After hearing Old Wu's words, I couldn't help but be shocked.
Director Liu's attitude of accepting money and messing around had already infuriated me. I never would've thought that compared to the truth behind the scenes, what I encountered was nothing.
After receiving money, not only would they not give you the corpses of your relatives, they would even sell the corpses away. They would either remove the organs or sell them to a medical school for students to dissect!
If the relatives of these corpses knew what had happened, they would probably want to burn down the crematorium.
I was in this state right now. It was like my heart was on fire, and I only had one thought in my mind. Did they sell my parents' corpses and ruin them?
My eyes turned red as I thought about it. I couldn't wait any longer.
I forced myself to calm down. After thinking about it, I said to Old Wu, "Uncle Wu, do you have a way to bring me inside?"
Old Wu was stunned at first, then he asked me, "Why do you want to go inside?"
Then, he seemed to have understood something. He stared at me and asked, "Kid, did you just get a family member sent here?"
I didn't say anything, but I couldn't hide my expression at all. Old Wu jumped up from his chair as if he was stung by a scorpion. He waved his hands at me and said, "No, no, no, no matter what you say, it won't work.
Kid, why don't you think about it. There are so many benefits here, is it something a normal person can get involved with?
The people here all have eyes and ears. If you barge in carelessly, I can guarantee that you won't even know how you died! "
After saying that, he even took a few steps back as if he wanted to show that he wouldn't help.
However, after taking a few steps, he couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and advised me, "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. The weak can't beat the strong. Just pretend that you don't know about this. No matter what, the living are more important than the dead!"
I stood there and didn't say anything, but my face was extremely gloomy.
Old Wu clearly knew the severity of the situation, that's why he had such a big reaction.
If it was before I lost my powers, no matter how scary his words were, I wouldn't care. But now, it seems that entering the crematorium isn't as easy as I thought.
However, I didn't want to wait any longer. It had been two months since my parents' corpses were sent here. If something really happened, I wouldn't have the time to hesitate.
With that in mind, I decided not to think too much about it. Since sneaking in wasn't going to work, I might as well take this path. I wanted to barge in openly!
It was true that my body hadn't recovered, but I still had Tong Tong. She was a Yin Soul with the power of a Ghost King. If she wanted to charge into the crematorium, how many people could stop her?
Although this might cause some trouble in the future, I didn't mind it. It was nothing more than someone investigating me and then investigating the Metaphysics Association. If Old President Li insisted on protecting me, what could he do in the end?
After thinking for a while, I called Tong Tong in my mind. Then, I walked toward the gate of the crematorium.
After walking a few steps, I realized that something was wrong. Tong Tong didn't come out of the jade bracelet and I didn't even get a response from her in my heart!
What's going on?
I stopped and called her a few more times, but there was still no response.
Did something happen to Tong Tong?
This time, I was completely bewildered. I stood there, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the security guard, Old Wu, chased after me. He pulled my arm and tried to persuade me. "Young man, don't be impulsive. Think about it. Do you think it was easy for your parents to raise you?
Are they willing to see you destroy yourself because of this? "
After a long time, I gave him a wry smile and nodded. "Uncle Wu, you don't need to persuade me. I understand everything. This crematorium … I won't go in today."
Old Wu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. "That's right."
Then, he pulled me to talk for a long time. However, I wasn't in the mood to listen. My mind was filled with thoughts of Tong Tong and my parents' corpses.
When I returned to the hotel at night, my heart was filled with despair.
My parents were dead, and I had lost all of my Dao energy. Even so, I eventually got out of my depression and tried to pull myself together.
But now, my parents' corpses might have been defiled, and I had lost contact with Tong Tong. I was really bewildered.
Tong Tong was inside the jade bracelet, and I couldn't get in.
Of course, even if I could, I didn't have the ability to save Tong Tong.
As for my parents' corpses, I couldn't do anything about them. If I couldn't even get into an ordinary crematorium, what use would I have?
I lay on the bed in a daze for the whole night. When the next morning came, my eyes were still staring at the ceiling. It was as though I had returned to my previous numb and silent state.
However, when the sky brightened, I instantly got out of that state and sat up with a face full of surprise.
It wasn't because I had figured it out, but because I saw Tong Tong!
This time, she didn't talk to me. Instead, she walked out of the jade bracelet and stood next to my bed.
I asked Tong Tong what had happened last night with a face full of surprise. However, before I could ask, I saw that Tong Tong's body was covered in small wounds.
How did she get hurt?
Could it be that something really happened last night?
I furrowed my eyebrows, but Tong Tong's lips curled up as she smiled happily. She skipped in front of me. With one hand behind her back, she extended her other hand and pressed it against my eyes. With a slightly weak voice, she said to me, "Big brother, close your eyes. I want to give you a present."
I didn't understand what she was doing, but Tong Tong had always been a considerate person. No matter what she did, she definitely wouldn't harm me. Thus, I happily closed my eyes and waited for Tong Tong's present to be revealed.
Very quickly, I felt an ice-cold sensation on my palm. When I couldn't help but open my eyes, I instantly exclaimed!
At this moment, there was a drop of milky white liquid in my palm. It was the drop that I had seen on the True Dragon Vein. It was the True Dragon Saliva that Grandpa Li had said could instantly restore my meridians!
I raised my head and asked Tong Tong excitedly, "Didn't you say that this True Dragon Saliva would harm you greatly?
Why did you take it out?
You didn't come out last night because you were taking this drop of True Dragon Saliva, right? "
After asking, I realized that although Tong Tong was smiling at me, her entire body seemed to be shivering. Her body seemed to be a little illusory.
It should be known that Tong Tong's power was close to that of a Ghost King. Her body had solidified a long time ago. How could it be like this?
I immediately knew the answer to my previous question. It must be because I had told her about the True Dragon Saliva. Tong Tong didn't say anything, but she remembered it.
No wonder I had felt a little weak when she had helped me simulate the Ancestral Seeking Talisman a few days ago. Now that I thought about it, she must have tried to take the True Dragon Saliva back then.
What a silly girl … I looked at Tong Tong, and my heart ached for her. I pulled her into my embrace and asked her, "Did it hurt when you took the True Dragon Saliva?"
Tong Tong still had a smile on her face. She tilted her head and pondered for a while. Then, she said, "It hurt a little, but when I thought that Brother needed it, Tong Tong didn't feel any pain anymore."
It was obviously a pretentious and emotional story, but Tong Tong said it so naturally. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
I wanted to talk to her a little longer, but after hugging her, I could feel her shivering body. I knew her condition wasn't good. I hurried to ask her to return to the jade bracelet to swallow the souls to recover her body.
After Tong Tong returned to the jade bracelet, my eyes moved to the milky white liquid.
Anyone who had studied physics in middle school would know that gravity had an effect on all objects. However, this tiny drop of liquid didn't seem to be affected by gravity. It slowly floated above my palm, giving me a warm and cool feeling. It was really strange.
Grandpa Li had told me that as long as I took this drop of True Dragon Saliva, my body would recover completely!
