Chapter 189: Ghost Market III

I took the pocket watch out of the pouch once more .

It looked a little old under the moonlight . I opened it up and there was only a watch face inside - no needle at all . There was just an empty black hole in the middle .

It must've been taken out .

I shook it a little but there wasn't any sound . It was just an empty sh.e.l.l .

Have I been scammed?

My voodoo dolls might not be worth much, but it still sucked to be cheated .

There wasn't a point in getting this watch checked since there were no needles . How am I going to sell it? F*ck, the older the wiser!

Then again, why was this empty sh.e.l.l of a watch so heavy?

I lifted it up and looked into it from outside .

The workmans.h.i.+p was excellent, unlike that of cheap goods that get churned out in large quant.i.ties without regard for quality .

The watch cover was fine and there were a lot of words on it .

All English .

Frustrated, I took my mobile phone out and spent 10 minutes keying the seven rows of English words into the translation engine .

”Cut out a photo of someone you hate and place it inside . When all three needles point at the person you hate, vengeance will be sought and a spirit will grant your wish . ”

A chill ran down my spine . It was exactly what I had written on my red paper but more ruthless .

Open the watch, put a photo inside, wait for the clock to strike 12 and a vengeful spirit will help you?

If this was real, wasn't it much more effective than my voodoo doll?

But why were the needles missing?

Was it to prevent more harm from happening to people? I turned my phone light on and aimed it toward the black hole .

I tried squinting but I really just couldn't see anything . When my eyes started hurting, I finally gave up .

Just then, a fatty crossed my vision .

Pang Guang, Dahai's cousin and the person that was in charge of the Northern part of the market .

He trodded over with a lady, seemingly in a rush .

He's done this before whenever he was looking for Dahai .

Since Dahai has already left, I figured that Pang Guang would ask me about it .

I s.h.i.+fted my attention to the lady beside him .

The lady was in a rather revealing outfit . It wasn't very decent for them to be together like that, but I've yet to figure out their relations.h.i.+p .

I lowered my head as if I hadn't seen them . I rearranged my voodoo dolls a little and placed the pouch on top of the golden pocket watch .
