Arms Dealer

Observing the two cute little plushy dolls in little robber outfits playing together in apartment 448's living room, Pro nodded his head in satisfaction. Although he didn't know how the dolls communicate, but it seems they do have some way of interacting.

After checking on his new subordinate, Pro returned to apartment 444 to salivate over his gains. With sparkling eyes, Pro drooled over all the guns he acquired from this group of criminals.

"At this rate, I might just become an arms dealer! Now I have a total of three Glock G17 handguns, four S&W M&P handguns, one 7 rounder Colt M1911 handgun, and one m4a1 assault rifle. After this harvest, he acquired enough Glock ammo to reload all his Glocks and still have 42 rounds left! The Colt had 16 rounds after a full reload. As for the assault rifle, its capacity is 30 rounds and there were still 80 rounds of ammo!"

Pro giggled with a silly smile as Alice and Ali cutely tilted their heads in confusion while they stared at him while sitting on the nearby sofa.

"Still, I wonder where these robbers got their firearms from. Too bad I can't obtain the memory of the boss because I had Ali convert him into a doll with that lady robber."

However, Pro didn't have much regret as he now got two somewhat useful doll subordinates. Although converting the invaders into dolls does not provide Pro with points, Pro knows that they might serve as good bait for bigger harvests in the future.

As for the two lackeys, Pro harvested them with no reluctance. He doesn't need to add two pig-like teammates to his army. Both gave 50 points each on death, and the one he sent to Toilet Wonderland provided an extra 50 before his death.

"Not bad, a total of 150 points, which brings me up to 840 points. Adding the guns, I've profited big time. Not only that, I also got a butt load of cash," Pro concluded as he unzipped the black bag to reveal bundles of cash.

After getting Alice's help to count the cash, Pro realized that there was about 50 thousand dollars in the bag.

"Although these cash are kind of useless to me, I may be able to use them to attract some visitors?" Pro muttered as he thought about his possible future of being a dungeon owner that attracts adventurers.

"Well, that's for the future. For now, let's clean up. Alice, Ali, come help clean the hallway and bathroom!" Pro smiled as he commanded the two cuties watching him on the sofa.

"Yes Master~" Alice cheerfully replied, allowed Ali to sit on her shoulder, and skipped off to get the cleaning tools.

Meanwhile, Pro stashed the guns away. The assault rifle was hidden in a drawer of the kitchen with its ammo. Pro then hid the one of the two new Glocks in apartment 448 and 442's kitchen. Finally, the Colt M1911 was gifted to Alice for self defense, and she happily accepted it.

After stashing the bag of cash into his bedroom, Pro quickly dumped the four dead bodies of the criminals into floor 3's neighborhood trashcan.

Returning to his domain, Pro then decided to complete his expansion into apartment 448. After all, it will be the home of his doll army in the future. Although the dolls don't have the necessities of humans, they do need space to move around in. So, he should give them more living space besides the living room.

[Deducting 200 points. Expanding domain, please wait ...]

[Deducting 200 points. Expanding domain, please wait ...]

[Expansion completed. Current host domain size: 8 small rooms, 4 medium room, 1 large room]

Watching the two cute little dolls bumble into the bedroom to explore with their tiny bows that stuck to their finger-less plushy hands. Pro didn't notice before, but now he raised his eyebrow in shock as he saw how the doll interact with their gear.

"It seems that the doll still have a mysterious force that helps them hold their weapons. It doesn't make sense, but I guess it's fine as long as it works out," Pro muttered as he left the apartment room with no worries.

After glancing at Alice who was diligently cleaning the bloodstains away while Ali playfully tried to help. Maybe humans will find this scene scary, but as an evil spirit, Pro found it to be heartwarming and homely.

"Alice, I'll be off to hunt again. I'll be back soon," Pro hollered towards Alice and Ali.

The duo looked over at Pro at the same time as Ali tried to cutely imitate Alice. Pro chuckled as he heard Alice's reply, "Be safe master! Alice will be waiting for master to come back!"

Waving his hand, Pro then sped down to the second floor. It didn't take long for Pro to reach the second floor. Peeking into the second floor hallway, Pro leisurely decided to start from the western wall, where apartments 441, 443, and 445 are located.

Sneaking around the corner of the hallway, Pro walked towards apartment 443. If his assumption was correct, it should be filled with another set of lingering spirit.

With a quick search, Pro easily found and destroyed the possession objects of the spirits as they tried to stop Pro with their condensed black mist form. Collecting the remnants, Pro quietly returned to his domain.

[Ding! Object with yin qi detected. Absorbing remnant yin qi. Host gains 10 life points.]

[Ding! Object with yin qi detected. Absorbing remnant yin qi. Host gains 5 life points.]

[Ding! ...]

"Another measly 40 points, but it's better than nothing," Pro muttered as he quickly recovered and went back for another hunt.

This time, Pro skirted around both apartment 221 and 225. He went down the hallway to the south side of the floor and harvested apartments 229 and 227. After claiming another 80 points, Pro then sneaked over to the eastern side of the floor and harvested apartment 226.

After the final boring harvest that did not exceed Pro's expectations, Pro recovered fully and finally decided it's time to meet the baleful spirit guardians of the second floor.

"There's four guardians on the fourth floor and three on the third floor. Since it's the second floor, then maybe there is only two. There are four apartments to choose from, 221, 224, 225, and 228. There's a 50% chance that I will encounter a baleful spirit," Pro speculated as he glanced at apartments 221 and 224.

"Since there is only two, there shouldn't be much of a problem. I can just make a ruckus and see which rooms they are in," Pro confidently thought as he strolled over to apartment 221.

"Knock. Knock," Pro muttered as he activated his claws and bisected the door in half.

Bam! With a kick, Pro sent the door flying. Pro observed apartments 224 and 225 down each side of the hallway, but to his surprise there didn't seem to be any reaction.

Even the apartment 221 didn't have any reaction after the ruckus he made. Pro blinked his eyes in confusion as he muttered, "Am I really that scary? Did they all go into hiding?"

Without hesitation, Pro stepped into apartment 221 and began to search the room. Sensing the denser yin qi in the bedroom, Pro kicked the bedroom door open with anticipation.

With a glance, Pro saw a normal bedroom, but one item caught Pro's attention as it was out of place.

In the corner of the room, Pro noticed a large, long chain nailed into the wall. A handcuff was bound to the end of the chain, but the handcuff was now unlocked.

As if sensing Pro's gaze, the spirit in the room began to take action. A boy's sobbing sound echoed in the room as black mist defused from the chain and formed a child-size black mist figure with sharp claws. Seeing Pro standing at the doorway, the black mist figure crawled towards Pro .

Chains made of black mist shot out of the figure's misty body and zoomed towards Pro. Pro easily diced them apart with his claws as he waited for the figure to approach.

It didn't take long for the figure to pounce towards Pro. Swish! With a swing of his claws, Pro bisected the misty figure in the middle to cut a path open for himself. With his past experience, Pro knew his true goal. He swiftly dived through the path he made as the black mist reformed behind him.

With Pro's speed, he easily reached the chain nailed to the wall. Ignoring the pouncing figure behind him, Pro easily diced the chain to pieces with his claws.

Clang!

As the chain was broken, the black mist figure pouncing towards pro scrunched up in pain as it rolled on the ground. The sobbing echoing in the room turned into shrieks. Pro felt as if something was trying to affect his spirit, but he easily resisted it. Seeing that the annoying shrieks continued, Pro gladly helped it shut up by smashing the chain thoroughly.

As the last part of the chain and handcuffs turned to metal dust, a child-size, transparent figured materialized in its place. Pro stepped back a bit as he twitched his lips knowing it's another cut scene.

In the corner of the room, the handcuff bound to the chain was locked on the wrist of the sobbing, little boy. The boy was hugging his knees while sitting on the ground, trying his best to stifle his sobs while constantly muttering something.

As Pro focused his attention, he barely made out what the boy was muttering in between his sobs.

"I want mommy. Hic. Mommy said she would come back."

"Mommy, I'm hungry. You said you were going to get food for me from the scary uncle black robe. Mommy, where are you? Hic."

"Hic. Mommy, please don't leave me here alone. Hic. Lele will be a good boy."

"Mommy ... Lele is tired. Lele wants to sleep. Lele can't wait for mommy anymore ..."

With that, the transparent spirit gradually faded away and left a broken handcuff on the ground. Picking up the handcuff, Pro sighed softly before he turned around and left the apartment.

"Just how many poor innocent people did the Black Death Society harm in order to fill this spirit farm," Pro muttered with a hint of helplessness.

It didn't take long for Pro to return to his domain. He then watched the handcuffs get absorbed as expected.

[Ding! Mysterious object with yin qi detected. Absorbing object ...]

[Host's domain has absorbed a possession object filled with yin qi. Host gains 450 life points.]

"A bit less than the usual harvest for a baleful spirit, but it seems the spirit wasn't strong in the first place," Pro sighed as he went to recover.

Like a chore, Pro then headed back to the second floor for another harvest. This time, he targeted apartment 225, followed by 228. Unfortunately, both only had three lingering spirits. After depositing the 80 points in his domain, Pro then went to confront the final spirit on the second floor.

Silently glancing at apartment 224, Pro didn't even pretend to be polite. He simply broke into the apartment. Sweeping his eyes through the living room, Pro sensed the yin qi accumulating in the kitchen. He calmly strolled over with no scruples.

As Pro turned the corner into the kitchen, multiple knives made from black mist shot towards him. Encountering his first ambush in a while, Pro didn't even feel too much surprise as he easily smashed the black mist knives into mist with his claws. With his combat experience, the trifling tricks of low-level baleful spirits aren't much of a threat to him anymore.

"Can knives be faster than bullets? I've even encountered sword qi! But now it deteriorates to slowly flying knives that only flies straight?" Pro mocked as he easily dispelled the attacks that were coming from a knife holder on the kitchen counter.

Pro calmly strolled forward and didn't even feel much pressure. As he calmly walked forward, Pro just treated the knives flying towards him like a beat s*ber game. It didn't take long for Pro to reach the knife holder and he chuckled in a bored tone, "And this ends the exploration for the second floor."

Thud! With a couple of chops, the knife holder was broken into a couple of chunks. Watching the black mist slowly dissipate from it, Pro mentally attempted to click the skip button.

Unfortunately, the inevitable scene still played out. A spirit of a fragile woman spawned in the kitchen. Glancing at her frail, malnourished figure with multiple scars all over, one could tell she didn't have an easy time.

The woman was silently chopping something in the kitchen with a knife. Stifled sobs rang out from time to time, but the woman still pushed herself to complete her duty while encouraging herself.

"Everything will eventually get better. That psychopath, with weird powers, promised to let us go soon. I must stay strong."

"Don't stop. Johnny is still waiting to eat. I've already sacrificed so much for this sparse amount of food, I can't waste it."

"After this ... after this, I will ask him if he is willing to give a bit more food. Johnny is growing, he needs to eat more. Even if I have to suffer a bit more under his hands, I am willing ... as long as Johnny is fine ..."

The voice gradually faded away as Pro watched the woman's figure slowly collapse to the ground. A rusty kitchen knife laid on the kitchen counter all alone. Pro gently took it in his hand as he turned around and left.

"At least she never intended to abandon you," Pro muttered softly as he took one last glance at apartment 221 before stepping into the stairway.

[Ding! Mysterious object with yin qi detected. Absorbing object ...]

[Host's domain has absorbed a possession object filled with yin qi. Host gains 480 life points.]

After collecting his reward, Pro plopped himself onto his bed as he glanced at his total points of 1610. Although the expedition didn't take the entire night, Pro still felt a bit tired mentally as he recalled the cut scenes he watched.

"Now that the second floor is clear, I don't have much choices left. Although I could go to the first floor, the time for exploration will be greatly reduced due to the distance. So, my next target should be the fifth floor. Although it may be a bit riskier, it's not something I should avoid."

Seeing Alice and Ali come into the bedroom, Pro gently smiled as he patted the bed beside him. Alice had a cheerful smile as she plopped herself next to Pro, and placed Ali in between. Hugging Alice and poking the cute Ali's plushy face, Pro decided to recover his mental health by experiencing some happy family time.

It didn't take long for another day of harvest to arrive. The happy family of three welcomed their guests and received a total payment of 180 points after a day of work.

After giving both Alice and Ali a kiss on their foreheads, Pro then set off on his expedition to the fifth floor.

"I hope the fifth floor won't be too much stronger than the original fourth floor. It's much easier to grind points from weaklings."

With a lighthearted thought, Pro trudged up the stairs leading to the fifth floor.
