his time, brain waves are at a wakeful amplitude, easily producing half-dream and half-awake hallucinations. However, the muscle tension of the whole body drops to the lowest point, so low that even t...I felt uneasy and asked my ninth senior brother to follow the car. The city roads had many traffic lights, making it relatively easy to follow. However, the luxury car in front kept cutting lanes aggressively.

Most people are also unwilling to compete with luxury cars on the road. If there's a slight fender bender, they have to pay a large sum of money, so they subconsciously avoid those luxury cars.

"Little sister, this car seems to be heading towards the suburbs. Don't you still have someone to pick up Should we continue following It's unnecessary..." Ninth Senior Brother advised.

"How is that not necessary! That thief looks so familiar to me! And she's actually with my substitute teacher! How can I rest assured! I have to get to the bottom of this!" I anxiously rubbed my hands together.

The ninth senior brother soothed, "Don't worry, you don't have to track him yourself. When we get to the suburbs, there will be fewer cars and we'll be more exposed. We might scare him off and he could lead us on a wild goose chase."

"This..." it is indeed possible.

"Now that Heaven's Net is vast and meticulous, it wouldn't be difficult for Big Brother to leverage his connections or for Master Abbot to use his authority to track down the whereabouts of this vehicle. If we alert them prematurely, it might make things harder to investigate."

"What should I do then Just give up like that Today when I saw Professor Ou Haichen, I felt he wasn't just an ordinary substitute teacher... All the students in school were crazy about him. He was handsome, young, talented, and rich. It turns out there was another side to him that no one knew about..."

The ninth senior brother let out a sneer and said, "Someone who looks so refined and handsome on the surface might be completely different behind closed doors! Little junior sister, you should be careful who you trust."

As we were talking, the Maserati ahead suddenly darted forward as soon as the green light came on.

The performance of a luxury car is incomparable to an ordinary car. Even though we were separated by a few vehicles, the Maserati was already gone without a trace when we passed the intersection on the opposite side.

"Well, if I had known this earlier, I would have driven our family car. Master brother said to be low-key and not draw attention when picking you up, so I drove an ordinary small car. I can't catch up with them at all... Now I can just give up and head home." Ninth Brother sighed.

Although Ah Liang was quite naive to the outside world, he was quite clever. When passing through a toll booth, he asked for directions and drove nervously all the way to the edge of our city. He didn't know how to get around town, so he used paper figures to ask me. I immediately went to find him with my ninth senior brother.

When the lanterns first lit up, I finally got a hold of Ah Liang. My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled back into place.

We didn't linger on the roadside because Ah Liang was hungry.

“I haven't eaten anything all day, little princess,” he said pitifully.

"Aren't there supermarkets at toll booths and rest stops on the highway You wouldn't go in to buy anything"

"I have to guard the car! I wouldn't dare leave my vehicle even a step. I even pee next to it!" He pouted and said confidently.

Then you're amazing, I silently rolled my eyes.

If he comes to my house, I'll definitely provide food and lodging. I'll make sure he eats well and sleeps comfortably; I won't treat him poorly.

He also seemed to enjoy life outside, greeting my sisters first when he came to my house - he knew who was in charge of the food.

"My little princess, hmm… those things in the carriage… hmm… let me move them into the yard for you… hmm…”

"...Don't rush, can you finish eating first and then talk"

He nodded, puffing out his cheeks.

We had all finished our meals, but he was still eating with gusto, not wanting to waste a single dish.

After everyone else finished eating, they politely bowed to the eldest brother and left. I moved beside the eldest brother and whispered to him that one of our teachers had a problem and asked him to help investigate it.

The eldest brother nodded in agreement and also reminded me to be careful of those unfamiliar people around me.

After all, we just finished fighting the Dragon King, and he still has many minions at large. We're simply too vulnerable to defend against them all.

After dinner, Aling said he wanted to move some things from the garage. I took him down to the basement. He exclaimed, "Your Highness, you don't know this, the Witch King specifically ordered me not to give these things to anyone else, fearing they would be coveted by others. So I dare not leave at all, even going to the bathroom—"

"Are you all by the car Do you need to emphasize that again and again Shame on you..." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Hee hee," Ah Liang chuckled. "I've learned my lesson now. The first time I went out to Zun's hometown, I got into a fight and was arrested. That's when I realized that even fighting isn't allowed outside! The world is going downhill!"

"What You're saying that if we don't allow fighting, the world will go to ruin Did you get your words mixed up" I widened my eyes in disbelief.

Of course! A country without its people, without blood ties, is just a bunch of sheep! They will be bullied by foreign nations!

"Wake up, the times have changed. Countries don't settle their disputes with fists anymore, they use buttons. One button press, BOOM, it's over. If that doesn't work, just press a few more."

"What button"

"I'll give you another lesson some other day. Just bring your things over here." I waved my hand helplessly.

A-Liang brought something, a gilded mahogany box in a dark red hue.

The wooden box was heavy and somber, adorned with simple and understated gold accents. On top was a seal made of paper talismans and a jade lock.

Such a lock is just an ornament, and can be smashed with force. It's obvious that the box's lock is sealed by those talismanic paper strips.

This box wasn't big or small, it looked about the size of a computer monitor. Alen struggled to carry it by himself and finally managed to get it on the ground.

"May I ask my senior brother to come and help" I asked.

"No, no, the King of Witches said we can't let anyone else touch it!"

Can't even touch it That's so strict

"Then…" I looked around and found the trailer in the corner of the garage against the wall.

"Use the dolly, bring it up here." I pulled the small dolly over.

It took us a great deal of effort to drag this treasure chest to the front of my house.

This thing is not very big, but it's really heavy! No wonder Mu Wanchen said: It can't be brought, it needs to be transported.

I think this box weighs at least a hundred kilograms. It took so much effort to get it into my small apartment building. I looked at the wooden stairs on the second floor and shook my head. "Forget it, let's just open it here and close the door."

A Liang immediately turned back to shut the door, then checked the windows, rubbing his hands excitedly and saying, "Little princess, should I go out and help you keep watch I should stay away from this, oh dear, I really want to see..."

"So, are you going out or staying to watch" I really couldn't believe him.

“Well, then let’s just take a look. Don't tell the Shaman King about this, alright"

I couldn't care less about him. I lowered my head and looked at the talismans. The patterns on them had "ghost" symbols, along with some suppressing characters.

Talismans have a system. Ordinary people say they can't understand them, calling them ghost drawings, but in fact, every incantation has a pattern to follow.

Just like the radicals of Chinese characters, combining them together forms different words.

The symbol is the same.

"...Is this a charm for attracting wealth from the underworld Why is it stuck here" I muttered to myself.

"This is a talisman for protection, not wealth." Ah Liang corrected me.

I carefully peeled back the charm, and another one seemed to be a curse—it looked unsettling at first glance.. Many villages are left with only the elderly and children. Young people go out to work, making them seem deserted.The lively atmosphere of the village, once so vibrant, is fading away. Even at this...
