Chapter 1069 Who is the Real Culprit (Part 12)
A cold wind was howling.

The snow on the courtyard wall formed streaks of white.

The Hanshan Academy was firmly sealed in the deep winter night.

The three of them made a soft crunching sound as they walked on the snow.

He Yu walked at the front, his back taut like a ruler.

He didn't know how he, a dignified head of the abbot, had fallen to such a state!

Threatened by two female students whose cultivation level was lower than his own, he led the way to see a corpse in the middle of the night!
The more I think about it, the more bored it becomes.

He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

"He Zhaizhang," a cool voice came from behind, "you're not deliberately trying to let others hear, are you?"

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Do I need to remind you again? I've already set up a timed post for Mirage on the Bright Forum. If you report us or kill us off, then I'm sorry—"

"Why would I kill you?" He Yu gritted his teeth.

“Who knows?” Liu Sheng shrugged. “In any case, once the Skynet is restored, everyone will know how ruthless He Zhaizhang is, unless I cancel it myself.”

"...Okay, I understand."

He Yu could only swallow his anger.

He led the two through numerous corridors and courtyards.

The further you go, the more remote you become.

The further I walked, the quieter it became.

"You're not really planning to kill us, are you?"

He Yu was met with further skepticism from behind.

"Of course not! I don't want to waste time and cause trouble!" He Yu said angrily. "However, the body is definitely not suitable to be placed in the main area of ​​the academy. In addition, the great formation seals off the area so that no one can enter or leave. Therefore, we can only temporarily place it in this place where no one comes."

As he spoke, he pointed to an inconspicuous little house in the distance.

The thick snow weighed down the tiles, and the windows were pitch black, without a single ray of light.

"But why are you investigating this case? Who exactly are you?"

As He Yu walked to the door, he asked.

He was asking about Liu Sheng.

He could obviously tell that the other girl was just following him and didn't care about the truth of Zhou Yun's death.

After all, even he doesn't really care.

Liu Sheng said in a serious tone:
"Because I consulted 'World' about my chosen field of study today, and it suggested that I should go in the direction of investigation."

He Yu immediately realized: "Oh, so you mean going to the Imperial Textile Bureau, the Court of Judicial Review, or other government offices in the future? No wonder you're so enthusiastic...you want to practice, right?"

"...I guess so."

Yun Jizhao nodded silently to the side.

It's like they finally understand.

"Open the door quickly," Liu Sheng urged.

"Okay, I want to hurry up too!"

He Yu muttered something, took out the token, and shone it on the door.

With a click, the door opened.

"Fortunately, I am the head of the temple and have the authority here."

He proudly straightened his back even more.

He urged again:
"Go in! Hurry up and finish reading, I still need to go back and do a psychological assessment, which must be submitted today! Don't forget either."

Upon hearing "psychological assessment," Yun Jizhao was still a little nervous and subconsciously checked the time.

"Two hours left..."

Liu Sheng was not worried.

It's better not to do it.

If there really is a tomorrow, I'd be happy to face the hospital head-on.

But it would be best if this could be resolved tonight.

The three of them stepped into the house.

A sudden chill swept over me.

It was precisely because of the effect of the ice magic array used to slow down the decomposition of the corpses that there was no foul smell, only a faint smell of blood.

The room was small and dark inside.

When the spirit pearl lamp shone, a low, long table appeared in the center, covered with a layer of white cloth, with a slightly raised human figure on it.

He Yu dared not approach, but stood by the door, staring at the corpse, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Yun Jizhao did not dare to step forward.

Liu Sheng remained calm and raised his hand to lift the white cloth.

Zhou Yun lay quietly.

His face was pale, but he looked as if he were asleep.

At first glance, the tightly closed eyelids seemed to tremble slightly, as if they were about to open at any moment.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed to be just an illusion.

As if to break the cold, deathly silence, He Yu took the initiative to ask, "What...what exactly are you looking for?"

“I think there are still clues on her,” Liu Sheng replied.

"But the academy has already had a female instructor who studied medicine examine the child, and it was confirmed that the death was due to suffocation; there were no other abnormalities..."

Liu Sheng ignored him and asked again:

Where are her belongings?

“They’re all here.” He Yu pointed to the storage bag next to Zhou Yun. “We’ve searched them all, but we didn’t find anything special.”

Have you found any messages from her spirit?

“Spiritual messages? There aren’t any… That’s strange…”

Liu Sheng then pulled a small knife from his storage bag.

The next second—

puff.

The knife tip plunged directly into the junction of Zhou Yun's head and cervical spine.

He Yu was so surprised he almost jumped up.

"What are you doing!"

However, Liu Sheng remained calm and exerted a slight force on her wrist.

With a snap, just like opening an oyster, Zhou Yun's skull was easily pried open.

A foul stench poured out.

He Yu subconsciously held her breath, and her voice instantly caught in her throat.

He saw it clearly—

Embedded in Zhou Yun's grayish-white brain tissue was a palm-sized object.

"A spiritual message?" After a long pause, he finally found his voice. "How could a spiritual message be in her...mind?"

"Didn't you see the mirage in front of the evil-repelling mirror? What did Zhou Yun do before she met you?"

"I... I didn't have time... Of course, I'll just jump to the time when I appeared... Actually, according to the procedure, even I would have to apply to see the backend... But I can't care about that anymore..."

"I see."

Liu Sheng nodded, her brows furrowing slightly. "But it really is strange..."

"W-What's strange?"

"Her brain was decomposed beyond imagination, but the key point is that her body was still well preserved."

As Liu Sheng spoke, he extracted the spiritual message from Zhou Yun's brain tissue, which had softened into tofu dregs.

Strands of semi-liquefied tissue fibers were tangled together weakly, and could easily fall off with a gentle tug.

This scene is too bizarre and disgusting.

Yun Jizhao covered his mouth tightly.

"She...she's a Newtype, right? This...this might be the price she pays for her abilities." He Yu got goosebumps all over and urged, "Hurry, hurry up..."

"understood."

Liu Sheng responded indifferently, casually casting a cleansing spell to remove the brain matter from the spiritual message, and placed it aside.

He bent down again, preparing to close Zhou Yun's head.

But strangely, it wasn't as simple as Zhou Yun casually closing her hand in the mirage.

As soon as she covered it, the skull bounced up again.

Cover it again, and it bounces up again.

The vibration even caused his eyelids to be pulled open.

His eyes revealed a pair of unfocused, lifeless white pupils.

He Yu was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Under the pale light of the spirit pearl lamp, Zhou Yun looked like a lifeless puppet, her face held upright in a grotesque posture, staring straight at him.

"How about...we just give up?" Yun Jizhao said softly. "Anyway, we came here for this spiritual message, and time is of the essence..."

However, she had only just finished saying that sentence.

There was only a click.

Zhou Yun's neck was abruptly turned in one direction.

That upright face was directly aimed at Yun Jizhao.

Yun Jizhao was startled.

"This……"

She quickly pinched a talisman into her hand.

But before it could be thrown out, flames suddenly rose up, and it was burned to ashes.

He Yu took a step back.

Just as I was about to leave, there was a loud bang.

The door behind me was suddenly closed.

There was silence in the room.

There were only three people.

Facing a corpse with a wildly imaginative design.
