Alright."
"Stop with these little tricks, we Guardians don't play those games."
The fortune teller pushed aside the two bags of money and looked at the man: "Are you the manager here? Tell me, Li Xiaoli, Zhang Qing, and Sun Xiaohong. What's going on with those three?"
"Huh?!" The manager was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, his expression somewhat strange, as if he didn't understand why the two guardians in front of him cared about a few dead little girls.
Seeing the sorceress frown slightly, he quickly added, "Sirs, it's true that the three of them are dead, but they all died of natural causes!"
"Li Xiaoli drank too much to earn money and died of alcohol poisoning. I warned them long ago that no matter how much money a client gives, they must control their drinking according to their capacity. Don't drink too much! But she just wouldn't listen! You can't earn all the money in the world..."
"The day before yesterday, that customer offered her a thousand copper coins for every cup of wine she drank; she wanted to make more money..."
"You said she drank herself to death? What about the other two?" The fortune teller's fingers, hidden behind her back, kept calculating, confirming that the manager was telling the truth.
"Zhang Qing herself is sick, with a sexually transmitted disease, that kind of disease. She... has a rather casual lifestyle. She contracted the disease."
The manager smiled knowingly, then said cruelly, "Someone like her was bound to die sooner or later. Our company is already being very considerate by providing her with a job so she can earn money... She degraded herself and died on the job. We've already done more than enough by collecting her body and sending it to the crematorium."
"Sun Xiaohong is really pitiful..."
"Unfortunately, the poor don't receive help from fate..."
"Their deaths were absolutely natural, I can guarantee that. May I ask what you two are here to investigate? If I remember correctly, the Guardians mainly investigate those kinds of matters, right?"
"We have invited a Taoist master to assess the feng shui here, set up feng shui formations, and hired a Taoist practitioner to help us maintain order. Those kinds of things will not happen."
The manager reached out and smoothed his slicked-back hair, speaking with great confidence.
As an ordinary person without an awakening sequence, he was always very confident and proud to become the boss and general manager of a company like Buckingham, controlling the fate of many people.
And they don't feel that they are any worse than the sequencers.
It's just that he has more power, but so what? He has money and connections.
Money is a superpower!
Otherwise, how could he hire those Sequencers to do his bidding?
"Is the feng shui here very good?"
Upon hearing this, the sorceress stood up.
She actually knows a bit about feng shui because of her profession, and when she hears about things related to her profession, she can't help but want to take a closer look.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that everything from the paintings and ornaments to the patterns and colors of the flooring subtly incorporated the logic of feng shui.
"You've done a great job with this feng shui arrangement! It's truly the work of a master."
The fortune teller was very generous with her praise.
She reached out and touched the painting hanging beside her: "It seems you were right. This feng shui arrangement alone can suppress all evil spirits in the entire Buckingham Palace, preventing any evil from arising, and even attracting wealth and good fortune! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
She exclaimed "Wonderful!" three times, then looked at the manager with a serious expression, cupped her hands in a fist and palm salute: "Mr. Zhang, I have confirmed that there is no problem with the deaths of those three people. To be honest, as you can tell from my attire, I am also a feng shui enthusiast. Seeing such an exquisite feng shui formation here today has truly delighted me."
"I wonder if I could take a good look around Buckingham and learn something?"
The manager was taken aback for a moment, then reached up and scratched his hair before nodding, "Of course, it would be my honor."
"I'll take the two officers to take a look."
...
Lin Fan carried his younger sister and followed behind the sorceress.
Led by the manager, the fortune teller looked around and touched everything, occasionally letting out sounds of admiration.
Lin Fan hugged his sister tightly, craned his neck, and looked around curiously.

Contrary to his expectations, there were quite a few people in Buckingham Palace, even though it was after get off work hours.
A bartender in a shirt and vest, a brightly dressed woman, a girl in yoga pants, and some men with fierce-looking faces.
These people were all staying in Buckingham Palace, and they all seemed to be sleeping.
Everyone's face shared a similar air about them.
Both men and women had very pale faces, almost devoid of color. They also seemed unable to feel the cold or warmth.
Lin Fan clearly felt extremely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
But these people sleeping in Buckingham, no matter how many clothes they wear, all look so casual, without blankets or quilts...
"I'm sorry. Many of our employees work very hard at night, so they just rest at the company after get off work. I hope you two managers don't mind, haha..."
Seeing that Lin Fan and the sorceress were both glancing at the sleeping people, the manager explained apologetically.
"I understand, I understand. We sometimes sleep at work too." The fortune teller smiled nonchalantly and walked out.
Beside Lin Fan, against the wall, lay a scantily clad woman on a makeshift bed made of stools.
She rolled over, and the clothes covering her thighs fell to the ground.
Lin Fan accidentally caught a glimpse of her thighs and pink underwear.
She wasn't wearing safety shorts.
A faint, pleasant fragrance mixed with a subtle, fishy odor entered the nasal cavity.
Lin Fan blushed and quickly looked away.
But the younger sister, as if she had discovered something interesting, forcefully broke free from his embrace. Floating in the air, she curiously watched the woman.
Seeing his younger sister's curiosity, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel curious as well.
He followed his sister's gaze to the woman's face, and his body trembled involuntarily. He felt a chill run down his spine, and his scalp tingled.
However, he tried his best to maintain a normal expression.
He saw... one of the woman's eyeballs fall off her face.
Hanging from a thin, fleshy thread, it looked like an old light bulb from two months ago.
At the same time, the lights in the KTV quickly faded, instantly changing from the bright and lively atmosphere to a lifeless gray-white.
Lin Fan subconsciously looked at the other sleeping people, his knuckles clenched and turning white.
He saw that the people lying or reclining on sofas and tables all had festering and broken bodies.
His eyelid drooped from its socket, half of it hanging down like a torn sack. His legs slumped to the ground, limp and weak.
Black, foul blood occasionally flowed from the wound, leaving worm-like streaks on the pale skin.
The pale gray light shone on them, creating an incredibly eerie and unsettling visual atmosphere.
It's like being in a terrifying house set in a bizarre zombie apocalypse.
Lin Fan swallowed hard, then turned to look at the manager and the tall man who had been following him.
He saw the manager occasionally reach out and scratch his messy, greasy hair, pulling out clumps of rotten, falling hair from it.
Lin Fan could vaguely see it.
Maggots crawled around on his broken scalp.
"Is this... a hallucination?"
