Chapter 635 The Paper Puppet Skill
Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang looked at each other, surprised. They didn’t expect that the thief was the future controller of the Hidden Web.
And it was the first time they saw someone rob the rich to help the poor. They never thought that there was such an innocent and pure person in today’s world, where everyone seemed to be cynical and selfish.
After confirming that what she had said was true, Qin Haodong removed the Mind-Manipulating spell and said to Donnie Randall, “I caught you stealing my paintings and you should pay the price, no matter who you are.
“Considering that you’re trying to do something righteous, I will strike off the ransom of 1,000,000,000 yuan. Besides, I won’t hurt you or destroy your cultivation either.”
Donnie Randall let out a long sigh of relief. She realized that this young man was not making fun of her.
Qin Haodong added, “But you have to make promises. First of all, the Hidden Web can’t do anything to harm my interests. Secondly, the Hidden Web must offer help whenever I need you.”
Qin Haodong couldn’t refuse the great power behind the Hidden Web. In fact, he would possess a strong intelligence system if the Hidden Web promised to offer help. It was even more powerful than that of many countries.
“Okay, I promise!”
Donnie Randall agreed without any hesitation. She thought that the priority now was to keep her cultivation intact and this young man would not be able to catch her again if she managed to leave here today.
“That’s great!”
However, Qin Haodong seemed to have seen through her and a strange smile appeared on his face. He took a piece of yellow paper and cut it into the shape of a man. Then he drew a few strange symbols on it.
He grabbed her right hand and p.r.i.c.ked her index finger with a fruit knife. The blood dripped to the paper man.
Donnie Randall couldn’t move with her acupoints sealed. She cried out in horror, “What are you doing?!”
“Calm down. I just want to make sure that you’re not lying to me.”
While they were speaking, the drop of blood disappeared in the paper man strangely.
“That’s it.” Qin Haodong unlocked her acupoints, raised the paper man, and explained, “This is called the Paper Puppet Skill in Huaxia, and I can control your life and death through it.
“But don’t be nervous. I won’t hurt you as long as you keep your promise.”
Donnie Randall was stunned. Obviously, she didn’t understand nor believe in what he had just said.
“It seems that I have to show you how it works.”
Qin Haodong raised his hand and spanked the paper man.
“Ah!”
Donnie Randall suddenly screamed as if someone had just spanked her. She felt a burning sensation in her b.u.t.t.
She turned around to make sure that there was no one else in this room.
“There’s no one else. It’s me.”
Qin Haodong spanked the paper man once again to prove that he was telling the truth.
Donnie Randall now believed him. The paper man was ‘another her’ and she would be killed if Qin ripped up the piece of paper right now.
She was panicked and terrified. What magic was it? It was too powerful and scary!
“How do you feel? Do you believe me now? Don’t worry, I won’t use this paper man to hurt you as long as you keep your promise.”
Donnie Randall suddenly realized something. She said angrily, “Why did you spank me? Don’t you know that a girl’s b.u.t.t can’t be touched?”
Qin Haodong smiled at her without saying anything. Then, he looked away at the chest of the paper man.
“Ah!”
Having realized something, Donnie Randall shouted nervously,” Please! Please, don’t touch it!”
She would rather die than let Qin Haodong touch the paper man’s chest.
“Don’t worry. As long as you keep your promise, I won’t take out the paper man again.” Qin Haodong put it in his pocket and then gave Donnie Randall a black pill.
“This is an elixir refined by me. It’s beneficial to you and you can see it as my compensation for spanking you or a reward for your help to the poor.”
“Is it poisonous?” Donnie Randall asked warily.
.
“It’s a snap to kill you, so why should I waste a precious pill?” Qin Haodong explained, “This is called the Big Strengthening Pill and the materials are very expensive. It’s definitely a priceless treasure for you.”
Donnie Randall thought for a while and found that the young man didn’t need to poison her. Thus, she took the pill and felt that all her blood was boiling.
As she became stronger, the yoga skill, which hadn’t been improved for a long time, suddenly made a breakthrough and entered upon a new phase.
This young man didn’t lie to her. The Big Strengthening Pill was a miracle.
“How is it? How do you feel now?”
Qin Haodong gave her a small jade bottle and said, “There are three Big Strengthening Pills in it. It’s a gift.”
He had to combine the “carrot and stick” together to control this girl. If he suppressed and criticized them all the time, they would rebel against him one day.
Besides, although this girl was a thief, she had always been robing the rich to help the poor and didn’t keep the money herself, which impressed him. That was the reason why he gave her 4 Big Strengthening Pills.
“Thank you!”
Donnie Randall realized the value of these pills—they were definitely priceless treasures!
Her father had been worried that she was not strong enough to master the Hidden Web. But now, with these pills, she would definitely make a breakthrough and impress her father.
Qin Haodong said, “In order to show your sincerity, can you help me find some information about a person?”
“No problem.”
Donnie Randall was completely amazed by Qin’s skills. She took out a palm-sized minicomputer and said, “Who is it? There’s no one in the world that our Hidden Web can’t find.
“I can find everything about him as long as you tell me his name.”
“Qin Zongheng.” Qin Haodong said, “Please find out where he is now.”
“Wait a moment.”
Donnie Randall typed the name on the microcomputer but to her surprise, there was no message on the screen.
“Did you find anything?” Qin Haodong asked nervously.
It seemed that he cared much about his father, though he had never seen him before.
“All his information has disappeared 21 years ago, and we can’t find any news about him since then.”
Donnie Randall felt awkward and didn’t know what to say. She had just talked big, but she didn’t expect that she would find nothing about this man.
Qin Haodong was quite calm. If it were so easy to find his father’s whereabouts, Chu Xuanyue would have found him years ago.
He asked, “Under what circ.u.mstances would you fail to find someone’s information?”
Donnie Randall said, “We can’t find him if he hides deep into the woods or if he’s already dead.”
Qin Haodong nodded. His intuition was telling him that Qin Zongheng was not dead. As such, he must be hiding somewhere remote and desolate.
He removed the Phantom Magic Field in the room and said, “Well, you can go now.”
But Donnie Randall didn’t leave the room immediately. She said, “Many people know that you have Pica.s.so’s paintings now. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Great Cracker are also here. And they are searching for your paintings.
“I’m greatly impressed by your skills, but they’re powerful and you’d better be more careful.”
Qin Haodong smiled and asked, “Aren’t you the Artful Dodge? Are they even better at stealing than you?”
Donnie Randall said, “I’m just in third place among antique thieves and the best is Great Cracker, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Smith. To be honest, they are better than me.”
Qin Haodong said, “Thank you for reminding me. But it’s not easy to steal things from me.”
“Alright, I’m leaving. Goodbye! Never see you again!”
Donnie Randall jumped out of the window and then disappeared.
“I didn’t expect that we could meet the future controller of the Hidden Web tonight.”
Qin Haodong was in a good mood now because he would be more powerful with the help of the Hidden Web.
But his face suddenly clouded when he found out that the pile of Pica.s.so’s paintings on the table were gone.
It had only been two or three minutes since the illusions had been removed, but all these paintings were gone. The thief must be extremely good at stealing.
It was definitely not Donnie Randall who took the paintings. Then, it must be the Great Cracker or Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Nalan Wushuang said, “What should we do now?”
“It’s not easy to steal my paintings. All of them have marks of the Divine Sense. We will find him soon.”
Then he took Nalan Wushuang’s hands and went out of the window like two big birds, flying in the direction of the Divine Sense Mark.
They found two black figures after running about 400 or 500 meters. They saw a man and a woman and according to Donnie Randall, they must be Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith had been running quite slowly because they didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would find them so quickly.
But suddenly two people appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
Qin Haodong looked at them and said, “Are you Mr. and Mrs. Smith? You’re quite good at stealing. It’s the first time someone stole my things without alarming me.”
