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

After saying that, I ignored him and turned to look at the offering table.

On the offering table, the heart was still beating slightly.

Its surface has a dull color, but its shape is still intact.

It was not damaged.

I reached out and picked up a clean piece of yellow cloth from the side, carefully wrapped my heart in it, and then put it into the cloth bag I carried with me.

At the same time, the scalpels that had been used as throwing knives were retrieved.

After doing all this, I turned my gaze back to the yin-yang face on the ground.

At this moment, he had lost his previous arrogance and could only pant on the ground like a dead dog.

But in his single eye, a strange madness flickered...

"Hehe...hehehe..."

When I turned my head, he suddenly burst into a strange laugh, a hoarse and grating laugh, coughing up blood as he laughed.

"Chen Yang...you're called Chen Yang, right? You think...you've won?"

Do you know me?

I raised an eyebrow, the scalpel in my hand twirling gently between my fingertips.

However, he did not answer, but instead spoke to himself.

"You took my heart...you destroyed my altar...cough cough...but you can't save that woman..."

With difficulty, Yin-Yang Face raised its head, and the charred half of its face suddenly began to writhe, as if something was trying to crawl out.

"And...you won't live much longer...Master...won't let you go..."

"Owner?"

I keenly grasped this keyword.

Sure enough, this guy has someone backing him.

Just as I was about to step forward and interrogate them, something unexpected happened!

The two-faced creature suddenly opened its mouth wide and let out a roar.

Immediately afterwards, half of his charred face exploded open!

"puff--!"

Countless black, rice-grain-sized insects gushed out from his ruptured cheeks and rained down on me!

Gu worms!

This guy actually raised a venomous insect inside his own body!

And they launched their final blow in this self-destructive manner!

Seeing this, I reacted instantly without any hesitation.

I unleashed the full power of my inner energy and charged to the right.

There was a wooden lattice window that was already dilapidated and worn.

The rotten wooden frame, along with the remaining paper on it, shattered instantly upon my impact.

Amidst the flying sawdust, I was propelled directly out of the main hall, landing firmly on my feet and splashing mud and water everywhere.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The moment I landed, several of the fastest-flying Gu worms rushed out of the window.

But as soon as they came into contact with the rainwater outside, it was as if they had been splashed with sulfuric acid. They emitted a puff of white smoke, thrashed around a couple of times, and then fell into the muddy water and lay still.

The remaining swarm of insects seemed to have sensed the threat from the external environment, or perhaps they had lost the control of their host. They simply gathered at the broken window, but dared not cross the line again.

"call……"

I stood in the rain and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then he turned around and walked down the mountain.

……

By the time I drove back to Jiangcheng Funeral Home, it was already noon.

As soon as I pushed open the door to the funeral home lobby, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Oh, my little darling! You're finally back!"

Director Wang was pacing back and forth in the lobby. When he saw me, he became excited and trembled instantly.

"If you don't come back soon, I'll have no choice but to sew myself inside to appease my family!"

"How is the situation?"

As I walked toward the morgue, I folded my umbrella, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"The family situation has stabilized for now, and the farewell ceremony has been successfully completed."

Director Wang jogged after me, his face contorted with worry, and said, "But...you know, Li Hongmei's memorial service is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Can your...sleight of hand hold out until then?"

I did not answer; the answer is no.

The previous methods were only emergency measures.

Pushing open the morgue door, I walked to the morgue table, put down my toolbox and umbrella, and lifted the white sheet covering Lin Tiantian.

The body was still in the same position I had stitched up that morning; it appeared perfectly intact.

But when I gently pressed the stitches on my chest, my fingertips immediately felt a slight loosening.

This technique is like using super glue; it's fast, but it's not a long-term solution.

As the malevolent energy I left behind gradually dissipated, the skin and flesh began to show signs of separation.

If the body isn't thoroughly disposed of, it could very well shatter on the spot if it gets heated or moved during tomorrow's memorial service. The sight... I just don't want to think about it.

"Don't worry, Director."

I turned around, took the yellow cloth package out of my bag, and placed it on the counter. "Once you've dealt with the family members, that's fine. Now, leave the rest to me."

Although Director Wang didn't know what was in the package, seeing my determined look, he could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll go back to guard outside and not let anyone in!"

As the heavy iron door closed again, only I and this cold corpse remained in the morgue.

I took a deep breath and opened the yellow cloth package.

The heart was still lying intact in the yellow cloth, and it was even beating strangely at this moment.

Looking up, I saw several wisps of black energy swirling around the heart, constantly writhing.

This is the "Heart-Piercing Curse".

Although the man with the yin-yang face was dead, the evil magic he left in his heart did not completely dissipate.

If you stuff it back into the chest cavity like that, it will not only fail to integrate with the corpse, but will also explode due to the clash of yin and yang.

The evil influence must be dispelled first.

"I'm sorry."

I murmured a phrase and took a specially made silver needle from the toolbox.

This needle is twice as long as a regular mortem needle, and a red string is tied to the end of the needle.

It is a special item used to dispel negative energy and evil spirits.

I made a hand gesture with my left hand and pressed it against the aorta of my heart, while holding the needle in my right hand. My gaze instantly sharpened.

"Heaven is round, earth is square; laws and decrees are in nine chapters. Malevolent energy transforms into needles, dispelling evil and averting calamity!"

As soon as I finished reciting the incantation, the evil energy within my body surged into my fingertips and pierced my heart through the silver needle.

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

The moment the silver needle pierced his heart, it clenched violently and made a sound.

The black mist clinging to the surface seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, frantically trying to escape, but it was firmly locked in place by my malevolent energy.

My hands kept moving, and I gently twisted the end of the needle with my fingers.

Suddenly, the heart jolted violently, and then a stream of black, unidentified liquid gushed out from the needle hole.

The liquid landed on the stainless steel tray and instantly corroded several small pits.

As the black blood was drained, the heart gradually returned to the grayish-white color that dead flesh should have, and the evil aura attached to it also dissipated.

I breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the silver needles.

The hardest step has been completed.

Next came the actual sewing of the corpse.
