Nightmare Light

Chapter 142 The Dead Box Keeper
Lushan Villa, in a large study.

Ji Xuanyun looked solemn, staring at the wall beside him.

At this moment, the hostess of Lushan even took a defensive stance.

Only her younger brother Ji Xuanyun knew how amazingly powerful this woman was.

What could make her feel so threatened?
"Sister, what do you feel?"

"Just now, it seemed like someone... was eavesdropping on our conversation!"

Ji Xuance would never think that his sister would make a misjudgment on such a matter.

So his expression became serious: "Who could penetrate Lushan's layers of defense and spy on you and me?"

The two looked at each other and saw speculation in each other's eyes.

The two of them went out together and strode towards the second floor.

As they were going up the stairs, a waiter brought clothes to the two of them.

As they moved forward, the two masters of Lushan quickly took off their coats and changed into the clothes brought by the waiter.

In an instant, the two of them changed into loose and comfortable home clothes.

By the time the last button was buttoned, the two of them were standing at the door of the reception room.

Ji Xuanyun and Ji Xuance adjusted their breathing and pushed open the door of the reception room.

Inside the room, Lin Wang had just opened a new page in his book. Seeing the two people enter the room, the young northerner closed the book and smiled at them: "Can we go now?"

Ji Xuanyun also showed the same smile on her face. She took a step forward and asked: "Mr. Lin Wang, what book are you reading?"

Lin Wang picked up the book and waved it at the two of them.

Secrets of the Ancient Palace

He said, "It just so happens that there's a piece of history here that I don't quite understand... In the year 576 of the Imperial Calendar, the then Emperor of the Mist Tribe, Tang Zhaohuang, suddenly died?"

"It was said to be a sudden death, but the real reason was that he went insane." Ji Xuanyun spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened. "The emperor took the initiative to study a hidden ancient relic, hoping to seize the mysterious power within. He then suddenly went mad. It took the other two emperors and many experts from the clan working together to kill the emperor."

"So that's how it is." Lin Wang suddenly understood. He put down the book, smiled, and stood up. "Can we go see the body now?"

Ji Xuanyun and Ji Xuance looked at each other and came to the same conclusion from each other's eyes - it was not him.

Who could that be?

Those guys in the Federation who are hostile to the old royal family...

Ji Xuanyun suppressed these chaotic thoughts in his heart and nodded at Lin Wang: "Mr. Lin Wang, please come this way."

Lin Wang put down the book with a smile: "Okay, I can't wait any longer."

So suspenseful.

I didn't expect Lushan to be so heavily guarded. Even with Bai Huo, I was almost discovered... Lushan's mistress is very powerful...

Lin Wang stood up calmly and followed Lushan's hostess and Ji Xuance through the long corridor.

During this process, Lin Wang roughly constructed a structural diagram of the entire building in his mind.

He found that he had walked into a side building behind Lushan Villa.

After walking through another long corridor, Ji Xuance walked to a door and made a "please" gesture to Lin Wang. At the same time, a waiter pushed open the door.

Ji Xuance took Lin Wang into the room.

After entering, Lin Wang discovered that it was not a room at all, but a medical facility with numerous rooms and an astonishing area.

"Lushan has its own hospital, and it is equipped with the best doctors and medical practitioners." Ji Xuanyun said, "So, after the previous keeper of the box died, he was directly taken to Lushan's own hospital for the coffin and autopsy." Lin Wang did not comment, but calmly followed Ji Xuanyun deeper into the hospital, while habitually observing this medical facility - this kind of professional behavior would make people's brains very tired, but Lin Wang was used to it.

Lin Wang discovered that this hospital was different from other hospitals.

Although he was healthy enough and had not been to any hospital so far, he had seen the medical room of the Public Security Bureau - it was not much different from the hospital before he traveled through time. The only difference was that it was equipped with an additional medical technician.

Whether it's the medical room of the Public Security Bureau or the research facilities under the Mist Tribe Temple, they all have pure white walls and bright lights - this is the style that a proper medical or research facility should have.

But the hospital in Lushan at the moment is not like this.

The entire hospital is supported by wooden beams and columns, and has doors and windows made of wooden slats. Even the medicine cabinets are made of wood. Although there is nothing wrong with these wooden facilities, from a medical point of view, they make the light less bright and are of no help to medical treatment.

Is this an adherence to the old royal family?

Lin Wang was thinking in his heart.

At this time, everyone stopped in front of a room.

A man dressed as a doctor pushed open the door, and a chill filled the room.

This time, Ji Xuanyun did not rush to lead the way, but looked up at Lin Wang.

Lin Wang walked into the room, and in the chilly air, he saw the body lying on the bed.

The keeper of the box in Lushan, theoretically, the guardian of the greatest secret of the old times.

Now, this powerful corpse lay quietly in front of him, with its head and face covered with white cloth.

Lin Wang took a breath, walked forward, and after confirming that there was no energy reaction under the super-dimensional perspective, he gently lifted the white cloth.

The face of a serious old man appeared in front of him.

This old man looked vaguely similar to Ji Xuanyun and Ji Xuance - they both had long, pointed faces, but the deceased's appearance looked much more serious.

With his high cheekbones and stubborn thin lips, even with his eyes closed, one could still feel the seriousness and stubbornness of this old man. His astonishing aura even soared through his corpse into the sky.

But, strangely enough...

Although the deceased had a dignified and stubborn expression, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyebrows were slightly raised, but he didn't frown...

strangeness……

Lin Wang thought for a moment, and without further struggling with his expression, he said softly, "Excuse me," and then lifted up the entire piece of white cloth.

The old man's body was completely exposed to the public.

Ji Xuanyun closed his eyes and turned around immediately.

Lin Wang's gaze lingered on the old man for a few seconds.

Then he raised his head and asked seriously, "Was he killed by an ordinary person?"

Ji Xuance nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, when Third Uncle died, there was no fighting at all, and he didn't go crazy or get contaminated...Brother Lin Wang, what did you see?"

Lin Wang didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the wound on the old man's stomach for a few seconds, then looked up and asked the doctor, "Is there a wound on his back?"

The doctor didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ji Xuance. After the latter nodded, the doctor nodded to Lin Wang and said, "Yes, there is a wound on the deceased's back, approximately at this position."

He gestured with his hand towards the lower part of the old man's stomach.

Lin Wang pondered, walked to the old man's head, looked at the old man's strange facial expression for a few seconds, and said to the doctor: "Give me a pair of gloves."

Then, he put on gloves, reached out to the old man's eyes, and then he lifted the old man's eyelids.
