The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 37: Mystery of the Dead

At midnight, a twenty-five-year-old woman looks fresh out of an elite office building. The woman walked alone on a quiet street with a dim light. Occasionally he fixes his sagging bag.

Strange noises began to sound as he passed by an empty house that had been uninhabited for a long time. The wind blew, making all the feathers bristling.

Right at the end of the road, he was suddenly startled by the appearance of a mysterious black figure. As soon as the figure turned around, it screamed in fear because the black figure's face was so terrifying. From his body came a black smoke that was very smelly.

The woman did not have time to ask for help as the figure directly attacked her. He thrashed, but his strength was not comparable to the power of the figure. His screams shrieked when his neck was strangled by the figure's hand.

Tightness and pain, that's how he felt. The woman felt her soul being pulled. As his breathing had already not blown and his heart had stopped beating, his body slowly dried up as if his entire blood had been sucked out.

The next day, Lingjing's office was shocked by the news of the death of one of their employees. Feng Shang rushed towards the scene that was already given a police line. Just as he was about to get close, several policemen confronted him. He then told her that the victim was his employee.

He was allowed to approach the scene. Feng Shang was so shocked to see the extremely miserable condition of the corpse. His body shriveled, his entire skin wrinkled. His bones were stiff and his face was facing upwards with his mouth open.

Some people who look choose to turn their faces away or close their noses. In addition to being sad and strange, his corpse also gave off a foul smell.

However, Feng Shang knew that this corpse did not die in the usual way. This kind of death case he had encountered in the Nine Heavens Realm ten thousand years ago. His condition was exactly the same as a god corpse whose energy was sucked out by the demons.

"It's more than just ordinary demonic air," murmured Feng Shang. A police officer approached, asked him to testify and was asked a few questions.

The police also thought the case was strange. This was the first time they had encountered such a terrible corpse lying on the street. They concluded that the perpetrator of the murder was so cruel that it drained the blood of the victim.

The body was then taken by ambulance to the hospital for an autopsy. But when lifted into the gurney, his body was very stiff like a stone. The officers forced themselves, but some parts of the body were hardened.

For the sake of dispelling suspicion, Feng Shang secretly used his magic to soften the muscles of the corpse. Miraculously, the corpse was instantly relocated and the journey to the hospital began. Feng Shang forced his way along because he was worried that the corpse's body was hardening again.

As soon as the autopsy results came out, Feng Shang still did not feel relieved. The results of his examination said that the victim was severely dehydrated until his body shrunk. In Feng Shang's eyes, it was clearly an extremely terrifying demoness.

But, he also could not tell the truth. This world was different from the Nine Heavens Realm. There are some things that cannot be equated, cannot be compared. An ordinary one in the Nine Heavens Realm might be a crazy thing in this world.

The body was then kept in the morgue for a while, waiting for his family to come for him. Police have also requested surveillance footage around the area to investigate what actually happened. If it really was a murder case, then they will investigate it completely.

"Director Feng was so considerate. He accompanied the autopsy process of his employees, "one of the nurses said when he saw Feng Shang still faithfully sitting in the waiting chair of the hospital

"But, the rumors about his relationship with President Shen aren't necessarily true, are they? A few days ago Director Feng was injured, and President Shen drove him here at midnight. Even wait till morning."

"If until President Shen hears about it, I don't guarantee the hospital director will be able to help you."

The two nurses stopped gossiping after being reprimanded by a doctor. Feng Shang stared at the departure of the two nurses with a sharp glance. It was not that he did not hear, Feng Shang had deliberately eavesdropped on the extent to which they would talk about it.

Feng Shang remained in the hospital until nightfall. He ignored calls on his phone that had sounded dozens of times. Feng Shang decided to investigate it himself, since relying on humans would definitely take quite a long time.

At midnight when things were quite quiet, Feng Shang quietly went to the morgue. After searching, he approached the gurney where the bodies of his employees were kept. He then began to use his magic.

Feng Shang peeked at the memories of the dead man. Although the owner is lifeless, but memory is the longest life in all nature. That is why one must drink the water of forgetfulness when crossing the river of the Hereafter, merely so that they do not suffer the consequences of the memory of a previous life.

"The demon's air is stronger than I felt in Xiang Sun's body before. Why did this happen?" feng Shang asked the group of corpses covered in white cloth.

Based on the memories he saw, it happened in the middle of the night when the woman came home after a long overtime. He was ambushed by a black figure and was immediately strangled to death, then his body shrunk.

From there he could conclude that this was the figure. The medical world might say that this corpse was lacking in fluids, whereas to Feng Shang, it was obviously all because all of his energy and soul were being forcefully absorbed.

"Is there perhaps another demon other than the one in Xiang Sun's body?"

Feng Shang was struggling with his own thoughts. No way, he thought. There can be no other demons in this world. All this time he had only found it in Xiang Sun. Except.... Unless the demons within Xiang Sun's body had become stronger and lost control.

This woman should not die!

Feng Shang wanted to restore the woman's soul core and revive her, but her soul core had already been lost to nowhere. The only thing he could do was send the rest of the woman's memories elsewhere. Let his consciousness form the core of the new human soul.

The moment Feng Shang finished flying the rest of the memories, he accidentally nudged the gurney of another corpse until it shifted. Unfortunately, the force was too strong until the gurney crashed into another gurney, causing a collision that made the position of the corpse above it shift.

As he tried to return his position to the beginning, someone suddenly withdrew his hand. Feng Shang was surprised. Under the dimness of the light, it was vaguely a tall figure standing looking at him. Hah, he thinks it's the undead.

"What are you doing here?"
