The foreign invaders were beaten back repeatedly, and Cheng Wen became increasingly silent. He accepted Su Yi's former job and realized that his corpse guard had experienced so much...

He didn't know when it started, but he had learned a lot from Su Yi's heart. However, he also became less and less fond of conversations. It was really too tiring to explore people's hearts...

"Brother, do you know where Tang Yansheng has gone again?" Cheng Xi was playing with the new hairpin. She suddenly realized yesterday that she hadn't seen Tang Yansheng for three months, and the servants in the house didn't let her go out, so she ran away secretly.

Cheng Wen thought for a moment and said, "She has been under suspicion recently and should be detained in the store."

To be honest, he didn't know whether it was reliable to tell Cheng Xi this news, because Tang Yansheng had asked him some questions.

About three months ago——————

"Young Master Cheng, if you eat a human heart, will you fall in love with that person?" Tang Yansheng put the latest information on the table.

Cheng Wen raised his eyes, "What is love?"

He has a heart, but he still can't learn human emotions.

Tang Yansheng was also stunned for a moment, only to hear Cheng Wen continue, "There are many ways to be contaminated by the secular world. One is to let the zombie kill someone, but the zombie will soon be punished. Another is to let the zombie eat the person's heart, which will then connect the zombie to that person for generations to come."

The reason why Cheng Wen told Tang Yansheng was because he didn't think Cheng Xi would kill anyone, and he didn't think Cheng Xi would be contaminated by worldly things.

Besides, Tang Yansheng was really good to Cheng Xi, and it would be even better if he could become Cheng Xi's corpse keeper.

Tang Yansheng: "Will there be danger?"

"No," Cheng Wen put down the documents and pushed the cradle beside him. A ball of flesh lay quietly inside. "Even if Xiaoxi falls, she will become a Yin body. And only humans are willing to dig out their hearts and let zombies eat them, or zombies are willing to fall. Otherwise, zombies will not fall. Besides, zombies will act as middlemen, so how can they die so easily? However, she will be forever trapped outside the Three Realms and can never escape."

Tang Yansheng nodded and left without saying anything else. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

——————————

After hearing about Tang Yansheng coming to find Cheng Wen, Cheng Xi felt strange, so she went to Tang Yansheng's shop. There were some customers in the shop, but Cheng Xi felt something was strange. The ordinary servants recognized her and welcomed her into the lounge in the back.

"Where is Tang Yansheng?" Cheng Xi took a sip of water.

The servant said nervously, "Miss, please quickly climb over the wall and leave! There are officers outside. They took Miss Tang away and never came back..."

The servant took out a beautiful oil-paper umbrella from the drawer and said, "This was made by Miss Tang, but it's not finished yet. She said it's for you."

The servant opened a passage along the wall and said, "Go in through here and you can leave."

The passage was pitch black. Cheng Xi was still digesting the news he had just received. Tang Yansheng had been captured? Why hadn't he revealed anything? And why hadn't he asked for help?

And she smelled blood coming from that passage, which obviously did not lead to the back wall.

But it looks quite interesting.

Seeing Cheng Xi walk in obediently, the servant breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the front yard to report.

The further you go inside, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

"Hey, you're here?"

Cheng Xi walked to the deepest part and saw a greasy fat man sitting on a stool, with soldiers holding guns beside him.

But Cheng Xi didn't pay attention to these. She saw Tang Yansheng tied to the cross.

"Hey! Tang Yansheng!" Cheng Xi ignored the fat man. The fat man's eyes were glued to her, making her feel sick.

Tang Yansheng was already dead. His heart had been stabbed countless times, leaving only flesh. His face was also scraped beyond recognition, but Tang Yansheng still recognized him.

"Did you stab her heart?" Cheng Xi tapped Tang Yansheng's forehead, but Tang Yansheng's body did not move.

The fat man took off his gloves and threw them at Cheng Xi. "She stabbed her face and heart herself. We only pulled out her nails and dug out her eyes. Who knew she would go crazy and pierce her own heart with this?"

It looks like the ancient times when the emperor would file a complaint against someone, using a spiked board, but this board has even more spikes...

"You're being too sentimental." Cheng Xi put Tang Yansheng down and put the umbrella aside.

The officer pointed his gun at Cheng Xi. The fat man stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "My dear, if you tell me the information about your brother..."

Before the fat man could finish his words, he was thrown against the wall, his flesh and blood exploding...
