The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Lin Guang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said:

"Let's sleep first."

Lisa was a bit surprised: "Huh, sleep? Now?"

But Vishdair, standing nearby, seemed to have already understood his words, her delicate face gradually showing her characteristic grin, filled with excitement and madness.

"Eh... ah!"

It seemed Lisa had also realized, suddenly displaying a look of astonishment.

"Could it be—"

Lin Guang said softly, "The situation is turbulent, and most powerful Spirit Masters will focus their attention on that Secret Realm."

"Most of the True Men have already left, and about half of the Five-star Spirit Masters have probably set out."

"Without them, everything becomes easier."

He held the glass pearl in his hand, looking out at the pitch-black sky, with something seemingly flickering in his eyes.

"If we miss this opportunity, it might be a long time before we get such a good chance again."

Lin Guang, with his back to them, said, "The Divine Heart Association and the Umbrella are like massive entities to us. Saying it like this might indeed sound a bit reckless..."

"But what drives me to do this isn't some so-called principle and justice, nor is it just to vent for Lisa and Miaomiao."

"I simply..."

"Want a personal vendetta for myself, a reckless, unrestrained one that will cause them pain to their very bones, just to clear my mind, that's all."

"Can you lend me a hand?"

A brief pause.

"Hehe... hahahaha!"

The silver-haired girl suddenly stretched out her snow-white slender arm, wrapped it around his neck from behind, and let out a vigorously aggressive laugh near his ear, devoid of any ladylike demeanor.

"What do you mean 'lend a hand or not'?"

Her voluptuous, fiery body pressed tightly against Lin Guang's back, mingled with the scent of shower gel, hot breath blowing into his ear, she chuckled mischievously: "You finally figured it out."

"I've wanted to blast the entire Divine Heart Association to bits for a long time!"

Lisa also walked over to Lin Guang's side, her eyes flickered, but ultimately became resolute.

"Brother Lin Guang."

Her small face was full of seriousness: "Lisa... will also do her best."

Lin Guang ruffled her hair and furry big ears: "You could actually stay at home waiting for us."

"No."

She shook her head, holding Lin Guang's hand tight in her embrace, her big green eyes looking at Lin Guang: "If Lisa backs down this time... I might never muster the courage again."

Feeling the girl's warmth and the determination beating within her small chest, Lin Guang nodded.

"Alright."

"Then, you guys recharge your energy and have a good sleep."

Vishdair heard the implication in this sentence, raised an eyebrow: "You're not resting?"

"I'll make some preparations and rest later."

As he spoke, Lin Guang took out his phone and found the name "Lei Wanting" on the contact list, pressing on it.

...

Five hours later.

12:15 AM.

The three were all set and ready to go.

"How was the rest?"

"Needless to say? Every living Sakaz mercenary can sleep and wake at will—because those who can't are dead."

"The potion helped, Lisa feels great now!"

"Is that so, then good."

Looking at the both of them, Lin Guang nodded.

At this moment, the young man did not wear glasses, and was dressed in a long black coat with a black tight suit underneath, complemented by his handsome face, looking as if he stepped straight out of a movie.

Every piece of clothing he wore was lined intricately with a complex and precise spirit rune array—this was a Tier Three defensive spiritual armor he exchanged for with points from the joint exam.

Though its defensive performance was surely not as strong as the more powerful one-time items like tokens or pendants, its endurance allowed it to consistently resist the influence of extreme environments and skill aftershocks.

Strictly speaking, the star level of Spirit Masters should correspond to the tier of Spiritual Artifacts, but with Lin Guang's spiritual power, using Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts posed no pressure, which was why he opted for such an exchange.

Meanwhile, Vishdair and Lisa were also fully geared, outwardly appearing no different from their usual attire, but in fact, they wore Tier Three spiritual clothing tailor-made for them by a Miracle Master, which basically did not affect skill release.

"Phew."

Standing in the living room, Lin Guang took a deep breath.

He still wore the Red Lotus Gloves, rubbing the new ring in his hand, which was made of Mithril. The head of the ring featured two upward-spreading wings, encasing a white, waterdrop-shaped gem, and a wooden box sealed with strips appeared in his hand.

——Due to the recent high-tier spiritual materials that the Ring of Void couldn't store, already making it impractical, he bought a higher-tier ring, capable of being mastered and manipulated using spiritual power directly, named the Great Void Ring. However, the habit of rubbing it before retrieving objects was not going away anytime soon.

This wooden box was entirely black, akin to mahogany, with the strips covered in ghost scribbles-like patterns, resembling the talismans often seen in fantasy works in this world, drawn by Spirit Binders who seal demons and gods with divine authority.

However, Lin Guang did know a bit of the inside story.

In this potpourri-like spirit world, Spirit Masters with styles like Daoist Celestial Masters do indeed exist, with several hidden sects and families truly possessing such ancient inheritances, mysterious and powerful.

And the talismans on this box indeed came from the hands of a Miracle Master originating from such places.

It serves only one function.

To seal inauspicious items, preventing the spread of malice.

"This... seems somewhat familiar." Lisa couldn't help but murmur.

Under the curious gaze of the two, Lin Guang slowly peeled off all the talismans on top, and opened the wooden box in his hand, revealing the four pieces of spiritual materials inside.

A pure black round jade stone.

A seemingly ordinary round coin bearing a Western human face.

A simple necklace with a green cylindrical crystal pendant attached.

A tuft of red hair about two fingers long, presumably taken from some creature.

These spiritual materials didn't seem particularly special at first glance.

But at the moment the box was opened, the room's temperature seemed to drop, as if something faintly perceptible was wailing or lamenting, inducing a spine-chilling sensation.

"*Kazdail expletive*, what the heck is this?!"

Vishdair's nerves were extremely alert, with golden particles flickering, the hand cannon was already in her hand, instinctively pointing at the box.

"It seems like I've seen dad purify this kind of stuff before..."

Lisa seriously looked at these items: "There's a very unsettling feeling."

Lin Guang nodded: "Yes, these spiritual materials are so-called 'inauspicious items'."

"Initially, these were just some ordinary items without any abnormalities, but the owners were all rather unlucky, and these items were passed on to the next owner, who also met unfortunate ends."

"So gradually, they were labeled as 'cursed items that bring misfortune to their owners'."

"Although such things could be regarded as a necessary coincidence on a sufficiently large scale, people in this world almost all possess extraordinary powers like spiritual energy that can change the world."

"So when many people, including Spirit Masters who carried these items, die untimely while thinking this way, based on some very complex principles, it came true, really able to bring bad luck to the bearer."

"Thus, ordinary items became spiritual materials."

"Thinking too much when you're too full." Vishdair pouted, commenting, "In Kazdail, no one would think like this, a coin is just a coin and should be spent once received."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Guang looked at the talismans on the box: "These things are extremely rare and cannot be easily identified by ordinary Spirit Masters; collecting them is troublesome, their rarity surpasses their utility, I was surprised they were in the joint exam exchange list and inexplicably cheap."

"Though they average as Tier Four, perhaps due to the high storage and management costs people are eager to let them go, making them a touch cheaper than normal Tier Four spiritual materials. So I seized them all when I saw them."

"Why did you buy these things, to see if your luck is strong enough?"

Vishdair, of course, wasn't afraid, touched her chin, and suddenly brightened up: "Wait, are you planning to use something like witchcraft?"

"Are you going to use them to curse the Divine Heart Association folks?"

"You're getting warmer, but it's not a curse."

Lin Guang revealed a meaningful glance, looking at the third item in the Spirit King talent list he had activated, the secondary talent capable of changing his fortune.
