Chapter 61: The Evil Body Awakening Ritual

Due to the Ghost Eye incident, the Fifteenth High School was closed for one day.

Students in other classes were fortunate to receive an extra day of vacation, while the three classes involved in the incident were forced to remain at school.

Twelve noon.

The Main Building.

Cheng Han pushed a small cart full of fruit and walked to the entrance of the conference room.

Three students happened to walk out together.

The moment they saw Cheng Han, their expressions suddenly became apprehensive. One student even averted his gaze, not daring to look at Cheng Han at all.

Their appearance was akin to a flock of sheep encountering a lion.

A tall student stammered, "Cheng… Inspector Cheng, good afternoon!"

In the past, everyone usually called Cheng Han by his name, but now they didn't even dare to call his name and instead addressed him by his title.

This was obviously very strange.

Cheng Han said calmly, "Are you going to the restroom? Come back quickly when you're done, it's almost lunchtime."

The three nodded repeatedly and hurriedly left.

Cheng Han shook his head slightly.

He understood in his heart that the news of him killing someone had reached the ears of his classmates.

This was unavoidable.

When he killed the person, the students of Class Three, Grade Three were right next door, and the entire class witnessed the scene. How could such a thing be concealed?

By the way, the school concealed Ye Qin's identity. Everyone only knew that Cheng Han had killed someone, but they didn't know that the goddess in countless people's minds had become a headless corpse.

Cheng Han entered the conference room with a hint of emotion.

Qian Qingqing's cheerful voice, filled with a smile, immediately floated over, "Cheng Han, did you raid the school cafeteria again?"

Regarding her deskmate's powerful ability to repeatedly "loot" the cafeteria, the little girl was initially surprised, amused, and extremely admired, but now she was used to it.

If anyone else did this, they would have been expelled long ago.

Cheng Han smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard guarding the Main Building, so I specially came to reward you all."

His gaze swept over everyone, and as expected, he found that many students also had a "rabbit seeing a black cat" look, not daring to look him in the eye.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little cold.

At this moment.

A female voice filled with anger broke the silence, "Cheng Han killed a follower of a heretical god and found the key item in the Ghost Eye incident. What is your attitude?"

It was Wan Tengjiao.

This short-haired girl couldn't stand it and resolutely stood up to say a fair word.

Qian Qingqing supported her deskmate, "If Cheng Han hadn't saved people in the Mushroom Cave, I'm afraid many people would already be lying in the hospital, not knowing whether they're dead or alive."

At this moment.

These two girls rarely reached a consensus.

The two couldn't help but look at each other, then quickly averted their gazes.

Wan Tengjiao directly displayed the authority of the class monitor and shouted, "If anyone puts on an ambiguous face again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The short-haired girl's style has always been quite tough, and no one doubted that she would do what she said.

Many students lowered their heads.

The room became even quieter.

Cheng Han didn't mind being feared, and said with a smile, "Alright! Let's have lunch, everyone."

Soon.

Boxes of food and pieces of fruit were distributed.

The aroma of food filled the conference room.

Cheng Han observed for a while and found that the students' condition was better than expected.

From last night until now, no student had seen the Ghost Eye again, indicating that the authorities were using the bookmark to curb the transmission of the Ghost Eye and had achieved some success.

He communicated with the True Flame Remnant Mark in his mind, walked to a student's side, and handed him a piece of fruit, "Dang Wen, why aren't you taking any fruit? Take it!"

At the same time, a wisp of True Flame power leaped into the fruit.

Dang Wen was a little overwhelmed and quickly took the fruit, "Thank you!"

In the field invisible to the naked eye, wisps of strange, flocculent energy emanated from this person's body and flew towards a mysterious place.

This was precisely the Ghost Eye drawing on the origin of the soul.

Cheng Han patted Dang Wen on the shoulder, "Balanced nutrition is very important. It's best to eat a few fruits every day."

Along with this action, the True Flame power transformed into a mysterious form and merged into Dang Wen's sea of consciousness using 'light energy transition'.

In an instant.

Another wisp of the soul's origin was extracted by the Ghost Eye.

No one knew that it contained a wisp of alien energy.

This was called—hitchhiking.

Cheng Han thought to himself, "The Ghost Eye is the whisper of a god. I can't deduce where the soul's origin is going, nor do I know what the God Descent Group wants to do, but I can secretly add a little something."

He quoted a saying from his previous life with a smug look, "This is called 'They can go, so can I!'"

Cheng Han said with a smile, "Fruits like 'Vermilion Fruit' and 'Golden Pill' can be bought for two copper coins a handful. If you eat some every day, you can prevent bleeding gums."

This was the "life hack" deduced by the All-Knowing Eye.

Dang Wen nodded repeatedly, his attitude like that of a student facing a teacher, "Okay, I'll remember that."

A group of students next to him listened attentively to him, firmly remembering the effects of Vermilion Fruit and Golden Pill.

Qian Qingqing praised generously, "Cheng Han, you know so much! I remember that the botany textbooks don't seem to mention what you said."

The others nodded in agreement.

Cheng Han smiled without saying a word.

*

A certain extremely hidden cave.

A bloody and brutal ritual was being held.

More than a dozen civilians were bound with ropes and escorted into the cave. A group of black-robed people slaughtered the civilians like they were butchering chickens and sheep, and then carried the corpses to a blood spring.

"Gurgle~"

The blood spring churned violently.

The blood flowing from the corpses seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force, flowing towards the blood spring like a tide.

In just a few breaths, the corpses became like mummies.

The black-robed people quickly carried the corpses away.

A hunched figure approached, observed the hideous corpse at the center of the cave, and muttered with satisfaction, "After the ritual runs for a while, the 'Evil Body' can be officially awakened."

Another tall figure revealed a look of anticipation, "As long as we have the Evil Body, we can teach those Mystics from the Tai'an Mysterious Pavilion a lesson."

At this moment.

A wisp of True Flame power, sent by Cheng Han using special means of 'hitchhiking', descended on the ritual site.

It was as if a drop of cold water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, and a change occurred.

The silver-white spearhead inserted into the back of the corpse's head suddenly flashed a burst of black light.

"Clang! Clang!"

The chain connected to the spearhead suddenly trembled.

The hunched figure was stunned for a moment, and said with a tone of doubt, "What's wrong with the 'Ghost Pupil Chain'? This has never happened before."

The tall figure guessed, "Could it be that the Ghost Pupil Chain has absorbed enough soul energy?"

The hunched figure flatly denied, "According to calculations, the ritual process takes at least two days. Only one day has passed, how could it be so fast?"

The tall figure was stumped.

After a moment.

A shrill scream suddenly emanated from the spearhead.

"Rattling~"

The Ghost Pupil Chain shook even more violently.

The Evil Body, which had not yet been fully transformed, suddenly opened its eyes.

Instead of eyeballs, there were two constantly wriggling masses of flesh in its eye sockets. Just making eye contact gave people a strange feeling that their soul would be sucked in.

The tall figure's tone revealed a hint of triumph, "Maybe the ritual is completed ahead of schedule. Should we proceed to the next step of the ritual?"

The hunched figure felt that something was wrong, "I have consulted the classics. The Evil Body's 'Death Soul Eyes' are definitely not like this. Something must be wrong."

A moment later.

The Evil Body's mouth suddenly opened to an astonishing angle, and a mass of small tentacles drilled out, saying in an extremely ear-piercing voice, "I… want… meat…"

The tall figure sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and his expression changed drastically, "Damn it, the Evil Body has turned against us!"

In the next instant.

The Evil Body pounced at an extremely fast speed.

The tall figure roared, and more than a dozen blood-colored tentacles shot out from his black robe, meeting the Evil Body.

A sudden battle broke out.

*

A moment later.

The Evil Body devoured more than a dozen followers of the heretical god, and its appearance underwent earth-shaking changes.

Originally, it was a corpse.

Now it was a huge mass of flesh.

"Boom!"

The mass of flesh exploded.

After a while.

A figure emerged from a shadow in the corner of the cave.

It was the hunched figure.

"Cough! Cough!"

He coughed a few times with difficulty, looked at the devastated cave, and looked blank, "The classics clearly stated that as long as the ritual is performed according to the steps, the Evil Body will never lose control. What exactly is going on?

The Evil Body awakening rituals had been performed many times before, and there were no problems, so why…"

No one answered.

The tall figure just now, along with the other followers on the scene, had already been devoured by the Evil Body.

Only the hunched figure relied on a secret technique to escape the calamity.
