Chapter 212: #212 - Yin Corpse Poison

Looking at the man before him, Jiang Wen knew he was suffering from corpse poison. However, judging by his expression, he was still conscious.

This was truly rare, and even Jiang Wen was surprised.

After all, those infected with corpse poison usually turned into mindless zombies. Previously, Shen Yue Shu's close friend had also been infected, falling into a coma.

But the man before him had clearly been poisoned for more than a day or two, making it truly difficult to maintain his awareness.

"You, what are you saying?" Chen Zheng looked at the man before him in a panic, desperately wanting to escape, to get away from this place at all costs. He felt as if he were naked before this man, completely exposed.

Chen Zheng felt terrified and scared. He didn't want his current state to be discovered, didn't want to be seen as a freak. If others knew about his mutation, he would surely be captured and taken to a research institute, where he would be sliced and diced. Just thinking about that cold scene made him feel suffocated, unable to breathe.

"I'm not, I'm not!" Chen Zheng repeatedly shook his head. "I, I'm just sick, sick!"

He cowered, retreating into the shadows, his speech stammering, filled with fear and unease.

"I won't hurt anyone, don't force me."

Looking at Chen Zheng's appearance, Jiang Wen immediately understood his thoughts. He must be undergoing a transformation due to the corpse poison, which was why he was aware of his difference. Becoming a freak in human society meant he would eventually be discovered and even used for research.

Realizing this, he gave Chen Zheng a kind smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to capture you. On the contrary, I'm here to save you."

"Is there still hope for my cousin?" Chen Wenmu looked at Jiang Wen with anticipation, now completely convinced of the Celestial Master's abilities. He was far superior to anyone they had hired before, a true master with real skills.

"Of course," Jiang Wen nodded. "It's not a big deal."

Saying that, he asked Chen Zheng to come out.

Chen Zheng hesitated, and only after confirming that Jiang Wen really wouldn't harm him did he dare to take two steps outside. However, as soon as his skin touched the sunlight, it immediately emitted a charred smell, as if it were being burned.

Chen Zheng painfully withdrew his hand, staring at the sunlight with extreme fear.

"Can't be exposed to sunlight? This corpse poison you have is quite interesting." Jiang Wen was surprised by this situation. Logically speaking, zombies shouldn't fear the sun, only ghosts do.

With a hint of nostalgia, Jiang Wen looked at the little girl and smiled: "I won't hurt your dad, but don't you want your dad to return to normal? Or do you want to stay here with your dad like this, until you starve to death or are discovered?"

"…" The little girl was silent for a long time, then moved her body aside.

Jiang Wen reached out and tapped Chen Zheng's acupoints, then patted his abdomen with his palm. Afterwards, he fed him a detoxification pill, and after feeding him, he checked Chen Zheng's physical condition and nodded.

"Eat some light porridge every day, and you'll recover in a week," Jiang Wen instructed the little girl, then looked at Chen Wen. "Mr. Chen's cousin's family is so poor, this child is about to starve to death."

"It's not that they're poor, I've sent things over before, but they don't want them, and it's not like his family doesn't have money," Chen Wen said with a wry smile. "It's just that my cousin has refused to see me, and even this child guards against me like a thief. If I hadn't accidentally discovered his abnormalities, I wouldn't have known what he had become."

"No wonder," Jiang Wen said, understanding. After all, judging by Chen Zheng's mental state just now, it was normal that Chen Wen couldn't communicate with him. He just didn't know who the Chen family had offended or how they had accidentally contracted this corpse poison, causing such a situation.

"This corpse poison is easy to resolve, but Mr. Chen still needs to tell me clearly where it came from. Otherwise, even if this time is cured, you'll still be infected next time, which is a temporary solution," Jiang Wen said.

"I understand, I will tell the Celestial Master everything I know when I get back," Chen Wen said frankly.

As the two prepared to leave the residential building, Jiang Wen smelled a different aura from the house that was sealed off by the police not far from Chen Zheng's home. He stopped and looked at the room, frowning.

"Celestial Master, what happened?" Chen Wen asked curiously.

"The death in this house is not simple," Jiang Wen pointed to the house, lowering his voice. "It doesn't seem man-made."

"Does the Celestial Master want to go to the scene to take a look?" Chen Wen asked.

"Is it possible to go take a look?"

"Of course, I'm very familiar with the director of this jurisdiction. I even know the President of Malaysia," Chen Wen couldn't help but laugh, having confidence in the Chen family's power that had been built up in Malaysia for many years. After all, the Chen family had been rooted here for many years and was a multi-billion dollar businessman, it was impossible that they wouldn't have their own connections. It could even be said that the Chen family was one of the behind-the-scenes tycoons in Malaysia.

"Then let's go take a look," Jiang Wen took the lead and walked in. The police officers who were blocking the way were about to stop him, but after receiving a phone call, they let the two in.

Two corpses lay in the room, the smell was slightly unpleasant. Jiang Wen looked at the two corpses, and saw deep tooth marks on their necks. It seemed that their necks had been bitten through by something fierce, and the couple only had horrified expressions on their faces.

Their skin was pale and bloodless, and it seemed that they had been drained of blood and died. Jiang Wen squinted his eyes a few times, and roughly understood what had caused all of this.

Combined with Chen Zheng's symptoms just now, these things were caused by a Yin corpse.

"It should be a Yin corpse," Jiang Wen explained to Chen Wen.

The two left the scene and got into the car to drive towards the Chen family villa. Along the way, Chen Wen recalled the major events that had happened to the Chen family during this period. The most important thing was that a few months ago, they had snatched a piece of fat from another family in Malaysia.

"Perhaps it was because of this incident that the Chen family was poisoned," Jiang Wen said calmly, looking out the car window. "And they certainly won't let it go."

What kind of place is Nanyang? An extremely chaotic place. As long as you have money and power, you can basically do whatever you want.

As soon as Jiang Wen finished speaking, he saw a large truck not far away rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the truck, Chen Wen's eyes widened, his expression unbelievable.
