Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 901: Corpse

As Jiangli approached the bedside, she felt the Yin Energy growing stronger.

Without thinking, Jiangli reached out and lifted the bedding on the bed.

Revealing the bed frame beneath.

It was just an ordinary bed frame, with a removable board for easy transport.

Fu Shiyan seemed puzzled by her actions and asked, "Lili, did you find something?"

"This bed has the strongest Yin Energy."

Jiangli replied, her gaze never leaving the bed board.

However, the board was clean, with no dirt, looking as if it had been washed.

Jiangli moved a little closer and felt the Yin Energy intensify.

She squinted her eyes, suddenly crouched down, and took a look under the bed board.

There, in the center of the back side of the board, was a spot with a heavier color.

Jiangli frowned slightly and reached out to touch it.

A hand reached out from beside her and suddenly pulled her back.

Turning her head, she saw Fu Shiyan lean in, saying, "Let me."

Jiangli was puzzled, then saw Fu Shiyan crouch down and touch the darker spot.

But, he couldn’t feel anything, nor was it blood.

Looking at his smooth fingertips, Jiangli frowned, "Not blood, huh?"

Fu Shiyan gave a light nod, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his fingers, "If it were dried blood, something should come off, but clearly it isn’t."

Jiangli continued looking inside, "But that spot has strong Yin Energy, it should be the source of the Yin Energy in this room."

Speaking, she extended her hand, feeling along the ground inside.

The floor was thick with dust, but aside from the dust, there was nothing else.

Just as Jiangli was about to withdraw her hand, her fingertip accidentally tapped the ground.

Thunk—

A crisp sound echoed in the room.

Neither Jiangli nor Fu Shiyan spoke; the room was particularly quiet, making the sound even clearer.

This was not a sound the ground should make.

Although these small buildings were stilt houses, due to the special structure of the village chief’s house, this last building was built nearly against sloped ground.

Such a hollow feeling should not appear.

Jiangli’s brow furrowed, she looked at Fu Shiyan.

Fu Shiyan said, "It seems hollow inside."

Jiangli acknowledged, then stood up.

Fu Shiyan followed suit, and without Jiangli needing to speak, he moved the bed aside.

After all, he was a man and stronger.

He easily moved the bed.

Jiangli walked to the spot her finger had touched on the ground, crouched down, and tapped on the ground.

Thud, thud, the echoing hollow sound came again.

Jiangli’s expression slightly darkened, she raised her hand to hook the floorboard and suddenly lifted it, revealing the space inside.

There was a compartment, with a bundle of cloth inside, like discarded sheets, thrown in there.

But at that moment of opening, the overwhelming Yin Energy proved it wasn’t so simple.

Jiangli stared at the contents inside, just about to reach in and take that sheet out.

It was then a thud sounded, and something fell out of the sheet.

In the next moment, a pale hand caught the eyes of Jiangli and Fu Shiyan.

Both Jiangli and Fu Shiyan’s pupils contracted simultaneously.

"This is..."

Jiangli looked at the ghastly, lifeless hand and stated coldly, "A corpse."

With just a glance, she could tell it was a dead person.

Judging by the floating deathly aura, they had likely been dead for a while.

Yet, there was no spectral presence here.

This meant the soul was absent.

Either it had gone where it should,

or it simply wasn’t in the room now.

"Why is there a corpse here?" Fu Shiyan heard Jiangli’s words, with little fear but a knitted brow, he asked.

Jiangli did not respond, instead, she reached in and uncovered the sheet inside.

A complete corpse appeared before their eyes.
