Chapter 381: The Sorcerer’s Gamble

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: The Sorcerer’s Gamble

Late at night.

In an alley not far from Tianxiang Building.

Lin Fan, holding a few strands of hair he had pulled out, pushed open the gate.

And behind him, Shangguan Min Yue was holding a sword.

Following him expressionlessly.

"Old friend, you’ve arrived!"

Hino Hiroshi, who had already been waiting inside.

But his gaze didn’t go straight to Lin Fan.

Instead, he was fixated on the extraordinary beauty behind him, Shangguan Min Yue.

The greed in his eyes was plastered across his lecherous face.

"Look all you want, but keep your eyes off what you shouldn’t, or else her temper might get out of control."

Lin Fan sat down directly across from Hino Hiroshi on the sofa.

He also glanced at the woman standing behind him.

Dressed in black leather that outlined her explosive figure.

The smile hanging on her lips was full of worldliness.

Although she was quite pretty in the face.

She simply couldn’t hold a candle to Shangguan Min Yue behind him.

"Old friend, it’s just a look, why so particular? I have to say, you’re definitely the top seducer in my heart. The quality of each girl is upper-class. In terms of affairs, I truly admire you," Hino Hiroshi said, licking his lips and smiling in a sleazy manner.

His admiration for Lin Fan grew stronger.

"Don’t be so chummy, let’s get back to business. I don’t know who you are, and I don’t want to know, but I’ve finished what I had to do today. Whether I can do it tomorrow depends on your performance tonight."

Lin Fan showed an expression of complete disdain.

He pulled out a scroll from his pocket and threw it onto the table.

The woman behind Hino Hiroshi immediately stepped forward.

She opened up the paper.

Inside it were indeed a few strands of hair.

All from Chu Tianyang.

"This is no small matter."

Hino Hiroshi, with a smile, pinched the strands of hair.

Then, he actually put them in his mouth.

The sensation was as if he were savoring a delicious delicacy.

It made Lin Fan frown.

"Is that it?"

He watched as Hino Hiroshi swallowed the hair, looking almost unsatisfied.

Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

Could it be that just by eating hair, Chu Tianyang would die?

Then who would dare go to a barber shop in the future?

"We need something else, please wait a moment."

Unexpectedly, Hino Hiroshi waved his hand.

He then sat cross-legged, intoning something under his breath.

Obscure spells and rapidly changing hand seals.

It actually looked quite intriguing.

After about ten minutes, Hino Hiroshi finally opened his eyes.

He moved his throat and then spat out a small black ball.

"This is the curse ball, used to guide the shikigami, as long as it’s crushed within ten meters of the cursed person, my shikigami can immediately appear there and carry out the assassination based on the scent of the hair."

Hino Hiroshi held the bullet-sized black ball in one hand and handed it to Lin Fan.

Hearing this, Lin Fan frowned.

"It has to be so complicated? I thought eating the hair would be enough."

"Can’t help it, unless I have the person’s birth details and approximate location, I can kill invisibly from a thousand miles away. This method is the most secretive. What you want is an undetected murder, so naturally the methods involved are more complex. But this is definitely better than you taking a knife and doing it yourself. Moreover, the victim doesn’t die immediately; you can still watch up close as he struggles in pain. Isn’t that a good thing?"

Hino Hiroshi sneered wickedly.

Everything to come would stun him.

"Fine, I’ll trust you this time, but I warn you, if I find out you’ve lied to me, it won’t just be your friend’s project at risk, I guarantee you will disappear from Jiangning forever."

Lin Fan reached out, grabbed the black sphere, and placed it in the napkin from earlier.

Standing up, he left for the door without a moment’s hesitation.

"Lin, why don’t I treat you to a visit to my world someday?"

Lin Fan’s tactical retreat had indeed made Hino Hiroshi much more relaxed.

The proactive invitation proved the approach was effective.

"Let’s see how you fare tonight first, if it does not succeed, we won’t be seeing each other again."

Lin Fan turned back and glanced at Hino Hiroshi.

His invitation would lead to a deeper search.

But if he accepted, there would be no chance to penetrate the core again.

After all, the art of playing hard to get wasn’t exclusive to women; men could use it too.

Until Lin Fan had left.

The room returned to its former silence.

But Hino Hiroshi didn’t rise from his seat; instead, he continued sitting there.

With quick hand gestures, he began chanting a spell under his breath again.

About ten minutes passed before he opened his eyes.

However, there was a look of weariness in them.

"Bring it here."

At his command, the woman in black immediately walked to the opposite side of Hino Hiroshi.

There was a cabinet there, filled with many strange and curious items.

She, however, reached out with both hands to pick up a small crystal ball.

Then she placed it on the table in front of Hino Hiroshi.

"Great curse master, haven’t you said he was dependable? Plus, he doesn’t seem like someone intentionally getting close to us."

The woman straightened her back, perplexed.

Looking at the weary Hino Hiroshi.

He had cast the Soul Capturing Spell, a Forbidden Technique.

It was consumptive.

"No matter how dependable a person is, I only feel at ease when I hold leverage over them," said Hino Hiroshi as he picked up the crystal ball.

The sphere, originally transparent, now had an image captured within it.

Lin Fan would not know that while he waited, his opponent had already used the Forbidden Technique.

Sealing his image within the sphere.

If the crystal ball shattered, the sealed Forbidden Technique inside.

Would launch a devastating attack on him immediately.

"The great curse master is wise."

The woman naturally nodded in agreement.

After all, he was one of the key leaders of the Blood Moon Project.

"How are things with Beitiao Qian Naizi regarding the dragon bones? The full moon isn’t far off," Hino Hiroshi asked after regaining some of his strength.

"Just now, Beitiao Qian Naizi sent a message; she has secretly infiltrated Tianku, but the guard there is tight, and she’s injured, so she can only wait for now," the woman quickly reported.

"Tell her to take action as soon as possible. Even sacrificing herself for the Yin Yang Formation is a great honor for her," Hino Hiroshi said grimly. "Any movements from Longyan with all the commotion we’ve caused? Longyan couldn’t possibly be unaware, and if they haven’t made even a token probe, that to the contrary, would mean they’re closely monitoring us."

"We’ve discovered that Longyan people have secretly infiltrated the construction site, and our upriver and downriver factories have also been secretly infiltrated. They probably have a rough grasp of all our positions and the structure of the ritual platform by now. Everyone is awaiting your command," the woman said as she removed her coat.

"If they like looking, let them. The more thorough, the better," Hino Hiroshi chuckled, embracing her: "After all, ours is but a feint, the more real it seems, the better. The goal is to draw all their fire, making any sacrifice for the establishment of the Yin Yang Formation worthwhile!"
