The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 54 Follow-up
Although they could smell blood at the door, none of the disciples said anything. They just laughed a few words and carried Wu Mingjiang downstairs.

"Master Chen, I..."

Zheng Nan took a cautious look through the crack in the door.

Chen Hua suddenly grabbed Zheng Nan's collar and pulled him into the room.

After closing the door, Chen Hua pressed Zheng Nan against it and whispered, "I've taken out all the things I need to save my life. This is a serious situation."

"If this guy inside is, as you say, an illegal immigrant with no connections in Hong Kong Island, then he's dead, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"If that's not the case, I'll kill you and that stinky brat Jiang first, then go back to the countryside and hide for a while."

Zheng Nan swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Naimi's body: "Is Naimi really dead?"

"look by youself."

"Then...then how do we deal with Naimi's body? If someone sees it, it will be a big trouble."

"You should ask yourself. Why ask me? I only kill, not bury."

Naimi's body was wrapped in a waterproof bag, covered with a layer of clothes, and carried out of the small hotel by Zheng Nan.

Someone has already cleaned up the bloodstains in the room.

After tonight there will be no trace left.

In addition to packing up Nai Mi's things and taking them away, Li Zhen also took the opportunity to keep some of Nai Mi's blood before leaving.

The blood of a highly skilled sorcerer like Naimi has many uses.

Naimi's body had been half-sucked dry by the red-eyed bats and had turned into a pale color. It was now difficult to extract blood from Naimi's body.

After putting the body into a van, Zheng Nan looked at Li Zhen with an awkward expression: "Master, is it necessary to bring the body back to my house? Or why not just find a cement bucket and sink it directly into the sea?"

Li Zhen, who had his eyes closed, asked, "Are you sure Naimi is really dead?"

These words scared Zheng Nan.

He shuddered and subconsciously looked at the body in the car: "No way, he's still not dead after being beaten like this?"

"A sorcerer has many uncanny methods. Even if he completely abandons his physical body, he may still be alive in some way."

"This...is this still considered a human being? This is terrifying!"

"A ritual needs to be performed to confirm whether he is truly dead."

"Okay then. I'll let my wife and son go out and hide for two days. If they see this body, they'll be so scared that they'll have nightmares every day."

After Chen Hua cleaned up the mess and came downstairs, Zheng Nan said hello to Chen Hua and drove away in the borrowed car.

……

Looking at the van's taillights, Chen Hua pondered, "It's really strange. This man's methods are so evil, and he's full of evil energy. He doesn't look like a good person, but why doesn't the ancestor reject him?"

A short man who looked like Ba Liang Jin ran down from upstairs: "Master, what are you talking about? Uncle Li said there's still a smell upstairs and asked us to buy some detergent and come back to clean it tomorrow."

"You come and clean tomorrow." Chen Hua slapped the short man on the forehead. "I've taught you for so many years, how come you're even worse than A Jiang? I invited a master but no one paid any attention to you. It's a sin to accept you as my disciple."

The short man chuckled and said, "The Grandmaster is busy. He'll deal with me tomorrow. Speaking of which, Master, I think the sorcerer that Anan and Jiang hired is even scarier than the one who died. Will he harm Anan?"

Chen Hua glared at the short man and said, "The Grandmaster didn't warn me, do you know more than him?"

"But you do need to bathe and change clothes after you return to avoid being contaminated by evil spirits. That will make it even more difficult to invite the ancestor."

……

After returning home, Zheng Nan first sent Liang Xinyu and Zheng Ze away before carrying the body back home from the car.

After placing the corpse in front of the altar set up by Li Zhen, Zheng Nan rubbed his arms and returned to the living room.

Sitting alone on the sofa, he always felt uneasy. Before, Wu Mingjiang was there to talk to him, but now he was alone, facing the lifeless Li Zhen and a corpse that only had lifeless energy. How could he not be nervous?

In this atmosphere, he didn't dare to sleep.

Even if I go to sleep, I definitely won’t be able to fall asleep.

After hearing that Li Zhen had asked him to go out and buy some materials, he did not refuse at all and immediately promised that even if he had to break the door, he would help Li Zhen buy the things as soon as possible.

In the quiet room, there was only a corpse and Li Zhen sitting cross-legged in front of the corpse.

The red-eyed bat flew to Naimi's body with its bloated belly.

It is extremely eager for Naimi's blood. After digesting the blood, some changes may occur.

However, Li Zhen did not let the red-eyed bat continue to suck Naimi's blood.

"It's time to deal with that body. There's more blood over there..."

Li Zhen caught the red-eyed bat and threw it out of the window.

He Mei's blood is far less attractive to red-eyed bats than Naimi's blood.

After circling outside the window for a few times, the red-eyed bat reluctantly flew into the dark night sky.

This place is not far from the grove where He Mei died, and the red-eyed bat can fly back and forth in no time.

Even though it takes some time to suck blood, plus the time for digestion, it will be back in an hour or two at most.

Although the red-eyed bat is small in size, it is actually quite powerful after undergoing a metamorphosis.

It could even knock open the small coffin nailed by Li Zhen, so dragging a corpse would certainly be no problem for it.

Li Zhen himself did not intend to waste his energy dealing with He Mei's body.

Those little ghosts have a special relationship with He Mei, and Li Zhen can directly see fragments of He Mei's consciousness in the little ghosts' memories.

He had obtained a lot of useful information from that little devil before.

Although He Mei was dead, the more than ten little ghosts in He Mei's house were unable to break free from their restraints for the time being.

As long as Li Zhen finds those little ghosts, he can learn what he wants to know through them.

Li Zhen also wanted to take this opportunity to conduct an experiment.

The memories acquired by the palm leaf whip are mostly discontinuous fragments.

Li Zhen himself couldn't decide what he saw.

Based on his previous experiences, he came up with a guess, which he wasn't sure whether it was correct or not.

If the palm leaf whip absorbs an evil ghost whose resentment is too great and has affected its rationality, then what will appear in Li Zhen's consciousness are some impressive fragments of the evil ghost's memory before his death.

That is, the memories that were most active in the consciousness of those evil ghosts when they were still alive.

Correspondingly, if the palm leaf whip absorbs a rational ghost, then what it presents to Li Zhen should be some of the ghost's most active memories when it was reduced to ashes.

Since there are so many little ghosts, Li Zhen can calmly obtain what he wants to know from the little ghosts' memories.

He wanted to know if his guess was right.

Li Zhen closed his eyes and let his consciousness enter a meditative state to resonate with the red-eyed bat.

In this state, he can sense the state of the red-eyed bat at a relatively close distance, and if necessary, issue his own orders directly to the red-eyed bat.

When the resonance reaches a certain level, Li Zhen can see the perspective of the red-eyed bat.
