74: Chapter 74 Her Things are Sullied by Others 74: Chapter 74 Her Things are Sullied by Others As if recalling the excessively bloody scene from then, the young man’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
His lips quivered as he said, “It was horrifying.
The whole situation was so bizarre, it made my skin crawl.”
“Xiaoi was naked when she died.”
A male mber of the expedition team stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, Du Changheng, who was not too far away, felt his cheek muscles twitch and shot him a glare.
“What about later, did you guys see anything?”, Qiao Jiu stepped forward to inquire, his eyes intently fixed on the two teammates who had stepped out.
A precision-cutting instrunt?
How would there be such a thing in a deep, old forest?
It was either a preditated act, or the work of an evil specter.
The faces of the mbers of the expedition team showed despair.
The first young man who stepped forward spoke, “Xiaoi died and we were so scared that we wanted to leave this place, but no matter how far we went, as soon as night fell, we always found ourselves back at this deserted temple.”
“When Xiaoi died, she was with Changheng.
Did you notice anything off about her?”
This question ca from Ling Xiaoxuan; her gaze was on Du Changheng.
Though she was comforting a female teammate in her arms, she was still paying attention to the matter at hand.
At her words, Du Changheng’s already pale face turned even paler.
His lips quivering in alarm, he stamred, “No, she was as usual, there was nothing wrong!”
His sharp tone only made him appear more guilty.
Ling Xiaoxuan gave a comforting smile, “I was just asking, look how nervous you are.
Where is Xiaoi’s body?”
“It disappeared.”
The reply ca from the female teammate in her arms.
The teammate stared blankly at Du Changheng.
Suddenly, a malicious smile spread across her face.
“Xiaoxuan, do you know?
Du Changheng is a complete scum!
He was always hanging around Xiaoi, but that night he was ssing around with Xiaoi behind the temple, and that’s how the accident happened!”
As soon as this remark slipped out, all eyes were on Ling Xiaoxuan and Du Changheng.
The bodyguard from the Ling Family stared at Du Changheng, wishing he could pin him to the ground and give him a good beating.
Ling Xiaoxuan furrowed her brow, her complicated gaze falling on Du Changheng whose head was hanging low, it was hard to tell whether his expression was one of guilt or regret.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing.
Ultimately, she closed her mouth slowly, her face expressing an unresolved conflict.
When a male teammate ntioned earlier that Xiaoi was with Du Changheng when the accident happened and was naked at the ti of death, she already had an inkling sothing was off.
Being directly stated by soone, even if she was ntally prepared, she still felt a slight emotional disturbance.
The feeling wasn’t heart-wrenching, just very unpleasant, a distinctly discomforting sensation.
It felt like sothing that belonged to her had been tarnished by soone else.
Qin Ruan had been keeping an eye on Ling Xiaoxuan, noticing that she didn’t seem too affected made her breathe a sigh of relief.
She walked over to the female teammate, her lips curved into a questioning smile, “You said Xiaoi’s body disappeared?”
“Yes, we were terrified after she died and were going to leave imdiately.
Her body was cut into so many pieces that we didn’t even think about taking her with us.
But that night, we ended up back at the deserted temple.
When we went over to look at Xiaoi’s body again, it had vanished without a trace.
Not only that, even the bloodstains on the ground had been ticulously cleaned up.”
The Heavenly Masters, who had so understanding of the general situation, began discussing among themselves.
“Evil creatures often lurk in the mountains, and Qi Mountain is treacherous with sparse human activity.
It’s possible that a nefarious spirit discovered human presence and cruelly slaughtered them.”
“To cut a victim into perfect pieces, it doesn’t quite seem like the work of a malevolent spirit, it’s too elaborate.”
An evil spirit or a monster is usually crude and wild, just like a beast, filled with rage and savagery.
