"Who are you?" Ah Mei snapped, glaring at Zhuang Xin, sparks practically flying from her eyes.
Her hostility was intense.
The two women were both… impressive in scale, and their temperaments leaned toward the same mature, alluring style.
Standing face to face, there was a natural sense of rivalry in the air.
Zhuang Xin turned toward Ma Jun and gave him a charming, seductive smile, her voice soft and smooth.
"My name is Zhuang Xin. I'm also a head-lowering curse master, affiliated with the Paranormal Association."
"I couldn't stand Nami's methods, so I came specifically to help you."
"This is my Paranormal Association ID. You're free to verify it."
As she spoke, Zhuang Xin took out her association credentials.
If Liu Changsheng were here and saw her acting like this, he'd definitely think he was hallucinating.
The notorious 'witch' of the Association—
acting this gentle in front of a man?
Ma Jun only gave her a brief glance.
The Paranormal Association?
He didn't bother verifying her identity—there was no need.
He could already tell her attitude clearly enough.
It was very similar to those "big sisters" and "aunties" he'd dealt with before.
When Ah Mei heard the name Paranormal Association, her aggressive aura dropped noticeably.
She hesitated.
She hadn't expected Zhuang Xin to not only outclass her in figure, but also to be a female head-lowering sorcerer.
"So," Ma Jun asked calmly, "what's your plan?"
Hearing the question, Zhuang Xin quickly laid out everything she had prepared.
"It's very simple."
"I observed from outside just now—Nami should already have mastered the Yin–Yang Head-Lowering."
"He's fallen from the righteous path to the demonic one, completely controlled by his inner demon."
"And that inner demon—"
She raised her hand and pointed straight at Ah Mei.
"—is you."
Ah Mei stiffened.
"He's obsessed with possessing you. So as long as you dress a little more provocatively—or better yet, wear nothing at all—and set a trap to lure him…"
"He will definitely come."
"Someone controlled by an inner demon can't restrain themselves."
"And I know this—if Nami sends his spirit out of his body and acts with a yin-form, then during intimate contact with you, his essence energy will weaken."
"At that exact moment, I can trace back and pinpoint his real body."
"Once we kill his true body, everything will be resolved."
Zhuang Xin spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Ah Mei's expression changed instantly.
Using her as bait?
And making her do that with Nami?
No way.
Absolutely not.
Nami might be tall and strong, but she felt nothing for him.
If it were Ma Jun instead—
She subconsciously glanced at Ma Jun.
That would be a completely different story.
Just as she was about to speak up and refuse, Chen Guobang suddenly shouted.
"No way!"
He had only just fully regained consciousness after being possessed, and the first thing he heard was Zhuang Xin's proposal.
He was so furious he nearly fainted again.
"You want my girlfriend to do that?!"
"Even if I die, I won't let Ah Mei sacrifice herself like that!"
Chen Guobang glared furiously, shouting at the top of his lungs.
But he was clearly overthinking it.
"That won't work," Ma Jun said flatly, rejecting the idea outright.
"Nami is a despicable rat hiding in the shadows. There's no need for Ah Mei to make such a sacrifice."
Ah Mei's eyes instantly reddened.
She looked at Ma Jun, deeply moved.
"Officer… you're really good to me."
Chen Guobang froze.
Something's not right…
When he defended his girlfriend, she barely reacted.
But when this officer spoke, she looked like she was about to cry?
Zhuang Xin rolled her eyes.
"There's another method."
Her expression turned a little awkward.
"In head-lowering sorcery, there's a special technique called the 'Union Descent.'"
"A man and a woman use intimacy to stimulate their power to the maximum."
"If Officer Ma is willing to help me—use Union Descent with me—then during intimacy, I can activate my ability and trace Nami's location using spider-silk karmic threads."
The room fell completely silent.
Everyone listening was stunned.
There's… a technique like that?!
Even Ah Mei's face turned bright red.
She couldn't help blurting out,
"How can you say something like that so naturally?!"
"And why would Officer Ma help you?!"
Zhuang Xin shrugged casually.
"Well? He's the only man here. Who else could cooperate with me?"
Chen Guobang and Master Luo stared blankly.
Before they even realized it, they'd been eliminated from the "male candidate list."
"N-No way!"
This time, Jiang Han spoke up, rejecting it outright.
Zhuang Xin smacked her lips, looking at Jiang Han's flushed face and clenched fists.
"There's still a little sister here. Officer Ma hasn't even said anything yet—why are you in such a rush?"
"Is Officer Ma your boyfriend or something?"
Ma Jun waved his hand.
"Let's find another way."
He didn't really mind cooperating with Zhuang Xin.
Her figure was undeniably hot—voluptuous in all the right places, and easy on the eyes.
The real issue was—
He didn't want to do that in front of a crowd.
It wasn't about embarrassment.
He was worried others might get ideas.
"Oh…"
Zhuang Xin replied reluctantly.
"These are the only two methods I have. The rest is up to you."
Ma Jun's expression shifted slightly.
He'd thought of a plan.
A bit… damn.
"You said earlier that Nami is obsessed with Ah Mei because of his inner demon, right?"
"That's right," Zhuang Xin nodded.
Ah Mei's face turned slightly pale.
Officer Ma isn't seriously thinking of sacrificing me, is he…?
If those words came from him, she'd be devastated.
"If there were someone who looked exactly like Ah Mei—same appearance, same aura—to act as bait, would Nami fall for it?"
Zhuang Xin froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"He should."
"But where would you find someone exactly the same? Even their aura has to match. Nami doesn't judge people by looks alone."
Ma Jun curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.
"I have something that can do exactly that."
The item he'd obtained from the Human-Skin Wedding Dress case—
The Ghost-Painted Skin.
It could perfectly mimic both appearance and aura.
Zhuang Xin immediately thought of that treasure as well.
Her eyes lit up.
"If that really works… then who's going to play the bait?"
Nami was extremely dangerous.
Once his demonic flames ignited, he wouldn't care who it was—he'd attack viciously.
Whoever acted as bait would be taking a huge risk.
Zhuang Xin's gaze shifted between Master Luo and Chen Guobang.
Both men felt their scalps tingle.
Don't tell me… they want us to do it?
Nami was tall and powerfully built.
Neither of them thought they'd gain any advantage against him.
Worst case scenario—
They'd be crying in pain, flowers ruined, blood everywhere.
"I—I probably can't," Master Luo hurriedly said.
"I'm injured… and I've got hemorrhoids."
Chen Guobang clenched his teeth, about to volunteer.
The whole mess started because of him.
If it came down to it, better to suffer than die!
But Ma Jun chuckled lightly.
"Relax. I'm not going to let any of you act as bait."
"After all—who says the bait has to be human?"
He paused, then asked calmly:
"Which one of you has the phone number of a slaughterhouse?"
Everyone froze.
A slaughterhouse?
Wait—don't tell me…
No way.
That's insane.
Is this even something a human mind could come up with?!
