Chapter 143: Agent
This Weird Official Report does not belong to him.
Therefore, if he were to release his suppression, this Weird Official Report would immediately release its malice and backfire on him. Although that level of backlash is merely a drizzle to him, not even enough to trigger the passive defense of his Great Sun Spirit Body, it would ultimately be somewhat troublesome.
However... Li Heng thought of a certain possibility and reached out to grab another piece of paper money from the air. Could this Buying Life Money buy this Weird Official Report? What would happen if two Weird rules collided?
He smiled slightly, wanting to give it a try.
This Buying Life Money seemed quite perceptive; sensing the shift in Li Heng's intent, the paper money instantly transformed into a chip cast from ancient bronze, with the character "Treasure" engraved on its perimeter, looking extremely archaic.
Li Heng suddenly had a realization; holding this chip in his hand, through a vague perception, he knew he could purchase the Weird Official Report using this type of chip.
Interesting, trading life for money to buy everything under heaven?
He raised an eyebrow slightly; was this the rule of the Strange Buying Life Money?
As he continued to seize the paper money one after another, he could feel that secret, Weird power beginning to increase, attempting to enter his body through the rule of trading life for money to plunder his vitality.
However, it was still blocked outside the door by his Great Sun Spirit Body.
Clearly, this type of rule power was not worthy of challenging the Great Sun.
Li Heng felt relieved now and began rapidly grabbing those paper money notes from the air, leaving Kong Que, whom he was carrying under his arm, in a state of confusion. What was this man doing, grabbing paper money? Was he possessed?
At this moment, he was in no rush to hunt down the owner of the Ancient Residence.
With his Qi lock, the owner of the Ancient Residence had clearly already run to that Grave Mountain and remained motionless, lying in wait. This was obviously because they had found some helper, and this Buying Life Money was likely the handiwork of that helper.
Then he would conduct an experiment first and, incidentally, break this method.
Above the Grave Mountain.
Amidst the mountains and plains of vermilion coffins stood a huge, wordless tombstone, and beneath the tombstone was a small grave mound. In terms of scale, it looked as if it only contained an ash urn, appearing somewhat insignificant against the backdrop of the massive tombstone.
The owner of the Ancient Residence stood before it and spoke in surprise.
"You said that Living Dead took the initiative to touch your money?"
"He did indeed touch it, and it seems he wants to use this money for something, little knowing that this is his own Buying Life Money! It seems he knows nothing about me or this money!"
From within the grave mound came the sound of a sinister laugh.
"How much money did he take? Hurry and buy his life!"
The owner of the Ancient Residence was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"It is still little for now, but that Living Dead is dissatisfied and keeps grabbing more. At this rate, it won't be long before I can buy his entire life."
"But you are quite pathetic; possessing that secret Ancient Residence, you were actually forced to abandon it and flee. What should I say about you? But never mind, for this intervention, you owe me one thousand coins."
"If you don't pay it back by the deadline, you know the consequences."
The voice laughed triumphantly, reminding the owner of the Ancient Residence.
The heart of the owner of the Ancient Residence sank; she owed one thousand coins just like that. Damn fellow, truly black-hearted. If she hadn't been at her wit's end and forced to seek help from this guy, why would she have come here?
She recalled Li Heng's terrifying power and felt a lingering fear, so she spoke to warn him. "You must be careful; this Living Dead has some secret methods and even temporarily damaged that Ancient Residence."
"I'm afraid your money won't be able to buy that Living Dead's life!"
"Hahaha, how is that possible? It seems you've been scared out of your wits by this Living Dead! With my reserve of Buying Life Money, let alone this mere Living Dead, even a Half-Step Great Innate could have their life bought!"
The voice laughed, mocking the owner of the Ancient Residence. At the end, it added another sentence. "Don't worry, even if the money I have here isn't enough, at worst I'll take out a loan and borrow more Buying Life Money from over there."
"Then as long as you are clear on that."
The owner of the Ancient Residence responded with a cold expression, a trace of gloom brewing beneath her beautiful face. This fellow was truly lucky; in the past, she had suppressed him. Now, having had some stroke of good luck, he had become one of the agents of the Buying Life Money, forcing even her to seek his help.
At this moment, Li Heng had grabbed quite a lot of paper money, converting it into chips to buy the Weird Official Report, totaling over a thousand pieces. Kong Que finally reacted and guessed what this thing actually was.
She spoke in a panic.
"Stop, hurry and stop, you cannot take this money!"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and while continuing to collect the paper money, he smiled and spoke. "This money cannot be taken? Why do you say that?"
"This is Buying Life Money! If you take too much, your entire life will be bought. When that time comes, no one will be able to save you; your life and death will fall into the hands of others, and you might even end up as someone else's Puppet."
Kong Que warned with a serious expression.
Although her strength was somewhat lacking, she at least came from the Yin World and knew the rumors about this Buying Life Money: trade life for money to buy everything under heaven, driving countless demons and Weirds to madness.
"Who is behind this Weird?" Li Heng's movements did not stop.
"This..." Kong Que just wanted to answer, but was suddenly startled, looking at Li Heng who was close at hand. "You know this thing is Weird? Then you should know the severity of the situation; why are you still taking it?"
"This thing is a rule; you cannot resist it!"
"I asked who is behind this thing, not for you to persuade me." Li Heng spoke indifferently; the price of the Weird Official Report was ten thousand, and at this moment, the chips in his hand had already reached over fifteen hundred.
"Who is behind it? I actually don't know this either..."
"It is only vaguely rumored that the Buying Life Money is ownerless... those fellows who hold the Buying Life Money are actually just agents."
Kong Que said somewhat blankly.
Li Heng was a bit surprised; an ownerless Weird? Those holding the Buying Life Money are just agents? Could it be that this Weird has already spread into a Disaster, with no one able to cure it and no one able to control it, which is why it is ownerless?
Based on the current information.
Weirds can only be contained, suppressed, and sealed. If one seals them before they develop, that is fine; for example, the Weird Official Report, encountering him early, could not stir up any waves.
But if they develop and affect a large area, bringing countless living beings into the scope of the Weird rule's operation... coupled with the fact that Weirds are almost immortal and indestructible, almost no one can control them.
That Weird Official Report of his would be terrifying if it developed, causing large-scale infection; those who could not sell the Official Report would die. If no powerhouse could interfere with the rules, it would simply be an extinction-level Disaster!
Is this Buying Life Money a typical example of a Weird that has developed?
Things like Weirds generally carry malice; this Buying Life Money is truly buying life when it comes to the human race. But for demons and Weirds, it seems it can also be used for transactions?
Otherwise, why would those agents hold the Buying Life Money?
He speculated in his heart, having already established a rough outline.
"Stop talking about this, hurry and throw this money away. Right now, this money can only buy a part of your life; if you take too much, your entire life will be bought," Kong Que said anxiously.
She had a good impression of Li Heng and did not want him to meet with disaster.
Li Heng smiled faintly and ignored her.
On Grave Mountain, the voice coming from the grave mound sounded somewhat surprised.
"What on earth does this Living Dead want with so much Buying Life Money? He's already taken over two thousand sheets, and he's still taking more!?"
The owner of the Ancient Residence was surprised upon hearing this. Over two thousand sheets?
That should be enough to buy an Innate expert!
"Since he has obtained over two thousand sheets, then hurry up and buy his life, and suppress and kill him!" she urged.
"No rush, no rush, I actually want to see what he's going to do." A leisurely laugh came from within the grave mound; although the owner of the Ancient Residence had entrusted him to suppress and kill this Living Dead, he had other plans.
That Living Dead's strength was clearly very high; he had chased the owner of the Ancient Residence like a stray dog and could even temporarily damage that weird Ancient Residence, clearly possessing some extraordinary means.
Why kill such a figure? Wouldn't it be better to buy him as a slave?
Besides, he wasn't the furious owner of the Ancient Residence, and he had no grudge against that Living Dead, so why kill him just to be done with it? At the same time, he was also very curious about what this Living Dead was doing with so much Buying Life Money.
You want money, don't you? Fine, then I'll give it to you!
I'll give you even more money, and I'll be more certain of buying you; by then, even if you have some heaven-shaking trump card, it will be useless!
He laughed heartily in his heart, and paper money flew across the mountains and plains, drifting into the air and flying toward Li Heng's direction. Anyway, he had plenty of money; he could even buy a Half-Step Great Innate, let alone this Living Dead?
Li Heng gathered all the paper money drifting around him.
The surrounding view suddenly became clear.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. None left? This isn't enough! Just as he was pondering whether he should charge directly toward Grave Mountain, he suddenly saw an ocean of paper money flying toward him from the direction of Grave Mountain.
This is...
He thought for a moment and guessed the scheme behind it.
They actually really want to buy his life?
Well then, the more the better!
Li Heng smiled faintly, rushed toward this ocean of paper money at high speed, scooped it up, and converted it into one Chip after another; soon, the quantity reached over nine thousand.
And then... there was no more.
On Grave Mountain, that agent fell into silence.
Good heavens, does this Living Dead Ghost need money that badly? His appetite is actually this big, taking all the Buying Life Money on his mountain?
Seeing the agent fall silent, the owner of the Ancient Residence spoke anxiously.
"What, did some accident happen?"
She had been traumatized by Li Heng, and the pride in her heart had collapsed directly. Even though she knew the power of the Buying Life Money, she was still afraid that something had gone wrong.
"It's fine, it's fine, it's time to close the net and buy his life!"
The agent spoke gloomily.
According to his estimation, two or three thousand sheets of Buying Life Money would be enough to buy the life of this Living Dead. Now that this Living Dead had taken over nine thousand sheets, it was more than enough to buy his life.
It was just a pity that he hadn't satisfied this Living Dead's appetite.
This was simply a disgrace to his status as an agent!
At this moment, Li Heng felt that those Mysterious Powers had piled up like a mountain, crazily trying to invade his body and plunder his vitality, but the Great Sun Spirit Body easily blocked them back.
This amount of Mysterious Power could not reach a qualitative change and still could not touch the essence of the Great Sun.
On Grave Mountain.
Under the agent's sensing, he shouted in shock.
"How is it possible? It actually can't buy his life! What kind of person have you provoked, you guy? My nine thousand-plus sheets of Buying Life Money actually can't buy the life of a mere Living Dead!"
What? It can't be bought!? The owner of the Ancient Residence was also stunned.
Such powerful Buying Life Money can't buy him? Are you kidding? She seriously suspected that this guy was playing her. "Don't try to lie to me; dignified Buying Life Money can't buy a Living Dead?"
"Hmph, what benefit would I get from lying to you?"
The agent said gloomily.
This was a huge loss!
Nine thousand-plus sheets of Buying Life Money couldn't even buy one Living Dead; he had just given away money for nothing! If he lost so much money and still couldn't complete this life-buying, he might even lose his qualification as an agent.
No, he must buy this Living Dead!
He began to take out a loan through the connection in the dark...
