What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

However, Li Qing was indeed a very sensible person. Seeing that I didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions along the way.

The car quickly entered a luxurious villa area nestled against the mountains and by the water, but did not stop.

Instead, we drove straight through the meticulously manicured garden area and along a temporary dirt road that had just been paved with gravel, into the lush old forest behind the mountain.

"Boss Zhao is a man of principle, but also a ruthless one."

As Jin Wanliang looked out the window at the increasingly desolate scenery, he said, "This mountain is the ancestral land of the Zhao family before they rose to prominence."

Later, Zhao Jianguo made a fortune and simply bought up the entire area within a radius of several miles and developed it into a villa district. He left the back mountain untouched, saying that he wanted to use the lights of thousands of homes to honor the good deeds of his ancestors.

The groundbreaking ceremony was originally intended to build a more magnificent ancestral hall, but...

"The result startled our ancestors, and they even dug up an ancestor who didn't belong to the Zhao family."

I picked up the conversation and turned my gaze forward.

At the end of the dirt road was a leveled mountain valley.

Several layers of police tape were set up around the ravine, and dozens of bodyguards in black suits stood with their backs to the pit, their faces pale.

They were clearly ordered to stay here, yet dared not look back.

As soon as the car came to a stop, I pushed open the door and got out.

The temperature here is several degrees lower than down the mountain, and even at midday, the sun feels no warmth on your skin.

"Old Chen, be careful."

Li Qing jumped out of the car, the compass needle in his hand spinning wildly.

"This place was originally an auspicious burial site, but now that coffin has appeared, it has become a dead site, and all the earth's energy has been sucked away by that thing."

I nodded without saying anything and walked straight to the edge of the pit.

The pit was dug very deep, about three or four meters deep.

The soil on the pit walls was a dark purple color, as if it had been soaked in blood.

In the very center of the pit, a bright red coffin stood upright in the earth.

The coffin lid had been pried open and was leaning against one side.

I squinted and looked down into the coffin.

There was a person standing inside.

To be precise, it was a female corpse.

She wore an elaborate and gorgeous bright red wedding dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and tassels that hung down to cover half of her face.

Her exposed chin was pointed and fair, her lips were painted with bright red lipstick, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if carrying a shy smile.

If you ignore the overwhelming resentment emanating from her, she looks just like a bride waiting for her groom to lift her veil.

But my gaze was fixed on her neck.

There is a black line there.

The thread was so thin that it could be mistaken for a necklace or decoration if you didn't look closely.

But as someone who stitches corpses, I recognized the stitches immediately.

Dense stitches coiled around her slender neck, forcibly connecting her head and body together.

Not just the neck.

Her wrists, elbows, and even the part of her hand that was exposed from the cuffs of her wedding dress were covered with these black stitches.

"puzzle……"

I whispered two words.

Just as Li Qing said, the corpse was not of one person at all.

Her left hand was slender and long, like the hand of a lady from a respectable family.

Although his right hand was also fair, his knuckles were slightly larger and his fingertips had calluses, clearly indicating that it belonged to someone who had worked hard for many years.

Furthermore, there are extremely subtle color differences in the skin tone of the head and neck.

"How is it? Did you figure anything out?" Li Qing leaned closer, clutching a handful of glutinous rice tightly in his hand, and asked.

"The craftsmanship is quite good."

I gave a fair assessment.

"The stitches are fine and even, and the person who stitched the corpse knows how to use malevolent energy to seal the wound and prevent the loss of bodily fluids. This person is an expert."

After saying that, I braced myself against the edge of the pit with one hand and jumped in.

"Holy crap! Old Chen, are you crazy?!"

Li Qing tried to reach out and grab me, but grasped nothing.

"Bang."

I landed steadily at the bottom of the pit, splashing up a cloud of purplish-black mud.

After waving to Li Qing to calm down, I walked to the coffin.

Upon closer inspection, the eeriness of the corpse became even stronger.

Her skin didn't have the stiffness of a dead person; instead, it had a jade-like luster.

I could even see faint black currents surging beneath her skin; that was the circulation of malevolent energy.

"Use the flesh and blood of the living to refine it, and use the malevolent energy of the dead to stitch it up."

I stretched out my left hand and gently touched the edge of the coffin with my fingertips.

It was icy cold.

"This isn't a corpse, it's clearly a Gu poison."

I stared at the female corpse's face, which was covered by tassels, and my tone turned cold.

"Some people sew different limbs together, letting them devour and merge with each other in the coffin."

The will to win will then control this body, transforming it into a ferocious Red Phoenix Demon, even more ferocious than the Green-haired Zombie.

Before Li Qing could speak, something unexpected happened.

Seemingly sensing the presence of a living person, the female corpse's originally lowered eyelids suddenly trembled.

"Crunch..."

A very faint sound of bones grinding together rang out.

Her slightly large right hand suddenly rose up and grabbed straight at my throat!

The speed was astonishing; the fingernails cut through the air with a sharp, piercing sound.

From the top of the pit, Li Qing shouted a warning: "Old Chen! Watch out! A curse is brewing!!"

I stood still, without moving an inch.

Just as that pale hand was about to touch my Adam's apple.

My left hand shot out like lightning.

The corpse's hand, strong enough to crush rocks, was firmly gripped by my left hand at the wrist.

The woman's movements abruptly stopped.

She seemed stunned, her eyes, which had just opened and showed only the whites, staring intently at me.

"He's quite strong."

I felt the struggle coming from my palm.

"Unfortunately, it's still a work in progress."

I didn't use any evil energy with my left hand; I just relied on the strength of my physical body to suppress her completely.

Although the corpse was ferocious, it was not yet fully formed.

The integration between the various parts is not perfect, and the flow of evil energy is stagnant.

The key is……

I could feel the black sutures inside her body trembling.

That was the fear of encountering a "superior".

My malevolent energy was refined from the foundation stone of the guillotine and then baptized by the Xuan Yin Malevolent Crystal, making it far purer than the mixed resentment in this corpse.

"Since it's sewn up, it should be possible to take it apart, right?"

I whispered something and suddenly exerted force with my left hand.

"Snap!"

The female corpse's wrist bones cracked as I squeezed them, deforming them completely.

But this thing had no sense of pain, which instead aroused her ferocity.

"roar--!!"

The female corpse let out a hissing sound from her throat, opened her mouth, and revealed a set of fine, sharp teeth.

The tassels that had been covering her face suddenly burst open, revealing a beautiful yet distorted face to the sunlight.

She's really shameless!

Her left face was gentle, her right face was ferocious, and they were sewn together with a black line.

At this moment, with her roar, the black line seemed as if it might burst open at any moment.

A thick, black aura spewed from her mouth, heading straight for my face.
