While walking, Chen Xiaobei was playing with his cell phone. He then retrieved something from his treasure chest. His glare was cold as he walked towards the unique corpse.
“Open your eyes, Xiangxi Phantom Lord!”
All the children around him were bewildered when they heard what he just said.
“Big brother! Why are you talking to the dead body? How can a dead person open his eyes?”
“I thought you guys said he is dead? Where is his spirit?”
“This…”
“Other than that, the children that Xiangxi Phantom Lord captured are boys and girls. Forty-eight children are equivalent to twenty-four pairs of children. How come there is one extra child there?”
Left in bewilderment, the children put some thought into it and they found out there was something wrong with the last child.
“If I’m not mistaken… All the things that Xiangxi Phantom Lord did were completed by his puppet! His true self was always here. With that, he could stay safe all the time. And, he can pretend to be a corpse even if his enemies or law enforcement come looking for him.”
“So, he is our killer? But, his body is ice cold and he is not breathing. How is he alive?”
“The Black Tortoise Breathing Technique and feign death pill can help a person fake death! It’s actually pretty easy to see whether he is faking death!”
After that, Chen Xiaobei planted a Silver Needle of Damnation on his chest.
“Ah… This is so painful… Pain… I’m going to die… Ouch…”
Less than half a minute, the ‘corpse’ on the floor let out an agonizing scream. Clearly, Xiangxi Phantom Lord was the one that screaming!
“He is alive… That corpse came back to life! Big brother’s deduction is right on point!”
The children around Chen Xiaobei were freaked out when they saw the corpse move.
“Mercy… Brother… Mercy please… Too painful… Pain… Brother… Hero… Grandpa!!!”
Xiangxi Phantom Lord was begging hysterically. Considering that his physical body was not as strong as Lin Qisi, he began to twitch uncontrollably a few seconds later. It was so painful that he started to roll his eyes and foam in the mouth.
“Mercy? You f*cking garbage! The crimes that you committed are enough to incur the wrath of everyone that lives on this earth! Do you really think you still have the right to beg me to let you go? And, have you forgotten that I promised you that you will spend the rest of your life in a living hell?”
Not only he did not show any mercy to Xiangxi Phantom Lord, he planted a needle on his forehead, scalp, Dantian, both of his hands, and legs. Taking the needle on his chest into account, there were a total of nine Silver Needles of Damnation on his body. Not even an incredibly powerful elite could withstand the pain that caused by one Silver Needle of Damnation. Now, there were a total of nine Silver Needles of Damnation on his small and lean body. Words could not describe his pain anymore. He would definitely not hesitate to end his life if he was given an option to do so.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiaobei did not provide him with any options. He had to spend an eternity under the torture of Silver Needles of Damnation.
*Pheww*
Chen Xiaobei let out a long sigh. All his stress and frustrations were gone with the wind.
“Alright! Children, let’s continue!
Clearing his mind, Chen Xiaobei started to take a few pictures of the children and sent them to Yanwang. Normally, Yanwang would reply him instantly but this time Chen Xiaobei had to wait for quite a long time for Yanwang to reply his message.
Yanwang: Brother Xiaobei! Speak up quick! I’m talking to a very important guest! I have to make up some excuses to come out here! Soon, I need to head back!
“Eh? Very important guest? Yanwang is a deity of high rank. The one that he is talking must be some extremely powerful deity! I have to make it as quick as possible to not make his life difficult.”
Chen Xiaobei: So, this is the case. That group of children has curses on them! The curse prevents them from going through reincarnation. I want to help them!”
Yanwang: This is easy. All you need to do is look for Zhu Bajie and get some Divine River Spiritual Water from him. You can use it to wash away all those talisman inscriptions on their bodies. After that, the curse will be lifted up from them.
Chen Xiaobei: I want them to be happy in their next lives. Is there a way to do it?
Yanwang: This… There is… But, I don’t think it’s necessary… They are after all just children that have done no evil deeds. I’m pretty sure they will be reincarnated into good families.
Chen Xiaobei: Just tell me the way! I’m willing to pay the price! They saved my life during a life-threatening situation! I have to repay their kindness no matter what!
Yanwang: Just pay ten thousand merit points per child to get them a good reincarnation! In total, you will need to pay four hundred and eighty thousand for forty-eight children! This is not a small number! You have to put some serious consideration into it!
“Four hundred and eighty thousand?!”
Chen Xiaobei took a deep breath. He did not expect that Yanwang would ask for so much merit points from him. Considering that he had to use a long time to accumulate five hundred and eighty thousand merit points, everything would be back to square one if he agreed to pay Yanwang.
For sure, Chen Xiaobei did hesitate for a while. However, when he saw their innocent faces and thought about the rough journey that they been through, it was actually not that difficult to make the decision.
Chen Xiaobei: I will pay you the merit points first! Wait for me to wash off their talisman inscription. Then, you can proceed to help them with reincarnation.
Ding!
[Merit points are being spent. You have been downgraded to Philanthropist the Second!]
Ding!
[Your current merit points is 100,000. You still need another 200,000 merit points to proceed to the next level! (Charm: 10,000. Luck: 10,000)!]
Yanwang: Damn! You are crazy! You just sacrifice a huge chunk of your merit points for a group of children that have nothing to do with you! I’m impressed!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright. You can go back to your guest. I’m going to look for Zhu Bajie!
Upon closing the Yanwang’s chat box, Chen Xiaobei sent a message to Zhu Bajie immediately. Seemingly, Zhu Bajie had a lot of time in his hand. He replied Chen Xiaobei’s message within seconds.
Zhu Bajie: Brother Xiaobei. What’s up?
Chen Xiaobei: I want to ask some Divine River Spiritual Water from you. It shouldn’t be a difficult task for you since you are the one that manages the Divine River!
Zhu Bajie: That is actually not right! Though I’m the one that controls the Divine River, it is still the asset of heaven! The Jade Emperor will put the blame on me if I lose some of it!
Chen Xiaobei: Cut the crap! Tell me what you want! Now! ?
Zhu Bajie: Haha! Brother Xiaobei knows me well! I want… Hehehehe…
