Chapter 1506: Chu Wenbin

Chu Wenbin

Hearing these words, Chu Muyun froze in place.

As if realizing something, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes as he turned to look at Jiang Xiaohua!

"It was you!"

"Back then, you were the one who killed Chu Wenbin?!"

People killed in the world of the living would reappear in the form of "Causality" within the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path... The first time Chen Ling killed people, it was that group of organ traffickers on Ice Spring Street. That was also the starting point of his "Causality". And as his "Causality" continued to pile up, it ultimately materialized directly into a tide of coal that came rolling in.

Of course, the tide of coal couldn't hurt Chen Ling. But his "Causality" combined with Sun Bumian's "Causality" directly exposed everyone's position, leading to the descent of several Ghost Path special envoys and nearly wiping everyone out.

This, too, was a link in the karmic retribution of "Causality".

Now that Jiang Xiaohua had drawn out the karmic retribution of Chu Wenbin's "Causality", it naturally proved that the Chu Wenbin of back then... died at the hands of Jiang Xiaohua.

Curses, the Path of the Witch God, nibbling away flesh and blood, devouring organs, the Wuji Domain...

The way Chu Muyun looked at Jiang Xiaohua changed. The rumors about Jiang Xiaohua in his mind gradually overlapped with his memories. A possibility he had never imagined before appeared in his heart!

Jiang Xiaohua gently raised his hand, and the bandages wrapped around his arm flew up. Like a spider web, they directly entangled the dense barrage of syringes in midair.

Jiang Xiaohua's lips parted slightly, and he spat a ring into his palm.

As he put the ring on his finger and casually took down an entangled syringe, a certain mysterious cursing ritual took shape in his hands. Then, he pointed a finger through the air toward the end of the pitch-black street...

"[Exorcism]," Jiang Xiaohua said indifferently.

The next second,

A mournful, shrill howl of a ghost crying rang out from the darkness!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"It's you... It's you!!"

"You can't kill me! You shouldn't kill me!! I am the divine doctor of the Wuji Domain!! I am the great hero who saved humanity!!"

"Give me back my life... Give it back to me!!!"

A ghostly phantom shot out from the darkness!

The moment he saw that ghost, Chu Muyun's heart trembled, and his pupils involuntarily contracted...

He would never forget that face. That was the shadow of the darkest moment in his life. To warn himself, he had even placed the only photograph of that person on his desk, just waiting for the day he could find him again and put an end to everything from back then.

That was Chu Wenbin!!

Jiang Xiaohua's curse could actually directly harm ghosts. Chu Wenbin's ghost seemed to have been provoked by this curse into recalling the painful memories from when he was alive. He completely ignored Chu Muyun beside him and flew straight toward Jiang Xiaohua.

Suxi silently took a step back, looking at Jiang Xiaohua's back and beginning to sneer...

He had only promised to help them find Chu Wenbin, and now he had already done it. Although he had an obligation to manage the ghosts of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path and couldn't let a ghost like Chu Wenbin come into contact with outsiders... but who cares? If they started fighting, maybe he would have a chance to escape.

Jiang Xiaohua didn't even glance at Chu Wenbin's ghost. Instead, he directly turned his head to look at Chu Muyun.

"He... is yours now."

The next second, Chu Muyun's figure darted out!

The woolen overcoat danced wildly in the surging airflow. Unprecedented killing intent flickered in the eyes of this seemingly gentle and refined "doctor"!

"It's useless," Suxi said faintly. "He is human, and that thing is a ghost. He simply can't touch..."

Before Suxi finished his words.

Chu Muyun pulled out a translucent scalpel from his pocket and stabbed it right into the ghost's abdomen!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

A howl even more heart-wrenching than when enduring the curse just now rang out. Chu Wenbin's ghost seemed to feel an immense pain, and even his facial features contorted violently!

Suxi was rendered speechless...

Chu Muyun had waited so many years for this day. Of course he knew that humans couldn't harm ghosts without special means. Now that he had finally entered the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path with great difficulty, how could he not be well prepared?

This scalpel in his hand was borrowed from the Eight of Hearts. This brain surgeon who specialized in souls and the mind had unique methods for targeting souls... As long as this scalpel touched a target, it would directly inflict ultimate pain on their soul.

"Who... who are you?" The agonizing Chu Wenbin finally saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly and fell into bewilderment.

Chu Wenbin had never seen Chu Muyun's appearance after his rebirth, so naturally he couldn't recognize him.

"Me...?"

Holding the handle of the scalpel backhandedly, Chu Muyun smashed it heavily into the ghost's chest, directly knocking him back half a block and tumbling back into the darkness where the syringes had flown from.

With a cold face, Chu Muyun slowly approached that patch of darkness...

A familiar house appeared before his eyes.

His guess was correct. Chu Wenbin's ghost must have been lingering in this house all along because of his obsession. It was Jiang Xiaohua's appearance just now that caused the Ghost Path to fan the flames and launch an attack using Chu Wenbin's "Causality".

He stepped into this house, which to him bore endless pain and darkness, step by step. The table, the chairs, the bed, the hanging paintings, the fireplace... Every arrangement here was exactly the same as in his memory, especially that cold operating table and the blood-stained restraint straps on it.

Chu Muyun's gaze swept over a certain object under the operating table, and his body stiffened involuntarily...

He slowly squatted down and picked up that tattered rattle-drum.

"Do you not recognize me anymore... Father."

The tattered rattle-drum shook lightly in his hand, emitting hollow and muffled thumping sounds. Chu Muyun's tone was incomparably complex.

The floating Chu Wenbin froze for a moment. His thoughts, which had become incredibly sluggish after becoming a ghost, finally sorted themselves out. The gaze he used to look at Chu Muyun was filled with astonishment and horror!

"You... you are... you are Muyun?!"

Swish—

The scalpel instantly pierced through the palm of Chu Wenbin's right hand, pinning it firmly to the wall beside him!!

"Are you very surprised? You thought I was already dead, right?" A cold light flickered in Chu Muyun's eyes. "You never expected that I would appear before you in such an appearance, in such a manner... Were you very disappointed when you couldn't find my ghost in the River Styx back then?"

"How... how did you..."

"Thanks to you, I obtained [Rebirth]." Chu Muyun slowly twisted the scalpel in his hand. The blade continuously stirred Chu Wenbin's soul, causing him to let out heart-wrenching howls.

"Back then, I was supposed to kill you with my own hands."

"But when I found you, someone else had already beaten me to it..."

"All these years, I could never understand... People say that even a tiger won't eat its cub. Why, then, could you use your own son for human experimentation? Back then, when you watched me being tortured to the point of wishing for death by the curse you injected...

As a father, just what exactly were you thinking?"
