Chapter 457 A Bizarre Death, an Aged Corpse
Jackson froze upon hearing his father's voice.
Fearing for his father's safety, Jackson quickly shouted a warning:
"Don't come in! Dad, don't come in!"
He lunged towards the door, blocking his father from opening it.
Jackson's father was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
He had no idea what had happened to his son in the bedroom.
At this moment, Jackson peeked through the crack in the door and asked his father repeatedly:
"Dad, did you see a monster? Is there something outside?"
Listening to Jackson's slightly neurotic tone,
Jackson's father initially thought his son was overdosing on drugs.
She hurriedly turned the doorknob, wanting to come in and check on her son:
"Jackson, what's wrong?"
"Let me in quickly! Open the door! You've scared your mother and me!"
"No! I can't..."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Jackson steeled himself.
He forcefully moved the cabinet by the door to the front of the bedroom door, blocking it.
Hearing the noise from the bedroom, Jackson's father quickly called out:
"Jackson! Open the door! What are you doing in there?"
"No... I can't open the door, it'll come in..."
Hearing Jackson's terrified voice, his parents called out anxiously:
"What are you talking about? Jackson, stop it, honey, let us in."
Hearing the shouts outside the door, Jackson nervously backed away.
At that moment, he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Just then, Jackson felt a chill run down his spine.
And from the wardrobe behind him, a hideous demon slowly emerged!
Before Jackson could turn around, the demon let out a low growl and suddenly leaped out of the closet!
The demon's hand pressed down on the back of Jackson's head.
They pushed him directly toward the bedroom door.
At this moment, Jackson opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out.
Meanwhile, Jackson's parents outside the door seemed to hear some strange noises.
They twisted the doorknob forcefully, trying to open the door.
Meanwhile, Jackson in the bedroom,
They were lifted into the air as if they had lost gravity.
He could clearly feel a strong gust of wind blowing in his face.
The wind seemed to be blowing him away.
The next second, Jackson's body began to fold.
The whole person felt as if they had been hit by a speeding truck.
Both legs began to fracture out of thin air, and his face was scraped and mangled by glass shards that appeared out of nowhere!
Immediately afterwards, Jackson's right hand split in two.
The left hand was broken into several pieces, forming an inverted bow shape.
At this moment, after some effort, Jackson's father finally pushed open the bedroom door.
And coincidentally, they witnessed an even more cruel scene!
Jackson, suspended in mid-air, had his ribs broken off one by one and protruding from his body!
His entire body transformed into a bloody, mangled corpse out of thin air.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
"My God—!"
Jackson's mother covered her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Jackson's father was also stunned.
My son was perfectly fine in his bedroom, how did he end up like this?
At the same time, Li Yuan followed Harold and Devin to the police station's morgue.
Soon, the police officers in charge of the morgue...
Based on the records, they found the refrigerated cabinet where Devon's niece's body was kept.
"Splash—"
The moment the freezer was opened, a blast of cold air hit you.
Inside the refrigerated cabinet was a black body bag.
The police officers stepped forward and pulled open the body bag, revealing an elderly-looking corpse inside.
"It's her."
After verifying their identities, the police officers put away the documents.
Then he reminded Harold and Devin:
You only have 10 minutes, don't take too long.
We already took a huge risk by not performing an autopsy immediately.
Devin nodded to the officer and said softly:
"Thank you, we'll finish as soon as possible."
Harold, standing to the side, already had bloodshot eyes.
Looking at his daughter's aged body, he said sadly:
"How could this be a simple accidental death?"
Yesterday, the forensic examiner determined through dental examination that my daughter's body was 70 years old!
Li Yuan nodded and instantly activated [Sensing Evil Creatures]!
Under the observation of the skill, several wisps of black gas suddenly appeared on the old corpse.
Seeing this, Li Yuan frowned and said softly:
"It looks...like a curse. This is definitely not an ordinary accidental death."
Li Yuan paused, looked at Harold who was filled with anger, and asked softly:
Have you offended anyone recently?
Harold was taken aback by what he heard, and said somewhat uncertainly:
"Well... it's inevitable to offend some people in business, but none of them are mortal enemies..."
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Devin added from the side:
"In business, we do encounter some conflicts with our competitors."
But that's only in business terms.
It's rare for hatred to escalate to the point of wanting to kill someone.
Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
He looked at Harold and then offered his advice:
"Then you'll have to investigate the people around your daughter."
For example, her boyfriend, best friend, or other friends.
Anyone enjoy playing psychic games, spirit summoning rituals, or other horror games?
These children love seeking thrills, perhaps they accidentally stepped on some taboo.
Li Yuan gazed at the corpse lying in the body bag and sighed softly.
In fact, if it were a natural death, Li Yuan could also revive her.
However, the state of this corpse at this moment...
He had become an old man, frail and nearing the end of his life.
Even if Li Yuan revives her, he cannot bring her back to her youth.
For her, that might be worse than death.
Harold nodded seriously after hearing Li Yuan's reminder:
"I'll go find out what happened from the police right now; they should have a detailed statement."
Then, he sighed softly and said to Li Yuan:
"If it really was an accident caused by my own recklessness, then I'll give up on it."
Li Yuan gave a noncommittal "hmm," in his opinion, this was highly likely.
He glanced down at the time and said to Harold:
"Harold, I'm going back to the office now."
Contact me after you've gathered the information from the police.
"Okay, Mr. Li Yuan, thank you very much for coming to help."
With that, Harold shook hands with Li Yuan with great gratitude.
"It's nothing, Harold, I wasn't much of a help."
At this moment, Devin spoke up from the side:
"I'll see you off, Your Excellency!"
"Okay, let's go."
Devin and Harold exchanged a glance and nodded.
He then led Li Yuan out of the morgue.
Harold then made phone calls to try and access the police records and documents from yesterday.
After getting into the car, Li Yuan said with a hint of helplessness:
"If Harold's daughter had joined the Holy Light Cult sooner, this wouldn't have happened."
Devin sighed upon hearing this and said softly:
"Perhaps this is fate; she was supposed to go to you today to receive your blessing."
Hearing what Devin said, Li Yuan could only sigh inwardly.
After a moment of silence, Devin started the car and drove towards Li Yuan's office.
Meanwhile, the three Alessa sisters, who have arrived at the school, also begin searching for the girl they met yesterday.
