Chapter 58 [058] Resurrection of the Dead
"Let's go~!"

Others nearby responded, pushed aside a few constables who were blocking their way, and walked up the mountain.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Sun Zhenyao was furious and cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

blah blah~
Gu Zheng and his group of three riders came over at the right time and stopped by the roadside.

"Are you the head of the police in Daping County?"

"it's me."

Sun Zhenyao responded casually and turned to look at Gu Zheng and the other two.

The next moment, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran down a few steps, bowed and saluted, shouting, "Sun Zhenyao, greetings to the three adults!"

"See my lord!"

Upon hearing this, several detectives nearby immediately followed behind, saluted and shouted.

Demon-suppressing armor!

The armor worn by the three men was intimidating.

Gu Zheng’s starry cloak is even more eye-catching.

The only person dressed like this could be the Demon Suppression Guard from the Demon Slaying Division.

When Sun Zhenyao saw Gu Zheng and the other two, all the negative emotions he had been feeling for the past half month, such as anxiety, irritability, frustration, madness, fear, etc., were instantly swept away.

With someone coming from above, he no longer had to feel helpless.

"No need to be polite."

Gu Zheng raised his hand and said calmly, "Tell me what happened to you just now. Digging graves? Why did they dig graves?"

"They... they want to resurrect their dead parents and children."

Sun Zhenyao stood up straight and said helplessly, "Your Excellency may not know that our Daping County has been experiencing a series of bizarre cases of dead people coming back to life since more than half a month ago."

"Those people had clearly been dead for several days. Some died of illness, some jumped into the river, and some were killed... But after just one night, they all came back to life the next day!"

Gu Zheng remained silent.

Zhang Boshong and Yan Hongxue also remained silent, although there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

"Go on." Gu Zheng raised his chin.

"Yes, sir." Sun Zhenyao took a deep breath and continued, "At first, everyone was very scared, afraid of those who were resurrected. But soon, everyone found that these people who came back to life were no different from ordinary people except that their faces were a little pale and their bodies were a little cold. They could eat, drink, sleep and run. So, excitement replaced fear, and everyone was very happy."

"At first, I didn't think much of it, but after a few days, I discovered that the people who came back to life behaved a little strangely, and they became motionless at night, even though they were asleep, with their chests rising and falling and breathing through their noses."

"But the faces of those who were close to them turned pale and their bodies turned cold."

"There's obviously something wrong with this!"

Sun Zhenyao's body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "I found that these people who came back from the dead are changing Daping County little by little, trying to make the people in the entire county half-dead and change into another appearance."

"But other people didn't think it was a big deal! Not only were they not afraid, but they thought it was great to be resurrected from the dead. For example, people like Hu Mazi, they even dug out their father and mother who had been dead for a month from the grave."

"Because ten days ago, someone dug out a woman who had been dead for three months from her grave, and she came back to life the next day..."

"and many more!"

Yan Hongxue couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this, "How long did it take to dig out the body? Three months? The body has been buried in the ground for three months, and it hasn't rotted into bones yet?"

"No...no."

Sun Zhenyao shuddered, "That's why I'm scared. It's been three months since the death, but the body hasn't decayed yet. This is impossible in the past. It's even more impossible that after being dug out and left overnight, it would be resurrected the next day. There must be something wrong here!"

“There is a problem.”

Gu Zheng said calmly, "Put the rest aside for now. Take us to a family that has been resurrected. We want to see with our own eyes the person who has been resurrected from the dead."

"it is good."

Sun Zhenyao nodded vigorously and extended his hand to invite, "Please come this way, sir. There are three families in the nearby village who have resurrected people."

As he spoke, he called a few of his constables to lead the way.

Gu Zheng and the other two followed on horseback, first walking along the main road for about a hundred meters, then turning into a small path, passing through a small forest, and entering a village.

In the village, there were old people mending clothes at the door, children playing, and strong men chopping firewood.

Sun Zhenyao brought his men in, and Gu Zheng and the other two were riding tall horses, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

However, no one dared to approach, let alone ask.

Until Sun Zhenyao led Gu Zheng and the other two and stopped at the door of a house.

"My lord, this is it, one of the three households that were resurrected."

He first reported to Gu Zheng, and then Sun Zhenyao stood at the door and shouted into the house, "Old man Zhang, come out quickly, there is an elder who wants to see your Tiezhu."

"I'm coming."

A white-haired old man walked out of the dim thatched hut. He had a hunched back, a pale face, and a shaking body. It was obvious that he was very weak.

"Mr. Zhang, how are you?"

Sun Zhenyao was shocked when he saw the old man's appearance. He looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Sir, three days ago, when I saw Old Man Zhang, he was not like this. He didn't even stagger when he walked."

Gu Zheng was silent.

Zhang Boshong and Yan Hongxue frowned.

"Such pure Yin energy."

Yan Hongxue stared at Old Man Zhang and said in a low voice, "If my cultivation had not improved, I would not have discovered that there is evil spirit hidden in this yin energy!"

That’s right, evil spirit!
Yan Hongxue only sensed it, but Gu Zheng saw through the dark vision, wisps of demonic energy mixed with the yin energy.

And these negative and evil spirits shuttled through the old man's body, strangely and magically infecting, fusing and assimilating the vitality in the old man's body!
"What...what demonic energy? Yin energy?"

Being stared at by a group of people, Old Man Zhang was startled and said timidly, "Captain Sun, these three gentlemen are looking for my son. What... is there something?"

"If you have any questions, call your Tiezhu out first."

Sun Zhenyao suppressed his fear and shouted into the house, "Zhang Tiezhu, come out quickly, aren't you supposed to help your father with work? Why are you hiding in the house every day?"

silence.

There was no sound in the dim room.

"Well, um, my three lords, my Tiezhu has caught a cold and has not been able to see any visitors in the past few days."

Old man Zhang shivered and explained in a trembling voice, "Wait, wait until his cold is cured, I will let him..."

"No need to bother."

Gu Zheng raised his hand, motioned to Zhang Bosong, and said calmly, "Brother Zhang, please go in and bring the person out."

"clear."

Zhang Boshong dismounted from his horse and strode into the house while Old Man Zhang was panicking and trying to stop him.

Soon, a thirty-year-old man with a pale face and a cold aura, roaring and struggling, was picked up by Zhang Boshong with one hand and thrown to the ground.

"My son!"

Old Man Zhang cried out in grief, rushed over and hugged the man.

shuh~
Gu Zheng locked onto the man with his dark vision and concentrated his mind.

As expected, a translucent shadow was seen inside the man's body.

Soul capturing!

"Whoo~"

The man falling to the ground was grabbed by an invisible force and flew towards Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng immediately loosened his hands, stopped capturing the soul, and looked surprised.

The soul capture failed...

No, to be precise, it was the shadow inside the man's body that completely merged with his physical body!
