“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Quite a stash you've got here.”
Yin Yang looked at Night-Stalker's collection and sighed with genuine admiration.
Not long ago, Night-Stalker had finally broken under torture and revealed an address.
Seeing this, the other two True Knowledge Society Demigods didn't hold out either. They proactively gave up the locations of their hidden goods to avoid a beating.
Only Ghost Tiger didn't have a single cent to his name.
Yin Yang didn't press him. He sent the blade-wielding ghost to the locations mentioned by the other three and retrieved a significant amount of items.
What Night-Stalker had hidden was a bundle. Although it didn't contain any transcendent items, it held some gold notes and a bone badge.
That badge could prove Night-Stalker's identity. Yin Yang planned to use it for his trade with Ye Muchun.
“What conflict do you have with Ye Muchun? Why did you want to kill him?”
Night-Stalker looked a bit confused, as if he couldn't recall who Ye Muchun was.
“The boss of the Wang City underground trade.”
Only then did a look of realization dawn on Night-Stalker's face. He gestured with one hand for a while, and Yin Yang nodded.
“You took a fancy to something of his and asked for it, but he wouldn't give it to you, so you planned to kill him and keep the goods.”
“Mm, not bad. That fits my stereotype of you people perfectly.”
Yin Yang gave Night-Stalker a thumbs-up, then summoned the lantern-carrying ghost and stuffed all the gold notes inside it.
Seeing the lantern-carrying ghost, Night-Stalker couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Whether it was the blade-wielding ghost or the lantern-carrying ghost, both held a powerful deterrent force against Yin souls like them.
Yin Yang then looked through the stashes of the other two. They also consisted of gold notes and some miscellaneous items.
“Tell me, you're supposed to be Demigods, yet the three of you combined don't have as many gold notes as two organ traffickers.”
As he spoke, Yin Yang pulled out a small bottle. This was from Tuoba's stash.
“Hmm?”
What was this?
Yin Yang looked at Tuoba, who gestured in response.
“Oh, a promotion potion for the Killer pathway.”
He shook the bottle. Hearing the liquid sloshing inside, he couldn't help but chuckle.
“Too bad it's only Sequence 9.”
Regardless of the pathway, Sequence 9 promotion potions weren't worth much. Some Sequence 9 potions didn't even require transcendent materials.
As long as one met the requirements of the corresponding pathway, they could become a transcendent just by drinking the potion.
The most representative of this was the Scholar pathway. If a high-sequence powerhouse performed Enlightenment on them, they could even become Sequence 9 without drinking a promotion potion at all.
Yin Yang set the potion aside, planning to sell it in Wanxiang City later. After all, even a mosquito's leg is meat.
He continued to rummage through the pile of junk, hoping to find something he could use.
For example, tokens from Tuoba and the other Demigod. What if he ran into another sucker like Ye Muchun?
But as he searched, he noticed Tuoba and the others were looking at him with strange expressions. Even the blade-wielding ghost had a peculiar look on its face.
Following their gaze, Yin Yang turned around to see that Canned Food had somehow opened the potion bottle and licked it clean.
“Huh?”
Yin Yang was startled and rushed over to check on the cat.
He didn't care about the promotion potion itself, as it wasn't worth much money.
But if a cat drank a promotion potion without meeting the prerequisites, it would die!
For example, a promotion potion was essentially a type of poison, and the prerequisite was the antibody for that poison.
Only when your antibodies were strong enough to withstand the poison could you absorb it after drinking.
This was why one couldn't drink potions from other pathways—the antibodies were different.
If a scholar who had studied hard for ten years drank a Sequence 9 Killer promotion potion, they would likely be bleeding from all seven orifices and dead within a minute.
“Spit it out!”
Yin Yang pried open Canned Food's mouth. The cat thought Yin Yang was playing with it and batted at him with its paws.
“Wait?”
Yin Yang actually felt a transcendent aura from Canned Food. In other words, Canned Food had already completed the promotion for the Killer pathway, which was why it was fine after drinking the potion.
“What are the promotion requirements for the Killer pathway?”
Yin Yang turned to Tuoba, who gestured again.
“Hunt one of your own kind once?”
Hearing this, Yin Yang's expression turned a bit strange as he looked at the scar on the bridge of Canned Food's nose.
He really hadn't expected that this cat, who did nothing but devour cat food like a beast, actually had a feline life on its hands.
“Meow~”
Canned Food let out another cry, stretched, and leaped toward the sofa.
But with this jump, it almost hit the ceiling. Even the cat was stunned, flailing its limbs in mid-air.
Yin Yang caught it and tapped its forehead.
“Congratulations. You're a transcendent cat now. Get used to the changes in your body first.”
“Sequence 9 of the Killer pathway... I remember they're good at using weapons and hiding themselves. What are the weaknesses?”
Yin Yang looked at Tuoba once more, who gestured repeatedly.
“Oh, I see. The weakness is that the eyes become extremely sensitive. Daylight will be very piercing for you, so you'll need to wear sunglasses. At night, the light will look to you just like it did during the day.”
“Meow~”
Canned Food seemed very excited. After sprinting a few laps around the flower shop, it became familiar with its current body.
“Meow~”
It walked to the flower shop door and scratched at it, indicating it wanted to go out and go on a rampage.
“You're going now?”
“Meow!”
Yin Yang stepped forward and opened the door.
“Be careful. This is Meng City. If your transcendent aura is discovered, it'll be a lot of trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Canned Food had already bolted out. With two leaps, it vanished into the darkness, its transcendent aura gradually fading away.
Yin Yang watched this scene in a daze, murmuring softly to himself.
“Felines... they really are natural-born killers.”
...
Command Center.
In front of the map.
“Hahaha! You scumbags, let's see where you run this time!”
Su Baadao pulled out his phone, found Wang Gen's number, and dialed it.
“Hello?”
“I found a True Knowledge Society stronghold. You coming?”
“I'm in! When?”
“Now!”
“I can be at the Command Center within ten minutes. Do we need anyone else?”
“No need. Quality over quantity. We're going to catch them completely off guard this time!”
“Good!”
Su Baadao hung up, the expression on his face growing increasingly savage.
“Bastards, trying to screw me over just when I'm about to be transferred? Did you think it would be over after a few Demigods died?”
“Heh, if I don't teach you a lesson, won't every random cat and dog think they can mess with Su Baadao in the future?”
Seven minutes later, the screech of brakes echoed in front of the Command Center.
The security guards at the entrance bowed hurriedly upon seeing the license plate. Before they could even offer a greeting, they saw Su Baadao walk out of the building and head straight into the pickup truck.
The two men didn't say a word the entire time. By the time the guards realized what was happening, the truck's taillights were already fading into the distance.
“Where... where are they going?”
“Shh, just act like you didn't see anything!”
“Yes, sir.”
