The above herbs are dried, crushed, ground into powder, and then mixed together to form a sleeping potion!
The "sleep-inducing drug" can be mixed into alcohol. The person who takes it will feel dizzy and fall into a deep sleep in a very short time.
According to Sun Erniang, her family's ancestral "sleep-inducing" medicine can make the user sleep for 4 days! A full 4 days!
Having obtained the formula, Gao Jianfei could naturally go to a traditional Chinese medicine shop to buy it, grind it into powder, and prepare it. However, he needed the sleeping potion immediately, and there wasn't enough time to go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
Immediately, Gao Jianfei gritted his teeth and used 500 exorcism points to exchange for 3 small packets of sleeping potion from Sun Erniang.
Actually, the weight is only about 3 liang (150 grams).
Sun Erniang grinned at Gao Jianfei, "Little Gao, these three packets of sleeping potion can knock out 100 strong men!"
Gao Jianfei chuckled slyly, then in a flash, he left the ghost den.
He took out his phone and checked the time; it was 10:30 PM. Gao Jianfei was preparing to complete his first mission… to kill the five thugs who had killed the Li family father and son!
Earn 5000 experience points and exorcism points!
According to the information provided by the ghosts of the Li family father and son, the five thugs who killed them were five gang leaders in charge of the slum demolition project. In reality, they were just peripheral members of the Hongjie Group—a bunch of lazy, oppressive, and arrogant idlers. They were kept in a three-story villa in Heshi Town on the outskirts of the city by Zeng Jian.
Gao Jianfei left the bedroom with the sleeping pills tucked in his pocket. He smiled and said to Chen Xian, his father, and his aunt, "I'm going out to have a late-night snack with Secretary Meng and the others. I'll be home in a bit."
Chen Xian and the others had no suspicions and let Gao Jianfei leave home.
Gao Jianfei first hailed a taxi and arrived at a small village outside Heshi Town. He then got out of the taxi and walked towards Heshi Town. The journey was about 3 kilometers long, and Gao Jianfei walked at a leisurely pace under the moonlight.
After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at Heshi Town.
Like Yangfo Town, where Gao Jianfei was tricked into selling his kidney, Heshi Town was a relatively remote and underdeveloped rural area. Upon entering the town, Gao Jianfei quickly found the only luxurious building in town.
A three-story villa was built on a small hill. Dozens of motorcycles were parked in the courtyard below. A large group of gaudily dressed men were smoking, relaxing, playing cards, and drinking liquor in the courtyard. Some of them were still in bandages and casts—the same thugs Gao Jianfei had severely punished last time!
Gao Jianfei found a shady spot under a tree, where he squatted down to smoke while observing the thugs' movements.
Gao Jianfei pondered to himself that charging in and forcibly killing those five thugs would be an utterly reckless act. The reason Gao Jianfei had taken the sleeping potion from Sun Erniang was simply to incapacitate the group before making his move. The problem was, how could he secretly slip the sleeping potion into the thugs' drink?
This is a big problem!
However, Gao Jianfei hadn't yet come up with a solution. He could only smoke while carefully observing the group of thugs' movements.
The hooligans were having a great time, drinking, playing drinking games, chess, and card games non-stop, some even singing lewd songs like "Eighteen Touches." They truly had no taboos.
Not far from Gao Jianfei, a row of dim streetlights shone. Several makeshift barbecue stalls were struggling to stay afloat, with hardly any customers.
Gao Jianfei waited for a full hour before finally, a hooligan swaggered down from the small hill.
He was carrying a plastic water bottle in each hand. They were the white kind, like the kind used for cooking oil.
I estimate that the two kettles can hold 20 kilograms of water.
The thug, carrying a water bottle, walked over to the barbecue stall and shouted loudly, "Grill me 100 skewers of lamb, 100 skewers of chicken wings, 100 skewers of dried tofu..."
He ordered a lot of dishes and then went into a small workshop behind the barbecue stall.
When he came out, the two jugs were clearly filled with liquid... water?
No! It should be wine!
A glint of inspiration flashed in Gao Jianfei's eyes... "That's it! That scoundrel must be selling bulk liquor!"
Bulk liquor is cheap, and its taste is no worse than that of bottled liquor produced by regular distilleries!
Some small workshops even brew bulk liquor using their own unique recipes, which tastes better than mid-range liquors on the market!
The thug leisurely carried two large jugs of bulk liquor past the barbecue stall, shouting, "Hurry up, once you're done grilling, bring it up to me!"
After saying that, he staggered towards the small villa on the hill. Clearly, he had drunk some alcohol earlier, as he was slightly tipsy. However, they had probably finished the wine upstairs and weren't having enough fun, so this scoundrel was responsible for going down to get more.
This was a golden opportunity for Gao Jianfei to drug the drug!
Gao Jianfei stood up, straightened his collar, and followed the thug.
Chapter 175 He Can't Wake Up!
Chapter 175 He Can't Wake Up!
In the darkness, Gao Jianfei trudged along the muddy and bumpy mountain path, closely following the thug who was selling loose liquor.
The guy was humming a 90s pop song, walking unsteadily, clearly a little drunk, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was following behind him!
It's a few hundred meters uphill from the foot of the mountain. In other words, before Gao Jianfei could rob the thug up the mountain, he put the sleeping potion into the flask in his hand!
The opportunity came when the thug walked around a crooked tree!
Suddenly, he tripped and stumbled, falling to the ground while cursing. At that moment, Gao Jianfei darted over and, before the thug could get up, kicked him in the back of the head!
Of course, Gao Jianfei only used a little force in this kick, which was just enough to make the hooligan's brain tremble and he fainted.
Seeing the thug lying face down on the ground, not uttering a sound, Gao Jianfei quickly bent down, picked up the two jugs of wine, unscrewed the lids, took out a packet of sleeping potion from his pocket, and shook some into each jug. Then he screwed the lids back on and vigorously shook the jugs to ensure the sleeping potion dissolved fully in the wine.
After finishing all this, Gao Jianfei darted away, disappearing into the shadows beneath the tree he had been standing under.
Smoking, waiting.
About 10 minutes later, the thug staggered to his feet, cursing, "What the hell! Who the hell is taking a dump here, and I even had to slip and fall..."
Despite his cursing, he still picked up his wine jug and continued up the mountain. He had been quite drunk, having been knocked unconscious by Gao Jianfei, so when he woke up, he wasn't fully alert and had no idea that someone had taken advantage of his fall to kick him. He probably still thought he had simply passed out from the fall.
Before long, the thugs brought the liquor up the mountain, and the barbecue stalls also sent people up with a large amount of grilled food. Perfect! Liquor and barbecue, very enjoyable.
The hooligans on the mountain cheered and drank, loudly playing drinking games, hurling insults, and singing all sorts of lewd songs, which drifted down from the mountain.
It's a complete mess!
After delivering the food to the thugs up the mountain, the barbecue stalls at the foot of the mountain hastily packed up and closed for the day.
For a moment, the whole town seemed unusually deserted, and the revelry of those guys on the mountain was truly disgusting.
However, Gao Jianfei sneered inwardly... Drink up! The more you drink, the happier you drink, the faster you'll collapse!
Gao Jianfei sat down on the ground, took out a cigarette, and started smoking. He waited while smoking.
About 10 minutes later, the joyful singing on the mountain gradually faded away!
Ten minutes later, the area with the small villas on the mountain fell completely silent!
It's eerily quiet!
"It's done! The drug has taken effect!" Gao Jianfei stood up, shook the mud off his buttocks, and then quickly walked up the mountain!
On the mountain... in a large courtyard, dozens of people were lying there! They were slumped over, each one drooling and snoring loudly.
Anesthetize them all!
Gao Jianfei chuckled and directly instructed the AI program, "Bring out the souls of the father and son, Li Atian and Li Xiaobao, from the first mission I accepted, and piece them together!"
"As you wish!" the AI program replied quickly. Furthermore, piecing together a level 1 ghost is a very simple and easy task, taking only two minutes.
Two minutes later, the souls of the Li family father and son were pieced together and solidified into a physical form on the first floor of the Ghost Nest.
Gao Jianfei used up some more exorcism points to make the souls of Li's father and son manifest.
Suddenly, two humanoid silhouettes flickering with emerald phosphorescence appeared beside Gao Jianfei. After a few twists and turns, it could be vaguely discerned that they were the scavengers... Li Atian and Li Xiaobao.
"Xiao Gao, we died so tragically! You must avenge us!" The ghosts of the Li family father and son cried out to Gao Jianfei with bitter and resentful expressions.
Gao Jianfei nodded. "I'm here to avenge you. Point out the five thugs who killed you. Do you remember what they looked like?"
The phosphorescent flames surrounding Li Xiaobao's body flickered a few times as it cried out indignantly, "How could I not remember? I'd remember even if I were reduced to ashes!"
Immediately, two phosphorescent flames floated up in the courtyard, circled around, and pointed out the five sleeping hooligans to Gao Jianfei.
"It's them! It's them!" Li Atian screamed hysterically.
Gao Jianfei nodded and took Li Atian and Li Xiaobao into the first level of the Ghost Den. Then, Gao Jianfei took out a steel dart from the hidden weapon pouch at his waist.
Five culprits, each stabbed hard in the neck several times.
die!
They killed five people in total.
Ideally, using poison would be far better than this method of killing. However, since Gongyang Feng's soul wasn't fully pieced together yet, Gao Jianfei had no choice but to kill him himself.
After taking down the five thugs, the AI program's voice suddenly rang in Gao Jianfei's ears... "Congratulations, esteemed user, you have completed a Level 4 mission. Therefore, your Exorcism Points have increased by '5000', and your Experience Points have increased by '5000'. Please keep up the good work and continue to complete other accepted missions!"
Gao Jianfei opened the virtual display screen and scanned...
"The Exorcist: Gao Jianfei"
Age: 22
Level: 2
Exorcism Point: 900/17405
Experience: 17400
Experience required to upgrade to Level 3 Exorcist: 82600
This was the first time Gao Jianfei had gained so much experience, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He glanced back at the group of hooligans who were still snoring and fast asleep, and then Gao Jianfei went down the mountain with light steps.
After circling around the foot of the mountain and leaving Heshi Town, I walked a long distance back to the city and hailed a taxi to go home.
It was 2 a.m. when I got home.
Gao Jianfei took a hot shower and went to bed in the bedroom. Chen Xian waited for Gao Jianfei online in the bedroom. She was relieved when she saw him return.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Early the next morning, Gao Jianfei left home to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for an art exhibition at a large cultural venue next to the municipal party committee office building.
On this day, all the reporters from the ZG City Broadcasting Building, TV hosts, and a large number of reporters and newspaper editors from surrounding cities and provincial capitals flocked to the art exhibition.
Tens of thousands of Chinese painting enthusiasts from within the province flocked to the area!
Vehicles were forced to detour on nearby roads, and thousands of armed police officers maintained order with live ammunition.
Gao Jianfei met with leaders of the ZG Municipal Party Committee and leaders of the Flower Market. A group of artists, led by Wu Keyou, followed Gao Jianfei around like little shadows.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the art exhibition officially began at 9:30 a.m.
Gao Jianfei, along with leaders from ZG City and the Flower Market, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Outside the cultural venue, a sea of people filled the air; the clicks of cameras, the sound of television hosts broadcasting live, and the frenzied shouts of numerous Chinese painting enthusiasts made the opening ceremony of this art exhibition unprecedentedly grand and magnificent!
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Gao Jianfei delivered a speech. He praised his hometown with great emotion, thanked the people of his hometown for their nurturing, mentioned the strong support from the Huashi "government," and encouraged the vast number of Chinese painting enthusiasts to work hard to create works and strive to shine in the hall of art.
Below the stage, the fans of the genius painter Gao Jianfei were no less enthusiastic than those of singers and movie stars. They shouted Gao Jianfei's name at the top of their lungs, as if they were dying.
