Chapter 271 Corpse Hidden in the Mountains
Wu Xian stayed at Zhou Xingsen's house until dark.

From today onwards, nearby residents will only remember that someone was gambling in the community, and someone was forced to commit suicide after losing the bet. No one will think that this matter has anything to do with evil spirits.

Wu Xian drove home alone.

I was thinking while driving, with the White Ghost Poker behind the steering wheel.

"Forbidden knowledge..."

Actually think about it carefully.

Wu Xian also had the opportunity to bring the forbidden knowledge in the blessed land into reality.

For example, on Luowang Island, the blacked-out notebook should have recorded relevant content, but Wu Xian did not go the route of solving the puzzle, so he missed this part of knowledge.

Also, in the old house of the Liu family, Wu Xian had seen the evil method of stealing people's lifespan. If he performed one more show at the banquet of evil spirits, he could also obtain the evil method of sucking people's lifespan.

As long as people have a decent IQ, when they encounter similar knowledge, they should be able to realize that learning that knowledge may lead to disastrous consequences.

But some people just like to die...

"Perhaps... the strict secrecy of the City God's knowledge of the blessed land is actually to protect the world. If everyone knew about the existence of the blessed land, even if they were repeatedly warned that the things in the blessed land were dangerous, there would still be people who would take the risk and want to get rich overnight by relying on the power of the ghosts and gods in the blessed land."

Put forbidden knowledge aside.

Wu Xian looked at the White Ghost Poker and felt a little headache.

After breaking the shrine, this deck of cards absorbed some of the power from the human skin cards, so that each card had a skin-like texture.

But this change made poker more difficult to use. The friction on the surface of the poker increased, making many of Wu Xian's techniques unusable.

For Wu Xian, this was tantamount to a reverse upgrade.

"If you have any new features, it's better to tell me yourself. It's a waste of time to test new features bit by bit..."

Crunch!

Wu Xian was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He turned the steering wheel sharply and the car stopped diagonally on the side of the road.

His eyes were fixed on the White Ghost Poker.

The moment he said that, it was as if someone suddenly touched his hand, and the touch was exactly the same as that of White Ghost Poker's skin!
"Could it be..."

Wu Xian opened the certificate of ordination for his family members.

There is a sentence in the description of White Ghost Poker on the certificate of ordination.

'The remnant is unclear, and the cards are unclear.'

Wu Xian didn't pay attention to this sentence at that time.

It was thought that the power absorbed by the White Ghost Poker was too dirty, causing the certificate to be unable to tell what the poker had been upgraded to. It would only be clear after the resentment on it dissipated.

But now it seems.

The so-called residual resentment should refer to something more specific.

Ga...ga...ga...

When the sound of crows was heard, Wu Xian looked out the window and immediately frowned.

Outside the road, there were lush weeds, dense trees, and uneven terrain. Looking back, there were no tall buildings to be seen for a long distance. There were few people around, and no car passed by for a long time. There was only the warm light of street lamps flickering.

"Where is this place?"

Wu Xian looked back at the car's tablet. The navigation on it showed that this was the only way for Wu Xian to get home. However, land in Fuyuan City is very expensive. How could there be such a large piece of wasteland within the urban area?

So Wu Xian opened the map on his phone and found that this was already a desolate suburb on the edge of the city.

"Oh, it seems like I've been tricked."

Wu Xian picked up the White Ghost Poker and squinted his eyes and thought for a while.

I felt that my coming here was inseparable from this deck of cards, and that there must be a reason why I stopped here. The real world was generally safe, and no matter how unlucky my family members were, they shouldn't encounter evil things one after another.

"That hand just now..." Wu Xian realized that he stopped here because it must be the aftermath of Zhou Xingsen's gambling incident.

"Skin, human skin poker, Zhou Xingsen..."

Wu Xian got out of the car and looked around for a while, and found a small path nearby. The grass on the road was very tall, and there should not be many people walking on it. Wu Xian walked over, squatted down, pushed the weeds aside, and found two deep tire marks on the road.

"From the traces, it should be a suitcase, and the things inside are very heavy. It should have passed by a few days ago... Hey, it's so remote, it's a good place to dump the body."

Wu Xian chuckled, took a flashlight and an engineer shovel from the car, and while pulling through the grass to confirm the traces, he walked up along the traces.

Didn't go far.

I saw a piece of ground covered with only grass sprouts. The soil here had obviously been turned over, so it must be the burial ground.

Even though Wu Xian found the target easily, this is already a very reliable way to deal with killing someone and hiding the body. Under normal circumstances, all the traces will disappear in ten days or so. Unless there is a heavy rain that washes the body out, it will be difficult for the body to see the light of day again.

As soon as Wu Xian stood still, he heard a faint female voice coming from the mud.

"Help me...please help me out, it's so dark, so wet, and there are bugs in here."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows and immediately swung the shovel. It didn't take him long to dig out a female corpse from the ground.

The female corpse was wrapped in plastic. When the plastic was removed, it could be seen that the body inside was already rotten and covered with maggots, which looked very disgusting.

Normally, the corpse should not have been so rotten in just a few days, but when Wu Xian turned her over, he saw that her back was blurred and the entire skin on her back had been peeled off.

"That's true..."

Such evil things as human skin playing cards don't seem to be rewards for worshiping gods, so they are most likely made by Zhou Xingsen himself in the real world.

But in the real world, cremation was enforced many years ago, and it was difficult to find a corpse that he could skin, so Zhou Xingsen targeted a living person and peeled off the fresh skin from the woman's body to make human skin poker.

Think of this.

Wu Xian felt that the skin-like texture on the White Ghost Poker was a bit disgusting.

However, since the White Ghost Poker inherited some of the power of the Human Skin Poker, it is only right for Wu Xian to help Zhou Xingsen settle the cause and effect of the murder.

Wu Xian asked gently, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

A pitiful sound came from the corpse.

"I want to go home. Can you carry me home? Only in my home can I sleep peacefully."

"Where is your home?"

"My home is in...Matsue City."

Wu Xian frowned. That was really far away. Then he looked at the woman's disgusting body and asked, "Do I have to carry her on my back? Can't I send her by car?"

"At least, please carry me down the mountain."

Wu Xian's mouth twitched: "Then wait until tomorrow and I'll find someone to carry you, okay?"

"You...you dislike me, tell me, I am ugly now, wuwu..."

The female corpse began to cry, and as her crying progressed, the surroundings became gloomy and cold. Wu Xian didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the corpse was slowly moving.

"dislike?"

Wu Xian laughed immediately.

"I don't mind at all, but there is a better way to let you rest in peace..."

"any solution?"

Wu Xian's face turned cold, and he swung the poker in his hand. A flame flew out and landed on the corpse.

"Cremate on the spot!"
