Gu Yong was completely covered up, wearing a mask and sunglasses on his face, and gloves on his hands, with not a single patch of skin showing.
As he approached, Lin Xi smelled a faint stench, like the smell of a rotting corpse.
"What's going on? Tell me slowly, no rush."
Gu Yong lay on the ground, panting, and remained silent for a long time.
Ji Heng sized up the man dressed entirely in black on the ground. "Hey, bro, take off your glasses and mask right now. Are you Gu Yong? The boss is asking you a question."
Gu Yong remained silent. Ji Heng walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, what's wrong?"
He slapped Gu Yong's sunglasses, and they fell to the ground, revealing a pair of grayish-white eyes with a blank and vacant gaze.
Ji Heng was startled. "Your eyes... are very white."
In a normal person, the whites and irises of the eyes are clearly distinct, but Gu Yong's pupils are only white, without any other color, making them shockingly white.
Gu Yong quickly lowered his head, pulled his mask up, and kept apologizing.
"You saw it, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Listen closely, his voice is old and hoarse, unlike that of a young man, and sounds just like that of a dying man.
Ji Heng felt a little guilty. No wonder Gu Yong was covered up completely; others would probably be frightened sick if they saw him like that.
He picked up his sunglasses from the ground. "Brother, I should be the one apologizing. You should talk to the boss about your eye problem. He'll definitely have a way to fix it."
"Thank you." Gu Yong took the sunglasses, put them on, and slowly walked towards Lin Xi, his voice trembling with tears.
"Master, I'm dying, waaaaah..."
"I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a three-year-old child to raise. I can't die now, what will happen to my family if I die?"
Lin Xi couldn't see his face, so she couldn't read his features.
This person's yin energy was indeed very heavy, heavier than that of anyone else we'd consulted before, and it also carried a strong aura of death.
She said, "Please tell me your birth date and time."
Gu Yong immediately pulled out his ID card. "Master, please take a look."
Lin Xi glanced at it and said, "The date on the ID card is wrong; it's the birth date of a dead person."
Gu Yong stammered, "For some reason, my age on my ID card is three years older than what I'm supposed to be, and I don't know my exact date of birth."
"It's alright," Lin Xi said calmly. "Pull down your mask, let me see your face."
Gu Yong hesitated, "Master, it's a bit scary."
Lin Xi didn't speak, but Ji Heng showered her with praise, "Who in the antique street doesn't know Master Lin's reputation? A single word can decide the fate of a battle, a single word can decide life and death. He's seen all sorts of big scenes: ghosts, zombies, vampires, werewolves..."
"Brother, your problem is a minor one."
Gu Yong took a deep breath, pulled down his mask, and revealed his deathly pale face.
His skin was grayish-brown, and in some places it had even peeled off, exposing the dark red muscle tissue underneath.
As soon as it moved its mouth, its muscles twitched incessantly, emitting a foul odor.
The onlookers held their breath, afraid to make a sound. Their pale faces and gray eyes made them look just like zombies from a movie.
Holy crap! They saw a live zombie?!
Gu Yong forced a stiff smile. "Master, my skin is like this all over my body. The doctor said I don't have long to live. My organs are failing, and I won't live past this month."
"Don't worry, you won't die." Lin Xi took out a purification talisman and slapped it on his forehead.
The warm current dispelled the chill in his body, and Gu Yong instantly felt a change in his body.
He opened the front camera and saw that his previously uneven skin had become smooth and delicate.
Gu Yong was overjoyed, "My face, my eyes are back!!"
My second aunt said that Master Lin is the strongest master in the world. He didn't believe it at first. How powerful could someone so young be?
Now he admires Master Lin to the point of worship, wishing he could enshrine him in a celestial shrine.
It's good that I don't have to die.
Gu Yong shouted excitedly, "Master Lin, you are my god!"
Lin Xi raised her hand. "Calm down, sit down."
“Your excessive yin energy caused you to become a corpse. I removed the yin energy from your body, and your body naturally recovered. But this matter is not over yet.”
Gu Yong sat trembling on a small stool. "Master Lin, is there anything else?"
“The yin energy comes from several sources: ghosts, zombies, and extremely yin places,” Lin Xi explained. “You must have encountered one or two of these, which is why your body has absorbed so much yin energy.”
"Tell me, what happened to you?"
"To be honest, I don't know either. I didn't see any ghosts or zombies."
Gu Yong gripped the edge of the stool, recalling what had happened seven days ago.
That day, he got off work at ten o'clock and didn't get home until eleven o'clock. He took a shower and went to bed.
In his drowsy state, he felt very cold around him, so he turned off the air conditioner and went back to sleep.
He woke up in the morning to find that he was sleeping in the wrong position. He was sleeping against the headboard, but now he was sleeping at the foot of the bed.
Gu Yong thought he had misremembered, but when he kicked off the blanket, he saw that the pillows were neatly arranged at the head of the bed. He didn't think much of it at the time.
The next day, I woke up to the same thing again, my body turned 180 degrees, and my pillow and head were in opposite directions.
Was he sleepwalking?
On the third day, Gu Yong tied his hands to the headboard and lay down to sleep peacefully, thinking that everything should be alright now.
When I woke up, the rope around my wrist was still hanging at the head of the bed, but I was at the foot of the bed, and the pillows were still neatly arranged at my feet.
Gu Yong felt a chill run down his spine. Who was playing a trick on him?
He deliberately installed a camera in the corner to see who was behind it.
Gu Yong swallowed the sleeping pills and went back to sleep.
When Gu Yong woke up again, he was still lying at the foot of the bed. He turned on the camera with high hopes, thinking that as long as the person who was up to the trick was caught and sent to the police station, this would not happen again.
The camera clearly recorded what happened at 3 a.m. He suddenly teleported from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed without any process, faster than a flash.
A chill ran down his spine, and Gu Yong dropped the camera and stormed out the door.
The sunlight outside was blinding, making him very uncomfortable. His exposed skin sizzled as if it were being fried in oil.
"Aaaaa! A monster!!"
Pedestrians on the street screamed and fled.
Gu Yong touched his face and quickly hid at home. When he saw his face in the mirror, he was startled.
Is this him?
Its pupils turned white, a large patch of skin peeled off, and it emitted a foul odor; no wonder it was mistaken for a monster.
He went to several hospitals for checkups, and all the doctors shook their heads and sighed, saying bluntly that he wouldn't live past the end of the month.
Gu Yong came to the antique street to find a master with his last hope, but unexpectedly, Master Lin saved his life with just one talisman.
Master Lin is a deity of our time.
Gu Yong was truly grateful. "Master Lin, that's probably it. I go to work and come home on time every day and have never offended anyone. I don't understand why things have turned out this way."
Lin Xi immediately made a decision: "The problem lies with your family."
In just seven days, a living person turned into a corpse; Gu Yong's house may be an extremely yin place!
