In a narrow iron cage, one by one, the Sisters either sat or knelt, all dressed in what resembled the garb of mental patients. They looked listless and dispirited, as if they had just given birth to ten babies at once.
However, if you looked closely, you would realize that none of these Sisters were normal.
They were all spirits!
There was a spirit of a rabbit, a spirit of a roe deer, and even a hedgehog spirit.
Animals nowadays are really too ambitious; aren't they supposed to be unable to become spirits during the establishment of a nation? Who can explain to me the presence of these dozen or so female spirits before my eyes?
The one closest to me was a rabbit spirit, looking quite juvenile. If I didn't know she was a spirit, I would have thought she was just a middle school girl.
You ask how I could tell she was a Rabbit Spirit? It's simple; just look at the two rabbit ears on her head.
Although these spirit Sisters still maintained basic human forms, they exhibited certain features of their original forms to varying degrees. For instance, the Hedgehog Spirit Sister had spikes on her back that were as thick as fingers. The roe deer transformed Sister had short canine teeth and exuded a pleasant musk. Because of this, I was certain these Sisters were not ordinary people.
I glanced at the keychain in my hand, which had several keys with numbers attached. One of the keys matched the number on the cage of the Rabbit Demon Girl.
Well then, since I've encountered them, I can't just ignore it. I stepped forward and opened the door of the Rabbit Demon Girl's cage.
The Rabbit Demon Girl lay inside the cage and looked up at me with soft eyes that revealed a deep sense of fear.
"Don't be afraid, I'm—what the hell!" Just as I crouched down to help the Rabbit Demon Girl up, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit my leg.
It happened too quickly, and I was completely unprepared. In an instant, the Sister bit me hard, and I felt blood start to flow.
"Don't be afraid." I gritted my teeth against the pain and whispered, "I'm not one of those people."
The Rabbit Demon Girl had red eyes that looked like she was wearing colored contact lenses. At that moment, she gazed at me with an expression akin to that of someone seeking revenge for their father's death.
The Sister was very weak; she barely had enough strength to bite me once before she could no longer hold on.
I wanted to pick up Sister, but I noticed a tube behind her that connected Sister to a cage. The tube was inserted directly into the artery at the back of Sister's neck, with some blood residue still inside.
Damn it, were those people keeping these fairies for the purpose of drawing blood?
In an instant, I was filled with rage!
A needle, the kind we usually use for intravenous drips, was inserted into the back of Sister's neck, drawing her blood through the tubes attached to the cage.
I reached out and pulled the needle out of Sister's neck, quickly pressing my fingers against the wound.
Sister slumped completely in my arms, lacking any strength. It was then that I noticed a thin needle had pierced her arm, used to secure a Yellow Talisman.
There are countless types of talismans; although they differ greatly, they generally follow a traceable pattern. No matter how complex a talisman is, it ultimately derives from the original eight basic symbols. Therefore, anyone who can draw talismans is also usually quite skilled at recognizing them.
Additionally, since Pervert's collection included various strange talismans, there were many rare and nearly lost symbols. Although I couldn't draw them, I was quite good at identifying them.
The talisman on Rabbit Demon Girl's arm might be unrecognizable to someone else. Besides the original symbols, there are also talismans derived from inscriptions on ancient artifacts. These types of talismans lack definitions and patterns. Fortunately, I often read various odd books in my spare time and had seen this ancient symbol before.
Slave Seal, derived from the ancient artifact Demon Suppression Banner. The Demon Suppression Banner was one of the key factors in humanity's victory in ancient times.
The purpose of the Demon Suppression Banner is to suppress the demonic power of demonkind, causing fairies within a certain area to lose their support from demonic energy and capturing those demons while they are weak.
The function of the Slave Seal is similar; it suppresses the flow of demonic energy in demonkind.
However, this type of talisman has been banned since the establishment of diplomatic relations between humans and demons. Even when subduing those notorious demons, this type of talisman would not be used. After all, humans are born from humans and demons from demons. In this era where demons also value human rights, there are no longer violent enforcements like Yan Chixia capturing Demon Persons. Of course, if reasoning fails, we would still resort to force.
Azure's magical energy surged slowly into my hand as I extended three fingers to grasp the thin needle on Rabbit Demon Girl's wrist. The person who drew this Noble Slave Talisman likely did not have much skill; after all, does a true Noble Slave Talisman require this needle as an aid?
The purpose of this needle is to connect the Noble Slave Talisman directly with Rabbit Demon Girl's demonic energy. This reflects the inadequacy of the person who drew it; they needed auxiliary tools.
However, removing this needle would be quite troublesome. I had to ensure that while pulling out this needle, I wouldn't inadvertently draw out all of Rabbit Demon Girl's demonic energy. If she turned back into a rabbit during that process, it would certainly make things easier!
"Ugh," Rabbit Demon Girl let out a soft cry of pain.
"Hang in there, it will be over soon." Damn it, why does this sentence feel wrong? A change in tone could lead to a four-year sentence or even the death penalty.
As soon as the needle left Sister's wrist, I immediately used my own magic to activate Sister's meridians. After all, Sister's demonic energy had not flowed through her meridians for a long time, so there was bound to be some stagnation. I really needed a helper right now, which is why I was putting in so much effort to assist this Sister.
I used my magic to stimulate Rabbit Demon Girl's demonic energy; just like magic, demonic energy can act like a stimulant.
With the normal flow of demonic energy, Rabbit Demon Girl's previously pale face quickly became flushed. I knew that Rabbit Demon Girl was starting to recover.
Seeing that Sister should have regained her ability to move, I withdrew my magic and placed Sister back on the ground.
"Enough chit-chat for now; I have things to do. Take these keys and try to rescue as many as you can." I pointed at the other fairies still trapped in cages. "If you can escape on your own, just run straight to J University and find someone named Xing Qi."
Xing Qi is Uncle Xing's name in the human world.
I sensed that someone was approaching outside, so I hurriedly entrusted the task of rescuing those fairies to Rabbit Demon Girl.
Although I had found these missing Sisters, my mission was far from over; at the very least, I needed to find Shaoming first.
In fact, if the opponent's strength exceeded mine by too much, I could directly ask Uncle Xing for support. If I encountered a situation where survival was impossible, I could also abandon the mission.
However, the current situation did not seem uncontrollable. More importantly, calling for help would cost me wages, so I planned to handle it myself.
I had a rough understanding of the opponent's strength; they seemed to have a nature similar to organized crime. However, there should be some practitioners supporting them from behind, which allowed them to act so recklessly.
That made things even more complicated. They were already right in front of me; if I didn't deal with them thoroughly, I'd lose face. Okay, I'll admit it—what I'm most afraid of is having my wages deducted.
It sounded like there were quite a few people coming; the footsteps were dense. If we faced each other head-on, I'd definitely be at a disadvantage since no one knew if that group had weapons like tranquilizer guns.
If they did have such weapons, wouldn't I end up capsizing again? No way—I must prepare first!
Since this is a battle between practitioners, I won't hold back at all. I took out the Azure Flower Robe from my Seed Bag, and in an instant, my mana surged significantly. I don't know why, but this Daoist Robe is truly magical.
Wearing the Daoist Robe, my combat power is on a completely different level compared to when I'm not wearing it. After all, the flow of mana is quite important; it determines the speed of my spellcasting and reduces my recovery time.
Alright, I've been playing games a lot lately.
I no longer have any Flying Swords or wooden swords, so the only means of long-range control I have left is the Yellow Talisman. Among my Yellow Talismans, the only one that poses a threat to practitioners is the Fire Talisman.
Wind Walking Technique! Using the Wind Walking Technique to set up the Fire Talisman, I wasn't just placing it randomly; I referenced the layout method of the Dry Earth Formation.
I still have a Wakizashi that I took from the bald man. I hid the Wakizashi behind my waist; there's no choice since I don't have any other weapons on me right now.
Once this is over, I must prepare more weapons; otherwise, I'll really run out if I lose some.
Previously, I carried three Flying Swords and three wooden swords—six swords in total—but now I don't have any left. The three Flying Swords were probably taken by those bald men, and the wooden swords were left in that iron cage before.
Damn it, losing the wooden swords is one thing, but losing the Flying Swords really hurts. Wooden swords can still be bought, but where can I find another Flying Sword? Is there anyone who still makes Flying Swords these days? Probably not.
My Flying Sword was applied for from Uncle Xing; it was a standard weapon of the court. In today's world, it's unlikely to find such a Flying Sword. Even if I could find one, who knows which dynasty it came from? Perhaps it was left behind by some predecessor.
