Chapter 2482: Living Structure

In the blood-colored coffin lay two side-by-side naked people.

One was the Mirror Guard Captain, the other was the South City Executive Officer.

Members of the "Imperial City Three Departments" were pressed together so intimately, yet the Coroner Wang only greeted one of them.

The small knife moved through the air, almost a mere wisp of cold light. It neatly sliced off a thin piece of meat, which he held in his damp, cold, slightly trembling fingers.

The pitiful Mirror Guard Captain let out a muffled groan, yet he couldn't move, and could only express all his pain in the twitching of his muscles.

Executive Officer Chen Kaixu's eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at the Boar mask.

Coroner Wang carefully and cautiously laid the thin piece of meat on his face, as if applying makeup for him: "You can speak, why don't you speak?"

"This world never lacks people without eyes, but after so many years, Jing Country still stands. Those who provoke Jing Country's majesty have never come to a good end," Chen Kaixu said hatefully. "To fall into your hands is because my skill is inferior to yours, there's nothing to say. The Central Empire will speak for me!"

"Stubborn!" Coroner Wang praised him lightly, and then sliced the nearby Mirror Guard Captain twice before continuing on his own: "Do you know people from Yi Zhen Dao? Or perhaps... are you Yi Zhen Dao? We have a cooperation to discuss, but unfortunately, since the Dao Leader of Yi Zhen Dao perished, they can no longer be contacted."

"It seems they never existed before," Chen Kaixu stared at him. "This is also your end!"

"Good, you've missed an opportunity," Coroner Wang smiled and sliced two more times. "I've decided to give you another opportunity — could you please do me a favor and introduce Xu San? Our Equality Country is very interested in him."

Involving Xu San, the Head of the South City Department, that was no simple provocation.

Chen Kaixu no longer spoke.

The nearby Mirror Guard Captain only twitched incessantly, unable to control himself in his extreme pain.

Jing Country, being such a powerful nation, naturally didn't lack loyal ministers and brave generals. Coroner Wang didn't mind and simply continued slicing the meat slowly: "Do you know what will happen next?"

His movements were elegant, as if he were using the coffin as a dinner plate, just like that conducting the pre-meal ritual: "You are no longer the owner of your body, you can't control yourself."

"You will eat these pieces of meat, piece by piece, until there is nothing left of the person next to you."

"You will completely devour your countryman. And you will forever be unable to prove your innocence and integrity. You can no longer lie proudly in front of me, consciously standing against evil."

Coroner Wang, in the calmest voice, spoke the most cruel words. The tip of his small knife was pressed against the center of the Mirror Guard Captain's brow, yet his eyes looked down, charmingly at Chen Kaixu: "Don't look at me like that. I, Wei Hai, have a kind heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to forget you from now on."

His voice grew softer, and the knife tip moved lower and lower: "Now tell me, to dip these pieces of meat, do you need a little brain marrow?"

Chen Kaixu hated so much his eyeballs almost burst! Yet he closed them spitefully.

"You are not a qualified gambler," Coroner Wang smiled gently. The knife in his hand was clearly slicing meat, yet it was also inch by inch cutting off Chen Kaixu's mental defenses: "You can't even use your colleague's fate to raise the stakes for your courage—"

Just at this moment, a hand abruptly reached into the coffin, intruding upon this almost solidified ambiguous atmosphere, and with two fingers, clamped the knife tip.

Coroner Wang turned his head to look and saw a Dog mask.

"You want to play too?" he asked.

From the beginning, he got the body, Lin Guangming got the soul. When he was done playing, it would be Lin Guangming's turn.

His younger brother today was truly a bit impatient.

"Big sister—" Lin Guangming said in a kindly advising tone: "Like this now, it's too cruel."

Coroner Wang narrowed his eyes.

He lightning-fast pulled the small knife from Lin Guangming's fingers, and lightning-fast stabbed down, plunging the knife into Chen Kaixu's ear!

In the gushing fresh blood and the instantly extinguished scream, the hearing of the two people inside the coffin was temporarily killed.

He then said: "Younger brother, ever since Gu Shiyi died, you've changed."

"Before, things like justice and light were just empty words, but now... you actually even use your hands."

He stood up, pinching the small knife with two fingers, squinting at Lin Guangming: "What, you also want to be a Righteous God?"

The group of Yama from Hell No Door had gone through a formality on Jin Wang's fishing sea battlefield. Most of the time, they were hiding under the stage as spectators.

The dramatic death of Gu Shiyi happened almost in front of their eyes.

To say that Gu Shiyi's sacrifice could cause any moral shock to this group of killers from Hell No Door... that was definitely not the case.

But on the path of cultivation, it truly opened a new world!

Gu Shiyi's death was originally Heaven protecting the Way.

This was a clearly visible path to transcendence.

Since ancient times, ghosts and gods have not been separate families. Wasn't this path to becoming a Righteous God the most obvious path for someone named Lin?

Who couldn't act chivalrously? Who couldn't eliminate violence and bring peace?

Things with benefits, who was unwilling to do them!

I was originally chivalrous to the bone with tender feelings, benevolent, knowledgeable, respectful of etiquette, a pillar of the country, an upright person, I was originally... a bright life!

If Gu Shiyi's deeds had happened in his childhood, the road of the Righteous God would have been paved early. He, Lin Guangming, would certainly have been the most chivalrous and righteous person in the world.

Pity all the wrong steps he had taken until now.

Lin Guangming knew very clearly that as long as he remained in Hell No Door for a day, this path was absolutely impossible.

Although it is said that putting down the butcher knife can lead to becoming a Buddha on the spot, with Coroner Wang as this good older brother by his side, and Hell No Door, this peace-loving organization, behind him, how could he put down the butcher knife?

"Look what you're saying, big sister!" Lin Guangming smiled brightly: "What's the harm in thinking about it again? The path to transcendence, don't you want it?"

Coroner Wang also laughed heartily: "The righteous deeds I do, will they recognize them?"

The two people looked at each other with smiles, warm and affectionate, and made no further moves.

In the end, Qin Guang Wang was a bit too crazy this time. When Jing Country gets fierce, the whole world detours, yet he wanted to lead Hell No Door to provoke the tiger's whiskers at this time, which had a kind of madness that would drag the whole world down with them.

This made the two loyal ones also entertain the idea of jumping ship. But they restrained each other, both afraid the other would betray them to the leader for favor, and also thinking of grabbing a handful and seeing more.

Their true gazes flowed over each other's vital points.

Finally, Lin Guangming said: "This person's will has already collapsed, he can bear the power of the curse—big sister, don't indulge in pleasure and delay the leader's matters. Quickly put this person on the altar and put the blood of the Tian family person on the knife tip of the remaining person."

Qin Guang Wang leading Hell No Door to cause chaos on the sea, stirring up floods, of course wouldn't let off Dominating Horn Island and let Tian Anping cultivate comfortably.

The two of them attacked Dominating Horn Island, and the Tian clan's collections were very rich. It was a perfect setup.

Qi Country being dissatisfied with Jing Country's unrestrained behavior on the sea, beheading Rain Commander Tian Anping and sending people to teach Jing Country a lesson. Or Tian Anping intentionally causing conflict between the two countries for his own private gain—these were all very reasonable political directions.

"Blood on the knife tip is too insincere, hey, I have a better way." Coroner Wang lost interest in wasting time, and in one go, stuffed the sliced pieces of meat into Chen Kaixu's mouth, firmly blocking him and sealing his resentment with this. Then he directly lifted this person out of the blood coffin and threw him into Lin Guangming's hands: "You build the altar. I'll handle this person."

Lin Guangming pressed Chen Kaixu to the ground with one hand and slightly exerted force. Lava actually seeped out, flowing over Chen Kaixu, intertwining crisscross, and instantly solidifying into a stone platform.

The ancient, simple, and solemn altar was thus formed, with Jing Country's Ji Si Executive Officer built into it alive!

He wouldn't die for a long time, and many of Jing Country's detection forces, including the mirror light of the Qian Tian Mirror, would pass by here and miss him because he was an "ally."

Lin Guangming silently analyzed the effects of this altar, his eyes always looking at the blood coffin. He observed Coroner Wang's actions and constantly added to his understanding of Coroner Wang's strength.

He still thoughtfully reminded: "This Mirror World Platform seems to have something to say."

"I like to hear people from Mirror World Platform speak the least."

Coroner Wang ignored the person in the coffin's twitching, peeled twice with the knife, and took out a round, mirror-shaped mirror card from his body. He looked at it briefly, then threw it aside.

This mirror card was engraved with "Thirteenth Team" on the back, indicating the holder's affiliation. The light on the front flashed, immediately showing "Jiang Nanpeng."

Because Yi Zhen Dao was deeply rooted within the Central Empire, almost everywhere.

Even the Son of Heaven of Jing couldn't openly and directly excise the sore, only using the name of exterminating Equality Country to launch this surprise war against Yi Zhen Dao.

To prevent leaks and make it difficult for Yi Zhen Dao to connect systematically, all sides took joint actions, with eyes watching eyes. Even the Imperial City Three Departments were intertwined, not allowing any department to act alone.

For example, this time Jin Wang Ji Xuanzhen led the sea battlefield. Besides sufficient top martial forces, Jing Country also cast a giant net to capture enemy traces.

Chen Kaixu as Executive Officer led a team, Jiang Nanpeng as the Captain of the Thirteenth Team of Mirror World Platform led a team, plus a team of jailers from the Central Heavenly Prison. This was Jing Country's complete team for this operation at sea. Thus, to the maximum extent suppressing Yi Zhen Dao's counterattack, it was totally impossible for all three teams to be Yi Zhen Dao members?

Coroner Wang and City King targeted such a joint team, cleanly and neatly dealt with the other people, and only left Chen Kaixu and Jiang Nanpeng to carry out the next step.

Coroner Wang was clear about his loves and hates. Initially, when he was captured and sent to the Central Heavenly Prison, Mirror World Platform put in a lot of effort.

So he didn't give Jiang Nanpeng a chance to speak, only talked about cooperation with Chen Kaixu. As for those jailers from the Central Heavenly Prison, they had already been made into collections, without even a chance to survive.

At this moment, he slightly noted the name, then probed his fingers into Jiang Nanpeng's neck, pulled out his blood vessels, like catching a vine snake, pressed it directly, and stabbed it into the bottom of the coffin! In this instant, it seemed to connect with a certain space. That blood vessel twisted madly, constantly swelling and contracting, as if breathing. Its overall color also changed from purple to green.

Jiang Nanpeng's face was full of bulging blue veins, his eyes suddenly glared round! And instantly lost all strength, his eyes slowly closed.

"What did you do?" Lin Guangming asked.

"Put several shares of Tian clan people's blood into his body," Coroner Wang smiled. "When these bloods melt, the connection will be more profound, cause and effect will intertwine life, body and blood will be one. Even Tian Anping won't be able to distinguish if it was his own Tian family members who did it."

Just like that, he described it lightly, casually closed the coffin, and threw the person and coffin onto the altar: "Trouble adding another layer."

Lin Guangming did as usual, building this coffin into the altar.

"You say the leader wants us to build this altar... what for?" he asked casually.

The specifications and patterns of this altar were all strictly built according to the leader's requirements. He could only guess privately, but he couldn't confirm.

"I don't know, and I suggest you don't try to know," Coroner Wang smiled not-so-smilingly.

"The leader says to leave here immediately after building the altar well, and not to disturb it further," Lin Guangming said.

"Since the leader has given the command, how can we not follow?" Coroner Wang twisted his waist and walked out first: "Then let's withdraw, don't look back."

He pushed open the door.

The door opened and closed countless times.

Lou Jiangyue never raised her head to look.

She knew she wouldn't see the person she wanted to see.

Although her consciousness was already blurred, and her soul was on the verge of collapse. The desire to seek life, the instinct of people in darkness longing for sunlight, made her have involuntary expectations.

But that kind of coldness seeping from the depths of her soul still reminded her— no need.

No need to have expectations, no need to linger more.

"Lou Pivot Envoy, your daughter is right inside."

"Thank you, Great Department Head. You still need to personally go to the Censorate once..."

"This is originally something the Ji Si Department should handle. Letting a father see his daughter is also a warmth beyond the law."

"Great Department Head is both emotional and reasonable, I, Lou, am deeply grateful."

"One word I possibly shouldn't remind you— I know she is very painful, but no matter what, you cannot end her pain here."

"Great Department Head, rest assured, I, Lou, will not do anything to make things difficult for you."

The dialogue thus ended.

Then there were footsteps.

Lou Yue's footsteps were always hurried and very determined. They had endless roads to walk, and his heart wouldn't stop until he reached his goal.

Lou Jiangyue had to open her eyes, because that tall figure had already walked to the front.

In the fragments of her consciousness, like burning fire, it cast a cool shade. It made her nearly scattered consciousness have a brief line of clarity.

In this brief clarity, she closed her eyes again.

This was her sober decision, her silent response.

But the handcuffs on her hands were just like that, unlocked.

Just like her will could never change anything, her life was fundamentally not decided by herself!

She slid down from the torture rack, like bones being drawn out, instantly collapsing on the ground.

But she writhed on the ground like a snake, struggling, twisting.

She reached out her claws and retracted them.

Kill...

Kill...

The killing intent in the depths of her heart constantly impacted her brain. She madly wanted to kill all living things. Including the person in front— her father.

The tall father stood there silently, the slender daughter lay curled up on the ground.

They both stubbornly didn't make a sound.

The world's most cruel intimate war is to test who is more cold-blooded, who is more uncaring.

Parents will never be the victors.

Lou Yue reached his hand into the chaos, pulled out a still struggling death prisoner, and threw him beside her.

Like placing a cup of sweet spring in front of someone about to die of thirst.

But Lou Jiangyue didn't drink.

She curled up her body, not letting herself move, desperately biting her teeth, biting until her lips were black!

Biting until her eyes were white, and her body also began to stiffen.

Her breathing was rapid, and gradually disappeared.

And those blank eyes instantly turned a crazed red!

At this moment, she finally lost control, suddenly flipped up, pounced on that death prisoner who was full of fear, choked his neck with both hands, with such force that her ten fingers embedded into his flesh, just like that, choking the prisoner to death alive!

The death prisoner stiffened there.

The blood color in her pupils then gradually faded.

She instantly regained sobriety.

She silently loosened her hands and sat alone beside the corpse.

There was no expression on her pale face, and fresh blood dripped from her pale ten fingers.

In the prison of the Censorate, she had endured those days bitterly, never compromising once. On the verge of her will collapsing, she did not allow herself to act.

But such a person with such terrifying self-control could only fall into complete loss of control time and time again.

What kind of cruelty was this?

Lou Yue opened his mouth, originally wanting to say something.

For example, you want to harm your sister, your father, harm the entire Lou clan.

For example, what is the meaning of what you are doing.

But he just silently endured for a long time, and finally he only asked: "Why don't you want to live anymore?"
