Chapter 116 - 116 116 Want to Take the Initiative
?Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Want to Take the Initiative Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Want to Take the Initiative Han Chi couldn’t help asking again, “What about the Tracking Talisman?”
This thing was also particularly important. If they had a Tracking Talisman, not only could they save a lot of trouble, but it would also reduce the risk to some team members.
Luo Ning replied truthfully, “As I said before, the Tracking Talisman needs to lock onto the target’s scent in the talisman to activate the tracking, and the range cannot exceed five hundred kilometers.”
“So I can’t promise to give you a Tracking Talisman, otherwise it would be useless to you.”
Han Chi also remembered that Luo Ning indeed had said this before, “Does that mean if we bring you something with the target’s scent, you can help us draw the talisman and track it?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, that can be done.”
Next, Han Chi and Luo Ning settled on a cooperation to provide talismans.
For the Medicine Talismans, Luo Ning asked Han Chi and his team to provide the herbs. She didn’t ask for money; instead, she asked them to provide double the herbs as compensation.
For the Tracking Talisman, Han Chi’s team would provide the target’s scent and pay with herbs or other items she needed.
The main reason was that drawing talismans required Spiritual Power, so it was not possible for Luo Ning to offer her services without compensation.
However, she also had a great respect for the special forces soldiers who fought on the front lines for the country, which is why she agreed to do it for a compensation that was almost nothing compared to its real value.
Otherwise, the talismans she drew could be sold for one million each if she sold them to the outside world.
After they agreed on the terms, Han Lie looked at Luo Ning and asked, “Luo Ning, would your drawn Tracking Talisman work on Feng Shui Masters or Magic Masters?”
Luo Ning nodded, “It would work unless their abilities are more than twice as powerful as mine.”
However, the possibility of finding someone in this world with Feng Shui Xuan Shu abilities more than twice as powerful as hers was negligible.
Han Lie said excitedly, “Then could you help us draw a Tracking Talisman? The special department will pay for it.”
“Or I could apply to convert it into points for you; after all, you’re about to join us.”
They would receive points for each mission completed, and once they accumulated enough points, they could exchange them for things they wanted.
Of course, those who didn’t want items could also convert the points into money, which was quite flexible.
Luo Ning asked with a smile, “Do you want me to draw a Tracking Talisman for that Evil Magician?”
Han Lie nodded, “Yes, that’s her.”
“She’s too cunning. We only got the news that she has come to the capital, but we still haven’t found her hiding place.”
They had been tracking her for over a year, but every time, she managed to escape, and her location was difficult to pinpoint—she was just too cunning to be captured.
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “It’s no problem to help you draw a Tracking Talisman, but do you have something she has used? I need to capture her scent.”
Han Lie replied, “Yes, we found her hideout last time, and although she ran away in advance, we also found some things she used.”
“I happened to bring them with me.” He took out some talisman paper and vermillion as well as a few half-finished talismans from his bag.
“Can you capture her scent with these?” He pushed the items over.
If they could use the Tracking Talisman to find the person’s hideout, they could save a lot of time searching and prevent other people from being harmed.
Luo Ning nodded, “I’ll give it a try.”
She picked up one of the half-finished talismans and recognized the familiar strokes of the talisman pen.
She quickly remembered where she had seen them before.
The pen strokes on that marriage contract were the same as the strokes on this talisman; if she wasn’t wrong, they were drawn by the same person.
Luo Ning was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected that the person behind the coerced ghost marriage aimed at Xiang Bin would be the Evil Magician Han Lie and his team were looking for.
“Is the Evil Magician a woman?” Before, Liu Hongxue had mentioned that it was a Witch sought out by Old Mrs. Xiang.
Han Lie looked astonished, “You’re impressive, just by looking at a talisman, you could determine the other person’s gender.”
Before Luo Ning could reply, Han Chi boasted by her side, “Of course that’s the case; I’ve always said Luo Ning is extremely capable.”
Luo Ning smiled, “Thanks for the compliment.”
She didn’t deny it, because from the strokes and the scent, she also sensed that the other person was a woman.
Soon she captured a trace of scent from the half-finished talisman and then imprinted it onto the talisman paper she carried with her.
Once the scent was successfully imprinted, she used the talisman pen dipped in vermillion to start drawing the talisman.
Moments later, she handed the completed Tracking Talisman to Han Lie, “This talisman can track within a five hundred kilometer radius; just light it with fire to activate it.”
“The talisman can only be used once; whether or not you catch the person, this Tracking Talisman will become invalid after it tracks down the target.”
“Let’s substitute payment with points.” She knew points were important to the special department.
Han Lie took the talisman carefully and stored it, “Okay, thank you very much.”
“I’ll make the application; using points is indeed more cost-effective.”
Luo Ning nodded, “Alright, I’ll leave that to you.”
Everyone sat for a while longer before the meeting dispersed; Han Chi’s team still had tasks to perform.
After returning home, Luo Ning called Xiang Bin.
Xiang Bin was reviewing company documents; his nightmares had stopped, his health was gradually recovering, so naturally, he wanted to take back the work from Xiang Jun’s hands.
Surprised to see the incoming call, he picked up with a polite smile, “Master Luo, hello!”
Luo Ning greeted him and then asked, “You’re still wearing the talisman I gave you, right?”
Xiang Bin replied, “Yes, I’m wearing it.”
Even though the marriage contract had been transferred, he felt that the talisman was very effective, so he continued to wear it close to his body.
Luo Ning didn’t tell him about the Evil Magician; after all, this involved special department operations. If it accidentally leaked, it could affect Han Lie’s team in capturing her.
So she said, “The marriage contract has been transferred, and now your cousin is having the nightmares. He should notice something and might seek out the Witch again for help.”
“So you must not take off the talisman. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone send one more amulet to your mother too; be careful these days.”
If that Witch was indeed the Evil Magician Han Lie was tracking, and since Luo Ning had thwarted her plans, the vicious-minded Witch definitely wouldn’t let things go easily.
The key was that Luo Xi had a very special constitution, and she could once again be targeted by that person, so Luo Ning thought it best to take the initiative.
“Also, it’s best to have complete surveillance installed at home just in case she tries something when you’re not there,” she added after some thought.
“And if anything seems off, contact me immediately,” she reiterated.
Xiang Bin could hear how serious Luo Ning was and took her advice to heart, “Okay, we will be cautious and be on our guard.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Bin put down the documents and called to arrange for someone to come and install surveillance cameras at home the next morning. He also went to discuss the situation with his mother.
Liu Hongxue had grown much trust and respect for Luo Ning now.
Meanwhile, Luo Ning thought for a moment and decided to call Lu Xun.
Lu Xun had just finished showering and came out when he saw the incoming call. His normally cold eyes softened with a hint of a smile.
“How come you’re calling me at this hour?” he answered.
Luo Ning told him straight, “There’s something I need to discuss with you.”
