“A ghostly presence in the gallery?”

Su Lu lowered his head, thought carefully: “Do you think this is related to

Moli?”

“Could be!” Rod cautiously expressed his opinion: “Perhaps they are carrying out some dangerous ritual… maybe… a curse on you!”

Su Lu’s face fell, recalling his past relations with Moli, he got slightly goosebumps.

If those were pretenses, those were extremely well hidden. “So… we must make an on-site investigation!”

Su Lu took a deep breath: “What else are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

“Because the possible adversary is likely a strange Cursed Spirit, we of course need to make some preparations, what about you?” Rod looked at Su Lu.

Although Su Lu was an expert in dealing with spiritual bodies, the horror of the Cursed Spirit might even surpass the second-order evil spirits they faced last time!

“I am ready, and everything I need is right here!”

Su Lu smiled, glancing at the experience points on his attribute panel:

[XP: 100]

These were his rewards for joining Rod on a few minor tasks.

And through these few attempts, he had figured out the rule for obtaining experience points in his attribute panel:

First, they must be of equal or similar strength. This was judged based on his own strength. In other words, just after initially getting his attribute panel, he got a lot of experience points from killing a large number of ordinary people. This had significantly diminished by now. He needed to kill transcendent beings or top individuals among ordinary people, like Donald, to obtain a generous amount of experience.

Secondly, the target must be hostile. Of course, if it gets killed, there won’t be so many requirements. But if someone is killed and they hold no hostility against him, it doesn’t seem to be possible.

The third point was that he had to land the final blow himself, and the distance couldn’t be too far, even if he coordinated the kill, a certain proportion of the contribution, or damage output, must be exceeded, otherwise, there would be no gains at all.

Finally, some special items, like magic books containing energy, could provide some experience through reading them, but ordinary books couldn’t do this, even if they contained a bit of transcendent knowledge!

This left Su Lu somewhat speechless.

Because this rule was very similar to the experience penalty rules in the online game he played.

What’s the point of a Golden Finger that has crossed dimensions retaining its original rules?

But, anyway, through his gains during this period, he had accumulated 100 experience points, which was not easy at all.

‘To deal with the Cursed Spirit, I have to rely on the methods of [Spirit

Medium]. I’m not sure if a Spirit oppression or Spirit Thorn is better though. Anyway, I can set them aside for now, and upgrade them on the spot in case of any sudden situation …’

“Alright then, let’s first visit the surviving victims!”

Rod agreed with a nod.

They were not heading directly for the gallery rumored to be haunted by ghosts, because it was definitely dangerous there. They needed to gather intelligence first.

In the suburbs, inside a villa.

As usual, with their fake credentials leading the way, Su Lu and Rod met one of the survivors of the supernatural event, Lady Xi Ling.

She had long, curly green hair, an ample bosom, a fine waist, and wore a bold red dress. Her beautiful face was full of fear and fatigue.

“Good day, Ma’am, we are from the Federal Investigation Bureau! We have a few questions about the gallery event. Uh… just some specific details!”

Rod waved a certain black-leather-bound credential in his hand. His calm demeanor made Su Lu almost believe that he was the real deal.

“Go ahead!”

Lady Xi Ling glanced at the six black-clothed bodyguards around her and nodded.

This lady was the wife of the big trader Aspe Miller. After the shock at the gallery, she immediately spent a lot of money to hire a large number of bodyguards and private detectives for protection.

Looking strictly from a security standpoint, she was of the highest level – for ordinary people.

Su Lu rated silently in his heart as he saw the obvious alertness on the faces of several of the bodyguards.

“Alright!”

Rod seriously took out a notebook: “You said that you encountered a ghost, can you describe it specifically? Such as… its image?”

“It. ..it. .. ”

Lady Xi Ling’s face suddenly showed a bewildering expression: “I forgot…”

She paused, then added: “But I know, it was a Revenant who killed Red, Poseidon…and little Xia. In front of me. Oh Goddess of Light, Xia was such a polite child, only seven years old… No! It will definitely come for me! It will definitely come for me Its appearance…it’s important. Very important!” Lady Xi Ling held her head, showing signs of hysteria.

‘Weird.. Didn’t the Cursed Spirit show its form? No…looking at the situation, Lady Xi Ling should have seen it, just strangely forgotten, it might be a unique ability of a ghost.’

Su Lu sighed silently in his heart.

“Gentlemen, I’m sorry…”

At this moment, a female bodyguard stepped forward: “My employer is very tired now, she needs to rest and recuperate!”

This female bodyguard was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit, muscles bulging from all over her body, like a hunting leopardess, her eyes full of vigilance towards strangers.

It was clear that she was somewhat suspicious of Rod’s identity.

“Alright, alright, don’t be nervous!” Rod spread his hands: “We are leaving now…but Ma’am, if you remember anything, please don’t forget to tell us!”

“Alright!”

Lady Xi Ling was still pale, but looking somewhat better, she lay back in her chair, lethargically waving her hand to let the maid see the guests out.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed like a butler in a tailcoat hurried in, looking panicked: “Ma’am…we just received news that Mr. Gilbert has suddenly passed away!”

“What?”

Rod and Su Lu exchanged glances.

This Gilbert was also one of the survivors of the supernatural Gallery event, and their next targeted visit on their agenda. “Oh my goddess…Gilbert, how did he die?” Lady Xi Ling lamented and asked.

“He was mysteriously killed in a closed room…”

The butler’s face also looked somewhat pale: “According to the messages relayed by the detectives, he was screaming…a ghost, a real Revenant, before he died!”

Mr. Gilbert was a good friend of Lady Xi Ling. They went to the gallery exhibition together and were attacked together. Only because of his poor financial condition, Lady Xi Ling lent him a private detective as a bodyguard, and that’s how she got the news first.

“Oh Goddess!”

Lady Xi Ling screamed again: “I want to go to the church, I want to go to the Bright Cathedral!”

“Ma’am! If this is a targeted serial murder case, a move at this time would give the killer the perfect opportunity!” The previous female bodyguard made a suggestion.

At the same time, her eyes flashed, and a few bodyguards vaguely surrounded Rod and Su Lu.

“Hey… listen, we don’t mean any harm!”

Rod raised his hands, indicating he was harmless: “We’re here to help you!”

“But I’m beginning to suspect that I’ve encountered two fraudsters…or…” The female bodyguard’s eyes chilled: “You guys are the murderers!”
