Chapter 832 Faith is the Key



After he left, Li Sikai felt a strong surge of faith power rush into his body. He raised an eyebrow; it seemed the space was forcing him to act like a saint.

well!

The four of them continued walking around the area, and soon they arrived at the bearded man's territory.

The four of them were obviously unaware of this, but seeing that there were many reusable supplies, they couldn't resist picking up the junk.

Things like beds, cabinets, and wooden frames were all stored in the space, either repaired and reused, or chopped up for firewood.

There are also bed sheets, duvet covers, clothes, etc., which can be taken back, washed and disinfected, and then given to people in need.

Li Sikai had a good plan, but after picking up trash for four or five hours, he smelled a familiar stench of feces.

"Damn, could there be rotting corpses here too?" Geng Zhixing asked, his eyes wide.

Li Sikai frowned: "The smell here is stronger." It was clearly not something that could be caused by just two or three people.

Following the scent, the group found five people lying haphazardly on the ground, each covered in maggots.

Ji Kangyong observed the surrounding environment and found a rotting corpse with its head punched through in the nearest room.

"Six bodies in total, and the time of death is the same as the three over there. Could Qiao An be a serial killer?" Sun Sainan shuddered at the thought.

Li Sikai took out gloves from his spatial storage, put them on, and checked them one by one. He concluded, "No, she doesn't have that kind of ability. Apart from the one indoors that was killed with a weapon, the rest were all from close combat, with necks broken. Joan's small frame couldn't do that."

Putting aside his fighting skills and physical strength, his height alone makes it impossible.

As Ji Kangyong breathed a sigh of relief, he recalled the night Shen Yanming's coordinates changed. He calculated that it seemed to coincide with the time of death of this group of people.

Ji Kangyong felt like he was about to have a nervous breakdown. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that his brother was a big shot. But why would a big shot kill someone?

"I'll go for a walk around," he said, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Li Sikai didn't think much of it and nodded: "Let's see if there are any clues."

Although they haven't officially reported back to the guard unit, they still have to deal with it if they want to find out the murderer or the reason.

Ji Kangyong grunted in agreement and left. He was heavy-hearted, unsure whether to reveal the clues or keep them hidden.

Clearly, Ji Kangyong was now convinced that Shen Yanming possessed the ability to teleport. The only question was why he did it.

Remembering his mission, Ji Kangyong began searching the surrounding ruins. Finally, about 500 meters away, he found something terrifying.

"Come quick, we've found something here!" Ji Kangyong shouted, and Li Sikai and the others sprinted over at top speed.

When Geng Zhixing and Sun Sainan saw the scene inside the room, they both took a deep breath.

Bones, long hair, fingernails, and intestines scattered all over the ground... What a human tragedy this is!

“I think we don’t need to look for the killer anymore. It’s obvious this is their doing.” If Bi Qiaoan hadn’t reminded him, Li Sikai would never have made such a rash decision.

Ji Kangyong felt the shackles on his chest loosen. Thankfully, his brother wasn't a serial killer. He was doing all this on behalf of God.

Shen Yanming was unaware of Ji Kangyong's thoughts. Had he known, he would have been touched by Ji's trust and confidentiality, while secretly cursing, "Overthinking is a disease!"

"No matter what, let's dispose of these bodies," Li Sikai said.

Geng Zhixing curled his lip: "Letting them rest in peace is too lenient on them."

Li Sikai raised an eyebrow: "Who said we had to bury her? Don't you find it troublesome? Just burn her. This girl, on the other hand, is quite pitiful. Let's give her a proper burial."

Geng Zhixing nodded, looking at the bloodstains on the ground, and felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, young lady, we will give you a proper burial. We know you've been wronged, but the murderer has been brought to justice. So, hurry up and be reincarnated. May you have a peaceful and joyful life in your next life."

Li Sikai noticed that his brother was acting strangely and quickly asked, "Old Geng, what are you doing?"

"Boss, I feel like the young lady's spirit is still around." Geng Zhixing pouted, almost crying.

After experiencing such a fantastical thing as space, Li Sikai didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just sighed, "Respect for the dead is paramount."

Then he took out his tools, dug a hole in a decent spot outside, picked up the loose parts on the ground with both hands, put them in the hole, buried them, and then took out a lot of food from his spatial storage and placed it there.

"That's all we've got. May you die well-fed and live a life of plenty in your next life."

After saying this, the group felt the temperature around them rise a few degrees.

Sun Sainan blinked: "There really is something supernatural?"

The group fell silent. Finally, Li Sikai said, "If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't."

The group burned the rotting corpse and continued along the outer perimeter. They searched the area one by one and found many valuable items that were not conventionally valuable.

But slowly, problems began to emerge.

A strong stench of decay hit them, and the group frowned, wondering if there was another corpse.

They followed the smell and found a rotting corpse every hundred meters.

Ji Kangyong felt like his head was about to explode, thinking to himself, "Old Shen, just how big of a mess have you gotten yourself into?"

However, an examination of the bodies revealed that they had all died of illness.

Looking at the red spots and pustules on their bodies, Li Sikai exclaimed in shock: "Could this be a new epidemic?"

"No, we can't leave them here. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, and the bodies will decompose quickly. There are so many people in the park. If the disease is contagious, then no one will escape it."

"But right now, we don't even have any isolation gowns. We can't just start fires here and there, can we?"

"Also, without gasoline to help it burn, it won't ignite on its own with just a flame."

"I think the thing we should be considering right now isn't these things, but rather whether the things we picked up earlier are usable. What if they've already touched them..."

Upon hearing this, Li Sikai forced a bitter smile.

He could accept doing unpaid work, but he was worried that cleaning up that pile of junk would affect his brothers.

"We don't need those things anymore, let's burn them." Although it's a little hard to part with them, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Alright, cloth, cotton, and wood can all help it burn."

Li Sikai ran back and forth twice, placing the pile of junk from the space onto the rotting corpse one by one, and then setting it ablaze with straw. There wasn't much flammable material here, so he wasn't worried about a fire.

Once the fire had subsided, Li Sikai took out the soil from the patch of land where the junk had been stored and spread it over the ashes. Then he took out a bunch of wild mushrooms and vegetables from his spatial storage and returned to the small park.

"My goodness, you guys are amazing! You went out for a day and brought back so much good stuff!" Huo Zhongli said excitedly as soon as he saw the four of them.
