"Corpse...corpse..."

Fatty felt the unease in his heart was about to be confirmed.

Number Two frowned and waved to interrupt Number Thirteen, "Don't be nervous, it's just the bodies of the others. We didn't find Number One's body, they are the bodies of the Frozen Disciples. Only some, not all of them. Old Man Luo has sent more people to expand the search area around where the bodies were found. I believe we'll have an answer soon."

But Fatty's attention was clearly elsewhere. He continued to ask, "What do you mean the bodies are strange?"

Having experienced many missions, Fatty had seen all sorts of strange corpses, but when Number Thirteen used the word "strange," the confusion on his face couldn't be concealed, making Fatty think too much.

Perhaps finding it too troublesome to answer one question at a time, or because a verbal description wasn't specific enough, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and tapped the screen a few times, then held it up for Fatty to see.

The screen showed a valley. The background was dark, but overall it was clear. Fatty didn't remember them ever being there.

In the open space in the middle of the screen, several corpses were scattered. At first glance, Fatty felt something was wrong. As Jiang Cheng zoomed in, Fatty's pupils trembled, and his entire expression changed. His mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

"How...how could they become like this?"

The figure in the middle of the screen was lying on its back. No, judging from the picture, it was hard to describe this guy as a "person." It should be said that it used to be a person!

The facial features of the guy in the picture were displaced. The mouth was in the middle of the face, the nose had moved to the forehead, and the ears drooped at the chin, like two disgusting tumors.

The limbs were even more strangely distributed. One leg grew from the chest, and the other replaced an arm, growing from the shoulder. One arm grew diagonally from the back, like a wing, and the other was even more outrageous, growing directly from the thigh on the chest. The arrangement of the body was completely broken, overturning Fatty's understanding.

But what was even more terrifying was yet to come. Number Two lowered his voice and said in a strange tone, "This guy was still alive when we found it."

"Turned into this and still alive?" Fatty stared at the picture, his heart churning. He couldn't imagine what this former "person" had gone through.

"What about the eyes? Why can't I find its eyes?" Fatty suddenly asked.

Jiang Cheng took a breath and said calmly, "According to the message they sent back, one eyeball is in the palm of its hand, and the other is on its back. The picture is a bit disgusting, I have it here, do you want to see it?"

Fatty imagined the scene and decided against it.

"Besides this corpse, are the others also..." Fatty tentatively asked. After receiving a confirming answer, Fatty felt terrible. His empty stomach spasmed.

Seeing this, Number Thirteen explained, "We only found a small portion of the bodies, and after various physical examinations, we have confirmed the identities of these people. They were all disciples used to carry out the teleportation plan. We haven't found any trace of Number One yet."

"So far, there are a total of nine bodies, scattered over an area of about 500 square meters. The location is relatively remote and doesn't overlap with our previous routes into the mountains."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the nausea in his stomach, Fatty pressed, "How...how did they become like this?"

In Fatty's memory, disciples would indeed become disfigured after being heavily eroded, but he hadn't expected them to become like this, let alone so many people changing together. This clearly didn't make sense.

This time, Number Two and Number Thirteen were silent. After a long while, Number Two finally spoke, "Number One did this. His ability is to control the power of space. I think...I think Number One must have sensed something at the time. Because he was worried that these disciples would fall into the hands of the enemy, he forcibly opened a space-time channel and sent these disciples in. Judging from the appearance of these disciples, they must have encountered turbulence in the space-time channel, which led to them becoming such a ghastly appearance."

"What about Number One? Is he in danger?" This was what Fatty really cared about.

Number Two stopped talking, and Number Thirteen's eyes suddenly turned red. Finally, under Fatty's questioning, Number Thirteen said with a sob, "Number Ten, please don't ask anymore. Number One definitely entered the space tunnel after opening it. He must have wanted to take these disciples with him. Now that these disciples have become such ghastly figures, Number One, he..."

"Don't be too pessimistic. We haven't found Number One's body yet, so everything is still unknown. I know Number One's strength, he won't die so easily." Number Two's tone was firm.

Number Thirteen didn't speak. The teacher, Number Three, and now Number One, family members were having accidents one after another, either injured or missing. He really didn't know what to do, or what he could do.

The scene fell silent for a moment. The series of events had exhausted everyone, especially Jiang Cheng, who had struggled to survive in that nightmare. Now that he was back in reality, he had to face such a tricky situation. What made him most vigilant was that strange Paradise Building.

According to Lin Wan'er's speculation, that building was related to the current president of the Night Watchers, which sounded like someone not to be trifled with.

Rubbing his temples to slightly dispel the irritability in his heart, Jiang Cheng remembered Hengtong Inn. It was a momentary thought, but it immediately made him vigilant, because Yao Shunyu and Li Bai were still there, and it had been so long since they had heard any news.

Jiang Cheng took out his phone and called Li Bai. Fortunately, the call was quickly connected, and the familiar voice, with a hint of vigilance, came from the other end, "Mr. Jiang?"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Cheng's heart finally settled down a bit. After asking about her and Yao Shunyu's situation, Jiang Cheng planned to bring them over so that everyone could be together and take care of each other.

After the cooperation in the last mission, Jiang Cheng knew that Yao Shunyu and Li Bai were not ordinary people either, and the main thing was that they could be trusted.

Actually, Jiang Cheng didn't feel at ease here either, but it was better than Hengtong Inn.

Because his personal freedom was restricted, Jiang Cheng told Old Man Luo his thoughts. The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, repeatedly confirming whether the other party was trustworthy. After receiving an affirmative answer, Old Man Luo agreed, saying that he would arrange for someone to pick up Yao Shunyu and Li Bai, and that Jiang Cheng and the others should not leave.

"Wait for me, I'll be right over. I have something to tell you." Luo Yunshan's tone was a little strange.

"Is there a new discovery in the mountains?" Jiang Cheng asked vigilantly.

"No, it's about the Night Watchers."
