I discovered a world bug.

escape!

The moment Li Yu saw that withered figure, all the pitiful ambitions in his heart vanished instantly.

Memories of his childhood overwhelmed him like a flood.

At this moment, what he saw seemed not to be an ordinary dried corpse, but a collection of all those cold, dark, and terrifying memories.

Dim lighting, a cold bed, and a coffin hanging overhead, directly in front of his head.

Every night, whenever I lie down on the coffin, my heart beats violently and uncontrollably, and my blood surges so much that I feel nauseous to the point of vomiting.

No matter how much he begged, his master always locked the door and never allowed him to escape.

He said it was to toughen himself up and to adapt to Ba De Xiong and everything that Little Horns had to face.

How can someone who is afraid of even corpses become Ba Daixiong?

This seemed to make a lot of sense—and gradually, I accepted this explanation.

However, during the more than ten years he slept under the coffin, he never truly "closed his eyes".

Occasionally, rats would scurry across the roof beams and sharpen their claws on the coffins, making a sickening scraping sound.

I always wake up with a start, and then jump up as if by conditioned reflex.

When I am not fully conscious or have poor vision, I always see hallucinations.

On several occasions, he mistook the straw raincoat hanging on the wall for a giant insect crawling out of a coffin, which frightened him so much that he fainted and even lost control of his bladder.

But the master never opened the door once; he never even glanced at him.

Often, it is only after daybreak that I wake up from my dizziness and fear.

As the days went by, I began to get used to being "frightened".

He even thought that he was no longer afraid of so-called dried corpses.

Until his master died.

Until the coffin containing the mummified corpse was opened.

I was so terrified that I almost lost my mind and fled from this nightmare at all costs.

He thought that after escaping, he would never be bound by anything again, but he never expected that fate would force him back to this little house.

They even had to confront the dried-up corpse.

Kun Corpse!

Li Yu's body trembled violently. His reason told him that he had to find a way to control the dried corpse in order to give himself a chance to survive.

But his instincts urged him to run, to escape this shadow of death that seemed to solidify into reality.

He was still hesitating, but the Kun corpse had already moved.

It doesn't twitch stiffly like the zombies depicted in movies.

It took a slow step, like a hunched old man.

His arm slowly extended, pointing towards Li Yu.

When Li Yu looked up, she saw the dried corpse's face with its skin peeled away like paper, and the muscles beneath it like hemp ropes...

"Oh......"

A muffled noise came from the corpse's throat.

In the moment of utter despair, Li Yu's will suddenly rebounded.

"Heaven is vast, earth is vast, heaven is divine, earth is divine! Today, an iron fortress is erected, invisible from all directions, a copper wall and iron barrier ten thousand feet deep, where evil sorcerers cannot stand, and no magic can penetrate its body!"

Li Yu bit her finger and quickly drew a talisman in the air, chanting the "Iron Enclosure Spell".

He wasn't sure if the spell would work—what if it did?

If the Kun Corpse has come true, why can't the Iron City Curse come true?

And the answer is...

No.

Kun Shi strode up to Li Yu, and he could barely see how the corpse moved.

By the time he realized what was happening, the face was almost right in front of his.

In a daze, he hallucinated once again.

That doesn't seem to be the face of the Kun Corpse.

That was his master, his father, his mother...

That face was made up of many faces I had seen after they died...

"ah!!!!"

Li Yu let out a strange cry and turned to run away.

He completely broke down.

Controlling the Corpse Kun?

Do not!

I want to live!!

.......

the other side.

Lin Shu was sitting in the living room with the air conditioning on at its coolest setting, slowly sorting through the documents left behind by Xu Changshun.

When he first saw them, he felt that the contents of these documents were all-encompassing and could almost construct a brand new worldview related to "rituals".

At that time, the impact of new things made him overlook many problems in the documents, and he only cared about picking out a few meaningful "treasures" from the obscure and messy content.

But now, after browsing through the documents and starting to systematically read and study them, he discovered that the problems with these records far exceeded his expectations.

The most pressing issue is the "experimental method".

When Xu Changshun was exploring and researching rituals, he had almost no complete and stable methodology to guide him. His experimental methods were arbitrary, changing from one thing to another.

Although he recorded the experimental process and results in great detail, using highly academic terminology, beneath the professional facade lay the essentially "mostly useless" content...

In addition, Xu Changshun's records of rituals are often obscure.

He was like a learned mathematician who would skip over difficult problems and simply write "omitted" when encountering easy ones, without considering the reading experience of other readers.

Lin Shu had to rely on the numerous ancient books and reference books he left behind to verify and supplement the information bit by bit.

It took him an entire morning to complete less than one-twentieth of the content.

----That's even considered fast!

Without the reference books he left behind, and instead having to start from scratch to find other reference materials, it would probably take three to five years to fully organize the legacy he left behind...

Rubbing her slightly sore eyes, Lin Shu shook her head heavily.

tired.

too tired.

Isn't this much more tiring than going to work?!

With a sigh, Lin Shu picked up the phone that Li Yu had left behind, which was placed to the side.

I opened the airplane chat group and scrolled up the remaining chat history. The content was still whimsical and lacked any substantial content.

The man who claimed to be setting up the "Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Ghost" formation is still posting "GG collect corpses" messages, claiming to have ample funds, but few people are responding.

What he wants is already difficult to obtain, and this matter is extremely risky. Who would be willing to get involved in such a mess?

Lin Shu smiled sarcastically, then left the public group and opened the chat interface with the client.

There has still been no reply.

We can't just keep waiting like this...

If we just keep dragging this out, when will we be able to lure him out?

Or, should we ask Li Yu?

After all, he was the one who took on the order, and he communicated more with the client, so he probably knew some details that I hadn't been exposed to.

As for whether he's willing to help or not...

joke.

His own snake could bite him at any moment, so how could he dare not help?

Thinking of this, Lin Shu picked up her phone.

This phone has Li Yu's number saved. If I call him, he probably won't dare not answer...

The screen unlocked, and Lin Shu was stunned.

A series of missed calls, all from Li Yu.

There are two more text messages.

Lin Shu opened the text message and took a look...

"The Kun Corpse is here! It's really alive!!"

"Help me! Help me!!"

What the hell!

Lin Shuteng stood up abruptly and immediately dialed the number back.

But by then, there was no answer on the other end...

He... is dead?!

This person once tried to kill me; he truly deserved to die.

To die like that, and to want to ask for help from oneself even in the final moments... that feeling...

Lin Shu's expression was complicated, and just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar female voice came from outside the door.

"Lin Shu, open the door!"

"This is Chen Zhu. There's an important development in the case that I need to confirm with you!"
