Chapter 0008: Corpse Transformation (Part One)

"Go ahead, just don't expect me to protect you when the time comes." Lin Yihan scoffed

From the deceased's pupils, it appears that he was greatly frightened before his death, but what exactly did he encounter that terrified him so much? Looking at Lin Tao's strange pupils, Lin Yihan also felt a bit uneasy

Zhang Zekai looked at Lin Yihan in surprise and said, "Have you been planning this all along?"

Zhang Zekai felt somewhat pleased with himself. He thought to himself: If I don't show you a bit of strength, you won't know how many eyes the King of Horses has.

Since it is a cold storage room, it is naturally a bit chilly inside. The two individuals did not wear much clothing, and as soon as they entered the cold storage room, they both shivered.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lin Yihan asked him softly, seemingly sensing that Zhang Zekai had stopped in his tracks.

The light was turned on. The refrigerator compartment lit up.

With the assistance of Zhang Zekai, Lin Yihan carefully used a white cotton swab to collect some human tissue from under her nails, and then placed it into a transparent plastic bag, taking great care to seal it properly

The hanging ghost was somewhat surprised that Zhang Zekai could actually see it. It was somewhat astonished.

Are you ready?" Zhang Zekai asked Lin Yihan.

The other few spirits that were originally prepared to approach, upon witnessing Zhang Zekai effortlessly eliminate one of their kind, displayed expressions of fear and all retreated, quickly vanishing from before Zhang Zekai.

The two individuals immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With the light, it naturally became much more comfortable

Lin Yihan opened the door to the refrigerator, and the two of them walked in

"Strange, just now there was a cold wind blowing from behind me," Lin Yihan said, somewhat puzzled

"Very well, I shall act as the protector of this flower," Zhang Zekai said with a bitter smile

Because he had opened the Heavenly Eye, Zhang Zekai could see ghosts. At ease, he felt a chill. Ahead stood a ghost with only half a head, still oozing blood. Even more disgusting, the remaining half of the head was still bleeding. The ghost's cold eyes were fixed intently on Zhang Zekai. In the pitch-black corridor, this sight would likely scare anyone to death at first glance. Even though Zhang Zekai was a descendant of the Mystical Sect, he felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Well, actually I also want to go..." Zhang Zekai stood up and said awkwardly

Upon reaching the third floor, the door to the cold storage room was closed. Zhang Zekai shrugged his shoulders at Lin Yihan and said, "There is no key, the door is closed"

Lin Yihan did not possess the ability to see beyond the ordinary, and thus could not perceive what lay ahead. Yet, she inexplicably felt a chill run through her. The surroundings were pitch black, rendering her unable to see her own fingers. Although it was her own request to come here, she still felt a sense of unease as she stepped into this place.

Lin Yihan took out a pair of gloves and put them on. She began to examine Lin Tao's eyelids

Zhang Zekai gasped in surprise. Although it is said that great skill breeds great courage, Zhang Zekai is still far from that realm.

Bastard

Oh..." Lin Yihan did not suspect anything and nodded.

Suddenly, Zhang Zekai saw a hanging ghost attached to Lin Yihan's back. It was sticking out its tongue, seemingly sucking on something

"Isn't it scary so late?" Zhang Zekai looked at Lin Yihan

This hanging ghost is the most lowly of spirits. Compared to the one that Zhang Zekai eliminated in the dormitory, it is far inferior, and under the strangulation of his true essence, it was reduced to ashes.

Lin Yihan suddenly stood up

When Lin Tao's body was pulled out of the freezer, his eyes were still open, as if hinting at something. It was uncertain whether Zhang Zekai was seeing things, but he felt that Lin Tao's face still bore a strange smile

It just so happens that together ... ... Lin Yihan actually feels a bit uneasy going to the bathroom alone in such a dark night

Due to being frozen for a day, Lin Tao's hand had become somewhat stiff. It was indeed not easy to straighten his arm. Suddenly, Zhang Zekai, unsure if it was just his imagination, felt that the arm of Lin Tao he was pulling trembled slightly.

The anatomy building has only three floors. The cold storage room is located on the third floor. Since it is late at night, the lights are off here. One can only ascend using the light from a mobile phone.

Zhang Zekai and Lin Yihan gradually made their way to the cold storage room

At this moment, several ghosts were still standing in the corridor ahead. Although Zhang Zekai knew that these ghosts could not harm him, he still felt a bit of pressure. He could only repeatedly remind himself in his heart that these ghosts could not hurt him. At this time, he felt somewhat envious of Lin Yihan, as out of sight meant out of mind

What the two of them did not know was that at the moment they stepped out, the freezer located in Lin Tao's place slowly extended, and a stiff hand reached out.

The two individuals pushed Lin Tao's freezer back before leaving the cold storage room

Zhang Zekai could see that the hanging ghost was absorbing Lin Yihan's vital yang energy. Although the living person's yang energy was abundant, a decrease in yang energy would allow for the invasion of malevolent forces, which could shorten one's lifespan

Of course, let's go in! Lin Yihan said to Zhang Zekai

Lin Yihan took a deep breath. Although she considered herself to be quite brave, it was still the dead of night and she was looking at a corpse. She also opened one, which was that of a middle-aged woman

Although these ghosts cannot harm anyone, their mere presence is frightening enough

Lin Yihan scoffed and said, "As a forensic doctor, it is commonplace to examine corpses at any time. If you are afraid, I will go by myself."

Zhang Zekai naturally understood what was going on. He replied to her lightly, "It might be the wind"

A piercing scream echoed, and in an instant, the hanged ghost vanished into thin air

Zhang Zekai naturally could not allow her to go alone. This anatomy building exuded a rather eerie atmosphere. It would be very dangerous for Lin Yihan to go by herself. Out of a sense of cherishing the delicate, he could not let Lin Yihan go alone. Moreover, Lin Yihan's verification could at least prove her own inference. Although there was a sinister aura surrounding Lin Tao, Zhang Zekai could not be one hundred percent certain that he had died at the hands of that female ghost.

Zhang Zekai looked at Lin Yihan with some confusion and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Yihan's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she said: "I still need to check the ankles. I need to go to the restroom first. Please wait for me here..."

Lin Yihan smiled and, as if performing a magic trick, produced a key. She said to Zhang Zekai with pride, "How could I dare to come without preparation"

There is human tissue under his nails... As long as DNA can be obtained from this skin tissue, it will be possible to identify who the murderer is. Lin Yihan was very excited

Zhang Zekai channeled the true essence within his body and pointed a finger downwards, striking directly at the body of the hanged ghost

"No, let's go!" Zhang Zekai forced a smile.

Next, Lin Yihan pulled Lin Tao's arm again. She glared at Zhang Zekai and said, "Aren't you going to help me..."

The two finally found Lin Tao's body in the last freezer

I want to examine his nails. If it is an unnatural death, the deceased will generally leave traces in the nails during a struggle" Lin Yihan explained to Zhang Zekai

However, there are only six freezers in the cold storage room. Zhang Zekai opened the first one. It contained an elderly woman, her face remarkably serene. Zhang Zekai silently thought to himself: I apologize for the disturbance. He then pushed the freezer back in place.
