After giving his instructions, Lu Fei took the several ominous objects to the balcony and placed them under the bright sunlight for exposure.
There was a vegetable market nearby, and Hu Zi quickly bought four live roosters back.
"Mr. Guan, you stand further away, don't let these cockroaches touch you."
After giving his warning, Lu Fei had Hu Zi untie one of the live roosters, then threw one of the cockroaches from the jar towards it.
The cockroach's legs and antennae wriggled as it crawled on the ground.
The rooster's eyes lit up, and it darted forward, pecking at the cockroach a few times before swallowing it whole.
Chicken eats insects.
Ordinary methods of killing these live ominous cockroaches are useless; they need to be subdued by their natural predator in order to eliminate the ominous influence.
But less than two seconds after eating the cockroach, the rooster's neck arched, and it collapsed rigidly to the ground.
Dead!
Lu Fei was not surprised.
This malevolent spirit had already killed before, and its malevolence was too strong. Although a rooster could suppress it, the rooster would also die from the malevolence.
Then, he fed the remaining three cockroaches to the other three roosters.
Sure enough.
These three roosters also perished bravely.
Lu Fei asked Hu Zi to collect the dead roosters and cremate them in a secluded place later.
Then, he wrapped up the remaining hemp cloth, incense ash, and paper money, and turned to Guan with a relieved smile.
"Mr. Guan, the problem is thoroughly solved. As long as you renovate the house, everything will be peaceful and safe from now on."
"That's great!"
Guan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that Lu Fei's methods were incredibly magical.
Such a terrifying live evil spirit can be neutralized with just a few roosters.
But although the method is simple, they, as ordinary people, could never have imagined it.
His reverence for this young master grew even more in his heart.
Now that the matter was resolved, it was time to discuss the price.
Xiao Guan coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Manager Lu, I heard from my father that he promised to pawn the house to you. What do you think, how much would be appropriate?"
"There's no need to pawn the house, just pawn this thing to me!" Lu Fei shook the black cloth wrapping the evil object.
Pawning the house to him would only make him a little money, which wasn't very meaningful.
But this object used for casting an evil spell could be considered a malevolent artifact.
"Huh?" Xiao Guan was a bit confused.
"I'm sure you don't want to keep this thing, so I took the liberty of choosing a dead pawn for you."
Lu Fei quickly wrote out the pawn ticket on the coffee table.
"A dead pawn is equivalent to selling these items to me. How much do you want to sell them for?"
"What?"
Xiao Guan was completely dumbfounded.
He had already prepared himself to pay a large gratuity, and he was willing to do so, but Lu Fei did not want money.
"If you can't decide, you can discuss it with your family first and then make a decision," Lu Fei said with a gentle smile.
"Alright, alright, please wait a moment."
Xiao Guan really couldn't make up his mind, so he turned around and called his father. After listening, Old Guan immediately told him to follow Lu Fei's arrangements.
"Master Xu from Shan Yuan Tang specifically instructed that Sinisterium Pawnshop specializes in collecting evil objects. In the eyes of Mr. Lu, money is just waste paper; only evil objects are useful."
"What use could evil objects have?"
"That's beyond our imagination! Don't ask any more questions, whatever Manager Lu says goes!"
After hearing his father's words, Xiaoguan, in a state of trepidation, completed the procedures for the dead pledge with Lu Fei, but he still took out a red envelope he had prepared beforehand, intending to slip it to Lu Fei.
"No need, Mr. Xiaoguan. The malevolent object is enough!"
Lu Fei waved his hand, placed a one-yuan coin on the table, picked up the small black dog and Huzi, and left with a smile.
Staring at their retreating figures, Xiaoguan was lost in thought for a long time.
He thought about how he had previously worried that the other party might demand an exorbitant price; it was truly a petty and laughable concern!
Returning to Sinisterium Pawnshop.
Lu Fei took out the ledger and began to record the transactions.
Mourning Hemp Hanged Malefic.
Malevolent objects +1, total of 27 collected.
"Boss, what's the use of these things?" Hu Zi asked curiously, watching from the side.
"They are evil objects, naturally used for casting evil spells," Lu Fei chuckled, putting them away.
"But weren't those Mahasha spells already broken by us?" Hu Zi was puzzled.
"What was broken was the living curse. The remaining ones can be used to cast a death curse. Although the malevolent energy is not very high, as long as they are combined with this wish stone I have, it will become a walking Mahasha funerary curse." Lu Fei took out a small stone that smelled of incense.
"In the future, if anyone gets on my nerves, I'll give them a Mahasha funerary!"
"How terrifying!"
Hu Zi gasped in shock.
His boss was already hard to provoke, and now who would dare to offend him?
Having finished packing up,
Lu Fei took a nap, then called Mr. Yi, the man who wanted to sell the used car, to ask for the address and headed straight there.
"Manager Lu! I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Did you manage to sort out that second-hand house already? You are truly swift! How about coming up for a cup of tea first?"
Old Yi's home was in a residential compound for teachers.
He was waiting at the entrance, and as soon as Lu Fei appeared, he greeted him warmly.
"No need for formalities, let's go see the car first." Lu Fei waved his hand.
"That would be great!"
This was exactly what he wanted. He quickly led Lu Fei to the parking lot, where a black Mercedes was parked.
The car had ghostly characters on its windows and was now sitting quietly.
"This is the used car that we bought. I thought it would be more dignified and respectable if I could give my daughter a good car as part of her dowry, making her more respected in her husband's family." He smoothed his Fire Cloud Evil God hairstyle with a bitter smile.
"But our family isn't very wealthy, so we couldn't afford a new one and had to buy a used one."
"The car dealer told me all sorts of wonderful things, saying it was almost new, that the original owner had only driven it for a short time and wanted to replace it because they struck it rich, which is why they sold it at a lower price."
"I was indeed muddled in the head to believe his nonsense!"
Hu Zi knew a lot about cars. He opened the car door and took a look at the driver's seat, then lifted the hood and glanced inside, shaking his head all the while.
"This car is an ancient model. It's been repainted, so it looks new on the outside, but the gearshift is nearly worn out! It must be at least seven or eight years old!"
"Old man, how much did you buy this for?"
Old Yi's smile turned even more bitter: "One, one hundred thousand."
"Then you've been ripped off. For a hundred thousand, you could have bought a new ordinary car!"
"I only recognized the logo; I don't know much about these things." Old Yi stomped his foot heavily, filled with regret, "Losing money is a minor issue now. This car has caused a rift between my daughter and son-in-law, who are on the verge of divorce less than a month after their wedding!"
"What, does this car have a soul ring?"
"What, what ring?" Old Yi didn't understand.
Lu Fei explained, "A soul ring means that the used car has been involved in a major accident and had fatalities."
"I went to see the used car dealer, but he wouldn't tell me anything, just said it's a final sale! But this car, sometimes at night, there are those sounds..." Lao Yi hesitated to finish his sentence.
Hu Zi was curious: "What kind of sounds?"
Lao Yi frowned, looking very uncomfortable.
"When two people are sleeping... the woman's sound..."
