"Don't—!"
The man screamed in terror, but it was far too late to stop Ma Jun's attack.
The heavy hammer crashed down mercilessly.
His head was smashed straight into his torso.
Just like that, his life of sin came to an end.
Ma Jun bent down and picked up the strange membrane-like item from the ground.
[Ghost-Painted Skin (Epic Grade)]
Allows perfect imitation of another person or creature, while granting a bonus to Strength.
This item can be split, allowing two people to use it simultaneously. The duplicated copy lasts for twelve hours.
Usage Requirement: Thoroughly rub the item over the person or object you wish to imitate.
Item Effect: Strength +6
Not bad!
Ma Jun was very satisfied with this item.
After obtaining the Ghost-Painted Skin, the item he had previously taken from Qiqi's "fake boyfriend" gradually vanished.
It seemed that one had merely been a replica.
Another epic-grade item secured.
Even though he already had [Praise] for imitation purposes, who would ever complain about having too many epic items?
A +6 Strength bonus alone made it extremely versatile.
If put up in the trading hall, it would fetch a hefty price.
"You… you really killed him?"
Liu Changsheng shouted in disbelief.
Ma Jun glanced at him. "Any problem?"
The bloody scene from earlier had left Liu Changsheng with a deep sense of fear toward Ma Jun.
Grinding his teeth, he said, "You killed him—now no one knows how to use that treasure!"
"And that concerns you?" Ma Jun replied calmly, tossing the Ghost-Painted Skin into his inventory.
Liu Changsheng's eyes spun wildly. "This case was taken over by our Paranormal Association! That treasure should rightfully belong to us too!"
"Hm?"
Ma Jun raised his gaze slightly. His eyes turned cold in an instant.
Liu Changsheng shuddered and hurriedly forced a stiff smile.
"I… I didn't really help anyway. The item should be yours."
Ma Jun snorted and ignored him, leaving with Jiang Han.
Liu Changsheng stared at Ma Jun's retreating back, grinding his teeth.
"What arrogance!"
Ma Jun's overwhelming strength had shaken him, but the greed in his heart still hadn't faded.
"That thing is definitely a priceless treasure. No way I'm just letting that brat take it for free."
"Hmph. I'm better at dealing with ghosts than fighting people."
"Just you wait. People from the Case-Solving Bureau dare to provoke our Paranormal Association? You won't have a good ending!"
…
Ma Jun notified the Hong Kong Island police to clean up the scene.
The murderer had been killed on the spot, so there was nothing more for him to handle.
"I'm sorry… I didn't manage to help much," Jiang Han said with some regret.
Resolving a nightmare-level case so easily—she had basically just stood there the whole time.
"Of course not," Ma Jun replied. "You're still very useful."
"Your figure is good—it helps stimulate my thinking."
Jiang Han's face instantly flushed red.
"I… I…"
She felt like Ma Jun might be teasing her, but his tone was so serious that she couldn't tell.
"You don't think you didn't help, right?" Ma Jun continued.
"In a bit, there might be something I'll need your help with."
Jiang Han's heart jumped, and she answered without hesitation:
"No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I'll help you."
"Relax. It's nothing too difficult," Ma Jun said lightly.
"Then… what are we going to do?" Jiang Han asked nervously.
"We're going to get a room," Ma Jun replied seriously.
"Huh?!"
This time, Jiang Han was completely stunned.
...
"Just the two of you—one room?" the receptionist asked.
"Yes," Ma Jun nodded immediately.
Jiang Han followed behind him, not daring to lift her head.
Under the receptionist's ambiguous gaze, the two entered the room together.
"You go shower first," Ma Jun said.
Jiang Han's whole body trembled.
Her mind went completely blank.
She had prepared herself mentally—but Ma Jun being this straightforward still left her flustered.
She never imagined he would actually bring her to a hotel.
Ma Jun had saved her life several times and led her through nightmare-level missions.
Thinking it through, the only thing she could offer in return…
Was her body.
She bit her lip and made up her mind.
If it was Ma Jun, she could accept it.
"C-could you… not look…?" she stammered.
"Okay," Ma Jun replied decisively, turning around.
To the sound of soft rustling, Jiang Han took off her coat.
Her figure was indeed excellent.
At 170 cm tall, long trained legs, with all the right curves exactly where they should be.
Barefoot, she stepped onto the soft carpet, parted her slender legs, and hurried into the bathroom.
After finishing her shower, she lay on the bed, eyes tightly shut.
Her breathing was rapid, her chest rising and falling nonstop.
"C-come… come on!" she mustered her courage.
"Alright," Ma Jun said, walking over. "Then I'll start."
"…Mm."
Jiang Han responded softly, goosebumps breaking out all over her body.
Just as she waited nervously for the most important moment of her life—
Ma Jun took out the Ghost-Painted Skin from his inventory.
And began rubbing it all over Jiang Han's body.
Jiang Han:
