Chapter 71 Nighttime Investigation of the Lake (Part 9)

Only in the last large cell were there a dozen or so iron hooks hanging from each other, with a skeleton hanging from each hook.

The nearest skull had some black, decaying flesh hanging from its bones, covered with flies.

In the corner, on two stainless steel cutting boards, there were several pieces of cut black meat, full of high-protein.

"Tick!"

Even after so much time has passed, black blood is still dripping from the edge of the cutting board into the water-filled groove on the floor.

There were also many bones piled up in the corner. Su Yixuan pinched her nose and examined them carefully, and found many bite marks.

The teeth were neat, and the tooth marks were small, so they didn't look like they were left by a wild animal.

Silver Chain frowned uncomfortably: "Sister Xuan, are cannibals living here?"

"Call me Grandmaster Uncle!"

Silver Chain: "...Grandmaster Uncle!"

"good!"

Su Yixuan then replied, "The creatures living here are even more terrifying than cannibals. They look like humans, but they actually eat people."

Suddenly, a foul gust of wind blew by, and Su Yixuan dodged to the side. Turning her head, she saw that the mummified corpse was already locked in a fierce battle with the silver chain.

The mummies trapped in the railings were also restless.

"Bang! Bang!"

As the iron fence was trampled underfoot, the ragged, mummified corpses all rushed towards Su Yixuan.

Their craving for fresh flesh and blood excited them immensely.

Su Yixuan raised her hand and several talismans flew out, freezing the dried corpse in place and allowing her to dodge the sneak attack from behind.

After another burst of attacks, the mummified corpse finally quieted down.

Silver Chain looked at Su Yixuan in confusion: "Master, Grand Uncle, they can't be killed!"

Su Yixuan nodded and examined the mummified corpse from head to toe: "This is the first time I've ever seen this thing. I've mostly seen mountain spirits and monsters before, and I've only ever heard of things like this. However, it's too weak in combat, so it's probably an experimental subject that was abandoned here."

"You mean, these are all raised by humans?"

"Of course, these women were tortured half to death up there and left to die after they were no longer of any use. They were then reused by someone who turned them into these things. I guess he probably took away a half-finished product!"

"why?"

Su Yixuan pointed at the mummies: "They all wore name tags on their feet. The four beauties, besides Bai Luyu, also include Jin Lanzhi and Cui Hongpao. They are all here, but E Jiaoxing is missing. Where do you think her body went?"

Silver Chain pointed to the hooks: "Could they be hanging on there?"

"No, those are obviously men."

"What should we do with these?"

Su Yixuan stroked her chin: "Cut off their heads or destroy their brains."

"Will it work? It won't come back to life, will it?"

"No, those corpses piled up in the corner are very well-behaved, they don't show any signs of coming back to life."

Silver Chain silently took out several small throwing knives made of scales, but ultimately spared their heads.

After disposing of the mummified corpse, Su Yixuan removed all the talismans to destroy the evidence.

The little fox, still unwilling to give up, crawled towards the hole in the wall, crying out, "I want gold, I want a body, I want a soft body, fluffy fox fur."

Su Yixuan, carrying the lame little fox, crawled towards the cave exit: "Ill-gotten gains are not to be taken. Do you not want your body to be covered in sores on your head and oozing pus from your feet in the future?" The frantically struggling little fox stiffened: "Little Xuanxuan, lying to an old person will get you struck by lightning!"

"Lie to you?"

Su Yixuan let go of the little fox, which fell to the ground with a "plop": "Go get the gold! This is all the flesh and blood of those girls. If you don't mind that this flesh and blood is on your body, then go ahead and take it! As long as you dare to take it, I dare to make a body for you. At worst, the King of Hell will hold you accountable for these sins. Anyway, you don't care!"

The little fox jumped up and said, "I am a member of the upright, kind, brave and strong white fox clan. Aren't you making me bring shame to our clan?"

"But you need a soft, fluffy body and fluffy fox fur! These cost money, lots and lots of gold."

"We still can't use this gold, I don't want it!"

Su Yixuan asked with a smile, "Really don't want it?"

The little fox reluctantly turned back to look at the glimpse of golden light peeking out from the iceberg: "No, I mean it! A fox must have backbone!"

Su Yixuan mentioned the little fox and smiled at Yinlian.

As they emerged from the tree hollow, they ran into their elder brother, Su Shaoan, who was leading a group of people in a search.

Su Yixuan tossed the little fox to the silver chain: "Keep an eye on it, don't let it cause any more trouble!"

Upon seeing Su Yixuan, Su Shaoan hurried over: "Xuanxuan, you were so busy until so late yesterday, why didn't you go home to sleep? Why did you come here to explore in the middle of the night? Should I admire your dedication or criticize you for not taking care of yourself?"

Su Yixuan laughed and said, "You should praise me for being dedicated!"

Su Shaoan couldn't help but shake his head and tap her forehead: "Tell me! What did you find this time?"

“Gold bricks, an entire wall of gold bricks.”

"BRICS?"

Su Shaoan frowned: "I've checked the files here. It's impossible that my colleagues didn't find something so important during their thorough search. Where did you find it?"

Su Yixuan pointed to the hidden tree hole and whispered, "It's right there. Besides a wall of gold bricks, there's a pile of corpses. My little fox was being naughty and accidentally fell into the tree hole, which is how he discovered the secret. You can decide what to do with it! Of course, I have some requirements."

"any request?"

"When you closed the case, did you say that the murderer was dismembered by his enemy and hung on the door beam, and that the enemy had been brought to justice?"

"Yes, the murderer has been caught. He's a prep cook in the kitchen. He killed his boss because he was unhappy with his unpaid wages. The evidence is there, and he's signed and fingerprinted. Is there a problem with that?"

"Of course there's a problem! The body that was dismembered wasn't the owner of this place at all; it was just a lecherous customer. This isn't some kind of rural guesthouse; people come here for more than just a meal!"

"Impossible! It's clearly recorded in the files."

Su Yixuan interrupted with a cold laugh: "Perhaps your former boss was also a regular here and helped cheat. Otherwise, why is there no mention of where those missing people went in the files?"

"this!"

"There's no point in saying all this now. Just get someone to carry the bodies out, and the truth will come out!"

Su Shaoan put aside his unease and arranged for people to prepare tools to go down into the tree hole.

Soon, the small courtyard was filled with corpses covered with white sheets.

Because the magic was dispelled, the mummified corpse instantly rotted and decomposed, and you can imagine the stench.

Su Yixuan pointed to the dirty name tag and asked Su Shaoan, "Go back and check if these people are in your missing persons file?"

Su Shaoan was horrified by the sight of the corpses scattered on the ground. He couldn't imagine why they had been abandoned in this desolate tree hollow: "I'll investigate!"

"Yes, investigate thoroughly! I accidentally leaked this information during my live stream just now, and now the entire internet is waiting for the follow-up to this matter. We must handle this matter impartially."
