Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 75: Five Rats Bring Wealth

As a secular man who had just entered the secular world, Lin Beixuan had no good things on him except the purple jade gourd he was wearing. The store he often guarded also sold retail food and beverages.

Compared to those secular sons who joined some forces and made a lot of money, he is simply a poor guy.

But even so, he still couldn't escape the eyes of worldly thieves, who looted his shop.

This is... a bit too much!

Lin Beixuan had a gloomy face. During the time since he returned to the human world from the secular world, he had intentionally taken off the horoscope he was wearing, fearing that people familiar with him would notice the changes in himself. However, his temperament was still affected invisibly.

Especially when his emotions are fluctuating greatly, his entire temperament will gradually change to be gloomy and fierce.

Looking at the empty shelves in the shop, Lin Beixuan walked in slowly with a sullen face.

At present, this store is his lifeblood. He was counting on the store's business to make his first pot of gold after graduation. Unexpectedly, he suffered a setback in life after just a few days.

We don’t even know who did it, and there’s no point in even calling the police.

The police can manage worldly law and order, but they cannot deal with worldly issues unless they go to the relevant departments.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan's veins bulged on the back of his hands and he angrily punched the shelf next to him.

Just at this moment, a prompt suddenly came from the panel.

[You have captured the remaining aura of the Five Rats of Kongyun. Capturing more auras will give you some clues about the Five Rats.]

The Five Rats of Kongyun? That name doesn't sound like a group of ordinary people.

Lin Beixuan's face was slightly startled, and his eyes became solemn.

He began to search everywhere in the store, looking for places where the other person's scent might be left.

[You have captured the remaining aura of the Five Rats of Kongyun - the Welcoming Rat. Capturing more auras can unlock some information about the Welcoming Rat.]

Lin Beixuan opened the shelf and looked at the empty ground behind it, but the prompt message still popped up on the panel.

"That means the other party once stayed here for a short time."

Lin Beixuan had some ideas in his mind. He walked to the corner and touched it with his palm. After getting the hint, he went to the compartment and the counter...

[You have captured the remaining aura of the Five Rats of Kongyun - the Blessing Rat. Capturing more auras can unlock some information about the Blessing Rat. ]

[You have captured the remaining breath of the Longevity Rat of the Five Rats of Kongyun...]

[You have captured the remaining aura of the Five Rats of Kongyun - Li Lu Rat...]

[You have captured the remaining aura of the Five Rats of Kongyun - Jiangxi Rat...]

After exploring every corner of the store, Lin Beixuan turned around and sat back in his seat, looking thoughtful.

The Five Rats of Kongyun.

Wealth, happiness, fortune, prosperity and longevity.

Each rat corresponds to a character. Judging from the name, these five rats should be auspicious rats. How could they do such a sneaky thing?

Or is there someone behind the scenes controlling it?

Although he now has some clues, there are still many things in Lin Beixuan's mind that are difficult to understand.

After he captured the breath of the Five Rats, he now had successfully obtained some clues. When he used the method of looking at the air of the Food and Breath Jue, he could find a wisp of white mist floating in the air.

This wisp of white mist extended from inside the store to outside, and into the flow of people on the street, with no one knowing where it led to.

Lin Beixuan frowned, looked at the empty shop, sighed, and for a moment didn't know what to do next.

Follow the clues?
He did have this idea in his mind, but his strength did not allow it. What if he was discovered and disappeared from the face of the earth?

The best way now is to hide, report the case to the police, and pretend that nothing happened. But Lin Beixuan was angry and it was hard for him to suppress it.

Coincidentally, at this moment, two people walked into the store.

They were Jie Jing and Su Hongying, whom I had just met yesterday.

After Jie Jing walked in, he looked at the empty shop in surprise, shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Lin Beixuan shrugged, looking somewhat helpless: "The two officers came by chance. I was just about to call to report the case."

The corner of Jie Jing's mouth twitched. In the past, similar incidents caused by worldly problems around the world were solved by the worldly man himself. This was the first time he heard of reporting a case.

But from another perspective, it is also a good thing. At least it shows that Lin Beixuan respects the laws of Xuan Kingdom very much.

"We received a notice from our superiors that a large-scale theft of Su Shizi's belongings occurred in Los Angeles last night, so we came to find you as soon as possible today."

"Looking for me?" Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows.

"After all, you are a layman in my jurisdiction, so of course I have to see if you have suffered any disaster." Jie Jing looked around the store and said leisurely, "At the moment, it seems that your losses are quite serious."

"..."

Lin Beixuan rolled his eyes.

This is nonsense. His entire store was emptied out.

"How is your official investigation going now?" Lin Beixuan asked after thinking for a while.

Jie Jing did not hide anything about this matter and shook his head: "At present, we have only found out that the thief is not a secular child. It is very likely that he is a monster from the secular world who accidentally stepped into the human world. Other clues are not convenient to talk about for the time being."

Lin Beixuan didn't say anything when he heard this. He had already guessed in his heart that Jie Jing would give this answer.

If it were just some worldly spirit causing trouble.

If the Five Rats of Kongyun could steal so many things without anyone knowing, there must be something magical about them.

Maybe these five mice themselves are treasures.

If he had investigated the other party's clues and learned about the strangeness of these five mice, he would not have told this secret to others, let alone an unofficial secular boy.

Seeing that Lin Beixuan didn't say anything, Jie Jing took Su Hongying and left Fu Sheng Xiaoji.

This large-scale theft in Los Angeles caused a big uproar. The day before yesterday, the official sent a layman to investigate the theft in the retail supplier's warehouse. As a result, the official's things were stolen the next day. It was a complete loss of face.

Therefore, the leader of the Los Angeles Secular Abnormal Investigation Bureau was furious, and directly transferred a group of people from Shangjing to work with the Los Angeles Secular Prince to deal with this incident.

After several hours of investigation, a conclusion was quickly reached.

This is not the case of an older generation of worldly people committing crimes under the influence of worldly things, but rather worldly spirits crossing the boundary and descending into the human world.

This phenomenon is actually not uncommon.

Since the secular world came to power, the boundary between the secular world and the real world has gradually become blurred.

During the transit, humans may suffer from sleeping sickness and be able to enter the secular world. Naturally, the evil spirits in the secular world will also step into the living world through the moving transit points by chance.

So far, Xuan Kingdom has dealt with hundreds of abnormal incidents caused by evil spirits.

Lin Beixuan watched Jie Jing and the other man leave, his eyes still in the state of observing the energy, and turned towards the energy of the Five Rats extending from the store again.

Perhaps he should change his mind and follow this breath to find out where it came from.

Staying hidden and developing is a good choice, but if you want to quickly improve your ability to protect yourself in the real world, you must take some risks.

Wealth, happiness, fortune, longevity, empty clouds and five rats.

You can go and see it.
