Chapter 143 - 0143: Kelington (2600 supplement, four more ask for monthly tickets!)



Half a month later, Collington Manor.

The Kelington Family started their wealth through livestock farming, and the current master of the manor is Lukas Kelington, a man obsessively fascinated with noble etiquette.

He adored extravagant clothes, exquisite food, and loved throwing grand parties in the manor. With rigorous standards, he required both himself and his servants to act sophisticatedly, seemingly in hopes of scrubbing away his nouveau riche image and breaking into the Federation’s social elite.

But half a year ago, Lukas ran into trouble.

An evil spirit from his dreams came for him. According to him, in his nightmares, there was always this evil spirit chasing him, depriving him of peaceful sleep.

Of course, it was just that.

Regardless of which doctor he saw, none could free him from this torment.

This situation persisted until three months ago when a series of bloody incidents occurred in the manor. The victims were not humans, but animals!

From the gardener’s cat to the gatekeeper’s hunting dog, and finally, Lukas’s beloved horse.

Forced by the escalating situation, the wealthy businessman offered a reward.

Unfortunately, the nightmare situation remains unresolved to this day.

The dream demon was very cunning. Even if a supernatural being could scare it away, it would inevitably return as soon as they departed.

The last few times were precisely like this.

Even the local bishop of the Goddess Church didn’t have a good solution.

After all, he had more important things to do and could not be Lukas’s bodyguard. Moreover, the evil spirit seemed quite restrained—it hadn’t killed a single person so far, and it didn’t spread, so its harm wasn’t substantial. Recalling the information he had collected, Su Lu arrived at Collington Manor.

“Hello, may I know who you are?”

A male servant came to welcome him and politely inquired. “Sean, a private detective. We had an appointment indeed!”

Su Lu declared his new identity.

He did not have the guts like Rod to impersonate a Federation law enforcement officer.

However, the identity of a private detective was more than enough.

The ability to invade the mind, courtesy of [Mystical Scholar], made his disguise seamless. Indeed, in the files, there was such a person.

“So you are Mr. Otto, please come in!”

The servant seemed to have heard of this name and invited Su Lu into the manor, leading him to a sitting room.

After a short wait, a butler with a silver head of hair and somewhat languished spirit appeared, courteously inviting Su Lu to sit and enjoy afternoon tea with Kangni State traits.

It was evident that their moves were professionally trained, and the tea and desserts were exquisitely prepared.

Lukas indeed knew how to enjoy life.

As Su Lu sighed inwardly, the butler’s voice reached his ears: “The master is currently meeting a guest, can you please wait a bit?”

“No problem.”

While savoring the delicacies, Su Lu examined the elegant decoration and antiques around him, while also keeping an eye on the changes in his attributes:

“Well, my spirit has increased to 5.1, but my constitution has decreased to 1.8, the effect of the Evil Potion is still quite strong, there is not even a stacking effect. But this… is a bait!”

Although there was no weakened effect caused by drug resistance, Su Lu knew very well that once used in large doses within a short span, it could result in a dramatic rise in mental pollution to an irreparable level. And the outcome would inevitably be tragic!

Perhaps, this was a forbidden zone that many [Witch Doctors] were not even aware of!

He kept the reminder of the attribute tab in mind, carefully utilized Evil Potion during this period to boost his spiritual power, and broke through the 5.0 mark.

Moreover, he tried to stagger the drug-taking times, minimizing the pollution to the minimum.

By now, he has fully fulfilled the conditions to advance to the third stage [Odd Technician]. Only if…

‘The experience is not enough… Upgrading to the third stage [Odd Technician] requires 1000 experience points, but even If I can upgrade, I would suppress it. But I must maintain the ability to upgrade at any time. Maybe I can trap Beryl at a crucial moment .

As for the problem of constitution decrease brought about by this, Su Lu thought it was undoubtedly worth it.

‘After only three doses, the concentration of mental pollution has reached a critical threshold. I won’t be able to use Evil Potion to boost for a long time…

unless I want to turn into a madman!’

Because of this state, Su Lu, after having all the means prepared, began to search for traces of the ‘Disguiser’.

‘”Disguiser’ is a second-tier subject, I am not afraid of her.. This is a good opportunity to gain materials and experience.”

Of course, Su Lu was not jumping to conclusions. He was cautious within his heart and had gathered some information early on.

At least, the evil spirit in this manor didn’t seem to have a murderous nature.

Running rampant for half a year, it hadn’t killed a single person, so its threat level was indeed very low.

Even if it wasn’t the Disguiser, it would be worth a try for the sake of experience points.

“Enough! I have told you… It is not my hallucination, I need protection! More protection!”

Just then, a group came down from the second floor.

Su Lu looked and saw that the leader was a very tired and irritable white-haired old man.

He was not very old, but the long-lasting torment had turned his hair white, his eyes sunken, and with heavy eye bags, it was evident he hadn’t had a good rest for a long time.

“Those Federation officials… I pay so much in taxes every year, and what’s the result? When I’m in danger, who is there to protect me? And the Goddess Church… I’ve made such hefty donations, and they only sent a bishop to guard me for half a month.”

Lukas complained, turning to his butler.

“Sir, this is the private detective you’ve made an appointment with!”

The butler immediately stepped forward and introduced Su Lu to Lukas.

“You’re Sean?”

Lukas cast a scrutinizing look on Su Lu, “You know what I’ve asked for!”

Behind him were a few bodyguards and private detectives, it was evident he had hired more than one person.

“I know…quite powerful!”

Su Lu smiled, emphasizing the last few words.

“Exactly, protection is the priority, and it would be best if you could find and deal with the evil spirit!”

Lukas calmed down, lit a cigar, and took a deep puff, that of which appeared to revitalize his spirit, emanating the aura of a successful businessman, “I apologize… I was a bit mentally strained earlier.” “No problem!”

Su Lu politely reassured it was not an issue.

“So… back to our topic, how do you proof of your power?”

Lukas asked in a solemn voice.

“If you insist on it…”

The moment Su Lu’s words fell, he moved and was beside Lukas in a flash. His right hand blocked and sent a bodyguard flying, while his left hand snatched a firearm from another female detective, and then he returned to his seat.

All these happened so quickly that by the time the other bodyguards reacted, Su Lu was already fiddling with the firearm.

“Stop!”

Lukas halted the actions of the others, his eyes brightening, “Not bad… you’re hired. Sign the contract with my butler, the salary is as previously promised..”
