For a moment, the junior and senior brothers, including Taoist Qingyun, were utterly speechless.
They had taught Niannian a great deal.
Over the years, they had been dealing with all sorts of ghosts and demons.
They had taught Little Bun how to deal with ghosts, play mind - games, and see through people's lies, but they had forgotten one of the most common tricks used by bad people in modern society.
They had also forgotten that they were not in the relatively safe environment of their home country but in a foreign country with a rather chaotic social system.
Here, organ - harvesting was a common occurrence, and it was not difficult at all to obtain some kind of sleeping drug.
In contrast, in their home country, getting hold of such drugs was next to impossible.
This was why Niannian had no defense at all, and they had never thought that someone would kidnap her in such a way.
"What a despicable move," Liu Chuchen cursed under his breath, covering his nose and quickly backing out of the room.
If he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
He couldn't afford to be out of commission before they even rescued the girl.
"We watched the surveillance for a long time. Niannian came in and never came out again. Then, Master came back. So, little junior sister must have been first drugged unconscious and then taken out of this hotel by some supernatural means. We should look for people in this field," Shen Weixun pondered for a while. After backing out of the room and taking a few normal breaths to steady himself, he finally spoke.
"But we're strangers in this land. Where can we look? It was easy to catch that guy because we happened to be receiving clients during this period, and you happen to have some connections and resources. But if the person who kidnapped Niannian isn't in the open business, how can we find them?"
It was needless to say that Taoist Qingyun must have calculated Little Bun's location before they came back. If he had found something, Master wouldn't have been so anxious.
Zhang Zicheng didn't think that his third junior brother's connections would be of any use now.
People who did such underhanded things usually didn't operate openly.
The bald man they caught was actually a proper voodoo master.
He had cast a spell on Zhang Zicheng only because of a misunderstanding.
Some of Zhang Zicheng's actions at that time were considered insults in the local area.
The bald man thought that Zhang Zicheng had not only bumped into him but also insulted him. Out of anger, he cast the spell.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the bald man voluntarily lifted the spell.
After the spell was lifted, he even offered to go back with them to meet their master.
"There's someone here who knows this place well," Shen Weixun silently turned his gaze to the bald man. His main arena was in his home country, and he really didn't have many resources to use in a foreign land.
But local voodoo masters communicated and even competed with each other. Unless the person who kidnapped Niannian never went out, they should be able to find out something.
The others also thought of the bald man.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on him, making the bald man feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What do you want?"
The man spoke in a language they didn't understand.
It would be inconvenient to find a translator for the questions they wanted to ask next. Just like Niannian, Shen Weixun thought of a common language they all used when dealing with ghosts.
Ghost language.
"Do you know ghost language?"
"Of course I do. Are you testing me?"
Finally able to communicate normally, the bald man heaved a sigh of relief.
"No. Someone is missing here. We suspect it was done by a fellow voodoo master. We don't have many connections here, so we want to ask you."
"Someone was kidnapped?"
The bald man was slightly taken aback.
Voodoo masters were divided into good and bad. Although he walked on the line between the two, he wouldn't do anything too extreme.
He didn't have much contact with evil voodoo masters, but he had heard of some of them.
"What kind of person is missing?"
"A little girl, six years old."
"Well, I think you should look for Rosa. He specializes in making child - ghosts. But a six - year - old is already over the age. It couldn't have been him. And it doesn't seem to make much sense for others to kidnap a six - year - old. If you want to find him, I can lead the way. I'm on good terms with him."
The bald man quickly rummaged through his memory and thought of this person, but he was very sure that his friend couldn't have done this.
Making child - ghosts required newly born babies, and such babies were not hard to find. As long as one cooperated with some hospitals or illegal clinics, there were countless aborted babies. There was no need to commit a crime.
One could solve the problem by spending a little money. There was no need to take such a big risk.
But his friend had a rather shady way of doing things, and most of his friends were neither completely good nor completely bad. Maybe he could provide some clues.
"Then we'll trouble you. If we find the girl, I'll give you a reward."
Shen Weixun nodded slightly and quickly urged the bald man to lead the way.
The group left the building and found Rosa, as the bald man had said, in an apartment in a bustling downtown area.
Rosa was dressed in a black robe, looking like he didn't want to be seen in the light. After hearing their purpose, he immediately blurted out, "Ah, I think I probably know who did this."
After saying this, he shut up.
He showed no sign of continuing.
Okay, they got the message.
"If you tell us this information, I can pay you two hundred thousand," Shen Weixun said without hesitation. He was rich and only wanted the information now.
"Actually, I'm not very sure if it was him. But he's bought a lot of ghosts from me recently, regardless of their quality. He's also bought a lot of ghosts from other fellow voodoo masters. Some of the ghosts had just died and weren't even ready to be trained. They were useless, but he still bought them at a high price.
According to what you said, you must have been targeted for a long time. The harassment last night was probably not as simple as it seemed. Currently, the only person who can control so many ghosts and has so many in his possession is this guy. I can give you his address, but you have to pay me, and you can't tell anyone that I gave you this information."
A problem that could be solved with two hundred thousand was nothing to them.
None of them were short of money.
Shen Weixun readily agreed, paid the money, and got an address.
The bald man was a nosy type. Knowing that they were going to take action, he tagged along happily.
Glancing at the address written by Rosa, he said in surprise, "How could it be him? He hasn't been active for a long time. He's the most powerful voodoo master here. Oh my god, if it really was him, it'll be very difficult for you to get the girl back."
