Chapter 213: Chapter 212: Flesh Tumor

A strange shadow appeared on the stairs.

The lower half seemed to have human legs wearing mountain climbing gear, although slightly twisted.

The upper half, however, was grotesquely bloated. At first glance, it looked as if it were a person carrying a huge gift on their back.

Li Changhe’s eyes shifted slightly, activating his [Hawkeye Demon Eyes], but he still couldn’t clearly see the other party’s appearance. He could barely see that it was carrying a huge tumor on its back, which seemed to contain... a human body?

"My magic eyes can’t see clearly?" After all, they only increased the visible distance. [Hawkeye Demon Eyes] didn’t have the effect of breaking through the obstacles created by the Mysterious System and couldn’t see the details of ghosts and goblins.

Li Changhe noticed something wriggling within the tumor and wondered if it was part of the creature or a previous victim: "I thought it’d at least have a human form."

"Do you think all Mysterious Species look like me - a beautiful young girl?" Yun Ting laughed.

"Brother Ting... face the facts. You’re almost forty, I just offered you incense a few days ago."

"Tsk!" Yun Ting appeared behind Li Changhe, her long hair flowing.

"Its powers are strange, but communication is very difficult. Only can get very fragmented replies."

"Mountain climbing, it hurts, save me."

Li Changhe frowned and asked Yun Ting: "Did Brother Ting say anything else?"

"So heavy... Can’t bear it anymore, so heavy." Yun Ting paused, "That’s all he said. He just keeps repeating it."

Meanwhile, Li Changhe also felt the fluctuations in the weight on his body.

It didn’t seem to have any malice, but rather appeared to be impatient in trying to convey something. For now, let’s just call it the Mountain Climbing Ghost.

The Mountain Climbing Ghost’s tumor wobbled, and the human bodies trapped inside extended their torsos.

In the dim stairwell, there was a monster carrying a giant tumor, and attached to it were the mangled remains of four human bodies.

It was terrifying and bloody.

If it were any other situation, Li Changhe would have simply used [Hundred-Headed Shooter].

Now, Li Changhe could see these people’s faces, and if they could talk, communication would be much easier. Unfortunately, their bodies were severely damaged.

They were men and women wearing mountain climbing gear, their eyes pitch black. Their lower jaws had turned into skeletons, and their arms were only half intact.

However, from the way they swung their bodies, it was clear they were eager to convey something.

Frightening... If Li Changhe hadn’t experienced so many disgusting things before, this sight would have made him throw up.

Too bad, even Yun Ting couldn’t figure out what they wanted to express.

If both parties knew sign language, or if the Mountain Climbing Ghost’s lip movements could be seen, it would have been different. At the very least, the Mountain Climbing Ghost could have written words.

Now, were they supposed to find clues from these fragmented phrases?

Li Changhe thought of a simple method: "Just nod your heads if I’ve guessed it correctly."

"First, you are all victims of a mountain climbing accident?"

The torsos all nodded in unison.

The method seemed to work.

"Were you all murdered by someone?"

They nodded again.

"Were you all mountain climbing partners or friends?" This question was important; if any of them had been killed by the Mountain Climbing Ghost.

In that case, Li Changhe would have to temporarily abandon this dangerous and hard-to-deal-with creature and notify the [Great Wall] to take over.

The broken bodies nodded again in unison.

It seemed they were just murdered without mercy, and that was the only reason they were here.

For such criminal cases, notifying the [Great Wall] would be enough.

"So heavy... At the beginning of the crisis, did this... guy save you all by carrying your weight?" Li Changhe had no tact in his storytelling, so he tried to sketch the scene using simple words.

Based on the Mountain Climbing Ghost’s current appearance, it was unlikely that it had encountered danger while climbing and tried to carry its friends out of the situation only to die with them still on its back. The chances were slim.

Or perhaps, it happened during the climb?

Every mountain climber was connected by ropes. Did somebody fall? But the chances of four people falling at once and all the protective gear failing were slim, right?

"Do you want me to help you find the murderer?" asked Li Changhe.

The mutilated bodies nodded fiercely.

"Honestly, it’s very unlikely. I can’t find someone who’s hiding." Li Changhe frowned.

Who would have thought, the moment Li Changhe stopped speaking, the corpses in the tumor shook their heads and started biting each other?

Li Changhe’s face changed slightly, and his hands flickered with spatial fluctuations. A strange-looking Mo Blade appeared.

The blade was 1.7 meters long with a one-meter blade length and ten centimeters wide.

It was called a Mo Blade, but both the blade and back were covered with bone material. Glowing blue flames emanated from the gaps in the bones.

Especially on the upper half of the back, three jet-like mechanical devices were assembled.

It was a bizarre fusion of fantasy and technology.

This was the product of Li Changhe combining [Tang Composing Broadsword], [Frost Bone], and [Dragon Heat Jet Mechanism].

[Dragon Heat Jetting Mo Blade]

[Note: You have now entered the era of... hot and cold weaponry with your jet Mo Blade.]

Li Changhe took out the jet Mo Blade, cautiously took a step back, and [Boss Lead] floated by his side. Seeing the strange behavior of the Mountain Climbing Ghost, he couldn’t help but be cautious.

The mutilated bodies were still tearing at the one in the middle.

The one being bitten didn’t fight back.

It was unclear what their intentions were. In the end, when the torn climbing gear revealed something, one of the bodies bit it and threw it out.

It was... a camera.
