Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 26 Desperate Situation! What should we do now?

Jinfeng Town.

Night had not yet completely fallen, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows.

Zhu Que and Xiao Cai met at their usual spot and waited together for the men sent by Boss Meng.

"Sister Cai," Zhu Que asked, "Are second-tier spiritual artifacts easy to obtain on the black market?"

"It's not going to be easy."

Xiao Cai shook her head: "The black market isn't really a lawless place, it's just that the police are usually too lazy to investigate. First-tier spiritual artifacts are okay, there's a lot of circulation and many gray channels, but second-tier spiritual artifacts are different."

"Second-tier spiritual artifacts are under strict control. Their origin, registration, and distribution are all closely monitored, making them difficult to obtain even on the black market."

"What if it's a temporary rental?" Zhu Que asked.

"Is it the same as before, just looking but not buying?"

"right."

"That's no problem. Although I don't have the connections, I can ask Boss Meng. She definitely has a way. Are they still those second-tier spiritual artifacts?"

"That's right."

"I'll ask around for you later."

"Thanks, Sister Cai."

"Don't mention it, you're my lucky charm~ I'll take care of this little thing."

Xiao Cai patted her chest and said.

Zhu Que continued, "By the way, Sister Cai, could you also ask about the injection fluid used for cultivation for me?"

Injectable medications are a product of modern technology.

Long ago, people used the primitive technique of "alchemy"—

Through the alchemy furnace, pills are refined, and those consumed gain an improvement.

However, elixirs are not only inefficient to produce, but also slow to be absorbed and contain many impurities, and have long been eliminated by the times.

Injectable medications are not only highly efficient to produce, but also highly efficient to absorb, and their components are more stable.

"Injection potion? No need to ask, I can buy it. Injection potion is easier to get than a second-tier spirit weapon because most potions are single-use consumables, and the official supervision is not as strict."

Xiao Cai said, "However, most cultivation-related injections are very expensive. Which kind of injection do you want?"

Zhu Que had already noted down the injection solutions suitable for trusted cultivators from Zheng Yuanbai's notebook, and now he listed them one by one:

"Meridian Strengthening Fluid, Silver Circulation Expander, Inspiration Resonance Fluid, Azure Balance Affinity Agent, Azure Balance Affinity Agent..."

Zhu Queyi listed ten different injectable medications.

This series of injectable solutions is almost tailor-made for novice cultivators; it is very simple, direct, and highly effective.

"Okay, I'll ask around for you later."

Xiao Cai recorded everything.

Zhu Que was about to continue speaking and ask about magic and martial arts.

Just then.

A burly figure appeared before the two.

The man was about two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, a large bald head, and a cold and serious expression.

It was Wu Qing, a subordinate sent by Boss Meng.

Zhu Que handed him the black bag containing twenty pistols, preparing to go to the black market with him.

Today is Boss Meng's payment day, so I'll go over and ask her about the second-tier spiritual weapon and the injection.

however.

Zhu Que just handed the black bag to Wu Qing.

The piercing sound of sirens suddenly rang out—

"Waaaaah—!!"

At the end of the street, dozens of police cars sped up and stopped at the side of the street, their red and blue lights flashing alternately.

The car doors opened one after another, and a large number of police officers quickly got out of the vehicles.

One of the police cars stopped almost right next to Zhu Que and his two companions.

The car door opened, and a policewoman stepped out.

She was tall, and when she stood still, she was almost half a head taller than Zhu Que.

His police cap was pulled low, his gaze sharp as he swept across the entire block, exuding a chilling and imposing aura.

That wasn't the aura of an ordinary police officer.

The policewoman took two steps forward and shouted, "Seal off the entire block immediately!"

"Control all entrances and exits; not even a fly is allowed to get out!"

"Search and question all personnel! Bring all suspicious individuals back to the station! Better to arrest the wrong person than let one go free!"

With her command.

The entire block was immediately brought under control.

Vehicles were forcibly stopped, crowds were driven together, and shops were taken over by police officers.

This moment.

Zhu Que and the other two's expressions changed simultaneously.

Xiao Cai and Wu Qing's expressions changed because the black bag contained a full twenty unregistered handguns. If they were found, it would be a serious crime of illegally possessing and trading military weapons and magical artifacts.

Zhu Que's apprehension deepened even further.

Even if Xiao Cai and Wu Qing are arrested and taken to the police station, they won't be guilty of a capital offense; at most, they'll just serve a few years in jail.

But he's different.

Once he's arrested and taken to the police station, and it's discovered that he's a "born demon," his fate will definitely be much more tragic.

At this moment, he could not distance himself from Wu Qing.

Because the police captain was right in front of the three of them.

There were more than a dozen police officers waiting for orders around her, who had already surrounded the three of them.

No extra movement of his could escape the eyes of these people.

Oops……

What should we do now...?

If I let these police officers search and interrogate me, and those twenty handguns are discovered, I, as Wu Qing's "accomplice," will definitely be taken back to the police station as well...

Zhu Que's thoughts were in complete disarray, and cold sweat seeped down his forehead.

Just then.

A police officer jogged over and stood at attention, saluting the female police captain, Su Zhen.

"Captain Su, we've sealed off the entire block. Zheng Yuanbai is definitely not going to escape this time."

"Pass the order: don't let any suspicious individuals get away!"

Su Zhen's tone was icy, her gaze sharp. "If he gets away again this time, we can all resign."

"Okay, Captain Su!"

On the streets, police lights flashed intermittently as officers checked the crowds; everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Zhu Que subtly tugged at Xiao Cai and Wu Qing, indicating that they could go into the crowd.

Once they blend into the crowd, the black bag containing twenty handguns can be disposed of secretly.

however.

The three of them had just turned around and hadn't taken more than a few steps when Su Zhen's cold, clear voice came from behind them—

"You three, stop right there."

Zhu Que and the other two stopped in their tracks at the same time.

His throat bobbed involuntarily as he turned to look at the policewoman captain.

Xiao Cai feigned an innocent and obedient expression and asked suspiciously, "Officer, is there something you need?"

Su Zhen remained expressionless, his gaze not falling on Xiao Cai, but directly addressing Wu Qing and asking:

"Wu Qing, you come to the station every few days, we're practically old acquaintances now, why don't you even say hello when you see me?"

"Captain Su, I saw you were on official business, so I didn't want to disturb you." Wu Qing's attitude was very good.

"How's your boss Meng Yu doing lately? What kind of illegal activities is he up to?" Su Zhen asked casually.

"Captain Su, you're joking. We've been doing legitimate business lately, and we absolutely haven't done anything illegal or criminal!"

Wu Qing laughed and said, "Our boss often mentions you, saying that he must invite you to dinner when he has time."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Su Zhen raised her chin, her calm tone leaving no room for argument, "Let me see what's in your bag."

Wu Qing smiled calmly, "Some inferior spiritual artifacts are a bit filthy, so they won't offend Captain Su's eyes."

Su Zhen said calmly, "Open it."

"Captain Su..."

"I said open it!"

Su Zhen's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

In an instant, a group of police officers around them all turned their gazes toward Zhu Que and his two companions.

it's over...

Zhu Que felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Once those twenty handguns are discovered and he's taken to the police station, his status as a "born devil" will be exposed in no time.

What to do...

What should we do now...?
