Chapter 40 The Evil Sleeper
Chu Tingbai retracted his foot that was stepping on his hand and signaled him to speak quickly.
At this time, Qing Yanrou had wrapped the ban with her spiritual power, preventing it from detecting what was happening outside.
"Actually, I really don't know where the lord has gone. I'm just one of his subordinates and have never seen him."
The man rubbed his palm, which was almost stepped on and broken, and said, noticing the dangerous eyes of the two people, he quickly continued:
"What I said is true. I am just one of the many subordinates of the lord. My status is second only to the youngest one under him. I am not qualified to see the lord."
Afraid that they wouldn't believe him, his tone was much more anxious now.
"Then why did he get on you?"
"That was just a trace of the Lord's divine consciousness. As long as we sincerely worship the statue, the Lord will come out of the statue and help us through the crisis."
Seeing that he had said so much and everything was fine, and nothing had happened, the man gradually relaxed and continued:
"So I really don't know where the adults are."
"Then how did you get this statue to worship? And what is it worshipped as?"
Knowing he would definitely not be let go, the man stopped resisting and confessed honestly, thinking of confessing and getting leniency.
"I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest with no talent. No Taoist temple is willing to let me stay here. I can't survive, so I think about how to improve my Taoist skills every day. Finally, I met an adult in a dream. He said he could help me, so I..."
"Sacrifice human souls to the Master. If the Master is satisfied, he will give us appropriate rewards. For example, the flying zombie in the dream last time was a reward from the Master."
"You just said that Li Zhibin came to you on his own initiative?"
Qing Yanrou did not forget that they were on this trip to help the Wen family find out the truth, so she asked.
"Yes, everything he had was given by the Wen family. He cheated on his wife and was afraid of being kicked out, so he came to me and killed his own child and wife."
"But he didn't know that I also had a crush on his body. His horoscope was very suitable for being a host, so I helped him kill the man. When I finally had to abandon my own body, I entered his body and sacrificed his soul to the Lord."
"And his new wife?"
The villa was empty, without a trace of living people. The Wen family kept an eye on Li Zhibin's every move, but they did not notice him moving his newlywed wife and children.
Therefore, it is very likely that he has died.
"I killed him and offered him as a sacrifice to you, my Lord. His body was buried in the back garden of the villa, together with Wen Yu's urn."
As expected, they actually put Wen Yu’s urn together with them. Isn’t this alienating the Wen family?
Qing Yanrou no longer cared about him and slowly withdrew her spiritual energy. However, she never expected that as soon as her spiritual energy left, the prohibition suddenly attacked the man's soul, and his soul was instantly shattered. She didn't even have time to stop it.
It seems that the person has set up another ban. As long as the person who has been banned cannot be monitored, it will be destroyed immediately. That adult is too cautious!
She took out her phone and called Bai Yi, "Notify the special department of Province Z to come over."
Bai Yizhen and Wen Mingyi waited for their call together, and finally got it. After notifying the special department, they drove over.
"Explain to me, what's going on with that 'old acquaintance'?"
After finishing the call, Qing Yanrou pulled over the chair next to her, sat on it, and began to look at Chu Tingbai expressionlessly.
"From the moment I entered this basement and saw the statue, some inexplicable images flashed through my mind, but I couldn't capture the specific images."
"It went on frame by frame like a movie, but it was too fast. But the owner of that statue looked very familiar to me. The last image that flashed through my mind finally stopped at that person's face. He looked at the other me with resentment."
"So, I just wanted to trick him."
Chu Tingbai stood in front of her honestly and explained everything, but he also concealed some things.
In fact, the images in my mind did not flash very quickly, but there were only a few scattered fragments.
In addition to the man just now, his mind also flashed with Qing Yanrou, who was lying in his arms, spitting blood and slowly turning into stars.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were calm and he looked at her with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Qing Yanrou looked at him suspiciously. Although she knew that he definitely didn't tell the truth, since he didn't want to say it, she couldn't force him.
"Could it be that you had a grudge against that person in your previous life? Is that why he is trying so hard to kill you now?"
"Maybe."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voices of Bai Yi and others outside. The two were not discussing this issue.
"Wow, my God, why is there such a statue enshrined here?"
When Bai Yi came in, he saw a statue he had never seen before. Although it looked kind, he always felt that it was hypocritical.
Wen Mingyi and people from the special department of Province Z came with him. After briefly telling them that there was a body in the back garden, they all went to the back garden.
"Mr. Wen, Wen Yu's urn is also there."
Hearing this, Wen Mingyi stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Then, he hurriedly followed the people from the special department with messy steps.
They looked around and saw that the soil in the flower bed next to them had obviously been disturbed.
Unable to wait for them to find tools, Wen Mingyi started digging the soil with his bare hands.
The others silently began to help dig, and soon they uncovered two bodies, one large and one small.
The weather has cooled down recently and the body has not yet completely decayed.
Next to the body was an urn.
Seeing the urn, Wen Mingyi, whose hands were already covered in mud, quickly wiped his hands on his clothes.
After his hands were free of dirt, he reached out and carefully picked it up with slightly trembling hands.
Lifting the corner of his clothes, he wiped the dirt off with a clean lining. His hands gently stroked the patterns on the urn, holding it tightly to his chest as if it were a lost treasure.
He put his cheek against it and murmured to himself, "Aunt, Mingyi will take you home right now."
Before he finished speaking, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, dripping onto the pattern of the urn and mixing with the soil.
Wen Mingyi and Wen Yu are only ten years apart in age, and he has grown up following Wen Yu closely.
When he was a child, his parents were too busy and never had time to accompany him. It was Wen Yu who took him out to play and accompanied him as he grew up. When he was bullied as a child, she always took the young him back to beat the bullies back.
She said he was the treasure of the Wen family, how could he let others bully him?
But she was also the Wen family's treasure! They had agreed that when he grew up, he would be the one to protect her.
But he couldn't even protect her ashes.
