Chapter 452 - 450: Pang Qiuyang

Everyone looked inside the coffin, and sure enough, there lay a small and short corpse.

It was Sima Xuan!

Lying in the coffin, Sima Xuan’s face was ashen and his expression was fierce.

In his wide-open eyes, there was still a lingering fear and reluctance from before his death...

"Been dead a long time!"

Tie Xiong reached out to touch Sima Xuan’s body, finding it ice-cold.

"First it was Nurse Chief Lin, then Sun Zhen, and now it’s Sima Xuan."

"And just now, Zhao and Li almost lost their lives too."

"It seems Dean Zhang and the others are likely doomed!"

Captain Fu frowned and said in a deep voice.

Group Leader Xu nodded silently.

If Tie Xiong hadn’t been present, Zhao and Li Xun might have lost their lives too.

As for the others, it’s more like ten deaths and one survival than being doomed!

"Dad, should we open the other sealed coffins?"

"To see if there are people inside too?"

Tie Shanshan suggested at this time.

"Sure!"

Tie Xiong thought for a moment, then agreed.

He also wanted to see what was inside those coffins with their lids closed.

Many of the coffins on the fifth floor were empty and had no lids.

But at the same time, some had their lids closed.

Tie Xiong and the others moved this portion of the coffins together.

Besides the coffins of Sima Xuan and Li Xun, there were thirteen coffins with their lids on.

Next, Tie Xiong pushed the lids off these coffins one by one.

As they expected, every coffin with its lid closed had a person inside.

"Xiaowen? Xiao?"

Captain Fu quickly recognized two very familiar faces.

These two were the other young policemen who stayed with Zhao in the first-floor lobby.

"Wei Ying?"

Li Xun also saw a familiar face.

It was the tall female master, Wei Ying.

The bodies of these three still retained some warmth.

As for the remaining ten people, they were truly corpses.

Moreover, no one recognized the faces of these ten people; they had never been seen before.

"I think I’ve seen these people..."

"But you’ll have to give me a moment to remember!"

At that moment, Group Leader Xu suddenly spoke up.

He then furrowed his brows, falling into a reflective state.

The others, seeing this, chose not to disturb him.

"Group Leader Tie, can you try to bring Xiaowen and Xiao back too?"

Captain Fu looked at the two young policemen with closed eyes, his expression complicated.

No matter how he called out to them, they didn’t respond at all.

He immediately recalled the scene where Tie Xiong had saved Zhao, and thus turned to Tie Xiong once more.

"No problem!"

Tie Xiong nodded straightforwardly.

He took out the Evil Ghost statue and began chanting that familiar spell.

Red light shot out again, but this time, after entering Xiaowen and Xiao’s noses and mouths, it quickly returned.

"Huh?"

This strange situation was something Tie Xiong had never encountered before.

Previously, when he used this curse technique to save people, the Original Blood Qi would continuously enter the target’s body, repairing all internal damage.

But at this moment, the Original Blood Qi did not work upon entering Xiaowen and Xiao’s bodies.

"What... what is happening, Group Leader Tie?"

Captain Fu noticed something was wrong.

After all, he had witnessed the entire process when Tie Xiong saved Zhao.

"I need to examine these two people’s bodies!"

Tie Xiong went up to Xiaowen and Xiao’s coffins, carefully assessing their condition.

Then he went to Wei Ying’s coffin and checked her condition as well.

After examining the three bodies, Tie Xiong frowned and said, "Their physical bodies have not suffered any injuries, and their blood and Qi are full."

"Then why can’t they be awakened?"

Captain Fu asked in confusion.

"Perhaps... their souls are not in their bodies!"

Tie Xiong speculated.

"Then what should we do?"

Captain Fu was taken aback.

"We must retrieve their souls, or in time they will truly perish."

Tie Xiong replied solemnly.

"I remember now!"

At this time, Group Leader Xu shouted excitedly.

He pointed to the ten corpses and said, "If I am not mistaken, these ten people were patients involved in the Hemei Hospital’s ’cancer treatment project’!"

"However, unlike those patients who successfully recovered and were discharged, these ten remained at Hemei Hospital permanently for various reasons."

After hearing his words, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

"So the mastermind must be linked to Hemei Hospital!"

"Otherwise, how could they know about these ten deceased patients?"

Captain Fu continued.

"So far, eleven patients have died in the ’cancer treatment project.’"

"Besides these ten deceased before us, there’s also Song Feifei!"

"But we saw Song Feifei earlier; she doesn’t seem to be the mastermind..."

Group Leader Xu said, frowning.

"If the mastermind isn’t these eleven deceased patients, then who could it be?"

Li Xun felt his mind was at a loss.

"Let’s go upstairs!"

"Check out the sixth floor!"

Tie Xiong interrupted their conversation.

His thinking was simple: instead of speculating here and getting a headache, why not move forward and find the mastermind.

By then, wouldn’t everything be clear?

"Alright then!"

Group Leader Xu and Captain Fu nodded gently, temporarily setting aside their speculations.

The group continued up the stairs and soon reached the sixth floor.

Unlike the frightening fourth and fifth floors, the sixth floor was much quieter, and there were fewer strange things.

"This floor seems quite normal!"

Tie Shanshan said with a smile, looking around.

Just as she finished speaking, a sudden "bang" made a room opposite them burst open.

"Never mind, I’ll take back what I just said!"

Tie Shanshan shook her head repeatedly.

"Help... help..."

"Come save me quickly!"

Inside the room, cries for help were heard.

This voice sounded familiar to everyone.

"It sounds like that Master Pang Qiuyang’s voice?"

Li Xun listened carefully for a while, his expression turning serious.

"Let’s go in and see!"

Tie Xiong, as always, took the lead and strode towards the opposite room.

The others didn’t hesitate too long and followed him.

Upon entering the room, they found nothing in it except for a large bed.

Lying on the bed was a chubby, obese man.

Who else could it be but Pang Qiuyang?
