Chapter 39 The Blissful Meeting
Rushing into the hospital, Shen Qingyao sped towards the direction with the heaviest yin energy.
As we approached the end of the hospital corridor, a pitiful scream came from the outermost ward.
Hearing the screams, other patients and doctors in the hospital gathered around. A doctor knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
Shen Qingyao did not pause. Just as she was about to reach the door, her left hand began to form a hand seal, and her right hand took out a string of copper coins from her cloth bag. Under her incantation, the string of copper coins quickly and automatically stacked into a copper coin sword.
She pushed through the crowd and kicked open the door. Shen Qingyao's brows furrowed even more, and her eyes became even sharper.
"I never imagined you would actually be turned into a puppet! I miscalculated. I only cleared the Yin energy emanating from your body, but I didn't expect that this Yin energy had already corrupted your soul and merged with yours."
Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's voice, the puppet-like Mrs. Huang abandoned the corpse she was gnawing on and slowly turned around to look at Shen Qingyao with a sinister gaze.
The onlookers who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they screamed and scattered, running towards the hospital exit.
"Ghost!"
"Dead! Dead!"
"What is that? Run!"
"..."
At this moment, Meng Shuqin and Si Jingnian finally managed to avoid the fleeing crowd and arrived at Shen Qingyao's side.
"Mrs. Huang!"
When Meng Shuqin saw Mrs. Huang, who had become a puppet, her eyes were filled with shock and grief, and her eyes reddened.
But when her gaze fell downwards and she saw the half-eaten corpse on the ground and the bloodstains splattered all over the ward, she noticed that Mrs. Huang's cheongsam was covered in blood and that there was still some unswallowed flesh and blood hanging from her mouth.
Just then, a strong smell of blood hit Meng Shuqin's nostrils, and she couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to vomit.
Seeing this, Si Jingnian hurriedly and worriedly helped Meng Shuqin up, fearing that she would faint from the horror.
Although Si Jingnian was already used to seeing scenes of blood and flesh flying everywhere, he had never seen a scene like this where someone was gnawing on a corpse before, so a feeling of discomfort began to surge in his chest.
In contrast, Shen Qingyao seemed to have long been accustomed to such exciting scenes, and appeared to be completely unaffected.
"Si Jingnian, take the jade token I gave you and leave this place with Mom."
Shen Qingyao's expression was solemn as she spoke to Si Jingnian without turning her head.
This puppet is different from other ghosts and zombies. Although it has only been created recently, it is impervious to swords and spears, and ordinary talismans have little effect on it. Shen Qingyao is a little unsure of herself.
Even if things go wrong, she still has the ability to protect herself. But Si Jingnian and Meng Shuqin are different; they are just ordinary people, and facing such a puppet, they only have one way out: death.
Especially Meng Shuqin, even if she tried to escape, she couldn't escape at all, so not only could she not help her here, but she was also a constant burden.
Meng Shuqin had obviously thought of this as well. Although she was very worried about Shen Qingyao, she could only listen to Shen Qingyao and force herself to walk out despite her fear and nausea.
As soon as Si Jingnian and Meng Shuqin left, the seriousness on Shen Qingyao's face lessened.
Once the fight starts, she'll be able to unleash her full power without having to be timid and hesitant to take care of those around her.
"Now that the corpse puppet has been created, do you intend to remain hidden in the shadows, afraid to show your face?"
Shen Qingyao looked around warily, her grip on the copper coin sword tightening slightly.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! This young lady has a sharp eye, and she seems to have some skill too!"
As a man's voice rang out, a man in a black cloak slowly descended the stairs from the other side.
The man wore a very strange smiling mask, but his voice revealed him to be a middle-aged man.
Shen Qingyao dared not be careless, keeping a wary eye on him while also keeping a close watch on the menacing corpse puppet in the ward.
"Using living people to create puppets, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
The man laughed lightly again, as if he had heard a funny joke.
"Heaven's punishment? If Heaven were truly just, there wouldn't be so many evil people in the world."
“Young lady, you were able to easily dispel her yin energy, rekindle her yang lamp, and even identify the corpse puppet at a glance. I see you do have some skills. Why don’t you join our Blissful Society?”
"With your abilities, I believe it won't be long before you have a place in paradise. At that time, you will have supreme glory, and money and power will be yours for the taking. What do you say?"
The man's voice was very magnetic, and his words were full of allure, making one feel a sense of longing.
But Shen Qingyao's expression was unusually unpleasant, and her eyes were full of vigilance.
This Bliss Society was an organization she had never heard of before, and she had no idea what kind of existence it was.
"The Blissful Assembly?"
“That’s right, the Blissful Society, a supreme church, a club that is closest to God and was personally established by God.”
"Here, you can get everything you want: your lost lover, supreme power, countless gold and silver, and divine protection."
"As long as you join the Blissful Society, you will lose your troubles and have endless joy and happiness."
Seeing that Shen Qingyao seemed very interested, the man began to speak on his own.
As he spoke, the man slightly raised his chin, gently closed his eyes, and spoke with obvious rapture.
Shen Qingyao's brows furrowed more and more as she listened. According to the man's description, this was clearly a cult.
How many people are in your Paradise Society?
Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's voice, the man slowly opened his eyes, his intoxication replaced by coldness.
When he looked at Shen Qingyao, his eyes revealed a deep killing intent and vigilance.
“Many! Absolutely many. Our followers are everywhere. Young lady, you’ve asked far too many questions.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and the corpse puppet that had been watching him intently but had not yet attacked suddenly came to life.
Shen Qingyao looked at the corpse puppet rushing towards her, immediately raised the copper coin sword in her hand, then bit her finger and smeared the blood on the copper coin sword.
As the corpse puppet drew near, Shen Qingyao's copper coin sword struck it, instantly sending up a plume of white smoke.
The corpse puppet roared in pain and took two steps back, but soon launched another attack, lunging at Shen Qingyao.
Shen Qingyao easily dodged the corpse puppet's attacks with her agile body, and then slashed at the corpse puppet's back with her copper coin sword once again.
White smoke rose again from the spot on the corpse puppet's back where the copper coin sword had struck it. The cheongsam looked as if it had been burned, with a gash revealing the charred flesh underneath.
Upon seeing this, a chilling glint flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. He clenched his fists and slightly turned his feet, like a lurking, hungry wolf ready to strike at any moment.
Shen Qingyao naturally dared not ignore the truly threatening person beside her. She had to deal with the corpse puppet while keeping an eye on his movements out of the corner of her eye.
On the other side, Si Jingnian helped Meng Shuqin into the car, then took out a jade pendant from his pocket, put it in Meng Shuqin's hand, and then planned to turn around and go back to the hospital.
