Chapter 68: The Divine Crow Society's Drum (Part 1)

  The wind quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, a handful of mud fell into the blood water, and had already been dyed red.

  Zou Chengyi no longer shed tears, but looked at the mud in the blood, trembling as he reached out to gently grasp a handful, then quickly gathered the mud on the ground, putting all the mud together.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his movements with some unbearable feelings. Zou Chengyi had already taken a step ahead, saying: "Is there a box? A box?"

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly pulled out an empty box from his backpack. They had brought quite a few storage boxes, after all, they were here to find dan medicine, and were afraid that the dan medicine would spill. Unexpectedly, there were only a few pills in total.

  Zou Chengyi took over the box and put all the mud on the ground into it, not leaving a single bit behind. Then he carefully closed the lid of the box and held it in front of his eyes to examine it.

  "Wait until he has finished collecting everything, then softly said: 'Let's go, first out of the tomb.'"

  Everyone did not expect Zou Chengyi to suddenly calm down, now it is indeed right to come out of the grave first.

  Zou Chengyi's wheelchair was broken, previously Xi Feng always carried him on his back, now Xi Feng is gone and he didn't do anything wrong, actually everyone felt a little sad in their hearts, Zhong Jian quickly said: "I'll carry you."

  Xi Chi didn't want to see Zhong Jian leave with someone else, but she still didn't say anything.

  Wen Baiyu tugged at Wang Zijun's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Do you think that Yifeng was made of mud? Can he be remade to come back to life?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head, but didn't say a word, and it was unclear whether he didn't understand or couldn't speak.

  Xī Chí walked over from behind, speaking in a low voice: "Wēn Bái Yǔ, that's the Huǒ Lóng Jǐ (Dragon Bone Lance), you said the evil spirits consumed by Huǒ Lóng's bones could come back to life? Recreating one wouldn't be a problem."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then it's not a typhoon."

  Xī zhì shrugged and looked at Zhōu Chéngyī, who was carrying Jiǎn Bèi in front of him. "Don't you think there's a problem? If Yī Fēng were just an ordinary mud puppet, it wouldn't be considered a dark evil, and the damage from Zhuāng Lóng Jǐ would not have been so severe. Yet, with a mere glance, he turned into a puddle of blood water. How heavy must his dark evil be?"

  He said that, and Wen Baiyu also felt the same way. What exactly is this "Yi Feng" anyway? It's probably something made of mud, yet it can be quickly swallowed by Zhu Long's spear. This might require taking a look at the box in Zou Chengyi's arms to understand.

  But that thing is equivalent to the ashes of a whirlwind, now it's up to Zou Chengyi...

  Wen Baiyu touched his nose and anyway he was speechless.

  Xī Chí stroked his chin and said: "Also, this Zōu Chéng Yī has a problem."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Oh...... because Zhong Jian was carrying him."

  "Phooey! I'm not a jealous person, I have boundaries."

  He said that, and Wan Kui Jing Hou all showed a hint of a smile.

  "What do you mean! I'm talking to you seriously, and when Yi Feng died, he said that his life was given by Zou Chengyi. Isn't this a big problem? A young adult, and a disabled person at that, even if they have some family wealth as protection, how can they create an evil spirit like that? Most importantly, none of us sensed anything strange or unclean from Zou Chengyi or Yi Feng. If Yi Feng hadn't been hit by the Dragon Candle Spear, we would all still think he was a normal person. Don't you think Yi Feng hid too deeply?"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly fell silent, Xi Chi said very correctly, Yi Feng's body didn't feel any abnormal aura at all, none of these people had any feeling, if it wasn't for Zhu Long Gun exposing Yi Feng, they would definitely not know who was the one.

  As the crowd walked back, when they arrived at the tomb chamber again, they saw that the white-haired corpse was still lying on the ground. The white hair on its body had fallen off and it had turned into a withered corpse. In this short period of time, all the flesh on its body had rotted away, leaving only a skeleton.

  "Wan Baiyu said: 'Let's take him up and bury him.'"

  Everyone nodded, and Wen Baiyu began to think about how to put the skeleton on, it couldn't be that they would divide the remains and each person take a bone.

  Zhong Jian first put Zou Chengyi down, and the others started to deal with the corpse. They must have carried it out or lifted it out. It was too dangerous to carry it out. What if the corpse came into contact with the outside air and resurrected?

  Just as everyone was discussing, Zou Chengyi suddenly spoke up, looking at the box in his arms, with a faint expression, just like when he first saw Zou Chengyi, speaking slowly and steadily, reasonable and measured, looking like a young master.

  Zou Chengyi seemed to be muttering to himself, saying: "I know what you want to ask. The Yifeng is the seal on my father's coffin."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned. It was the seal mud on the coffin. No wonder Zhu Long's spear recognized it as an evil thing from the underworld.

  Zou Chengyi said faintly, "At that time, I was still very young and had no relatives. I lived alone, and I also had this inherited strange disease. Others would only show symptoms as they grew older, but I had it from a young age, and it was more severe than others. I felt a sense of despair... I wanted someone to accompany me, so at that time, I made a mud doll out of thin air."

  Zou Cheng paused for a moment, then said: "I didn't expect the mud man to really come back to life, he can talk, do things, manage the family business in an orderly manner, take care of people, and even accompany me to talk, it's like I'm not alone anymore."

  He said that and didn't continue speaking, his words lingering here.

  Wen Baiyu patted his shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him. Just then, a chill ran down the back of his neck, and a gust of wind blew over, like a ghostly breath.

  Then, with a soft "hiss", the tomb chamber suddenly darkened, and the two pots that had been burning brightly went out at once. What was even stranger was that everyone's lighting tools also went out. The flashlights didn't have flames and couldn't be blown out, but at the same time, all of their lighting tools stopped shining.

  The tomb was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

  Wen Baiyu immediately went on high alert, "Whoosh—" A burst of flames erupted from his hand, and at the same time, a burst of flames also erupted from Wan Kuang Jinghou's hand. The two balls of flame suddenly illuminated the tomb chamber. There was nothing strange inside the tomb chamber, just these people, and the corpses on the ground were still lying there, not having risen as zombies.

  Others quickly took out spare lighting tools from their backpacks and turned them on, while Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou quickly put away the flames in their hands.

  Xie Chi said: "It's really strange, who blew the fire? But we weren't ambushed either."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go out first, this is not a place to stay for long."

  He said, and the crowd nodded. They immediately searched for a way back and soon found the thief's cave. The crowd tied the skeleton with ropes and pulled it into the cave, and they quickly crawled out.

  The corpse did not come back to life, and what was already dead could not be revived. The people in the backyard also buried the bones.

  After finishing these things, everyone started their return journey. Since they came with Yi Feng driving, without Yi Feng, Zhong Jian would drive instead, and then Wen Xue and Wen Jiu Mu took turns replacing him.

  Zou Chengyi didn't say a word all the way, his face was normal, but it could be seen that from now on he would have to live alone again, and this kind of life would definitely not be easy to bear.

  They sent Zou Chengyi back to Yangzhou, and then took the train back to Jinhua. When everyone arrived home, they all felt like they had been through a near-death experience. They immediately took a bath, feeling as if they had shed their skin.

  Everyone tidied up their backpacks. Wen Baiyu saw that there was still the jade box in her backpack, which she had forgotten for a while.

  He took the box to the living room, where everyone was present. Wan Jingshou had just come out of the bath. Wen Baiyu said: "This box hasn't been opened yet. At that time, Zou Chengyi said there were dangerous things inside. Can it be opened now?"

  Xie Chi said: "I don't know what's inside either, but using this kind of bone as a box, it's probably not something good."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou picked up the box, examined it carefully, ran his hand along the edge of the box, and suddenly changed color.

  Wen Baiyu saw him with a gloomy face and said, "What's wrong?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This box has been opened by someone."

  Everyone was shocked, and Wen Baiyu said: "Impossible, wasn't it always in your backpack? How could it have been opened?"

  Wan Xi Jinghou showed them the box, which had previously been sealed shut. Now, however, there was a gap on the opening of the box, clearly indicating that it had been opened before and could not be restored to its original state.

  Wen Baiyu immediately "cracked" open the box with a loud noise, only to find it empty except for a single black feather lying quietly inside...

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened and she said: "Someone took away what was inside? And replaced it with a black feather?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's like this."

  Wen Baiyu found it hard to believe that the box, which had been on General Wan's back and hadn't left his side for a moment, could have something go missing from it, turning into a black feather.

  This black feather is the withered flesh of a person, after which the bones form blue ice crystals that grow out from the scapula, what does this represent.

  Wan Xi Jinghou suddenly said: "Do you still remember, when we were moving the corpse in the tomb, the lights in the tomb chamber suddenly went out?"

  As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent. In less than a second, Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou reacted simultaneously, and the flames all lit up. There was no movement in the tomb either.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The person who swapped the box must have been right next to us at the time, otherwise it would not have been possible to swap the box so quickly."

  "What's inside this thing, anyway? The pattern on the box is a tree, does it have something to do with trees? The person who switched the boxes has been hiding in the tomb all along, and they've been hiding deep enough that we didn't even notice."

  They were talking when a sound came from Wen Baiyu's room, her mobile phone was ringing, and she hurried over.

  When he came out of the tomb, his mobile phone was out of power and automatically shut down. After returning home and charging his phone, several text messages rushed in.

  Why can't I get through to your mobile phone?

  The seller's name is Zou Chengyi, a rising star in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, an antique dealer. However, I found out that he died two years ago. How could Old Man Huang have made a deal with a dead person? Or was someone impersonating him to make deals with Old Man Huang? But why would they impersonate a dead person to do business?

  Wen Baiyu, call me back after you see this.

  All were text messages from Yu Yang, Wen Baiyu looked at those text messages, and the three words "Zou Chengyi" that entered her eyes, already dead? Two years ago?

  Wen Baiyu suddenly had a bad feeling, Zou Cheng died two years ago, then who was the person they buried with them?

  Someone used Zou Chengyi's name to trade with Huang Laoban, and thinking about it, Zou Chengyi has appeared beside them twice. Both times they lost something, the first time was a secret of the underworld that only the Emperor of the Underworld knew, and he kept his mouth shut without telling anyone. This time, they still don't know what they've lost.

  Wen Baiyu felt that this was no longer a coincidence.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the message and didn't immediately call Yu Wei Yang back, but instead dialed Ming Di's phone.

  Mingdi picked up quickly and laughed: "Hey, Wen Baiyu, how did you think of calling me?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I want you to help me check the Book of Life and Death, is there a person named Zou Chengyi? What's his lifespan?"

  Ming Emperor was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Wen Baiyu, I'm telling you, the Book of Life and Death is an ancient divine book left behind by the gods. Not just anyone can see it, only I, the King of the Underworld, can read it. And even I cannot reveal its contents casually. You..."

  Wen Baiyu raised an eyebrow and said: "Then do the underworld soldiers and generals under your command know about you tearing up the Book of Life and Death, folding paper cranes and peach blossoms?"

  The Underworld Emperor: "......"

  The King of Hell immediately surrendered and said: "Alright, alright, I admit defeat. Let me check... what's his name? Zou something?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Zou Chengyi, the 'Cheng' of success or failure, is also the 'one' of numbers."

  A rustling sound of pages turning came from the phone, and soon the Emperor of the Underworld said: "Found it, Yang Shou sixteen years old, already two years... Oh, after he died, his body did not return to its place, always a lonely ghost, just returned a few days ago, should have reported to our side."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Really dead?"

  The Emperor of the Underworld said: "Yes, can it be fake? It's written in the Book of Life and Death."

  "Can you see the address where his remains will be returned?"

  The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said: "Are you checking the household registration?"

  He said so, but quickly checked again and said: "Hubei, near Zhushan."

  Wen Baiyu's mind buzzed as they discovered a large mansion in Zhushan, built on top of a tomb. A young person who had not yet come of age died inside the mansion, their entire body transformed into crystal bones.

  Furthermore, as Mingdi said, the skeleton had just been buried, which means they had just buried the skeleton. The original skeleton was actually Zou Chengyi. Then who is the Zou Chengyi that followed them to the grave and what's the purpose? Is it related to the switched box?

  Wen Baiyu said: "I'll ask you another question, no... I have to ask two."

  The Emperor of Hell said: "You'd better ask quickly, it's almost lunchtime and I still need to go have lunch with Little Fu."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You help me investigate this person, Yi Feng, 'Yi gives birth to wind'."

  The Emperor of the Underworld said: "This name is quite strange... what wind, there's no such person on the Book of Life and Death."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Indeed."

  The Emperor of Hell said: "And what about the second question?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I asked you, that time when we went down to the grave with you, what were you looking for?"

  The Lord of the Underworld suddenly fell silent, sighed and said: "Wen Baiyu, don't be so curious, just follow your husband's love and that's enough. There are some things I absolutely cannot say. I'm not telling you, it's also for your own good. Knowing everything thoroughly isn't a good thing."

  Wen Baiyu also fell silent for a moment before saying, "Is it related to Shu?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound. Mingdi suddenly cursed and quickly picked up the phone from the ground, saying: "How did you know?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You said that what you're looking for requires several pieces to be put together, but the person who stole it only took one useless piece, right?"

  The Dark Emperor's voice dropped a lot and said, "Yes."

  Wen Baiyu said: "That's the second one, it should be in the tomb of Guangchuan King. We got a blue bone box with a tree painted on it, but I didn't see what was inside, unfortunately it has been stolen."

  The Emperor of the Underworld fell silent for a moment, then said: "I know, I'll handle this matter. Wen Baiyu, don't investigate this anymore, it's not good for you and it's too dangerous. I don't want to make Little Fu sad."

  Wen Baiyu made a phone call and told everyone about these things. Xi Chi said: "I knew that Zou Chengyi was not simple."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go take another look at that mansion in Yangzhou."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up and said: "Let's go now."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and immediately followed Wan Qi Jinghou out the door. The two of them bought train tickets, knowing the place, and after arriving in Yangzhou, they took a taxi there.

  After getting on the car, the driver said: "How are you going to get to that place?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "One of my uncle's old friends lives there. I happened to be in Yangzhou on business, so I took the opportunity to go and see him."

  The driver said: "Oh dear, what a coincidence, that place has been empty for two years already."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Two years have passed?"

  The driver said, "Yes, that place is too eerie. Two years ago, no one lived there anymore. Although it's in the suburbs, when people pass by, they hear ghostly voices inside. It's especially scary at night. You guys are actually going to go?"

  The driver quickly drove the car there and said to them: "You see, no one lives here, it's already dilapidated."

  Wen Baiyu didn't even need to get off the bus, she just lifted her head and took a look. The previous Zou family's large mansion had actually become dilapidated, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on it. It was completely different from what they saw the first time, obviously no one had lived there for a long time.

  Wen Baiyu didn't get off the bus and let the driver take it back to the train station directly.

  Along the way, Wen Baiyu was a bit silent, and Wan Xiang Jinghou said: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I just find it puzzling and have many questions. And what is Zou Chengyi's goal? He doesn't seem like a bad person."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and grasped his hand, using his fingers to pinch his fingertips, saying: "Who writes 'bad person' on their face?"

  Wen Baiyu wanted to pull his hand back and stared at him saying: "You're just writing on your face."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Is it?"

  Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and said: "I'm warning you, don't get too excited, this is a taxi, don't scare the driver."

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly changed his attitude and let go of Wen Bai Yu's hand. Wen Bai Yu was still wondering what was going on when he saw Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand quickly reach out and pinch him on the butt.

  Wen Baiyu almost jumped up, but it was Wan Qi Jinghou who looked out of the window with a serious expression, just like he hadn't stretched out his demonic claws earlier.

  Wen Baiyu glared at his profile, furious, thinking to himself: why don't I just pinch his butt too? That way, an eye for an eye would be satisfying. Wen Baiyu thought this, and suddenly his face turned red. This action wasn't something everyone could do, it depended on the thickness of one's skin...

  At this moment, General Wan Xi Jing suddenly sank down and said: "Halt."

  He spoke and scared the driver so much that he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car by the side of the road.

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou raised his chin and said: "Zou Cheng Yi."

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked in the direction of Wan Qi Jinghou. She saw a black luxury car parked on the side of the road in the distance, and a man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a long black windbreaker, with white gloves on his hands, opened the car door.

  The man looked cold on his face, wearing a pair of glasses that covered his slightly narrow eyes.

  What a strong wind!

  Wen Baiyu felt that she couldn't be mistaken, it must be Yi Feng. Even if someone looked similar, they couldn't have the same demeanor as well.

  The wind opened the front passenger door, one hand covering the top of the passenger seat to avoid hitting his head, and the other hand holding a young man who sat in.

  That young man was indeed Zou Chengyi, wearing a black Chinese tunic with a crimson agate ring on his hand, his face somewhat pale and his lips a faint orange color, his legs still appearing disabled as he sat in the car.

  The wind lowered its head as if saying something to him, then closed the car door. Zou Chengyi quickly rolled down the window and poked his head out to look back.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes immediately collided with Zou Chengyi, Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and Zou Chengyi seemed to smile faintly and waved his hand at Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu slammed the car door and said: "Master, quickly chase after that black car in front."

  The driver was startled, is this going to be a life and death speed?

  However, the driver's old man's car was very old and worn out. The other side was a luxury car. Yi Feng sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and the black luxury car quickly disappeared into the flowing highway...

  Zou Chengyi sat in the passenger seat, holding an ancient book in his hands, looking down at it.

  "Where are we going next, young master?" Zou Chengyi said with a faint glance.

  Zou Cheng smiled and pointed to the ancient book, saying: "After Hou Yi beheaded the Ba Snake at Dongting, the accumulated bones were like hills, so it was named Balin. Let's go there and calculate that Hanshi Festival is coming soon..."

  Yi Feng nodded and said, "Okay."

  He drove the car, but kept glancing at Zou Chengyi in the passenger seat. Zou Chengyi frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"

  The gentle breeze said: "Young master's eyes are a bit swollen."

  He said, Zou Cheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to glance out the window and said: "You've been talking too much lately, it's very annoying."

  Yi Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Young Master."

  "What's wrong?" said Zou Chengyi.

  He pointed to his own chest and said: "Before it was made of mud, now it has a heart, I didn't expect the young master to be so painstaking."

  Zou Chengyi sneered and said, "Don't be so self-righteous, the third elixir is only temporarily placed with you for safekeeping. When I fall ill one day, I will definitely dig it out from you. I always keep my word."

  "Of course, young master," said the wind faintly, "my life was given by you in the first place."

  He said, and then said: "At that time, the young master cried, and scared me."

  Zou Cheng glared at him and said: "I've told you before that you're annoying, shut up and drive."

  He finished speaking, but Yi Feng suddenly stopped the car by the side of the road and then suddenly took off his glasses.

  Zou Cheng furrowed his brow, just about to speak, when Yi Feng suddenly leaned in and said, "Your eyes are still swollen."

  He said, and actually gently kissed Zhou Chengyi's eyes.

  Zou Chengyi suddenly reached out and pushed against Yi Feng's shoulder, saying: "What are you doing!"

  Yi Feng suddenly grasped Zhou Chengyi's hands with one hand, and then lowered his head to kiss him on the lips, saying: "Young master, my heart is now a dan medicine, do I have the scent you like on me?"

  He said, pinching Zhou Chengyi's chin, lowering his head to cover his mouth, violently prying open Zhou Chengyi's teeth, his tongue sweeping across his lips.

  Zou Cheng suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, as if he was being pressed down into his chair. He felt the weight on his body and strained to turn his head, saying: "You're crazy..."

  His words were not yet finished, when the wind once again covered his mouth, carefully kissing Zhou Chengyi's lips and tongue, pulling on his tongue to respond to himself.

  Zou Chengyi only felt a lack of strength in his waist, his legs were constantly moving, slowly sliding down, the root of his tongue was kissed and it was a bit sour, his lips were numb and cool, but his mouth was hot...

  Wen Baiyu didn't expect to see Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng again in Yangzhou. Who were they, anyway? Wen Baiyu really couldn't figure it out. In short, they weren't ordinary people, and Zou Chengyi was hiding very deeply.

  Wen Baiyu soon returned to Beijing, and Yu Wei Yang told him what he had found out. In short, most of the things about Zou Chengyi were known to Wen Baiyu. His father was indeed a paternal half-brother of Wen Cang, and also had that hereditary strange disease.

  What puzzled Wen Baiyu the most was that when they last saw Zou Chengyi in Yangzhou, Zou Chengyi's leg seemed to be still disabled, which meant that this Zou Chengyi and the deceased Zou Chengyi both had this strange disease.

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't understand it, and Mingdi had repeatedly told him to stop investigating this matter, so Wen Baiyu stopped caring about it.

  The weather has cooled down, especially at night. The wind blows and it feels cold. The hot pot and mutton skewers in the small restaurant are even more popular now. But Wen Baiyu thinks that most people must not be normal, otherwise who would come to eat after 12 o'clock!

  Wen Baiyu sat idly behind the counter, watching Wan Jinhao and Tang Zibu busy with no end in sight. At this moment, the phone rang, "Ding ding" for two rings, Wen Baiyu quickly picked it up.

  It was a takeout call, calling for hot pot delivery at midnight, and Wen Baiyu's temples jumped twice. However, the other party's address was quite normal, just in a small district across the street, not some ancient tomb or cemetery.

  Wen Baiyu quickly went to the back kitchen to pack up the hot pot ingredients, and then put the soup base in the box, all of which were packed into plastic bags.

  Carrying a plastic bag and getting ready to deliver takeout, Wan Qi Jing Hou saw him leaving and said, "Be careful."

  Wen Bai Yu waved his hand and told him not to worry.

  Wen Baiyu carried a plastic bag out the door and soon saw a black shadow in front of her. "Whoosh!" It quickly pounced towards her face.

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously raised her hand to grab something, and then heard a soft "ah" sound. When she looked up, she saw that she had grabbed onto something soft and fluffy. She couldn't help but jump in surprise, saying: "What are you doing here?"

  It turned out that the one who rushed over was a Huli beast, which had transformed into a rabbit-like creature with its lower body, but its upper body was still human, and it had two long rabbit ears, and was being held in Wen Baiyu's hand.

  The beast's body swayed back and forth, looking at Wen Baiyu and saying: "I came to find you to play, I had a fight with Huashe, humph, I don't want to care about him anymore."

  Wen Baiyu had no choice but to put the beast on his own shoulders, and casually asked: "How did you guys get into a fight? Weren't you inseparable, sticking together like glue?"

  The beast wrinkled its little nose and said, "Pfft, who's as sticky as he is? He's too bad. He inserted my butt so painfully, I already have two dings, and he still uses the snake-tailed butt, which is both cool and painful, and it's too thick. I'm going to be ruined. When I asked him to stop, he wouldn't stop. Hmph, I won't care about him anymore."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu listened to one inserting from the left and another from the right, feeling that his ears were being poisoned, and said: "Stop quickly, I shouldn't have asked."

  The beast said: "Don't you also think that the snake is too annoying? I don't want to deal with him anymore, I'm going to find someone else."

  Wen Baiyu rubbed his temples, if Hua She heard this, he would probably drag him back home to discipline him again. Wen Baiyu thought that he absolutely could not interfere with these matters.

  Wen Baiyu walked over according to the address, but it turned out that the place on the address was not some residential area, but a bar!

  The bar was bustling with noise, and even with the door closed, you could hear people inside shouting and jumping around. Wen Baiyu suddenly felt like she might have gotten the address wrong.

  The beast looked at Wen Baiyu and said, "You also had a fight with the tyrant? Otherwise, why come to the bar to play? No problem, let's team up! Boss, give me a kiss first!"

  Wen Baiyu pushed away the rabbit's head that was approaching him and said, "I'm not interested in young boys."

  The beast nodded seriously and pouted, saying: "That's also true, Master. Are you the one who was inserted by the tyrant? I'm also the one who was inserted. I've never taken the initiative before, but it doesn't matter. I can learn to be the active one."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "Thank you, don't worry about it. I'm fine with Wang Jiehou."

  The beast let out a low growl.

  Wen Baiyu took the bag and walked over, just as he reached the door, he wanted to let the beast transform into a human or a pure rabbit shape, but before he could speak, the bar door suddenly opened.

  Wen Baiyu's first glance was a familiar face, often coming to the small restaurant to eat, but not a person, it was a zongzi, everyone called him Old Xu.

  Old Xu seemed to have had too much to drink. As soon as he saw Wen Baiyu, he rushed inside and shouted loudly: "Boss Xiao Ge is here! The fragrant Boss Xiao Ge is here!!"

  As soon as he spoke, everyone inside got excited and shouted loudly, then rushed over and dragged Wen Baiyu into the bar.

  Wen Baiyu went in and saw many familiar faces, all of whom were regular customers who came to the store to eat zongzi. The bar was extremely lively, with intense singing on stage, ear-shattering sounds, and colorful lights that made people's eyes almost blind.

  The beast crouched on Wen Baiyu's shoulder and said, "Is this the Zongzi wine? There are so many Zongzis!"

  Wen Baiyu was pulled in and immediately saw a familiar face, this time it wasn't Zongzi, but Mingdi!

  The Emperor of the Underworld sat on the sofa, holding Little Fu in his arms. Little Fu seemed to be a bit unaccustomed to such a noisy environment and was somewhat timid, with eyes that couldn't see, so he could only shrink into the Emperor's embrace, grasping at his shirt.

  Wen Baiyu saw him and immediately walked over.

  The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said: "Oh? Wen Baiyu has arrived?"

  Xiao Fu immediately looked up and searched around, even stretching out his hand to grab something. Wen Bai Yu quickly placed her hand in Xiao Fu's and said to Ming Di with gritted teeth: "Xiao Fu is not yet eighteen years old, how could you bring him to a bar!"

  The Dark Emperor smiled and said: "Hey, Wen Baiyu, don't be too serious, and this isn't a bar either, it's just a gathering."

  Wen Baiyu's eyebrows jumped up and he said, "What gathering?"

  The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said, "Today is Cold Clothing Festival, one of the four major ghost festivals in the underworld. Of course, we have to hold a party. Everyone is having a great time. I specially invited you over, come on Wen Baiyu, you can also order something to drink. Today, I'm treating."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You didn't mention it and I almost forgot, first give me the money for takeout, who ordered takeout!"

  The Underworld Emperor: *silence*

  In the dance pool, the deafening sound made the beast see the colorful drinks and rush over to drink a cup. It immediately got drunk and lost consciousness. Xiaofu had never seen a beast before, but it felt soft when touched, and the hair felt good too. The beast lay on Xiaofu's leg, moaning in pleasure as it was petted.

  The moment the Emperor of the Underworld saw it, his face turned very dark. He threw the rabbit away and picked up Little Fu again, letting him sit on his lap. He kissed Little Fu's cheek and said, "Little Fu is well-behaved, rabbits are not clean, never touch them again, your physique is so poor."

  Xiao Fu felt a little down, he had just found something fun to do, but still nodded his head. The Emperor of the Underworld continued to coax and say: "Give Uncle Ming a kiss."

  Xiao Fu's face was a bit embarrassed, but he still listened and kissed Mingdi. When Mingdi turned his head slightly as Xiao Fu leaned in, their lips touched.

  Wen Baiyu looked far away, suddenly his forehead burst with anger, ready to kill, but was intercepted by Zongzi halfway.

  Old Xu held a large wine bottle in one hand and a rose in the other, his drunken words slurred as he said: "Boss Xiao Ge, taking advantage of the holiday and with Da Zong Zi not around, I must confess to you!"

  As soon as he said "confession", there was a burst of applause, and many people were cheering, no, it was many zongzi that were cheering.

  Old Xu let out a belch and said, "Boss, you have no idea how delicious your family's black donkey hoof is! Whether it's the red date or bean paste one, they're both extremely delicious! And that Resurrection Soup, the tofu inside is so tender it's unbelievable! Hehehe, just like Boss's face, so tender!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu looked at the zongzi in front of her, and Old Xu continued to say: "Hic... The hot pot is also delicious, the lamb skewers are not bad, the spicy small lobster is good to eat, hic, it's just that when it gets cold, your family doesn't deliver goods anymore, hic, I've been craving for a long time...... Oh right, right, Boss Xiao Ge smells good too! You don't know, you're fragrant all over your body! Wuuu... But since Da Zongzi came, he's been occupying Boss Xiao Ge, wuuu... We can only smell the fragrance and take a few more glances at Da Zongzi before he gets angry, ah, Boss Xiao Ge, do you know our suffering?! Hic... Fortunately, Da Zongzi didn't come today, hehehe, Boss Xiao Ge is still fragrant all over, Old Xu must make a passionate confession!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Zongzi said, "Whoosh" and knelt down on one knee, then picked up the rose in his mouth and gave a flirtatious glance at Wen Baiyu, saying: "Boss, is my confession romantic enough?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and didn't say a word, but pointed towards the direction of the main gate.

  Zongzi was somewhat perplexed, but still lifted his drunken eyes that were about to stick together and looked towards the gate.

  "Hah!!!!!!"

  Everyone took a deep breath and saw a person standing at the gate, with his arms around him leaning against the door, looking at them with great interest.

  This person was wearing a black outfit, tall and large in stature, with a pale complexion. Although he looked exceptionally perfect, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, and his expression wasn't very pleasant...

  "My life is at an end! The giant zongzi has arrived!"

  "Mom, the adults have arrived!"

  "Phew, lucky I was just a bystander, Old Xu is really pitiful..."

  "All we can do is mourn for Old Xu in silence for three minutes."

  "The adults' expressions are really scary!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Wen Bai Yu and left for half an hour without returning, feeling a bit restless. He looked at the takeout registration form and found it, but unexpectedly, the address was a bar. When he pushed open the door and entered, he saw the most exciting scene.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou hugged his arm and immediately let go of his hand, walking over slowly.

  Old Xu was so scared that he immediately sobered up, retreated to one side, and when Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over, Old Xu very obsequiously handed the rose with both hands, saying: "Great great lord... actually just now I was possessed by an evil spirit, just now it wasn't me in control, but now I'm better, I've already sobered up!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou frowned and took a glance at the dog-legged zongzi, Old Xu hastily threw away the rose in his hand that had been bitten and handed over a new one.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took the rose and walked over to hand it to Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu smiled slyly and said: "You also want to confess? Then you have to line up."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou smiled and suddenly leaned forward, wrapping his arms around Wen Bai Yu's waist, then lowered his head to kiss Wen Bai Yu's lips.

  "Hah!!!!!!"

  Zong Zongzi took a cold breath again.

  "Da Zong Zi is passionately kissing Boss Xiao Ge!!"

  "Oh no! Oh no! It's so sour I can't bear it!"

  "Wow, the fragrance emitted by Boss Xiao Ge's body is even stronger now!"

  "It's all over! I've heard the boss's moaning!"

  Wen Baiyu's legs went soft as he was suddenly kissed, and Wan Qi Jinghou held him tightly, the two people's lips and tongues entwined together. Wen Baiyu suddenly felt his tongue being kissed numbly, a surge of excitement swept up, directly hitting Wen Baiyu's brain.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou seemed to have already activated his full-on mode, not letting go of Wen Bai Yu at all, constantly entwining their lips and tongues together, making him cooperate with his own kiss. Then, his hand slipped into Wen Bai Yu's clothes, caressing his waist.

  "Ah..."

  Wen Bai's legs went soft and he let out a groan, almost falling to the ground, but fortunately, Wan Zuo Jing Hou caught him in time.

  Wen Bai's face was flushed with anger, the other zongzi were stunned, and the adults' overbearing attitude seemed to want to swallow Xiao Lao Ban whole.

  Xiao Fu's eyes couldn't see, but he heard Wen Baiyu's groaning sound and thought that Wen Baiyu was injured. He anxiously asked: "Wen big brother, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

  The Dark Emperor coughed and said, "Little Fu, it's getting late, you should go to sleep. Let's head back home."

  Just as Wan Xi Jing Hou was kissing Wen Bai Yu and making her dizzy, Ming Di took Xiao Fu and escaped.

  When Wen Baiyu came out of the bar, he was still dizzy and his head was spinning. To his surprise, Wan Qi Jinghou kissed him in front of many onlookers, a long and deep kiss that left Wen Baiyu's face burning with embarrassment, feeling like he had lost all dignity.

  And those zongzi also cheered, clapping their hands and shouting good.

  Wen Baiyu walked ahead, turning his head to glare at Wan Kuangjinghou behind him.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shrugged and said: "Today is Cold Clothes Festival, you've been out for so long, I'm a bit worried."

  Wen Baiyu glared at him again, and Wan Jingshou walked over, putting his arm around his shoulder, saying seriously: "Baiyu, I'm actually jealous."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You drink soy sauce, I don't care!"

  They were walking along when Wen Baiyu suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I forgot about the beast!"

  Wen Baiyu immediately turned back to the bar, the dumplings in the bar were almost gone, without any trace of the beast, a dumpling said: "He just left."

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, probably going home now.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou returned home and saw a black figure sitting on the sofa, startling Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu turned on the light and saw Hua She sitting on the sofa with a black face, hugging his arms. Seeing them come in, he said: "Didn't Nao Shou come with you?"

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "He didn't come back?"

  Hua Snake heard this and his complexion turned even worse, shaking his head.

  Wen Bai suddenly remembered that Ao Shou had complained and quarreled with Hua She, so he probably was still angry and hadn't come back.

  The snake stood up and said: "I'll go out and look for him."

  He said and went out, Wen Baiyu shook his head, thinking that these two people are really something, as soon as he thought of Rao Shou complaining to himself, Wen Baiyu's temples started jumping again.

  It was very late, Wen Baiyu went to take a bath and immediately fell asleep on the bed. When Wan Jingshou came out, Wen Baiyu had already fallen into a deep sleep.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh and covered him with the quilt, then also snuggled under the quilt and hugged Wen Bai Yu.

  The next morning, Wen Baiyu arrived at the small restaurant to stock up. Tangzi was already there, and Gan Zhu was helping him with the inventory. There was another person in the restaurant, sitting on a chair with an unpleasant expression.

  It turned out to be a snake spirit.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him and said, "Haven't found the Xun beast?"

  The snake nodded its head.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Where can he run to? Are you guys really quarreling? I thought you were just joking around."

  The snake's face turned even darker, and Wen Baiyu took a look. Perhaps it was just a one-sided quarrel between the two beasts, after all, the snake was so steady, and the beast had a bit of a temper.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Don't worry, I reckon at most two days he'll be stuck to you like a bad habit."

  As a result, they still didn't see the Chupacabra all day long, until the small restaurant closed at night, and there was still no sign of the Chupacabra.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit uneasy in her heart, although the beast was a bit temperamental, it was generally gentle and only had a poisonous mouth, but it was impossible for it to not come home for two days.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit worried, and it just so happened that many zongzi had come to the small restaurant for dinner. Wan Qi Jinghou spoke up, asking them to help find him, and the zongzi naturally listened, especially since it was the young boss's friend who was lost, making it even more necessary to search.

  They searched for an entire evening but found nothing.

  Lao Xue said: "Will it not be in Beijing?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent again. The beast couldn't possibly run out of Beijing by itself. That night, the beast had drunk a lot of wine and was quite drunk. If it got caught, it would be in trouble.

  If that monster were to transform into a rabbit, it would at most be picked up by someone as a pet. But if it took on the form of a half-human, half-spirit beast, then who knows what might happen.

  Moreover, the fake beast has no combat power and at most has some healing ability.

  The snake's emotions have begun to feel anxious and uneasy.

  By the fifth night, everyone had already begun to expand their search to cities and suburbs around Beijing, still without any results.

  Wen Baiyu also started to feel anxious and uneasy, when she received a strange phone call.

  The display on the phone showed an unfamiliar number, and Wen Baiyu picked it up, only to hear someone laughing and saying, "Wen Baiyu?"

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Zou Chengyi?"

  "He smiled and said: 'It's me.'"

  Wen Baiyu was silent for a moment.

  Zou Chengyi said: "Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions. I just want to tell you that these past few days in Balin, I ran into a rabbit and I know you used to raise one."

  Wen Baiyu immediately asked: "Where is the Xiang Shou?"

  Zou Chengyi said, "I don't know where it is, but I saw a group of people carrying a cage with a rabbit inside yesterday... After thinking about it, I think it's better to tell you."

  Zou Chengyi said with a smile: "I'm really looking forward to our next meeting."

  He said that and hung up the phone.

  Wen Baiyu held his mobile phone, furrowed his brow, he didn't understand what Zou Chengyi meant.

  The phone rang again soon, and a message came in, which was a photo when opened.

  The photo was taken while driving, and it looks a bit blurry. On the side of the highway, a truck is parked, and several men are fiddling with a cage, covering it with black cloth. The black cloth doesn't completely cover it, and you can see a rabbit crouching inside the cage, absolutely a beast.

  The upper body of the beast is human, while the lower body is a rabbit. On its head are two ears, but the beast looks very bad, with blood all over its fur and a patch of fur on its leg torn off to reveal the flesh underneath.

  Wen Baiyu received the photo and the snake next to him immediately saw it. He suddenly became furious, slamming his hand on the table with a "bang".

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also took a look and said: "This person is very familiar."

  As soon as he spoke, Wen Baiyu immediately noticed the man he was pointing at. Although the man had his face turned sideways and his full appearance couldn't be seen, Wen Baiyu dared to confirm that this was Dr. Wang.

  Before that, when they were at Snake Mountain, Dr. Wang escaped by himself and this crazy person used Shi Yu's sister as an experiment.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Dr. Wang appear in the photo, during their time on Snake Mountain, Dr. Wang was very interested in the Mo Beast, now that the Mo Beast had been taken away by Dr. Wang, it must be for experimentation.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go, to Balin."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Where is this highway?"

  The photo clearly shows a highway, and the road conditions are very poor. The road is wide but uneven, with no signs or markings on the side, only a section of railing, which is really indistinguishable.

  Wen Baiyu had no choice but to dial the phone number again, and Zou Chengyi answered quickly. Wen Baiyu asked, "I'd like to ask you, where was this photo taken in Balin?"

  Zou Chengyi didn't make things difficult for him and immediately sent a road name to Wen Baiyu.

  Everyone thinks it's better not to delay and should hurry up to go to Balin.

  Wen Baiyu, Wan Yisheng and Hua She arrived at Balin. The road was very remote, with almost no cars passing by normally. They wanted to drive over, but unfortunately, none of the three knew how to drive.

  Just then, a black car drove over and stopped beside them. The window rolled down, and to their surprise, Zhou Chengyi was sitting in the passenger seat.

  Zou Chengyi smiled and said to Wen Baiyu: "Get on the bus?"

  Wen Baiyu looked at him without speaking, thought for two seconds, and immediately said to Wan Qi Jinghou and Hua She: "Get on the carriage."

  They got into the car, and indeed, it was Yi Feng who was driving. Yi Feng's appearance was exactly the same as before, if not for witnessing him turn into a puddle of blood with her own eyes, Wen Bai Yu wouldn't have felt anything different.

  Wen Baiyu sat in the back row, her eyes darting secretly at Zou Chengyi's legs.

  His legs were very thin and his pant legs were extremely empty, as if he was indeed disabled.

  Zou Chengyi seemed to have felt his gaze and turned around, catching Wen Baiyu's eyes just in time.

  Wen Baiyu immediately turned his head to avoid, Zou Chengyi said lightly: "Wen Baiyu, I know what you're thinking about, but there are too many problems, you have a lot of questions, the Emperor of Underworld must have told you, some things it's better not to know."

  Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes, and Zou Chengyi was already smiling as he said: "I'm not Zou Chengyi, but for now, you don't need to know who I am. Just call me Zou Chengyi then. I'll take you to find your friend, and later you can help me with something."

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Zou Cheng smiled and said: "You don't need to know now."

  Wen Baiyu looked at him, and Zou Chengyi turned his head back. Their car had driven very far and finally got on that highway, driving forward all the way until the sky turned dark before they finally stopped the car.

  In the desolate wilderness, it was extremely humid and foggy, and in the dark night, it was almost impossible to distinguish objects. In the woods, a simple tube-shaped building stood, with several windows lit up, looking very eerie in the hazy fog.

  Wen Baiyu immediately opened the car door and jumped out, and everyone else got out of the car too. Yi Feng took a wheelchair from the trunk and helped Zou Chengyi into it, then took out an overcoat and draped it over Zou Chengyi's shoulders, saying: "Young master, it's damp and cold here, put on another layer."

  Zou Cheng nodded slightly and looked at the tube building in front of him, saying: "The beast is inside, I saw them bring it in, but which room it's in, I don't know."

  The snake's emotions had been suppressed to the extreme, and he quickly walked forward with a swift pace. Zou Chengyi waved his hand, letting the wheelchair be pushed forward by the wind.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are you going in too?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "Of course, once you find your friend, you'll still have to help me."

  He said, beckoning with his hand: "Hurry up and go."

  A few people walked past, and the pipe house had only one door in, but a big lock was hung on the door, locked from the outside, and there should be no one inside.

  The snake-like man stretched out his hand and grabbed the big lock, with a "crack" sound, he forcibly pulled it open, then threw it to the ground, and pushed the iron gate open.

  As the iron gate was pushed open, a strong smell of medicine and disinfectant rushed out, somewhat like the smell of a hospital, but more intense, carrying a cool breath.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shudder slightly.

  The corridor was dark, with what seemed to be ancient voice-controlled lights. As the door opened, the voice-controlled light sensed the sound and suddenly lit up. The yellow bulb above my head crackled "zzt zzt" with some poor contact.

  They walked in, the stairs were wooden, the walls on both sides were painted white at the top and green at the bottom, just like an old hospital. The further they went in, the stronger the smell of disinfectant became, making them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  A black hole-like corridor with six rooms on both sides, all of which were closed and had large locks hanging from the doors.

  The snake's temper was violent by nature, and upon seeing those big locks, without saying a word, it made a "crack" sound as it broke them all off.

  The crowd pushed open the door, and a wave of damp, gloomy air rushed out. The room was dark, but by the moonlight outside the window, the scene inside could still be made out.

  A large iron bed, and on the bed was a desiccated corpse. The corpse's hands and feet and neck were all tied up, locked to the bed. Next to it were many instruments, but Wen Baiyu didn't understand what they were at all.

  The room also had a table with a stack of paper on it, covered in countless numbers that even Wen Baiyu couldn't understand.

  The corpse lay on the bed, its hands and feet stretched out straight, mouth wide open. On the nearby cabinet were many medicines, syringes, forceps, pincers, and knives, looking very frightening.

  Zou Chengyi waved his hand and fanned the air, a rotten smell mixed with the humid air, making people feel very uncomfortable.

  They left the room and pushed open another one.

  The room was empty except for a copper coffin, and it was strange that many potted flowers were placed next to the coffin. The lid of the copper coffin was open, revealing what was inside. A rotting corpse lay inside, its body twisted, with holes of various sizes all over it. Incredibly, a flower had grown out of the rotten flesh.

  Wen Baiyu's back stiffened, was she being grafted?

  He thought about it and felt even more disgusted - planting flowers on a corpse?

  One floor, six rooms, none of them small, all in this state, with various instruments, equipment, medicines, syringes, coffins, corpses, it's obvious at a glance that they are doing research, and there are many data on the table.

  One floor had been searched, and there was no sign of the beast at all. They quickly went up to the second floor. Zhou Chengyi's legs were inconvenient, and Yi Feng carried him up the stairs with one hand holding the wheelchair and the other hugging Zhou Chengyi.

  The voice-controlled light on the second floor was actually broken, and it was pitch black, with only the lamp at the end of the corridor lit up, and all the other lights wouldn't turn on.

  They went upstairs and found a row of thick pipes on the top floor, which was estimated to be transporting some kind of gas.

  The second floor also has six rooms, they started searching from the first room, not a single person was found, it's unknown where these people went, but every room didn't have any dust, definitely in use and used very frequently, some corpses were still fresh...

  Wen Baiyu's goosebumps were all out, previously he had only heard people talk about Dr. Wang's doings, now it was what he saw with his own eyes, those corpses were dissected, soaked in various medicinal liquids, grafted with flowers and branches, all sorts of things, even things that Wen Baiyu couldn't think of, Dr. Wang could experiment on them.

  Wen Baiyu's heart felt a chill, every time she pushed open a door, she felt tense, the beast had been in Dr. Wang's hands for so many days, and she didn't know what it would turn into.

  The snake saw those corpses, his face had already turned extremely pale, his whole body was filled with violent emotions, and his eyes emitted a green glow, as if he wanted to swallow people alive.

  "Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"

  Just as everyone was about to push open the door of the room, they heard a voice behind them, which came from the top of the thick pipe.

  Wen Baiyu looked up, but the voice-controlled light on the second floor was broken and couldn't be seen clearly. All that could be heard was "thud... thud... thud..." It seemed like something was knocking against the pipe, making it emit a hollow sound.

  Wen Baiyu's emotions were stirred, and Wan Jinghou grabbed his hand, making him look ahead. Before them, a black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness, crawling out along the pipe.

  Zongzi!

  It should be a zombie rice dumpling. With so many corpses in this tube building, it's unlikely that some corpses won't run out.

  "Bang......bang......bang......"

  The dumplings slowly crawled along the pipe, and every time they moved, their hands fell on the pipe, making a hollow "thud" sound, as if they had discovered them and were crawling towards them.

  Just then, Yi Feng suddenly said: "Someone is coming."

  He said, suddenly opening the door behind him, then letting everyone in, and immediately closing the door.

  Then came the "creaking" sound, as if several people had gone up from the first floor to the second floor, and the wooden stairs were being trampled quickly, making a noise.

  Then several men's voices were heard, one of them said: "The iron chain on the big gate is broken!"

  Someone said: "Looks like it's broken off? What kind of thing is this? It's too scary!"

  Someone said: "Could it be the corpses in the room? It's really scary, if they come back to life, can the three of us handle it? Everyone else has gone out temporarily, and we just happen to encounter this kind of thing at this time!"

  The first man said: "Don't worry, we have guns. Even if he's a zombie, he's still flesh and blood. He can't be immune to bullets. We'll shoot him..."

  "Dong...... dong...... dong......"

  He was speaking when suddenly he heard a loud thudding sound coming from behind him, and the sound was extremely close, right above his head.

  Three men from downstairs holding guns in their hands were stunned for a moment, then quickly raised their heads.

  "Ahhh!!!!!!"

  Wen Baiyu and they were in the room, when suddenly a loud scream was heard, followed by "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three shots, the bullets must have hit the pipe, the pipe was hit with a loud noise, and then made a "hissing" sound, as if there was gas leaking out.

  Outside, three people shouted: "Close the gate quickly!"

  "There's a ghost!! There's a ghost!!"

  "Fire!! Help!! Ahhh!!"

  A loud "bang" seemed to have triggered something, and the hissing sound of air leaking from outside quickly stopped. It was immediately followed by screams and gunfire.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou listened quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "The bullets are all used up."

  He had just spoken when they heard a loud shout from outside: "What's going on!! Bullets!! We're out of bullets!!"

  "Help!!"

  "Hmm——"

  A loud crash, the slightly ajar door was violently slammed open and a man tumbled in from outside.

  The crowd immediately dispersed, and Zou Cheng was picked up by a gust of wind.

  "Ah——" A loud voice, a huge face suddenly poked in through the door, a completely rotten glutinous rice dumpling, with branches growing out of the rotting flesh on its face, skin like tree bark, and fingernails transformed into branch-like shapes.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, and suddenly a huge face appeared, startling him. Moreover, this face was too strange, and he had never seen a zongzi grow like that before.

  Zongzi rushed over, crawling on the ground in the darkness, opening his mouth wide and letting out a "heh heh" laugh, then suddenly stretching out his hand to pounce on them.

  Yi Feng hugged Zou Chengyi and took a step back, then kicked the wheelchair out with a loud "whoosh". The rice dumpling was hit by the wheelchair and flew backward, hitting the pipe with a loud "bang", his arm broke like a piece of bark, and he fell to the ground with a "crack" sound, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

  "Ahhhhh!!!"

  The two men outside and the man who rushed into the room stared blankly at this sudden change, they didn't have time to think why a stranger appeared in the tube building, the people inside were fine, but the two men outside were suddenly splashed with blood, and immediately let out a mournful howl, the sound echoing throughout the entire tube building, reverberating in the corridor.

  Just as the blood was about to spurt out, he covered Zou Chengyi's eyes with his hand. Zou Chengyi pushed his hand away and said, "No need for that."

  "Save... save me!!!"

  The two people outside were covered in blood, but soon saw a lifesaver and, regardless of whether they were strangers or not, immediately rolled and crawled inside.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the zongzi outside, the zongzi rolled on the ground, broke off an arm, but soon a strange thing happened, the zongzi crawled up from the ground, twisting its body, and the missing arm slowly grew out from the broken end, just like a tree branch can regenerate, the skin of the grown arm was also like tree bark, and the fingernails were like twigs.

  Zongzi picked up the broken arm on the ground, grasped it in his hand, grinned at the crowd with a wide smile, and then quickly rushed over, using his arm as a weapon.

  The three people on the ground rolled and crawled inside, this dumpling was obviously mutated, it might be something Dr. Wang had researched.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to stop Wen Bai Yu and said: "Stand back."

  He said, suddenly grasping the incoming Zongzi's arm, Zongzi "heh heh" laughed, and with a burst of strength, the broken arm's fingernails grew longer, "whooshing" sound like a tree vine binding Wan Qi Jing Hou's arm.

  "Be careful!"

  Wen Baiyu shouted, but Wan Jingshou didn't seem to be nervous at all. His face was very gloomy. Suddenly, his hands which were tied up burst into flames. "Whoosh!" The flames rose violently, and Zongzi let out a loud cry. He immediately loosened his arms, and the flames quickly spread along his arm because his skin was like tree bark and easily caught fire. Zongzi cried out loudly and turned around to escape. "Bang!" He crashed into a pipe and ran away with a series of "Dong" sounds.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Wan Kuang didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter further and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Those men were so frightened that their souls left their bodies, they fell to the ground gasping for air, and had already become paralyzed with fear.

  Zou Chengyi's wheelchair was kicked out, the force of the wind was very strong, and the wheelchair had been deformed. Zou Chengyi's face looked very bad.

  "Never mind, young master," said Ah Feng, "I can carry you."

  Zou Cheng glared at him, but Yi Feng's expression remained cold and detached, his eyes fixed on Zou Cheng.

  Zou Chengyi suddenly felt a numbness rising from the base of his spine, and involuntarily thought of the two kisses, both of which he had been forced into. The first time could be attributed to the wine being an excuse for himself to vent, but the second time was completely without reason.

  Zou Chengyi said coldly: "Recently you've become more and more daring."

  He didn't say anything, he just pushed his glasses up.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the three people lying limp on the ground and kicked them, saying: "What kind of people are you?"

  It wasn't until then that the three of them realized there was a stranger in their dorm building.

  The three of them sized up the crowd, Wen Baiyu looked very weak; Wan Qi Jinghou's face was too perfect, although he was tall and imposing, with a cold expression, but it gave people an illusion; Zou Chengyi was a cripple; while Xi Feng was also tall and imposing, but seemed too refined to be feared.

  The three of them immediately said: "Who are you! How dare you barge in here?!"

  Wen Baiyu sneered and said, "Want to taste bitterness?"

  As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and suddenly a flame burst forth from the tip of his finger with a "whoosh".

  "Ahhh!!!!!!"

  The three people were already frightened, and when they saw Wen Baiyu's hand suddenly catch fire, the flickering flames illuminated Wen Baiyu's face, making it look extremely eerie.

  Three people screamed and said: "Ghost... Ahhh!!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You've hidden so many corpses in the building, using them for experiments. Are you still afraid of ghosts?"

  The three of them were frightened and shook their heads vigorously, saying: "No, no! We are just bodyguards hired by Dr. Wang with his money, to be honest, we are just doorkeepers, how dare we study the corpse! Really, really!"

  Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand, grabbed the collar of a person's clothes and pulled him up, saying: "Do you know or not that Dr. Wang brought a rabbit over a few days ago?"

  The man who was caught by Wen Baiyu's white feathers was so frightened that he trembled and immediately nodded, saying: "I know! I know! That rabbit, I... I have a particularly deep impression, is it the lower body of a rabbit, the upper body of a human, and also has rabbit ears? The other things brought by Dr. Wang are especially scary, but this one looks especially good-looking..."

  He said this, and the snake had already grabbed the person in Wen Baiyu's hand. In a low voice, he said: "Where is he? Take me there."

  That man was so scared that his soul was gone, Wen Baiyu was scary but had a gentle face, while the snake's face was extremely fierce and violent. The man was so frightened that he immediately nodded and said: "I know where it is, follow...follow me! Don't, don't kill me..."

  He said, trembling and pointing outside the door. The snake let go of his hand, and the man fell to the ground with a thud. He crawled up twice before finally getting up, fearing that the snake would get angry, he quickly rolled and crawled out.

  The man led them up to the third floor and said, "On... on the third floor... Dr. Wang usually doesn't let us go up to the third floor, but I... I secretly saw it, absolutely no mistake."

  They went up the stairs, and the third floor also had six rooms. The man pointed to the last one and said: "This is Dr. Wang's dedicated laboratory, with the latest equipment inside. He always examines the new things he brings back himself first, so it must be in this room. It's only been a few days since he brought it back, but Dr. Wang has been particularly busy these past few days, as if he had discovered something. He even drove all his bodyguards away and left in a hurry. There is no key to Dr. Wang here, the door can't be opened, it's the most advanced...

  He hadn't finished speaking when the snake suddenly became impatient and pushed him away, then reached out to grab the door handle, and with a loud "bang!" the door was flung open.

  Three people were so scared that they trembled like sieves and didn't dare go in, standing outside the door instead.

  Everyone immediately walked in.

  The room is very large, and the equipment inside is very new and looks advanced. There is an iron bed in the house with several bundles of iron rings for binding, all of which are stained with blood. The iron bed also has bloodstains, and a surgical knife is placed next to it. A plate is filled with blood, almost full, and not yet completely dry. Next to it is an empty syringe, unknown what was originally inside.

  The snake saw this scene and was extremely furious.

  "Look!"

  Wen Baiyu pointed to a cage in the corner, which was covered with black cloth, exactly like one in Zhou Chengyi's photo.

  The snake slithered over immediately and with a "whoosh" sound pulled open the black cloth.

  "Be careful!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud whoop, the black cloth of the cage was pulled open, and immediately there was a "swish" sound, as if a mechanism had been triggered, and a needle shot out violently.

  The snake reacted quickly and dodged its head, only to see a gun placed inside the cage, which looked like it was used for anesthesia, but it wasn't loaded with bullets.

  Shot out and stuck on the wall behind him.

  There was nothing in the cage except for the gun.

  The snake suddenly became violent, its eyes turned green, and it stared at the men outside the door.

  Three men fell to the ground at once and said: "No, no, no... it's impossible! Absolutely in this house, we don't dare to cheat you, really!"

  Another man said: "Dr. Wang... he... He's a cautious person, maybe... maybe he moved it to another place, but this room is the safest, no key and fingerprint of his, the door can't be opened, he must be inside..."

  The snake's breathing was very heavy, and it turned its head again to look around the room.

  He put on gloves, pulled out the needle from the wall, and took a closer look at it. "This is no ordinary anesthetic needle."

  He said, handing it over for everyone to see, and on that needle, there was actually a faint blue light.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, as if she felt something was off.

  The snake in the house searched around and became even more furious, sweeping everything on the table to the ground with a slap of its hand, scaring the three people outside almost to death.

  Wen Baiyu frowned and looked at the house, pointing to the wall inside and saying: "This house is very strange, missing a corner, the layout should be the same as downstairs, there should be a hidden door in here."

  He said, the snake transformed and rushed over, stretching out his hand to carefully feel along the wall. Wan Xi Jing Hou also walked over, rubbing against the wall, and soon found a seam. He knocked on it, and below was empty space. There should be a button or mechanism of some sort, but since there was only one seam, wanting to open it would likely require another mechanism.

  Huāshé had no time to look for the mechanism, he placed his hand on the seam and suddenly pressed down, hearing a "crack" sound. The wall surface opened up with a hole, and below it was indeed a rotating handle, Huāshé turned it with his hand.

  Rumble——

  With a soft creak, the wall surface quickly rose up, and this wall surface was actually a gate.

  After the wall rose, it was a small house of more than ten square meters inside. The room was dark and gloomy, with a computer, an office desk, and a strong bloody smell rushing out of the small house.

  Everyone immediately walked in, bypassed the office desk, and suddenly found that there was an iron bed behind, and the beast was lying naked on it, with blood all over its body, its limbs and neck were locked by iron rings, and the iron rings were covered with blood. The beast's limbs and neck were all bloody.

  The snake's breath suddenly became furious, and it rushed over, "crack" the iron ring was broken, and the person was hugged up.

  The beast was moved by him, and suddenly let out a low hum, his eyes suddenly opened, and there were vigilance and anger in his eyes, and a low growl similar to that of a wild animal came from his throat.

  The beast had always been gentle and never showed such a terrifying expression before. Its low growl was unusually frightening.

  The snake wrapped itself around him, but didn't dare use force, fearing it would hurt his wound.

  The beast's eyes were bloodshot, and at first it seemed to be in a state of confusion, not recognizing them. Its mouth revealed sharp fangs as it grabbed the snake's arm with one swipe and bit down.

  The snake trembled slightly, but didn't dodge. Instead, it hugged the beast tightly and gently stroked its back, saying "It's okay, it's me."

  The rabbit bit his arm and wouldn't let go, its two ears were stretched very straight, its throat still making a hoarse sound, slowly calming down, the two rabbit ears suddenly went soft, drooping beside its cheeks, tears pouring down.

  The snake hugged him tightly and said: "It's me... it's me, I'm fine..."

  The beast grasped the snake tightly, crying to the point of being out of breath, its throat hoarse. With great difficulty, it managed to speak, saying: "I... my leg..."

  Wen Baiyu looked down and saw that the legs of the beast were covered in blood, with many wounds and small injection holes. He remembered seeing this in the photos too, where the beast's legs had been stripped of their fur, revealing the flesh underneath.

  The beast kept crying, his body covered in blood, and he rubbed against the snake's body. The snake heard his cries and became more furious, and the beast tightly hugged his neck.

  "Crying and saying: 'My legs can't move anymore...my legs...it's all your fault, it's all your fault...'"

  Hua Snake's heart tightened, and he wiped away his tears, saying: "It's my fault, don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore."

  Wen Baiyu and the others didn't bring any clothes, so Huashe took off his outer garment and covered Xunshou with it. However, the big coat touched Xunshou's wound, causing him to wince in pain again. He cried until his nose turned red, and he couldn't stop blowing his nose. His eyes were swollen like walnuts. The more Huashe comforted him, the more Xunshou cried, feeling extremely wronged.

  Wen Baiyu dripped blood onto his wound and it quickly healed, but his leg still couldn't move.

  Zou Cheng glanced around the room, then picked up a syringe from the table and said, "I know what's wrong with his leg."

  "What's going on?"

  Zou Cheng shook the syringe in his hand, and there was still a bit of residue left, which was a light blue crystal that had stuck to the wall of the syringe, similar to the bones they had seen.

  Zou Chengyi said, "Indeed, we will become ants on a string in the future. He was injected with **estimated to be something extracted from his bones..."

  He said, looking at his own legs, "Your friend's situation after is the same as mine."

  Wen Bai's face suddenly fell, and Dr. Wang had indeed used the animal for experimentation, and looking at the small holes on his legs, it was unknown how many injections he had received.

  Wen Baiyu rarely had a feeling of violent anger in his heart, but this time he did. He slammed his hand on the table with a "bang", and was so angry that he started panting heavily.

  Zou Chengyi said lightly, "Don't worry, he's only been injected for a few days and won't fall ill so quickly. I know how to crack the code. Originally, I wanted you to help me, but now it's also helping yourselves."

  The beast was still crying, and when he saw the snake, he became even more wronged. He lay in his arms, crying until he was tired, panting, his legs unable to move, completely numb, and could only let the snake hold him, saying: "It's all your fault, you scolded me..."

  The snake's heart ached and couldn't bear it. She kissed his red and swollen eyes, saying: "It's all my fault, don't cry anymore. Are there any other wounds? Where else are you hurt?"

  The beast shook its head, sobbing and saying: "He sucked my blood, sucked a lot of blood, it was very painful, and he even used needles to prick me... I saw him... He's still planting saplings on the corpse..."

  The beast trembled with fear as it spoke, its two ears flapping against its cheeks.

  Wen Baiyu's blood was very useful, and the beast healed quickly, except for its leg, which was no longer a major issue. Huashe helped him put on his outer garment, but the beast's body was small, so it got completely covered up at once. It lay in his arms, twitching slightly, seemingly exhausted from the pain, blood loss, and mental strain. Soon, it fell asleep, still clutching Huashe's clothes, muttering in its sleep: "It's all your fault...it's all your fault..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took a glance at the table, the computer was encrypted, but on the desk lay a file, he reached out and picked it up, opened it, the first page was a yellowed parchment, with a tree drawn on it. The tree was exactly the same as the pattern on the bone box they saw in the Guangchuan King's tomb.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou quickly turned to the next page, which was filled with many photos. The faces in the photos were twisted and extremely fearful, as if they were suffering from immense pain. Their bodies had shriveled up, leaving only blue-colored bones.

  There are still many data behind, and there are several black feather photos, as well as Dr. Wang's research on crows, several photos distilled on blue bones, with data next to them.

  Wan Xi Jinghou picked up the syringe and took a look, with a label attached to it, which had a string of data on it that matched the information in the file, just like Zou Chengyi said, it was indeed extracted from bone.

  Zou Chengyi looked at them and said, "So what's next?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou held that piece of paper and said with a gloomy face: "Let's go find this Dr. Wang."

  Wen Baiyu walked out of the room, and those three people were about to run away. Seeing Wen Baiyu come out, they all fell to the ground and didn't dare move.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Where did Dr. Wang go?'"

  Someone said: "I really don't know, all of our people have been transferred by him, we are left behind to guard."

  Another person said: "I... I heard it with one ear, just around here, but we really don't know where exactly. It's said that a chaotic tomb was found, with many corpses... Dr. Wang has arranged for people to transport the bodies."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Tomb?"
