Realm of the Night God

Chapter 265: The Insane Black Talisman Master



Yang Haoran observed the madwoman without paying much attention to the foul odor emanating from her. He took a drag of his cigarette without uttering a word.

The madwoman, in turn, stared back at Yang Haoran. Her gaze was vacant, and a silly laughter escaped her lips, followed by a continuous muttering, much like when she encountered Kuai Le yesterday.

"Noodles... noodles... delicious... slippery..."

Though Yang Haoran encountered this woman for the first time, judging by her current state, he knew she had gone mad. However, what puzzled him was the significant power fluctuation emanating from the madwoman. Based on this, he was sure she was no ordinary person.

Yet, what intrigued him was how a person with considerable power could go mad. What kind of stimulus had driven her to insanity, and why did she stay here?

Yang Haoran was familiar with the power fluctuation emitted by the madwoman because he possessed a similar force. However, it was not Yin spirit power; it was Talisman Spirit Power.

To clarify what happened to the madwoman, Yang Haoran activated his ghost eye.

The ghost eye could reveal things invisible to the naked eye. Perhaps by using it, he could discover something from the woman that wasn't apparent.

However, when the ghost eye activated, what Yang Haoran witnessed almost made him choke on his cigarette.

The power emanating from the madwoman was indeed Talisman Spirit Power. Still, what shocked Yang Haoran wasn't that; it was the symbol on the madwoman's forehead!

Every talisman master had a runic mark on their forehead, a symbol of their identity. Usually invisible to the naked eye, these marks could be seen with special means.

Before activating the ghost eye, Yang Haoran had already identified the madwoman as a talisman master. Discovering a runic mark on her forehead wasn't surprising. Yet, he was taken aback because the mark was not yellow but black!

If a talisman master's runic mark on the forehead was black, there was only one possibility—she was a black talisman master!

Yang Haoran had encountered and used black talismans before, but encountering a black talisman master was entirely unexpected. The seemingly beggar-like madwoman turned out to be a black talisman master!

Despite his growing strength, Yang Haoran found himself genuinely surprised. He coughed a few times, regaining his composure. With a different demeanor, he re-evaluated the madwoman before him.

The runic mark on her forehead was indeed black, but the color was not deep; it was rather light. This indicated that she had recently entered the realm of a black talisman master.

Even if she had just entered this realm, her power surpassed that of a yellow talisman master by a wide margin.

Besides discovering that the madwoman was a black talisman master, the ghost eye revealed nothing else. Yang Haoran reluctantly retracted the ghost eye to conserve Yin spirit power.

Wearing his signature smile, Yang Haoran attempted to communicate with the madwoman, hoping to extract useful information.

"Um... excuse me, may I ask..."

Before Yang Haoran could finish his sentence, the madwoman's silly laughter interrupted him. She continued muttering.

"Noodles... noodles... so fragrant... so slippery..."

Despite Yang Haoran's attempts to communicate, there was no effect. This black talisman master before him was truly and completely insane.

However, the question of what had driven this black talisman master to madness lingered in Yang Haoran's mind. He couldn't help but wonder, "Could the strange occurrences here be related to this black talisman master?" With her abilities, she could easily handle the three Spirit Police; as for ordinary people, they were like ants in her eyes.

The madwoman had gone completely mad, and the actions of a lunatic were unpredictable. She might target the Spirit Police or ordinary people; the possibilities were endless.

Considering this, Yang Haoran speculated whether everything happening here was orchestrated by this already insane black talisman master.

As Yang Haoran's speculation arose, he sensed something and turned his gaze towards the distance.

There was nothing there, yet a smile appeared on Yang Haoran's face.

"Have they arrived? Pretty quick."

With those words, Yang Haoran shifted his focus back to the madwoman in front of him.

Under his sensing ability, he detected five power fluctuations rapidly approaching his direction.

One of these fluctuations was quite strong, while the other four were weaker. Based on the information obtained from Master Wu, Yang Haoran guessed that these five individuals were led by Deputy Captain Zhou and belonged to the Spirit Police.

Although Deputy Captain Zhou and his team had set out before Yang Haoran, he managed to arrive ahead of them due to his ability to tear through spatial dimensions.

Yang Haoran made no effort to conceal his presence; Deputy Captain Zhou's strength would easily allow him to sense Yang Haoran's existence, so there was nothing strange about it.

After a moment, a sound of breaking air echoed behind Yang Haoran, and Deputy Captain Zhou, accompanied by four Spirit Police members, appeared in front of the mud house.

"I didn't expect this matter to alert even the divine envoy Yang. It makes me feel quite embarrassed!"

After appearing, Deputy Captain Zhou glanced at the madwoman before warmly greeting Yang Haoran with a smile.

Although the Spirit Police had sought assistance from the Yin Division, their request wasn't overly demanding. Sending a couple of Night Watch agents would have sufficed. However, both Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou were surprised to learn that Yang Haoran had personally intervened. They had received this information from Master Wu.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, no need for formalities. Given the gravity of the situation, the other party must be quite formidable. So, I thought it best to come in person," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

In truth, he just wanted to clear his mind and shift his focus, but he couldn't say that directly. Since he had come, he needed to phrase it in a way that made it sound like he was doing Spirit Police a favor and could later ask for a favor in return.

"Divine envoy Yang, your kind gesture is deeply appreciated. In the future, if you need any assistance, just let us know," Deputy Captain Zhou expressed his gratitude and made a promise to Yang Haoran.

"Well, I'll thank Deputy Captain Zhou in advance then," Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

"Oh, not at all. If there's anything we can do to repay your kindness, feel free to ask."

After exchanging pleasantries, Deputy Captain Zhou shifted his gaze towards the madwoman. His brows furrowed slightly.

Deputy Captain Zhou naturally noticed that something was off about the madwoman. Although he was engaged in pleasantries with Yang Haoran, he intermittently observed the madwoman.

The madwoman's demeanor, constant muttering, and the Talisman Spirit Power emanating from her confirmed that she was indeed insane.

Furthermore, Deputy Captain Zhou sensed the Talisman Spirit Power from the madwoman.

"Divine envoy Yang, what's going on? This woman should be a talisman master. How did she end up like this, completely mad?"

Yang Haoran had initially hoped to gather some useful information from Deputy Captain Zhou. Still, judging from the latter's current reaction, it seemed that Deputy Captain Zhou was not yet aware of the full situation.

"I don't know the details of her condition, but as you said, she is indeed a talisman master. However, she's not a yellow talisman master; she's a black talisman master!"

"What!"

Yang Haoran's revelation not only surprised Deputy Captain Zhou but also startled the four Spirit Police members behind him.

Clearly, they understood the significance of a black talisman master. However, lacking the ghost eye or any special means to see the runic mark on the madwoman's forehead, neither the Spirit Police nor Deputy Captain Zhou had realized the true extent of the madwoman's identity. She was not just a talisman master; she was a black talisman master!
