Chapter 256 I’m Afraid You Won’t Take Action

The body was in the mortuary, so there was no need to trouble Lao Zhou to help take the body out of the freezer. Xiao Ran took the key and went straight to the mortuary.

They wore gloves and masks. Because the two bodies were smashed into a mass of meat, it was difficult to separate them, so they were not put into body bags like normal bodies. Instead, they were covered with simple bedding and sheets.

After Xiao Ran lifted the bed sheet, he looked at the two corpses in front of him. He neither made a statement nor showed any contempt. Instead, he examined the corpses with a professional eye.

He then picked up the tools and began to cut up the body.

……

The funeral home is located in a remote area and there are not many buildings nearby, so there are no shops or the like nearby.

If you want to buy something, there is a small shop inside the funeral home. Don’t be fooled by its small size and inconspicuousness. The annual rent starts at 200,000 yuan.

Small shops are usually busier in the morning and have steady business, but they die in the afternoon.

The door was opened symbolically only to serve the funeral home employees.

The boss was lying on a rocking chair, watching a video on his phone in one hand. He was enjoying the video when he heard a few "bang, bang, bang!" sounds.

Looking up, I saw a figure standing at the door.

It was summer, but the visitor was wearing a very tight windbreaker and a round hat on his head, which made the boss frown.

"What do you want?"

The boss sat up and asked.

"Get a pack of cigarettes, Golden Leaf."

"No, how about Shiqu?"

Hearing that there were no golden leaves, the man looked around, and after confirming that there were no golden leaves, he turned and left.

The boss saw this and curled his lips: "Psycho!"

After the boss finished scolding, he seemed to realize that his voice was a bit loud. He glanced at the man guiltily, but when he leaned his head out, the man had disappeared. He couldn't help but curl his lips and continued to lie in the chair and browse his phone.

At the same time, Xiao Ran's work had reached the stage of suturing.

It was not difficult for Xiao Ran to separate the bodies. He just needed to take out a large amount of broken bones from the two people with tweezers. The small bones were discarded, and the bones in the chest cavity were repaired as much as possible. If they could not be repaired, bones from other places were used instead.

The dead don't need to care about these details.

All that’s left to do is suturing the wound, and for most funeral directors, that’s basically it.

However, these were far from enough for Xiao Ran. With needle and thread in hand, Xiao Ran moved extremely quickly, and even the damaged tendons were sutured and repaired by him.

As the saying goes, "The dead are the dead", these two are indeed miserable. Not only did they die tragically, but now their reputations are also terrible.

Therefore, Xiao Ran did not say a word while he was stitching, which fully took into account the emotions of the two deceased. At least the souls of the man and the woman stood by and watched quietly, not daring to say a word. They even looked at Xiao Ran with some gratitude when they saw Xiao Ran helping the man to stitch up the broken corpus cavernosum.

His extraordinary suturing skills were enough to astonish the teachers in the medical school. It was not an exaggeration to say that the only difference between Xiao Ran and those doctors who were proficient in suturing was a qualification certificate.

As soon as Xiao Ran finished stitching the man, he came over immediately. He wanted to use a magnifying glass to observe his body, with unspeakable joy on his face. Being able to be repaired to such an extent was already beyond the man's expectations.

Xiao Ran covered the man's body with a white cloth, turned around and began to sew up the woman.

But just as the needle and thread in his hand pierced into the woman's body, suddenly the soul of the woman in the corner screamed in pain: "It hurts!!"

Xiao Ran was startled, and looked at the woman's soul suspiciously.
He tentatively used the suture needle in his hand to prick the woman's skin. This time the woman screamed even louder. Her soul trembled violently, and her hands tightly covered the place where Xiao Ran had just pricked her with the needle.

"Your soul has already left your body, so it's impossible for you to feel pain, right?"

“It hurts. It really hurts.”

The woman shook her head and looked at Xiao Ran nervously.

This was the first time Xiao Ran encountered such a situation. He looked at the woman's soul and then at her body.

Make sure there is no connection between the two.

"In that case, let's stop here today and sew it up tomorrow."

After all, she was a client, and Xiao Ran didn't want to sew her up like this. He simply planned to keep the woman's body for now and go back to ask the old man what was going on.

But as soon as Xiao Ran said this, the woman's face suddenly turned ugly, staring at Xiao Ran with her eyes straight: "Why? Why do you sew him first and ignore me? Is it because their family pays more?!"

Hearing the woman's words, Xiao Ran frowned, took out the [Evil Suppression Order] calmly, and asked, "What if I don't plan to sew you up?"

"you wanna die!"

When the woman heard what Xiao Ran said, her whole face twisted and she opened her hands to strangle Xiao Ran's throat.

But Xiao Ran slapped the woman with his backhand, and his palm wrapped with the [God-Locking Whip] slapped directly on the woman's face, making a dull and heavy sound, and knocked the woman's soul to the ground.

Xiao Ran was too lazy to even use the [Evil Suppression Order] to suppress this kind of ghost. What Xiao Ran didn't expect was that at the moment he slapped the woman away, he suddenly felt his whole body sink, and then the surrounding void seemed to twist. Before Xiao Ran could make any move, his eyes suddenly blurred. In a trance, he saw that the woman was standing in front of him like a giant, with a huge hole in her abdomen, like a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing Xiao Ran directly.

When he looked clearly, he found himself inside the belly of the woman's corpse.

There seemed to be a layer of membrane around him. Xiao Ran tried to use Qinggong to jump out, but was blocked by the membrane.

At the same time, the woman was seen standing outside with a sneaky and ferocious smile on her face. She picked up the suture needle and began to sew up the corpse bit by bit, intending to sew herself into the stomach.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran immediately took out the [Evil-Suppressing Order] and held it in his hand.

Along with the dark red spell pattern, [Evil-Suppression Order·Corpse Collector] was activated.

"Privilege 1: Suppress evil!"

I saw a red light flashing on the [Evil-Suppressing Order] and shining it at the female corpse.

"what!!"

However, the female corpse only let out a scream and was not suppressed by the [Evil-Suppressing Order].

This could not help but surprise Xiao Ran. Although the [Evil-Suppressing Order] was currently only an E-level curse, after being integrated with the corpse-collector's curse pattern, Xiao Ran could easily suppress even the ominous effects caused by a D-level corpse. The woman in front of him was just an ordinary person. Even if something ominous happened, she should not be unaffected by the [Evil-Suppressing Order].

"so……"

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and quickly guessed the reason: "That guy took action."

There are many ways to perform a curse, and this time, the opponent was obviously using a corpse to perform a curse. Such a method is simply unheard of.

It can be seen that this person's attainments in the art of mischief have probably reached an extraordinary level.

As if to confirm Xiao Ran's guess, the man's voice was heard again: "I told you, you won't be lucky forever. Go and enjoy the suffering of reincarnation in advance..."

The sound gradually faded away and finally disappeared completely.

Xiao Ran, on the other hand, showed a cold smile on his face. He had already figured out the other party's method in his heart. "It seems that the cause of death of this couple was probably not that simple from the beginning."

Since the other party knew where my home was, he must have investigated me thoroughly. I had dodged the last door-opening attack, and he hasn't made any move during this period. I'm afraid his purpose was for this day.

"But I'm not afraid of you taking action, I'm just afraid of you not taking action."

If I am not prepared, it would not be easy to escape from the belly of the female corpse.

But the other party probably didn't expect that Xiao Ran had already made preparations long ago, just waiting for him to take action so as to reveal his true colors.

He casually took out the [Taishan Stone] from the space and held it in his hand. However, this thing was not a cursed object, and Xiao Ran didn't know how to use it, so he simply smashed it at the female corpse under his feet.

"boom!!"

As the [Taishan Stone] fell on the flesh of the female corpse, a sound similar to that of metal collision was heard.

At the same time, the woman's body began to twitch.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran immediately swung up the [Taishan Stone] and smashed it a few more times.

This time the female corpse seemed unable to bear it and let out a shrill scream. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran felt that the void around him seemed to be pulled apart by a huge force. The Taishan stone in his hand became hotter and hotter until Xiao Ran smashed it hard again.

"puff!!"

The belly that had been healing suddenly exploded, followed by a strong gravitational force that pulled Xiao Ran out.

When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, there were only two corpses in the morgue. The souls of the man and woman, as well as the strange laughter, all disappeared without a trace at this moment.

At the same time, the man who had just walked out of the funeral home shuddered violently. He turned back in disbelief and looked in the direction of the funeral home. His eyes under his hat revealed a look of doubt and uncertainty: "Impossible!!"

Suddenly, a feeling of impending disaster enveloped the man, making him feel a chill in his heart. He turned around and ran without looking back.

But Xiao Ran had waited so long for this man to take action, so how could he let him escape?

After breaking free from the aversion technique, Xiao Ran summoned the tiger and the Senbingwei to guard him, and poured all the freedom attributes he had accumulated from stitching together the beasts in the slaughterhouse last time into his mind in one breath.

With 43 points of corpse spirit reserves and the original 20 points of spirit, Xiao Ran felt for a moment that his consciousness seemed to cover the entire funeral home, as if everyone's every move in such a large funeral home was under his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran took out the [Spiritual Clothes] and the spell pattern [Horizontal Refining] and activated them together.

Privilege 1: Night Travel

Once activated, one's soul will be separated from the body and move freely in broad daylight.

Travel a hundred miles a day and ride the wind.

(Note 1: During this period, you cannot use physical attacks, but you can use magic, including cursed objects. The spirit clothing will gain a strength value equal to your own spiritual strength x3.)
As Xiao Ran had a thought, the spirit clothes quickly became plump from a shriveled state like an inflated human-shaped balloon, and the appearance was exactly the same as Xiao Ran. When Xiao Ran's consciousness was completely transferred to the spirit clothes, his body floated lightly in the air, and then his figure flashed, opened the window, and flew out towards the sky...
