Chapter 42 Empty
When Ning Xuan came out, she had already replaced herself with a puppet that she had traded from Yun Xi and was staying in the room.
This puppet is magical; it requires spiritual energy to maintain its operation. Yunxi gave Ningxuan a mid-grade spirit stone. If it's just walking and talking, without using any basic spells, it won't consume much spiritual energy.
If used daily, a mid-grade spirit stone can last for at least a year.
Moreover, Ning Xuan doesn't use it every day. She'll take the spirit stone off when she gets back, so she can use the puppet for a long time.
She had just listened to Zhang Youde's account, but hadn't listened to Zhang Qiang's yet. She planned to find a place to listen to Zhang Qiang's recording first, just in case there were other girls trapped like Jiang Xiaohong.
So Ning Xuan said to Jiang Xiaohong, "I still have things to do. I'll help you upstairs first. Can you stay in your room for a while? I'll come back to pick you up before dawn."
The cellar had never been cleaned and actually smelled very bad. Ning Xuan couldn't bear to let Jiang Xiaohong stay there any longer.
Jiang Xiaohong was actually a little scared, but Ning Xuan told her that Zhang Qiang and Zhang Youde wouldn't be coming tonight, so Jiang Xiaohong agreed.
After choosing a room and having Jiang Xiaohong lock it from the inside, she didn't actually go far away. She went to another room, used a soundproof sheet, and then started listening to Zhang Qiang's recording.
The crimes were similar to Zhang Youde's, and the only one imprisoned was Jiang Xiaohong, because Jiang Xiaohong was too beautiful.
Once she was sure there were no trapped girls, Ning Xuan noted down the places where Zhang Qiang and his son had hidden their money, and then used an invisibility talisman to prepare to empty those places.
Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, Zhang Qiang and his son secretly occupied several houses, storing the money they had plundered. Fortunately, they were all located within the county town area, not too far from here.
Ning Xuan ran to five places in one go, and quickly put all her money into her storage ring at each place.
Fortunately, the storage ring was much larger than the storage bag. Especially the one Yunxi gave her, although it was also called a beginner level, it was very big inside. Ning Xuan couldn't even estimate how big it was. It should be bigger than a basketball court and also very tall, probably about three stories high.
However, the wealth that Zhang Qiang and his son had collected was truly astonishing. Ning Xuan didn't have time to sort it all out and simply put it directly into her storage ring. After collecting it from five different places, the wealth in her storage ring was piled up like a small mountain.
Even though Ning Xuan was very fast, it still took her more than two hours to finish collecting everything, and dawn was getting closer and closer.
Ning Xuan sent a trade message to Katerina in the magic dimension.
Can I trade this bracelet for two bottles of Puppet Potions?
However, Katerina didn't reply immediately. It wasn't until Lin Xuan arrived at the Zhang family's house that Katerina finally replied that she could.
Ning Xuan exchanged two strings of crystals for two bottles of puppet potion.
Her puppet potion and Yunxi's puppet have similar functions, but they are also very different.
The puppet given by Yunxi will automatically transform into Ningxuan's appearance after Ningxuan binds it to her with her blood. It will then perform simple activities according to Ningxuan's instructions, such as walking and greeting others.
As for Katerina's puppet potion, each dose contains one mother potion and one child potion, like a mother-child worm. The person who takes the mother potion can control the person who drinks the child potion.
To express her gratitude for the beautiful diamond ring Ning Xuan had given her last time, Katerina felt that she had gotten a good deal by giving her the basic truth potion.
Therefore, the high-grade puppet potion that Caitlina specially gave this time has a duration of up to one month.
Ning Xuan almost jumped up when she saw the description of the advanced puppet potion.
This is amazing! It's like God is helping me!
Ning Xuan discovered this Puppet Potion among a bunch of potions that Katerina randomly distributed last time. There were too many at the time, and she didn't have time to carefully examine the effects of each potion.
Knowing that she was going to deal with Zhang Qiang and his group tonight, Ning Xuan quickly turned around to check if there were any usable potions.
Without further hesitation, Ning Xuan went to Zhang Qiang and his son's room and gave them both the puppet potion.
Then, inexplicably, Ning Xuan felt a connection between herself and these two people, and could clearly sense their thoughts. At this moment, both of them were being tormented by nightmares.
Ning Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the control formula for drinking the mother medicine could cut off the perception of the child medicine user.
Ning Xuan quickly cut off her senses. Even after cutting off her senses, she would not lose control over the two people and would still be able to sense their states, but she would not be able to sense their emotions.
This is really amazing.
As for the money and valuables hidden here by the Zhang family, Ning Xuan did not take them away. When Uncle Hat comes, he can still seize some of them.
Compared to what she took, what the Zhang family had hidden was insignificant, and taking it all would only arouse suspicion.
Having completed the most crucial step, Ning Xuan hurried to the courtyard where Jiang Xiaohong was. Before getting there, Ning Xuan was somewhat conflicted.
Should they use the face-changing pill given by Yunxi to change their face, or use the props traded in the modern world to disguise themselves?
After taking the Face-Changing Pill, imagine the image you want to become in your mind. If you can figure it out within 3 minutes, you can become that image. Even your gender, height, and voice can be completely changed. The effect lasts for 12 hours, or 24 hours, and you can only wait for the effect to wear off on its own.
If she does her own makeup, she can easily revert to her original appearance, but she needs to be careful about her voice.
After thinking about it for a while, Ning Xuan decided to do her own makeup. She planned to finish as soon as possible and go back, feeling that using the Face-Changing Pill would be a waste.
So Ning Xuan took out the kind of plastic mask, plastic hand mask, and wig she used for filming, and then applied some to her teeth, quickly giving herself an old-age makeup look.
After finishing her makeup, Ning Xuan returned to the small courtyard and then deactivated her invisibility talisman. After using the invisibility talisman, she could see herself, but others could not.
Ning Xuan knocked on the door of the room where Jiang Xiaohong was and told Jiang Xiaohong that she was sent there by a girl.
Jiang Xiaohong opened the door after hearing this. It was already slightly dawn. Ning Xuan's idea was to take Jiang Xiaohong back to her home when there were fewer people around in the morning, and then explain to Jiang's family about Jiang Xiaohong's injury and amnesia.
Ning Xuan first exchanged statements with Jiang Xiaohong, and at this time Ning Xuan also learned Jiang Xiaohong's full name and family information.
As Jiang Xiaohong stepped out of the courtyard, she looked at the familiar surroundings and immediately choked up. At the same time, she felt even more hatred for Zhang Qiang and his son. They had actually imprisoned her near her home, just across the street.
After hearing Jiang Xiaohong's explanation that her house was just across the street, Ning Xuan was furious. Zhang Qiang and his son were truly scum! They deserved to die!
