Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 259

For a moment, Zhao Yi felt his brain go blank and his consciousness was spinning. If Lin Shuyou hadn't supported him in time, he would have almost fallen off the man's back.

Like a drowning person, stretching out his hands, frantically trying to grab everything, Zhao Yi slapped Lin Shuyou's shoulders hard, and Lin Shuyou turned around and looked at Zhao Yi.

"Ah, you are the most honest and reliable, so I am asking you something very seriously. You must answer me truthfully. I only trust you."

Lin Shuyou frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this moment, Lin Shuyou's impatient expression looked like a fairy in Zhao Yi's eyes.

The already dead heart twitched twice at this moment, showing signs of coming back to life.

After all, if that were true, then Lin Shuyou, who had the worst impression of me, would definitely be the first one to gloat over my misfortune, at least he would laugh until his back bent and his face disfigured.

Zhao Yi pointed at Yin Meng who was burning paper and asked, "Who is Yin Meng offering to?"

Lin Shuyou looked at Zhao Yi as if he were a fool, and said as a matter of course: "Her ancestor."

"She has this habit after every wave. Does she want to offer sacrifices to thank the ancestors for their blessings?"

"Huh? This isn't the first time you've teamed up with us. Don't you know if she had this habit before? Besides, we're Meng Meng, and we're not that filial."

"what……"

Zhao Yi's heart rate, which had originally been fluctuating slightly, turned into a straight line at this moment.

"Buzz!"

Previously, the yellow paper couldn't be lit even with a lighter, but now, with the yellow paper in hand, it caught fire quickly without even having time to shake it.

The rest of the yellow paper next to it caught fire as soon as it was picked up, so fast that Yin Meng didn't have time to put it into a ball, and could only let go and throw it away.

The fire burning on the yellow paper is black. Even though the yellow paper has been burned to ashes, the black flame still continues to exist, swaying faintly on the ground and in the air.

Lin Shuyou was surprised and said: "It seems that the emperor is really angry this time."

Yin Meng sighed and replied, "Yeah."

Lin Shuyou comforted him, "It's okay. You're doing this for all of us. When Xiaoyuan wakes up, he should be able to think of a way to explain to the emperor. Don't worry too much."

Yin Meng looked at Lin Shuyou with some confusion.

Lin Shuyou: "What's wrong?"

Yin Meng: "It wasn't me who sacrificed that thing."

Lin Shuyou: "Not you?"

Yin Meng: "It's the one on your back."

When the sacrifice began, Lin Shuyou was fighting with Yuanbao on the front line. After the sacrifice was successful, a large group of corpse spirits attacked from the rear and almost took Lin Shuyou away.

Therefore, Lin Shuyou was not clear about the specific process of the sacrifice and did not know that Zhao Yi played a leading role in it.

At this moment, Ayou understood, and then Ayou's shoulders began to shake up and down, causing Zhao Yi behind him to be shaken as well.

"Hahahahaha!"

Lin Shuyou laughed so hard that tears came out. He let go of Zhao Yi's hand and wiped his tears.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand loosened, Zhao Yi slipped off his back and fell to the ground. His eyes were open but unfocused and his expression was numb.

All hopes were shattered, and the anxiety that had existed before finally turned into the most terrifying fear.

"Zhao Yi, are you okay?" Lin Shuyou patted Zhao Yi's face. "Young Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao, three eyes, three-eyed boy? Hahahahaha."

Zhao Yi murmured: "How dare he, how dare you..."

In Zhao Yi's imagination, the object of sacrifice was indeed some special shrine of obscenity.

He knew that Yin Meng's surname was Yin and who Yin Meng was from.

But he originally thought that the reason why Mr. Li created and taught this secret technique to Yin Meng was, firstly, to complete his means of attack in group battles, and secondly, to rely on Yin Meng's identity as a descendant of the Yin family to suppress the Temple of Obscenity and thus achieve a better effect.

Zhao Yi knew that there was a little conflict between the man surnamed Li and the King of Fengdu, because when he was in Lijiang, the man surnamed Li had invited him to go to Fengdu together to look for opportunities in the future.

But conflicts are conflicts, and conflicts often occur between parents and children. In Li's team, he is the one who masters the Twelve Laws of Fengdu, and he also has Yin Meng as his bloodline. This means that both the bloodline inheritance and the Taoist inheritance are there. A little conflict...what does it matter?
Therefore, Zhao Yi really didn't think about it that way. He didn't admit that he was narrow-minded, but that the man surnamed Li looked very calm and ruthless on weekdays. Who knew that he could be so crazy when doing things?

This secret technique should not have been created. Even if it was created and not used, it would be a great disrespect to the Emperor.

Now, not only was it used, but Yin Meng was very familiar with it. The reason why the sacrifice had not been successful before was because the emperor was resisting the sacrifice this time, and then... he, Zhao Yi of Jiujiang, took action. Not only did he reprimand the emperor, but he also forced the sacrifice over.

Zhao Yi was already beginning to panic. Has the emperor already taken action against the Zhao family in Jiujiang?

Because there was a rumor in the martial arts world not long ago that the man in Fengdu suddenly woke up from his slumber and issued a decree to annihilate a hidden family.

This kind of terrifying existence sometimes doesn't even require much effort. All it needs to do is lightly stretch out its hand and give the first slap. Then, according to the habits of the underworld, countless forces weaker or even stronger than you will swarm over and tear your flesh and blood clean.

Zhao Yi knew very well that he was different. The Li people, including Yin Meng, could do the same heinous thing. Even though they knew that the emperor would be angry, they still had a special layer of insurance.

But Zhao Yi didn't have that. He was an outsider. It was very likely that because of his forceful action this time, the emperor would transfer all his accumulated anger towards the Li family and vent it on himself.

The black will-o'-the-wisp flickered and finally gathered into a ball. The ashes of the yellow paper rolled up without wind and fell to the ground, forming a line of words:

[The entire family of the Zhao family in Jiujiang awaits the title]

Yin Meng blinked her eyes. Brother Xiaoyuan was unconscious, Binbin fell asleep, and Master Zhao was numb.

As a result, she now finds it difficult to understand and is unsure when reading the messages from her ancestors.

Yin Meng: "Ayou, come over and take a look at what this means."

Lin Shuyou turned his head and took a look, falling into thought.

Yin Meng: "What does ancestor mean?"

Lin Shuyou: "We are just two cobblers, so we are still cobblers."

Yin Meng: "Ask the boy."

Lin Shuyou: "Oh, yes, there are three now."

Ayou immediately called out to the boy in his heart. Since Xiaoyuan was in a coma, the boy could open his vertical pupils without any hesitation.

The boy said, "The great emperor who is in charge of the underworld appoints an official title to someone, which means that person will die in the underworld. If he bestows titles on the entire family, it means that the whole family will die."

Zhao Yi, lying on the ground, turned pale.

It's not that he is useless and just gives up like this, but there is room for maneuver in other matters and other opponents. Even if the elders of the clan were stupid enough to send a document to Old Lady Liu hinting at a marriage, he, Zhao Yi, could still fight back a glimmer of hope in front of Uncle Qin.

But the existence of the Great Emperor is already on another level.

The boy walked up to Zhao Yi, kicked him lightly with his foot, and said, "There is a waiting seal, so nothing will happen for the time being."

Zhao Yi: "For the time being..."

Boy: "The emperor has always wanted our Xiaoyuan...brother to return to Fengdu. If you can go to Fengdu with us in the future, then this misunderstanding may be resolved. At least, there is room for resolution, and the whole family will not go to the underworld to serve as officials."

Zhao Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at the boy: "You are trying to win me over and set a trap for me."

After getting rid of the shock, Zhao Yi's wisdom immediately took over.

Tongzi: "You can choose to follow or not. Well, actually you don't have a choice."

Zhao Yi: “That’s right.”

Getting up from the ground, Zhao Yi looked at Tan Wenbin who was sleeping there, his eyes slightly gloomy.

He spent the whole day hunting geese but got his eyes pecked by a goose. What a sinister guy!
When Zhao Yi thought about it again, he realized that when he was talking to himself about the sacrifice, he deliberately changed all the ways to address Yin Meng to "Meng Meng" in order to ignore this surname.

This is a trap that has been dug long ago, waiting for me to jump into it, so that they can bind me and go to Fengdu together in the future.

Lin Shuyou's eyes disappeared and returned to normal. He looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "Are you still leaving?"

Runsheng came back at this time, holding a dead centipede in his hand.

The ashes of the emperor's writings had not yet dispersed. Runsheng glanced at them as he passed by and said:

"Getting on board."

Zhao Yi exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at the centipede in Runsheng's hand, and asked, "Did it come out from the body of a Yu family member?"

Runsheng: “Yeah.”

Zhao Yi: "There's only one? One can control multiple people, which means the centipede may have..."

Runsheng: "Three, I ate two, they tasted good, very fragrant and crispy."

Zhao Yi: “…”

Runsheng handed the centipede to Zhao Yi: "Take a look and see if it's any use."

Zhao Yi turned it over with his hand and found that the centipede was dead. Moreover, this embedded control method was actually much lower-level than witchcraft. The means were very crude and had no research value.

"Wait for Mr. Li to wake up and tell him that you don't need to take this thing back. Just eat it."

"it is good."

Runsheng lowered his head and bit off half of the centipede in one bite, making a "crunching" sound in his mouth.

Zhao Yi: "Everything is packed, let's go."

Runsheng pointed to the black pool and said, "Inside there, there is a bead on the belly of the white dog."

Zhao Yi: "Although the restriction is not running as smoothly as before, the effect is still there. The bead is aimed at the evil spirit. The evil spirit was killed by Li, so the bead has no value."

Runsheng: “Oh, I see.”

After everyone packed up their things, they walked in the direction they came from and met Chen Jing.

Chen Jing found three bodies, one was split in half, one was charred, and one was intact. They were all members of the Yu family who died in the restriction when they came in earlier.

There was nothing good on them, including the most capable fighter Yu Qing, who didn't even have a weapon in his hand. This showed how harshly the Yu family's monsters controlled and suppressed the Yu family members.

However, Runsheng still collected three more centipedes. This time he was reluctant to eat them all at once. Instead, he and Yin Meng found an empty jar and put them in it, intending to save them for a midnight snack.

With Chen Jing's leadership, everyone had a smooth journey when they left.

After exiting the Water Curtain Cave, continue walking a little further and arrive at the ground.

At this moment, the sky is just getting light and the air in the mountains is very fresh.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.

Since there is no way to change the situation, I might as well just close my eyes and enjoy it.

Anyway, I will go to Fengdu with the guy named Li in the future. If we die, we die together. There is nothing to lose for myself.

A pheasant flew past in front.

Liang Yan: "Is that pheasant controlled by Sun Yan?"

Liang Li: "Where is Sun Yanren?"

Zhao Yi: "Smear the blood on your face."

After a while, Sun Yan, with blood all over her face and body, ran over hurriedly. The expression on her face changed from shock to disbelief to surprise. When she ran over, she began to cry.

"Boss, I'm so glad you're all okay and out safely. I was so worried about you, really."

The performance was too much, but Zhao Yi did not expose it. Instead, he smiled warmly:
"It's okay. Everyone is fine. That's great. You've worked hard. Let's go back down the mountain."

Sun Yan completed her tasks and responsibilities, but she did not take the initiative to be killed by the Yu family.

This may be an extremely ironic point, that is, Zhao Yi, who is good at manipulating people's hearts, only cares about people's deeds rather than their intentions when employing them.

On the contrary, Li Zhuiyuan, who has no emotions, pays more attention to and is more demanding of his partners' inner feelings, and can even draw a red line on this basis.

When they returned to the foot of the mountain, they met Xu Ming again. Without any delay, they went straight back to the city guesthouse.

As soon as we settled down, Wu Xin came on his three-seater motorcycle.

He had just finished the work at hand and made some time to have some fun with the guys who came to support him.

Zhao Yi: "You guys go ahead, we'll take care of the wounded. I won't kill the Lis here, after all, my whole family is still waiting to be conferred a title."

This made sense and even Runsheng felt relieved.

In the past, Brother Xiaoyuan definitely could not stay alone with Zhao Yi, but now he doesn't have this concern, because Young Master Zhao is probably more worried about Brother Xiaoyuan getting into an accident than they are.

Just like that, Runsheng, Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng went out to play with Wu Xin.

Wu Xin originally thought that Runsheng's previous statement of "watching pandas" was a joke, but when he saw Yin Meng, a woman, also coming out, he knew that such an exciting program could not be arranged.

I could only act as a well-behaved tour guide and take them to the Panda Park and several scenic spots in Chengdu.

When watching the panda, it was sitting opposite me in a cute manner, eating bamboo with great relish.

Runsheng couldn't help it, so he reached out and pulled out a piece of bamboo, took a bite and chewed it, then swallowed it. He found it tasted very bad, so he threw the rest of the bamboo back.

The panda stopped eating bamboo for a long time, opened its mouth, and looked at Runsheng.

Without his previous identities as the Chief Official and Lord White Crane, Lin Shuyou is essentially still a male college student. At this age, he loves to play. He even spent money to buy the experience qualification, and took many photos while holding the red panda.

Compared with the recreational activities, Yin Meng enjoyed the "sense of local accent" more.

No matter whether it's the "Hou" of Nantong or the terrible "Hou" of Jinling, she still likes the Sichuan and Chongqing dialects. The tone of voice becomes so high after a few more words that it almost sounds like singing an opera, which makes her feel extremely relaxed and happy.

After dinner in the evening, Wu Xin sent them back to the guesthouse in Dujiangyan.

When they parted, Wu Xin said politely, "There are so many fun places in Chengdu. I really hope you can stay for a few more days so that I can take you to explore them all."

Yin Meng: "Okay!"

Wu Xin coughed and asked, "Then let's continue tomorrow?"

Yin Meng: "Okay."

Wu Xin pursed his lips and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning?"

Yin Meng: "Okay."

Wu Xin smiled: "Okay, then it's settled. I'll get a car tomorrow so it'll be more convenient."

The three-seater motorcycle was still a bit crowded, so he drove the car, Runsheng sat behind him, and Lin Shuyou sat on the luggage rack. Wu Xin was also amazed at the young man's amazing waist and leg strength, and he was not hurt at all after getting off the car.

After Wu Xin left, Lin Shuyou scratched his head and said, "Why do I feel like he was just being polite?"

Runsheng: “She knows.”

Yin Meng: "Anyway, Brother Xiaoyuan and Zhuangzhuang haven't woken up yet, and we have to stay here, so why not continue playing."

Lin Shuyou: “Agree.”

The next morning, the three followed Wu Xin out again.

When he came back in the evening, Wu Xin did not politely ask about tomorrow's arrangements, nor did he express his admiration for the colorful city of Chengdu or express any regrets.

He was not afraid to spend money and was willing to buy gifts to express his gratitude, but being a vegan tour guide was extremely boring.

Therefore, on the third day, Yin Meng drove his own pickup truck to continue playing. Sisters Liang Yan and Liang Li had recovered from their injuries and wanted to go along.

Runsheng originally didn't plan to go, he wanted to stay here to bask in the sun. But Yin Meng looked at the bench at the entrance of the guesthouse and the receptionist sitting inside, and decisively rejected Runsheng's request.

Runsheng had no choice but to continue following the car.

"Squeak..."

The door was pushed open and the room was filled with cold air. Zhao Yi shivered when he came in with the tonic.

Tan Wenbin was lying on the bed with a talisman stuck on his forehead, still in a coma.

Zhao Yi was sure that he was pretending to sleep, because Zhao Yi knew that in Tan Wenbin's current state, it would be difficult for him to successfully take a short nap, let alone sleep for three days and three nights.

Zhao Yi could understand that he was pretending to be asleep, after all, he would have to face himself when he really woke up.

"Heh, you're fucking pretending to sleep to avoid me, and I still have to worry about you starving yourself to death."

Zhao Yi placed a large bowl of tonic on the bedside table, which he had asked Sun Yan to prepare.

I turned around and prepared to go out, but felt a little unwilling.

Zhao Yi's eyes widened and his heart beat faster as he saw two children sitting next to Tan Wenbin's pillow, laughing and playing.

The two children's bodies have become thicker these days, and the air-conditioning in the room is stronger than before, so frost has formed on their bodies.

"With this cooling effect, it would be a shame if we didn't sell refrigerators. We can draw these two kids and stick them on the refrigerator as a trademark."

The two children ignored Zhao Yi and continued to play their own games: "You clap once, I clap once, a doll is sitting on a plane..."

Zhao Yi took the initiative to make faces at the two children and said:

"Lululu, your father will not want you soon~"

Hearing this, the two children sat there in a daze, then their noses twitched and tears welled up in their eyes.

Zhao Yi frowned. She was so obedient, how could she still hold it in at this time?

Master Zhao continued, "Your father will have his own biological children, and you will definitely be abandoned~"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The two children burst into tears, and the room immediately became eerie.

Zhao Yi walked out of the room contentedly and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the two children immediately stopped crying, wiped their tears, and continued to play the high-five game.

It was as if all the tears and crying before were just to make Young Master Zhao feel better.

Tan Wenbin opened his eyes. One of the two children supported Tan Wenbin's back so that he could sit up with his back against the bed, while the other one brought the bowl of medicine on the bedside table.

If someone who is unable to walk in the underworld saw this scene, the quilt would fold itself and move to the back of Tan Wenbin, and the medicine bowl would fly up by itself and float in front of Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin lowered his head and took a big sip of medicine, then looked towards the door and sighed:
"You are so old, but you are still so childish."

……

After returning to his room, Zhao Yi first checked the condition of Li Zhuiyuan in the next bed, and then put a precious pill into the boy's mouth.

Mr. Li is in good physical condition and his mental overdraft has also been significantly recovered.

Logically, he should have woken up long ago, but the problem is that there is no sign of waking up yet.

Zhao Yi couldn't help but suspect that the man surnamed Li was deliberately trying to trick him into taking the medicine, or he was trying to imitate the air conditioner next door and sleep until he left and then shirk his responsibility.

Young Master Zhao had to deliberately squeeze his wounds manually every day to make them bleed a little and prevent them from healing and scabbing so quickly.

The door of the room was pushed open and Chen Jing walked in carrying a small bag.

Zhao Yi asked, "How is your grandmother?"

Chen Jing: "Much better. The doctor said I need to stay in the hospital for two more days for observation."

My grandmother was hit hard by the passing of my grandfather, and she was already ill, so she is now in the hospital for observation and recuperation.

"Have you told your grandmother?"

"I've told you that grandpa's body will be kept in the morgue for two more days. When grandma is well again, I'll take her back to the village with me to handle the funeral."

"Well, we also help out during funerals. Those people are professionals and they do this for a living in Nantong."

Chen Jing smiled, took out a few ancient books from his bag, opened a notebook, and began to copy.

Zhao Yi planned to help him sort out what he had learned before, so as to help the child lay a better foundation.

Although the two did not talk in detail, they understood each other tacitly.

Zhao Yi believed that the child would choose to follow him. In the past few days, in addition to going to the hospital to accompany his grandmother and studying with him, he has visited several nursing homes outside.

In fact, it’s not that the child doesn’t want to continue living here with his grandmother, but he himself realizes that if he continues to stay in Qingcheng Mountain, he will inevitably think of what happened, and his mood will become violent.

He needed to change his environment and leave here until he had the ability to suppress the negative effects of his bloodline.

After writing a long paragraph, Chen Jing drank a sip of water, rubbed his wrist and looked at Li Zhuiyuan lying on the bed:

"Brother Yi, when will Brother Xiaoyuan wake up?"

"You have to ask him. Maybe he is having a happy dream."

……

"It's time for you to wake up."

"No rush, just wait."

deep in consciousness.

The rotten and dilapidated houses have been rebuilt, the fields have regained their vitality, and the view has returned to being vast.

Li Zhuiyuan was sitting on the second-floor terrace, opposite the main body, and the two were playing chess.

In terms of Go skills, the main body has the advantage, and Li Zhuiyuan has never been able to beat him because the main body has done in-depth research on Go.

"I lost."

Li Zhuiyuan leaned back, turned his head and looked at the early summer scenery.

With this place, it is convenient to go back to my hometown. There is no need to travel by boat or by train. If I want to go back to my hometown, I just need to close my eyes and go deep into my consciousness.

But what truly represents home is not the buildings and fields at home, but the people at home.

The original body could have "created" Li Sanjiang, A'li and the others, and even given them the same behavioral logic as in reality, but the original body did not do so.

Because fake is fake after all, and it is impossible to deceive this "inner demon" of yours.

In the past, when Li Zhuiyuan encountered this kind of illusion that specifically exploited the softest part of your heart, he could kill everyone there without blinking an eye.

The main body looked at the chessboard and said, "You are not playing seriously."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I can't beat you even if I take it seriously."

Original Body: "I can't understand your laziness."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm sorry, will this make your disguise more difficult?"

Main body: “Yeah.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's actually not that difficult. You see, you put a lot of effort into studying Go. Isn't that another form of laziness in essence?"

Original body: "This is the seal you put on me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I didn't put any seal on you. The main reason is that you also know the seals I know. I don't know which seal can seal you."

Original body: "Your seal is not inside, but outside."

Li Zhuiyuan reached out to take the Jianlibao, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the large teacup used by his grandfather next to him, on which was printed a big red "囍" character.

Although his memory has been restored, the memory of the strange taste he tasted last time he drank here is still there. For a short period of time, he is somewhat resistant to this drink and would rather drink Taiye's Heytea.

Original body: "You already know that the better you recover, the more difficult it will be for me to replace you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "So this time, I gave you time to learn and imitate me."

Original body: "This is another plan of yours. You noticed that I was studying you, and you wanted to lead me down this path. When the original body becomes the same as the inner demon, I will disappear, and you will be the only one."

Li Zhuiyuan: "But I see that you imitated very attentively."

Original body: "Trial and error requires active steps. I can't just do nothing. I have to try what I should try. If it doesn't work, I'll stop. If it works... then you're the one who should be worried."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's change the subject. It's a bit cliché for you and I, as the inner demon and the real body, to sit down and just talk about this kind of thing."

Main Body: "What do you want to talk about?"

Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the distance and said, "Grandpa has taken over that pond this year. Xiong Shan cleaned it up and put some fish fry in it. I went there yesterday and saw that you haven't made any changes yet."

Original body: "That's because you've never been there in real life. How can I change it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know about this, so you must know about this too. If you haven't seen it, can't you change it first?"

Main Body: “That makes sense.”

Then, the main body closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It's fixed. Do you want to go and see it again?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "No, I won't go. When I get back, I can watch it in reality."

The main body was not angry, but just nodded.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the room and asked, "Where are those books and your notes? Why are they still empty?"

The main body stood up, walked to the door of the room, pushed it open, and found it was filled with books and notes.

These are the summary and sublimation of the various techniques, formations and other ways in Li Zhuiyuan's memory that the main body has accumulated over the past few days.

Li Zhuiyuan walked in and smelled the strong aroma of ink.

He took out a book that recorded formations, opened it, and found it was blank.

I put this one aside and opened the other books, and they were all blank.

Li Zhuiyuan: "What's the point of this? The book is out, but the content is all covered up? My joy is in vain."

Original body: "If you can just read my research summary, then wouldn't that make me your slave?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't speak so harshly."

Main Body: "This should be the situation you want most."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the bed and lay down.

The main body followed and asked again: "You can wake up now."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Have you released the fry from the new fish pond?"

The main body: "Besides me, there is no living thing here. Without the false self-consciousness, in my eyes, there is no meaning of existence."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let it go, raise a pond of fish, and when I throw away my emotional garbage in the future, I will just throw it there as fish feed, and I won't have to come here to disturb you."

"it is good."

The original body left.

Li Zhuiyuan sat up from the bed, walked out of the room, and came to the terrace, where he could see his real body walking along the path in the field.

The boy could have woken up a long time ago. What was happening outside must have been over. And judging from the speed of his mental recovery, Zhao Yi must have bled a lot to feed himself medicine.

The reason they didn't leave was that an evil spirit entered here that day and it caused a very heavy black rain.

When he joined forces with his original body to fight against the evil spirit, all the nearby scenery became blurred, including the east and west houses and the dam, which were also invisible. Most parts of the building were corroded and fell off, and only the room of the original body lasted the longest.

Originally, Li Zhuiyuan also thought so, until afterwards, he suddenly realized one thing, that is, there was still a place that seemed to have persisted.

The basement of my great grandfather’s house!
What is the secret that makes the main body still guard that place at such a critical moment?

Li Zhuiyuan walked downstairs and when he passed the cabinet on the first floor, he opened the second drawer, took out a key, and then came to the door of the basement.

There was still the big rusty lock on the iron gate.

Li Zhuiyuan inserted the key and twisted it, but it couldn't open.

The main body's voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook the key in his hand awkwardly: "You know."

Original body: "I told you before, I can't show you what I'm studying."

Li Zhuiyuan threw the key aside and said, "You came back really quickly."

Main body: "There's no need to waste much time. Before you came here, I had always used my time very efficiently."

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm leaving."

He clapped his hands on the iron door, but it made no sound.

Li Zhuiyuan walked out, and when he passed by the main body, he did not stay, but walked straight to the dam, closed his eyes and raised his head, then slowly opened his eyes to look at the sun, and his figure disappeared immediately.

The main body walked over, picked up the key, and murmured:

"Did you notice that?"

He pulled another key from his pocket, unlocked it, and pushed the iron door open.

A dusty atmosphere filled the air, as if this place had not been opened for a long time.

The main body reached out and grabbed the rope extending from the wall behind the door, and gently pulled it downwards:
"Bah!"

light is on.

In the basement, there were no boxes as in reality, nor piles of books and notes, only rows of chairs and benches.

Sitting on the bench were Tan Wenbin, Runsheng, Yin Meng, Lin Shuyou and other people who were close to Li Zhuiyuan.

They all sat there with their eyes closed. Some of them had already been mostly molded but were still missing arms and legs; some had only a face opened and had not had time for further work.

But in terms of spirit and charm, it can be said to be lifelike, as if it were a real person.

The main body picked up the carving knife on the ground, walked forward and started carving.

Its craftsmanship is very sophisticated.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't care about winning or losing when playing Go with A-Li, so he didn't really put in the effort to study Go. Similarly, with A-Li's carving skills, Li Zhuiyuan didn't do any detailed or in-depth work in that area.

But ontology is different, it is truly studied because it is useful.

The few days that Li Zhuiyuan was here seriously delayed the construction of the main body. This was an extremely huge project, and it was not enough to just finish it; it also had to be changed synchronously all the time.

"Replace you, imitate you, pretend to be you, so as to inherit your network..."

The carving knife in the main body's hand flipped randomly, leaving multiple afterimages.
“Why can’t you replace your entire network of relationships?”
