Chapter 73: Dead Worm
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the woman met Shen Chun’s gaze, she retreated in the blink of an eye. Shen Chun lowered her eyes and looked at the blood with disdain.
Fu Shi and Ling Han had strange expressions on their faces. When they first arrived, Shen Chun had been staring at this empty space. Now, she was staring at the empty space again without saying a word. The two of them didn’t understand what Shen Chun was looking at.
“What are you looking at?” Fu Shi finally asked.
Shen Chun pointed at the piece of land in front of her and said calmly, “There’s a pool of blood on the ground.”
The two of them confirmed again, but there was still nothing.
Fu Shi guessed that it was probably those supernatural things again.
At this moment, Ling Han recalled what had happened the last time he met Shen Chun, and wanted to further confirm it, so he asked very implicitly, “Something from the netherworld?”
Seeing Shen Chun nod, his doubts were resolved. Who would jump off a building but leave no blood or a corpse?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Shen Chun thought about it for a while, she turned to the two of them. “Although this thing has heavy sinister energy, its main body isn’t here. I’ll go find it. You guys can go ahead and do your work. I’ll be back soon.”
Fu Shi pulled her back and looked down at her, his eyes filled with gentleness. “I’ll go too.”
After she turned around and looked at Fu Shi’s gentle but firm gaze, for some reason, she agreed to him. Things might not be as simple as she thought, so she was about to reject him and had even thought of a lot of reasons to brush Fu Shi off, but unfortunately, none of them came in handy.
Fu Shi said before Shen Chun could speak, “Don’t go back on your word.”
At this point, if Shen Chun went back on her word, it would seem like she was unreliable, so she reluctantly agreed to let Fu Shi follow her.
“Officer Ling, just wait for my call.” Shen Chun continued, “The other girl who walked over with us just now is called Chen Jin. Officer Ling, help me keep an eye on her.”
Ling Han agreed. “Alright.”
Shen Chun held Fu Shi’s hand as they returned to the building. This time, she didn’t knock on the woman’s door. Instead, she went straight to Room 303.
As for why, it was naturally to investigate where the sinister energy was the strongest.
The corners of Fu Shi’s lips curled up. When he saw Shen Chun holding his hand and felt the warmth in his palm, the feeling in his heart changed from unfamiliarity and resistance to familiarity and warmth.
After the two of them stopped, Fu Shi came back to his senses and took the talisman Shen Chun gave him. Then, he watched as she knocked on the door of Room 303.
There was no response from inside, and no one opened the door.
Shen Chun pursed her lips and knocked again impatiently.
There was still no reaction.
In the end, she broke the lock with a kick.
Fu Shi was shocked by this and looked at Shen Chun in disbelief.
Shen Chun even felt proud of herself after showing Fu Shi her skills.
The room was the same as Room 203. It had three bedrooms and a living room. The only difference was that the cabinet in Room 303 wasn’t filled with golden toads and Pixiu, but with incense.
This confirmed Shen Chun’s guess.
After Shen Chun scanned the living room and saw that there was no one there, she ran to open all the doors of the rooms, but there was no one there either.
The owner of this room wasn’t around.
Shen Chun placed her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes, as if she wouldn’t leave until the owner returned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFu Shi wanted to walk forward and tell Shen Chun not to be too anxious, but he happened to see a figure on the balcony.
He patted Shen Chun’s shoulder and pointed at the balcony.
After Shen Chun rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward, she snorted coldly. “Let’s see where you can run to.”
What they saw was a corpse.
Fu Shi called the police.
Shen Chun quickly squatted down and repeatedly observed the wounds on the corpse. The wounds were uneven, as if something had bitten them.
But how could something have such small teeth?
There was even sinister energy on the wounds…
After Shen Chun formed a seal with one hand and took out a glass bottle from her pocket with the other, a golden light landed on the corpse’s head.
Right on the heels of that, Shen Chun lured a dead black worm from the corpse.
She put the bug into the glass. This bug looked strange. It had the body of a scorpion, but it had snake-like scales and eyes.
Fu Shi looked at the thing in her hand as he asked curiously, “A bug?”
Shen Chun said, “This is a Gu worm..”
