Chapter 347: Chapter 239: The Corpse Came Back to Life!

“Ji Mingrui!”

“Feng Zhaoqing,” he scolded sternly, “stop pretending to be crazy. You killed eight people, including your own mother and brother. It’s absolutely insane… and you still want to get out of here?”

“Hmph!”

“Delusional!”

“Roar!”

It seemed that Ji Mingrui was provoked by Feng Zhaoqing’s words.

His pupils shone with an eerie red light, and he let out a beast-like roar, pouncing directly at Feng Zhaoqing with incredible speed, even faster than most martial artists who had achieved “Body Refining,” Plan!

But what was Feng Zhaoqing’s cultivation level?

He lifted his right leg and threw a whip kick directly.

The young man who had pounced on him flew backward with even greater speed and hit the steel-cast wall hard!

Bang!

A dull noise echoed, and the young man slid down the wall with blood in the corner of his mouth. However, he seemed unaware of the pain, like a fierce beast pouncing on its prey. He bared his teeth and growled lowly.

“Master Xu.”

Feng Zhaoqing cast an inquisitive look and asked, “Did you see anything unusual?”

An ordinary person suddenly gaining such immense strength and even enduring a martial arts grandmaster’s whip kick without suffering severe injury, how could this be explained by just having a “mental issue”?

Xu Yang activated his Dharma Eye and looked at the young man again.

However, he saw everything was normal; the young man had no Yin energy or evil energy, no demonic or malevolent energy. Instead, his vitality was strong, only slightly inferior to Bai Wei, a “Half-step Grandmaster.”

Xu Yang frowned.

He immediately used the Dream Creation Skill to lead the young man into a dream state.

Just a moment ago, the roaring and furious young man felt his eyelids become unbearably heavy. In just three seconds, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the ground.

Xu Yang “saw” his dream.

Through the “Dream Creation Skill,” he brought out some deep memories from the young man’s heart.

In Ji Mingrui’s dream, he was a junior high school student.

During a summer vacation, he attended a summer camp…

However, during this “summer camp” journey, he was bitten by a dog.

It was recorded in Ji Mingrui’s files that he was bitten by a wolf-dog at the age of 13 while participating in a summer camp activity. At that time, his family even sued the camp organizer, and he received his rabies vaccination shots on schedule.

Xu Yang, in Ji Mingrui’s dream, “saw” the moment he was bitten by the wolf-dog.

That was no wolf-dog; it was a real wolf!

No!

Real wolves aren’t that big!

In Ji Mingrui’s “dream,” the wolf had a size comparable to a tiger. It bit him and quickly ran away. When the camp teacher came after hearing his screams, they only thought he was overly frightened from his description of the wolf.

After all, wolf-dogs and wolves…

Look pretty similar!

For a while, the 13-year-old Ji Mingrui had been having nightmares until after he had completed his five rabies shots. His symptoms had significantly improved.

Gradually, he had even forgotten about the incident.

Until August 2nd, the fifteenth of the sixth lunar month.

Ji Mingrui suddenly went mad!

According to his “medical record,” he was working in a barbecue restaurant at the time. When the moon came out at night, he stared at it for a while and then suddenly told his coworkers he was a werewolf.

They thought he was joking from watching too many movies, but Ji Mingrui started eating raw beef and fish on the spot.

Afterward…

His family took him to various doctors and hospitals.

In just ten days, they visited many hospitals without finding any issues. Doctors determined that Ji Mingrui might have been affected by something, causing a mental disorder.

And so…

Yesterday, August 13th, Ji Mingrui, accompanied by his mother and brother, went to Wan Qian’s psychological clinic.

In Ji Mingrui’s “dream,” Xu Yang saw that the doctor who treated him was Wan Qian’s newly recruited doctor. While administering psychological treatment to Ji Mingrui, he used hypnotic therapy…

After that, Ji Mingrui completely went insane, resulting in the horrifying incident.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang opened his eyes slowly.

As for the unconscious Ji Mingrui on the ground, due to the “Dream Creation Skill” being interrupted, he suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up.

Xu Yang waved his hand.

Ji Mingrui entered the dream state once again.

This time, Xu Yang only led him to sleep, without “watching” his dream memories.

Seeing Director Feng and Bai Wei looking at him again, Xu Yang thought for a while and asked, “Director Feng, do werewolves really exist in this world?”

“Werewolves?”

Feng Zhaoqing paused, glanced at the unconscious Ji Mingrui, and said, “Werewolves and vampires are creatures from European mythology and do exist in the West. Minister Wang once fought a werewolf master in the past. Over the years, our border guards have also killed a few werewolves and vampires attempting to infiltrate Da Xia.”

Xu Yang was not surprised by this answer.

Since there were Yin spirits, ghosts, monsters, and zombies in Da Xia, why wouldn’t there be werewolves and vampires in the West?

Bai Wei’s eyes twinkled and asked, “Does Master Xu mean… Ji Mingrui is a werewolf?”

Xu Yang nodded.

Bai Wei continued, “In Western folklore, werewolves are a kind of half-human, half-animal. They look no different from humans ordinarily, but they transform into werewolves on the night of the full moon, becoming irrational and extremely brutal…”

“Ji Mingrui’s symptoms do seem like those of a werewolf, but how can an ordinary person suddenly become a werewolf… Wait!”

Bai Wei seemed to have thought of something and immediately pulled out the information about Ji Mingrui, looking at it carefully.

Her gaze stopped at the description of the incident when Ji Mingrui, during a summer camp activity, was bitten by a wolf-dog. The description in the data was very detailed because the case had gone to court.

Not only was the time accurately recorded, but also the location was marked!

“Director Feng…”

“Eleven years ago, wasn’t a werewolf killed by the Spirits Management Bureau in this area?”

Feng Zhaoqing recalled and said with bright eyes, “That’s right. At that time, there was only the Xi Xia branch, and we didn’t have our Wu City team yet… I had just entered the Xi Xia branch at that time… I can’t believe you know about this.”

Bai Wei said, “I have studied a lot of information, and I thought this case was very interesting, so I took note of it.”

“So does that mean that what originally bit Ji Mingrui wasn’t a wolf-dog but a werewolf?”

Feng Zhaoqing said, “But why would it take so many years for him to change after being bitten… No!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Zhaoqing suddenly exclaimed, “Ji Mingrui is 23 years old this year, and he was bitten when attending the summer camp at the age of 13… That was ten years ago, and we killed that werewolf eleven years ago. The timing doesn’t add up!”

At this moment, they suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

A staff member of the Spirits Management Bureau burst into the second floor of the underground and quickly arrived at the cell door, panting, “Director Feng, Bai Wei, Master Xu… It’s bad news! Those corpses… They’ve come back to life!”

“What?”

Feng Zhaoqing’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately dashed out of the cell.

Bai Wei and Xu Yang also quickly left the cell, closed the heavy steel cell door, and followed.

…

Next to the Wu City branch office building of the Spirits Management Bureau, there was a two-story building.

There was a spacious room inside with small beds lined up, and the air-conditioning ran 24 hours a day, maintaining a low temperature… Because this was where the Spirits Management Bureau stored the corpses!

Unlike the morgues in hospitals and funeral homes.

There were no body refrigerators here… After all, any corpse that could be brought to the Spirits Management Bureau had problems and would usually be dealt with quickly. Investing in body refrigerators would be a waste of money.

At this moment, the morgue was incredibly lively.

On the ground, there were eight torn white body bags, and eight “corpses” that had come back to life were struggling on the ground, emitting low growling sounds from their mouths.

They had all been bitten to death by Ji Mingrui, with terrible injuries on their bodies.

But now, the wounds were healing rapidly.

A few staff members of the Spirits Management Bureau stood guard at the door, looking at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Being part of the Spirits Management Bureau, they had seen many strange cases.

The phenomenon of corpses “coming back to life” was not rare for them, to be honest.

For example, being possessed by a fierce ghost, bitten by a zombie and infected with corpse poison, or being controlled by some evil martial world masters with secret techniques… But these eight corpses clearly had no such features.

“What’s going on?”

Feng Zhaoqing arrived quickly.

And Xu Yang and Bai Wei followed closely behind.

When they saw the situation in the morgue, they already had a general idea…

Just like zombies.

Being scratched or bitten by werewolves or vampires could also cause “infections” and transformation.

However, it was the first time they had seen such changes after being bitten to death.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Xu Yang’s eyes shifted.

He sensed a different aura from the eight “corpses” than that of Ji Mingrui, and he immediately activated his Dharma Eye to examine them carefully. He saw a rich aura of death and Yin energy hovering over the eight corpses!

Indistinctly, Xu Yang also felt a trace of evil energy!

This evil energy was unique to zombies, and having lived with Yun Mengxi for so long, Xu Yang was more familiar with it than anything else!

Roar!

One of the “corpses” let out a deep animal-like growl, trying to break out of the morgue.

Xu Yang flipped his hand, and a “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” flew out, landing precisely on the forehead of the “corpse.”

The next moment, that “corpse” seemed to have had a Body-fixing Skill cast on it and froze in place!

Feng Zhaoqing and Bai Wei exchanged a glance, their faces changing!

Werewolves are human-beast hybrids, and as such, they don’t fall into the category of Yin spirits or malevolent beings!

Normally, the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman shouldn’t work on them…

The fact that it does now means that these eight “corpses” were not just infected by the werewolf bites!

“Master Xu, what’s going on?”

Feng Zhaoqing cast a puzzled look.

“That depends… who exactly turned Ji Mingrui into a werewolf!”

Xu Yang spoke and then suddenly changed his expression. He took out another seven Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans and threw them out, then turned and ran outside, saying, “Director Feng, I have something else to do. For now, just seal up these eight corpses!”

“Wan Qian!”

It seemed Bai Wei knew what Xu Yang was thinking, so she immediately followed and said, “Master Xu, it’s hard to get a taxi at this time. Let me drive you there. I know the hospital room where Dr. Wan is!”
