On the eighteenth floor of the Underworld Office, Mo Rong, his face grim, watched as the gray-black air currents, like maggots clinging to bones, stubbornly entangled and corroded He Ran's corpse.
Although Mo Rong knew this was no ordinary death, and that even his soul was gone, there was still a follow-up. On the surface of the bones beneath the skin, the originally white calcium layer was now covered with a thin layer of black frost that constantly emitted a chilling aura!
The most shocking thing was the bone marrow, which now appeared to be a strange, inky black, as if it had been completely soaked in thick ink. Wisps of black energy rose from it, carrying a resentment and venom that made one's soul tremble.
Mo Rong subconsciously clenched his fist, but sighed softly, "It seems that the human world hasn't been peaceful at all since it entered the Dharma-ending Age!"
Lan Xuan stood beside Mo Rong, looking at the corpse with a soft voice, and asked, "So, Director, have you figured something out?"
Mo Rong frowned. "It must be that someone used some evil method to seize the life force of a young life in the shortest time. They didn't even spare his soul. It was either refined or eaten. But judging from the condition of the corpse, it looks more like poisoning. In short, even I have never seen anything like it before."
Lan Xuan suddenly looked up at Mo Rong, "This is the first time we've met the director. What should we do? Just let it go?"
"The human realm authorities have already begun investigating and banning that drug. As for us..." Mo Rong suddenly paused, "I'll find some time to ask Sect Master Shang! I have a feeling he knows more than we do."
Lan Xuan, "..."
How credible is your statement? Don't you even consider your and Sect Master Shang's ages? You actually dare to ask the other party! Moreover, even someone like me who doesn't understand cultivation knows that He Ran is most likely under some kind of evil spell.
Mo Rong really did what he said he would do. That very evening, he came to wait for Shang Lin after school. However, when he saw Shang Lin, he felt that there was a change in the aura around him.
But how exactly it had changed? Or whether it had changed for the better or for the worse, he couldn't say for sure. In short, it was a little strange. However, Mo Rong didn't mind and just politely said first, "I'm sorry to bother you again."
Shang Lin frowned almost imperceptibly. There was an aura about Mo Rong that he disliked very much. Although it was very faint, he could still feel it very clearly. And what was he doing bothering him?
Sigh, it's true what they say: "He who takes a man's gift is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him."
So Shang Lin readily agreed, saying, "Let's talk at my place then."
However, Mo Rong said, "I think it would be better if you and I went to the office to see He Ran's body than if I recounted it."
Shang Lin immediately stopped in his tracks and used telepathy to ask, "How come He Ran's body is in your office? Wasn't it the human realm authorities who were cleaning up the mess?"
Mo Rong didn't use a telepathic technique, but kept his voice very low, "Normally this is how it is, but now... it's very abnormal. If you have time, come with me to take a look."
Shang Lin looked at Mo Rong with some confusion, "You want me to go and see? Do you think I know more than you do?" After all, he was an outsider, while Mo Rong was a local.
"This is the first time I've encountered He Ran's situation, but I always feel that you know more than I do. For example, you thought of possibilities that none of us had considered regarding the situation where his soul could not be found."
Shang Lin, “…Okay!”
