I could only pretend I didn't see them, squatting down in front of the corpse. Then I reached out and slowly pulled down the white cloth covering it. This process seemed simple, but my palms were sweating. Many female employees nearby screamed in shock, and some even covered their faces, not daring to look.
"The body is intact, so he must have died from falling from a high altitude, right?" I asked Su Xiaoniu in my heart.
Su Xiaoniu hesitated and said, "Based on preliminary judgment, he did die from falling from a high altitude. But... try pinching the jaws of the corpse with both hands."
I didn't quite understand Su Xiaoniu's intention, but I did as she said. I reached out and pinched the corpse's jaws, but the corpse obediently opened its mouth. Then I saw a black maggot crawling out of the corpse's mouth...
I almost died of disgust!
"That's right," Su Xiaoniu said solemnly, "You're familiar with these maggots. They're Huo Yan's ghost pupae. So, there's no doubt about it. Huo Yan controlled the ghost pupae, making them move simultaneously. Once they moved, they controlled the human brain nerves, causing unconsciousness. Although they didn't eat the corpse's brain, they did induce mass suicide."
What Su Xiaoniu said was exactly what I thought. I opened the mouths of these corpses one by one and took a look. A ghost pupa crawled out of the mouth of each corpse. Su Xiaoniu asked me to drip yang blood on the ghost pupae, and these ghost pupae disappeared in an instant.
"Back then, I only saved your secret crush, Zhao Xi, but didn't have time to help the company's employees expel the ghost pupae from their bodies. Huo Yan hasn't taken any action these days, and I thought she'd forgotten about the ghost pupae. But I didn't expect..." Su Xiaoniu pondered for a moment, then said in confusion, "The company was calm before the storm. It seems that this storm has grown stronger and spread throughout the company."
I frowned and asked, "Is there any way to stop her? Or should we first help these employees expel the ghost pupae from their bodies to prevent such mass suicides from happening again?"
Su Xiaoniu thought for a moment and said, "No... With your limited abilities, helping them exorcise the ghost pupae would be a waste of time. Besides, I have a feeling Huo Yan's motive for killing this time is not simple. - You have to keep an eye on Ning Xue. This little girl has a physique that is very popular with ghosts. I suspect Huo Yan's target will be Ning Xue. Of course, this is just my guess."
I nodded in understanding. I knew that Ning Xue's "Evil Yin" physique was very popular with ghosts, although I still hadn't figured out what the "Evil Yin" physique was...
"What are you doing? You don't even let the dead go?" Suddenly, a group of people came from the front. When they saw me lifting the white cloth on each corpse and touching the corpses, they rushed up to me and wanted to beat me.
Shit, I quickly took two steps back and said, "No... I just wanted to see why they committed mass suicide."
"You know nothing!" Just as this group of people were about to do something to me, someone suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
The crowd dispersed, and a young and handsome man walked over. When these people saw him, they all bowed their heads and called out, "Hello, Young Master!"
Young Master? Isn't that Huo Yan's son, Huo Liang? I subconsciously looked this man up and down. He was wearing a small black suit, with short hair and sharp eyes. He was well-dressed and had noble manners. He was indeed a handsome man.
No wonder some of the nearby female employees looked so obsessed when they saw him. I wanted to pinch the young master's face. At this time, Ning Xue, Zhao Xi, and Yu Jie also ran over. I noticed that Zhao Xi looked at the young master with a hint of tenderness and affection. Damn, my heart shattered like shards of glass in an instant.
Ning Xue, on the other hand, was as calm as ever. The way she looked at the young master was almost the same as usual, without even the mischievous look she had when she looked at me.
"Young Master." Ning Xue and others greeted Huo Liang.
Huo Liang smiled and nodded to them, then looked at me and asked, "My friend, you just said you were looking at why they committed suicide, right?"
I nodded.
"Did you see anything?" Huo Liang looked at me puzzled.
I hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "I've found out."
Huo Liang's eyes lit up: "Oh? What's the reason?"
I glanced at Ning Xue beside me, then at Zhao Xi, and said, "This situation is actually the same as when Zhao Xi was possessed..."
I told Huo Liang and the others about the ghost pupa, but I didn't mention anything disgusting like maggots, or else Zhao Xi would have fainted again... Besides that, I didn't mention the name "Huo Yan." After all, Huo Liang is Huo Yan's son. If I had directly said Huo Yan did it, who knows what Huo Liang would have thought of me.
However, I still noticed that Huo Liang's eyes changed slightly.
