Chapter 279 The Loss Leading to Gain

    Hands stopped abruptly, stopping right in front of Yu Xiu's forehead.

    The hand that Yu Xiu pulled my clothes with is no longer four fingers... but a complete five fingers.

    There is no trace of splicing, as if he were born with five fingers.

    "He ran." The sound of an empty and silent voice came from Yu Xiu's mouth.

    A slight twitch in my heart.

    Because I noticed a detail...

    Yu Xiu had no injuries.

    Spots of blood, just blood, even her clothes were not damaged.

    Those blood... are they from the Ninth Elder?

    Especially what Yu Xiu said, he ran...

    With the nine elder's previous bold personality, will he run?

    Unless he is not a match for Yu Xiu, he would definitely have killed Yu Xiu!

    Lao Qin Head has left me a very odd afterthought...

    No head woman is already very scary...

    This Yu Xiu is even more terrifying!

    What makes my heart even more oppressed is that the headless woman helped me because her skeleton, Zhi Yao Yao, and I had signed a marriage contract.

    The marriage contract between a living person and a dead person is strange and terrifying.

    Old Qin's head has planted endless pitfalls for me with this method.

    What about Yu Xiu?

    What has she done to Yu Xiu?

    Could there also be some sort of marriage agreement involved with Yu Xiu?

    Xu Nuan has a marriage agreement... Zhi Yao Yao's marriage agreement...

    This Yu Xiu...

    "Go out... he, is about to wake up..." Yu Xiu spoke again, her words were similar to what Lao Gong had said!

    Yu Xiu herself is strange and unusual, she doesn't seem like a person during the day and night, she knows a lot of things.

    Now that she reveals this, I don't feel strange about it.

    And it seems like Yu Xiu is following me, to judge by the situation.

    Putting aside my thoughts, I walked towards the back door of the mortuary again.

    Indeed, Yu Xiu followed me.

    Shortly afterwards, we entered the mortuary through the back door and passed a row of flat rooms.

    When we arrived at the front of the mortuary, the door was empty and open.

    Boom!

    A deafening, thunderous sound.

    Even the ground shook and trembled!

    I was carrying Han Qi, almost losing my footing.

    Taking a deep breath and using lightness in my movements, I steadied myself.

    The shaking didn't last long, and it quickly calmed down.

    I turned around and looked back, but from this position and angle, I couldn't see the situation on the hill at all.

    Unconsciously, Lao Gong had long since disappeared into the night pot.

    Yu Xiu still followed me, looking dumb and not saying a word.

    My eyes fell on the position of the security room.

    The door was open, and the old man was back to me, facing the photos of the deceased and the altar inside.

    My heart skipped a beat, and I walked towards him.

    So decisively listening to Lao Gong's advice and leaving the hill was because I remembered what the old man had told me and Han Qi.

    He was going to take out the thing that controlled the spirits of retribution!

    Opportunity knocks but once, seize it if you can!

    Although I failed to calculate Sun Zhuo from the supervising venue.

    But if I can get the thing that controls the spirits of retribution here, it would be another kind of underdog victory for me!

    As long as I can control the spirits of retribution, perhaps, I don't need Wu Zhongkuan to wake up.

    After all, Zhi Yao Yao, the Corpse Fairy, is just a Corpse. Her soul is not yet complete.

    With a few steps, I reached the door.

    I whispered a sentence and called him old man.

    After all, I had previously misunderstood and shaved his head, so now I definitely needed to have a proper conversation.

    However, he didn't make a sound in response.

    For a few seconds, I carefully observed his body and found that his body had no movement at all...

    For a moment, I fell silent.

    As I approached the old man's side, I saw his face.

    The dry, yellow skin had no color, his eyes were open, looking at the photograph in front of him with a hollow expression.

    His mouth was slightly open, revealing his dry and yellow teeth.

    But the old man's mouth was curved into a faint smile.

    He died smiling.

    In his hands was something he was holding.

    It was a bracelet, dark red all over, somewhat resembling the vine of the chicken blood tree.

    A faint green gas was circulating on the bracelet.

    My breathing quickened instantly, I took the bracelet from his hand, the coldness swept over me at once, causing a chill.

    Suddenly, I felt as if I had been stared at by someone!

    Lao Gong once again emerged from the night pot, staring directly at the bracelet without speaking, seemingly deep in thought.

    I glanced at Yu Xiu, she too had no reaction.

    Letting out a soft breath, I did not wear the bracelet close to my body, but instead put it on my wrist and covered it with my sleeve.

    I don't know what this bracelet is for, but it definitely has something to do with the retribution ghost.

    I looked at the photo again.

    The man's face without expression was filled with deathly silence.

    My gaze fell back to the old man, and my thoughts were somewhat complex.

    The old man had guarded his younger brother for so many years, always thinking of using others to bring out this item, but in the end, it was still him who made the move.

    Without any further delay, I turned and hurried towards the main road of Qi Village.

    There were no further surprises along the way.

    When I arrived at the intersection, the road ahead was blurry. By shouting to Lao Gong, he would pass by.

    The blurry road became clear, and I saw Zhang Xu at a glance.

    I saw him, and he saw me too. His face was ashen, looking very unwell.

    "Guo Xianshen!"

    A deep voice, filled with reprimand!

    In the next moment, Zhang Xu's face stiffened, and he staring at me with a fixed expression!

    Two seconds later, he glanced over at Yu Xiu next to me. Besides a slight suspicion, he didn't show any abnormal expression.

    I didn't say anything, just directly walked out of the fork in the road.

    Zhang Xu's gaze returned to Han Qi's body.

    His lips trembled slightly, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

    "Han apprentice..."

    Not just his eyes, his tone was also the same sorrowful.

    It's clear at a glance that Han Qi's identity is definitely not low!

    Of course, being the son and apprentice of Han Zizi, Han Qi's identity is not ordinary. With the finding of the item that controls the spirits of retribution as his quest, Han Qi himself is far from average.

    Zhang Xu's gaze on me had changed.

    His eyes showed a few deep thoughts, as if he had suddenly grasped something.

    "Have you met Elder Han, have you seen your cousin Sun Zhuo?" Zhang Xu asked me directly.

    "No." My tone was very light.

    "Hmm?" Clearly, there was doubt in Zhang Xu's eyes.

    "Uncle Han is now a living corpse fiend. The jade hairpin he gave me as a token was the first time I met him in Qi Village."

    "Elder Han is looking for Uncle Han. However, the retribution ghost here messed things up, and he was led to a different place. Sun Zhuo was also led there."

    "I found Uncle Han, but he has been struck down again," I said in a low voice.

    "Poisonous hands!?" Zhang Xu's gaze turned towards Han Qi's chest.

    His face instantly turned dark: "Who else is here? Who cast the spell?"

    Straightforward and straightforward as Zhang Xu is, he didn't suspect me at all.

    Although I didn't tell the whole truth, I did mention some of it.

    I paused and replied: "The people from Guikan, but the other party is the elder of Tian Shou Dao Yuan, ranked ninth."

    "Wow!"

    Zhang Xu took a deep breath of cold air!
