"That makes sense. A secret they would guard with their lives can't be simple."

Moon Princess nodded slightly, "Anyway, we still have plenty of time, so let's take it slow."

"Let's go. From this moment, I'm going to keep a bit of distance from you."

She grabbed her bags and walked ahead, waving at him.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, then smiled silently.

There's no denying, home is where the heart is.

Being flirted with occasionally without an ounce of pressure.

If it weren't for various reasons and the influence of his parents, he probably would have just gone along with it.

Suga Shrine is located in Shinjuku District, hidden amidst old residential buildings, only five kilometers from the designated hospital, which is nothing for two on the Ghost Slayer Path.

This is also why Suga Shrine was chosen as the last stop of today's trip.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the good mood from the trip was completely overturned.

Because a Barrier is set here, ordinary people without spirituality cannot see the full view; only Ascenders can see the seals at the hospital entrance and the guards from You Ying Group.

"Such a strong smell of blood."

Gu Jianlin waved his hand and then took out his phone to access his messages, showing them to the guard.

Moon Princess did the same, which was their way of verifying their identity.

"Pass through!"

The captain of the security team said.

Then, Gu Jianlin saw the photos he had seen on his phone before.

This is a private hospital under You Ying Group, used to dissect the corpses of the Ancient God Clan and Ancient God Seeds for some unknown research. After Miyamoto Shosuke's death, naturally, his body was brought here, guarded by four Sixth Rank Ascenders, and thus shouldn't cause any problems.

However, just this morning, all four Sixth Rank Ascenders inexplicably died without a trace.

And with them, all the doctors and researchers in the hospital also perished.

The hall was covered in blood, with the shattered ceiling still dripping; bodies lay strewn across the floor, each face frozen in terror, eyes grey and fearful.

Without exception, each chest bore a large gaping hole, their organs already decomposing.

A pungent, fishy odor permeated the air.

The cameras and lights were destroyed, and sparks flew from the open electrical room.

Gu Jianlin attempted to profile, a dark hall appeared before him, the lights extinguishing in an instant, eerie shadows flickering in the darkness, swiftly butchering the people there.

No, that's not right.

He faintly sensed something amiss in the scene from his profiling.

"What's the matter?"

Moon Princess surveyed the surroundings; she wasn't particularly skilled at solving cases.

Gu Jianlin knelt down, carefully examining a deceased female nurse, who was very pretty, with long legs. But after being gutted, she was as horrifying as an Evil Spirit.

Her face, smeared with heavy makeup, was half-drenched in blood, gruesome and terrifying.

As he closed his eyes, trying to deeply profile for clues, a bizarre image suddenly flashed in his mind. The dead nurse opened her eyes, her half face covered by an iron mask, transforming into a hideous fanged ghost, while the other half displayed an eerie smile.

What the hell!

It felt like being inside a horror movie again.

Gu Jianlin wasn't afraid of horror movies anymore but dreaded the sudden shocks in them.

These days, directors aren't that great at creating a spooky atmosphere; they just suddenly scare you with loud noises.

But this time was different.

Because all the corpses in the hospital raised their heads, their half faces rapidly transforming into horrific ghost-like visages, while the unscathed half-face bore a ghastly smile.

It was as if countless grotesque creatures in the darkness were giving him malignant grins.

That terrifying, twisted face seemed familiar.

It looked a bit like... Kui!

"No, Kui is already dead, it's impossible to survive."

Gu Jianlin instinctively stepped back, those eerie corpses seemingly standing up, stepping toward him.

This strange scene was eerily reminiscent because the Pseudo Ancestors of the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion were like this too.

Only this time it was even more bizarre and terrifying.

Just then, Gu Jianlin noticed something.

All these people had a tiny wound on their foreheads.

And it was all in the same spot.
