Chapter 101: Inn Waiter
The next day, the friend came to Tao Zi with a nervous look. After he repeatedly beckoned her, Tao Zi rarely left the pharmacy.
"Junior Sister Tao." He changed the address to be more familiar, and said, "I did a good deed, and I want to ask you for a reward."
"What reward?"
Li Xiu's friend said with a sly look on his face, "I want to know what this corpse plague is."
"What's up?"
His eyes suddenly became bright, knowing that Tao Zi had given his permission, and he said, "It's nothing, I just asked someone to keep an eye on those mentally ill colleagues, and also sent a message to the guards."
He cleared his throat and said in a cold tone, "If you don't report Doctor Xu, his family will have time to escape, but your family will pay with their lives. If you choose to report him, his family will not be able to escape."
Tao Zi raised an eyebrow and looked at him. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Tao, this way, the life and death of Doctor Xu's family is completely linked to them. They can experience the feeling of being threatened by someone close to them without any luck. Am I awesome?"
Indeed, this would allow those people to give up a certain kind of fluke mentality, for example - Dr. Xu's family must die, and it doesn't matter whether they report it or not.
But the prerequisite is that this person really has such power and can control the life and death of those people.
Seeing Tao Zi's questioning expression, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Senior Sister Tao, don't doubt me, I really have this ability."
"Since you have such ability, why don't you let the people from the Nine Turning Gate come over?"
He sighed and said gloomily, "My patron went to attend the succession ceremony of the eldest senior brother of Minglan Sect. The people who stayed behind in the sect don't get along with him, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
"Ceremony of succession?" Tao Zi was quite surprised. The speed was really fast.
"Yes, I will take over the position of Young Sect Master."
Seeing that Tao Zi seemed to want to deviate from the topic, he coughed very forcefully a few times to remind Tao Zi of what they had agreed upon before.
Tao Zi regained her composure and explained, "Rather than calling it corpse plague, a more accurate term would be corpse demonization. It originates from mid- to high-level corpse demons. For mortals, once infected, there's a certain chance they'll become corpse demons."
His pupils constricted. "How is that possible? Can corpse demons be infected?"
"Not only can it be infected, it can also be artificially created." When she said this, her tone was very calm, but his expression became solemn.
"The sign of this kind of corpse demonization is the appearance of corpse spots before a person dies. Mortals will at most transform into ordinary corpse demons, while cultivators will most likely become demons."
"What demon?"
"It's naturally a corpse demon. The stronger it is, the more complete its memory is, but its temperament is hard to describe."
He stood there, knowing that corpse demons were formed from the great resentment held by people before their death. He had never heard of such things as infection or artificial creation.
Previously, when those medical practitioners had speculated that this was related to demons, he had thought it was a new method of demonic invasion, but he had never expected the truth to be this. If this problem wasn't resolved, wouldn't more people be forced to become demons?
Just as he was worrying about the survival of the immortal cultivation world, Tao Zi said the next sentence: "The most important thing is that ordinary corpse demons formed in this way will obey the orders of their source corpse demon. As for the immortal cultivators, it all depends on their strength and whether they can suppress the source corpse demon."
"Obey orders? But the corpse demon's intelligence is clearly..."
Under Tao Zi's caring gaze for the mentally retarded, he closed his mouth and said no more.
He promised that after returning this time, he would study ancient books hard!
That night, Tao Zi, he and Li Xiu were still guarding.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the corpse suddenly moved.
Yawning, he quickly hid behind Li Xiu.
Tao Zi made a gesture to shut up, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.
Doctor Xu stood up straight. He obviously didn't notice the presence of the three people and was at the door in a flash.
The two didn't dare to speak, but Tao Zi followed calmly behind. The newly born corpse demon had a weak perception of external life and would only follow the instructions of the source demon. His strength was also closely related to the strength of the source demon.
The two of them were following him so closely that it was no wonder they didn't notice when the mayor disappeared.
Just when Tao Zi thought that the two of them could not keep up, they appeared in front of her leisurely in a small spaceship.
A fifth-grade spiritual weapon! This is the good thing about a major sect. She sighed inwardly and jumped up without hesitation.
The three of them followed silently with their spiritual weapons.
They followed them to a dilapidated temple, which was even more dilapidated than the one that day. It was the kind of temple where you could lie down inside and see the stars as soon as you opened your eyes to enjoy the sky.
Tao Zi jumped out of the spiritual weapon and made a gesture to signal them not to go in. The two nodded obediently.
The first rule of medical practice is not to try to get involved in combat, as that would be risking your own life and hindering your teammates.
Tao Zi walked in cautiously.
According to her previous speculation, the corpse demon cannot infect cultivators in its natural state, so its strength should be limited. However, there are always exceptions, so it is not excessive to be cautious.
The ruined temple was visible at a glance, and even Doctor Xu was nowhere to be seen.
She followed the corpse demon's footprints to the statue, which was so rotten that only the torso remained.
Tao Zi sniffed the foul smell above, put his hand in front of the statue, twisted it hard, and the statue slowly turned, and a passage appeared on the ground.
She walked down, but after a few steps, the ground above her head closed again and the entire passage was plunged into darkness.
There are two corpse demons guarding the end of the passage. The rotten flesh of these two corpse demons has faded away, leaving only bones, which are no different from ordinary corpse demons.
They came at her, but she ignored them and rushed in.
As long as the source demon is killed, these corpse demons will naturally lose their demonic energy. There is no need to waste time here.
She rushed all the way and got inside without any difficulty, which was within her expectations.
But hopefully, what happens next will not be as she guessed.
While she was thinking to herself, a figure appeared before her.
This demon was extremely conspicuous for two reasons. First, all the corpse demons did not dare to stand next to him, and second, the rotten flesh on his body appeared extremely clean.
The rotten meat is clean, what an incredible thing it is, but it happened.
Tao Zi's heart sank, not because she had roughly estimated the corpse demon's strength, but because she had seen that face.
The inn waiter, the inn waiter who used to laugh and joke, now stood in front of her with an expressionless face.
This matter is indeed related to Yu Niang.
"Intruders, die."
Tao Zi rushed forward first, and the two soon fought to a draw.
For these corpse demons that can survive by rotting flesh, fire is not the only way to kill them. A more effective method is to dig out their hearts.
During the fight, she had several opportunities to reveal her heart, but she gave up.
Yu Niang saved her life, so she needed to find out something.
