1715 Resolution (4)
The tumor on Yuan Yuan’s inner leg both scared and stupefied the doctors in the hospital; almost the entire hospital was in an uproar. However, Yuan Yuan woke up in time, refused all free examinations by the hospital, and left in a hurry, so the matter was reluctantly dropped, and the hospital experts who wanted to study the tumor had no chance of doing so.

Later on, there would be many legends about human-faced tumors in the hospital. The more they spread, the more magical they became, and some people even brought up the supernatural, which was closer to the truth; it was just that there was no concrete evidence of human-faced tumors in the hospital at the time. Secondly, although everyone said that it was a supernatural matter, they might not really believe it unless they saw it for themselves. In the end, the noise died down, and the matter only became the subject of occasional gossip in the hospital.

On the other side, Chi Shuyan and Gu Yunzheng were still focused on dealing with the dirty thing, which had already been forced into a corner. Who knew how many of the faces on its skin they had already peeled off, but this thing had only spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood and wasn’t fatally injured. Gu Yunzheng was so tired that his forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Master Chi again, but her expression remained unchanged. Her face hadn’t turned red from exertion, and she seemed a little absent-minded at that moment.

Gu Yunzheng’s heart tightened. He gritted his teeth and persisted. Less than a minute later, he really couldn’t help but say hurriedly, “Fellow Daoist Chi, I… can’t take it anymore. This thing… how on earth are we going to deal with it?”

He had thrown out a few talismans just now, and Fellow Daoist Chi had also sent out a lot of fire to burn the thing. Apart from becoming a little weaker, this thing was completely fine. Gu Yunzheng was very tired.

“No hurry!” Chi Shuyan replied calmly.

Gu Yunzheng choked. Just as he paused to take a breath, that thing went around Fellow Daoist Chi to attack him as the weaker link. Gu Yunzheng had wiped his cold sweat and slowed down for a bit, only to see the thing pounce on him. Gu Yunzheng subconsciously dodged. When he saw the thing actually run toward the door, Gu Yunzheng’s face changed drastically.

Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chi was there. Before the thing could escape, Fellow Daoist Chi’s body flashed and she quickly kicked the door shut. There was a loud bang, which startled Gu Yunzheng and the thing.

The next second, he saw Master Chi suddenly raise her hand, which glowed with a white light, and slap it down on top of the thing’s head. There was the sound of breaking bones, and the thing immediately let out a sharp and miserable scream. It only lasted for half a second before the thing instantly turned into a pile of minced meat at the door.

That thing had messed around with Gu Yunzheng and Fellow Daoist Chi, who hadn’t been able to do anything to it despite their efforts. Now, it turned into a pile of minced meat at Fellow Daoist Chi’s hands?

This plot twist was too abrupt, and Gu Yunzheng still couldn’t snap back to his senses. He was stumped for a long while before he stuttered and asked Fellow Daoist Chi, “Fellow… Fellow Daoist Chi, this… is it over?”

Seeing that Fellow Daoist Chi didn’t reply, Gu Yunzheng repeated, “Is it really over?”

Chi Shuyan nodded.

Gu Yunzheng stared fixedly at the lump of minced meat at the door. After confirming that it could no longer recover, and that this thing couldn’t be any more dead, he heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that it’s over!”

As Gu Yunzheng spoke, he was going to ask Fellow Daoist Chi again who owned this place. Did the owner know about this thing or not? However, thinking about it, it was unlikely that the owner didn’t know; it was most likely intentional. What goal did she want to achieve by keeping this thing?

“Fellow Daoist Chi, shall we leave first?” Gu Yunzheng said again, prepared to chat as they walked.

Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, was still staring thoughtfully at the pile of minced meat at the door. Gu Yunzheng hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist Chi, I’m sure that this thing can’t be any more dead. It’s impossible for it to reappear to harm people.”
To prove that he was right, Gu Yunzheng even walked closer to verify that the thing was really dead – the thing was just a pile of bones and minced meat.

But just as Gu Yunzheng finished confirming it, he turned around and saw Fellow Daoist Chi staring at a safe in the room. Not only that, she also broke the lock of the safe, opened it, and took out a matryoshka doll.

It looked very ordinary, so Gu Yunzheng didn’t think much of it. He was just curious as to why Fellow Daoist Chi was suddenly interested in this little toy. He was about to walk over and take a look with Fellow Daoist Chi, when he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of danger in his heart. He turned his head abruptly and saw that the lump of minced meat at the door had suddenly reformed at some point and the thing had returned to its original appearance.

Gu Yunzheng didn’t expect this dead thing to stand up and come back to life. His face turned green and he immediately shouted at Fellow Daoist Chi, “Fellow Daoist Chi, it’s bad. Something happened. Something really happened. This thing came back to life!”

“It’s fine!”

Gu Yunzheng almost choked to death at Fellow Daoist Chi’s excessive calm. That thing wasn’t in a hurry to deal with Gu Yunzheng. Instead, it suddenly reached out and tore off a few layers of its own skin. Then, it raised its head and suddenly snorted a few times. Gu Yunzheng didn’t understand what this thing was trying to do at all. His face froze as he saw a face suddenly appear on the thing’s face. He was quite familiar with this face, but he couldn’t figure out where he had seen it before. It was just that it was especially familiar, so he had probably seen it recently.

This face was different from the rest of the wrinkled human skin, and seemed to fit right in on this thing’s face. Not only that, the cadaveric qi on this thing increased dramatically. Seeing that the thing was about to pounce on him, Gu Yunzheng was alarmed and hurriedly shouted for Fellow Daoist Chi to save him.

Without hesitation, Chi Shuyan smashed the matryoshka doll into pieces and crushed it under her foot. The dirty thing revealed a horrified and stiff expression for one moment, before a mournful, ear-piercing howl suddenly rang out. Then, there was the sound of breaking bones. The thing in front of Gu Yunzheng turned into a lump of ‘meat’ once more and crashed to the floor.
