The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 95 I Just Touched a Dead Body
Huo Xingchen jumped back in a second and rubbed his hands back and forth on his arms, trying to relieve the strange feeling.

Beside him, Gu Qingyin reminded quietly: "Your hand just touched the corpse."

Huo Xingchen froze, looked down at his hand, screamed, and stretched out his hand, feeling like he wanted to change one.

Seeing this, Maomao stepped on the corpse's belly and rolled over with laughter.

Huo Xingchen knew that the monkey was laughing at him, and he also wanted to be tough and go over to throw the monkey down and carefully examine the body, but he really felt it was too weird!
Gu Qingyin sighed secretly, walked forward and held Huo Xingchen's hand that had just touched the corpse.

The warm and dry feeling came, effectively calming Huo Xingchen's panicked heart.
"Son, you have to think carefully about whether you really want to become a true Heavenly Master." Gu Qingyin said seriously, "If you don't want to, I will send you out now. If you do want to, you must overcome this level."

"I..." Huo Xingchen hesitated for two seconds, lowered his head and looked at the corpse again, gritted his teeth and said, "I think so!"

Gu Qingyin smiled and patted his hands, "Come on."

Maomao looked around. Although he didn't quite understand, he instinctively ran down from the corpse and climbed onto Gu Qingyin out of habit.

On the other side, Huo Xingchen forced himself to squat beside the corpse, stretched out his two hands, and tried to pry open the corpse's head.

On this side, Gu Qingyin picked up Maomao with a look of disgust, wiped her hands and hair, and cleaned herself at the same time.

Who wouldn't find a corpse dirty? She had to endure it for work, and she still had to clean up after touching it! If it wasn't for educating her son and helping him overcome his psychological barriers, she wouldn't have done this!
Huo Xingchen's body still resisted instinctively, and his whole body began to lean backwards from the head, but his hands were controlled by his brain to stretch forward, and finally landed on the dead man's head, and then he pried it open with force.

It wasn't particularly open, but the wounds were visible. The fatal wounds were in the throat, close to the left artery. There were three of them, and the edges of the wounds were very hideous, as if they had been torn apart by someone's fingers.

As a result, blood was all over the ground.

"That's too cruel." Huo Xingchen quickly stood up and stepped back after the examination. "The larynx was even pulled out. What a huge revenge this is."

Gu Qingyin smiled when she heard this, "Ghosts kill people for no reason most of the time. They kill when they want to. If you encounter one, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky."

"Can't you run away?" Huo Xingchen asked with a frown.

Gu Qingyin shook her head. "The more you run, the more excited the ghosts will be. If you don't run, they will be killed in one move."

This is a dead end. Huo Xingchen asked, "Is there no way to survive?"

Gu Qingyin thought for a moment and said, "Pray that the Heavenly Master will come soon, or wear something like a talisman, so that I can have a chance to escape the disaster." Speaking of talismans, Gu Qingyin suddenly remembered that the protective jade pendant she made for the third brother had not been given away yet.

She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a palm-sized wooden box, which contained the jade pendant.

"Each of you three brothers will have one for protection." Gu Qingyin handed it over. "This one won't be very effective for you. I'll make another one when we get back."

This jade pendant is sufficient for ordinary people, but for a Taoist priest who often comes into contact with evil spirits, it will become scrapped soon.

Huo Xingchen took it and took a look. The jade pendant was already tied with a rope. He took it out and hung it around his neck. The cool jade pendant against his body made him feel a lot more at ease.

Gu Qingyin looked at him with a smile, "Go and see again."

Huo Xingchen pinched the jade pendant through his clothes, then squatted back down, recalling the criminal investigation TV dramas he had watched before, and tried to replicate the steps of a forensic autopsy.

First, I pulled open his eyelids and looked at his eyes, then his mouth, then his limbs, and finally I found something unusual between his left and right fingernails.

"His fingernails are so black." Huo Xingchen even compared the dead man's right hand to rule out the possibility of dirt. He sniffed it and then turned his head to smell it. "It stinks!" Huo Xingchen dropped the dead man's hand and moved away.

It was an indescribable stench, a bit fishy, a bit rotten, like... a corpse? But it shouldn't be, he had only been dead for a short time.

"It's the smell of Feng Xia." Gu Qingyin said, "That's the murderer who killed him."

"Feng Xia?" Huo Xingchen was familiar with the name because he had previously made up for the "Happy Family". What puzzled him was, "She is not a human?"

"Before he came on the show, he was indeed a human. When he left the show, he was a half-human, half-ghost that merged with evil spirits. Now it seems that he has completely turned into a monster."

Gu Qingyin sighed a little, Feng Xia is really a good soil for breeding evil, and it has only been a short time.

"Is Feng Xia dead?" Huo Xingchen still didn't understand, "Otherwise why would there be a stench of corpse?"

"Be more serious, he is a living dead." Gu Qingyin reminded: "It is not easy to kill, be careful. Maomao, protect him well."

Maomao barked, kicked his hind legs, and jumped onto Huo Xingchen's head.

Huo Xingchen's first reaction was "I use it to protect?", but before he could refute, he thought of Maomao's shocking running speed, so he swallowed his words.

His second reaction made him a little upset - this was probably the posture when Gangmaomao was squatting on the corpse!
Whether it’s clean or not is another matter, the key point is that it’s too unlucky!

Huo Xingchen quickly grabbed Maomao and hung him on his shoulder, even giving a plausible excuse, "Your head moves a lot, I'm afraid you'll fall off, so it's safer to hang it on my shoulder, hold on tight."

Maomao actually believed it and rubbed his neck cutely.

Huo Xingchen's face changed and he held his breath. He remembered that Maomao rolled over on the corpse!

Gu Qingyin saw it all, but she didn't explain it with a sense of humor. She coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "Let's continue going up. If nothing unexpected happens, Feng Xia should have been forced to the rooftop by your father."

Huo Xingchen was struggling on the edge of collapse, "I need to replenish my inventory first."

Gu Qingyin nodded, "Okay, five minutes."

Time was running out, so Huo Xingchen had no time to break down. He just found a relatively clean place and started painting.

Five minutes is neither too long nor too short. With sufficient energy, Huo Xingchen can draw dozens of pictures regardless of quality. If he pays a little attention to quality, he can draw about ten or twenty.

But now, he had already painted quite a few pictures outside the building before, and he got quite frightened when he came in, so his energy was greatly reduced.

In five minutes, he drew five talismans, but the quality was not very good.

Huo Xingchen was very dissatisfied and didn't even dare to look up at Gu Qingyin for fear of being disliked.

Gu Qingyin just said calmly: "Open the way."

Huo Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work as a scavenger.

Gu Qingyin followed behind, secretly moved. She really wanted to lock up her son and use him as a talisman-drawing machine.
