?"

Curious, Steel Egg took a smooth, transparent little bead from Bai Yi’s hand; it was full of cracks.

Chang An frowned when he saw it.

"Soul Engraving Beads!"

These items were common, divided into master and slave beads. One could bind a person’s aura to them, so if that person died, the master bead would also shatter.

"So this means that this power called Supporting Mountain Guise or Master Qi already knows these three are dead?"

"Supporting Mountain Guise probably doesn’t know; these three old geezers were Outer Sect Disciples even at their age; for such trash, Supporting Mountain Guise likely doesn’t keep their soul lamps."

So, these Soul Engraving Beads were probably gifts from Master Qi to them.

"No wonder, after Ni He died last night, Song Dalian’s family was ambushed on the road. It must have been because Ni He’s master bead broke. Ah, I should have examined the body more closely then."

Jiang Xiao felt guilty—if he had checked the body and found the bead back then, he definitely wouldn’t have let Song Dalian’s family, just a bunch of mortals, hit the road like that,

Bai Yi felt deflated upon learning the effects of the beads and shared that she also felt the presence of the little bead when she was eating Ni He last night, but didn’t think much of it.

"What do we do now?"

Chang An felt somewhat uneasy; with these three dead, the other party will surely be on guard.

"Daddy, let’s avenge Dalian and that kind person who invited us to dinner. If it weren’t for us killing that villain Ni He, causing Master Qi to find out, Song Dalian’s family wouldn’t have..."

He sighed and patted Bai Yi’s head, thinking to himself that she really was just a timid little girl who liked listening to stories and was prone to sentimentality.

Not wanting to upset her, Jiang Xiao thought carefully and felt that the situation was probably not as bad as Chang An imagined.

"Don’t panic, I guess the other party doesn’t have any strong characters left. If Young Master Qi had any formidable oddities, they would have come with these three men."

Jiang Xiao speculated that last night’s Ni He and the three men now were probably acquaintances, likely being external disciples of some rogue sect who had pledged allegiance to Young Master Qi.

And among the external disciples, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a master to exist.

"The most important thing is, we are in the dark, and they are in the light. This advantage is mine!"

.....

As the saying goes, when flowers bloom, both branches show their charm.

At this moment, Young Master Qi was indeed worried, but far less so than Jiang Xiao had imagined.

Facing an ancient and glamorous mirror, Young Master Qi ceaselessly whispered incantations.

Finally, as if heeding some kind of call, the mirrored image of Young Master Qi slowly faded away, and in its place appeared a voluptuous woman with not a thread on her body.

"Young Qi, I’ve already told you not to summon me unless it’s something important. You better have something truly urgent."

’Hiss~’

After saying this, the woman subconsciously stuck out her tongue, but it... seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.

Young Master Qi knelt on the ground, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at the mirror above.

"Master, there is indeed some troublesome matter this time..."

He hadn’t finished his words when he was interrupted by the enchanting woman in the mirror.

"Didn’t I give you four wastrels? Not enough for you?"

"Uh, Master, they’re all dead."

"?"

"Didn’t I repeatedly emphasize that you should keep a low profile? Have you caused trouble again, or did you send those four old men to kill?"

The woman’s voice was almost brimming with dissatisfaction.

Young Master Qi immediately began knocking his head on the ground in admission of guilt, his face full of worry, indicating that the problem did not originate from himself, but from Song Dalian.

"That unlucky father of hers somehow found a master. Not only did he kill Ni He’s oddity, but he is also going to report to the authorities. I had no choice but to send the other three to intercept, but didn’t expect not a single one to survive, and the mother pearls are all shattered."

"Now, the dozen or so little Karami left in the house altogether are barely on par with Ni He’s level. I’m afraid they won’t be able to stop the other party."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing about Dalian, the woman’s expression slightly relaxed.

This matter truly needed the utmost secrecy...

And because it was a matter of such importance, she had not arranged for the Song family to be completely annihilated, to avoid attracting certain people’s attention.

"Well then, I have a ghost servant that can be lent to you for self-defense for two days. Even a typical Golden Core practitioner can’t withstand her methods."

"Is it a man or a woman?"

"Heh, it’s a woman. But you pay attention, the ghost servant’s strength can only be fully exerted at night."

Hearing it was a woman, Young Master Qi’s face instantly showed a barely contained joy.

"Doesn’t that mean she is like me, working under you, existing at the same level as me?"

"The same level?"

The woman in the mirror laughed coldly several times, her tone undisguisedly mocking.

"She is a servant, you are a despicable dog, she is my servant, and you are only fit to be a dog."

After speaking, the woman’s figure gradually disappeared from the mirror, followed by her final, faint instruction.

"This ghost servant’s name is Juice Squeezer; in life, she was promiscuous, and now, as a female ghost, she most enjoys absorbing men’s life force. She will arrive within two hours...."
