However, upon opening the door, a nauseating stench hit them, almost making them vomit!
All that could be seen on the wall were human heads hanging one after another!

The eyes of the human head had been gouged out, a talisman drawn in blood was stuffed in its mouth, and black mist swirled in its eyeballs.

As the black mist surged, the human heads gradually turned pitch black, exuding an evil aura, and eventually slowly condensed into miniature skulls the size of a finger!

Seeing this scene, Chen Anshui and Han San couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"Are all of these... are these living people?"

Chen Anshui stared wide-eyed at the human heads hanging on the entire wall in disbelief. Those that had not yet completely transformed into miniature skulls still vaguely resembled their original faces.

Chen Anshui remembered that some of the faces had appeared on missing person notices posted on the roadside!
If these were living people, how painful and terrifying it would be for them to be reduced to this state!
Especially since there's more than one skull on the wall, which means that the dead here...

The two walked cautiously and warily to the skulls, their hearts heavy, carefully examining these eerie objects.

They had assumed there must be some dangerous traps in the room, but before they could do anything, the entire wall of skulls began to decay rapidly!
They tried to stop it, but it was too late. No matter what kind of magic they used—whether exorcising evil or warding off bad luck—it was all in vain!

They could only watch helplessly as the skulls slowly melted into water, the black droplets falling to the ground, turning into mist, and then completely dissipating!

Standing in the middle, the two of them were not attacked, but felt a bit cold due to the strong yin energy and resentment.

"what on earth is it?"

Chen Anshui asked, looking puzzled.

They came here to investigate based on relevant clues, but they never expected to uncover such a horrifying thing! Sure enough, the disappearance of Chen Shuilian and the others was because of this strange place!
They walked out of the house, their hearts heavy, because they were unsure whether Chen Shuilian and others were among the skulls.

They continued their investigation and discovered that all the unusual features in the house were gradually disappearing.

Finally, in less than half an hour, the entire villa looked no different from an ordinary villa.

There was nothing unusual to be found, and even the yin energy in the area had completely dissipated.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they simply wouldn't have believed that such an earth-shattering event had occurred in this villa before.

"How did it suddenly disappear?" Han San murmured to himself, his heart heavy.

Generally speaking, the sudden disappearance of such bizarre things can only have two possibilities. One is that the mastermind behind it destroyed all of these things to hide clues and prevent them from finding anything.

Secondly, the mastermind behind this is dead, and with his passing, everything here will vanish into thin air.

Because these were all orchestrated by the mastermind behind the scenes, without the support of that behind-the-scenes force, these things will naturally disappear slowly.

If it's the latter, then everyone would be happy. However, they hadn't found anything before, so the first possibility is obviously more likely.

The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became. Han San said helplessly, "There are no more clues here. Let's go back first."

After returning, they soon met Zhang Hao, who was resting there.

After the previous battles, Zhang Hao was basically certain that all the recent events were orchestrated by the Zombie King. Moreover, through the deduction of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation, Zhang Hao also calculated the Qin family's affairs.

A female calamity!

What a mess of nonsense this is! However, the truth I learned through special channels has no solid evidence.

Legal repercussions were impossible, so Zhang Hao simply cast a curse on himself.

This can be considered a method learned from those evil spirits. Sometimes, using evil to fight evil is also a skill, at least it can be effective faster.

"Blood debt must be paid with blood?"

When Han San returned, he saw a wooden strip on the tea table in the hall with four large characters written on it. The bright red bloodstains looked particularly strange and made people feel uncomfortable at first glance.

"This is a curse, a harmful curse, and you must never learn it. I am here cursing a wicked ghost that killed a family."

Zhang Hao recounted the Qin family's case and his current response.

Now that things have come to a simple conclusion, the Qin family members can finally rest in peace.

With this in mind, Zhang Hao asked the two of them to contact Lao Zhang and quickly bury those people.

The truth behind the bizarre disappearances at the school has been uncovered, but due to its extreme strangeness, the school did not release the information directly. Instead, it chose to keep it secret, stating that the case was too serious to be handled discreetly.

And those things that happened at the club, that's all settled now.

They cannot let this go unresolved; they cannot afford to delay any longer. The zombie king has escaped, and if they remain preoccupied with these trivial matters and continue their investigation, the zombie king could potentially cause an even greater social incident.

Therefore, they had no choice but to quickly close the case and focus their efforts on the hunt for the zombie king.

The things happening in the underworld lately are getting more and more outrageous. Even the Judge's Pen and the Record of Fortune, Misfortune, Life and Death have been pirated! I thought these things were outrageous enough, but I didn't expect that what happened next would be even more outrageous.

The zombie king, which had been sealed away, has escaped from the underworld.

Zhang Hao sometimes couldn't help but sigh. The efficiency of the underworld was so frustrating that he didn't know what to say.

These cases were closed quickly, which can't be considered perfunctory, since the real culprit has been identified, but has not yet been brought to justice.

In the office, having finally completed the handover with other departments, they returned to their work areas looking exhausted.

At this moment, Zhang Hao was sitting in his office chair, carefully examining the national map.

He frowned as he looked at it, his expression very serious.

"With such a large area, who knows where that damned zombie king might hide? After what happened, it will definitely be more secretive in its actions from now on. What do you think we should do?"

Chen Anshui has been deeply worried ever since he learned about the Zombie King.

If this zombie is not eliminated, human society will likely experience similar horrific incidents again sooner or later.

How many innocent people will be implicated?

"Perhaps we can turn our attention overseas."

Zhang Hao remained calm, his gaze fixed on the western region of the map.

The western continent on the map is vast and inhabited by a large population. Most importantly, the cultural atmosphere of the western continent is more free. To put it bluntly, it is less bound by rules. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want, provided you have money.

Besides being rich, you also need status. People of East Asian descent generally face discrimination there, and even wealth cannot prevent it.

However, for the Zombie King, using a disguise technique to transform into a white person is an easy task. Identifying a zombie, however, requires the use of Yin-Yang magic.

"If we look overseas, the few of us could investigate for a lifetime and still not find anything!"

Chen Anshui couldn't help but complain.

If they can't even find a trace of it domestically, how can they expect to find it overseas? Isn't that just wishful thinking?
Zhang Hao disagreed: "They're overseas, and they could cause a huge commotion. I'll give you a little gadget that can help us track them down."

As he spoke, Zhang Hao took out several uniquely styled brooches from his hand.

These brooches are all beautiful and exquisite gemstone brooches, and they look quite valuable.

Actually, this thing was given to him by Yama, the King of Hell. Not long after Zhang Hao returned, Yama had the Black and White Impermanence deliver the brooch to him.

"Wear this gemstone brooch. As long as there is the aura of a zombie or zombie king within a hundred miles, this brooch will heat up. When you feel the heat from the brooch, you will know that there are zombies nearby."

Zhang Hao distributed the brooches to them, and each person wore one.

The little koi fish asked curiously, "Since we're targeting overseas locations, should we also go abroad to conduct our investigation?"

When asked this question, the little koi was very excited. Was it going abroad?

I've never been abroad before!
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "We'll split up and investigate, each of us responsible for one country. Remember, we must find the zombie king's whereabouts as soon as possible."

After Zhang Hao gave the order, the others couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

The other people mentioned here, in fact, could be counted on one hand if you added up all the people in the entire semi-space.

It's just Chen Anshui, Hansan, and Xiaojinli.

Even if other staff members were somewhat capable, they wouldn't dare get involved in such a high-risk case where a slight mistake could cost them their lives.

"I'm going to the United States, which claims to be the strongest power in the West. You two are going to the countries that are known as the financial powerhouse and the military-industrial powerhouse, respectively..."

Zhang Hao quickly assigned them tasks and instructed them to depart within the next two days. If they discovered any trace of the Zombie King, they were not to launch an attack; their own safety was paramount. He then concluded the meeting.

At the airport, staff members were saying goodbye to them, giving them words of advice before they left.

“It’s different abroad than at home. There’s no special treatment. If you cause trouble, no one will help you clean up the mess, so don’t be too high-profile.”

"You must keep a low profile when you are abroad, otherwise you may become a target."

"This mission is indeed dangerous, and I hope that all of you will prioritize safety."

After the staff left, the group said their goodbyes.

Zhang Hao sat alone on the plane, with a little koi fish next to him.

They booked first class, and it was relatively quiet here. However, with the arrival of this little lucky charm, things changed.

"I've never been abroad. What's it like abroad?"

The little koi's curiosity reached its peak.

"Tell me, tell me! Are the places we're going to full of weird white-skinned, blond-haired people? They don't look good at all, so why do people think they're good-looking?"

"Have you turned into a walking encyclopedia of questions?" Zhang Hao was exasperated and reached out to cover her mouth. "Can't you just be quiet for a moment?"

The little koi muttered softly, "Quiet is quiet, but do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

At first, Little Koi was indeed a little afraid of Zhang Hao, thinking that she was too noisy and that he couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson.

Now it seems I was overthinking things.

At this moment, the plane slowly took off, and the cabin was eerily quiet, so quiet that it made one's heart pound.

This is obviously not right; even in the quietest place, there can't be absolutely no sound.

Zhang Hao keenly sensed something was amiss, and he pretended to get up and go to the restroom.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw that all the passengers on the plane were asleep.

One by one, the passengers sat in their seats, their eyes closed, fast asleep.

Zhang Hao called out several times, but no one responded. He frowned and carefully observed the cabin, but found no trace of any evil spirits.

This is how it happened?
Just then, an old man suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and, seeing the complete silence around him, stared in astonishment: "What's going on? Why is everyone suddenly asleep? Ah, I knew it! Sleep is the only thing in this world that's irresistible!"

The old man muttered something about needing to use the restroom. Just as he stepped out of his seat and walked towards Zhang Hao, he suddenly transformed into a giant mosquito and swooped down on Zhang Hao!

The mosquito revealed its needle-like proboscis, and the old man's face appeared on the mosquito's body, looking particularly disgusting and terrifying.

"Fresh blood, warm blood, oh, it smells so good, I can have a good meal again!"

The sharp, needle-like mouthparts pierced into Zhang Hao's exposed arm skin in an instant!
Zhang Hao was wearing short sleeves, leaving his arms exposed and letting them itch.

As soon as the mosquito pierced the blood vessel, the old man, who was eagerly anticipating drinking fresh blood, suddenly let out a scream!
He abruptly pulled back the suction tube, only to find that it had been mostly melted and was now emitting thick white smoke. The old man was screaming in pain, as if he had been burned.

"It's so hot! What kind of blood is this? How can it be so hot? How can there be such hot blood in this world?"

At first, Zhang Hao did not resist. The mosquito fairy thought he was scared out of his wits. Despite having such good blood, she thought he was a formidable character.

I didn't expect to be so easily frightened by myself.

What a complete idiot!
His initial smugness vanished in an instant, replaced by utter disarray.

The old man covered his mouth, and after transforming back into human form, smoke billowed from his mouth, his tongue, lips, and teeth were all melted by the heat!

Zhang Hao looked at him with concern: "Did you put all these people into a deep sleep?"

If so, how can we get this wretched demon to wake these people up?
The old man groaned and looked at Zhang Hao, who remained calm and composed, with a look of terror on his face.

At this moment, how could the old man not understand? He had met his match!
I never expected to run into someone like this. Why am I so unlucky?
"I was the one who put them into a deep sleep. I... I just wanted to taste what the blood of different people tasted like. I didn't mean to kill them. Please let me go, okay?" This old man had lived for so long, and his greatest virtue was that he knew how to be pragmatic.

"I won't believe a single word you say," Zhang Hao calmly expressed his skepticism. Before he could finish speaking, the little koi fish hopped over and hugged his arm. (End of Chapter)
