The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 38: Ten Great Evil Spells of Nanyang
Sure enough, the mission has begun.

Li Zhen frowned.

Was it because the alarm he set didn't wake him up, or was it because the task came before the alarm rang?

When deciding to carry out the "corpse descent", Li Zhen did not consider the second possibility.

He thought this mission might forcefully wake him up, but it ended up sending him here directly.

This mission came so suddenly that Li Zhen had almost no time to react.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation and brought the palm leaf whip and the crossbow with him in advance.

Li Zhen pulled out the palm leaf whip from his sleeve.

This whip was brought here intact.

But what about the crossbow?

Li Zhen looked around.

No crossbow was found.

Did you lose it, or didn't you bring it with you at all?

Li Zhen sighed and looked at the task description again.

How is this even more abstract than the last description?

The keyword "evil ghost" was included in the last mission description.

This time even the key words were omitted, only "malicious" was said.

Li Zhen raised his head and glanced at the corridor where the little boy had just been pulled into.

The information transmitted to his consciousness from the rune told him that this was the little boy named Zheng Ze.

Li Zhen had a hunch that this trouble would be quite serious...

Although he came in a hurry, Li Zhen was not completely unprepared.

At least his initial ritual of "corpse descent" has been completed.

Li Zhen observed his body in the light.

Tiny red spots may be seen scattered across the arms and calves.

This is the sign that the "corpse descending" has begun to occur.

I pinched my hand and the pain seemed to subside, but not very obviously.

Li Zhen reached out his hand again and pressed hard on various parts of his abdomen.

Amidst the intense discomfort, he felt that his perception had significantly weakened, and the intensity of the pain now was far less than before.

The feeling of heaviness and pain he had felt during previous activities was also weakened to almost nothing, allowing Li Zhen to move more comfortably.

After a while, I should be able to completely eliminate the pain in my body and move like a normal person...

A smile appeared on Li Zhen's face.

He hid the palm leaf whip back into his sleeve and suddenly looked up at the top of his head.

A fishy wind blew in his face, and a huge bat landed on Li Zhen's shoulder.

It was the red-eyed bat that Li Zhen should have locked in the small coffin.

"You actually followed me?" Li Zhen was a little surprised and also a little happy.

With this evil creature, he has the confidence to face any strange situation.

The red-eyed bat rubbed against Li Zhen's shoulder, and the scarlet liquid from the corner of its mouth rubbed onto Li Zhen's clothes.

"It's not your blood?"

Li Zhen dipped a little liquid with his right index finger, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, confirming that it should be human blood.

"There it is! Fly down! Don't let it get away!"

Someone leaned out of the window above Li Zhen's head and shouted.

Then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard in the corridor.

At least five or six people were rushing down the stairs in a menacing manner.

Without having to think, Li Zhen knew what was going on.

After looking around, he turned and entered the narrow gap between two buildings on the right.

There is only room for two people to walk side by side here.

More importantly, it is more remote.

"Don't run!" Five or six people who rushed downstairs ran into the gap.

The leading young man, a tattooed man, holding a fruit knife, said fiercely, "You idiot! Did you raise this vampire bat? Did you let it out to scare people? Damn you..."

Li Zhen didn't answer, but looked at the bat on his shoulder: "Did you kill anyone?"

The red-eyed bat squeaked.

"Very good. Don't kill anyone without my order, but it's okay to suck some blood." Li Zhen gestured forward, "Since you're not full, let's go and borrow some more blood from them."

With the help of the red-eyed bat's perception, he could sense the blood and lingering resentment in these people.

These are not good people.

The reason why the red-eyed bats sought out these people was because they were attracted by the resentment in them.

What it likes most, besides the blood of people with magical powers, is this kind of blood mixed with resentment.

The red-eyed bat's eyes flashed with blood, and it cried out excitedly before disappearing from Li Zhen's shoulder. A strange "squeak" sound echoed from within the gap.

The sound was so sharp that it was like a needle piercing the ears of the men who chased into the gap.

The few people who were so aggressive the moment before covered their ears and fell to the ground in pain, unable to even scream.

The red-eyed bat landed on a man, its fangs easily piercing the skin and blood vessels on the man's arm, greedily sucking blood from him.

Judging from the way he eats, he must be hungry.

During the time that Li Zhen locked it in the coffin, not only did he not feed it blood, but he also made it suffer and consume more energy.

That's why it's so hungry.

The baldness on its head and the injuries on its wings and some parts of its body showed how violent the collision inside the coffin had been.

I guess the pain it bears is quite strong.

"Let someone else suck it, don't suck him to death."

Li Zhen stepped over a few people and walked out of the gap.

The red-eyed bat flew back and forth between the people, like a badger running into a melon field.

The red-blooded bat, full of blood, flew back to Li Zhen's shoulder. Its abdomen was noticeably swollen and its weight had obviously increased a lot.

"Now that we're full, it's time to get down to business."

Li Zhen took off his coat and let the red-blooded bat hide inside his coat to avoid scaring others.

After growing bigger, the red-blooded bat no longer fits in Li Zhen's pocket.

He walked into the corridor and went up to the first floor, where he met a sloppy middle-aged man in slippers carrying a bag of garbage out.

"Who is so lacking in public morality as to blow the whistle at night..."

"Excuse me……"

The middle-aged man was startled when he suddenly heard the sound.

"You're so scared that my heart is beating fast..."

The peripheral light from the room was not enough for the middle-aged man to see Li Zhen's appearance clearly. When he got closer, he could see the face of the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The evil and terror that emanated from her bones made the middle-aged man feel a chill in his heart.

The words that were not uttered were swallowed into my mouth.

He threw the garbage away with trembling hands, ran back to the house without saying a word and was about to close the door.

A hand pushed on the door.

Li Zhen smiled and asked, "Do you know where Zheng Ze lives?"

The light passed through the crack in the door, illuminating Li Zhen's dark right eye and the sallow cheek underneath, making Li Zhen look even more sinister.

The middle-aged man tried hard but couldn't close the door.

"What is Zheng Ze? I don't know. Go ask someone else."

The red-eyed bat poked its head out from Li Zhen's clothes, and its blood-red eyes looked into the middle-aged man's eyes.

The middle-aged man's eyes immediately became confused: "Zheng Ze, I know, he lives on the fifth floor, the first room at the staircase..."

"Thank you."

After closing the door, Li Zhen walked towards the corridor.

Only Li Zhen's footsteps echoed in the dark corridor.

When Li Zhen arrived at the house the middle-aged man mentioned, he raised his hand and the conversation coming from inside attracted his attention.

"...Don't watch TV all the time! Dad is hungry, make something for him to eat!"

"Dad, there's only some deadly instant noodles left. Do you want to eat them?"

"I don't understand how I could have given birth to a mentally retarded son..."

Somehow this conversation made Li Zhen feel a little familiar.

He raised his hand and knocked it down.

There were a few curse words inside.

After a sound of footsteps, the door opened.

The door was opened by a woman.

The scene inside the house attracted Li Zhen's attention.

There is a brazier near the door in the living room, and white cloth is burning in the brazier, which looks like the mourning cloth used in funerals.

On the right side of the living room, there are two portraits placed side by side, one of which is an old man and the other is an old lady.

In front of the portrait are several lit candles and some common offerings.

These two old men must have died not long ago.

No wonder Zheng Ze was wearing mourning clothes before.

After seeing this, Li Zhen finally understood why he felt that the conversations he had heard before sounded familiar.

Two portraits...

a family of three……

The host bears a striking resemblance to Hong Kong star Bobby Au-yeung...

Isn’t this the scene that appeared just a few minutes after the beginning of the Ten Great Evil Spells of Nanyang?
