Chapter 8 Transfer Failure
Chapter 8 Transfer Failure
This is why only those who have "entered the Dao" and "entered sainthood" can explore the spirit world with their souls.
Dong Guanfei now fully understands Dong Guotao's good intentions.
Therefore, it is understandable that the original owner of this body was tormented so badly by the witch Xie Miaoning.
His encounter with Xie Miaoning was like a stubborn bronze player in "Prince of Glory" meeting a legendary king.
How do you play?
In addition, Dong Guotao did leave clues for the original owner, but the original owner couldn't figure them out.
Because Dong Guotao's catchphrase is: "When you see that egg, you'll understand."
The original owner of this body didn't see the egg, so he didn't understand.
Dong Guanfei saw the Vermilion Bird egg, and that's when he understood.
More than three months before Dong Guotao disappeared, he and the original owner of the body had casually sketched a bird with stones in two different places while traveling.
The first time, the original owner asked what kind of bird it was, and Dong Guotao replied that it was a Vermilion Bird. Then he told the original owner some legends about the Vermilion Bird, and then jokingly said that the Vermilion Bird would not land in places without treasure, and then he erased the picture of the Vermilion Bird.
It is obvious that Dong Guotao likely left treasures in the ruins of those two temples.
Dong Guanfei currently lacks the resources to rapidly improve his cultivation level, and is also unable to cope with the impending dangers.
Therefore, he needs to gather all available resources and then consider how to allocate and use them.
The most dangerous group is the "evil-eyed witch" because they can really kill him instantly and can locate him.
Otherwise, with the help of "Ruyi," he could freely change his appearance and voice, and his safety was basically not a concern.
Therefore, Dong Guanfei could deal with his other opponents gradually, but he needed to strike swiftly and decisively against the "Evil-Eyed Witch" and wipe them out completely.
This villa is uninhabitable for the time being; the enemy could come knocking at any time.
He even suspected that he was being monitored.
He needed to get started while there was still time.
With this in mind, Dong Guanfei immediately went into the building and quickly packed his luggage.
For someone who needs to flee, having a backpack with five cubic meters of space feels amazing.
In less than half an hour, he packed his bicycle, all his clothes and valuables into his spatial backpack, and also prepared five buckets of tap water.
A capacity of five cubic meters is equivalent to a space that is 2.5 meters long, 2 meters high, and 1 meter wide, which is more than enough to hold all these things.
He had nineteen silver dollars left.
Every time Yinlilai Money Shop extended a loan for the original owner, it would incur a large penalty interest, which had to be paid before the extension could be processed.
The original owner of this body applied for two extensions, almost squeezing out all the more than four hundred silver dollars that Xie Miaoning had sent over, as well as the more than five hundred silver dollars that he had in his own hands.
What a terrible thing that a perfectly good young man has been ruined by!
Those financial vampires and Xie Miaoning deserve to die!
In addition, more than a month before his disappearance, Dong Guotao prepared a residence permit for the original owner of the Golden Eagle Federal Concession next door, saying it was better to be prepared than not.
The concessions implemented a household registration system, and the Xia people were required to register with the Municipal Council, but there were no strict household registration restrictions.
Long-term residents can obtain a "residence permit", but not a formal household registration, because the Xia people are not citizens of the Bilcardia Empire, so the Xia people have no public rights in the concession.
Migrant workers need to apply for a "temporary residence permit".
The residence permit includes the holder's name, gender, age, address, occupation, and validity period, but no photo or fingerprints.
The household registration system was very crude.
It is said that even in the major Western kingdoms and empires, such identity documents were not available, and citizens only used passports with photos when traveling abroad.
The holder of this residence permit is named Li Yuanzhi, and his occupation is student.
The issuing authority for the document was the Municipal Council of the Golden Eagle Federal Concession.
Soon, he stepped out the door wearing a pair of black leather shoes, a blue suit and gray trousers, and empty-handed.
The residential buildings in this area are mainly detached houses, so rickshaws are allowed to bring customers in, but waiting for customers here is not permitted.
After walking forty or fifty meters, Dong Guanfei saw two rickshaws under the cypress trees by the roadside, so he chose the one driven by the younger driver.
He kept an eye out for anyone watching him along the way.
If so, they are most likely at key intersections—perhaps on the street or inside a house—and convey information through gestures or certain markings.
About fifteen minutes later, he got off the bus at the entrance of Daxin Department Store, about three kilometers away, and spent three one-cent coins.
A small silver dollar was worth about half the value of a large silver dollar, and about one-twentieth the value of an eagle dollar—equivalent to fifteen RMB.
He found no one monitoring or following him.
However, he is not an expert in tracking and stalking, so it cannot be confirmed at this time.
Daxin Department Store is a six-story building with a white exterior, combining Eastern and Western architectural styles. It is constructed of reinforced concrete and has a simple and clear facade, covering an area of approximately 20,000 square meters.
The roof features a tall, square, hollow tower and two corner pavilions, making it a landmark building on this commercial street.
The store offers a wide variety of goods and services, combining shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The first, second, and third floors sell daily necessities, tobacco and alcohol, silk, fashion, shoes and hats, watches, cameras, and so on.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors house restaurants, tea rooms, hair salons, and hotels.
The mall had just opened, and there weren't many customers; most of them were going up to the restaurants and tea rooms on the fourth and fifth floors.
Apart from the lack of various electrical appliances, Dong Guanfei felt that it was not much different from the large shopping malls in the second and third-tier cities he had visited before.
Without pausing, he strode into the mall and then quickly went up to the third-floor area specializing in watches and cameras.
The shop assistants were mostly tidying up items in the shops, so he went straight into the public restroom at the far end of one side of the mall.
The public restroom was empty, so he quickly changed into a gray Western-style suit, then a pair of brown leather shoes, and finally put on a black silk top hat, holding a mahogany walking stick inlaid with silver in his hand.
Then, he activated the "Ruyi" and imagined the chubby face of middle-aged Leonardo DiCaprio in his mind.
"Ruyi" immediately projected a full-body image of Leonardo DiCaprio with brown hair and blue eyes into his field of vision.
With a thought, the image merged into his body.
The deformation was completed in just two or three seconds.
At this moment, he appears to others as this picture suggests.
There are two ways in which the "ruyi" can be deformed.
One possibility is that the body actually undergoes a transformation; another is that the body itself remains unchanged, but other people's perceptions are distorted.
The latter requires twice the mana of the former, but it is more convenient and faster.
Then, Dong Guanfei walked out of the public restroom, went downstairs unhurriedly, and left the mall.
Along the way, almost all the Xia people quickly and proactively gave way.
Soon, he got into a rickshaw and headed to another Xinxin Department Store, about 700 or 800 meters away.
About ten minutes later, Dong Guanfei changed into a gray long gown and a pair of black cloth shoes in the public restroom on the second floor of Xinxin Department Store. He put away his walking stick, put on a gray woolen flat-top hat, and looked exactly like a student.
The transformation had stopped, and he had returned to his original appearance, only with his top hat pulled low, obscuring most of his face.
At his current level, using "Ruyi" is still too strenuous for him.
In just a short while, he almost couldn't hold on and nearly had to use his general points.
He then took a rickshaw to Huashan, about 24 or 25 kilometers to the northwest.
Meanwhile, at the Zhujiawan Police Station, in the office of the Director of the Special Investigations Department.
Behind an extravagant mahogany executive desk, Edward Smith, sporting a shaved head, looked helplessly at Anna standing opposite him, shrugged, and said, "Sorry, Anna, Dong Guanfei cannot be transferred to your group."
