Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Asking the Immortals in the Underworld (End)

”Miss Chuzheng, do you have any clues?”

Su Tiyue asked beside her.

”No.”

The spiritual value fluctuations of this thing were too low, how could she have any clues?

Spiritual value can be regarded as a type of energy.

This is the best method to locate unknown creatures.

The unregistered presence she had just seen had no host body.

In the air, unknown creatures are invisible—they can’t be seen at all—without a host body, unknown creatures are still aggressive.

”...” Su Tiyue inhaled softly, ”Then, Miss Chuzheng, what’s your plan?”

Even she couldn’t find it...

Deep down, Su Tiyue felt a growing anxiety, feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Chuzheng spoke casually: ”Wait.”

She had looked over the entire estate and found nothing unusual. Either the unregistered presence had finished its business and run off, or it was hiding itself using some special power.

Either way, it was too much trouble for her to go looking for it.

So...

”Will it come out?” Hu Shuo, standing to the side, was shivering severely, still somewhat unable to digest everything: ”Would the gentleman be in danger?”

”If he’s in danger, that would only mean his luck is bad.”

Hu Shuo’s eyes widened: ”Miss Chuzheng, I hired you to protect the gentleman.”

”Oh, is that so.”

Chuzheng’s lighthearted tone made Hu Shuo’s heart beat irregularly.

He looked towards Su Tiyue as if for rescue.

Su Tiyue was powerless, they all said she lacked a spirit of commitment, turning her face at the slightest provocation.

”Miss Chuzheng, may I have a word with you, please?”

Chuzheng looked at Hu Shuo with a blank expression.

Hu Shuo: ”???”

-

Chuzheng stood in front of the game pod, looking down at the blurry figure inside it.

Su Tiyue stood beside her, her gentle face showing a touch of seriousness.

”Miss Chuzheng, have you noticed anything unusual recently?”

Chuzheng’s tone was calm and indifferent: ”When hasn’t there been something unusual?”

”No...” Su Tiyue’s mouth twitched slightly: ”I mean, have you noticed anything off about these unknown creatures?”

”No.” Unknown creatures have never been right, causing trouble every day.

Su Tiyue frowned, her eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses growing increasingly somber: ”Miss Chuzheng, I’m not joking with you. We’ve found that the number of unknown creatures inhabiting humans has been increasing lately.”

Although unknown creatures liked to inhabit human bodies, it wasn’t that easy.

Therefore, the number of possessions was actually not that high.

In the past, they would not receive more than 10 abnormal reports in a month.

But now, the numbers are multiplying.

”Oh.” Chuzheng didn’t seem to care: ”What does it have to do with me?”

It’s not like I told them to live inside human bodies.

”Miss Chuzheng, I’m asking if you’ve noticed these abnormalities?”

Chuzheng was direct: ”No.”

”...”

Su Tiyue was not convinced.

The conversation failed, and knowing Chuzheng was difficult to deal with, Su Tiyue didn’t press further.

If she truly didn’t want to talk, no amount of questioning would yield results.

There were no abnormalities overnight.

The unknown creature didn’t appear.

Chuzheng clocked out on time after eight hours.

Hu Shuo wanted to keep her there, but unfortunately, Chuzheng was a person who stuck to her principles.

She said she would work for eight hours, and she worked for exactly eight hours, not a second of overtime.

On the way back, Chuzheng refused Hu Shuo’s offer to give her a ride.

She walked down the streets lined with tall buildings, accompanied by her robot, with various robots visible everywhere on the street.

”Master, that one looks so powerful. When will you get me one like that?” The robot, looking at the tall and mighty robots on the street, longed for one.

Chuzheng showed no mercy in her refusal, ”No money.”

The little robot sat on Chuzheng’s shoulder, huffing angrily, ”Why did I end up with an owner like you? You don’t even give me a decent body to use, you’re abusing robots!!”

The more the robot talked, the sadder it got, whimpering ceaselessly in Chuzheng’s ear.

Chuzheng grabbed it, quickly squishing it into a glass ball shape, and stuffed it into her pocket, instantly bringing silence to her surroundings.

Chuzheng’s shoulder was suddenly bumped.

The bumper was a woman. Seeing Chuzheng, her face revealed a hint of terror; she lowered her head and quickly vanished into the crowd.

Chuzheng watched thoughtfully in the direction the woman disappeared.

Chuzheng returned to Wenxian Road.

It was daytime now, and only a few scattered shops were open, leaving the street looking desolate and empty; occasionally, children ran across, laughing and playing.

Upon encountering Chuzheng head-on, the children shrank back timidly, bowing to her before scampering to the side.

”Girl, why are you scaring my children again?!”

Someone immediately shouted.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Do I really look that frightening, or what?

Chuzheng glared fiercely at the children, and they instantly howled, scrambling back to their parents.

Yellow Springs Road didn’t seem so creepy and terrifying in daylight.

The door of the neighboring shop was open. Chuzheng went over and knocked, and without waiting for a response, she walked right in.

”Hey, girl.” The uncle slurped his noodles, ”Have you eaten?”

The uncle appeared a bit unkempt but, upon closer inspection, quite handsome with his neat mustache and sharp eyes.

Chuzheng sat down opposite him, ”Not yet.”

The uncle wiped his mouth and turned to ladle out a bowl of noodles for her: ”Here, eat up.”

Chuzheng didn’t stand on ceremony.

”Wenxian Road has been a bit unsettled lately.” The uncle started talking, ”You’ve been mysteriously absent; haven’t seen you much, did something happen?”

”Personal business.” Chuzheng clenched her teeth with resentment in her heart, Bastard, that damn thing, ”What kind of unrest?”

”Oh.” The uncle sucked up a mouthful of noodles, ”Recently, there’ve been people hanging around, acting all suspicious and stealthy, not sure what they’re up to. We are all honest businesspeople here...”

Chuzheng looked at him with a wistful gaze, ”You’re evading taxes.” How honest can you be, bragging about that? Got any shame?

The uncle glared at Chuzheng, ”Small business, what taxes to pay, have you paid any?!”

Chuzheng lowered her head and continued eating her noodles, pretending not to hear.

The uncle snorted and went on, ”Just recently, someone was loitering around your shop’s doorway...”

Suspicious...

Hu Shuo’s people?

Hu Shuo always came alone; she hadn’t seen him bring anyone along.

If not Hu Shuo’s people, then who could it be?

After finishing her noodles, Chuzheng went back to her own shop.

Two paper dolls sat primly at the table, looking like children waiting for dinner.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng ignored them and shuffled upstairs.

The paper dolls by the table turned their heads simultaneously, watching Chuzheng ascend. Their big red lips seemed redder than before, the arcs pulled wider.

A chilling eeriness flowed in the air.

Thump, thump, thump...

Chuzheng went downstairs and in a flash, faced the paper dolls’ creepy smiles.

Mommy!

Who are you trying to scare to death?!

Chuzheng took a deep breath, calmed herself, and went downstairs. She picked up one paper doll in each hand, stuffed one into a cabinet, and threw the other onto the chandelier.

After finishing, Chuzheng took out the robot.

Without Chuzheng needing to say anything, the virtual screen automatically unfolded, and rows of text appeared—
