《Otherworldly Merchant》Chapter 446: The Weapons List
Advertisement
At around twilight, Yu Hua came to the hotel to fetch us. Li Mazi and I carried our belongings and went with him to the Shenyang Museum. It was the second-largest museum in the country, inferior only to the Forbidden City in Beijing. This museum had a countless number of beautiful historical relics.
According to the normal routine, after it was time to clock off, there would be people on duty that stayed in the museum. No matter what, this place was full of national treasures. However, to facilitate our work, Yu Hua had sent all the guards on duty out of the hall.
For the time being, only the three of us would be in the exhibition hall.
As the night fell, the last beam of light disappeared. The whole exhibition hall became pitch-black and dead silent.
Li Mazi inadvertently shivered. I knew he wasn’t afraid of a spirit suddenly coming out. He was afraid of Yu Hue, the murderer.
I was also scared. I didn't know why, but Yu Hua seemed to be hiding a dagger behind his kind smile.
“What’s going on?” asked Yu Hua. He had noticed that Li Mazi and I were watching him.
I shook my head. “Nothing.”
Then, my gaze turned to the deserted hall.
There were many items here, and some of them probably had a spirit. I asked the other two to not fiddle with their phones or talk. The three of us sat silently on the ground amidst the awkward atmosphere.
At around midnight, a cold wind suddenly arose in the hall. The temperature dropped sharply.
I stood up and shook Li Mazi and Yu Hua, who were drowsy. “Here it comes!”
The wind came and left quickly. Except for a wisp of blood scent in the air, it seemed nothing had happened.
Yu Hua looked around and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. “What’s going on?”
I gestured to him not to talk. Then, I focused on the exhibition hall.
A moment later, we heard low footsteps in the room. It sounded as if someone was taking a walk.
I held my breath and held onto the Sirius Whip tightly. I didn’t even dare to blink.
As the footsteps grew louder, I saw a yellow sheet of paper sway in the air.
Every time we heard footsteps, the paper moved a little in the air. Although there was no wind, it could still hover.
“Little Brother Zhang, should we go over there?” said Li Mazi in a lowered voice.
I shook my head. “Let’s just watch for now.”

However, as soon as I spoke, the paper seemed to have discovered us. It started to fly toward us.
I finally saw that the sheet of paper was a list. There were many words on it. However, since the hall was entirely dark, I couldn’t recognize what was written on the list.
Li Mazi cursed under his breath, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and shined it right at the paper.
Right after, we saw blood oozing from the list!
At first, there were only some fine blood beads, but they soon stained the whole list. Eventually, drops of blood streamed down like tears, creating a small puddle on the ground.
At the same time, Yang Yuting’s angry voice came from the paper. “If you’ve come to seek death, I will fulfill your wish!”
After his voice faded, the blood on the list disappeared. The sheet of paper swayed a few times in midair then fell to the ground.
I hurried over there and picked it up. It was a list of weapons. I searched through my memory, and I soon remembered the background of this list.
Back then, the President of the Republic of China bought forty million renminbi worth of arms on loan from Japan. However, when the cargo arrived at Qinhuang Island, it was taken away by a mysterious person thanks to a bill of lading.
Yang Yuting was the one that deceived the shipping team to acquire the arms!
From that day on, Yang Yuting received the trust of warlord Zhang Zuolin. He was quickly promoted and became one of the valiant generals of the Northeastern Army. Yang Yuting had a bright career ahead of him thanks to this bill of lading. It was no wonder that after he died, a wisp of his departed soul had attached to this list.
However, he had been dead for years, and nothing strange had happened. Why did he show up all of a sudden?
Did somebody anger him?
I instinctively turned to look at Yu Hua, but I noticed that he was gone.
Not only him, but Li Mazi had also disappeared. Two men had disappeared into thin air right under my nose!
I was sure Yang Yuting had played some tricks on me. He used the list to attract my attention and kidnapped the other two.
However, he was just a spirit. How could he have kidnapped two living people and made no noise?
It hadn’t even been a minute, so Li Mazi and Yu Hua were still close. I turned on my flashlight and began searching for them.

I quickly found Yu Hua. He was pulling Li Mazi and was walking out of the hall.
Yu Hua had red eyes, and his body exuded strong resentful energy. There was no doubt that he was possessed.
I felt that this was the best-case scenario. I would just need to deal with the spirit and then deal with him.
However, I then thought that things couldn’t be that simple. If Yu Hua had a cooperative relationship with Yang Yuting, why did Yang Yuting occupy his body?
Li Mazi and I might have suspected the wrong guy. But if he wasn’t the murderer, who was?
While I was thinking, Yu Hua had already dragged Li Mazi out of the museum. The guards who were supposed to be watching outside were nowhere to be seen.
It would be hard for me to save Li Mazi by myself. Moreover, it didn’t seem that the spirit wanted to hurt him just yet. He dragged him along and left to go somewhere.
I followed them, and we soon reached the railroad. Then, both of them laid right on the rails.
My heart sank. Yang Yuting sure was ruthless!
If they laid like this, Yu Hua and Li Mazi would be cut in half when the nearest train came!
Right after, I heard the sounds of a whistle. I panicked and saw that a train was approaching fast.
“Damn, take this!” I gritted my teeth and stormed onto the railroad, lashing my Sirius Whip at Yu Hua. He screeched in agony after every lash.
However, he didn’t avoid my attack, nor did he let go of Li Mazi. The train drew nearer and nearer. I made my decision quickly. I retrieved the Sirius Whip, screamed, and dashed forward.
Yang Yuting didn’t expect that I would risk my life like this. He was perplexed for a moment. I seized the chance and pulled Li Mazi out of the rail.
In that glimpse of time, the train brushed past me, and I heard Yu Hue screech horribly.
After the train was gone, I wiped the sweat off my face and ran to check on Li Mazi. I heaved a sigh of relief when I confirmed that he was all right.
Li Mazi’s face had turned chalk white. “Little Brother Zhang, things are too scary this time!”
When he pulled his pants down, I realized that he had peed himself. It was good that there was nobody around. Otherwise, Li Mazi would become a laughing stock.
I turned to find Yu Hua, but he wasn’t as lucky as us. Both of his legs had been cut off at the knees, and his blood had dyed the railway red. He was in shock and convulsing.
Since Yang Yuting had left his body, there wasn’t much to do. Li Mazi and I hurried to get him to the hospital.
When the doctors pushed Yu Hua into the operation room, Li Mazi and I waited in the corridor, full of worry.
Li Mazi recognized that we had wronged Yu Hua. “What should we do now?”
“We’ll go to the museum. I’m sure Yang Yuting will return to that place,” I said resolutely.
Why did the guards leave? Who gave them the order to leave?
Although Yang Yuting had dragged Li Mazi to the rail, I knew that his real objective was to kill Yu Hua!
Yu Hua was disabled, and five guards were dead. After connecting these events, it was proven that there was someone wreaking havoc in the museum.
Someone had tried to borrow the hand of the spirit to murder Yu Hua but without success. Now, he would hide in the dark and sharpen his knife.
That was why Li Mazi and I only pretended to leave the hospital.
Yu Hua stayed in a single-patient room, so we could just hide under his bed.
Time ticked by. The young nurse on duty kept dozing off in her chair. After a while, she checked the corridor and quietly sneaked out.
It seemed she had snuck away to sleep. Even the nurse was lazy.
Where is her enthusiasm to serve people? I sighed.
“Little Brother Zhang, do you think that murderer will come?” Li Mazi sounded uncertain.
“He will. Unless the murderer is Yu Hua himself.”
As soon as I said that, we heard intermittent footsteps from the corridor. Someone was coming!
Li Mazi and I exchanged looks and balled our hands into fists. Soon, the patient room opened, and a man wearing a loose raincoat entered the room.
When the man saw that only Yu Hua was in the room, he took out a shining cleaver, aiming it at Yu Hua’s chest.
Although I had guessed that he would come, I was shocked to catch him trying to murder someone in a hospital.
Before he could stab Yu Hua, I kicked and sent him to the ground.
The man took a few steps back. When he saw me, he was startled. However, he quickly pulled himself together and ran away.
