"I... Right! My husband!" the woman exclaimed as if grabbing onto a life-saving straw, hurriedly saying, "My husband, he should know! He’s the pillar of our family; he should know everything."
"Where is your husband?" Yun Jiuqing asked in surprise.
"I...I don’t know either..." The woman’s face was filled with confusion.
"On your head." It was Fan Wu, who casually interjected at this moment.
The woman was startled, "On my head?"
She looked up at her head and saw only the broken rafters and a large hole in the roof; she saw nothing else. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"I wasn’t referring to you."
"I was talking about her."
The "her" in Fan Wu’s statement referred to Yun Jiuqing!
"Ah? Me?" Yun Jiuqing looked up in astonishment and, in the next instant, her pupils contracted to the size of pinholes, her face stricken with shock and horror, incapable of maintaining her composure. She nearly shrieked her next words, "What is that?"
Zhen Zhiyuan and Uncle Wang, who were behind her, were startled by her exclamation and instinctively looked up.
Suddenly!
Both of their faces were painted with fear, stepping back in shock, even drawing the knives at their waists.
"Wang...Uncle Wang...what is that thing?!"
Zhen Zhiyuan’s voice trembled as he spoke, feeling sweat pour from the palm holding the knife handle.
Uncle Wang swallowed hard, "Not sure..."
And then they saw...
Above Yun Jiuqing’s head!
A human head the size of a large jar was hanging upside down, its malevolent eyes staring intently at everyone present. Connecting the head was not a human body but a body like that of a huge black bat!
Two bat claws clung tightly to a crossbeam above, and large wings wrapped snugly around the body.
Hanging upside down.
It was truly terrifying.
"His neck..." Yun Jiuqing noticed prominent stitching marks where the large human head met the bat’s body; she could even see the stitches!
She didn’t know whether to refer to this half-human, half-beast, half-ghostly entity as "he" or "it."
She was baffled, as this was completely beyond her understanding.
The sight was not much different from the evil spirits in the Netherworld.
"This is a life harvest severing." Fan Wu explained, "They behead a person, catch a strange large bat, behead the bat, and then sew the human head onto it. And thus, a bizarre species is created."
As for how he knew?
[Guyue Village resident killed by life harvest severing: A - Life: 168 - Power: 5.56 - Skill...]
The attribute information above the other’s head had already explained everything.
After hearing Fan Wu’s brief explanation,
Uncle Wang then spoke up, "Although I have never seen a true life harvest severing, I’ve heard from some old figures in the jianghu say that some cruel performers in the martial world would stitch together living humans and animals in vicious ways."
"Those malevolent performers would then use these pitiful victims of life harvest severing to make silver. However, it’s said that even the most extreme life harvest severing only involves cutting off limbs and replacing them with those of animals. I’ve never heard of cutting off an entire head and attaching it to an animal’s body. I fear that the person would be dead before they could even stitch it."
The more Yun Jiuqing heard, the more disgusted she felt.
She thought she knew enough about the darkness of this world, but she realized she had been too naïve.
How could such evil people exist?!
She had initially thought the monstrous entity was some kind of evil spirit and was about to take out her magic artifact to deal with it.
At this moment, she hesitated.
Should she really kill such a pitiful person who had been turned into this as a result of such torment? If she did, wouldn’t Yun Jiuqing become an accomplice to the life harvest severing criminals?
She fell silent.
The situation before her left her rather at a loss, to the extent that she could only look to Daoist Priest Fan beside her, hoping he could help her make the right decision.
To her surprise, Daoist Priest Fan seemed to ignore the tormented soul above and instead addressed the woman, "Can you show the child to me?"
The woman nodded, her hand gently lifting the blanket, startling everyone stiff with horror!
What she cradled in her other hand was not a baby at all!
It was a baby’s head sewn onto her wrist!
Only a head!!
"Yeaa...yeaa..." The baby’s head sewn onto the woman’s wrist was making babbling noises, as if learning to speak.
This sight did not make the onlookers find it endearing.
Instead, it gave them goosebumps all over.
Cold sweat streamed down their backs.
Zhen Zhiyuan was starting to regret... why did he pretend to be brave and follow Daoist Priest Fan and Miss Yun here? If he had not come, he would not have witnessed this horrifying scene.
He felt that this scene was deeply etched into his mind, impossible to erase no matter what.
It made him swallow his saliva in fear.
