"Wow! That scared me!" I saw the Nine-Dragon Cauldron filled to the brim with Elixir of Immortality and let out a long breath, finally feeling relieved. The Nine-Dragon Cauldron was only the size of a fist, and it contained about as much Elixir of Immortality as a cup of water. I gulped down all the Elixir in one go.
"Yawn~~" After swallowing the Elixir of Immortality, I couldn't help but yawn, a wave of intense drowsiness washing over me. I placed the Nine-Dragon Cauldron on the bedside table, collapsed onto the bed, and immediately fell asleep.
Inside my body, the Elixir of Immortality transformed into a warm current that surged toward the patch of Black Blood on my left arm, gradually forcing it out of my system. I could see a trace of Black Crow Witch Poison seeping through my skin, releasing a pungent stench while staining the bedspread black, making the scene particularly unpleasant.
A wisp of white mist floated out from the Nine-Dragon Cauldron on the bedside table and entered my Dantian. The white mist wrapped around the shattered Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddha Manifestation, rapidly repairing it and solidifying the Buddha Manifestation within my Dantian.
"Zzz~~ Zzz~~" I snored, completely unaware of the changes happening to my body, only feeling an overwhelming fatigue.
In Dragon's Apartment, Wang Hai's butler noticed that Wang Hai had been in the basement for quite some time without coming out. Worried for his safety, he took a flashlight and ventured into the basement.
"Sir, are you there?" The butler called out loudly while shining his flashlight around. He knew that Wang Hai kept ghosts in the basement and that he often brought down pork and human blood by himself. He was frequently tormented by those ghosts; if it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't want to enter that basement. As for the Western Flying Skull deep within the basement, he was unaware of its existence; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to go down there.
"Ah! What is this!" Upon finding Wang Hai's corpse, the butler was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering as he guessed what had happened from the shredded clothes on the floor.
"Shut up! If you don't want to die, get out!" A chilling voice echoed from deep within the basement, causing cold sweat to break out on the butler's back. His face drained of color as he let out a scream and stumbled toward the exit.
After escaping from the basement, the butler collapsed weakly to the ground, still shaken as he glanced back. He pulled out his phone and dialed emergency services with trembling voice: "Hello, is this 110? I'm at Dragon's Apartment; our master is dead! Please hurry! Come save me!"
Time passed quickly, and soon it was seven o'clock in the evening when I woke up from hunger.
"Ah! That was such a good sleep!" I stretched lazily but suddenly sensed something was off; there was an overwhelming stench in my room—worse than a toilet that hadn't been cleaned in a month.
"What the hell is this!" I opened my eyes to find the blanket on my bed stained black and damp. The foul odor was emanating from it. Frowning, I quickly grabbed the blanket and rushed to the trash can outside, tossing it into the pile.
"Hmph, you ran fast!" I returned to the Buddhist Artifact Shop, only to find that Jin Yuan had already left for the day. I would have to settle the score with her later. I went into the bathroom, washed up, and changed out of my dirty clothes.
At that moment, I finally noticed a change in my body. I let out a hearty laugh and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that the Elixir of Immortality could really dispel Voodoo! And my Buddha Manifestation has returned! I've struck it rich this time! I won't have to fear getting hurt anymore!"
In a cheerful mood, I hummed a tune as I went out for a meal. By the time I returned to the Buddhist Artifact Shop, it was already nine in the evening; darkness had completely fallen, and the streetlights were lit.
Surrounding the Buddhist Artifact Shop were a team of armed police officers, their guns at the ready as they awaited my appearance.
After Wang Hai's butler reported to the police, they quickly arrived on the scene. After investigating and based on the butler's description, they ultimately focused their attention on me. I was the only one who had been in the basement with Wang Hai, giving me the opportunity to kill him.
The real culprit, Western Flying Skull, had sneaked away before the police arrived. The butler suspected that some ghosts had killed Wang Hai, but since raising ghosts was inherently superstitious, he knew the police wouldn't believe him and chose to keep it to himself.
Once the police identified their target, they immediately launched an investigation. After reviewing surveillance footage from nearby cameras, they finally located me at the Buddhist Artifact Shop.
Standing at the entrance of the Buddhist Artifact Shop, just about to pull out my keys to unlock the door, I heard the Armed Police Commander shout from nearby: "All units be advised, target has appeared! Target has appeared! This individual is extremely dangerous; if he resists, you are authorized to shoot! All units prepare for immediate arrest!"
With that command, a team of armed police officers surged forward from all directions. Their guns were aimed at my head. Two officers rushed behind me, grabbing my arms and forcing me down onto the ground.
"Officer, what are you doing? I haven't committed any crime! Why are you arresting me?" As I was swiftly taken down by the officers, it took me a moment to process what was happening; I was utterly bewildered.
The officers remained expressionless and did not respond to my questions. They handcuffed me and placed a black hood over my head.
The Armed Police Commander never expected to capture me so easily. Coming back to his senses, he gestured to the other officers and said, "Target apprehended! All units retreat, escort team prepare. We are now transporting the target to the nearest police station for custody!"
The group of armed police retreated in an orderly fashion, and before the surrounding onlookers could comprehend what was happening, they had already vanished.
"How did the police take Jiang Ling away? This is strange!" Jin Yuan stood among the crowd, holding a bag of barbecue she had intended to give me. Just as she arrived at the scene, she witnessed my capture. Frowning, she turned away from the crowd and muttered, "Jiang Ling is a cash cow; I can't let anything happen to him. It seems I need to use some connections to get Jiang Ling out!"
My head was covered with a black cloth, preventing me from seeing outside. I only knew that I was being taken into a vehicle, which then drove forward continuously.
"Could it be because of Wang Hai that they're coming after me?" I recalled recent events and began to piece things together. However, since I hadn't killed Wang Hai, I calmed down and wasn't as panicked as before.
