Chapter 219: Chapter 216: Qin Zhao, You Are My Pig in the Palm

"I don’t feel unwell, probably because I was walking at the back. The ones who are most seriously ill now are the team members who were at the front."

"Could it be that there’s some kind of bacteria in the air of the tomb that caused you all to get these boils?"

"At first, I thought so too, but there’s evil energy on their bodies!"

Shangguan Jing lowered his voice; the mysticism of such stuff was known only to those within their circle.

"I’ll take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao pushed open the door of the adjacent ward.

The person in the ward was lying on the bed with thick gauze taped to his back.

He had many boils on his back, and the doctors had just operated on him.

As soon as Qin Zhao entered, he saw the evil energy on the body of the person. Afterward, he checked the others and indeed they all had evil energy as well—it seemed that this matter wasn’t simply caused by bacteria.

"I can expel the evil energy from their bodies."

Qin Zhao began to rid the patient of evil energy, then went to see the other patients.

After dispelling the evil energy, the patients’ complexions visibly improved.

"Professor Shangguan, we’ve caught a tomb robber!"

Just as Shangguan Jing was about to thank Qin Zhao, a police officer arrived at the hospital.

When the tomb of the high monk had been breached, the archaeological team had immediately called the police.

The police had staked out nearby the tomb for several days and, after the archaeological team withdrew, they spotted someone sneaking out of the tomb from another direction.

This person was clearly not a member of the archaeological team, so the police took him back to the police station.

"Caught him? Does he have boils on his body?"

"No," said the police, "that guy had a few stolen cultural relics on him. After questioning him, we found out that this wasn’t his first time in the tomb!"

"It’s really strange. He managed to bring out the burial artifacts, which means he went to quite deep inside. We encountered trouble just after entering, so how come he was unharmed?"

"We could ask him. Do you want to go to the police station?"

"Sure, I’ll go and ask."

Shangguan Jing looked to Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu to see if they wanted to join.

Both of them were quite curious about the tomb robber, so they went to the police station with him.

This police station wasn’t the same one where Huo Xun worked, so Qin Zhao didn’t run into him.

The tomb robber was called Li Shubao, but everyone called him Old Li.

Shangguan Jing directly asked about the boils, and Old Li hesitated to speak.

"You best come clean! If you cooperate, your sentence could be reduced!"

The interrogating police officer glared at him, and Old Li was evidently afraid.

"I’ll tell! The first time I entered the tomb, I also got boils, and they itched so badly I thought I’d go mad—I used a lot of medicine to no avail, and at home, I’d roll on the floor in agony! Later, by accident, I knocked over the flour bin in the kitchen, and when the flour got on the boils, they miraculously vanished."

"Try talking nonsense one more time!"

The policeman scolded sharply, clearly not believing such a tale.

Shangguan Jing patted the policeman’s shoulder amicably and asked, "So the boils disappeared right after you applied flour?"

"Yeah, why would I lie to you? Those boils are a curse from an evil god, the hospital can’t cure it!"

"A curse from an evil god? What’s that about?"

Qin Zhao caught the key point in his words and quickly asked.

"That tomb is the site of a high monk’s passing into nirvana; he passed away there with the intention of using his cultivation technique to suppress the evil god beneath the tomb. I advise you not to go in."

As he spoke of the tomb, Old Li’s face turned ashen.

"You still went in, didn’t you? You even took those burial objects."

"I was bewitched, I swear I’ll never go in again. Last time we went in, we accidentally triggered a mechanism, and it seems like we released an Evil God."

At this point, Old Li’s body shuddered.

Recalling the terrifying scene, his lips were completely devoid of color.

If he hadn’t been lucky, he probably would have died inside!

Yet when Shangguan Jing heard these words, his expression changed drastically, "It looks like we’re going to have to seal off that place."

He couldn’t help but look towards Qin Zhao, "Qin, I advise you not to go there either."

The Heavenly Master Sect was responsible for capture ghosts and exorcising Evil Energy, but as it’s been in decline, the younger generation doesn’t have enough power, and some Evil Objects simply cannot be touched and should be studiously avoided.

"You want to go to the tomb? Don’t, just don’t!"

Old Li said so too.

"Then I’ll think about it."

The more they feared it, the more Qin Zhao actually wanted to see for herself.

If that so-called Evil God had indeed been released, she would have to deal with it.

What if after its release, it harmed others?

The three walked out of the police station, and Shangguan Jing said with emotion, "Hopefully, after we’ve expelled the Evil Energy from their bodies, their boils will slowly heal. If that doesn’t work, we’ll just have to try flour."

No sooner had he finished than Qin Zhao received a call from Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was personally testing the blood and had found many dubious points, so he planned to study it thoroughly tonight and would probably be home quite late.

He couldn’t help but tell Qin Zhao, "You should have dinner at a restaurant outside, don’t order takeout. The takeout gets cold by the time it arrives, and some of the food isn’t that fresh."

"I know, I’m not a child."

Qin Zhao muttered, then asked him, "You aren’t going to pull an all-nighter at the hospital, are you? When will you come back?"

"I might need to pull an all-nighter."

Chu Yan gave a vague reply then, after a while, it suddenly dawned on him.

Was Qin Zhao actually asking him when he’d be home??

He couldn’t help but chuckle, a faint trace of a smile on his lips, "Why? Do you want me to come back early?"

"If you come back early, you can make me a midnight snack."

Chu Yan sighed, it was still about food, "All you know is eating, not afraid of getting fat?"

Just as Qin Zhao was about to say she couldn’t get fat, he continued, "In the future, you can’t get lost; it hasn’t been easy fattening you up. I’ve spent so much money and effort, it wouldn’t be worth it if you got lost."

"Chu, Yan!" Qin Zhao gnashed her teeth as she uttered his name, "Are you treating me like a pig?!"

"No, no, even if you were a pig, you’d be the apple of my eye."

"You’re just raising me like a pig! Divorce!"

"..." Chu Yan fell silent for a long time, then very adeptly said, "I was wrong."

Qin Zhao replied with a "Hmph," and decisively hung up the phone.

She said goodbye to Shangguan Nephew, and then took a taxi to the mall to eat.

While eating, Chu Yan kept sending her cute emojis on WeChat.

For each one he sent, Qin Zhao would reply with a smile.

She hadn’t realized at all that both she and Chu Yan were being utterly childish.

Chu Yan thought she was really angry and decided to come home early.

After dinner, Qin Zhao took a taxi home.

When she arrived at the entrance of the residential community, she abruptly sensed something was amiss. Several malicious gazes were fixed on her, followed by a few men pretending to be passersby closing in on her.
