Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 381 - 411 Confession and Repentance
Whooo~~ The chilling wind howled.
Zhao Xiaoqiao shivered. Just the thought of Long Xiaoshan summoning the resentful spirits made her feel a chill down her spine, and now, with the cold wind rising and darkness enveloping the light around, she felt even more spooked and instinctively moved closer to Long Xiaoshan.
"Don’t be afraid, your instructor brother is here," Long Xiaoshan turned his head and winked at her.
"Who’s scared?"
Zhao Xiaoqiao’s face flushed a delicate red as she huffed.
However, she didn’t move away. Although she had encountered supernatural cases at the Special Action Division, women have an innate fear of ghosts and spirits.
"What, what are you doing?"
Qiu Haitao shouted loudly.
He had come to his senses, restrained by Long Xiaoshan’s seal on his acupoints, unable to move. Watching the eerie glow of the blood-red runes on the ground and feeling the chilling wind, he was inexplicably panicked.
Long Xiaoshan sneered and said, "Don’t rush, I’m about to introduce you to some old friends."
Giggling, giggling...
As soon as he spoke, a faint children’s laughter drifted through the air.
"What, what sound is that?" Qiu Haitao frantically looked around, but apart from the pitch darkness, he couldn’t see anything.

But when his head inadvertently glanced at the ground, his heart nearly stopped.
"Ghosts, ghosts!"
Qiu Haitao screamed because he saw the pale face of a child emerging from the ground, and this child had only a head above ground while his body was buried. The child’s hand reached out, propping against the earth, slowly crawling out, and the horrifying part was that his head was twisted 180 degrees.
Zhao Xiaoqiao’s face also showed a trace of terror, and she couldn’t help but cling to Long Xiaoshan’s arm, moving closer to him. Long Xiaoshan’s body seemed like a furnace, which made her feel of coldness disappear.
Giggling, giggling...
The laughter became more frequent, coming from all around.
From underneath the ground, more and more children emerged. Most of these children had broken limbs, decayed bodies, and twisted arms and legs, crawling like spiders across the floor in a terrifying manner.
It seemed as if they saw Qiu Haitao because the children were all crawling towards him.
"Get away, get away!"
Qiu Haitao kept screaming, but he couldn’t move his body, watching as the children climbed onto him. The cold chill, like snakeskin, made Qiu Haitao so frightened that he felt a warmth in his groin and an unpleasant smell wafted out.
Hiss~~
Suddenly, a child opened his mouth, showing rotten black teeth, and bit into Qiu Haitao’s body.
Qiu Haitao screamed in agony.
Hiss, hiss.
More and more children climbed onto him, biting his head, neck, and body. Qiu Haitao was nearly submerged by these ghostly children, and blood sprayed continuously from his body.
"Save me, save me," Qiu Haitao cried out to Long Xiaoshan, who stood outside the formation.
"They are the children killed by the underworld gang that you controlled. These are their resentful spirits, filled with grudge against their killer. So no one can save you but yourself," Long Xiaoshan said coldly.
"Ah, I will... ah... how... ah save me, please, tell me quickly," Qiu Haitao cried out in despair.
"Confess your sins, earnestly repent! And only by confessing all the sins of your family can you atone," Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, his eyes flickering with golden flames, like a deity spirit.
"I..." Qiu Haitao hesitated.
Once he revealed it, he knew what impact it would have on the Qiu Family.
"If you’re unwilling to confess, then continue to be torn apart by the Resentful Spirits. By the way, the attack of the Resentful Spirits is different from that of ordinary people; you will die very slowly. It might take three days, or a week, or even a month before you die. Enjoy it slowly," Long Xiaoshan said. Then, turning around, he planned to leave the place.
"Don’t, don’t go, I confess, I confess," Qiu Haitao blurted out when he heard that he would have to endure the Resentful Spirits’ torment for several days, unable to die. He completely broke down.
Long Xiaoshan pinched a spell.
The resentful spirit children climbed down from Qiu Haitao’s body and, without leaving, still surrounded him, their pale faces adorned with eerie smiles.
Qiu Haitao, shivering, began to confess his sins one by one under the watchful eyes of the gathering specters.
"I am guilty..."

"I am guilty..."
"I am guilty..."
Qiu Haitao had committed too many misdeeds. People like Hua Qing were only one of his controls; in Hechuan City, he operated many illegal things as well. As Second Master Qiu, he had even more insight into the family affairs.
The Qiu Family had been entrenched in Hechuan City for decades, using countless methods to maintain their standing to this day, and they had even wiped out several families.
Listing out those crimes would be an endless task.
Although Long Xiaoshan knew that behind these noble families, there were bound to be many bloody and dark dealings,
he had not expected the Qiu Family to have done so much.
Compared to them, Hua Qing seemed almost merciful.
When Qiu Haitao had finished confessing, over half an hour had passed. Long Xiaoshan had the video recorded, turned to Zhao Xiaoqiao, and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Xiaoqiao took a deep breath.
She had felt chilled to the bone listening to him. Although the Special Action Division also held some criminal evidence against the Qiu Family, that evidence wasn’t even a tenth of what Qiu Haitao had just confessed.
She immediately understood Long Xiaoshan’s intention for calling her over.
"You want to deal with the Qiu Family?" Zhao Xiaoqiao asked.
"Yes." By now, Long Xiaoshan no longer denied it.
He indeed intended to take action against the Qiu Family. From the moment they threatened his family, he was prepared to uproot the Qiu Family completely. But the Qiu Family was not like the hooligan Hua Qing, whose death would not have much impact. The Qiu Family had stood in Hechuan City for decades—a noble family of such stature could not be taken down by his strength alone.
Even if he could kill the entire Qiu Family, he could not easily do so because his power could not yet ignore the rules. If he killed them, he would become a fugitive, possibly even forced into exile. He did not want to end up like that; he had worked hard to establish himself in Hechuan, and he could not destroy his life over a moment of impulse.
Therefore, even if he moved against the Qiu Family, he had to do it legitimately. The Special Action Division was an excellent tool for this purpose.
The Special Action Division was a state agency with full authority to deal with such a corrupt Hidden World Family.
He had Zhao Xiaoqiao witness the process of Qiu Haitao’s confession so that she could see.
"These charges should be enough to uproot the Qiu Family," Long Xiaoshan said, shaking his phone.
Zhao Xiaoqiao gave a wry smile. "Even with so much evidence, we can’t touch the Qiu Family."
Long Xiaoshan’s expression darkened. "Why? Is the Special Action Division covering for the Qiu Family, or is there someone higher up protecting them?"
"No, although the Qiu Family knows some people, with so many crimes, even those they know wouldn’t dare protect them," Zhao Xiaoqiao said.
"Then what’s the real reason?" Long Xiaoshan frowned.
"Because behind the Qiu Family, there are powerful masters."
