Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 881 Evil Spirit Enters the Belly
After parting ways with Li Xiaohu, Wu Xian and the other two arrived at the entrance of the Su residence.

They waited for a while, and when Li Xiaohu did not appear, they stopped wasting time.

Chen Chao used a steel bar to slightly push open the small door on the main gate, and then heard a man's voice coming from inside the Su residence:

"To be born and to die is a blessing from heaven."

"To be born yet not born, to die yet not die, is divine punishment."

"Life and death are neither things nor self, but all are fate, beyond the reach of wisdom..."

Wu Xian peered through the crack in the door and saw an open coffin in the main hall. Inside the coffin sat a skeleton in a long robe, drinking wine, and the voice was coming from his mouth.

The skeleton waved to Wu Xian and the others, and the courtyard gate opened completely.

"I was most skilled in divination during my lifetime. If you have come here to seek a divination, the divination box is at the door. Draw a divination stick and you can enter. If not, please leave quickly."

The implication was that only by drawing lots could one enter the Su residence. The lot-drawing container was placed on the table in front of the door, containing a total of five lots.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xian pulled out a bamboo stick. The top of the stick was inscribed with the words "the worst possible omen," the bottom was blood red, and the center of the stick contained a fortune-telling inscription.

Haunted by vengeful spirits, life is near; blood and flesh dissipate, leaving only a skeleton!

Wu Xian didn't know much about divination, but he knew that the divination slip was definitely not a good omen.

The next person to draw lots was Liu Nana. She touched the lot while nervously trying to reassure herself:

“I’ve been to the temple before. There are usually five types of fortune sticks: the best, the most auspicious, the most auspicious, the most auspicious, the most neutral, and the worst. You’ve already drawn the worst one, so even if I have the worst luck, I should at least get a neutral fortune stick without any major incidents.”

When the fortune stick was drawn, it clearly read "Bad Fortune Stick"!

'The fierce winds howl, the calamities burn, bones brittle, flesh dried—they meet the King of Hell!'

Liu Nana was stunned: "How come there's an ominous sign here?"

In reality, people go to temples and Taoist monasteries to draw lots mostly for good luck. If they frequently draw bad lots, no one would want to suffer the consequences. Therefore, the lot boxes are naturally filled with good lots, and the few bad lots are just for charging money to "resolve" the bad luck.

But the lottery system in this blessed land doesn't take into account the feelings of the person drawing the lots; there might not even be a single good lot in the lot box.

Upon seeing Wu Xian and Liu Nana's lottery results, Chen Chao lost all hope and randomly drew a 'very unlucky' lot.

"The evil spirit enters the belly and leads to the Yellow Springs; the judge will not accept money to buy his life!"

After receiving the fortune slips, the three hesitated slightly at the door. The fortune slips were extremely unlucky, and it was difficult to predict what would happen if they entered the Su residence.

Wu Xian turned his head. The Lin residence was right across the street. Should he go and check it out first, and then make a decision after considering all factors?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the gates of the Lin residence were opened.

Li Xiaohu, who had separated from them, was running out with a look of terror on his face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Wu Xian and the others could not hear what he shouted.

In just a few breaths, Li Xiaohu was devoured alive by a group of evil spirits, and Wu Xian and the others didn't even have a chance to save him.

"It's troublesome..."

Wu Xian clenched his fists, his face grim.

From the moment Li Xiaohu's initial slow reaction led to the collective awakening of the hungry corpses, Wu Xian had no expectations of Li Xiaohu. Later, Li Xiaohu's solo actions further convinced Wu Xian to give up on him.

Wu Xian's attitude towards Li Xiaohu only changed after Li Xiaohu killed the old lady who was spraying water with a shovel.

But now it seems that Wu Xian's idea was right; Li Xiaohu did indeed get into trouble when he acted alone.

Wu Xian didn't really care about Li Xiaohu's death.

But Li Xiaohu is a newcomer! Wu Xian selected six newcomers from the ceiling, and so far Hu Zhongjian and Li Xiaohu have been confirmed dead.

Xiao Sijia and Miao Yue, two girls who were separated from the group, are likely to be in grave danger, as they are both complete newcomers and have no offensive worship props.

Of the newcomers who survived, only Liu Nana and Chen Chao remained.

Therefore, Wu Xian can assert that they no longer meet the conditions for passing through the blessed land. Even if they protect Chen and Liu until dawn, the blessed land will still be considered a failure.

"We need to speed things up; we must find a way to revive the new recruits!"

"The great evil spirit on the second floor, Su Qi, is closely related to the Su family. We have no choice but to go to the Su family."

Without further hesitation, Wu Xian led the two newcomers into the Su residence. The three of them disappeared at the gate as soon as they entered, as if they had never been inside.

Wow…

Su Qishi, who had been hanging in the small square, appeared at the entrance at some unknown time, her terrifying eyes staring into the interior of the Su residence.

"It's unfair..."

"I was wronged!"

After calling out a few times, Madam Su Qi reluctantly left the gate of the Su residence and began a new round of the 'cannot move' game with the puppets.

……

Chen Chao's greatest strength is that he listens to advice.

He was never blindly confident in himself, so even though he possessed the decapitation curse and was physically strong, he always followed Wu Xian.

This time, he clearly followed Wu Xian into the Su residence, but after taking a step, his body suddenly felt dizzy, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place, where Wu Xian and Liu Nana had both disappeared.

Chen Chao was lying on a wooden bed, with a red gauze curtain beside him. Outside the curtain, a man was pacing back and forth.

"Are you giving birth?"

"We're still a little short. Let's prepare some more hot water."

Chen Chao was confused; something felt off about this conversation.
He tried to get out of bed and found his body incredibly heavy, his stomach bulging out as if something was wriggling inside.

Below his belly, one could vaguely see an old woman busy beneath him.

"Could it be... that I'm giving birth?"

Chen Chao felt a chill run down his spine. He never dreamed that he would experience such a scene one day. He could clearly see the muscle lines on his arms, so the person lying on the bed was his real body, not his soul possessing something.

Next, an unbearable, excruciating pain came from my abdomen.

He could clearly feel something rapidly expanding beneath his stretched belly.

Some pregnant women can feel the baby kicking in their belly.

What Chen Chao felt was something inside his stomach—cold, sinister, and filled with indescribable malice. This thing was trying to tear his stomach open and burst out!

This reminded him of the fortune slip he drew at the entrance of the Su residence.

"The evil spirit enters the belly and leads to the Yellow Springs; the judge will not accept money to buy his life!"

"So, the so-called 'evil spirit entering my womb' means I have to give birth to an evil spirit? Once the evil spirit is born, I will enter the Yellow Springs, and by then it will be too late even if I bribe the judge with money..."
