Chapter 441
Chapter 441: 【Rattlesnake Golden Spear】
“Damn, how can we find out how to become a Soul Ferryman if I’ve killed him?”
Luo Sheng looked at Murong Yu, whose face was already distorted and whose breath had long since disappeared.
After all, this guy was too disgusting before, always using some nauseating tone to threaten himself, trying to show his own greatness, when in fact it just made people feel he was more insecure.
Luo Sheng couldn’t help but stab him a few more times.
And gave him a good beating.
But now thinking about it, he deeply regretted it, because he had forgotten to ask about the Soul Ferryman.
Especially how to gain abilities like theirs.
Luo Sheng cared very much about this matter.
Because understanding more meant his own life would be more secure, and he could even prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
“Why didn’t any of you remind me?” Luo Sheng looked at the cards around him.
Bai Moxue directly rolled her eyes.
Acoley pretended not to know anything.
Even Levni was playing with her staff, completely ignoring his complaint.
Only Dongfang Muqing angrily retorted: “You were the one who stabbed him to death in the end, how can you blame us? Bad guy!”
“Uh… understanding the Card Master’s intentions is also something cards should do.”
Luo Sheng scratched his cheek with his finger.
Showing a slightly embarrassed expression, but still explaining seriously, after all, cards should be in tune with the Card Master’s mind.
Especially when the compatibility with the card girls was so high.
Understanding one’s intentions wasn’t too much to ask, was it?
“Hmph~”
Dongfang Muqing also rolled her eyes like Bai Moxue.
Seeing everyone almost identical, even showing reproachful looks, Luo Sheng could only sigh helplessly.
“It’s indeed a pity.”
He stabbed Murong Yu’s body once more, just in case he suddenly came back to life.
It was better to be cautious after all. If he was half-dead and caught red-handed by a Soul Ferryman, then his secret would be exposed to everyone.
This wasn’t a good thing.
So, Luo Sheng learned one thing, that cutting the grass and digging up the roots was most important.
What if a Soul Ferryman was right behind him?
No one wants their secrets to become someone else’s leverage.
“What should we do with her?”
Bai Moxue looked at Sima Shengnan who had fallen unconscious.
She was even poking her face gently with a twig to make sure she was really unconscious.
Luo Sheng watched Bai Moxue’s actions, raising his eyebrows slightly, and reminded her: “She’s an elite detective, one rank higher than your husband. Doing this lacks grace.”
“Why are you suddenly so kind-hearted?”
Bai Moxue tilted her head and looked at him.
Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, then said with a righteous face: “I’ve always been a kind person.”
But Bai Moxue squinted her eyes, looking at him with a half-smile:
“But I always feel like you’re lying. Earlier when she was beaten black and blue by others, I didn’t see you help. You were just watching with interest from the side. Now you’re suddenly so kind and considerate?”
Luo Sheng tapped her head, pretending to be a stern husband: “Your husband has given it deep thought. For your safety, I think it’s better not to intervene.”
Bai Moxue and Dongfang Muqing rolled their eyes in unison.
Apparently, they were used to Luo Sheng’s glib tongue.
Luo Sheng swiftly pulled out all the cards from Murong Yu’s mental space.
He took the platinum-level 【Rattlesnake Golden Spear】.
【Rattlesnake Golden Spear】
Level: Platinum 3-star.
Type: Skill

① Summons a mother trident spear on the spot, which can split into two golden spears every 4 seconds to attack marked enemies indiscriminately.

Dark effect:
④: Splitting doubled.
⑤: Time doubled.
Can be used twice daily.
Description: A deity’s trident, its will is the will of the deity.
Luo Sheng looked at this dark card.
He unhesitatingly put it into his own hand. This special skill card was currently the skill he wanted most.
At least it could continuously interfere with enemies.
Luo Sheng also chose the skill card 【Thousand-Mile Kill】 that had been chasing him earlier.
This was a platinum 2-star card.
It could more flexibly track enemies until they were destroyed or it was blocked.
This card had given him trouble before.
Luo Sheng also took a platinum 2-star 【Spiritual Energy Shield】, casually picked a dozen gold cards, and put the rest back in place.
After all, Murong Yu’s corpse must be taken back to the Security Bureau.
Therefore, some cards had to be left, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if asked at the Security Bureau.
However, Luo Sheng searched for a long time but couldn’t find a card that could deprive others of their souls.
“Could it be that he didn’t have such an ability?”
Luo Sheng was puzzled.
He carefully searched Murong Yu’s other two followers, but didn’t find any cards that could deprive others of their souls.
This was strange.
Luo Sheng suddenly thought of something and took out 【Dongli Yuyan】, summoning her on the spot.
A flash of silver light passed.
Dongli Yuyan, wearing green clothes, glasses, with flowing long hair and a lace hat, suddenly appeared before everyone.
She first looked at the surrounding environment.
An abandoned factory, a chaotic scene.
There were traces of a previous fight. She looked down and found Luo Sheng looking at her, with a very familiar corpse beside him.
Luo Sheng didn’t beat around the bush and said very directly: “Your boss Murong Yu has been killed by me.”
Seeing this scene, Dongli Yuyan froze on the spot.
She had an incredulous look.
Especially when she confirmed that Luo Sheng’s strength was only at the gold level, how could he possibly kill a platinum Card Master?
Moreover, Murong Yu had several dark cards.
The characteristic of dark cards was that they were more vicious than ordinary cards, with doubled strength and power.
The consumption of spiritual power didn’t increase.
Therefore, even if their strength was inflated, they were still much stronger than ordinary Card Masters.
“How did you do it?”
“His strength was inflated, just as you said, so he died at my hands, but that’s not important.” Luo Sheng explained simply.
Then he took out a dozen cards and turned them over one by one.
He continued: “Do you know how they deprive souls? Or what card they use?”
Dongli Yuyan calmed herself down.
She took the cards in her hand.
Finally, she shook her head, “It’s none of these cards, and he didn’t have the ability to deprive souls.”
Luo Sheng felt that Dongli Yuyan was lying to him.
So he played the conversation in the control room for her to hear.
After listening, Dongli Yuyan’s expression became even more strange.
But she still said: “This can only be done by specially designated personnel, other ordinary people, even platinum-level monsters, can’t do it.”
“Then do you know who in your organization has these abilities?”
“A hidden department, located outside the city, but now they’ve probably changed location. I don’t have much contact with them, they report directly to the number one.”
“Who is the number one?”
“An even more hidden person, my level isn’t high enough to contact him. I heard his location is in another dimension, seems to be called the Fate Realm.”
“So it’s that place.”
Luo Sheng pondered thoughtfully. Previously, Yuchi Xueyao wanted to fly across to an area, that place he had encountered before, where monsters roamed freely.
The most common level was gold and above, with guardians basically at platinum level.
Such a terrifying area was indeed a good hiding place.
Luo Sheng continued to change the topic and asked, “Then do you know about your organization’s assistant officer?”
“A temporary position with very high authority, he can mobilize the number one, so you’d better be careful, especially since he’s now targeting all employees of the Yuncheng Card Alliance.” Dongli Yuyan answered.
“Mm, I will.”
Luo Sheng was obviously not satisfied with her explanation, but could only respond perfunctorily.
Finally, he crossed his arms and fell into deep thought about the current situation.
He felt something was not quite right.
But he had a feeling he couldn’t put his finger on.
After resolving all this, he found that he hadn’t gained the ability of the Soul Ferryman. Moreover, the fact that Sima Shengnan could find Murong Yu itself was a bit strange.
It was originally during the holiday period, how did Sima Shengnan know about Murong Yu? Was it her informant who told her?
But, Sima Shengnan didn’t need to take such a risk, did she?
Wouldn’t it have been more reassuring to notify the Security Bureau? Why did she suddenly take the risk to come here?
Was someone deliberately hiding something?
Wanting her to come here to die.
On one hand, Luo Sheng felt this possibility was very high, but as for who was behind it, Luo Sheng couldn’t figure it out at all. Had Sima Shengnan offended someone?
Or was there already a mole in the Security Bureau?
Just then.
Click… Click…
Footsteps sounded in the factory area.
In the dim light, a person wearing a crow mask, a tall hat, holding a pocket watch, dressed in a clean and tidy suit slowly walked over.
He stopped near Sima Shengnan.
Slowly squatting down.
The pocket watch in his hand was swung up, like the pendulum of a clock, swinging back and forth, “Dear lady, do you want to live?”
Luo Sheng: “!!!”
