ENDING

CHAPTER 1 - NECKLACE

For the entire day, Su Li meditated on these strange recent events. Suddenly, a strange corpse appeared, and he made a bet with Xu Jun to investigate the corpse and encounter some strange phenomena. What was even more inconceivable was that when he went to the Shadow Mountain to look for his sister Su Yue, he met a mysterious man guarding the mountain. Even so, he was able to walk freely on the Shadow Mountain and talk to her halfway up the mountain. All of this was too unbelievable.

Sighing, Su Li looked at the sky helplessly. Beside him, Jia Qi was fiddling with the corner of her robe as she looked at Su Li who was in a daze for the whole day. She asked doubtfully, Zurich, what's wrong with you? Is it because you haven't recovered from your illness that day and need to rest more?

The illness of that day... Right, he had actually forgotten the most important matter. It was that in this alley, Jia Qi had mysteriously disappeared, and replacing her was a celestial sister wearing an ancient dress. She had given him a silk handkerchief with words written on it, and there were many strange words written on it. Just what would that mean? Why would that fairy give him this?

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Su Li rubbed his temples and took a deep breath of the surrounding air.

Seeing that Su Li was ignoring her, Jia Qi snorted coquettishly and said, Zurich, do you have a girl you like? Otherwise, you wouldn't be ignoring me!

Uh, how could that be, Kiki, don't talk nonsense! Hearing Jia Qi's words, Su Li's heart trembled. He quickly explained, I was thinking about a problem just now with the corpse case. I made a bet with Xu Jun to solve this mystery of death before he did. Kiki, come with me to the morgue later. What do you think?

No! I don't want to go to that place! " Jia Qi's expression changed drastically. To anyone, the word 'morgue' was taboo. After all, this was near the Shadow Mountain, and death often occurred, so it was unlucky to say that the morgue.

Su Li knew that it would end like this. He had gone to the morgue with Zuo Yi and Zheng Kang last time, but they were too timid in the end. Now that he heard that Su Li was going again, he hurriedly pretended to be sick on the bed. It seemed that he would have to go alone today. Thinking up to this point, Su Li couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he didn't even have a single capable assistant by his side.

Seeing the look on Su Li's face, Jia Qi became worried and whispered, Zurich, if I accompany you to the morgue tonight, you have to protect me. I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid that something might happen to you alone …"

Really, Kiki, thank you! Hearing Jia Qi's words, Su Li instantly became happy. It was naturally the best to have someone to accompany him. After all, more people meant more strength. At that time, it would be better to have someone to take care of him. If it was just one person, Su Li was truly afraid that the situation from before would happen again. After all, it was not a joke.

Um, are we going now?

It looked like the sun was setting in the west. If he went there now, it would be very dangerous.

Looking at the sky, Zurich smiled and said, How can we go now? We can go when the sky is completely dark.

Hearing Su Li's first words, Jia Qi let out a sigh of relief, but hearing the next words, the hairs on her body all stood up. There were very few people who went to the morgue during the day, let alone at night. Wouldn't it be even more terrifying if they went at night?

Laughing, Su Li rubbed his nose. When he put down his hand, he suddenly touched the silver necklace on his neck. He suddenly thought of that strange dream they had at the foot of the Shadow Mountain. That feeling of parting. Feeling pain in his heart, Su Li touched the silver necklace as he looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression.

Jia Qi's expression changed drastically when she saw the silver necklace around Su Li's neck. For the entire day, Jia Qi had not noticed the silver necklace around Su Li's neck. Now, seeing Su Li take it out, she was naturally incomparably shocked.

Zurich, where did you get this necklace? Thinking of the kitten whose tail had been stepped on, Jia Qi's expression became extremely ugly. Her two hands grabbed onto Su Li's arm as she stared fixedly at Su Li.

Su Li was shocked by Jia Qi's action. He didn't expect her to be this agitated. His body trembled as he explained, "This, uh, I found this at the foot of the Yin Mountain. Originally, I planned to go and find my elder sister. However, I ended up picking up this silver necklace.

Phew … Hearing Su Li's words, Jia Qi quickly returned to her normal expression. She used her finger to poke Su Li's waist and said, I thought that this was a token of love from a girl.

Uh, even if someone else gave it to me, you don't have to be so excited, right? Su Li smiled embarrassedly as he looked at the sky. He quickly said, Then, we'll meet here at midnight. I'll go back and prepare the items. Then, we'll go to the morgue together.

After leaving Jia Qi with a smile, Su Li ran back towards his own home. What entered his sight was his elder sister, Su Yue, still waiting for him there.

Elder sister! Zurich laughed as he shouted. He ran into the house and said, I have something to do tonight. I will be out for a while. You can have your meal first.

Li, what's the matter? Su Yue asked in confusion.

However, Su Li smiled mischievously and said, This is a secret! Alright, you can go back to your work. Also, you are not allowed to enter my room!"

Su Li rushed into his room at a speed of one hundred meters per second. He took out his backpack and carefully placed the unlocking tool on his back. As Su Li sat on the bed eating a sandwich, the scene of him in the morgue suddenly flashed through his mind, causing his heart to tremble.

What should he do about that? Su Li chewed on a sandwich as he searched his room. After searching for a while, he finally found a small bottle from a drawer. Smiling, he placed the small bottle into his backpack. Su Li looked at the time and saw that it was about half past eleven.

After packing everything up, Su Li prepared three flashlights, just in case. At the same time, he took a few lighter and quietly walked out of his room. The house was empty, and Su Li was slightly disappointed.

Walking out of the house and to the appointed place, Su Li found that Jia Qi had already arrived. But, Su Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

CHAPTER 2 - MORGUE

Su Li squinted at Jia Qi and asked, What are you doing dressed up like this, only going to the morgue, not to tame the ghouls? What are you doing?

Um, Zurich, I'm not doing this just in case. I've heard that ghosts are more afraid of peach wood swords and garlic. Anyway, it's better to prepare a bit. After saying that, Jia Qi took out two strings of garlic from her backpack and forcefully tied one for Su Li while bringing the other one for herself.

Su Li was speechless. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have told Jia Qi about this, and now it was as if he was going to the battlefield. The nervousness was gone, replaced by a helpless sigh.

Once again entering the morgue with Jia Qi, seeing the familiar scene in front of them, Su Li's heart trembled. Looking at the shivering Jia Qi outside the door, he softly asked, Hey, Qi Qi, why are you standing so far away? Come help me down.

Ah? I, I'm right here, it's so scary in there. " She shook her head, her hands gripping the hem of her dress so tightly that she was on the verge of tears.

Su Li almost fainted from Jia Qi's words. Originally, it was for Jia Qi to come and help, but now it was better. Su Li gently coughed and laughed sinisterly: Oh, that Qi, don't you feel that the outside world is even more terrifying? Watch out for a moment. A hand comes out from behind your back and pulls you away.

Ah? Ahhh! The first sound was Jia Qi's puzzled voice, while the second was a piercing scream. Originally, Su Li was only joking around. He didn't expect that after he finished his sentence, a hand appeared behind Jia Qi and pulled her.

In the blink of an eye, Jia Qi disappeared from Su Li's sight.

Qiqi! Zurich was shocked that such a thing would happen. He couldn't even take care of her here. Suddenly, Su Li remembered the scene when he was with Zuo Yi and Zheng Kang the last time. His heart trembled and he quickly took out his flashlight. He took out the small bottle from his backpack and put it on his nose.

Huff, huff? Su Li choked on the stench as he coughed until tears fell from his eyes. However, there was nothing in front of him, not even the shadow of Jia Qi.

Was it not the hallucinations caused by the drugs here? Zurich was alarmed. If he could figure it out, who had just taken her away. Who could be in the morgue at this late hour?

I say, you guys are too audacious. It's already so late and you still dare to come to the morgue? Not allowing Su Li to imagine, a strange voice came from outside the morgue.

Jia Qi's voice suddenly sounded from the side as she said, About that, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Uncle, don't chase me away. I'm here to investigate …

I don't care what you investigate, coming here dressed like this is boring. Alright, hurry up and go, or I'll call the police …"

The muscles on Su Li's face twitched. So the hand was the corpse guard here. Thinking of this, Su Li immediately hid himself under the bed in the morgue.

The next moment, the door of the morgue was opened, followed by that man's voice again, Hmph, a little girl dares to come to this place alone, hurry up and leave.

With that, the person brought Jia Qi away.

Su Li heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Jia Qi didn't betray him. Otherwise, tonight's investigation would have failed. When the security guard closed the door, Su Li came out from under the bed. Luckily, he had reacted quickly and switched off the flashlight.

Standing up, Su Li turned on the flashlight and looked at the eerie morgue. The hairs on his entire body couldn't help but stand up. He felt a cold wind blowing on his body. His entire body was ice-cold.

Su Li took in a cold breath and lifted the white cloth. He looked at the person lying on the sickbed and carefully took out his gloves before putting them on. He then took out some pincers and pointed the flashlight at the dead man, observing him carefully.

Although he had come here before, Su Li was unable to properly observe it. Thus, many of the details had been overlooked. If one looked closely at the corpse, they would see that its lower body was completely charred, as if it was caused by lightning. However, there were traces of tree branches on his body.

This was what Su Li couldn't understand. His lower body was the part that should be cut the most. And even if his upper body was scratched, it should be his arms and face; no matter what, it shouldn't be cut in the chest.

Su Li quietly lowered his body and observed the corpse even more carefully. On the corpse, there were countless scratches. It didn't seem to be normal. Su Li shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at his upper body. Instead, he turned his gaze downwards. The lower half of the corpse was charred, while the rotten meat on the outside looked like fried sausages, causing one to feel nauseous.

Forcefully suppressing the urge to vomit, Su Li covered his nose and carefully examined every single wound on the dead body. He definitely could not let Xu Jun solve the case first, otherwise, what face would he have in the future?

Suddenly, Su Li's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the upper part of the corpse. Although the numerous wounds were not orderly and standard, the scratches on the corpse appeared to be the same! In other words, the depth and length of the scratches were all the same! It was absolutely impossible for a tree branch to be this fine. Moreover, if it was wrapped around by a tree branch or something else, people would resist. Once it moved, the scratches on its body would not be as uniform. Could it be …

Su Li's heart trembled. Logically speaking, this person should have died more than ten days ago. However, who would know the real time? Could it be that the wounds were made after death in order to conceal the truth behind the man's death? Could it be that the wounds were caused by that person's death?

However, Su Li was even more at a loss. If that was the case, then he should just burn the corpse's body. This way, he could also conceal the truth. Why did he purposely leave behind these scars?

More and more mysteries revolved around Su Li's heart. Su Li only felt a little dizzy as he hurriedly rubbed his temples and leaned on the bed. As he placed his hand on the sickbed, Su Li's heart violently trembled.

Su Li slowly turned around and felt his hair stand up. There was no corpse on this bed. It was simply an empty bed, not a single person!

§ § §

CHAPTER 3 - MAJOR DISCOVERY

No! Su Li could only feel electricity arcing across his body as he was almost paralyzed by the sickbed. He used all the strength in his body to try to stand firm, but he realized that he didn't even have the ability to stand firm anymore.

Su Li's legs were trembling and weak. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, his feet didn't listen to him. After half a day, he was still at the same place, unable to move his feet.

Su Li could only feel his heart beating at another two hundred beats per minute. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly threw himself against the door and twisted the handle with all his might. However, Su Li had nearly fallen into despair. The door that he had just opened had been closed by the guard. Since he was inside, there was no way he could open this door! In other words, Su Li was trapped here and unable to leave!

Would he have to spend the night in this gloomy place? As he thought of this, Su Li felt his scalp go numb. Looking at the bed, his pupils abruptly dilated. Unknowingly, the original corpse had once again appeared on the bed. What was even more unbelievable was that the corpse, which had been dead for more than ten days, actually opened its eyes!

Those eyes were almost rotten, their black pupils had turned a deathly grey, the white whites of their eyes had turned slightly yellow, and around their eyelids, there were some rotten flesh sticking to them, making them look extremely disgusting. Those eyes were staring fixedly at Su Li, as if they wanted to devour him.

No, don't … Su Li almost cried out loud. If it was a normal person encountering this kind of situation and they were all chatting merrily without a care in the world, then there would only be two situations. One was that that person was insane. The other was that he was an otherworldly expert who was already used to this kind of situation.

However, this was the first time Su Li had encountered such a situation. He didn't know anything and could only weakly lean on the door. His body trembled as he stared at the corpse.

Buzz … The corpse that was lying on the ground suddenly discovered a sizzling sound, as if a person was being roasted on an oven. The entire corpse suddenly started emitting golden oil stains.

Su Li's entire body was covered in cold sweat as he looked at this miraculous scene. He was truly afraid that this corpse would suddenly stand up and chase after him without letting go. Su Li clearly remembered that when he was young, he often had these kinds of dreams. Being chased by the unknown zombies and ghosts, he kept on running until he finally woke up from his dream.

How could Su Li not think of those dreams when he imagined them in his own dream?

As the sweat dripped down, Su Li's eyes stared straight at the corpse in front of him. The corpse also stared straight at Su Li.

Just as Su Li was pondering, the corpse sat up with a hu sound!

This action of the corpse caused Su Li to let out a loud shout as he suddenly jumped up. Realizing that he had made a sound, Su Li hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. However, the eyes of the corpse never left Su Li. It was as if it had taken Su Li as a spectating object.

Sky Spirit, Earth Spirit, don't come over! Open the door, open the door! " Su Li pulled on the handle of the door, but he did not pull it open. He could only helplessly stare at the corpse as his entire body shivered.

Suddenly, Su Li's pupils violently constricted as he stared straight ahead. The body that had been sitting up had mysteriously disappeared right in front of his eyes. It disappeared in an instant as if it had just evaporated right in front of his eyes!

Su Li held his breath and looked around.

Buzz … The sound of being barbequed came from behind him. Zurich was shocked, and jumped up like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Su Li turned around abruptly and felt that he was about to faint. The one behind him was actually the corpse!

Ah … The corpse stretched out both of his hands and pinched towards Su Li's neck.

However, at such a critical moment, the corpse suddenly screamed and withdrew its hand when it came into contact with the garlic. In a short moment, it had already vanished before Su Li's eyes, and it was lying on the bed as if nothing had happened.

Su Li breathed heavily as he looked at the corpse in front of him. He suddenly turned the handle and the door opened automatically. Without any time to think, Su Li ran forward like a panicked rabbit.

After running for more than a thousand meters, Zurich finally stopped and started gasping for breath. He looked down at the garlic on his neck. Thanks to this garlic, he was able to leave the morgue. But... Since when was ghosts afraid of garlic? Weren't zombies and vampires the only ones afraid of garlic?

Thinking of this, Su Li trembled. He had just come out of the morgue and hadn't noticed Jia Qi's figure. It was already so late. If Jia Qi wasn't here, where could she have gone to?

Su Li quickly looked around but the surroundings were empty. There was no sign of Jia Qi. Su Li could not feel his head and thought, could Jia Qi still be in the morgue? If this went on, what would happen?

He thought of the corpse that could suddenly walk, of the person that would pinch his own neck, and of the person that would walk in the morgue. Su Li's face went deathly pale. He suddenly thought of a piece of news. Because of the Shadow Mountain, there were no zombies guarding the morgue, but because he was too nervous earlier and was investigating the corpse, Su Li did not notice it. Now that he thought about it, the zombie guardian must be a fake. If that was the case, then Jia Qi was in danger!

Without time to think, Su Li shot back into the morgue like an arrow that had just left the bow. Dangerous or not, with Jackie inside, Sulli had a reason to go back.

In one breath, Su Li rushed back into the morgue and shouted anxiously, Qi Qi, where are you, Qi Qi!

Su Li's voice echoed in the entire morgue and there was no response from him. All that was left was the echo and it lingered in the surroundings for a long time.

Qi Qi, where are you, speak! I'm Su Li, I'm here to save you! Kiki, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I said I would take care of you and protect you, but now, I can't do anything! Kiki, where are you? After rushing into a dozen more morgue rooms, Su Li still couldn't find Jia Qi's figure. It was as if at this moment, any ghosts and corpses were nothing but floating clouds in Su Li's mind.

CHAPTER 4 - PEACH WOOD SWORD

Just as Su Li was about to cry, Jia Qi's voice suddenly rang out.

Zurich, is that you?

Qiqi! Su Li abruptly looked around, only to see that a familiar figure had appeared from within the darkness. That ridiculous outfit, and that broken peach wood sword.

Qiqi, where did you go? It's so easy for me to find you! Suri threw his arms around her, worrying him to death.

On the other hand, Jia Qi smiled, buried her head in Su Li's chest, and said with a smile: Zurich, I'm sorry I made you worry. After that, Kiki won't worry you anymore in Zurich. Zurich, can you promise Kiki one thing?

What is it? Let's leave this place first, okay? This place is too eerie, not a place that we should come from. After saying that, Su Li pulled Jia Qi and was about to leave this place.

But she shook her head and smiled. It's too late, Zurich. This is the place where Yin Qi is gathering. Once we enter, we will have a chance to leave this place alive. It's all my fault that I underestimated the strength of this place and brought you in as well.

Eh? What the hell are you talking about, Kiki, let's go. Su Li didn't understand what Jia Qi was talking about, so he could only look at her with a puzzled expression.

However, Jia Qi knocked off Su Li's hand and continued to explain, Zurich, I know you won't believe it for long, but I still want to tell you. There are so many things in this world that you can't explain them all, so many that you can't even solve them yourself. So learn to believe. I am a person of the magic world. I know Maoshan Taoist Techniques and possess the Yin Yang Eyes."

Well, Kiki, are you scared to talk so much? Let's hurry up and go. Yin Yang Eyes aren't realistic enough." The corner of Su Li's mouth twitched. Although he said that, he didn't hold Jia Qi's hand and just stood blankly on the spot, looking at Jia Qi with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

She looked at the already dark sky, looked at the thick dark clouds, and said softly, "Zurich, do you know? Actually, you are also someone who possesses the Yin Yang Eyes. It's just a pity, your ability has been sealed since you were young. If you can break the seal, you must be an expert in the world of magic. However, if you want to break through your seal, someone stronger than you must open it for you. The other method is for you to break the seal
