Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 869 Treasure Hunt in the Compartment
Wu Xian squatted in front of the corpse, trying to pull out the chains.

But Wu Xian soon realized that the chain was locked to the massage chair, and only by finding the key to unlock the antique lock on the chain could he take it away.

In addition, Wu Xian made an unexpected discovery.

That is, many things in this blessed land are excessively robust.

For example, this massage chair is like something that's grown on the ground; Wu Xian can neither destroy it nor lift it up.

If you think back a little, when the blessed land first started, the Cursed Dream Dagger couldn't even cut the white silk ribbons on Chen Chao and the others' feet!

Wu Xian therefore had a new conjecture.

The previous blessed land was where the dependents were thrown into places ravaged by evil spirits. What the dependents saw and experienced was the reality that the original inhabitants of the blessed land had experienced.

But right now, this Ming Dynasty Culture Museum and Exhibition Hall is more like a meticulously designed venue, much like a popular escape room game in the real world, with the "family members" being the players...

Wu Xian stopped thinking.

Since we can't get the chain for now, let's continue opening blind boxes in the remaining three compartments.

The second cubicle was opened, and there were no cockroaches or corpses inside, which relieved the three newcomers. Wu Xian went in and took out a box the size of caviar.

The box contained a powdery substance that smelled of sulfur. When you held it in your hand, the relevant information appeared on the certificate.

Fire Powder: Sprinkling it on a burning weapon can increase the flame temperature within one minute and prolong the flame's burning time.

This powder seems to be specially prepared for the 'Long-lasting Burning Talisman'. Weapons with this talisman attached will extinguish after killing three evil spirits. This so-called extended burning time should be to increase the number of times evil spirits can be killed.

After obtaining the powder, Wu Xian further confirmed his conjecture.

After Wu Xian explained the effects of the powder to the three newcomers, they also became very interested in the next cubicle.

Their only means of survival in the blessed land is the weak ability they gained through worshipping the gods. These items, which can enhance their abilities, significantly increase their chances of survival.

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had been aroused, Wu Xian put his hand on the doorknob. As soon as he turned the handle, Wu Xian's expression changed slightly. He sensed something was wrong from the feel of the handle, so he waved to signal the newlyweds to move away.

Creak... Thump!
The moment Wu Xian opened the door, a female corpse fell out and crashed heavily to the ground, splattering rotting human tissue in all directions.

Liu Nana and Li Xiaohu exclaimed softly.

Chen Chao took two deep breaths, clutched his chest, and leaned against the wall.

He could feel a thumping sound in his chest, which meant his heart rate had soared to over 150. He had always considered himself to be in good health, and now he could only pray that he wouldn't have a heart attack from the fright...

In addition, there were several highly decomposed corpses in compartment number three. The walls of the compartment were covered with scratch marks, and the overall condition was much more disgusting than that of compartment number one.

Judging from the scene, after the disaster, the club's employees hid in this cubicle to escape danger, but in the end, this cubicle became their grave.

This bloody room is perfect for testing the nerves of newlyweds.

Therefore, Wu Xian urged the three of them into the room and told them to look for something useful in the cubicle. Eventually, Liu Nana found an exquisite medicine bottle in the pocket of a corpse and handed it to Wu Xian to check the information.

Expired wound medicine: Four ounces of lime and five mace of rhubarb, stir-fried until peach-colored, it stops bleeding like a miracle... This medicine has expired. If placed together with "Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pills" for half an hour, it can fully restore its medicinal effect. Sprinkle it on the wound to stop the bleeding immediately.

This medicine bottle is also useful, but unfortunately Hu Zhongjian is already dead. Next was the fourth cubicle.

Before opening the door to the cubicle, the newlyweds thought that whatever was inside wouldn't scare them, but what they saw inside still made their eyes widen, and even Wu Xian looked slightly surprised.

On the massage bed in the cubicle lay the corpse of a large, obese man. The corpse must have been receiving cupping therapy before it died. Cupping therapy is not unusual, but the problem was that the cups on the corpse were too big!

The fat corpse's entire back, arms, and the back of its thighs were covered with brass cupping jars, the largest of which was about the size of a washbasin and more than half a meter tall!
Liu Nana stopped Li Xiaohu, who was about to go in: "Be careful, this fat corpse is still alive!"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow: "How do you know?"

"So far, the highly decomposed corpses we have encountered are all simple corpses, while the mummies that have not decomposed will suddenly attack people at some point."

"There is some truth to that, but don't be too absolute. Your thinking might be intentionally guided by the people who set up this survival game. Leave some room for interpretation when you think about it."

After giving a few words of instruction, Wu Xian went into cubicle number four.

The moment his foot stepped inside, the fat corpse on the massage chair showed signs of waking up, with some of the cupping jars on its back even starting to steam.

"Li Xiaohu!"

This time, Li Xiaohu made no mistake. He quickly took out the Soul-Soothing Bell and shook it. Under the influence of the bell, the fat corpse that was about to wake up fell back into a deep sleep.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Xian began a rapid search.

The room was relatively spacious, and all the details could be seen at a glance, so if there was anything, it should be hidden on the fat corpse.

He first scanned the area and quickly discovered that most of the fire pots behind the fat corpse looked like brass chamber pots, but one pot looked like a brass bell.

Wu Xian rang the bell, and the fat corpse showed signs of waking up again. Li Xiaohu quickly shook the bell to soothe it.

Brass Bell: A prop used by monks of Songlin Temple when practicing the Golden Bell Cover technique. Those who master the Golden Bell Cover technique can place this bell on the head of others to release a temporary Golden Bell Cover that lasts for one minute.

After obtaining the Golden Bell Cover, Wu Xian then tapped on the cupping jars on the fat corpse one by one.

As a result, a jingling sound was heard from the largest cupping jar, which meant that in addition to the necrotic flesh and blood of the fat corpse, there were other things hidden in this cupping jar.

Wu Xian used his finger to pry open a gap on the edge of the cupping jar, and hot air spurted out. The huge brass cupping jar was then removed, revealing a large, flat patch of purple skin and flesh underneath. This type of back was suitable for cupping.

On the purple skin was a somewhat rusty ancient key!

"that's it!"

This key should be able to unlock the chains in compartment number one!

Having obtained the key, there was little left to find in the room where the fat corpse was, but Wu Xian suddenly had another idea before leaving.

He waved to Li Xiaohu and asked for the head of the security guard who was being stitched up.

Then he pulled out the Cursed Dream Dagger, burned the dagger in a brass pot for a while, threw the head in, and put it back on the fat corpse.

That way, there's no need to worry about the security guard outside the door finding his head again.
