Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 555: Gu Bug

Because knowledgable, that’s why, towards the dead and living, as well as the various kinds of deaths, and time of death, what kind of state the body should be in, although not a hundred percent clear, he was still at least eighty to ninety percent clear. However, the Changping Marchioness wasn’t within the scope of his understanding. Clearly already a dead person, but after cutting open the corpse, it was just like a living person’s. Moving the knife, it was just like slicing open a living person’s body, regardless whether it was from the rate of bleeding, or the shape of the cut. Without a heartbeat, without a pulse, exactly how did such a state form?

No matter how one looked at it, it was just very unimaginable.

Usually always carrying a deadpan face, yet this while, he still couldn’t help but frown.

Of course, Gong Jiu’s mental tolerance was also quite strong. He didn’t believe that circumstances outside of common sense just didn’t exist. It can only mean that towards this area, he didn’t have enough understanding.

His goal was to find Changping Marchioness’s cause of death. Because she’d died so strangely, it thus was the most frightening.

However, Gong Jiu still didn’t find the cause, even if having the flesh on the four limbs all cut open, the bone also for the most part all struck open, the head also completely opened……..

Under normal circumstances, this kind of soundless death should be caused by certain poisons. However, Gong Jiu had used every method he could use to examine, all showing that there weren’t any anomalies. Just like a perfectly fine person just that suddenly stopped breathing, no illness, no injuries, no poison, strangely dying.

The place got turned into quite the bloody mess by Gong Jiu, to the extent that when the others came to inquire, seeing that scene, even if they were actually used to seeing all kinds of corpses, having experienced all sorts of situations, they still felt a bit frightened. Looking towards Gong Jiu, that was clearly once their good brother, yet this while, they all strangely carried a bit of reverence, especially when seeing Gong Jiu expressionlessly face the already disorderly corpse.

Just like, when compared to ordinary people, they seem not that normal, but compared to him, they seemingly couldn’t be more normal. Can this be considered a kind of comfort?

In reality, in Gong Jiu’s eyes, this scene really wasn’t anything. Gong Jiu, in a certain sense, actually was a bit nitpicky, pursuing perfection. In the very beginning, perhaps it really was a completely mess, but at this point, regardless whether it was the incisions, or the things extracted from the corpse, it can all be said to have a clear and methodical order. It was just because the death wasn’t normal, thus having a bit more blood.

An Er went forward with two others, ignoring the scene as much as possible, having his attention all placed on Gong Jiu, “How is it?”

Gong Jiu didn’t respond, his head still lowered, examining inch by inch, wanting to see if he’d overlooked anything.

All the way until Gong Jiu’s line of sight inadvertently landed on that brain that was cut up and spread out like thin tissue paper, seemingly discovering a trace of change, yet seemingly also like as if there was nothing……

A certain thought suddenly appeared in Gong Jiu’s mind, yet it was also just a flash, unable to grasp the source. However, he still captured the most crucial thing right now, “Quick, go get some incense ash.”

The three others looked to one another in dismay. About that, in this estate, where would they go to find incense ash? They’ve simply never burned incense here before.

“In the neighboring estate, there should be incense. If there’s not some already available, then just burn some, don’t need too much.” Gong Jiu coldly spoke.

Obviously, right now, Gong Jiu was the boss.

TN: All

Because he was uncertain whether or not Changping Marchioness’s body had dangers, that’s why, from the start, Gong Jiu just wore special gloves. These gloves ensured that if he were to come in contact with poison at any time, he won’t be affected.

Reaching out, starting from the edge of the ’tissue’, he advanced inward little by little, following along where he felt had changed. Because unable to see, he thus could only rely on his senses. Stopping at a certain area, he sensed something different. It was very subtle. If not careful, one might just overlook. Gong Jiu paused for a moment, even wanting to remove his gloves. Even if the glove was very thin, it still can’t compare with the sensation of using one’s own skin to directly touch. However, in the end, he didn’t do it. Relaxing his strength, very softly, his finger slid across that ‘thing’, wanting to see its shape. However, he didn’t succeed.

In this moment, Gong Jiu just felt, under his finger, there was something, and because of sensing his existence, it was changing its shape along with his movements, letting that ’tissue’ maintain the proper shape.

Perhaps because of having found the ‘source’, Gong Jiu wasn’t in a rush either, very much patient. Relying on that very subtle feeling, and confirming that it didn’t slip away from under his hand was more than enough.

An Er and the others also moved sufficiently quick, and didn’t let Gong Jiu wait too long.

Gong Jiu’s other hand pinched a handful of incense ash, sprinkling little by little on the finger of the other hand.

Afterwards, a certain thing’s true form finally appeared.

That was a bug. Originally, it was glued together with the brain, but because of the incense ash, it actually slowly started swelling. A chubby, half-finger long bug.

Gong Jiu had it picked up. It was very soft, but compared to before, the sensation was more obvious.

In his mind, two words suddenly appeared——–Gu bug.
