Chapter 105: Dirty Money (Part 1)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As the soul which Lu Xiaoyu materialized once more, it became a black and smokey figure. Lu Shu took his clothes for him to put on, but just as Lu Xiaoyu reabsorbed the figure, the clothes fell to the ground…

It was a fact that both of them had to accept…

He wanted to test the power of this class D soul puppet, but their house was too small for any testing.

If two class D strength-based metahumans were to fight in a house, the demolition of the house was probably an understatement of a possible consequence. They could only wait for an opportunity where they could go somewhere secluded but with plenty of open space.

But Lu Shu was still rather curious, ?Must you multitask if you use him to fight??

Multitasking was not a gift everyone had. Although Lu Xiaoyu was a smart girl, Lu Shu knew that she wasn?t one who could multitask effectively.

And another problem was even if Lu Xiaoyu wholeheartedly controlled the soul puppet, she was unlikely to unleash the full potential of the puppet.

Why did he think that way? For example, Lu Shu was training swordplay now. It was a routine he was extremely familiar with and the more familiar he was, the more confidence he had which could manifest itself in terms of effectiveness.

And could Lu Xiaoyu be entirely familiar with her soul puppet? There would definitely be a distance. And for a person with class E strength, there would be a huge disparity in terms of skill and experience when it comes to manipulating a class D puppet effectively. Although she might soon reach class D, the problem would still exist as she might one day control other puppets who were of an even higher level.

Lu Xiaoyu was relaxed, ?Nope, it?s just like controlling my own body. My brain would execute the command such as getting a cup. There is no need to think of it specifically as to which hand and which finger would move first, I just have to have the notion of getting the cup… Moreover, this puppet still has some sort of awareness. It?s like I only took away its soul and opinions.?

?Oh, then does he have memory? Can you go through his memory?? Lu Shu was really curious this time. If she was able to see the puppet?s memory, wouldn?t that mean that if they were to obtain a powerful and evil practitioner puppet in future, they would understand his skills and abilities?

Lu Xiaoyu shut her eyes and tried to go through his memory, ?I could make out some of his memory, but his memory loss is extreme. There?s nothing special and his basic memory has been destroyed. The clearest memory would be the part where they robbed the bank up till the point he died. Is that the memory of the last 24 hours? Wow, Lu Shu, this punch of yours is quite suave!?

Lu Shu, having heard Lu Xiaoyu?s words, knew that she saw his punch from that fugitive?s memory and was rather delighted at her compliment, ?Haha, really??

?Nope.?

?Ha ha.?

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Shu with a strange look, ?They stole a total of 3 million dollars worth of cash and it was split into six bags. But on the first night of their escape, most of the money was left somewhere. The other two metahumans were not physically strong enough to carry so much weight around and although the strong metahuman could carry it, it was still inconvenient to move around the forest with so many bags.?

?What are you saying this for? Anyway, all the money is stolen, so what if it?s lost? They are already dead, what is the money good for?? Lu Shu said indifferently.

Lu Xiaoyu continued, ?They each had 200 thousand dollars. This metahuman had his money on his body while the other two chose to bury their money somewhere within Luo Cheng. They agreed to use this metahuman?s money first after escaping safely before coming back for their money.?

Lu Shu?s breathing became a little heavier after hearing this, ?And then??

?Although the other two criminals tried to conceal where they hid their money from this metahuman, the approximate location is still quite clear.?

At this moment, the silence was deafening in their house. This surprise was too sudden! Although this money could probably be traced and could not be deposited, and they had to spend it in fear, they could at least spend it note by note without being discovered. As long as they did not spend it on identification specific items such as plane tickets, Lu Shu felt that there would be no problem: I could probably use this money to buy daily necessities like rice safely?

Now, as long as they knew the approximate location, Lu Shu was confident of finding the money.

It wasn?t very convenient to search for the money at night. He felt it was safer to look for it over the weekend. As he was eager, he would apply for leave from Shi Qingyan in the morning. Then, he would bring Lu Xiaoyu with him down south via public transport.

Lu Shu was a good student previously. To avoid being blacklisted by the school, he abided by the school rules strictly. After all, he did not want to spend money on transferring schools.

Now, it seemed like he was living with much more liberty. He would obtain leave whenever he requested.

The bus stopped as it reached the rail station. Lu Shu, together with Lu Xiaoyu, continued heading south. Based on Lu Xiaoyu?s discovery, they had to continue treading south for about three to five kilometers. There was a forest below the expressway there.

When they reached their destination, Lu Xiaoyu pointed the location out to Lu Shu. The two of them then split up to look for markings of man-handled soil. Since the soil was dug, the soil must have some difference in color from the untouched soil.

But Lu Shu had underestimated these fugitives slightly. They must have been worried about people digging up their money so they must have had hidden the money more intricately.

After spending the entire morning searching for clues, Lu Xiaoyu finally found a plot of suspicious land. Buried under it was 40 thousand dollars of cash wrapped in plastic.

Lu Shu was slightly confused. Why was there so little? He turned around and asked, ?Did these criminals not trust each other? Hiding the money could have been an excuse when in fact, they kept the money on themselves??

He thought about how the three criminals escaped north and remembered that their clothes did seem a little abnormal, could the money have been kept within their clothes? But they couldn?t have kept so much money in their clothes, there must be more money here. But searching for the money was much tougher than what he thought initially.

This was extremely troublesome and tedious. All of a sudden, Lu Shu didn?t want to search anymore. This was, after all, money which came from underhand means. They were lucky to obtain a portion of it, and they shouldn?t be greedy for more. Moreover, these freshly printed notes had consecutive serial numbers. There wouldn?t be much practical use having a large amount of it.

Lu Xiaoyu, who was reluctant to leave, was dragged home by Lu Shu. Lu Xiaoyu turned around to look back every few steps they took. She was extremely sure and regretful that this plot of land had more money hidden…

Lu Shu was extremely flustered now that he had 40 thousand dollars of cash in his possession. Apart from the tofu business, this was the first sum of cash Lu Xiaoyu and him earned through their training!
