“I can hear very few voices, unbelievably few” Ye Fei Li said.

“How many exactly?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“In the entire graveyard, I can only hear about 7-8 souls” Ye Fei Li replied.

“That can’t be right, that place is an old public graveyard with a few thousand graves, where did all the other souls go?” Gu Qing Shan wondered.

“That’s the part I don’t understand” Ye Fei Li took a sip of liquor.

Gu Qing Shan contemplated for a little bit, then asked: “What I asked you to ask your girlfriend, what did she say?”

Ye Fei Li answered: “She said after she died, something was guiding her, pulling her towards a certain direction”

Zhang Ying Hao and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.

Ye Fei Li continued: “But for some reason, the guiding power was suddenly cut off, and since she didn’t know where she could go, she stayed at her tombstone”

“The guiding power… was cut off…” Zhang Ying Hao unnaturally started cracking his neck.

All three of them fell silent.

They knew nothing about the world after death.

There’s no knowledge or examples for them to use as reference, so they can’t even tell what this is supposed to mean.

Gu Qing Shan just held the shot gla.s.s without drinking for a while.

If Ye Fei Li only knew that much, then there’s no real meaning in asking her further.

Are there any other information?

“Did your girlfriend say anything about the situation of the other souls in the graveyard?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Ah, she did mention that, but all she knew was that they were all people who recently died” Ye Fei Li replied.

“Recently died!?”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

It’s very rare for him to show such a clear fluctuation in emotion, Zhang Ying Hao was a bit surprised when seeing that so he asked: “What happened? Did you think of something?”

Gu Qing Shan mused: “Let’s say after death, people will be led by a force towards another world”

“But very recently, that force was cut off, which is why the souls of everyone who died recently all stayed behind in the human world”

“Does that theory make sense?” he asked.

“It makes sense” Zhang Ying Hao very seriously thought about it, then spoke: “If that’s the case, it would explain why Ye Fei Li was only able to hear a few souls”

Ye Fei Li still didn’t understand: “Then why did that guiding force suddenly disappear?”

Zhang Ying Hao shrugged: “Maybe some sort of strange thing happened in the world again”

Gu Qing Shan sighed and spoke: “Not yet, but I truly hope that the problem is actually on our world”

“Why?” Zhang Ying Hao was surprised.

“Because that way, we can at least think of a solution” Gu Qing Shan downed his gla.s.s in one gulp, then continued: “If the problem occurs in the world of the dead, then there’s nothing that we can do to solve it as living people”

The world of the dead.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li both went silent.

A problem occurred in the world of the dead…

It was too much of a wild guess that made it hard to accept.

Gu Qing Shan silently recalled the previous life.

There weren’t that many calamities that were related to the dead.

If he seriously thinks about it, the only one would be the Frost Calamity…

It occurred during the last stretch of the Apocalypse, demons and ghosts had already taken over the world, humanity itself had already collapsed.

It was a disaster with no hope of resistance for humans at the time.

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fists tight.

Luckily, right now there’s only a few souls stuck in the human world, not at all like that event.

I hope…

I just hope that it really isn’t that.

He silently prayed.

…

Liao Xing’s bedroom.

He looked through the cultivation scripture again, memorizing it.

Truly, a few people’s ability to comprehend and think was miles above others.

Throwing the cultivation scripture to one side, he closed his eyes and began to try sensing spirit energy again.

A few moments later.

Liao Xing was smiling.

“Such a wonderful power…”

A light breeze blew around his body, but didn’t dissipate.

This is the sign of spirit energy gathering.

“I want to… increase my const.i.tution!”

The wind suddenly dispersed.

“Ah, d.a.m.nit!”

Liao Xing opened his eyes again.

He felt a slight aching on his body.

This is the reaction of acupoints being too stressed.

If this happens, he can’t keep trying anymore tonight.

“What the h.e.l.l, was this the thing called being ‘too obstinate’ that the scripture book mentioned?”

Liao Xing turned on his computer, leaned back on the bed and began to search for a few doc.u.ments.

Then his hands stopped.

“Feeble body…”

He begrudgingly switched tabs to a recorded news channel.

On the screen, the President was standing in front of a grave, giving a speech.

[I believe, that everyone here mourns the pa.s.sing of the founder of modern genetic sciences, Genetic Expert – Professor Tang Jun…“

The President was slowly speaking on the TC.

“Old Tang is dead? No, I know that mad man is still alive, how could a good person like him die so soon?” Liao Xing begrudgingly complained.

He took out his Holo-Brain and began to search for the corresponding news.

“Founder of modern genetic sciences, Professor Tang Jun, a few days ago after a meeting with the President, suddenly had a heart attack and pa.s.sed away, unable to be saved in time”

Slight sorrow appeared in Liao Xing’s eyes, then was suddenly replaced by something else.

He put down the Holo-Brain and began to stare at the computer screen.

The President was still talking.

Liao Xing turned his head sideways, but still didn’t put his eyes off the screen for a single moment.

…

Living room.

“Alright, it’s no use thinking about these things right now, let’s just go back to rest first” Gu Qing Shan said.

Zhang Ying Hao also reminded: “Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan, both of you will be joining me at my company to learn a couple of new things”

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li nodded.

They left one by one.

Zhang Ying Hao were making call after call to arrange for the details of tomorrow.

Gu Qing Shan returned to his room.

As a Man Killer Fiend, Ye Fei Li doesn’t need to sleep so he threw himself onto the sofa.

It’s not yet time to hear the souls yet so he doesn’t have anything to do right now.

Ye Fei Li wanted to play some games, but then thought about Gu Qing Shan’s scripture book.

He pulled it out and flipped through.

A nice smell of new ink pa.s.sed through his nose.

“Newly printed…” Ye Fei Li muttered.

He read the first page.

At the very top of the first page, printed in triple big letters: “Do you want to see ghosts?”

See ghosts!

Ye Fei Li instantly sat up straight and seriously studied it.

Returning to his room, Gu Qing Shan sat cross-legged to meditate while taking out Qing Rou’s jade tag.

Scanning the jade tag, he carefully memorized all of Qi Yan’s personal information.

A few hours quickly pa.s.sed.

At midnight, Gu Qing Shan put the jade tag down.

He then began to circulate his Dantian’s spirit energy to get used to Ascended realm.

They had no idea how Liao Xing was staring closely at the President’s recorded speech for a second time.

The night went by.

Morning of the next day.

Zhang Ying Hao had already left earlier.

Liao Xing used a small-sized Interstellar Wars.h.i.+p to head to the S.W. Divine Temple to continue the categorization and recording of the scriptures.

Impartial G.o.ddess brought a prototype temporary genetic appearance reconstruction serum.

Thinking about it, Gu Qing Shan had Ye Fei Li use it first.

Ye Fei Li quickly took on Qi Yan’s appearance.

“Looks exactly like him, seems like Man Killer Fiends can still use appearance reconstruction” looking over Ye Fei Li from head to toe, Gu Qing Shan commented.

“But my eyes are still blood-red”

Impartial G.o.ddess’ voice came: [After 7941 experiments, final conclusion drawn: Man Killer Fiend’s signature characteristics cannot be changed with genetic modification]

Hearing that, Ye Fei Li appeared a bit lonely.

“How are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Fei Li squeezed out a smile and said: “It’s fine, how long will I remain in this appearance?”

“5 days”

“That’s quite a while”

“You’re still a wanted person outside, so looking like this is actually safer”

“Alright then”

Outside, a shuttle was ready for them.

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li went out and got on the shuttle together.

They left the mountain top mansion.

“Where are we going now?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“The capital, Zhang Ying Hao arranged some people waiting for us there” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Where is he?”

“He already went ahead to prepare”

Ye Fei Li commented: “Seems like it’ll be quite the welcome, I didn’t think he’d be that serious about it”

Gu Qing Shan agreed: “Yeah, I feel the same”

“Then what exactly are we learning?”

This is something that Gu Qing Shan was also wondering.

He only knows that Zhang Ying Hao will create a special learning problem for things that they have to learn.

As for what exactly, he doesn’t know.

“I probably will have to learn how to disguise myself, you will probably be the same” Gu Qing Shan said.

A few minutes later, the electronic voice of the shuttle announced that they were above to arrive.

“I want to return home to her at night” Ye Fei Li said.

“Your time, you manage it” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Ye Fei Li put on a cap and a pair of sungla.s.ses.

“No need to wear sungla.s.ses”

“Hm? Why?”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly took out a well-decorated box and put it on the table.

“For you” he said.

“What is this?” Ye Fei Li was curious.

“I promised that as long as you’re able to restrain your desire to kill, I’ll make sure you’re able to return to a normal daily life”

“This is the latest cutting-edge technological product, a perfect bionic optical supplement” Gu Qing Shan explained: “I specifically bought this for you to return to a normal human life ——-perhaps even after this training, you can go meet your mother”

“Really!?” Ye Fei Li became very excited hearing that.

“That’s right, you no longer need to stay in one place all day. If you’re free, try and catch up with daily technological advances, it’s slowly but surely changing our daily lives” Gu Qing Shan very sincerely spoke.

Ye Fei Li stared at him for a while: “I’ll make sure to keep that in mind”

He quickly opened the box.

There was a pair of optical contact lenses inside.
