Chapter 157 Ghostly Encounter, Corpse Explodes to Cause of Death

"Aaaaah~!"

"A ghost!"

"What's going on?!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Terrified, everyone fled in all directions; some had legs so weak they couldn't walk, crawling away in tears.

Witnessing this horrific scene.

The police officers were also startled. They drew their service pistols one after another, pointing them at the 'resurrected' corpse, whose face was bruised and streaked with blood. The muscles on the officers' faces twitched as they shouted:

"Who's there?!"

"Are you dead or alive?"

At that moment.

A scene that made everyone's hair stand on end occurred.

People in the livestream room also commented:

[Holy crap, I'm scared to death! *Sob sob* o(╥﹏╥)o~]

[Oh my god, a dead person coming back to life!]

[Call for Uncle Jiu!]

...

The corpse, which had died a miserable death, opened its mouth and said:

"I... died... so miserably..."

Hearing this.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat; only the brave or those too paralyzed by fear to move remained where they were.

Lu Xian, however, watched everything with a calm expression.

Because this was a 'wish.'

"Why did you die so miserably?!" one officer asked, holding his gun with both hands, his body tense as he stared at the corpse.

"My name is Xu Wuniu, from Xu Wu Village. I owed... the ghost... money... I struck it rich... but the ghost came to collect the debt..."

"Taking Ghost Money... the ghost will take your life in return..."

"I put the Ghost Money... my life was claimed by the ghost... why am I still dead..."

The corpse's voice was heard intermittently.

But those who were observant would discover the truth.

So the cause of death was being 'killed by a ghost'?

Ridiculous!

But a talking corpse was even more ridiculous and bizarre!

It was simply outrageous!

Thump~

The corpse lay back down once more.

Everyone on the scene was startled again.

After a minute, seeing that the corpse was no longer moving, the officers decided to call for backup.

In all their decades of life, this was the first time they had witnessed such a strange event.

The deceased was actually killed by a ghost?!

Most bizarrely, the truth was actually revealed by the deceased himself?!

If they reported the case this way, let alone whether anyone would believe them, if they dared to report the details like this, they would definitely lose their jobs.

However, their body-worn cameras had recorded everything before them.

This was ironclad evidence.

"Captain Chen, things seem to be getting out of control..."

The worst part was the crowd that had been watching and filming.

Some of them had captured that horrific scene while filming.

If this were uploaded to the internet, it would likely...

"Request backup, seal off Xiao Lingmu Mountain Village, and contact the higher-ups..."

The lead officer handled the emergency calmly.

It was originally a murder case, but now it was far more than that.

A dead man resurrecting and reporting his own cause of death.

It was truly a headache.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Captain Chen noticed Lu Xian turning to leave.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

He had also overheard the villagers chatting earlier.

Someone had mocked this... Temple Keeper? saying, 'If you're so capable, then solve the case.'

And then, in less than a minute.

That bizarre scene had just occurred.

A ridiculous thought flashed through Captain Chen's mind:

"Could it really be..."

But he quickly dismissed the thought; it wasn't something to be spoken aloud.

Before long.

Except for a few officers, everyone else at the crime scene had fled, afraid to stay.

The villagers and onlookers, filled with terror, began to spread the word about what had happened.
