What exactly was the "Special Class One"?
Sun Liren, who had served as the deputy director for over a decade, knew only too well.
The warehouse of the Religious Affairs Bureau was different from other storage facilities. It housed a vast array of magical tools and prohibitions either surrendered or confiscated from various religious sects, a veritable hodgepodge.
Among them were the "Ordinary Class", the "Dangerous Class", the "Harmful Class", and this "Special Class One".
As the name implied, the items in the "Ordinary Class" were harmless, such as talismans and magical tools.
The "Dangerous Class" contained imprisoned ghosts and demons. If set loose in the world, they would pose a threat to human lives.
The items in the "Harmful Class" not only endangered human lives but could also turn an entire region into a desolate wasteland.
The so - called "Special Class One" was even more terrifying than the items in the Harmful Class. Once released, it would be like a box containing a demon, bringing calamity to countless living beings! Just like an atomic bomb or Ebola...
However, according to that woman surnamed Lin, it was something that could grant immortality. How could it possibly be labeled as extremely dangerous?
Sun Liren was extremely curious about this "Special Class One". He dialed the number given by the woman surnamed Lin.
The woman surnamed Lin scoffed at his question. Wasn't immortality extremely dangerous?
Who on earth was worthy of such a privilege?!
Sun Liren thought her reasoning was flawed, but his curiosity was overwhelming. He felt as if he was on the verge of ascending to a higher level, just one crucial step away!!
"…Mr. Si!! What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to pull a scam in the Religious Affairs Bureau?"
Sun Liren was jolted back to reality by Du Peiyun's slap. He didn't have the Heavenly Eye and couldn't see ghosts!
Moreover, Du Peiyun, the clan leader of the Du family, had assured him that the ghosts of that couple had been completely eradicated by his talismans. How could they be found just by a trip to the underworld?!
Thinking of this, Sun Liren suddenly realized that there was only one truth: Si Jiangchen was pulling a trick, and unfortunately... he had fallen for it.
He decided to be stubborn and flat - out deny it!!
Si Jiangchen looked at the faint figure in the bottle, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"Clan Leader Du, what kind of medicine did you give Lin Shuya?"
I suddenly noticed that Si Jiangchen had stopped calling Lin Shuya "sister"…
What was going on?!!
I couldn't help but look up at him.
Du Peiyun on the other side also wore a forced smile. "It's the Corpse - Controlling Pill!"
"The Corpse - Controlling Pill?!"
Two people in the room screamed simultaneously.
One was Wei Yuan, that naive rich kid. He always thought his mother had good skin - care and her appearance hadn't changed much over the years. He had no idea that Lin Shuya was a living corpse that had survived a thunder tribulation!!
The other screamer was Wei Wenzhao. He had always suspected that there was something wrong with his wife!
But when they had their marital life, he didn't think she was a corpse... Although Lin Shuya had no interest in him, she always made him wear a condom during sex. They hadn't even kissed in all their years of marriage! Lin Shuya said she had a cleanliness fetish and couldn't stand a man's body fluids entering hers. For this reason, she allowed Wei Wenzhao to keep a mistress outside and even took the mistress's son as her own.
As for the woman who had endured ten months of pregnancy to give birth to that son, Lin Shuya only had to snap her fingers, and she disappeared without a trace from this world!!
Wei Wenzhao didn't even bother to ask where that poor woman had gone!
Because Lin Shuya was the sky of the family! The money Wei Wenzhao used to buy land and buildings before he made his fortune all came from Lin Shuya!
Now, hearing Du Peiyun say that the woman he had slept with for decades was actually a zombie, how could he not feel disgusted and terrified?!!
"No wonder the Du family has been in the business of corpse - driving for so many years. It all boils down to this thing!"
Si Jiangchen showed no sign of surprise. "You control the remaining soul and spirit sealed within her and use her for your own ends, right?"
"Mr. Si, don't put it like that. The Corpse - Controlling Pill also has the function of anti - decay!"
Du Peiyun said sinisterly, "Ms. Lin begged me many times. I was really reluctant... If it weren't for Mr. Si's great influence, I wouldn't have given it to her!"
Saying so, he made a sword - finger gesture with his right hand and gave a "rise" command to Lin Shuya, who was lying face - up on the ground.
Suddenly, Lin Shuya shot up from the ground like a doll in a jack - in - the - box.
"Mom!"
Wei Yuan called out instinctively, but was immediately silenced by Feng Qianqian covering his mouth from behind.
Because upon hearing the sound, Lin Shuya suddenly turned her head. Her blood - red eyes were unfocused, and her nostrils flared like a hungry wolf hunting for prey!!
Wei Wenzhao, who had noticed something amiss, scrambled behind Si Jiangchen and me, covering his mouth tightly and not daring to make a sound.
"Charge forward!"
Du Peiyun's voice rang out again. With his command, Lin Shuya flipped over and bounced high into the air like a spring - loaded toy, lunging towards Si Jiangchen and me. The stench from her flesh reached my nostrils.
"Lin Fangyu, all those who framed you are here today!"
Si Jiangchen casually handed the porcelain bottle to me. "Watch me avenge you and your wife!"
When the porcelain bottle landed in my hands, the faint shadow still wore a gentle smile as it looked at us. As if hearing Si Jiangchen's words, it swayed slightly. But I finally realized... it was a fake! There seemed to be a holographic projector in the bottle, and what was projected was just an image of Lin Fangyu in his lifetime.
Si Jiangchen was good at tricks!
He was also a good fighter!
Now, Lin Shuya was truly like a zombie with stiff limbs. Her arms were outstretched, and her ten fingers were like dry twigs, stabbing towards my face. But Si Jiangchen's finger suddenly drew a circle and slapped directly on Lin Shuya's glabella, just like the Yin - Yang fish in the Taiji diagram!
"Wow!"
Lin Shuya's body jolted for a moment, and then she spat out a mouthful of stinking black blood.
Du Peiyun's face instantly turned ugly. He flicked his fingers repeatedly, trying to control Lin Shuya again, but Lin Shuya stood there like a large toy that had lost its signal.
"…Uh… Uh…"
There was a gurgling sound in Lin Shuya's throat, as if it was stuffed with cotton. After a couple of grunts, her blood - shot eyes rolled. "A… Achen, save me…"
It turned out that the black blood was the so - called Corpse - Controlling Pill, which Si Jiangchen had forced out.
Lin Shuya no longer had the elegance of a noblewoman. Her face was covered with ulcerated skin oozing yellow fluid, and thick black blood dripped from her mouth. Wrinkles had instantly spread across her forehead and the corners of her eyes.
"Lin Shuya, ever since I found out about your collusion with Sun Liren, I'm no longer your adopted brother."
Si Jiangchen looked at Lin Shuya, his tone icy cold.
"Achen, sis did it under duress. Sis had no choice!!" As Lin Shuya let out a miserable scream, several teeth fell out of her mouth and onto the ground.
