Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Terrified Ghastly Corpse, Is This Panda Really a Crimson-robed Ghost?

Audiences around the world watched helplessly as Ruan Chunxiang died a horrible death.

She seemed to have gone mad in the elevator!

Clearly, only a little blood had seeped from the top of the elevator.

But she thrashed about wildly as if she were drowning.

She was even waving a scalpel around!

It was as if something was constantly approaching her.

Trying to escape!

She kept slamming her body against the elevator walls!

Until her limbs were broken and twisted!

But the elevator remained completely still.

Finally.

As if she held a grudge against herself, she plunged the scalpel into her own heart.

The entire process was exceptionally bizarre!

Many people who watched got goosebumps all over.

Beyond their shock and suspicion, they were even more baffled by Yun Zhenyue!

[Wh-wh-what... what just happened?]

[But nothing happened to the Dragon Country woman at all!]

[Hiss~ Something’s wrong. There must be something we don’t know, or maybe Ruan Chunxiang triggered some condition that caused her to die in the elevator.]

[I thought it was strange earlier. There’s definitely an elevator ghost, but it let Yun Zhenyue go and chose to attack Ruan Chunxiang. Why the different treatment?]

[Could it be that it’s afraid of Yun Zhenyue?!!]

[Impossible. Yun Zhenyue didn’t bring anything with her, except for that panda doll on her shoulder—]

At this point, many people realized something.

This panda doll.

Could it really be what some had speculated earlier?

That it possesses Crimson-robe level power?

...

"Hm?"

Yun Zhenyue was a little puzzled when she suddenly received a notification from the Marriage System.

’How did Ruan Chunxiang suddenly die?’

’Wasn’t she just fine a moment ago?’

’It’s only been a few hours since she was kicked out by the ghost doctor. No matter where she hid, she shouldn’t have died this quickly.’

"What’s wrong?"

Shangguan Mu, who had been holding her breath beside her, asked.

Yun Zhenyue shook her head. "It’s nothing."

She didn’t give the matter any more thought.

The two of them were now standing at the entrance to the morgue.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of formalin, mixed with a faint stench of decay that made one’s throat tighten.

The morgue door was ajar, ready to swing open with a gentle push.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mu’s heart pounded with fear.

She knew next to nothing about morgues.

All she knew was that the ghastly corpses inside were exceptionally terrifying.

One of the corpses held a special Ghost Artifact—the Memory Surgery Needle.

Sticking it into one’s own skin would allow them to acquire the corresponding memories.

CREAK~

Before Shangguan Mu could recover from her nervousness,

Yun Zhenyue took the lead and pushed open the morgue door.

She scanned the room.

Over a dozen corpses lay on the morgue floor.

They were all covered with white sheets.

Their faces were obscured.

In the far back, two rows of cold storage lockers were open, but they were empty, emitting a faint, chilly air.

Yun Zhenyue felt nothing.

Naturally fearless, she quickly walked over to the corpses.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mu also hurried over.

"Be careful, these corpses are ghastly..."

"Mm."

Yun Zhenyue hesitated slightly.

She couldn’t find the corpse mentioned in the mission prompt.

Under Shangguan Mu’s shocked gaze,

Yun Zhenyue gently lifted the white sheet from a corpse’s face, revealing a shriveled visage.

The ghastly corpse’s lips were shrunken into a twisted arc, as if locked in a silent, sinister grin.

"Hm?"

Yun Zhenyue saw there was nothing in its hand.

She covered it back up with the white sheet.

The corpse: "..."

The ghastly creature was about to start cursing!

’What the hell!’

’Do you think you’re lifting a bride’s veil at a wedding?’

Yun Zhenyue turned to the dumbfounded Shangguan Mu and said, "Senior, come help me look."

"Wow."

Shangguan Mu’s lips twitched.

The two of them quickened their pace, checking all the corpses one by one.

Finally.

They found the Memory Surgery Needle in the hand of a corpse near the corner of the wall.

But when Yun Zhenyue tried to borrow it,

the corpse clutched the needle tightly, refusing to let go.

It was only then that Shangguan Mu looked at the cold storage lockers in front of them, looking thoughtful.

"Xiaoyue, stop trying to pry it loose."

"I remember now. To get the needle, we need to carry this corpse to one of the cold storage lockers."

"The needle is a thank-you gift."

’So that’s how it is.’

Yun Zhenyue had a moment of realization.

...

Carrying a corpse?

This shocking scene stunned the audience in Dragon Country.

While the female players from other countries were still trembling with fear,

these two had already run off to a morgue to carry a corpse?

How could they be so gutsy?

[I have a bad feeling about this.]

[Yeah, if getting the needle was that simple, wouldn’t someone have taken it already?]

[Not necessarily. Maybe Yun Zhenyue really knows what she’s doing.]

[Did you guys see that? The corpse... it looked like it was smiling?]

[Don’t tell me there will be serious consequences for carrying it?]

...

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two of them,

the ghastly corpse’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

’Someone else fell for it!’

’My ability is very special!’

’As long as someone lifts me and puts me into a cold storage locker!’

’Once we’ve been in contact for a certain amount of time!’

’I can swap bodies with the carrier afterward!’

’Then the carrier will become the corpse, and I will be reborn!’

"This corpse is so heavy."

"Senior, you take the head, I’ll take the legs."

As the ghastly corpse felt Yun Zhenyue and Shangguan Mu lift him,

a powerful sense of anticipation welled up inside him!

’This little mouse is so young. I’ll have to make good use of this body!’

But just then!

Out of the corner of his eye, the ghastly corpse happened to glimpse the panda doll on Yun Zhenyue’s shoulder.

The panda doll wore a mocking expression.

Its hollow eyes seemed to be saying,

’Keep playing dead!’

’Just see if I don’t beat you to death!’

A terrifying, oppressive, and bloodthirsty aura faintly washed over it.

It was even more terrifying than the hospital director!

BOOM!

It felt as if a giant bell had been struck in his mind!

The expression on the ghastly corpse’s face gradually froze.

’This...’

’What the hell is this thing?’

’What kind of decent person brings a panda along to carry a corpse?!’

A chill shot up its spine!

’Never mind the fact that with this panda doll around, the chances of me successfully swapping bodies are pitifully small!’

’Even if I did succeed, I’d probably be beaten to death on the spot!’

’I might as well just keep lying here!’

’This woman, could she be toying with me on purpose?’

The ghastly corpse was so scared its body went stiff, and it continued to play dead!

But at that moment!

"BANG!!"

Because the ghastly corpse was too heavy!

Yun Zhenyue accidentally slammed its head into the wall!

It made a loud noise!

The ghastly corpse immediately saw stars!

Its head spun with dizziness!

It almost cried out in pain!

But under the panda doll’s gaze, it could only grit its teeth against the pain and continue to play dead without moving a muscle.

"No, it’s too heavy. I’m pretty strong, but why is this corpse so heavy? It must be several hundred pounds, right?"

"Senior, let’s switch."

Yun Zhenyue said in frustration.

As the two put the ghastly corpse down and switched places,

it was still heavy!

Like it was filled with lead!

A distance of only a few dozen meters!

The two of them struggled for ages, but only moved a few meters!

This made the ghastly corpse complain endlessly in its mind, and it came to despise its own ability!

’To ensure longer contact time with the carrier, I made myself very heavy!’

’And now it’s backfired on me?!!’

’These two ancestors...’

’Just how long are they going to take to carry me?!!’

To get them to finish carrying him and leave quickly,

the ghastly corpse took advantage of the cover from the white sheet.

It secretly lowered its right foot.

Its toes touched the ground.

It stood on its tiptoes!
