Chapter 2: Video Tape Full Of Blessings
The first step in the autopsy is to inspect the external features. The girl was strangled to death, with clear strangulation marks visible on her neck surface. From the strangulation wound and the angle of force, it can be ruled out that the girl died by suicidal hanging.
They removed the red wedding dress from the corpse and took photos of her entire body. During the process of contacting the corpse, Yu Lianyun and her father were surprised to discover that this corpse, which had been dead for a long time, was unexpectedly soft and elastic, just like it had died not long ago. However, her grayish-white, dazed pupils indicated that the girl had been dead for at least several days.
From this, Yu Lianyun and her father began to feel a trace of unease, but they did not intend to think deeply about it and continued with the work.
According to the information sent by the law enforcement officers, this female corpse had no fingerprints and had not been entered into the DNA database. The law enforcement officers could not preliminarily find the identity of the female corpse in the world population database. To confirm again, Yu Lianyun checked the ten fingers of the nameless girl and found that the fingerprint surfaces of the corpse’s ten fingers had all suffered severe knife shaving before death.
Checking the toes, they were shocked to find that the girl had bound feet, and her ten toes had also been cruelly shaved just like her ten fingers.
From this, it is not difficult to speculate that the girl had suffered quite backward doctrinal baptism since childhood, had been subjected to cruel abuse not long before death, and was finally strangled to death directly by someone.
As the dissection of the nameless girl’s corpse became more in-depth, Yu Lianyun and her father gradually saw more and more incomprehensible phenomena on the girl.
The girl’s stomach and intestines were terrifyingly clean, as if she had not eaten for a long time before death and had even undergone a thorough stomach wash. So Yu Lianyun found a clean jade pendant in the clean intestines and stomach, along with some scattered skin morsels of meat. That was a case of opening the belly, obvious at a glance.
After testing, those skin morsels of meat were nothing else but the fingerprint and toe surfaces that had been gouged out from the girl. They were strung together by a black hair and then swallowed alive into the girl’s stomach.
What kind of devils were those who committed such adverse acts against the girl? Yu Lianyun and her father both thought this at the time.
Looking closely at the jade pendant, they could see that some kind of magic array was actually drawn on the jade pendant. The red string under the jade pendant connected two wooden tokens. One wooden token read “Jinxiu”, and the other wooden token read “Wang Zhongming”.
Seeing this pair of wooden tokens, Yu Lianyun immediately thought of the location where the girl appeared, and her “newly arrived” red wedding dress. She suddenly had a bold speculation.
Yin Matching!
Before she could share this answer with her father, Yu Lianyun found that her father was stunned, his gaze fixed dead on the corpse.
Following her father’s gaze, she looked down, and the beautiful scene before her eyes sent chills down the spine! The nameless girl, who had been skinned and fleshed open by their hands, had somehow put on her red wedding dress again. And when Yu Lianyun lifted the hem to check, she also discovered that the belly skin that should have been cut open was now as smooth and fair as before, as if she and her father had not performed any autopsy actions on the female corpse.
At this moment, Yu Lianyun and her father only felt their scalps go numb. Without a word, they threw down the autopsy tools in their hands and turned to run out of the room.
However, everything was too late.
The lights in the morgue suddenly flashed frequently, and a murmur like song or sob appeared out of thin air, lingering around the beams. The entire morgue’s scene suddenly became normal, clean and white as if washed, spotless, then abnormal, covered in flesh and blood, unknown flesh buds crawling out from the gaps in every room, beginning to grow wildly…
Yu Lianyun and her father struggled to survive in such an eerie and mad environment for a while, but not even a minute later, Yu Lianyun tripped over a scarlet flesh strip and completely fainted.
Before her vision went dark, she felt her body become very cold, her field of view showed freezing and frosting, and she was as cold as a corpse in the morgue freezer.
She thought this was a nightmare, and when she woke up, everything would return to normal.
But when she awoke again, Yu Lianyun found herself lying on a hospital bed, and soon learned from her grief-stricken mother that her father had fallen to his death from the corridor three days ago, while she had fainted in the morgue, skin-to-skin with the female corpse. The scene was always clean and tidy, with no traces of any autopsy work having been performed.
Yu Lianyun couldn’t help but grieve, but she still maintained a trace of reason. The unrelenting cold on her body told her that everything that happened in her memory was real. She reminded her mother not to approach that nameless female corpse, to burn the corpse… no, don’t enter the building, best to burn down the entire mortuary!
At that time, Yu Lianyun also felt that she had gone mad, but she knew this was the most rational act of madness.
As soon as the female corpse was mentioned, her mother’s facial expression became strange and unpleasant. She hesitated to speak but ultimately did not ask about what happened that day. She just told Yu Lianyun that the female corpse had been transferred away, so she shouldn’t worry, and then evasively said that her father had already been cremated during her coma, and after she was discharged, they would hold the funeral together.
Hearing the news that the female corpse had been sent away and her father’s remains hastily cremated, Yu Lianyun felt not the slightest bit happy; instead, she felt shocked and angry.
How could they cremate her father so hastily like this?
And she shouldn’t have been sent away either, shouldn’t have been transferred out; she must be burned!
Destroying her is the most correct choice!
That female corpse will be humanity’s nightmare!
Yu Lianyun’s mad appearance at the time made even her mother feel fear. She stayed away from the hospital bed for a while, not daring to speak, and could only watch as she was pinned to the bed by the arriving doctor and nurse together, then fell into deep slumber again under the soothing of a sedative…
Ten days later, Yu Lianyun was discharged from the hospital, but Yu Lianyun knew she had not escaped the shadow of that day. The cloud of death still hung over her head, and the cold haze was still slowly devouring her body and gnawing at her reason.
To survive, and for her father who had died miserably, Yu Lianyun endured the fear in her heart after discharge. She knew that giving up resistance to that invincible unknown and enjoying her brief remaining life was the most correct choice, but she still investigated that nameless female corpse.
Unfortunately, there were too few clues about the nameless female corpse, and the icy pain she endured intensified day by day. With her lone strength, her investigation progress showed almost no advancement.
The only few things she found were that the death features of the nameless female corpse matched a locally lost yin matching ritual, and after the incident, the nameless female corpse was transferred away by mysterious forces other than law enforcement officers.
Yu Lianyun also relied on her family’s limited fame and merits among law enforcement officers to barely learn from the captain of the enforcement third team that the mysterious force that transferred the female corpse was called the “Mysterious Group”, an organization specializing in handling such events. Apart from that, no one in the entire Jiunian City law enforcement branch was willing or able to reveal any more information.
Afterwards, Yu Lianyun wanted to continue searching for the whereabouts of the “Mysterious Group”, but she found it was like finding a needle in a sea, with no direction at all.
And it was while continuing to investigate the whereabouts of the “Mysterious Group” that Yu Lianyun learned from the internet about the strange happenings of a small shop in Yonghu Town, Laitai City. Someone said real exorcism magic items existed there. She, who was “terminally ill”, could no longer be cured through normal means, so holding onto a glimmer of hope, she came here.
After listening to Yu Lianyun’s story, Lin Ling silently took a sip of tea. He showed no sympathy, nor did he seem to be thinking at all. He was like a rational listener, simply listening to the story, never substituting himself into any role in the story from beginning to end.
“Boss, can you help me?” Yu Lianyun held a trace of hope. “Although there’s no evidence, I feel I won’t live past three days and will soon follow in my father’s footsteps.”
Lin Ling thought for a moment, neither nodding nor refusing. He simply stood up, walked to a shelf, and took a video tape from a cabinet on that shelf.
Seeing Lin Ling’s action, Yu Lianyun’s heart raced, ripples rising in her heart. She felt hope was in that thing in Lin Ling’s hand.
Lin Ling smiled and handed the video tape to Yu Lianyun, saying, “Take this back and watch it.”
“Watch?” Yu Lianyun was somewhat puzzled. Holding the plain video tape, she examined its appearance. It was pure black, with no packaging, no trademark or engraving visible.
But for some reason, Yu Lianyun felt another chill lurking inside the video tape. When she took it, her arms got goosebumps. This slight anomaly also made Yu Lianyun believe that some strange and mysterious power resided in the video tape.
“The rental period is seven days. Please return it to me within seven days,” Lin Ling said with a smile, his upward-curving mouth sharp, revealing neat white teeth. “It’s fine if you don’t return it; the purpose of extending your lifespan will still be achieved anyway.”
Yu Lianyun frowned slightly. “What exactly is inside this?”
“It can save your life.” Lin Ling’s smile was warm. “Take it back and watch, and you’ll know.”
“Can I only rent it?”
“Of course not.”
“Then I’ll buy it.” Yu Lianyun thought for a moment and said. After the cold in her body receded, her brain became clear again, her thoughts sharp. “Is that okay?”
“Of course.” Lin Ling gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
“The best method to eliminate difficulties is to face fear. This is a video tape full of blessings.” Lin Ling handed this black video tape to the guest in front of him who endured dimensional power invasion every day, and smiled. “If it’s useful, don’t forget to give a five-star good review.”
On-the-spot transaction, money and goods cleared. As Yu Lianyun left the shop, the redwood door, which had no automatic closing mechanism, closed by itself.
The woman put on her thick cotton coat again, as if feeling the biting chill once more. She hunched over as she left. The two ghost masks on the door leaf suddenly glowed faintly, their four eyes blinked, deeply staring at that desolate back figure.
“Will she come back?” Lin Ling sat on the rocking chair, stroking the black cat’s back hair while asking the black cat, somewhat like talking to himself.
The black cat looked up at Lin Ling and let out a lazy meow.
Lin Ling grinned, chuckling. “She clearly knows what might be inside that video tape, but she still bought it.”
“I should have pressed further,” Lin Ling said with a smile. “It was clearly something that happened while she was unconscious, but she didn’t seem surprised by her father’s death.”
No need to mention the prototype of the video tape; everyone should know it well. New book period, please bookmark and vote more, fellow readers. Wish me well in my cultivation~~~~
