Chapter 1: Scarlet Curse Card
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the activation card box condition, is it activated?"
The "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards held by Zhou Ziju in his left hand fell to the ground one after another, and he stared at the black box on the table that was only the size of a palm, but flashed with a demonic light, especially the black creature on the box exuded a soul-stirring glow in its pupils, and subconsciously said: "Activate!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the card box, completing the quest, collecting any card to reach 100, and cannot be repeated, you can get a card!
After the system test, the host has collected 100 cards, and there are no duplicates, get a card, and give a beginner's manual. “
The black creature on the black box devoured the remaining blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and the scorching light inside the box flashed, although he was a little confused by what was happening in front of him, he also understood that something terrible seemed to have happened.
The black box was a birthday gift brought back from Egypt by a friend, the size of the box is just right, he has been using it to treasure his favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card deck, who would have thought that when he was bored and entertaining himself to play the card deck, he accidentally cut his finger with a utility knife, and blood fell on the box, and the scene just happened.
Zhou Ziju picked up the card box and looked at it, there was a black card inside, took it out and looked at it, the card was painted with a blood-colored insect like a caterpillar, and the two black traditional characters on the insect's forehead added a bit of mystery to it.
After only glancing at the two black traditional Chinese characters on his forehead, Zhou Ziju gave up, why?
The first word is written like a ghost painting charm villain, the ghost painting charm villain knows him, he doesn't know people, is it a beautiful woman?
But the second word is a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while.
Alas, it's all the fault of the illiterate!
The name of the card is written in simplified characters, called the Blood Curse, and there are a few lines of small characters under the card, Zhou Ziju looked at it; "Read the traditional Chinese characters on the insect's forehead, pay a certain amount of blood, you can summon the Blood-colored Bug to curse, as long as it is a creature, you can curse!"
"Wow, this is simply a whole artifact!" Looking at the card introduction, Zhou Ziju flashed a few figures in his mind, and saliva flowed out unconsciously, and he was quite excited.
Although he doesn't know the two traditional characters, Du Niang knows it, Du Niang has it in hand, and the traditional Chinese characters of Shenma are not a thing.
Cautious, he did not impulsively turn on the computer to use the card because of the introduction, but looked at the card box again, and there was a card-sized white paper inside.
This is what the system calls the manual, Zhou Ziju took out the white paper, read the content carefully, and Zhou Ziju looked at the black card box in a daze for a long time.
It turned out that the spirit box was an experiment created by a disciple of Lingbao Tianzun named Xiaoyaozi thousands of years ago using Taoism and a certain civilization system, and he wanted to use this thing to understand the way of mastering space, but then I don't know why, Xiaoyaozi suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the spirit box waiting for someone to become its master.
There are two major flaws in the spirit box as an experimental object, one is that the cards in the box must be used on the same day, otherwise the iron-eating beast will devour the host's soul. Second, if you can't complete the task, you will also be devoured by the iron-eating beast.
It is specifically stated in the manual that once the spirit box is activated, you can't regret it!
Is it so evil that it's true or false?
Although he would fantasize about a day in his spare time, once the fantasy came true, he was uneasy.
Zhou Ziju sighed, looked at the spirit box on the table, and didn't know if it was good or bad to inadvertently activate the spirit box!
Knock knock!
Zhou Ziju lit a cigarette, knocked on the table with his left hand unconsciously, thinking about the pros and cons of the spirit box for him, and just as he was thinking, a knock sounded on the door.
"Please come in!"
Putting the black spirit box and the more than a hundred game cards on the table into the drawer, Zhou Ziju cleared his throat and said.
The door was opened, and a pair of young people walked in, the man was wearing a blue tight suit, his face was white and clean, the woman's facial features were delicate and wearing a white dress, and her long black and bright hair naturally fell on her shoulders, especially the red high heels on her feet made her a little more charming.
"What a handsome man and a beautiful woman!" Zhou Ziju praised in his heart.
"Tell your story, Sherlock Detective Agency will solve your problems!"
Getting closer, Zhou Ziju noticed that the woman in the white dress had a face full of anxiety, and he flicked the ashes of his cigarette, guessing what would happen.
"What worries and solutions to the place where this bird doesn't. Before the woman could speak, the man next to her looked around the room and spoke, his tone full of disdain.
Zhou Ziju raised his eyebrows and said: "Since it is a place where birds don't, then you who walked into the company, is it possible that you, the gentleman, are the essence of?"
"Boy, do you know who I am? Believe it or not......"
Before the man could speak, he was interrupted by the woman next to him: "Chen Yu, shut up for the old lady, the place was chosen by the old lady, if you don't like it, you can get out!"
"Xin'er, there is no fame and no equipment here to help you at all, I know a buddy, that is the little Sherlock Holmes of the detective world, absolutely reliable!" Chen Yu said hurriedly.
"No, that's it!" Zhu Xin'er said lightly.
In fact, she regretted it the moment she walked into the house, the room was clearly furnished, a point-and-shoot camera, an old-fashioned printer and all-in-one computer, and a rudimentary table and chair, not even a decent sofa, let alone detective equipment.
Compared with the humble detective agency, she was more annoyed that Chen Yu around her was pestering herself like a dog skin plaster, so she chose here angrily.
Zhou Ziju took a puff of cigarette and looked at the two handsome men and women in front of him strangely, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"She's my sweetheart, I've been lost all morning, can you help me find her?"
Zhu Xin'er clicked on a photo on her phone and handed it to Zhou Ziju, her tone full of anxiety and worry.
Zhou Ziju took it, the photo was a black cat, he frowned unconsciously, finding a cat is not a good errand, the pay is low, and the difficulty is not small.
He was about to open his mouth to shirk the matter, when he suddenly heard a cold voice in his head: "The turnover of the detective agency has reached 30,000, and a reward card has been awarded!"
Chen Yu walked back and forth in the house and touched it: "There is not even a basic detective camera in the house, how can the detective find it, Xin'er, listen to me......"
"And what if I can find it?"
Zhou Ziju looked at him, his heart was full of helplessness, and the system prompt deprived him of the right to make a choice, and he couldn't take it anymore.
"You can find it, Young Master Ben lost 10,000 yuan to you, but if you can't find it?" Chen Yu asked rhetorically.
"I can't find it, the store will send you, but I won't lose. Zhou Ziju looked at him and said calmly.
"Young Master Ben is waiting to receive your broken society. Chen Yu said coldly.
Zhu Xin'er is not interested in their gambling contract at all, she only cares whether the 'baby' can be found, that is her lifeline.
"Help me find the 'baby', and the reward can be opened casually!" Zhu Xin'er said.
"Let's talk about what happened first!" Zhou Ziju nodded, beckoning the two of them to sit down and tell what happened.
Out of politeness, Zhu Xin'er looked at the wooden stool with only three legs and hesitated and chose to sit down, Chen Yu chose to stand, he was unhappy with everything here, but the beauty was in front, otherwise he would have left a long time ago.
Zhou Ziju was too lazy to take care of him, found the paper and pen in the drawer, and recorded it while listening to Zhu Xin'er tell about the process of losing the cat.
Half an hour later, Zhu Xin'er and Chen Yu left, and Zhou Ziju only felt a headache when he looked at the paper records and the transfer information of 5,000 yuan on his mobile phone.
Zhu Xin'er offered a reward of 30,000 yuan, and at the same time offered very harsh conditions, she must see her 'baby' before ten o'clock this evening, otherwise she will bear the consequences.
Zhu Xin'er is careful, why is he not careful, obviously not good at finding cats and dogs, but he took it and bet with others that he couldn't find a cat, so he closed the door.
The cat was lost near the mall, and when Zhu Xin'er found out that the cat was lost, half an hour had passed, and it was undoubtedly the best way to call up the mall monitoring.
According to Zhu Xin'er, she has already asked the merchant to obtain surveillance, but unfortunately no cat was found in any surveillance video.
If Zhu Xin'er's words are true, there is no cat in the surveillance, there are two possibilities.
One is that the cat has just escaped all surveillance, and the cat is petite and more flexible, which is not impossible. The other is to get caught by a cat dealer.
Zhou Ziju felt that no matter which one it was, it was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, Zhu Xin'er only gave him a photo of a cat, not even a single cat hair, even if he found a black cat, he couldn't be sure that this one was hers.
As a detective, calmness is the key to solving the case, thinking about how he was not calm just now, people were stimulated to bet with others in a few sentences, recalling the previous picture in his mind, Zhou Ziju reviewed what he had done.
After Zhou Ziju wrote and drew on the letterhead, he returned to the train of thought just now, what he needed to do now was to verify whether Zhu Xin'er's words were watery.
After verifying, how to confirm the identity of the cat in the process of looking for the cat, although he was born as a scout, after looking at the photos for a long time, he didn't find anything impressive about the black cat.
Taking another 10,000 steps back, even with advanced machines, it is almost impossible to find them in a short period of time.
The specialty of cats is petite and flexible, Zhou Ziju felt that the reason why Zhu Xin'er was willing to agree to such a high remuneration was that on the one hand, she really cared about her black cat, and on the other hand, she probably felt that it was unlikely that he would find it, so she just said a few perfunctory words.
Maybe after people go out, they will find a big detective agency to search for cats.
He thought about it carefully, whether he found the cat or not, she didn't suffer, and watched the excitement plainly.
The cigarette burned into the end unconsciously, the cigarette ash burned his fingers, Zhou Ziju woke up and played off the cigarette ash, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, there is!
