Chapter 49: Chapter 0049 Coincidence (Please add to your collection! Recommended!)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In Nia City, a secluded small shop.
Bright sunlight spilled in through the door and windows, illuminating a neatly arranged set of dolls on the wooden shelves.
Some had exaggerated red noses and clown decorations, some were blond and blue-eyed, wearing princess dresses, and some were simply various cute small animals.
At the shop sign position, the words ‘House of Dolls’ were very eye-catching.
Yes, this is a doll shop!
Su Lu sat behind the counter, looking utterly bored, “I really didn’t expect… Galan is actually a handmade doll maker!”
Although these dolls were very delicate and beautiful, the prices were not so appealing. The cheapest one also required a Silver Hawk. Therefore, there were hardly any customers throughout the day.
Because he hadn’t recruited a satisfactory shop assistant, Su Lu had to assume the duty of an acting shop manager and look after the shop.
In reality, he was also waiting for a task from the Goddess Church at this contact point, which was the main source of income for the brothers during this period.
Since that incident, Su Lu had gone on a few more missions with Rod, and fortunately, they were all solved without any trouble.
From this, he not only gained a generous income but also valuable practical experience.
“As it turns out… in this era, various supernatural events are not particularly intense, perhaps it’s because we have just seen the dawn?
Su Lu speculated quietly to himself.
The most outrageous thing these days was a fellow who claimed to be a demon believer, but in fact, he made a fortune by deceiving people through the development of sects.
He was an out-and-out fraudster who staged a bunch of ambiguous rituals without any trace of supernatural power involved.
Surprisingly, the guy made quite a lot of money, which even made him seriously consider it.
In several missions, Su Lu’s ability as a [Spirit Medium] has become more and more proficient, and he could be considered as a qualified spirit summoner.
“However, a rank one Transcendent, has not surpassed a certain limit in strength, and they each have their own special expertise. For example, [Spirit Mediums] are good at dealing with spiritual bodies, but not good at fighting other Transcendents… [Demon Hunters] excel in physical durability and resistance, they have a certain ability to create marvels, but the materials required are related to demons and their effects are temporary… According to Rod, if he becomes a rank three [Demon Hunting Expert], he can use demon materials to create marvels that can last for a long time. A rank four [Demon Hunting Master] can even create ‘customized’ marvels according to their needs…”
Unfortunately, the latter is still a long way from reaching rank three.
Su Lu knew that the higher the ranks, the more terrifying the difficulty of promotion.
Aside from being idle every day, Su Lu is busy investigating the news about Kira Gales and Beryl.
Unfortunately, he has yet to find anything.
Finding no customers at the shop entrance, he opened a black leather-covered hook. an ancient notebook. and began to study demon hunting knowledge-
This was a note left by Pottery’s ancestors when hunting demons. It helped increase knowledge in the field of the occult, especially demonology.
At this time, Su Lu opened a new page:
“Cursed Spirits! A special kind of spiritual body… They were either good or evil in their lifetime, but without exception, they got attention and curses from special existences, or due to some inexplicable influences, they underwent a qualitative change in the form!”
“Cursed Spirits do not wander in the spirit world, but instinctively yearn for the real world, killing people according to certain rules, spreading death and terror among people…”
“A real Cursed Spirit can neither be destroyed nor banished. It is suspected that its source is related. As long as the ‘source’ still exists, they will truly be immortal and bring disaster to the human world…”
The content of this note comes from an ancestor of the body that Su Lu currently possesses.
The other party had become a detective during the Twilight of the Gods, discreetly investigating the whereabouts of dark creatures. This was what he left behind after surviving a particularly lethal attack by a cursed spirit.
“Beware! Even if a cursed spirit is exterminated, it will definitely reincarnate … It can only be restrained by various means, but it can never be completely erased! I suspect that there is the influence of a high-ranking existence in this
.. such as a demon!”
At the end, there was a forcefully added annotation by this ancestor. The last few letters were remarkably sloppy, tearing through the paper.
“A cursed spirit? Isn’t it just a fierce ghost and a curse?”
Su Lu laughed, flipped back and found that the handwriting had changed to someone else’s: “Hamish is still dead! Committed suicide by hanging with a belt, just like the deaths in the curse he experienced. He thought he had escaped the misfortune of death, but it had just been delayed for thirteen years!”
This sentence was neat, meticulous, but it brought Su Lu a cold chill spreading from his heart.
Not only the horror of fierce ghosts and curses, but also the despair and madness of Pottery’s ancestors seemed to emerge from this almost falling apart notebook.
He glanced at his attribute bar and found that [Demon Hunting Knowledge] had risen to LV4!
“The Pottery family’s entire heritage would limit Demon Hunting Knowledge to LV4, if not integrated into the Demon Hunter system … Because I’ve read all the notes, I may now know more about demons than Rod does …” Su Lu thought to himself, showing interest in the cursed spirit mentioned in the notes.
As a [Spirit Medium], dealing with various spiritual bodies is a professional instinct.
Of course, this strange and terrible Cursed Spirit is a bit scary, and it would be best to research it while ensuring his own safety.
Thump! Thump!
Hearing two footsteps coming in from outside, Su Lu tucked away his book, and just put on a professional smile, when his expression suddenly froze.
The two people who came in were people he knew, but he could not imagine that they would be reunited under such circumstances!
“Su Lu, I found a pretty good employee who knows how to read, calculate, and can do paperwork … much smarter than the previous ones, huh?”
Rod brought a person in with him, and noticed Su Lu, with his mouth wide open, staring at the person he brought with him.
The person’s appearance was not flattering, but he excitedly came forward and punched Su Lu: “I thought … I thought you would go on a trip during the induction period!”
“Sean, nice to see you again!”
Su Lu twitched the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and looked at Rod: “What’s going on?”
When did a university student fall into a part- time job in a doll shop? This isn’t an era where graduates are as common as dogs.
“You’re familiar with each other?”
There were not many expressions on Rod’s rigid face: “This guy voluntarily came to me, I interviewed him at the coffee house. I found it satisfactory, so I brought him over.”
“And you?” Su Lu looked at Sean.
In the current White Eagle Federation, a university diploma was valuable, at least it could find a regular employee position in a large company, how could you get into this kind of predicament?
“Oh … It’s really unfortunate!”
Ask Sean this, and he almost cried out: “I attended dozens of interviews and finally got into a transoceanic trading company, but it went bankrupt within a few days … Of course, it’s not that I have no other work opportunities, but I think I am more suitable for studying, so I plan to continue advanced studies at school, which requires an exam, I need a stable environment to review, a salary that can support me … Then I saw brother Lu’s job advertisement in the newspaper..”
