Chapter 339: Chapter 60_4

"Okay, Brother Runsheng, but don’t swim too far. We’ll keep shouting to each other, and if you feel like you can’t hear us anymore, you must turn back. Otherwise, we might lose each other here."

Run Sheng had matches and fire strikers on him, but after the earlier freezing and waterlogging now, surely they wouldn’t work.

Xue Liangliang remarked, "Next time we go out, I must carry a waterproof flashlight."

"Brother Liang, even if you brought one, it wouldn’t help. Our luggage is still on the truck."

"Oh, right."

Just as Run Sheng was about to start swimming, Tan Wenbin, who had previously swallowed several mouthfuls of water, suddenly cried out, "Something’s touching my foot down there!"

At these words, everyone was startled.

Run Sheng didn’t swim out but instead dived downward.

Tan Wenbin continued shouting, "It’s a hand, I kicked a hand, more than one pair."

Xue Liangliang added, "Yes, my foot touched something too, it felt like I just stepped on someone’s head."

Li Zhiyuan was shorter, so he wasn’t as submerged as the others, but at that moment, he also felt something. Not just felt, but when he reached out, in the pitch-black darkness ahead, he touched something bloated and greasy.

This thing had a nose and eyes.

Li Zhiyuan immediately withdrew his hand—it was a human face, just a few centimeters in front of him.

Xue Liangliang: "Binbin, is that your arm?"

Tan Wenbin: "I’m holding onto you."

Xue Liangliang: "You’re not holding me right now."

Tan Wenbin: "..."

Run Sheng surfaced, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Yuan, there are bodies floating up below."

"Blub blub..."

"Blub blub..."

Nearby, the sound of bubbles kept coming.

Run Sheng said, "This is corpse energy being released as the bodies swell and surface, it’s venting."

Li Zhiyuan raised his head, looking up at the completely obscured ceiling, "We should be in a subterranean crack beneath the ancestral hall. These bodies are the victims we saw in the hall earlier before we got out."

The things seen in the space crevice differed from reality but could still interact.

The villagers, no matter how reckless, wouldn’t be so foolish as to neatly lay out the bodies of those they killed in the ancestral hall. So the fact that the bodies were previously positioned in the center of the hall suggests their location corresponds along this vertical line.

It must be said, this was indeed a perfect place to destroy evidence. Killing someone, then dumping the body here, truly ensured that no one would know.

Tan Wenbin whispered, "They... they won’t turn into Corpses, will they?"

If all these bodies became Corpses at this moment, the four of them would certainly be done for.

Even if only two or three turned, Run Sheng could only handle one, and the rest would tear the three of them apart.

"They won’t."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, it’s okay. You don’t need to comfort me, *I can face it bravely*."

"Up above, the ancestral hall is arranged in a very advanced Feng Shui formation—peace within luck, naturally suppressing evil spirits. In theory, the bodies shouldn’t turn into Corpses.

Unless someone up there goes mad and smashes the hall, toppling even the pillars—only then could the suppression fail, and perhaps one or two corpses might become Corpses.

For them to all turn into Corpses, it would require altering the Feng Shui inside the hall. Neutral-bias beneficial layouts are hard to modify, but the extreme fortune-from-within-fortune setup can be easily changed from one extreme to another."

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiao Yuan, you only needed to say the first sentence, the others were unnecessary."

Li Zhiyuan: "Sorry, I’m used to this problem-solving approach."

*It seemed he always had this kind of mental inertia—that whenever he saw an array, his first thought was how to make it worse and more vicious.*

*Damn Wei Zhengdao!*

Of course, having such thoughts wasn’t too strange now; almost every corpse here had died a violent death, their resentments significant. The earlier overwhelming cold experienced in the spatial crevice was actually an expression of these corpses’ materialized grievances.

Moreover, although the Feng Shui array in the ancestral hall prevented them from becoming Corpses, it wasn’t specialized in suppressing evil spirits. Thus, the resentments kept accumulating, and the bodies were continuously soaked beneath this pool.

*In a way, this place was like a terrifying ’methane pit,’ requiring only a professional technician to ignite it and thoroughly explode!*

At this moment, Li Zhiyuan heard the sound of dense water movement—not from animals or fish, but a subtle sound.

He began to determine the positions based on the sound in his mind, quickly realizing that as these bodies floated to the surface, they started to move slowly.

Tan Wenbin: "Huh, where did the bodies around me go? There were several clinging to me just now, but now they’re gone."

Xue Liangliang: "I can only feel one here."

Li Zhiyuan immediately instructed, "Brother Liang, feel along the corpse beside you, front, and back, and see if you can find other bodies."

"Alright, hold on." After a series of close water sounds, Xue Liangliang responded, "Xiao Yuan, there are bodies at both ends, they seem to be lined up."

Tan Wenbin: "Lined up, for what?"

Li Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They’re building a bridge for us, guiding us to shore."

Xue Liangliang was initially startled by this but then quickly realized something was off, "Damn, thanks!"

Xue Liangliang asked, "Xiao Yuan, we should go in the direction the heads are facing, right?"

"Yes, for now, follow that direction."

"Then you all follow, moving along these bodies, don’t get separated, I’ll go first, Binbin second, and Runsheng and Xiao Yuan at the back."
