Chapter 116 Gangren's Suicide
After subduing the security guards, Leng's team quickly entered the building and took control of the situation.
After we entered the lobby on the first floor, we didn't rush to the basement.
Master Liu, along with Blind Zuo, hung a Bagua mirror at the bottom of the stairs, above the entrance to the basement, and then formed a formation with red ropes outside.
Having done all that, we opened the passageway door and went down the stairs.
The basement, which was previously used to store small agricultural machinery supplies, was nearly one hundred square meters.
After we came down, we immediately saw Gangren.
He was sitting cross-legged in front of a pottery urn, on which was a porcelain doll-like girl.
Seeing us enter, Gangren showed little surprise, but sighed and said, "All our efforts have been in vain; we'll have to wait many more years!"
After saying that, without giving us a chance to ask questions, he picked up a bone knife, aimed it at his own neck, and made a horizontal cut, and blood gushed out immediately.
He looked at us, a smug smile on his face, then his neck lolled to the side, and he was gone.
"Grass!"
The blind man rushed over, kicked Gangren over, and lifted the futon under his buttocks, revealing a small hole leading to an unknown destination.
"Second Master, the soul has run away! That damned bastard was prepared!" Blind Zuo cursed through gritted teeth.
"Let's ignore him for now!"
With a gloomy face, Master Liu approached the girl sitting on the pottery urn.
The girl wasn't dead, but she had lost all normal consciousness, which was almost the same as being dead.
Long Nier felt a little reluctant, so she carefully picked up the girl, put her on the ground, and took off her coat to cover the girl.
Lin Pangzi and I also felt a little sorry for her. This girl was finished. For her, living was more painful than dying.
We had long suspected what they had done to Gangren.
He was refining a flesh lotus artifact.
This is also why Fatty Lin attacked directly at the hospital that day.
The process of refining the flesh lotus artifact is inhumane, especially the third step of nine steaming and nine refining, which many girls cannot endure.
Freezing during the day and roasting by fire at night, it's unbearable for adults, let alone young girls.
"Grass!"
Just then, a loud crash came from the other side, and Fatty Lin overturned a tin box placed against the wall and swore.
I hesitated for a moment, walked over and took a quick look, and felt my heart clench.
Inside the box, seven or eight girls, their hands and feet tangled together, floated in the icy water; they were all dead.
There are three such boxes in total.
"Thump!"
A soft knocking sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a rustling sound from inside the box, and the girl inside moved.
"To resolve grievances and release grudges, to help people find their way back to where they belong..."
Looking at the girl trying to climb out, a look of pity flashed across Fatty Lin's face as he made a hand seal and chanted the "Supreme Three Lives Resolving Grievances Sutra".
"what!"
As the scriptures were recited, the seven or eight girls inside the box simultaneously let out a painful wail.
At the same time, two other metal boxes also made a thud, as the girls inside tried to climb out.
Upon seeing this, Master Liu and Blind Zuo did not hesitate at all. They immediately stepped forward, first wrapping the tin box with red rope, and then drawing talismans on the box with their blood to seal it.
These three metal boxes were a backup plan left by Gangren to buy time.
"Brother, don't worry, he can't run away!"
Long Nier whispered in my ear at that moment.
"Um?"
I immediately looked at Long Nier, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Long Nier nodded, a ruthless glint flashing across her face, and said, "Even when we worship the Cave God, we only use a young girl. How many people has he killed to refine the Flesh Lotus? This kind of person deserves to die!"
"Girl, you really can't escape?"
Seeing this, Master Liu also asked.
"Second Master, I know what I'm doing with the poison!"
Long Nier pointed to the small hole under the futon and said, "I just placed a sub-gu in there. Even if he was prepared and found a substitute to possess beforehand, he can't escape!"
"He'll definitely come back to me in three days to a month, or the substitute he prepared will die too!"
"What if he gets another body double?" I asked.
"Then let him change it!"
Long Nier snorted and said, "My Gu will stay with him. I want to see how many times his true spirit can withstand being possessed!"
"Ni'er, ordinary Gu poisons aren't this powerful!" Master Liu said meaningfully.
"Second Master, my Gu is extraordinary!"
Long Nier smiled mysteriously.
"All done!"
Fatty Lin let out a breath and closed the box again.
Seeing this, Master Liu did not ask any further questions, but turned around and drew a talisman to seal it.
"Second Master, what should we do with these girls?"
Fatty Lin pointed to the three tin boxes and asked.
"Bring them back to our place. In a couple of days, we'll have someone perform a large-scale ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife. After that, we'll have Captain Leng and the others take over and send them home!" said Master Liu.
"Second Master, this Gangren, his cultivation level is very high, isn't it?" I thought for a moment and asked.
Judging from Gangren's actions, he anticipated our arrival.
The reason he didn't run away was largely because he had been exposed, and with the girls' bodies there, he wouldn't have a place to stay in the country unless he went abroad.
Also, the girl we rescued from the pottery urn is about to be successfully refined; it may only be one last step away.
He wanted to take a gamble.
"That's an old bastard, he's lived at least two lives!" Old Master Liu snorted.
"There are many old bastards like him!" The blind man on the left touched his eyes, seemingly remembering something.
"Damn it, that bastard Gangren is too decisive. He committed suicide as soon as he saw us. If all those old geezers were like him, they would be really hard to deal with!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, stop thinking about it!"
Master Liu glanced back at the girl lying beside the earthenware urn, covered with clothes, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. He said, "I'll go up and call Captain Leng to send some men to carry the box out. You guys keep an eye on things!"
"Um!"
I nodded.
An hour later, all three metal boxes were carried out. The surviving girl was taken to the hospital, while the three of us returned to the clinic. The follow-up work was handled by Uncle Liu and Team Leader Leng.
"Fatty, have a drink, I feel choked up and uncomfortable!"
On the way back, I felt inexplicably stifled.
My original plan was to beat Gangren to a pulp, let the girls he killed take revenge on themselves, and let Gangren taste the pain of being devoured by demons. But he was prepared and committed suicide instead.
"Brother, don't be upset. If he hadn't escaped, he would have just died. Now that he's escaped, I'll show him what it means to be unable to live or die!"
"Long Nier said softly."
