Chapter 21 The Demands of the Guile Merchants
The old lady's son, the frail man.
Probably when the horrible apocalypse came, they were all eaten up by the big and small monsters in this room.
Judging from the peaceful and intact appearance of his corpse, he must have been so weak when he was alive that he didn't even have the strength to resist...
Weirdness doesn't cry.
But at this moment, Mu Jiu could sense the deep sadness in the old lady's expression...
Strike while the iron is hot, Mu Jiu took out a piece of yellow paper from his bag and burned it with a lighter in front of the old lady's translucent soul.
This is a skill I learned from other people in the base in my previous life!
By doing this, you can communicate with the dying Gui Shang and say a few words to him.
Only by understanding what they really want and their unfulfilled wishes can we prescribe the right remedy and complete the transaction efficiently!
[Old lady, do you have any last wishes? Please tell me and I will do my best to fulfill them!]
Mu Jiu used his consciousness to speak to the old lady.
The old lady obviously didn't expect that someone would talk to her, and she raised her head to look at Mu Jiu.
【Anything is fine?】
【certainly! 】
In the horrific apocalypse, is there anything more difficult than wanting to live a peaceful life?
"I was widowed at a young age, raising this child alone. We depended on each other for survival. Who could have known that he would die before me..."
He has never suffered in his life.
Now that he's gone, he'll have no money when he gets there. What will he do...?
"I can no longer do anything for him. I'd like you to burn some money for him on my behalf."
Thank you! Thank you!
After saying that, the old lady bowed to Mu Jiu with half of her body hanging in the air.
Mu Jiu was silent, what a great motherly love.
She took care of her son all her life and never forgot to ensure a stable future for him until her death.
But she knew that her son had been staying by her side, saving her life, was it for her pension?
Mu Jiu doesn't say much.
Since we are all going to die, the truth is of course not that important.
Her goal was to please the Gui merchants so that she could trade with them.
[Okay, of course.]
Then, Mu Jiu took out a complete set of paper-made items from the space.
From large villas with gardens and swimming pools to private jets, cruise ships, RVs, cars, and off-road vehicles.
Then there was a closet full of beautiful clothes, several large boxes of gold ingots, and several beautiful women in bikinis.
It filled the old lady’s entire ward.
[Old lady, I've prepared everything for your son. You can finally rest assured! ]
[Come, tell me your son's name and date of birth, and I'll burn it directly for him!]
Alvin was already used to it, but when he saw Xiao Huang for the first time, his jaw dropped!
So many things suddenly appeared. Was it because he was dazzled by the weirdness and spent them?
"Xiao Huang, block the smoke alarm in the ward. I'm going to burn the paper figurines on the balcony."
Xiao Huang, who was called, couldn't believe his ears, "Oh, oh, okay!"
He stood on a chair and plugged the smoke alarms in the ward and bathroom with toilet paper.
Then, Mu Jiu took out a large brass brazier from somewhere...
Alvin quickly stepped forward to help and moved the realistic-looking villa plane to the balcony and burned it.
The room was full of paper-made things, which burned for half an hour, and the billowing smoke blackened the ceiling of the ward balcony.
If it weren't for the time being too tight, Mu Jiu wouldn't have dared to take the risk of burning paper indoors. If it was accidentally ignited, no one would have an easy time!
But fortunately it ended smoothly.
I watched with my own eyes as the old lady's soul separated from her body and dissipated into the air.
The dragon-patterned buckle on Mu Jiu's index finger glowed faintly red, and she immediately noticed the changes in the space.
A second bright red totem appeared on one of the thirty-three wordless monuments!
Beep—a familiar voice sounded:
[Dear Master, congratulations on unlocking the new Talisman Totem! ]
[This talisman is the Earth Mother Talisman - Earth Spirit Talisman. It can be used with talisman paper to activate earth-based skills.]
Mu Jiu listened to the voice in his head and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The supernatural talisman! Here it comes!
In his previous life, Mu Jiu never awakened his superpowers, but fortunately he was protected by the jade ring.
In the eyes of those people with special abilities, she, Mu Jiu, was just a Muggle waste, even though she was just as good at killing monsters as those people.
It was not until the space was developed that those people regarded her as a person with spatial abilities and included her in their ranks.
"Sister Mu Jiu, are you okay?"
Ivan's voice rang out, bringing Mu Jiu back to reality.
"Well, I'm fine. Is there anything wrong with you?" Mu Jiu asked as she looked at her hesitant look.
"My mother is in the ward upstairs. I want to go see her..."
"Silly girl, why didn't you say so earlier!" Mu Jiu put his arm around Ivan's shoulders and walked towards the stairs.
Mu Jiu suddenly remembered something and turned around to say to Xiao Huang behind him:
"Xiao Huang, just stay here and wait. We'll be back soon."
Xiao Huang was frightened by Mu Jiu's sudden turn and almost bumped into him.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at the nurses' station!"
"Okay, but there are bodies at the nurses' station. You can move them away."
After watching Mu Jiu enter the stairwell, Xiao Huang finally understood what Mu Jiu meant...
Inside the nurses' station, there were mummies, all of whom were former colleagues.
Xiao Huang calmed himself down for a long time before suppressing the goosebumps all over his body and moved the body to a place where it could not be seen...
Mu Jiu followed Alvin to the inpatient area on the top floor of the 10th floor. Knowing that Alvin had something to say, he deliberately let Xiao Huang wait there.
On the way, Alvin gave a brief account of his situation.
She originally had a happy family. Her father was a corporate executive and her mother was a forensic doctor.
Seven years ago, my mother helped the police solve a serial murder case.
I don’t know who I offended, but I was retaliated against and got into a car accident and became a vegetable.
So much so that he is still lying in the hospital bed and can't wake up.
Then her family broke up, and like Mu Jiu, she grew up living with relatives.
"I just graduated from college and came to the hospital today to tell my mother that I found a good job. I didn't expect this to happen..."
Alvin said as he killed the monster in front of him.
Mu Jiu didn't see any sadness on her face, but rather an unusual calmness.
He is another child who has been whipped by life to be too strong. He is used to being alone, so it is no wonder that he has such strong endurance.
Mu Jiu didn't say anything and let Alvin talk all the way to the door of her mother's ward.
Surprisingly, her mother's situation at the moment was the same as that of the old lady downstairs, with half of her soul drifting out of her body!
When her mother saw Ivan, joy appeared in her eyes. Maybe she was waiting for her to come!
Mu Jiu didn't delay for a moment and quickly handed a piece of yellow paper and a lighter to Alvin.
“This is your last chance to talk to your mother.
Light it up and you can hear your mother's voice.
I'll help you clean up the weirdness in the room and say goodbye properly!"
