Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 868 The Corpse on the Massage Table

Liu Nana is already in a blessed place; she'll inevitably experience more shocks of this magnitude in the future.

Wu Xian still felt a little guilty. Ultimately, the reason she was frightened was because Wu Xian had instigated her to investigate the security guard's rest room.

"You must have gone through a lot."

Wu Xian, for once, acted like a human being and tied his Flame Tongue scarf around Liu Nana's neck.

Liu Nana was freezing cold from fear when Wu Xian wrapped his scarf around her neck. She felt an indescribable warmth that she had never experienced before.

Gradually, she calmed down from her fear.

"There aren't many things in the lounge; these are all the things I could find."

She laid out the items she had found in the lounge in front of everyone, one by one:
The flyers and small pieces of newspaper found in the trash can were crumpled up.
Three keys, numbered two, three, and seven, were taken from hooks on the wall.
Two short, chubby No. 1 batteries can be put into the flashlight that was previously obtained from the security guard who was stitching up the clothes;
And the card she risked everything to steal from the captain's pocket.

Wu Xian first spread the leaflet out flat and used the firelight from the Cursed Dream Dagger to examine the information on it.

The flyers were filled with nothing but "Grand Opening," "Discounts on All Items," and "Half Price with ** ID"—things you see on all sorts of flyers. But through these flyers, everyone finally knew what kind of place this was.

Ming Dynasty Culture Museum and Exhibition Hall.

This is a special exhibition hall built by the local government to develop tourism.

The entire structure is modeled after ancient county government offices and various residences, allowing visitors to experience the complete look of an ancient town within a single building.

These shops in the first-floor corridor are all specially prepared for tourists to purchase items.

Next was the newspaper, which contained only a small section with a baseless rumor:

This museum is built on the site of a real county government office, but why did this county government office become a ruin? It is said that after a major case, something unclean appeared in the county government office, which is why the entire county government office was destroyed and buried...

No one paid attention to this news when it was first published, but judging from the current situation of Wu Xian and others, the content of the news is not entirely unfounded.

Two batteries were inserted into the long-handled metal flashlight, which was then successfully turned on and handed over to Chen Chao for use and safekeeping.

The card that Liu Nana risked her life to steal was probably used to activate some kind of device. Wu Xian kept it, thinking he might be able to use it later.

As for the key embedded in the Stitching Captain's flesh, it must be a very important thing, but given the current situation, they cannot do anything to the Stitching Captain, so they can only put it aside for the time being.

Finally, there were the three keys that Liu Nana stole.

There were no special markings on the doors of the five rooms in the left corridor, so she didn't know which key corresponded to which door, and took them all out.

The four people took the keys and walked to the door of the fourth room in the left corridor. They tried to open the door one by one, and finally succeeded in opening the door with key number two.

This means that the corridor on the first floor is arranged in order from left to right, numbered one to ten.

According to Wu Xian's conjecture, the important items in this blessed land are hidden in various rooms. So, the fact that the door is locked and the key is hidden in room number two of the security room must mean that there are very important items hidden there!
At this point, Liu Nana had fully explained the outcome of her trip to the security guard's rest room.

She had taken such a great risk and deserved a reward, but Wu Xian didn't have anything to give her, so he could only slip her a playing card and ask with concern:

Are you feeling any better now?

Liu Nana carefully put away the playing cards, her cheeks slightly flushed as she held the warm flame scarf around her neck.

"Your scarf is so warm, I'm not scared at all now."

Wu Xian smiled with relief: "That's great! Now that everything's alright, give me back my scarf." Liu Nana: "?"

After retying the scarf around his neck, Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. In this place filled with resentment, the Fire Tongue scarf was incredibly comfortable.

Then he was about to open the door to room number two.

But before entering room number two, Li Xiaohu suddenly pointed to the stitched-up body of the security guard on the ground and said, "Look, isn't the position of the security guard's body different from before?"

After his reminder, everyone looked at the body of the security guard who had been stitched up. The body was still lying in its original position, but the head was less than a meter away from the neck.

Chen Chao's expression changed slightly. He had been frightened by the empty-bellied hanging corpse with its head held aloft, so after severing and sewing up the security guard's head, he deliberately kicked the head away a bit. But now the distance between the head and the corpse had inexplicably shortened.

This thing is still alive!

If left unchecked, it will likely revive soon.

"Hey, that's easy."

Upon seeing this, Wu Xian threw the head to Chen Xiaohu.

"Since this head can move towards the body when we're not paying attention, we just need to keep the head with us. Be a little careful when handling it, in case it suddenly bites us."

After listening, Li Xiaohu studied it briefly and then inserted the wooden handle of the shovel into the throat of the head, so that he could move around with the head even without contact.

With all preparations complete, everyone finally entered room number two.

Room number two is a massage parlor. The overall decoration of the parlor is not bad, but it looks extremely empty. There is nothing useful in the lobby, except for the four private massage cubicles, which may hold what people need.

The four of them stood together and carefully opened the first cubicle.

call!
As soon as the partition was opened, a group of dark things rushed out!
There were hundreds of plump, dark red cockroaches rushing out in a frenzy!

Some of these large cockroaches flew, some ran, and some crawled all over the people. One of them even almost crashed into Li Xiaohu's mouth.

Li Xiaohu kept gagging, and Chen Chao's expression also changed slightly.

Liu Nana covered her head and squatted down with her back turned. Her chubby, rosy cheeks trembled. The moment she saw the cockroaches, she couldn't even tell which was more terrifying, this place or the security room she had just been in.

But Wu Xian's face remained calm. He had once roamed among poisonous insects, and these harmless cockroaches were just proteins.

If pushed to the limit, it's not that you can't eat it.

Before the three newcomers could even catch their breath, Wu Xian walked into the cubicle.

Lying on the massage bed was a highly decomposed male corpse, shirtless, with countless cockroach egg cases hidden beneath it. The man's hands were bound to the massage bed by a chain.

This chain...

On the floor of the cubicle, there were small whips and candles, but the chains were clearly not toys for lovers or the kind that were wrapped around evil spirits; they looked more like antiques.

Looking around to examine the lock on the chain further confirmed Wu Xian's conjecture.

Looking back now, there were two cages in the county government hall, and neither of them was locked.

Perhaps this chain is the lock on the cage door!
