Inside the cabinet filled with formented putrefied body parts were soaked inside This was a typical cadaver of a jue to the body, the victih altitude The shape of a hu was barely discernible The victim appeared to have landed headfirst because the skull had cracked open Its shape was practically unrecognizable thanks to the shrunken skin holding it together Since the time of death was recent and the postmortem was done quickly, the putrefaction had not set in that much Other than the bloated stomach, the other parts of the body looked relatively fresh Then again, the freshness only added to the atrociousness of the whole thing

Two surprisingly clear eyeballs floated inside the cracked skull They appeared to be staring at the group of doctors

“Ergh…” Even though Cai Zixuan had just come back from an autopsy, the visual impact of this body had influenced hi realized that they had been given comparatively preserved cadavers to study while more than hundreds of such putrefied cadavers were stored inside the ue

Emptiness, blank emptiness Gu Jun looked at the cadaver with extrehts appeared to flicker at the corner of his vision It was the precursor to the trigger of an illusion…

“Gu Jun, how do you feel?” wang Ruoxiang asked with a frown She also felt that soh she could not put her finger on it

“We need to look at o of the cabinet’s handle and walked to the adjacent one He pulled it open ang Ruoxiang, and they were rewarded with another pile of flesh and bones in a suspension of for haphazardly Unlike the distortion to the victims of Malformed Banyan Disease, the chaos before his eyes was a discord that could not be er, and his heart was racing The sound of heartbeat pounded in hismoved with him to open the next cabinet The sent asrotesque display The group had no idea what Gu Jun was doing, but even they could feel the sense of absurdity that was lingering in the air

“Erumbled as his eyes swept over one dead body after another His heart was beating so fast that it made him feel uncomfortable “These… are all just empty shells”

‘E away the fog He had gained a closer understanding of this emptiness…

These bodies had no soul, not even the trace of one’s inhabitation Was this because the nervous systele nervous cell died, or was it because the essence that round froht them relief?

Unlike nor left of humanity in them, these bodies were just a bunch of rotten flesh and bones It was as if that was all they ever were… walking sacs of eured it out, his brain pulsed with pain The feeling slowly coagulated into an illusion, and he was just one step away fro it The connection between hih… Before his training, he knew that he would not be capable enough to athered his focus and used his ESP technique to eclipse the rest of his senses as best he could as he focused on filtering the ‘voices’ that came from the illusion He seemed to hear the sound… of thunder

Instantly, Gu Jun felt his spirit being pulled away froue, and he entered an illusion Oppressive thunder was growling as if the sky was splitting up in anger This caused his heart to shrink in response A giant storcarried by the sluice of water into a deep hole

As Gu Jun neared, he saw that a coffin was buried deep at the botto to cover it up It was an ancient coffin The wooden boards had rotted in many places The color of the wood itself had faded into a strange brownish color, and sos could be seen on the surface of the coffin

Suddenly, with a thud, an arm fell on top of the coffin from above

The arm was as thin as a bone The wrinkled skin had clusters of ers were connected to surprisingly long and sharp nails, giving them the appearance of a claw Several blood capillaries could be seen protruding out of the h the veins

‘What kind of creature is this? The arm does not possess an epidermal layer, so it is not the kind of abnorn civilization…’ Gu Jun wanted to lean in closer to take a look at the rest of the body, but once he did so, the illusion around him started to flicker

‘Calm down, steady,’ he berated hi’s lesson To understand chaos, he should not try toit Gu Jun calmed down and allowed hi!
