I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 463 - 429: The Deal Between Da Bai and Qi Er

Professionals?

Other than that burnt girl outside, there probably wasn’t anyone else who knew the origin of the mirror.

"I’ll go bring her over!"

Steel Egg raised his hand and volunteered to go outside to tie up Juice Girl.

He cautiously approached the unconscious Juice Girl, and to ensure she wouldn’t immediately unleash a dangerous power upon waking up, used a textbook-style Turtle Shell Binding to tie her up.

Even the rope was provided by Chang An, specifically meant for Daoist ghost-repelling.

Once the binding was complete, Steel Egg pulled out a small bottle of extremely potent aromatic essential oil from his pocket. This oil could quickly stimulate the nerves, waking someone from unconsciousness.

Steel Egg gently opened the bottle and carefully dripped the essential oil onto Juice Girl’s nose.

The pungent smell immediately filled the air, and Juice Girl’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Then, her eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of pain and confusion.

"What are you doing..."

Juice Girl’s voice was hoarse, clearly not fully recovered from the recent electromagnetic strike.

"Don’t bother, you are now Wang Dayong’s captive."

Jiang Xiao spoke indifferently, his gaze cold, causing Juice Girl to shiver uncontrollably.

Steel Egg stood by, watching Juice Girl struggle and crawl in pain, feeling a perverse pleasure but staying alert, fearful that the female ghost would play another trick.

He also wondered, why was Jiang Xiao calling himself Wang Dayong?

Huh?

This Wang Dayong... it sounded familiar...

"What exactly do you want?"

Juice Girl’s voice carried a hint of pleading, but her eyes still showed defiance and cunning.

Bai Yi had told her about Wang Dayong’s lecherous deeds; he didn’t spare even the mentally ill, imprisoning them in the hospital for nightly revelries.

"You can do me, torture me, but you mustn’t hit me! Otherwise, Bai Yi will definitely avenge me!"

Everyone: "?"

What do you want to do?

Jiang Xiao narrowed his eyes, his lips curling into a sinister smile, almost becoming the legendary Wang Dayong.

He slowly squatted down, face close to Juice Girl, and whispered.

"You think I’ll go easy on you? Tell me the secret of that bronze mirror, or I will make you wish you were dead."

Juice Girl’s complexion changed; she realized this man wasn’t jesting. The murderous intent in his eyes sent chills down her spine.

She knew she might truly suffer unimaginable torment if she didn’t reveal the secret of the bronze mirror.

"Okay, okay, I’ll tell you! The bronze mirror is... an ancient magical artifact; it can reflect a person’s spirit and even manipulate their will."

Juice Girl’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with fear.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao’s brows slightly furrowed; so the mirror had such incredible power. He asked coldly, "Then why did you use it against us?"

Juice Girl bit her lip, finally revealing the truth.

"Because, actually, actually... I’m being forced, okay? It was Bai Yi who threatened me. If I didn’t follow her orders, she would take my spirit."

"Other than that effect, doesn’t it have any positive uses? I’m a good person; I don’t need to control other people’s spirits."

You’re a good person?

Juice Girl’s expression froze, but she continued.

"Uh, right! It can also serve as a communicator, you can leave someone’s scent on the mirror, and when you want to contact them, just call out to the mirror non-stop!"

emm...

Except for Chang An, who was born and raised in Hangzhou City, the locals were somewhat surprised by the mirror’s capabilities.

Jiang Xiao, Steel Egg, and Bai Yi, who had spent time in "big cities," were somewhat disdainful.

Isn’t it just video calling?

It’s just that this mirror provides data-free video calls.

"Forget it, no need to use it, but it’s good we don’t need it. We can just use it as barter later. Bai Yi, go search other places to see if there are any valuable items; if not, we’re heading back to Liu Town now."

"Okay!"

Although it was late at night, since they had slept quite a bit during the earlier part of the night, Bai Yi was hardly sleepy now.

Steel Egg’s eyes suddenly lit up as he quietly approached Jiang Xiao and pleaded.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, about this Juice Maiden...what do you think...do you still want it?"

"Just take it if you want it, but I feel like your mentor Yan Chixia might not understand your choice."

Hearing Jiang Xiao’s consent, Steel Egg immediately felt like his future just got a whole lot brighter.

He repeatedly stated he would handle things with Yan Chixia.

"Don’t worry, if he really doesn’t agree, at worst I’ll just lend him the Juice Maiden to use."

Jiang Xiao: .....

Juice Maiden: ???

What do you mean?

Am I being treated as a sex tool?

To this, Jiang Xiao could only say to let go of the urge to persuade people and to respect their personal quirks.

Bai Yi then went to various rooms to search for valuables.

Steel Egg and Chang An began to harshly interrogate the Juice Maiden.

At the very least, they needed to pry out from her what the relationship between Bai Yi and Qi Er was.

This was crucial for their future credit-seeking.

The Juice Maiden’s eyes wandered around the room; facing the scrutiny of Steel Egg and Chang An, she felt a sense of helplessness well up inside her.

She took a deep breath and lowered her eyelids, seemingly making her final deliberations.

A moment later, she lifted her head, her gaze resolute, and looked at Steel Egg.

"Alright, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything." The Juice Maiden’s voice carried a hint of resignation, but more of relief: "I’m just an employee; Sister Bai Yi hired me to do her bidding. As for my relationship with Qi Er, it was a chance meeting. To me, he’s just a loser."

"Do you know what the relationship between Sister Bai Yi and Qi Er is?" Steel Egg asked eagerly.

The Juice Maiden slowly nodded, then spoke.

"Sister Bai Yi and Qi Er have a secret deal between them, the details of which I’m not clear about, but I know there must be some big secret, something like harvesting souls."

"Harvesting souls? A deal?" Chang An pressed: "Can you explain in detail what kind of deal it is?"

The Juice Maiden shook her head, indicating she truly didn’t know the specifics. Sister Bai Yi was very cautious about it; she only occasionally mentioned it.

"Oh yes, it seems that after Sister Bai Yi takes a liking to some girl, she has Qi Er approach them as an ordinary person. If soft approaches don’t work, they resort to force; it’s roughly like that..."

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao, who was initially disinterested, caught onto something crucial.

"And then? What I mean is, after Qi Er forces them, how are those women handled?"

"Uh, most of these women end up dead, and then their souls are taken away by Sister Bai Yi."
