Chapter 87 Everyone Has Worms in Their Bodies

Hearing her scream, Zhan Yujun's companion rushed over to check on her. "Xiaojun, what happened... Ah! Someone's dead!"

Just as she was about to come over, the man in the cubicle pounced straight at Zhan Yujun.

"Don't come any closer, get out of here!"

Zhan Yujun shoved her companion aside and turned to run out of the restroom, but the man jumped behind her with a bang, his pale hands covered in black fingernails, and grabbed her neck from behind.

"Ah! Help, help me...!"

Zhan Yujun's face quickly turned blue from being choked, she couldn't breathe, and her legs were lifted off the ground.

This man was the third body that went missing from the crematorium. He picked up Zhan Yujun and was about to jump out of the window when a golden light appeared behind him.

A talisman radiating golden light was affixed to the back of the corpse's head, instantly immobilizing him, leaving him standing stiffly in place.

Yun Shu came over, first rescued Zhan Yujun, and then took out a knife to dig out the corpse worm from the corpse's knee.

After the corpse-eating insects were removed from the body, the person behind it could no longer control the corpse.

“Yun Shu…”

Zhan Yujun gasped for breath. Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, she vaguely guessed that her encounter with this matter was related to that safe.

Zhan Yujun looked at Yun Shu with a guilty expression, "Yun Shu, I'm...I'm sorry, I lied just now. It was indeed me who found President Lu's safe."

I originally went to see President Mu to tell him about this. But I overheard you saying outside the office that there were many valuables in the safe, and my family urgently needs the money, so... I hesitated... I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Zhan Yujun kept apologizing to Yun Shu, "I'm sorry, I said those things to you, but you still saved me."

Yun Shu looked at her coldly, "I just want to know where the safe is. Something so obvious, you couldn't possibly bring it into the company without being discovered, so you hid it outside?"

"……yes."

Zhan Yujun said, "The safe is too heavy for me to move, so I moved it to a more secluded place. I can take you there."

"I'll go find Mu Qing first, and you can take us there later."

"good!"

Mu Qing, who was monitoring the surveillance footage, spotted Chen Zhihong and had his bodyguards arrest him. Yun Shu went to find him first.

Seeing that Yun Shu had come out safely, the companion who had been pushed out by Zhan Yujun dared to come in to find her.

"Xiao Jun, that thing... ahh!"

Upon entering, one sees a corpse lying on the ground with two bloody holes in its knees, its eyes staring at the ceiling, looking as if it died with its eyes wide open.

"Go out first."

Zhan Yujun quickly pulled her out, and then she took the maintenance sign next to the bathroom and used it to block the doorway so that anyone coming in wouldn't be startled.

"Xiao Jun, is that a dead person? How did he die in the women's restroom, and why is a dead person still moving! Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, thanks to Yun Shu. I'm going to find her now, you go back to the practice room first."

Zhan Yujun was about to go find Yun Shu when she took a few steps forward and then stopped and said to the girl, "Stop talking bad about Yun Shu. She has real talent, which is why she's so popular online."

Yun Shu went to the security room, where she saw Chen Zhihong bound hand and foot, and knew that he was not a Gu master who made corpse Gu.

Chen Zhihong was shouting inside, "Let me go! I was just passing by your company, this is illegal imprisonment, I'm calling the police if you don't let me go!"

"Fine, go ahead and call the police. Stealing a corpse from the crematorium is enough to get you a prison sentence. And manipulating a corpse to steal things from someone else's house makes it even more serious!"

When Chen Zhihong saw Yun Shu, he clearly recognized her, and his expression became somewhat evasive. "Don't slander me! A corpse is a dead person, how could it possibly steal things? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Yun Shu sneered, "You used to work at the crematorium. As soon as that body was thrown away, you disappeared and appeared here. What are you pretending for?"

Chen Zhihong's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent.

Yun Shu took out a porcelain bottle and said, "These are the Gu worms that controlled your corpse. As a friendly reminder, someone has also planted worms in your body. If you don't want to die, tell me your purpose for stealing the safe, and who gave you these Gu worms?"

"What? I have it in my body too... No, that's impossible!"

Why would I lie to you?

Yun Shu said with amusement, "The fact that I was able to extract the Gu worms from the corpse means that I recognize these Gu worms and know who made them."

Based on what I know of that person, he never leaves anyone alive after using the Gu worms on them; everyone who comes into contact with them dies! The whole story about the online streamer and his family being eaten by worms that caused such a stir online was his doing.

Chen Zhihong knew about that news. At the time, the police even found the murderer, but it turned out that the murderer was also eaten by insects!

His eyes were filled with fear, and his face was deathly pale as he said to Yun Shu, "Then...then if you can get the worms out of the corpse, can you also get the worms out of my body? Please save me, please save me, I'll tell you everything!"

At this moment, Yun Shu saw Zhan Yujun coming over, so she asked Mu Qing to go with her to get the safe.

Yun Shu then looked at Chen Zhihong and said, "Then answer my question first."

"The boss of Shengtong Group asked me to do this, and he also gave me the bugs. It's said that he bought them from a master at a high price. The reason for stealing the safe was the contracts inside. Shengtong Group has construction projects with these three companies, but some problems have arisen, making delivery impossible. Shengtong Group estimates that it will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

The big boss gave me this bug and told me to use corpses to steal contracts and destroy them. Even if the surveillance cameras captured who stole them, those people are already dead, and the police won't be able to trace it back to us.

Chen Zhihong said with a mournful face, "I already told you, please save me, help me get the bugs out!"

Yun Shu glanced at him, called the police first, and then said, "The police will be here soon. Explain to the police about stealing the corpse and who instructed you, and I will save you."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"

Chen Zhihong readily agreed. He thought that he was stealing a corpse, not killing someone. It was better to be sentenced to prison and come out as a hero after a few years than to die!

Before long, the police arrived, and Chen Zhihong told them everything.

"Miss Yun, I've already told you, please save me!"

Chen Zhihong's mind was filled with images of that streamer named Zheng being eaten by insects. "I feel so cold and itchy all over. Am I going to die?"

Yun Shu, however, replied, "That's a hallucination caused by your nervous tension. The kind of worm in your body wouldn't cause this symptom."

Chen Zhihong asked, trembling, "What kind of worm is inside my body? How much longer can I live?"

Yun Shu smiled slightly, "Roundworms."

Chen Zhihong: ?

Others: ...

Chen Zhihong was taken away by the police, and his body was also taken away by the police. They will send it back to the crematorium, and they still need to go to the crematorium to check on it.

Yun Shu sat in the police car; she also had to go to the crematorium to discuss her compensation.

The crematorium had previously contacted her to help find a body, but now they've lost three bodies, and she's helped find them all. Naturally, the price is different for each body.

Sitting in the police car, Yun Shu heard a policeman in the front seat say, "Since we're going to the crematorium anyway, let's have someone bring the victim of that face-slashing murder case over there. There's a very skilled mortician there; let's see if he can help restore the victim's face."
