My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 657 Forensic House

"You, under the guidance of the apprentice coroner, quietly came to the coroner's laboratory. Since the coroner came here and was isolated from the outside world, his personality has become more and more strange. He deals with corpses every day. Apart from teaching his disciples the techniques of autopsy, there is rarely any communication."

"But today, the coroner acted out of character. He walked out of his lab and stared in your direction. He seemed to see you blending into the darkness. He even waved at you, as if he was asking you to come in and tell you something."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you follow the coroner into the experimental room, or will you continue to stand there pretending to be stupid?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options given in the text and thought to himself that since others had already discovered him, there was no point in him continuing to play dumb. If he followed them in, he might be able to trigger a new plot.

"You took off your shadow puppet robe disguise and walked towards the coroner's laboratory. The coroner apprentices were startled by your sudden appearance and were about to try to stop you, but when they saw you were heading towards the laboratory, they withdrew their actions."

"No matter what your purpose is, if you dare to break into the experimental room without the invitation of the coroner, you will only end up dead. The coroner will use you as a test subject without hesitation, so these apprentices will not try to stop you at all."

"They even hope you can get in, so they can have another body for teaching. If they are lucky, they can even handle your body themselves. Some of the apprentice coroners are already eager to make a move, scanning your body up and down, imagining where to make the most appropriate cut."

"However, you disappointed them after all, because after you entered the coroner's experimental room, they didn't hear any other sounds."

"Usually, for uninvited guests like you, the Coroner's Guild will treat you by performing a live dissection, which means killing you in the shortest possible time, leaving your organs still active."

"But they didn't hear the expected screams, so they realized that you and the coroner have a special relationship."

"A few days ago, a man like you came here. He seemed to be a detective from the police station on the ground. The coroner personally came out to welcome him in, and he has never appeared since then."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes narrowed slightly. The inspector of the police station was actually here with the coroner?
And judging from the description in the game text, the inspector and the coroner seemed to be very familiar with each other, otherwise why would he come out in person to welcome him in.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

He went to the police chief to get something from him. If he teamed up with the coroner, he might not be able to defeat them alone and might even die at their hands.

"You entered the coroner's laboratory room. The room was filled with a strong smell of rotting fluid. A large number of dissected bodies were soaked in a pool. The coroner was busy at the dissection bed with his head down. When he saw you come in, he raised his head and looked at you."

"The coroner said that he knows why you are here today. The inspector you are looking for is here with him. However, if you want to see him, you must agree to two conditions first."

"The first condition is that it is currently lacking research materials. You have to go outside and help it find some suitable corpses so that it can continue its unfinished research."

"The second condition is that in the ruins of this Guifan Tower, besides it, there is also a forensic doctor from the West who has secretly kidnapped many of its apprentices. The coroner hopes that you can help it rescue those apprentices and, if possible, kill the Western forensic doctor."

"If you can meet and complete these two conditions, then it will allow you to meet the inspector of the police station."

"You have obtained the map leading to the Western Forensic House."

"Will you accept the conditions proposed by the coroner?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw that he was being pushed to the point where he had to agree even if he wanted to, otherwise he would not be able to see the inspector of the police station.

"You agreed to the coroner's conditions."

"You promised that you would bring enough materials for it, and that you would bring back the apprentice coroner who was abducted by the Western forensic doctor. As for whether you could bring back the Western forensic doctor's life, you did not dare to make a guarantee."

"The coroner told you to do what you can. He doesn't force you to kill the Western forensic doctor, but if you can really kill him, he will give you a gift."

"You have obtained the Corpse Collection Hall."

"The Corpse Collection Hall (special prop), this is a prop that the coroner temporarily lends to you. After you rescue the kidnapped coroner apprentices, you can place them in this prop, which will make it easier for you to move."

"Please note that although this item can hold life, the control is in the hands of the coroner. He can take it back anytime and anywhere, regardless of the barriers and obstructions of space."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to sneak away with the things the coroner gave you, or will you go and complete the task the coroner gave you?"

"Although the corpse-collecting hall is in the hands of the coroner, you can go find the Taoist Master Bailian. He may be able to erase the mark on it, and then this thing will naturally become yours."

"However, if you choose to do this, although you can obtain the corpse collection building, you will become the mortal enemy of the coroner. As long as you appear in the Ghost Fan Building, the coroner and his apprentice coroners will hunt you down to the death."

Tsk, that damn copywriting package tempted him to make a mistake again. If he really believed the evil of the game text, not only would the coroner's mission be ruined, even the mission of finding the detective would be twice as difficult.

It's not worth giving up several task rewards for one item.

Especially since this item is not that useful to me.

It is even more impossible for him to do so.

The story of the coroner ends here.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the anatomy room and return to the ruins of the Guifan Building outside.

"Do you want to activate that map now?"

"You activated the map of the Western Forensic House."

"On the way, please wait..."

"On your way, you met your fellow exile 'Bian Shanjun'. Bian Shanjun invited you to carry out a mission together. Do you want to accept his invitation?"

"Please note that after you complete the mission that Bianshanjun invited you to perform, the reward you receive will be chosen by the other party first."

"Moreover, Bianshanjun's innate ability can block all means of transportation, including your Five Ghosts Technique, which will not be effective on him."

Ok?
Let yourself pick up the dog’s leftovers?

Okay, go and do your own thing!

Jiang Xinghuo clicked no directly.

If he came across something good, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable to watch it fall into the hands of others? If the Five Ghosts Technique could be used, he could go and join in the fun. If not, he could do something sneaky. But his innate ability could block this kind of method, so he decided to join in the fun.

"You rejected the invitation of your fellow exile 'Whip Mountain Guest'. He expressed regret and hoped that there would be an opportunity for cooperation again in the future."

"You parted ways with Whip Mountain Guest."

"We are still on our way. Please wait..."

"You met a lot of fellow exiles on the way to the forensic house. I don't know why they are all here. Do you want to stop one of them and ask him in detail?"

"You stopped a fellow exile named 'Grand Temple Priest' and asked them why they came to this ancient ruins?"

"The chief priest was also surprised by your question and asked in return, "Aren't you here to track down the inspector of the police station?"

"The temple priest said that many of his fellow exiles were invited and commissioned by the chief inspector of the Beiping Police Station to come here and find the inspector who stole his things."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, he felt something was wrong.

What on earth did the inspector of the police station steal that made him commission so many players to track it down?
What is that picture of cranes playing with the sun?
Is it really just an ordinary heirloom?
He felt that there was something else going on here, there must be something he didn't know about. It seemed that this matter could not be taken lightly. Without finding the inspector of the police station, there was no way to find out the truth of the matter.

However, the inspector of the police station was hidden by the coroner. If these people did not know this information, they would not be able to find the whereabouts of the inspector no matter how hard they tried.

"You are continuing to move forward, please wait..."

"You have arrived, the forensic room."

"As soon as you arrived outside the Western Forensic Medicine Room, you smelled a strong smell of formalin, which was exactly the same as the Coroner's Laboratory Room. You could also vaguely see many forensic medicine apprentices wandering around."

"Your arrival has also attracted the attention of these forensic apprentices. Several of them have already surrounded you. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to kill these forensic apprentices directly, rush into the forensic room and start a fight to see if you can kill the Western forensic doctor?"

"Or should we lead these forensic apprentices to a dark and deserted place and eliminate them quietly to avoid attracting other people's attention?"

This time the game gave two options. Jiang Xinghuo took a look and chose the second answer. He planned to take on the bodies of these forensic apprentices and sneak into the forensic room.

His main purpose this time was to find the abducted coroner apprentices, and killing the Western forensic doctor was just a side task.

"You looked at those forensic apprentices walking towards you. Then you turned around and walked towards a dark and deserted place. You also pretended to be injured so as not to alert them and make them afraid to come and cause trouble for you."

"Sure enough, after those forensic apprentices found that you were injured, they immediately quickened their pace and chased after you, fearing that you, their rare prey, would escape."

"But when they caught up with you, they found that you had disappeared. Just when they were stunned and didn't know what was going on, your figure appeared from the darkness."

"The heart-piercing willow bow flickered in the palm of his hand. Each forensic apprentice was hit by three arrows, causing their heart meridians to quickly become clogged and blood to stagnate. With a plop, the corpses fell to the ground, leaving only one forensic apprentice who looked the most timid."

"Go over and interrogate the forensic apprentice to find out if he knows the whereabouts of the abducted coroner apprentices."

"The forensic apprentice trembled and said that he knew it could take you in to find the imprisoned coroner apprentices, and hoped that you could spare its life."

"You ask the forensic apprentice to draw a map of where the coroner apprentice is being held, and then let him go after he finishes drawing it."

"I, the forensic doctor, don't know if you can keep your word and let it go, but now it has no other choice. If it doesn't want to die, it can only follow your instructions."

"You have obtained the internal structure diagram of the Western Forensic House."

"You knocked this forensic apprentice unconscious. He won't be able to wake up in a short period of time. As for whether there will be any sequelae after waking up, that is not within your scope of consideration."

Then, Jiang Xinghuo took out the puppet thread from the magic bag. Now was the time when this thing came in handy.

"You used puppet strings to manipulate the bodies of the forensic apprentices on the ground and entered the forensic room again. However, since the effective range of the puppet strings is only fifty meters, you soon felt the limitation. If you continue to move forward, the puppet strings will lose their effect."

"What are you going to do next?"

"You chose to use puppets to manipulate puppets, controlling the bodies of those forensic apprentices to take over and move forward."

"In this way, the distance of fifty meters can naturally be extended further."

This was the solution Jiang Xinghuo came up with. He equipped several corpses with puppet threads, and controlled each one at a time. Perhaps he could control the puppets to go further.

This was just an idea that came to him on a whim, and he wasn't sure if it would succeed, but now it seems that this method is really feasible, at least it can work.

"You followed the route map drawn by the forensic apprentice and explored the forensic room. You found the place where the coroner apprentices were imprisoned. At the same time, you also saw the Western forensic doctor's studio."

"This Western medical examiner is just as obsessed with human anatomy and research as the coroner. However, they both have some opinions about each other. They believe that only their own skills are the best, and that the others' are all crooked."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Should we take control of the body of the forensic apprentice and rescue the suppressed coroner apprentices?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You took out the body collection building that was placed on the body of the forensic apprentice, and used the identity of a forensic apprentice to quietly enter the place where the apprentice coroners were imprisoned. Without anyone noticing, you took all the apprentice coroners into the body collection building."

"But at the same time, your actions also attracted the attention of the Western forensic doctor. It discovered that you were using the puppet thread to manipulate the corpse, so it threw out a few scalpels to cut the puppet thread, causing you to lose contact with the puppet."

"Fortunately, you were able to control the puppet in time to send the corpse collection building out, and did not let your actions go to waste..."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to leave the Western forensic doctor's autopsy room immediately? Or will you choose to rush over to test the other party's strength and see if you can kill him here?"

There were two choices. Jiang Xinghuo made a choice after a little thought. He would first try the ability of this Western forensic doctor. If it worked, he would just do it!!
