Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1215 - 219: 6

Li Zhiyuan checked the time, felt it was about right, and took the three people with him to tidy up their things and went to the hospital.

He originally thought Aunt Xiang Hou would only come out after Cui Cui finished her homework and went to bed, but who knew, when they arrived at the hospital, they saw her parking and heading inside.

Not only did she come out early, but she also took a different village road, not passing in front of Grandpa's house.

Li Zhiyuan knew she definitely wasn't avoiding him, but avoiding Grandpa and Mr. Shan. After all, those two old men knew quite a bit about her family's skills.

"Ah You, go knock her out gently."

Lin Shuyou took a deep breath; knocking someone out gently — that was no small task.

Yin Meng: "I have knockout powder."

Run Sheng: "Xiao Yuan knows."

Aunt Xiang Hou was one of their own, so unless it was necessary, it was better not to use Yin Meng's powder.

Lin Shuyou was already a professional martial artist, and his skills had improved significantly after traveling the Jiang. When Aunt Xiang Hou was climbing the stairs, he lunged from behind and delivered a precise chop to the back of her neck. Aunt Xiang Hou immediately fainted.

Lin Shuyou caught her, first checking her breathing.

Once he confirmed everything was fine, he let out a sigh of relief.

Li Zhiyuan walked up and said, "The room next door is empty. Settle her there, and tie her hands and feet, stuff her mouth with cotton cloth."

A hand chop can't confirm how long someone will be unconscious, and a person like Aunt Xiang Hou, who is tough, tends to become even stronger in situations like these.

Lin Shuyou: "Understood!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Li Zhiyuan: "Yin Meng, go stick a Heart Clearing Charm on Grandma Liu. Run Sheng, check the morgue."

Yin Meng gently pushed open the ward door. Her movement technique was agile, and she quickly slipped inside. Liu Jinxia was still awake, staring at the ceiling.

She knew what her current situation was, about to be in eternal sleep, and she wanted to take in more of everything.

Suddenly, she blacked out as a talisman was stuck to her forehead.

The Heart Clearing Charm suppressed her fleeting consciousness, and Liu Jinxia immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Li Zhiyuan came in afterward, checked Liu Jinxia's condition, and judged that she could hold on until dawn.

In other words, her current state would allow her to see the morning sun at best.

Li Zhiyuan deliberately kept this action secret from others, not even involving them, because he couldn't judge if this incident was another wave from Zou Jiang's causal chain.

For their sake, let them remain unaware temporarily, to avoid getting tangled with Zou Jiang's karma.

The array was not difficult and was quickly set up.

Two candles were lit, and a ball of thread stained with black dog's blood was used. One end was wrapped around Liu Jinxia's abdomen while Li Zhiyuan held the other.

The array was activated, and Li Zhiyuan planned to go first.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou's eyelids twitched. He hesitated first, then realized, stepped forward proactively, and said:

"Brother Xiao Yuan, transfer the spell to me."

Li Zhiyuan: "It's alright, I'll go first."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiao Yuan, let me go first."

Li Zhiyuan: "I know the spell is unlikely to transfer to me, so I'll go first."

Lin Shuyou: "..."

Li Zhiyuan began attempting to transfer the spell power, trying hard but, unsurprisingly, failing.

This was normal; even the Yin God wouldn't dare to come down to his body. That spell, which had a rudimentary self-awareness, would be strange if it dared approach him.

Li Zhiyuan passed the thread to Yin Meng and took a step back.

He knew it was unlikely for the spell power to transfer using people like them as mediums, but he had to try. Ideally, he could discover what kind of features the spell preferred, to address it properly.

He had sent Run Sheng to check the morgue, to ensure there was a body. Later, he planned to use Nuo Puppetry Technique to craft a corpse into something the spell power preferred, to lure it out.

Regarding the original owner of the corpse, compensation would be provided as needed, and he would personally conduct funeral rites to moderately appease it.

Yin Meng held the thread, and the array activated.

There was no response from the spell power.

She was a Yin Changsheng bloodline, even if quite diluted, and normal things wouldn't dare possess her easily.

Run Sheng's turn came; he held the thread, and the array activated, still no response.

Run Sheng carried Evil Qi, so that thing wouldn't dare approach him either.

Li Zhiyuan pursed his lips, realizing that when crafting the puppet, he'd have to further investigate its preferences.

The last person was Lin Shuyou. As a Divination Child closely connected with the White Crane Child, it was indeed almost impossible for there to be a reaction.

But when the array activated, Li Zhiyuan surprisingly noticed that the spell power, which had been dormant within Liu Jinxia, became slightly active.

Lin Shuyou noticed too and began actively luring it.

But even with a reaction, it wasn't enough for it to emerge.

Li Zhiyuan: "Stop."

Lin Shuyou let go of the thread, puzzled. "Brother Xiao Yuan, why only me?"

Logically, he should be the least likely to evoke a reaction under Brother Xiao Yuan, especially since Yin Meng and Run Sheng hadn't evoked anything, despite the lingering presence of the White Crane Child's aura on him.

Li Zhiyuan: "You have the White Crane Child's spiritual thought lingering on you. This spell power seems extremely sensitive to spiritual thought, even desperate enough to get excited over the child's spiritual thought."

Tan Wenbin: "Spiritual Thought?"

Run Sheng: "Zhuangzhuang."

Tan Wenbin: "If Brother Bin were here, his two godsons might just lure it out, right?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded, but the issue was, Tan Wenbin wasn't here.

Furthermore, he could randomly craft puppets but couldn't create spiritual thought. Catching Evil was another matter entirely, and currently, all of Nantong seemed to lack Evil.

The scene fell silent.

Li Zhiyuan spoke: "Meng Meng, watch over Grandma Liu. Ah You, keep an eye on Aunt Xiang Hou. Brother Run Sheng, you take me home."

After Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng left, Lin Shuyou said to Yin Meng: "Brother Xiao Yuan seems to have thought of a plan and went back to get something?"

Yin Meng nodded, "Probably."

Lin Shuyou: "I just wonder what he's getting."

Yin Meng: "Head next door, and you'll find out."

After a while, Run Sheng returned to the ward and opened the door.

Yin Meng curiously asked, "Where's Brother Xiao Yuan?"

Run Sheng: "They're behind me."

Yin Meng: "They?"

Soon, Li Zhiyuan walked into the ward, followed by another person...

It was Alii.
