"That young man from over 20 years ago, his right hand was very dexterous, and he could even do math, just like my daughter used to be. He was skillful with his right hand, and he could embroider very well!"

"That man from over ten years ago had a strong left leg and walked steadily!"

"And that old lady, although her right leg is old, she has walked a lot in her younger years and is very resilient. I hope my daughter can be a little more resilient."

"And there's that young man from eight years ago. He has strong kidney energy and isn't afraid of staying up all night. My daughter is weak, so he can help her replenish her energy."

"The last girl, Zhang Wei, is very smart and studies law. My daughter is also smart. If we hadn't had the opportunity to go to school back then, she would definitely have been able to go to university. And she looks the most like Xiuxiu when she was little!"

As he said this, two tears welled up in the old man's cloudy eyes.

He reached out his rough hand and stroked Zhang Wei's cheek, as if he were looking at his own daughter.

Now I finally understand why Zhang Wei would wear such an outdated hairstyle!

The old man must have treated him like his own daughter and personally braided his hair.

The old man's series of pronouncements clearly indicated that he had fallen into paranoia.

"The organs you chose for your daughter are both male and female, and of different lengths. Even if she were to be resurrected using these organs, she would still be a deformed person!"

Zhang Qiang shouted coldly.

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly turned his face, a hint of anger on his face.

"What do you know? This spell can't be as simple as you say. What will return will all be my daughter's organs! It's just that by incorporating their characteristics, it can make my daughter even more perfect!"

After hearing his words, I felt both absurd and saddened.

"You're insane!" I finally managed to utter those words, my voice heavy. "For your daughter's sake, you've killed so many people, destroyed so many families. If your daughter knew, would she want to live like this?!"

My words seemed to have hit a nerve, and he waved his hand abruptly.

"My daughter will never know. She will simply come back to life in ignorance, retaining her innocence and happiness, and continue to live on!"

"You underestimate the police these days. A living, breathing person just appeared out of nowhere, with the same name and appearance as someone in a case file from years ago. Do you really think the police are just sitting around doing nothing?!"

Zhang Qiang felt that the old man was treating the police like good-for-nothings, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Besides, your daughter has no survival skills whatsoever. Do you really think she can live well in this city? She doesn't even have any relatives. Living in this world, she will only feel lonely, desperate, and in pain!"

Upon hearing Zhang Qiang's words, the old man's eyes darted around, and he did not give him a direct answer.

I raised an eyebrow. What Zhang Qiang said was very realistic. This old man was shrewd; he couldn't have missed that.

"I know now. You killed so many people and secretly amassed a lot of wealth for your daughter!"

"I... I didn't want to harm them, and it wasn't for financial gain!"

The old man suddenly turned to look at me, his eyes bloodshot, and he excitedly defended himself.

“They were destined for this calamity! I only took the excess parts of them that would be useful to my daughter. They had no use for that money anyway, so I left it to my daughter. Only if my daughter lives well will their deaths not have been in vain!”

My lips twitched. This old man was completely obsessed; reasoning with him was utterly useless!

He had long since fallen into the twisted logic he had constructed himself!

Looking at his withered face, I knew he must have suffered terribly all these years!

But then I thought of the organs from different victims on the earthen platform outside, and I couldn't feel any sympathy for him at all.

Perhaps he deserved everything he suffered.

“Zhou Fuquan,” I began slowly, my voice ringing out clearly in the narrow stone chamber.

"This heaven-defying ritual is doomed to fail! The dead cannot be brought back to life, and what is pieced together with this evil magic will not be your daughter, but only a monster filled with resentment and pain. Stop!"

"No! It can succeed, otherwise why would that person keep collecting them!"

"Moreover, under my severe interrogation, he assured me with absolute certainty that there were precedents of this kind of evil magic being successfully performed!"

The old man was clearly insane.

I couldn't help but twitch my lips.

When he caught that person, he vented all the hatred in his heart, and that person was tortured terribly!

Moreover, the man could only say what the old man wanted him to say. If he said that the evil magic could not succeed, the old man would torture him to death in no time!

Most importantly, even if it weren't out of fear of the old man's torture, but simply to retaliate against the old man's torment, that person would probably deliberately lead the old man to continue this evil magic!

Because this evil magic will ultimately harm both oneself and others.

It was that person who sought revenge against Zhou Fuquan.

"You will no longer have the chance to continue this evil magic. We will not let you kill anyone again!"

Zhang Qiang spoke each word clearly, his voice extremely cold, his finger gripping the pistol pointed at the old man's head, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't harm anyone else anymore, because I will fill the final gap in this ceremony!"

The old man's lips curled into a strange smile.

"Whose heart could be more suitable than mine, as Xiuxiu's father, with whom her blood and sweat are intertwined!"

Upon hearing the old man's words, the four of us were immediately horrified!

This old man is absolutely insane; he actually wants to sacrifice himself as well.

I suddenly realized what he meant when he said he would also pay the price!

So, this old man had no intention of living any longer today!

A desperate, mad look appeared on his face. He suddenly pulled out a pair of rusty old scissors from his pocket, which were stained with a strong sense of gloom and the smell of blood, and pointed them at his chest.

"Xiuxiu!"

The old man roared as the rusty scissors pierced his chest, and blood soaked his clothes.

"Stop him!"

Zhang Qiang shouted and was about to rush over, but I quickly grabbed him.

He turned his head, his face full of confusion.

Just as I said, this kind of evil magic could never summon his daughter; who knows what kind of monster it could be!

If we don't stop it now, when will we?!

I shook my head at him and said with a wry smile:

"This old man dared to let us in; do you think he wouldn't have anything to rely on?!"

"He set up a formation beforehand, and his aura is connected to the entire stone chamber. If you rush in rashly, you will suffer a terrible fate!"

"So we can only watch helplessly as he completes this evil ritual?"

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened, and he asked eagerly.
