The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 303: The End and the Arrival of "Blood Rebirth" (Revised Edition)
The remaining yin energy gradually dissipated.

The red-eyed bat revealed itself.

Upon returning to the human world, it automatically reverted from its half-human, half-bat state back to its bat form. After flying around the room a few times, it landed on the table beside Li Zhen and let out a burp, seemingly because it had eaten too much.

If you look closely, you can indeed see something wriggling under the skin of the red-eyed bat.

This is naturally the incompletely digested ghosts struggling inside the red-eyed bat's body.

Compared to before going to the underworld, only one ghost face appeared on the back of the red-eyed bat's neck. Now there are two ghost faces, which may have been formed by the illusionary female ghost that Li Zhen fed to the red-eyed bat.

Who knows how many more ghostly faces those subsequent ghostly creatures might form behind the red-eyed bat?

This is actually not the most important thing.

Li Zhen sensed that the red-eyed bats were about to undergo another evolution.

He was somewhat looking forward to the changes that the next evolution of red-eyed bats would bring.

Compared to himself and the powerful Corpse Demon, if the Red-Eyed Bat doesn't get stronger, it will fall behind and might not be able to help him in the final tribulation.

At that moment, the dried-up piece of flesh that the man who claimed to be the manager had given Li Zhen rolled out of the yin energy and landed right at Li Zhen's feet.

A few moments later, some ghostly fetuses appeared and ran out of the yin energy with strange cries. They grabbed the piece of dried flesh with their tentacles and opened their mouths to bite it.

Li Zhen stopped the ghost fetus from eating the chunk of meat directly. Instead, he tore off a small piece and fed it to the ghost fetus and the restless red-eyed bat.

The red-eyed bat, already stuffed, barely managed to swallow the small piece of dried meat.

It can be seen that the piece of meat was equally attractive to it.

The piece of meat held in Li Zhen's hand was extremely strange. Even after arriving in the human world, it continued to emit an eerie aura. Naturally, Li Zhen could not allow the ghost fetus to eat it directly.

Let's feed the fetus and the red-eyed bat some first and see what happens. If anything unusual happens, we can control it.

Moreover, the owner of this flesh and blood was of unfathomable realm, and Li Zhen also wanted to keep some for research.

After calming down the ghost fetus and the red-eyed bat, Li Zhen looked again at Huang Yongfa and the terrified Jiang Xue.

Although we haven't had time to examine the specific changes in the red-eyed bats and the ghost fetus, there's no doubt that both have become more terrifying than before.

Huang Yongfa said, "If it's not difficult, then it's troublesome."

This naturally means he wants to meet his mother and find an answer to his question that has been lingering for so many years.

With Li Zhen's current magical power, summoning a ghost from the underworld would be effortless, provided there were no obstacles in the underworld and the ghost existed.

Li Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, lit a talisman, chanted incantations for a while, and completed the ritual step by step, thus summoning Huang Yongfa's mother back from the underworld.

When the ghost appeared, it was still in a daze. Under Li Zhen's spell, it gradually regained its senses, and its gaze shifted, meeting the complex expression of Huang Yongfa.

Li Zhen said, "She can stay here for about ten minutes. Say whatever you want to say."

Huang Yongfa opened his mouth, but after a long while, he finally managed to say his first words to his mother: "Are you alright?"

……

Half an hour later, Li Zhen, whose face was slightly pale, walked out of Huang Yongfa's house.

He was carrying a bag in his hand, which naturally contained that clump of dried meat.

The banshee and the corpse demon followed closely behind Li Zhen.

The restless little devil was stuffed into the basket on the back of the female demon by Li Zhen.

The red-eyed bat, now noticeably larger, clung to Li Zhen's shoulder.

The booklet the manager gave him contained a method to make up for the lifespan of the female ghost Jiang Xue in her next life, which used Li Zhen's own lifespan and was not difficult to perform.

The fact that a portion of his lifespan was extracted in an instant made Li Zhen feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although his lifespan was short, Li Zhen felt as if he had been drained, and even his thoughts became somewhat muddled.

It's best to avoid using methods that involve one's own lifespan...

Of course, Detective Li did ask for payment.

Li Zhen rubbed his temples and glanced back at the window.

Huang Yongfa, who was standing by the window, waved to Li Zhen.

Detective Li nodded in response.

Turn around.

I glanced at the sky.

Li Zhen once again sensed a shift in cause and effect and destiny.

At the time of "The Haunted Cop Shop", the idea of ​​changing one's fate, as well as the cause and effect and luck involved, was just a fleeting feeling.

However, this time Li Zhen vaguely sensed the influence of fate and karma on him.

Although he didn't know how much impact his actions would have on the future, after leaving a backup plan for Huang Yongfa, Li Zhen felt a sense of fulfillment as if a certain deficiency in his heart had been completely filled.

Undoubtedly, this is beneficial to him.

Will we ever see Huang Yongfa again in the future?

Li Zhen tapped his head and strode away.

If I have the chance, I should seriously study Wu Qiyuan's destiny and the principles of fate...

The Demon of Fate has already laid a very strong foundation for him.

Wu Qiyuan's stuff shouldn't be too difficult for him.

The dried-up lump of flesh he was holding was still emanating a sinister aura.

A thin layer of yin energy enveloped Li Zhen, making his figure increasingly hazy and mysterious.

Li Zhen noticed that all the ghosts around him were moving in his direction.

As Li Zhen walked down a dark street, he was about to order the red-eyed bats to deal with the ghosts that had caught up with him when he suddenly saw two figures, one black and one white, appear in his line of sight.

His dark complexion was cold and hard.

Bai Yin smiled amicably at Li Zhen: "We'll deal with those ghosts; they'll be a good way to fill the gaps in the underworld's ghost population. You'd better find a way to seal what you have, otherwise you never know what might be drawn to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Hei Yinchai appeared a few meters away in a flash. With another step, they passed through the wall in front of them and disappeared from Li Zhen's sight.

Detective Li held down the red-eyed bat that wanted to fight over the ghost.

The red-eyed bats devoured many ghosts in the underworld, causing some impact on it.

This must be the reason why these two underworld messengers came to the human world to capture ghosts.

At this point, it would seem rather immoral to try and steal the ghost from them.

If the underworld here is very hostile to him, and he can leave at any time after completing his mission, Li Zhen would naturally not refrain from letting the red-eyed bats devour more ghosts.

But since others greeted him with smiles, he wasn't a greedy person.

Carrying the lump of flesh and blood, Li Zhen continued walking deeper into the street.

Several more underworld messengers, dressed differently, appeared in front of Li Zhen. After glancing at Li Zhen curiously for a few moments, they went to catch the evil spirits.

Although the underworld doesn't show off, it's actually quite powerful.

In such an environment, it would be extremely difficult to risk going to the underworld...

Upon reaching the depths of the street and finding no ghosts chasing after them or any underworld messengers approaching, Li Zhen stuffed the red-eyed bat into the basket on the back of the corpse demon.

He glanced at the runes on his right arm, then vanished from the spot. This time, he didn't return directly to the original world, but instead arrived in a new mission world.

For some reason, the runes seemed to be getting more and more urgent, and the frequency of the tasks assigned to Li Zhen was also increasing.

Normally, after completing a mission, he would be sent back to his original world to rest for a while.

However, since his strength has grown stronger, he has basically been prevented from returning to his original world to catch his breath.

But Li Zhen didn't feel any aversion.

The more mission worlds he experiences, the more he gains, and the closer he gets to the truth...

After his vision cleared again, Li Zhen found himself standing on a bustling street.

It was daytime.

Although there was no sun in the sky, the air was hot and humid.

The men and women passing by were all wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts with a distinct Southeast Asian style.

The buildings on both sides of the street are also wooden structures with a strong Southeast Asian flavor.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Zhen naturally knew that he had come to Southeast Asia from Hong Kong Island.

However, judging from the clothing and appearance of the people around, this is not Nanyang in the last century, but Nanyang two thousand years later.

What movie is this related to?
Detective Li was somewhat curious.

Seeing the crowd ahead pushing towards a certain spot, he also led the banshee and the corpse demon forward.

The person who summoned him this time is in this direction.

A car drove through the middle of the street.

A large crowd of onlookers enthusiastically surrounded the car.

Li Zhen initially thought these people were looking at a celebrity, but when he saw the person in the car clearly, he realized that it wasn't a celebrity sitting inside, but a middle-aged man wearing a flower wreath.

Although he had no recollection of this person, judging from his demeanor, Li Zhen deduced that he might be a local political figure or an important person in the business world.

This person was the one who summoned him.

Li Zhen, who was a complete stranger to this person, naturally had no way of knowing what kind of world this was.

He had the corpse demon and the banshee clear a path, then retreated to the side of the road and looked at the runes on his right arm.

As a political figure, Naimi implemented many policies that benefited the local people, winning their hearts but also offending many. Lately, he has been feeling uneasy, sensing that someone wants to harm him, but he doesn't know how. This is causing him great anxiety.

Good deeds should not be undone by evil curses. Please investigate who is trying to harm him and protect him from the evil curse cast by the mastermind.

Upon seeing this name, Li Zhen recalled Nai Mi, one of the Ten Great Evil Curses.

These are obviously people with the same name, but they can't be the same person.

This is Southeast Asia, and the fact that this trip involves black magic is not surprising to Li Zhen at all.

To his dismay, despite the considerable amount of useful information contained in the mission description, he still couldn't determine which world this was based on it.

Rubbing his temples, Li Zhen looked up and glanced at the man in the car and the bodyguards around him. Suddenly, he had a feeling and turned his gaze to a man opposite him.

He was a young man with very distinctive features; once you saw him, you wouldn't forget his face.

The moment Li Zhen saw that face, he was reminded of a Hong Kong star named Tao Dayu who had appeared in many movies and TV series. Although he hadn't become a huge star, he was still quite famous.

This person's face bears a striking resemblance to Tao Dayu, about seven or eight points.

This face stood out so much among the many Southeast Asians that it instantly caught Li Zhen's attention.

More importantly, Li Zhen sensed a strong malice from the other party.

Li Zhen's gaze also caught the other party's attention.

The other person turned their head and met Li Zhen's gaze across the crowd.

It's unclear what they thought of or sensed, but their expression changed slightly, and they turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

Looking in the direction where the other person disappeared, Li Zhen's face showed a thoughtful expression.

When it comes to horror movies related to this face, Li Zhen can only think of one.

The mass of flesh he held in his hand constantly emitted a chilling aura, making everyone around him feel uncomfortable.

The Corpse Demon was also emanating a faint but palpable ferocity, and if it lingered for even a moment, it would form a circle that made people afraid to approach.

Those who passed by avoided Li Zhen and the Corpse Demon.

First, I need to figure out how to deal with the piece of meat I have...

After sending the demon fetus out, Li Zhen glanced at the car that had disappeared into the crowd and continued to retreat.

He pushed until he reached a secluded spot under a palm tree, placed the flesh and blood on a rock, cast a simple seal, and then placed the flesh and blood behind the corpse demon.

The red-eyed bat that he had stuffed there was naturally moved behind the banshee and squeezed together with the demon fetus.

After consuming some pieces of flesh from the underworld administrators, the ghost fetus became much more lucid. It wouldn't have been so quiet if Li Zhen hadn't been suppressing it.

The sealing technique used by Li Zhen was very simple. It could not completely seal the strange aura emanating from the piece of flesh, but only reduce the strange aura it emitted.

He originally planned to find a way to seal the flesh as soon as he arrived in the new mission world, but now it seems that the sealing will have to be postponed for some time.

The most important thing now is to figure out what kind of world this is, in order to avoid mission failure.

Less than ten minutes later, the demonic fetus returned to Li Zhen's side and reported, "I remembered that person's scent, but I lost him. As you said, I didn't continue chasing him; instead, I turned around and chased after that car."

"There were too many people there, so I didn't go near it, but I know where that car was parked."

Li Zhen nodded: "Well done, take me there."

Led by the demon fetus, Li Zhen, accompanied by the banshee and the corpse demon, traversed the streets and alleys until they arrived at a luxurious hotel.

The demonic fetus blinded the security guard outside the hotel, rendering him "blind with his eyes open."

Detective Li walked into the hotel with an air of nonchalance.

After passing the front desk, the demon sniffed and led Li Zhen into the guest room area.

Suddenly, a shout rang out behind him. It seemed to be directed at Li Zhen, but it was in Nanyang language, and Li Zhen didn't know what the other person was saying.

He turned his head and glanced at it.

A woman in uniform jogged up to us, talking the whole time.

Even if he couldn't understand what the other person was saying, Li Zhen could tell from their expression what they wanted to say: they wanted to know his identity and why he was there.

The demonic fetus that appeared on the back of the woman's neck chuckled and covered her eyes with its hands.

The woman's expression immediately became confused, as if she had forgotten what she was supposed to do.

She did not recover even after the demonic fetus jumped off her body.

Led by the demon fetus, Li Zhen arrived at a luxuriously decorated suite.

Two bodyguards stood in front of the suite's door.

Although the bodyguards carried some magical artifacts to ward off evil spirits, they were unable to protect themselves from the demonic fetus and all became "blind with open eyes."

After straightening his clothes, Li Zhen knocked on the door.
