I was slightly taken aback.

[Hey, are you going to offer your services here again?]

The other party is entering

[Okay, I'll come visit you after this month!]

[I'll be spending many, many days with you this time!]

I'm actually very curious, why don't White Rabbit's parents care about her?

Logically speaking, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl should be kept away from going out by her parents.

But White Rabbit's parents didn't seem to care about this.

White Rabbit has never mentioned her parents to me.

I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[Okay, this time you need to tell me, and I'll come pick you up.]

[Uh-huh! ]

[Sister, if you have time, could you take me to the amusement park?]

I couldn't help but smile as I looked at the white rabbit's request.

No matter what, she's still a child.

Okay, I'll make time to go with you.

[May I invite another older sister along then?]

A few seconds later

[It's a pinky promise then, pinky swear, a hundred years from now, whoever changes their mind is a long-nosed person!]

[Okay, okay.]

I don't know why, but I feel a strange sense of closeness to this little girl.

We have no intimate relationship whatsoever, and we've only met twice.

But I always felt that this girl had the shadow of the girl I longed for when I was a child.

Independent, with their own opinions and thoughts.

After putting down my phone and thinking that I had nothing else to do, I went back inside to continue studying the talismans.

Last time, my Fire Control and Soul Capture Talisman successfully activated the Fire Spirit, which made me have even higher expectations for talismans.

I've always felt that I have some inexplicable connection with talismans.

I learn spells much faster than others.

I don't know if it's my talent or the effort I've put in.

I don't know how much time passed, but I gradually became immersed in it.

The combinations of talismans are far more numerous than those mentioned in the book.

The master said that there are many factors that can activate the fire spirit in the Fire Control and Soul Capture Talisman, such as timing, state, and the opportunity for the bracelet to play its role.

Not everyone who uses it can activate the Fire Spirit.

Not everyone can successfully draw the Fire Control and Soul Capture Talisman.

In terms of rank, the Fire Control and Soul-Capturing Talisman is comparable to high-level talismans because it lays a permanent foundation for oneself.

Once a fire spirit matures, it becomes much more flexible than any cultivation technique.

(Knock knock knock)

A knock sounded on the door

"Xiao Xi, I'm coming in."

It's Master.

"Master, the door is unlocked, please come in."

When I saw my master push the door open and come in, I stood up.

"Xiao Xi, I have something to tell you. Be prepared, we might need to go to Tianning City again in a few days."

I frowned slightly and murmured, "Tianning City, was it the first mission we went on together, the one with Li Xue?"

The master nodded: "Yes, that's it. Do you remember that boss, Sun Mengcai, from last time?"

“I remember, that guy wasn’t a good person,” I replied angrily.

The master said in a deep voice, "That Sun Mengcai is dead."

I was somewhat surprised: "What? He's dead?"

I find it hard to believe. He was perfectly fine just six months ago, how could he just die like that?

"Yes, he is indeed dead. Just yesterday, Sun Mengcai died suddenly at home without warning. His heart was even ripped out."

"There were no eyewitnesses at the scene; it was Sun Mengcai's female secretary who called the police."

I still remember Sun Mengcai's female secretary; she was a woman with a curvaceous figure and was very beautiful.

"I heard that the statement taken by the police was provided by that female secretary."

“Their company had an important meeting the next day, and the female secretary called Sun Mengcai several times but no one answered.”

"His female secretary had no choice but to drive to his house to pick him up, only to find Sun Mengcai dead in bed, naked."

"There was a big hole dug in his heart."

I was a little confused: "Why would that female secretary have a key to Sun Mengcai's room?"

The master was taken aback after hearing this, then coughed lightly: "Ahem, in short, this matter is quite tricky, and the police may not be able to handle it well."

"This matter has a significant impact and may very well alarm the special task force."

“Z Province does not have a Taoist Association branch, only the Paranormal Investigation Bureau. They will likely send us there to assist in the investigation.”

As soon as I asked the question, I regretted it. Did I even need to think about it? It's perfectly normal for the female secretary to have a key. Yes, it's perfectly normal!

"Master, do you think evil spirits killed him?"

"Can't it be a human being?"

The master shook his head: "I've seen the case photos sent by the Paranormal Investigation Bureau. His wound was caused by someone forcefully stabbing him with their bare hand!"

"What normal person could stab someone through the chest?"

"Furthermore, I also saw the surveillance footage around the villa. A dark figure appeared in the video, but disappeared in just a moment."

"No normal person could move at that speed."

I also think it's unlikely. If it was pierced directly by someone's hand, the possibility of it being human is almost zero.

Unless one can cultivate their hands into weapons like Jiang Huai-ren.

That's obviously unrealistic; it mainly depends on the motive for the murder.

After all, if you want to kill someone, there's no need to dig out their heart, right?

"Since the surveillance cameras can capture it, it probably isn't a ghost, since ghosts don't have shadows and surveillance cameras can't capture them," I suggested.

The master sighed: "Alas, yes, so this time the opponent is neither human nor ghost."
