Wu Xian had nowhere to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch as they drew nearer, their shattered wounds and icy faces becoming clearer and more real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions grew twisted, strands of resentful, malevolent qi enveloping Wu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian suddenly felt excruciating pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head throbbed as if splitting, his heart clenched like it was being twisted, his whole body felt torn apart—grief, terror, rage, regret—all emotions surged at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wu Xian hadn’t deliberately delayed his return home to observe the situation, this tragedy might never have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good dog, thank you for warning me just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian began to feel bored—whatever you’re planning, can’t you just get it over with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian returned to his room with five vials of black dog blood; before closing the door, he smiled gently at the black dog: “Eat up, take good care of yourself—I may need your blood again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian endured the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the death count in Chapter One, I can’t say it’s because people from the Fudi replenish the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he could at least resist the spirits a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the black dog wasn’t hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dog howled even more pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it won’t be this simple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if someone questions why the protagonist smiles upon entering the Fudi or why he’s obsessed with it, I can’t explain that he might have come from inside the Fudi…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at those four pale, horrifying faces drawing ever closer—so near now they pressed against him, he could clearly see maggots crawling in their wounds—he couldn’t help but smile helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the four malevolent spirits vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized he had been cursed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This curse came from the family of this body; only by resolving their resentment and helping them complete their revenge could the curse be lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dog lunged, but Wu Xian easily seized its throat, then pulled out several syringes from his bundle with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t think of any way to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five minutes of silent staring had been terrifying enough to make Shi Ji soil himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place certainly wasn’t like the previous Fudi, where spirits could appear in broad daylight—but the dangers here were no less than those of the last world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps even more terrifying, more hopeless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian then conducted a quick survey of the room and soon reconstructed the general sequence of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After vomiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then come join us—we must stay together, as a family, forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian felt a wave of nausea and rushed to the bathroom to induce vomiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a trivial request… though it’s a bit cruel, I still hope you’ll help me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the problem with mystery novels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu’s family treated him well, but for some reason, the killer suddenly attacked, killing He Ya—the closest to him—first, slicing open his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woof, woof woof…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carefully prepared dishes still sat on the dining table, only partially eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because Wu Xian was in control of this body, all these negative emotions fell upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor’s grief finally eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many such unspeakable things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian chattered for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing five full vials of blood, Wu Xian released the limp, pitiful dog and placed the plate of pork knuckle before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last to die was Xu Xiaoyan; she hid in a cabinet, hoping to escape the massacre, but the killer found her and slit her abdomen through the cabinet door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four bloodied hands seized Wu Xian’s face; the spirits’ bodies softened and poured into him through his face. Wu Xian instantly felt icy cold all over, an unbearable sensation—as if doom were about to strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian ignored its warning and swiftly climbed over the railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian lay on the ground for a long while before standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you standing guard right here with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you won’t give me a quick death, your bodies are so cold—can’t I at least put on some clothes before you continue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four malevolent spirits finally moved again; each spoke one word to Wu Xian, heavy with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it went into Wu Xian’s stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decorations on the four-layer cake were never red fruit—they were fresh bloodstains; atop the cake sat a human eyeball, its origin unknown…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Xian found a pork knuckle untouched by blood or flesh on his dining table, picked up his hospital bundle and dishes, stepped outside, and saw the black dog again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killer must have used some pretext to enter Xu’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a warning: his home was no longer safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a loyal dog deserved a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian pulled out the syringes from his bundle, stabbed one into the black dog, drew a full vial of black dog blood, then a second, a third…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirits vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room had become a crime scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Avenge us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian returned home with the black dog blood, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian, with dark circles under his eyes, finally couldn’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you just kill me quickly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill the killer, kill his entire family—we can rest only then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some deliberately planted foreshadowing was questioned by readers; I can’t explain, because explaining would spoil it—and spoiling would ruin other readers’ experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good dog, eat some meat to recover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s mind flashed back to all the information he’d seen; suddenly, he realized the entire Fudi was steeped in strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a highly skilled killer could commit such a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian heard barking outside again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing was efficient and brutal; the killer left little evidence, wasted no time, gave the victims no chance—he came solely to slaughter the whole family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around: the once warm room was now a mess, splattered with blood, the corpses of the four family members scattered everywhere—horrifying to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dog might have sensed the malevolent spirits clinging to Wu Xian’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog retreated to the corner, tail tucked, trembling as it stared at Wu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian, who had experienced something similar before, did not relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, if you find anything unreasonable, raise your doubts—but don’t rush to attack me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the resentful, malevolent qi, the four spirits did not harm Wu Xian; they merely stood there, staring at him with cold, unblinking eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary murderer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But five minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neighbor’s black dog began barking wildly again; Wu Xian finally understood its reaction—and his neighbor’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these emotions were not Wu Xian’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian could finally move freely; the discomfort from the curse remained, but he could move as he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he crouched low, bared his teeth, watched Wu Xian with sharp vigilance, and occasionally growled—a warning not to come closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elders heard the noise, saw their daughter-in-law fall, rushed forward to fight the killer—but one was split down the middle, the other had his head severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder it was so peaceful earlier—so this Fudi works like this: everything before was just setup; only by helping the ghosts seek revenge can I survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them died nearly simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just bear with it a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe I’ll give you an ending you never saw coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-20T14:31:06.102Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c580cce1c65590d7659513de809c5cbe9413f7ce66e979c25e07016bfa7e41fa","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-53","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-51",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
