The crematorium's cold storage was huge. Every four to five meters, there was a row of corpses. They were either hanging there or lying on stretchers.
In this hundred-meter-long warehouse, there were at least two to three hundred corpses.
This place was a county-level crematorium. I guessed that all the corpses received in the past one or two months were here. While walking, I checked the corpses and tried to find my parents.
However, after walking for dozens of meters, I didn't find anything. However, the fluctuation of Dao energy in front of me was getting stronger. Moreover, I vaguely heard people talking.
I became more cautious. I held my breath and walked forward a dozen more steps. Soon, I saw an open space not far from me. Three or four people were standing there. The voices were coming from that place.
I looked around and saw a row of hanging corpses not far from that open space.
I hurried to go there and pulled apart some of the corpses' legs. Then, I hid my body and peeked through the gap between the legs.
There were four people standing there. One of them was Director Liu, whom I had met a few days ago. He stood on the left side of the open space. Next to him were two young men wearing the crematorium's uniform. They seemed to be Director Liu's subordinates.
On the other side of the open space stood a skinny young man. He looked about the same age as me. The fluctuation of Dao energy I had sensed earlier came from him!
As I got closer, I could clearly feel that his cultivation base was at the early stage of the Pressure Point Realm, which was around one to two apertures.
In addition to the fluctuation of Dao Qi, I could also feel a very strong Yin Qi on his body. This Yin Qi wasn't the pure Yin Qi that Tong Tong had. Instead, it had an evil feeling. It was a bit like the Elder of the Ghost Raising Sect, Liang Kaixiong, whom I had met before.
In addition to these four people, there were ten corpses neatly arranged on the ground not far from their feet. All of them were tightly wrapped in body bags.
At this moment, the fat Director Liu was smiling at the young man with the gloomy face. "Mr. Wei, the ten corpses you pointed out are all here. Do you want to take a look?"
The young man's face was expressionless as he coldly shook his head and said, "No need, I have already checked. You can send these bodies to the car outside and then you can leave."
After that, the young man casually glanced at the corpses, then pushed open a small door not far from him and left the warehouse.
Then, Director Liu directed two of his subordinates to move the ten corpses one by one to a freight truck outside.
I thought for a while and understood. The young man with the surname Wei had the evil aura of the Ghost Raising Sect. He must have practiced some evil technique that required corpses. That was why he came to the crematorium to buy it.
I had little to do with it. I stared for a moment to make sure my parents were not among the ten bodies, and then I slipped back to the back.
When the young man was here, I was worried that he would notice that I had used the Ancestral Seeking Talisman. Now that he had left the cold storage, I didn't have to worry anymore. I walked to a place where Director Liu and the others couldn't see me and took out the Ancestral Seeking Talisman that I had prepared. After receiving the Dao Qi, I patted it on my body.
Following my action, the Ancestral Seeking Talisman quickly turned into ashes. A gray aura appeared on my body and circled around me once before it flew far away and dissipated in the air.
I frowned again. The Ancestral Seeking Talisman was the same as it had been a few days ago. It had disappeared into the distance. This proved that my parents' corpses were not nearby.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't help but feel annoyed. I frowned and pondered for a while before walking in the direction of Director Liu.
Coincidentally, when I walked over, the two young men were still moving the corpses. Director Liu seemed to have nothing to do as he strolled in my direction.
I silently moved to his side and waved my hand. I used my Dao Qi to seal his nose and mouth before grabbing him and dragging him to the back of the warehouse.
Because Director Liu couldn't breathe, his body continuously struggled. However, he couldn't struggle at all in my hands. He couldn't even make a sound.
After dragging him far away from the empty space, I threw him down and retracted my Dao Qi from his nose and mouth. I said to him, "Director Liu, we meet again."
When he heard what I said, he was stunned. He raised his head and his expression instantly changed. He took two steps back and trembled as he asked, "You … What do you want?"
I coldly said, "You should know that I'm here to look for my parents' corpses.
Last time, you weren't willing to help me investigate. I wonder if Director Liu has the time this time. "
My voice was cold. Director Liu shivered and nodded. Then, he pulled a long face and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the crematorium's management is too messy. They don't keep any records. I can't find anything even if I want to."
Then, as he was afraid that I would misunderstand, he hurried to explain, "There are many opportunities for us to do something. That's why we don't keep any records. If we wait for a long time, we won't be able to find anything. Should I ask someone to help me search this cold storage room?
The corpses here are all of the better quality that have been collected in the past month. "
What he said should be true. Old Wu had told me the same thing.
I kept silent for a while then shook my head. "I've checked this place. Let me ask you, where are the ashes stored in the crematorium?
Also, tell me where the crematorium furnace is. "
Director Liu hurried to stand up and gestured to me. "The ashes are stored in a small building on the north side of the warehouse. The crematorium furnace is in a factory area on the south side of the cold storage room. There's a tall chimney there, so it's easy to find."
I nodded and waved my hand. Under the effect of my Taoist energy, I knocked him out. Then, I left through the door of the warehouse and headed to the small building where the ashes were stored.
When I arrived, I didn't go in. I stood below the building and used the Ancestral Searching Talisman again. However, I didn't find anything.
Helpless, I found the crematorium furnace on the south side and used the Ancestral Searching Talisman for the third time. The result was the same as the previous two times.
This time, I furrowed my brows. The first two times I used the Ancestral Searching Talisman, it only proved that my parents' corpses weren't in the cold storage room or the small building.
However, the third time I used the Ancestral Searching Talisman was in the crematorium furnace. Although my parents were sent here two months ago, as long as they passed through the crematorium furnace, there would be some aura left.
The Ancestral Searching Talisman was very sensitive to the aura of the ancestors. As long as there was a little aura left, the Ancestral Searching Talisman would react.
If that was the case, my parents weren't cremated.
Since they weren't cremated and their corpses weren't in the cold storage room, the answer was obvious.
Those bastards had sold my parents' corpses!
A ball of anger rose in my heart. I returned to the cold storage room.
Although I had to walk around the crematorium and the crematorium furnace, I was fast. Until now, the two people in front of the cold storage room were still unconscious. Inside the cold storage room, Director Liu, whom I had knocked out not long ago, was also unconscious.
I used my Taoist energy to isolate him. Then, I kicked him to wake him up. "Where do you sell the corpses in the crematorium? Who is that young man surnamed Wei?"
Director Liu was a coward. After seeing my tricks, he didn't dare to hide anything. "The corpses in the crematorium are usually sold for organs or for research purposes. I don't know who that young man surnamed Wei is. However, my superior has ordered me to cooperate with him and take all the corpses out of the crematorium. That young man can pick whatever he wants."
That young man would come here once a month. Each time, he would take ten corpses, no more or less.
Except for that, he didn't know anything else about that young man.
Although I was curious about that young man surnamed Wei, the most important thing now was to find my parents' corpses. However, after I asked him again, Director Liu said, "Organs are usually sold from the corpses that aren't dead yet. My parents aren't among them."
Moreover, the corpses sold for research purposes were all young corpses. Old corpses weren't worth much.
It was possible that the young man surnamed Wei had taken my parents' corpses the last time he came here!
After thinking about this, I was even angrier.
Although my parents' corpses would be humiliated if they were sold for research purposes, as long as I could get them back, it wouldn't affect me much.
However, that young man surnamed Wei had a mysterious background. If he had taken my parents' corpses, it was hard to imagine what he had experienced after that.
I angrily kicked Director Liu's lower abdomen. He screamed in pain and fainted. Not only that, under the effect of my Dao energy, the nerves in his lower limbs were completely destroyed. From now on, he could only be a cripple with his lower limbs paralyzed.
After punishing him, I returned to the empty space with a dark face. At this moment, the two young subordinates of Director Liu had just finished moving the corpses. They were looking for Director Liu. I walked over and used my Dao energy to break one of their legs. Then, I walked out of the other door and found the truck parked outside.
The truck was starting to move. It seemed it was about to leave this place. Moreover, I could sense that the man surnamed Wei was in the front compartment.
After thinking for a while, I walked forward and carefully opened the latch at the back of the truck. Before the truck started to move, I opened the door and jumped in.
If it was possible that this man surnamed Wei had taken my parents' corpses, I would go with him. I wanted to see who he was!
After entering the truck, it was just as I had expected. There were no guards inside. There were only two rows of corpses.
I wanted to find a place to sit, but when I lifted my head to take a look, I was stunned.
No matter what I had seen with my own eyes or what Director Liu had told me, this man surnamed Wei had taken ten corpses. However, there were eleven corpses in the truck!
How could there be one more?
