I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 662 - 658: A Corpse

Fang Xiaocao’s spiritual power was constantly focused on Chong Ming’s every move.

All the way, Fang Xiaocao didn’t do anything else.

Just focused on this guy, wanting to see what he and Hou Qing were really up to.

Soon, Fang Xiaocao discovered something interesting.

Chong Ming was intentionally or unintentionally guiding everyone in the direction he wanted them to search.

Of course, that direction did indeed have traces of Hou Qing.

But each time, it was Chong Ming who discovered them first, and everyone else followed along.

"Interesting."

"Could the routes have been predetermined?"

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself, secretly guessing the meaning behind Chong Ming and Hou Qing’s actions.

Given the current situation, Fang Xiaocao believed the most likely reason was revenge against the Blacklist.

Besides that, she couldn’t think of any other reason Hou Qing would go to such lengths to guide her to a specific location.

Fang Xiaocao heightened her vigilance, spreading her spiritual power outward.

Using spiritual perception, she monitored every inch within a fifty-meter radius.

If anyone were to ambush within fifty meters, Fang Xiaocao would ensure she was the first to notice.

To avoid being caught off guard by a sneak attack.

Once she detected an ambush, Fang Xiaocao would immediately leave with Ying Gou.

If possible, she would also bring along Chong Ming or have Ying Gou kill him.

Anyway, as long as something happened, she wouldn’t let Chong Ming off the hook.

After all, she hated being deceived the most.

Under Chong Ming’s deliberate guidance, the group searched forward again for about a thousand meters.

This time, they finally saw someone —

Or rather, a corpse.

It was the body of a stout, short man.

His clothes were as ordinary as could be.

But his presence here meant that he was extraordinary in life.

Most likely a member of the Blacklist.

Before the Blacklist base was breached, he sneaked out through some secret passage, planning to escape.

But clearly, while he managed to escape the Blacklist base,

He couldn’t successfully escape death.

If King Yama wants you dead at midnight, you won’t see dawn.

Seeing this corpse immediately caused alarm among everyone present.

Even Ying Gou showed a look of surprise on his face.

Of course, they weren’t frightened by the corpse.

The people here who could be elite enough for the Blacklist.

They’re all people who have killed in battlegrounds, licking blood from blades.

Who hasn’t killed before? Seeing a corpse is just another day for them.

What startled them was that this wasn’t just any ordinary corpse.

It wasn’t even a human corpse anymore.

Because it had mutated.

Though only showing changes like skin color and some bodily details.

Everyone present understood that in life, this corpse was attacked by Old Zongzi.

Killed during the mutation process.

Fang Xiaocao approached as well. Looking at the corpse on the ground, she fell into contemplation.

"It seems not everything the doctor said is lies."

"Old Zongzi was indeed injected with the experimental results by him."

Fang Xiaocao murmured in her heart.

"Interesting!"

"Is it true or false, false or true?"

"Originally thought it was all false."

Fang Xiaocao coldly chuckled repeatedly in her heart, finding the situation increasingly intriguing.

"Is this Earth Dragon?"

"Jiang Chen’s Earth Dragon!"

"Don’t tell me, it really is him!"

At that moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Immediately others began to echo.

Confirming the corpse’s identity.

Hearing the crowd’s chatter, Fang Xiaocao thought "indeed."

She guessed absolutely right, the corpse was indeed a Blacklist member in life.

Moreover, it was one of Jiang Chen’s confidants.

"Could Jiang Chen be involved in this too?"

Fang Xiaocao secretly speculated.

But looking at Earth Dragon’s clothing on the corpse, it didn’t seem like he was out on a mission.

More like he had changed into casual wear specifically to escape.

If Jiang Chen were involved, sending Earth Dragon on a mission,

Why would Earth Dragon change into casual wear and end up dead at Old Zongzi’s hands?

That wouldn’t fit with standard logic.

Besides, Earth Dragon is Jiang Chen’s man, if sacrifice is needed, it doesn’t have to be him.

There are plenty of people in the Blacklist.

If a sacrifice was needed, proving Old Zongzi’s story is true,

They could easily pull someone else out for the task.

Using Earth Dragon not only lost Jiang Chen a trusted aide but also exposed Jiang Chen himself.

It doesn’t seem like the optimal choice no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, Fang Xiaocao was keeping an eye on Chong Ming’s expression all along.

When Earth Dragon’s body appeared, Chong Ming’s face also showed a clear look of shock.

This indirectly proved that Earth Dragon wasn’t part of his and Hou Qing’s plan.

Thus, Fang Xiaocao believed Earth Dragon’s escape was genuine, and Jiang Chen wasn’t necessarily involved.

Earth Dragon dying here was sheer bad luck, happening upon Old Zongzi and Hou Qing.

Perhaps he even discovered some secret.

Used by Hou Qing to test Old Zongzi’s toxins.

Killing him to keep secrets while proving to her that Old Zongzi’s toxin was real.

"Ying Gou, search the body, and do an autopsy,"

"Remember to take necessary protective measures."

Fang Xiaocao ordered Ying Gou beside her.

Ying Gou, being a professional surgeon by training, could still manage a simple autopsy.

"Yes!"

Upon Fang Xiaocao’s order, Ying Gou nodded.

Took out disposable gloves and a mask he carried with him.

Ying Gou carried these items with him, not because he loved his profession as much,

Nor because he was a clean freak when killing.

But to create specimens anytime, appearing more professional.

Ying Gou wore the gear properly, flicked his wrist, and a scalpel appeared in his hand.

"Everyone move aside. When you start puking, turn your heads."

"If anyone dares puke near me, you’ll be the next one dissected."

Holding the scalpel, Ying Gou threatened viciously.

All the people hearing Ying Gou’s threat immediately retreated a few steps in sync.

Ying Gou snorted coldly, walked up to Earth Dragon’s corpse.

Squatted down and didn’t rush into dissecting.

But followed Fang Xiaocao’s instructions of searching the body.

Ying Gou’s techniques were professional and skilled, clearly experienced in such tasks.

Three minutes later!

All the items on Earth Dragon’s body were laid out by Ying Gou on the ground.

A wallet, Earth Dragon’s ID, a bank card, a gold bar, a dagger.

Besides these items, Earth Dragon had nothing else.

"Princess Your Highness, all the items on this boy are here."

Ying Gou pointed at Earth Dragon’s relics on the ground, reporting to Fang Xiaocao.

Looking at the items on the ground, Fang Xiaocao frowned deeply.

Something seemed amiss.

Fang Xiaocao felt something seemed missing.

Yet for the moment, she couldn’t figure out just what was missing.
