Chapter 145 Elixir? Rejuvenation?

Jocelyn didn't believe the Sisterhood of Steel could analyze and create a true Angel Blade. Although the Shadow Hunters had angelic blood, the bloodline had become diluted over generations. Just like her, the runes on her body were uncontrollably activated simply by holding a true Angel Blade. The true Angel Blade was a power they simply couldn't control.

She advised Su to abandon the idea of ​​having the Sisterhood of Steel research the Angel's Blade. Although the Shadow Society's mission was to protect humanity from the persecution of shadow creatures, it did not mean they were without selfish motives. If the Shadow Society found out about the Angel's Blade, it would bring unnecessary trouble to Su, whether out of public interest or personal motives.

Su was naturally not worried about these so-called troubles, but after hearing what Jocelyn said, it seemed that the Sisterhood of Steel really did not have the ability to research the Angel Blade. Rather than letting these descendants of angels with thin bloodlines research it, it would be better to let the demons research it. At least the demons would definitely be more dedicated.

Especially Ruby, whom he had been searching for. In the TV series, she had modified a Colt gun. Although its power was reduced, at least he wouldn't have to worry about it becoming a mere decoration once the bullets ran out.

More than an hour later, Jocelyn left with mixed feelings of sadness and melancholy.

Originally, she only came to see why the apartment lights were on, but she ended up not only learning that the wealthy Su family, with whom she had always gotten along well and who had been learning art from her, was actually extraordinary and powerful, but also that she knew her friend Luke, and even witnessing the Angel Blade, a weapon that almost no Shadow Hunter had ever seen before, the real Angel Blade.

That was bad enough, but what truly shocked and bewildered Jocelyn was that the Angel Blade was snatched from a real angel by the Su family, who even casually invited her to meet a real angel sometime in the future.

what does this mean?

This means that Su's true strength is definitely not as simple as Luke said. To be able to see an angel, steal an angel's Angel Blade, and then act as if nothing happened, what kind of strength does that require?

Jocelyn felt it was necessary to talk to Luke later and learn more about the Su family. If the Su family's character and strength were truly reliable, then there would be hope that her recent worries could be resolved!

Sue didn't know how Jocelyn and Luke talked, but the next afternoon when Sue sent her shadow clone to study art with her, Jocelyn became a little more reserved, but also more enthusiastic. During class, she would ask Clary to pour her water, as if she wanted to leave a good impression on Clary and get closer to her.

Sue didn't ask for the reason, but she could guess some of it. She could only say that parents all over the world are worried about their children. Clary's identity meant that once it was exposed, both the black and white people would cause her trouble. Jocelyn had the ability to protect herself, but Clary did not.

Having given up on researching the Angel Blade with the Sisterhood of Steel, and with his shadow clone resuming his art studies with Jocelyn, Su, having nothing else to do, once again came to Abel's Antique Shop.

Yes, the antique shop that Abraham opened was named after him.

"jingle."

The wind chimes on the antique shop door rang, someone came in. Abraham looked up and was about to greet them, but when he saw Sue, he was stunned and the words stuck in his throat.

"You... pushed the door open and came in?" After a long pause, Abraham asked blankly.

Su shrugged: "What else?"

"I thought you could teleport." Abraham chuckled sheepishly, then, as if remembering something, excitedly walked up to Su and deliberately spun around a few times: "Have you noticed anything different about me?"

Sue carefully examined Abraham. At first glance, there seemed to be no difference, but with his current eyesight, he could still see some subtle differences: "You seem to have fewer wrinkles on your face?"

"That's right, I've become younger, at least three months younger!"

Su was taken aback, then realized: "You ate a Chakra Pill?"

Abraham exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, this elixir is truly amazing! Although I've heard legends about elixirs in the East, I always thought they were just legends. I never imagined they were real. There really is an elixir that can make people young again."

An elixir that can reverse aging?

Su looked at Abraham and thought he looked three months younger, with fewer wrinkles. Was he a child again? How could you say that? Where was the child?

"What about Henry's test results?" Although the fact that Chakradan had the effect of making people younger surprised Su, he was more concerned about Henry Morgan's test results for Chakradan.

"No, nothing!"

Abraham shook his head and said, "After you left, he conducted a comprehensive test on the elixir, but found nothing. He couldn't even detect the most basic substances. The only thing he could confirm was that the elixir contained an unknown energy."

Can't it be detected?

If the Otsutsuki clan is classified as extraterrestrial, then the method of creating chakra pills is alien technology, and it's normal that the substances contained in chakra pills cannot be detected by Earth's current level of technology.

· ····Requesting flowers·· ······

Uh, it always feels a bit strange to bring up science in the supernatural world.

"You still dare to eat it if the test results don't show anything?" Su teased with a smile.

Abraham suddenly became serious: "I will grow old and die, but Henry won't. I'm afraid no one will take care of him after I die."

"I can't understand your mentality of being both a son and a father." After thinking for a moment, Su suddenly smiled and said, "If you do me a favor and succeed, I'll tell you a secret that I think will make you jump for joy."

Abraham said, “Tell me what it is.”

"I'll pay you, and you help me find the African Queen."

Abraham paused for a moment: "The Queen of Africa is..."

“It’s the ship Henry used to gain immortality, I know,” Sue interrupted. “I’m not really interested in the ship itself, what I’m really interested in are the gold coins on board and the gun that killed Henry. Don’t you think they have a lot of collectible value?”

0 ........ .......

Abraham said, "Finding the whereabouts of the Queen won't be that easy. How much are you willing to pay?"

"Five million US dollars will be used for the search and salvage operation. In addition, once the contents of the ship are handed over to me, I will give an extra one million US dollars as a reward to the person in charge of the salvage and transportation work."

"You're so rich!" Abraham muttered enviously, then thought for a moment and pulled out a phone book. "I know someone who's incredibly well-informed. If anyone can find out the whereabouts of the Queen's ship the fastest, it'll be her!"

As he spoke, Abraham dialed a number.

I only asked on the phone if they could find out the whereabouts of the Queen, and after receiving their reply, I asked them to come to the store to talk.

"She happens to be nearby and will be here soon."

Less than twenty minutes after Abraham hung up the phone, the door of the antique shop was pushed open, and a woman greeted him, then stared blankly at Su Shi: "Yes, it's you?"

Su was also surprised that the person Abraham had hired was the master thief Bella.

An immortal forensic doctor and an evil superhero—the characters from these two shows are somehow connected. It just goes to show... no wonder American TV shows are known for their fusion of worlds.

……

P.S.: I specifically watched the commentary on Douyin (TikTok), and there aren't many suitable commentaries for *The Immortal Doctor*. It's a pity I couldn't find a commentary for *The Enchanted Woman*. Perhaps I could write about *Grimm* next; commentaries for *Grimm* are easier to find. *The Enchanted Woman* can only be watched as a regular episode.

Chapter 146 When money speaks, even truth must be silenced.

Bella never expected to encounter Su Shi in this situation. In an instant, two thoughts flashed through her mind: one was to take the opportunity to get close to Su Shi, complete the task assigned by the demon, and exchange it for the deal to break the contract; the other was to confess everything to Su Shi and seek his help.

Yes, Bella made a deal with the devil.

It wasn't the deal from ten years ago, but another deal that Su made with the devil not long ago when he had Olivia search for Bella's Lucky Rabbit Leg.

She managed to get the Colt from Sue and give it to the devil, who then canceled the deal she made ten years ago.

Last time, she asked Su to let her spend the rest of her life searching for a lucky rabbit leg in hopes he would help her break the devil's deal. Clearly, her offer wasn't enough, and Su refused. Should she confess this time? She only had one chance!

"You know him? Perfect, he's the one looking for the Queen of the Non-Zero 87 Continent." Abraham was a little surprised, but he quickly explained the details.

Bella temporarily put aside her thoughts. Since it was Su's mission, no matter what her final choice was, she had to complete the task he had assigned as soon as possible.

Not long after, Bella left in a flurry with the five million dollars given to her by the Su family.

"Let me know if there's any news," Su said to Abraham before turning to leave.

Besides asking about the test results of Chakradan and casually searching for the Golden Ship, Su had specially bought a Pagani Zonda before coming here. Although he doesn't use it often, isn't it appropriate to buy a sports car in a place like New York? Moreover, his other task today was to commission some pure silver items, especially cages.

It's not for keeping pets, it's for keeping vampires.

After all, there are a lot of things in the alternate dimension, and the vampires locked inside can't be left unrestrained. The pure silver cage is definitely the nemesis of vampires.

Just as Su came out of Abel's Antique Shop, he saw a girl in jeans and a black shirt standing next to his yellow convertible sports car parked on the side of the road, putting on a parking ticket.

This seems to be the first time I've received a parking ticket, right?

Ms. Su chuckled and walked over to the policewoman issuing the ticket, asking, "How much is a ticket?"

The policewoman turned to look at Su: "Your car?"

Su nodded.

“Your car is parked in a no-parking zone. The ticket is $115, and your car will be towed away. The towing fee will be around $180-$200,” the policewoman dutifully explained to Ms. Su, but showed no intention of stopping.

"Can the ticket be withdrawn if I drive away now?" Su took out two hundred US dollars from her wallet and handed it over: "I will pay the fine."

The policewoman shook her head: "First of all, I have already reported it, and the tow truck will be here soon. Secondly, if you want to pay, you can do so according to the instructions on the ticket. I am not responsible for collecting fines."

Did the policewoman not understand what she meant? Of course she did!

So… Su took out a few more bills from her wallet: “A thousand US dollars. I don’t want to waste too much time.”

The policewoman sneered, "I've seen plenty of rich people like you. Rules are rules. Money doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want."

“Sorry, but money really can buy anything,” Su casually remarked. He rarely had the chance to flaunt his wealth, and he felt it necessary to make this policewoman realize the true nature of the world.

"What's your name?"

“Joe Martinez, you can file a complaint against me anytime.”

Joe Martinez?

Ms. Su was taken aback, and carefully examined the seemingly indifferent policewoman. Was she Joe Martinez? The female lead in *Forever*, Henry Morgan's partner, a female detective in the NYPD?

Su was surprised and didn't recognize him.

Joe Martinez looks much younger now than in the TV series; his appearance and demeanor have changed drastically. And aren't you a detective? How come you're taking over the traffic cop's job and issuing tickets?

“You can issue the ticket, and you can tow the car away. Don’t worry, I won’t complain about you. I’ll just make you pay the fine yourself and drive the car as my driver!” Mrs. Su said with a smile.

“You’re dreaming,” Joe Martinez scoffed.

When money speaks, even truth must be silenced.

Su shrugged, took out her phone, and called Luke: "Find out which department a policewoman named Joe Martinez is under, and have her superior call me. I want to sponsor them with one million US dollars."

Luke on the other end of the phone was about to bring up his old complaints again—"I'm not your housekeeper. We haven't been in touch for so long, and the first thing you say is asking me to look someone up? That's a bit much, isn't it?"—but then he heard that it was a million-dollar grant, and Luke swallowed his complaints.

"Give me ten minutes."

After saying that, Luke hung up the phone.

Although the money wasn't going to his police station, Luke was still willing to help.

A few minutes later, Su's phone rang.

"Hello, are you Mr. Su? I heard that you want to provide financial assistance to our police station? On behalf of all my colleagues, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to you. Thank you very much for your support."

Su looked at Joe Martinez, whose expression was gradually turning ugly, with a half-smile, and said to the person on the phone, "No need for thank yous or anything like that. Just promise me one thing, and the funding will be in your account immediately. Joe Martinez, please explain the situation to your superior."

As she spoke, Ms. Su handed over the phone.

After taking the phone, Joe Martinez first identified himself to his superior, and then quietly explained what had happened and the harsh words Su had just said.

She thought her boss would support her, but... she was naive.
