Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 886 Half-bodied Corpse
In the dimly lit corridor, a hunchbacked man with disheveled hair walked slowly, making thumping footsteps.

The man carried a corpse by its leg with one hand, dragging the upper part of the body along the ground. After reaching an open space, he threw the body down and turned to disappear into the darkness.

Once the footsteps had completely disappeared, the corpse that had just been thrown there suddenly took a few rapid breaths and then sat up from the ground.

The body is Xiao Sijia.

After saying goodbye to Miao Yue's body, she explored the second floor by herself.

To call it exploration is really just going with the flow and barely managing to stay alive.

By chance, she found a bottle of corpse oil. The spell for turning corpses reacted with the bottle of corpse oil, but she didn't know how to use it, so she just carried it with her.

Not long after finding the corpse oil, Xiao Sijia encountered danger and immediately turned into a corpse, lying in a secluded spot by the roadside, praying that danger would not find her.

While pretending to be a corpse, she saw many terrifying things, but most of them ignored her presence because she was a corpse.

But this does not mean that her evasion process was smooth sailing.

As the time she spent as a corpse lengthened, her body grew colder and colder, starting from her fingertips. The bone-chilling cold almost froze her very marrow, meaning that if she remained in a corpse state for an extended period, she might actually become a corpse.

In addition, she was approached by two evil spirits.

The first one was a terrifying crawling woman. This woman fiddled with her corpse for a while, and after confirming that she was a corpse, she didn't come looking for her again when she passed by the second time.

The second one was a wild dog with a human head. This wild dog kept sniffing at her body, and then began to bite her thigh. If she hadn't been in a corpse, she would have screamed and been exposed.

The one who saved her was the hunchbacked man who had just been dragging the corpse.

But the man wasn't trying to save her; he was simply wandering around the street to the right of the second floor, clearing away the corpses.

Fortunately, the injuries Xiao Sijia sustained while in her corpse state would heal to some extent after the corpse transformation was reversed, so the wound on her leg did not cause severe bleeding.

She sat on the ground, looking around at the scenery.

The place was relatively open, with some miscellaneous items and many corpses lying haphazardly, which were probably all brought here by that man.

Some of the corpses were dressed in ancient costumes, while others were dressed in modern attire. However, most of them were either dried out or decomposed, and only one corpse was relatively fresh.

What surprised Xiao Sijia the most was that there was a door not far away!

The atmosphere in this area made her uncomfortable, and the strange noises that often came from it made her tremble with fear. In a place full of corpses, there was no way it could be considered safe.

She pinned her hopes on what lay behind that door, where there might be a safe hiding place, or where she might run into Wu Xian and the others she had parted ways with long ago.

So she crawled toward the door with all her might, and when she passed the fresh corpse, she suddenly stopped and stared intently at the body.

This corpse... looks familiar!
The lower half of the corpse had disappeared, the bloodied spine was exposed, and teeth marks could even be seen on the edges of the wound. Most importantly, the corpse's clothes looked very familiar.

This person...

It was none other than Hu Zhongjian, the music museum guide who had died in the right-hand corridor on the first floor!

Why is he here?
Were they also brought here by that hunchbacked man?
wrong!

When Xiao Sijia was lying dead, she observed the hunchbacked man. He was just wandering aimlessly in the right-hand area of ​​the second floor, and his eyesight was poor. He passed by her several times before bringing her disguised corpse here.

If Hu Zhongjian died on the first floor, how could he have been brought here by the hunchbacked man?
If he weren't a hunchbacked man...

As Xiao Sijia was pondering, Hu Zhongjian, whose body was now only half intact, suddenly widened his eyes!
……

Creak... Wu Xian led Liu Nana into the area behind the door.

This area should be positioned as a 'transportation hub', with the door on the left leading to the left side of the second floor and the door on the right leading to the right side of the second floor.

The escalator on the left leads to the third floor, while the stairs on the right can take you back to the first floor or to the third floor.

However, whether it's the escalator or the stairs, the connection to the first floor is blocked by a roller shutter door, the same roller shutter door that Wu Xian first saw downstairs.

The area was not large, so Wu Xian easily confirmed that there were no evil spirits hiding there. He then looked towards the door of the control room.

This door has an electronic lock; you need to swipe a card to open it.

Liu Nana happened to be in the security room on the first floor when she found the card.

On a whim, the two swiped the card and successfully opened the control room door.

The control room is filled with electronic equipment, including numerous displays and microphone amplifiers, and is intended to control the exhibition hall's monitoring and broadcasting.

But all of these things were damaged. Wu Xian could only control three things: two roller shutter doors and an escalator.

Perhaps due to limited budget, the museum only built one escalator, allowing visitors to go upstairs, but they have to walk downstairs on their own.

However, after fiddling with it for a while, Wu Xian discovered that the escalator was a new model and could switch between up and down directions, but this discovery might not be of much use.

After thoroughly understanding the control room, Wu Xian leaned on the table, thought for a few minutes, and finally made a decision.

Wu Xian looked at Liu Nana solemnly: "Next, we will need to take some risks."

……

crunch, crunch...

The roller shutter door of the staircase on the right slowly rises, and the staircase between the first and second floors is about to be opened up.

At this point in the competition, apart from Liu Nana, all the other newcomers have essentially been eliminated.

In order to find a way to revive the newcomer, Wu Xian plans to take some extreme and dangerous actions, which he definitely cannot take Liu Nana with him.

However, Wu Xian couldn't just leave her anywhere, so he planned to send her to the cage on the first floor.

Within the entire blessed land, only the cage secured with chains obtained from the massage parlor can be considered a safe place.

The cage is located on the right rear side of the first floor, and going down the stairs on the right side leads directly to the right center side of the first floor.

In Wu Xian's mind, as long as he was fast enough, he could slip into the cage and lock the chains before the empty-bellied corpses could react.

But as soon as the roller shutter door opened, Liu Nana shouted anxiously, "Close the door quickly, don't open it again!"

The noise from the roller shutter door startled the empty, hanging corpses below, causing them to climb up the stairs!

They not only blocked the stairs, but also tried to break into the area!
This meant that Wu Xian's idea was completely unworkable. At Liu Nana's shouts, Wu Xian frantically pressed the button and finally closed the roller shutter door again before the hanging corpses could climb up.

Just as Wu Xiangang was about to say something, he heard a knock on the iron door leading to the right side of the second floor.

"Help! Is anyone inside? Help me..."
