Chapter 82 Corpse Control Secret Technique: Corpse Gu
Yun Shu took out a glass bottle from her canvas bag, which contained some disgusting black worms that looked like maggots.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; the appearance of this insect inexplicably made them feel uneasy.
Old Qian frowned and asked, "What is this...?"
"Corpse Gu".
Yun Shu explained, "It was dug out from the knee of that corpse. By placing these Gu worms inside the knee of a corpse, you can make the stiff corpse move."
"So it turns out you were the one who cut those two knife wounds on his knees. I thought you were some kind of pervert who liked to torture corpses, and that you stole the body and deliberately cut it with a knife!"
Old Qian suddenly realized his mistake, then chuckled awkwardly, "Miss Yun, I didn't mean you're a pervert, I meant..."
"fine."
Yun Shu waved her hand, not taking it to heart. "I'm just a little curious. Why would someone who puts a curse on a corpse let it run away?"
I found the first missing body; he was lying by the roadside in the suburbs, with nothing around him and hardly anyone passing by.
"It's really strange, but unfortunately the corpse can't talk, so we can't get any results from it."
Old Qian said regretfully.
"It's no use if he can speak, he's already been burned."
Yun Shu put the glass bottle away, her eyes darkening slightly as she thought of the Golden Silkworm Gu that Jiang Xueqiu had requested.
Yun Shu frowned and murmured, "Could these two types of Gu worms have originated from the same person?"
Using corpse-controlling Gu to manipulate corpses is an extremely rare technique. This technique belongs to the Corpse Control School and is also considered a type of Gu magic, making it evil and mysterious.
In ancient times, some people wanted to create the legendary zombies, and one method was to use corpse gu to promote the transformation of corpses.
However, after examining it, Yun Shu found that the corpse gu she discovered this time was not as strong as the one she encountered in her previous life, so it could not cause a zombie transformation and could only allow people to simply manipulate the corpse.
Yun Shu sighed, "We still need to continue helping them find the bodies, and it would be best to find out who the Gu master who made this corpse Gu is."
If the Golden Silkworm Gu and the Corpse Gu were created by the same Gu Master, this kind of evil and heretical practice would definitely be a great scourge to humanity! She couldn't sit idly by!
Yun Shu turned to look at Lao Qian, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Give me the birth date and time of that corpse, and I'll help you find it."
In addition, check with the crematorium to see if anyone had contact with both missing bodies at the same time.
"good!"
Old Qian first went to get a body registration booklet, found the deceased's information, and then told Yun Shu all the information.
He said to Yun Shu, "You help me find the body first. The body is to be cremated the day after tomorrow, so there is still plenty of time."
However, you still need to find it as soon as possible. The weather is hot now, and I'm afraid if the body stays outside too long, it will decompose beyond recognition, making it difficult to perform cosmetic procedures. We won't be able to explain it to the family then.
When a body is sent to the crematorium, if it can still be repaired, the crematorium will help with the repair and will also give the body a beautiful makeover, trying to let them leave this world in the best possible condition. All of these are included in the cost.
After obtaining the corpse's birth date and time, Yun Shu did not leave the crematorium immediately.
She had Old Qian clear everyone out of the morgue first, then opened every cabinet in the morgue and applied a special talismanic water to the forehead of each corpse.
After doing all this, Yun Shu turned to Lao Qian and said, "If any more corpses go missing, I will be able to sense it immediately. In addition, these talisman waters can also suppress the transformation of corpses."
Old Qian asked in confusion, "Didn't you say there were Gu worms in the corpse? Doesn't that count as a zombie resurrection?"
"That's because this corpse gu isn't powerful enough. If the corpse gu were powerful enough, the evil energy it carries would still cause it to turn into a zombie. Anyway, be careful."
Old Qian's face paled a little. "If you put it that way, I won't dare to stay here tonight. What you just said has already spread. Everyone knows the body ran away on its own, and no one wants to keep watch with me. I'll be all alone tonight!"
Yun Shu thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to guard the door. Just stay in your room. If you hear any unusual noises, check the security camera footage, but don't come out."
Old Qian was daring and often stayed overnight at the crematorium. He lived in the security room, where the entire crematorium's surveillance cameras were also located.
We still don't know what the person controlling the corpses is up to. If it really was that Gu Master, Old Qian, an ordinary person, is no match for him and there's no need for him to come out and risk his life.
Before leaving, Yun Shu gave Lao Qian a safety charm, which would protect him if he encountered danger. Lao Qian finally felt a little relieved.
Yun Shu consulted the oracle and then went to find the corpse.
The crematorium was in the suburbs of the capital. She left the crematorium and walked in the direction indicated by the divination, but she couldn't find the body even after walking for more than ten kilometers.
"The divination indicates the southeast direction, but why haven't we seen it yet? This time, the zombie has really gone far."
Fortunately, Yun Shu had been practicing for a while and could occasionally use her lightness skill. Otherwise, walking more than ten kilometers would have been exhausting, and she didn't know how much longer she would have to walk.
It gradually got dark.
Yun Shu arrived at a luxurious villa area in the suburbs and finally found the scent of the corpse. She quickly followed the scent.
This luxurious villa area is built against the mountains and by the water, with excellent feng shui. The body was found on the mountain behind the villa area.
When Yun Shu arrived at the back mountain, it was already completely dark. The night wind was icy, and strange cries could be heard from the mountain stream from time to time, which was quite eerie.
Yun Shu wasn't afraid at all. She didn't even bring a flashlight and went straight into the woods in the dark.
She could see clearly even in the dark, and she saw a person lying on the ground not far away. The stench of the corpse was getting stronger and stronger. It must be the corpse brother she was looking for.
"How did you end up here?"
Yun Shu was puzzled for a while, and was about to drive the corpse back when she heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes not far away.
"who!"
Yun Shu's expression turned cold, and she took out a flashlight from her bag and shone it in that direction.
There was no one in the direction of the bushes, but a weasel ran away in a panic.
Yun Shu frowned, sensing something was wrong. She was certain that she had just heard human breathing coming from the bushes.
Yun Shu went over to take a look and found that the ground, covered with weeds and dead leaves, was slightly raised, as if it was covering something.
She crouched down, brushed aside the weeds and withered leaves, and found a square safe, still tinged with the stench of death.
Yun Shu asked in surprise, "That corpse brother stole it? No, it was someone behind him who controlled him to steal it. Is there something important in there?"
Yun Shu gathered her spiritual power in her palm and smashed a corner of the safe with a single blow, revealing what was inside.
