Song Yan's face changed drastically as she looked down at the half-rotting corpse. Her eyes swept over the ground as she continued to sweep the dirt away from the ground while the large python behind her tried to get up and stop her from going any further but the immobility talisman which had been refined by Song Yan for more than a week kept it in place and Song Yan did not have to worry about anything as she continued to clean the ground with her foot which had been dirtied by the rotten flesh of the corpse.
The more she continued to wipe the ground, the more she realised that this enclosure was not at all simple. The corpse which was sitting next to the half-rotting one was a bit older yet it was in the same condition as well while next to it was a pile of bones which were hidden beneath the rib cage of the rotting corpse. The corpses which were still rotting and the ones who have rotted were piled up one after another which meant that the raised platform was filled with more and more corpses.
Even Song Yan who had seen many horrifying things before could not help but be shocked when she realised that the platform on which she was standing was not a simple enclosure platform but a mound of graves which were piled up one layer after another. Her face changed drastically, as she looked at this small enclosure before her eyes fell on the many enclosures where snakes and large tarantulas were being raised by Chen Chu Chu.
If this enclosure was filled with so many half-rotting corpses which were sucked dry of blood, organs and skins then just how many more corpses were buried in those enclosures? Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi were two demons who needed to replenish their rotting organs every few weeks which meant that until they were past eighteen and were allowed to leave the military district, they would have used this greenhouse to hide their evil deeds.
So just how many corpses must have been buried in this greenhouse? Hundred? Thousand?
When this thought came into Song Yan's head even she could not help but shudder as she clenched her hands and then unclenched them, she knew that what she had just found was nothing but the tip of the iceberg, it was only when she will break open these enclosures one after another will she be able to deal with Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi.
" AHHHHHHHH!" Just as Song Yan was thinking about her next step she heard Chen Chu Chu's scream and turned to look out of the greenhouse, a knowing glint flashed in her eyes as she took out a memory modification talisman which took her a month to refine and threw it at the python.
Given that this thing was trained so well that it knew that it needed to stop anyone who tried to break into an enclosure, Song Yan had a feeling that either Chen Chu Chu or Chen Xi knew how to talk with this thing, in case they realised that she entered this enclosure it will be really troublesome.
She looked down at her trembling fingers and suppressed a groan which was filled with pain as she used the last bit of her yin energy to burn both the talismans until nothing was left before leaving the python's enclosure just as the thing inside started to slither quietly again without showing any signs of aggression anymore.
"Sister-in-law," Yan Guo rushed to Song Yan, he wanted to ask what was going on but then he saw Song Yan take off a dirty shoe which smelled strangely of rotten flesh and then throw it aside causing it to vanish before taking out a new pair of shoes from thin air. Since Yan Guo did not know about the existence of the space ring, he only thought that Song Yan used her powers which was why he did not say anything and then waited until Song Yan was done putting on the shoes before he opened his mouth and questioned again,
"Sister-in-law Yan, are we going to——" he wanted to ask whether or not will they arrest Chen Chu Chu but Song Yan shook her head and stopped him from making a move. " Stay away from her for the time being."
Her Ying energy was running really low after suffering from the heavenly retribution because she went against the laws of the heavens and saved Xiao Mei when she was supposed to die, if Xiao Mei had stayed in the Yan house, her retribution would not have been so strong but for the sake of alerting the entire military district, she had to take this risk causing her to suffer like this.
If Yan Guo made a move and pushed Chen Chu Chu to a corner, she was afraid that she will not be able to save him or anyone else in case Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi decided to fight until the fish dies or the net broke.
Seeing that Song Yan was asking him to not make a move, Yan Guo was a bit stifled but he knew that Song Yan will not say anything like this without a reason which was why he swallowed his refusal and nodded before walking together with her and striding over to where the scream came from.
As soon as the two came out of the greenhouse, and headed towards the entrance of the Chen family, they saw a crowd of onlookers surrounding Chen Chu Chu who was lying on a stretcher with a pale face.
Song Yan's gaze fell on the long, ghastly scar which was running down Chen Chu Chu's hand making it look like she had lost an inch of her flesh along with one of her pinky fingers missing and her lips curled in a derisive smile. No wonder Chen Chu Chu was never caught, this woman was so ruthless not only to others but even herself!
"…My poor daughter!" Mother Chen cried as she tried to hold Chen Chu Chu in her arms but Chen Chu Chu was bleeding so much that she did not dare to touch the latter at all. With her eyes turning red, Mother Chen covered her mouth and sobbed heavily, she truly did not understand what was going on, one second there were multiple corpses found in the greenhouse and then her daughter was attacked by something.
Did her Chen family get cursed by something? Maybe it was time for her to call a master!
Yan Guo's eyes flashed and a deep furrow appeared between his brows as he looked at Chen Chu Chu and then looked at one of his soldiers before asking what was going on.
The soldier did not waste a single second as he replied to Yan Guo and told him that Chen Chu Chu was attacked by something monstrous while they all were searching inside the Chen house, they all rushed out to find the thing which attacked Chen Chu Chu but did not find anything all they saw was Chen Chu Chu on the ground while Chen Xi who was standing beside Chen Chu Chu fainted in fear.
" Miss Chen said that the thing which attacked her did not look like it was human at all!" The soldier was rather excited when he said those words, he did not expect something like this to take place in just one day and now that he was standing in the middle of the Chen house, he felt that the entire place was shrouded in a sort of evil energy.
Yan Guo's frown deepened as he turned to look at Song Yan who was smiling with a knowing look in her eyes though her smile was really small, Yan Guo caught it and something clicked in his head as his expression twisted and he turned to look at Chen Chu Chu with a complicated look in his eyes as he waved the soldier away, " I get it. You can go now, take Miss Chen to the medics."
He wasn't the only one who was looking at Chen Chu Chu with a confused look in his eyes, Commander Chen was the same, he looked at Chen Chu Chu and could not help but furrow his brows, he was standing right in front of Chen Chu Chu, how was it possible that just in a flicker of a few seconds when he turned to look away, something as this happened—— was that thing blessed with superhuman speed or something?
How come he never caught sight of anything?
Commander Chen was suspicious of Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi but when he saw that one of his sisters was bleeding and the other was unconscious, he could not bring himself to doubt them any further but at the same time he was a bit doubtful regarding the incidents which took place behind his back I within a few seconds!
The next chapter will be updated in a few hours.
