'll just go across there. If those new souls are hit by my aura, the weak ones are likely to fall into the endless abyss.""Alright... I'll go myself." I watched as his figure dissipated like smoke—wai...Am I seeing things

This is definitely the "employee cafeteria"!

Mu Wanchen frowned and said, “There must be something else inside. Come on, follow me and you'll know where 'the jar' is!”

I kept running while mentally preparing myself—no matter what I saw, I wouldn't panic. I had to stay calm and not hold Mu Wanchen back.

Two white-coated figures pushed Xi Linzhou into the back kitchen. They opened a wall, lifted him from the bed, and walked him behind the wall. What they did in there was unknown. Soon, the two emerged, raising their hands to press the switch and close the wall.

"Lingzheng, Xuan Yue, go." Mu Wanchen didn't know when he had allowed these two Gu spirits to appear.

Xiao Scorpion and Xiao Diao'er heard the command and rushed towards the white coat, I only saw a flash of white light, and two white coats were hit and fell to the ground.

Before they could close the locker door, they collapsed beside it, their bodies trapped by the sliding door panels.

These two guys are only after money, they're not good people! It would be best if they were crushed by the door!

"Come on, let's go in and have a look." Mu Wanchen strode past the two of them without any courtesy.

I stepped on it too, and even stomped a few times, hoping Ling Zhe and Xuan Yue's poison will make them unable to find an antidote for life.

Inside was very dark, with no windows or exits.

Through the open wall gate, I saw a huge "device".

The device was like a small room, connected by several pipes, with one pipe leading to the chimney.

"What is this"

"...probably what they call 'a jar,' huh"

"What's this thing for Is it used to lock people up There must be an air vent leading to the chimney inside..." I walked around it, feeling very strange.

Mu Wanchen fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "The maker of Gu worms, takes hundreds of insects and places them in a dish, letting them devour each other. The survivors are then selected as Gu. Hence the character Gu is composed of 'worm' and 'dish'. Dish, a vessel."

“Are they conducting an experiment Placing the people poisoned by the gu to test their ability to control and observe them, as well as letting them attack each other. This hospital... it must be deeply connected to that 'Sino-foreign joint venture' research institute.”

"Furthermore, this 'jar' can directly burn corpses, so it connects to the chimney's exhaust port. This design clearly shows careful planning and years of research."

I heard my scalp tingling: "You're saying they're here, using those mentally unstable people for experiments Is this Dragon King involved!"

"The estimate is closely related. Don't forget they just mentioned a Sino-foreign joint venture research institute provided funding for them…"

"Then let's get Xi Lingzhou out of here quickly! There aren't any other Gu people around here, are there" I rubbed my arms.

"Her clothes were tattered, she must have been thrown in with other Gu cultivators and attacked them... According to the rules of raising Gu, the failures only had one fate: death. She should have killed all the other Gu cultivators... And she herself was seriously injured, spitting blood, likely from a damaged dirty weapon."

"My goodness..."

Xi Linzhou was in a state of madness and would suddenly become violent. Perhaps she had occasional episodes of insanity, breaking free from her senior sister Zhao's control, and wandered outside until she was discovered by Professor Ou.

Professor Ou... himself said that he was studying life sciences. Could his true identity be related to that "jointly-funded institute"

Maybe it was him who arranged for us to have a professional tutor.

An outstanding person could tell the principal they'd like to substitute teach, and the principal wouldn't have any objections. After all, it's a public class, anyone can teach it.

Zhao Jie lost Xi Linzhou, this "tool", and she probably worries that she fell into the hands of the enemy. So she followed to this hospital, wanting to make a big scene and force the hospital to secretly compromise and hand Xi Linzhou over.

"Should we get her out of here first Although Zhao Jie isn't kind to her, she's still on Xi Linzhou's side…" I whispered.

"Naive... Those witches aren't good people..." Mu Wanchen muttered, reaching out to touch the cremation furnace switch.

This was a double iron gate, like the door of a giant washing machine. We strained to open it, and immediately smelled a pungent, acrid odor.

I turned on my phone flashlight and saw Xi Linzhou was thrown inside, still unconscious.

The entire furnace interior was cavernous, with ventilation ducts in the distance. The ducts were fitted with a latticework and sharp barbed wire, making escape impossible.

Patches of blackened stuff on the stovetop, I suspect it's human grease.

My God, the smoke from burning corpses and the smoke from cooking in the kitchen all come out of the same chimney. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.

"Little Lu'er," Mu Wanchen called out softly.

"Huh I-I'm here." I poked my head out from behind him.

I thought he was going to order me to do some work, but instead, he chuckled and said, "This place is filthy and dark, don't come here. I'll cast a spell to send this woman away. You go stop the group that's trying to barge in and tell them to wait for me outside the hospital."

"Okay, okay!" I nodded eagerly.

"Go on, be careful and don't get hurt." Mu Wanchen reminded me.

I grunted and ran out, bouncing hard off the two people in the doorway.

Suddenly, I saw something fall off the edge of the door panel. It looked like a fitness tracker, it must have been Xi Linzhou's electric switch on her neck.

I took the switch and ran up the stairs to another floor.

Sister Zhao led people to forcefully break into the hospital, wanting to make a scene and pressure the hospital.

When I arrived on one floor, the nurses' station had already been trashed by Zhao Jie's disciples. Zhao Jie had already run upstairs.

The hallway echoed with the security guard's shouts, followed by a muffled "thud" as he rolled down the stairs and fainted.

...Dealing with witches, you have to be careful.

Women are unreasonable, especially those who are greedy witches.

"Zhao Jie," I called as I climbed the stairs.

The footsteps above suddenly stopped. A head poked out from the stairwell on the third floor—it was Zhao Jie.

She frowned. "How did you get here"

"I...come down first. I have something to tell you."

She impatiently said, "I don't have time to discuss terms and plans with you. I'm currently busy with housework!"

"I'm not even planning on discussing a deal with you because you don't seem trustworthy at all!" I said bluntly.

"You—"

"You said you'd distract the Dragon King, but instead I ended up drawing all the fire and got captured and chased. Meanwhile, you can't even control your own people, letting Xi Linzhou get away." I goaded her deliberately.

She was indeed furious, her anger reaching its peak: “Little girl! What do you know!”

"I know you're good at making a mess but bad at fixing it! Making such a fuss now won't lead to finding Xi Lingzhou. Don't you worry about her being destroyed and left with no trace"

"Zhao Jie froze for a moment, then ran down to me: "If she could really be wiped off the face of the earth, it would be a relief for both of us! I'm just afraid she'll be caught by our enemies or someone with ulterior motives!"

"...Are you worried about the centipede venom on her"

Zhao Jie widened her eyes: "You actually know!"

I managed a strained smile and thought to myself: Zhao Jie, you're not going to end well.

"Let's not discuss this now. First, you withdraw the people you arranged to cause trouble and find a secluded place so we can talk properly"

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay!”sical forms can be recast. 。The little boy said that the star god, Jiù-du, was special. He carried a rare yin qi among immortals. He was easily invaded by extremely strong and dark evil energy. Ordina...
