Chapter 698: Will You Confess?

~7 min read 1,315 words

"You don't have it, you don't know what it is?" Chen Yu was furious. He grabbed the rabbit by the collar, dragged him in front of the incense table, pointed at the Three-Eyed Evil God, and shouted: "What is this Three-Eyed Evil God for? If Tongtong's death has nothing to do with you, then why are you worshipping this evil god and drawing so many Talismans on your own body?"

"If you weren't a thief with a guilty conscience, would you have hidden yourself here?"

"Let me go, I'm calling the police." The rabbit remained stubborn.

Chen Yu was furious. He grabbed the rabbit's hair and slammed his head violently onto the incense table.

Thud! The guy's head hit the incense table, leaving him bloodied. After several times, the rabbit's vision went black.

Seeing that this guy was still stubborn, Chen Yu took out a Dagger and stabbed it into the guy's thigh without hesitation.

"Ah..." the rabbit shrieked in agony.

"Speak, or not?" Chen Yu twisted the Dagger embedded in the rabbit's thigh and said coldly.

The rabbit still didn't speak. Chen Yu pulled out the Dagger and stabbed it into the other side...

The rabbit rolled his eyes, nearly fainting.

"Rabbit, stop being stubborn. You can't afford to offend these two friends. Better a short pain than a long one; just say what you need to say and get it over with," Lao Hei said coldly.

A small-time hoodlum like the rabbit was usually very arrogant, but he was terrified of an old street thug like Lao Hei. Coupled with the ruthlessness of Chen Yu and Zhang Peng, the guy caved in.

He cried out weakly: "Don't, don't do this anymore. I'll talk, I'll talk..."

Chen Yu released the rabbit. The rabbit collapsed onto the ground, and the blood from his head streamed down over his eyes, blurring his vision.

"She... she was pushed down and hit her head..." The rabbit struggled to lean against the wall, gasping for air: "Liu Tong was from out of town. She had no family or friends here. I... I took a fancy to her and wanted to be her boyfriend, but she wouldn't..."

"One night, I had been drinking and tried to force myself on her, but she scratched me. Then she threatened to call the police. I begged for a long time before she reluctantly agreed not to report it." The rabbit swallowed hard: "But she warned me that if I dared to lay a hand on her again, she wouldn't be polite."

"So what did you do to her?" Chen Yu shouted.

"So I held a grudge and wanted to kill her..." the rabbit gasped.

"You bastard." Zhang Peng was furious; he stepped forward and kicked the rabbit hard.

The rabbit screamed in pain. He clutched his head and cried: "I regret it. I really didn't mean to. I didn't think her resentment would be so heavy."

"What's the deal with this Three-Eyed Evil God? Also, how did you manufacture the accident to make her fall? Why would she go looking for Zhang Yan?" Chen Yu asked.

"She was a new hire at Zhang Yan's studio. You know what Zhang Yan's temper is like—foul and stubborn..." The rabbit's voice lowered involuntarily: "And... and I have this evil god protecting me, and I have Talismans on me, so she couldn't get near me."

"Understood..." Chen Yu nodded: "She believed her death was caused by both you and Zhang Yan, so since she couldn't teach you a lesson, she went to find Zhang Yan?"

"Yes... that's how it is." The rabbit nodded timidly.

"One more question, you set up this evil god a long time ago, didn't you? You knew early on that she would turn into a Ghost?" Chen Yu shouted: "What is this about?"

"This..." The rabbit's face changed slightly, but he didn't dare to continue.

"Speak..." Zhang Peng suddenly grabbed a stool and smashed it heavily onto the rabbit.

"I'll talk, stop hitting me, I'll talk..." The rabbit, covered in blood, said weakly: "I hate Zhang Yan. Whenever she's unhappy, she beats and scolds me, not treating me like a human..."

"So I wanted to get rid of her for a long time... My grandfather understood the Descending Head Technique when he was alive... Actually, Liu Tong was hit by a Descending Head I cast. Her slipping was because of the Descending Head. And... and she was wearing red that night, plus she had resentment, so she was bound to turn into a Ghost. I wanted to get rid of both of them, so I had to prepare in advance..."

"So Liu Tong's resentment toward my sister was your doing?" Zhang Peng said angrily.

"It wasn't entirely my fault. She... she treated her employees too poorly. I saw her slap Liu Tong in the face last time... Your sister has her own problems; she doesn't treat us like humans." The rabbit broke down in tears.

"Alright, the cause is clear." Chen Yu stared at the rabbit: "I didn't expect this kid to actually know the Descending Head Technique. No wonder that girl turned into a Ghost in just a few days."

"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?" Zhang Peng said, somewhat anxiously.

"Have this kid lead the way; we're going to find the body," Chen Yu said: "Once we find the body, we'll lay her to rest, and then I'll communicate with her to explain the situation."

"Lead the way." Zhang Peng kicked the rabbit.

Guyue Temple is actually quite far from Shengjing, belonging to the Huanjing region, over a hundred kilometers away by car.

Moreover, that place is located on a large Mountain where no one lives. The area has always been full of legends and has a relatively heavy Yin energy.

Guyue Temple is a long-abandoned temple. According to local legends, this temple is very ominous, and homeless wandering souls often drift about inside.

To prevent these wandering souls from drifting around and hurting people, a Nunnery was built on the summit in the early days of the founding of the country. This Nunnery is called 'Jizhao Nunnery', and each generation only has one nun to carry on the tradition.

It is said that this Nunnery was built specifically to suppress the wandering souls in Guyue Temple, but what the truth is, no one really knows.

By the time they arrived at Guyue Temple, it was already slightly dark. The temple was overgrown with weeds and in a state of extreme disrepair.

This place could indeed be considered an ominous site, though not as supernatural as the rumors suggested.

But the surrounding Yin energy was strong enough, and a demonic wind blew from time to time. It was already very lucky that Li Yan hadn't encountered anything truly special while livestreaming there that night.

The rabbit led the group into the courtyard of Guyue Temple, where there was a Dry Well pressed down by a stone and some debris.

"This... this is the well." The rabbit pointed at the well, trembling: "Actually, I knew at the time that she wasn't dead, just in a temporary state of shock."

"Then why did you push her down?" Zhang Peng was furious and kicked him flying.

"I was possessed by a ghost. I wanted to be her boyfriend, but she rejected me and humiliated me." The rabbit screamed. Zhang Peng, still not satisfied, stepped forward and kicked him a few more times.

The rabbit lay on the ground spitting blood. If Zhang Peng kicked him a few more times, the guy would probably pass out directly.

"That's enough. Not many people who understand the Descending Head Technique have a righteous heart," Chen Yu stopped Zhang Peng and said: "Let's get Liu Tong's body out of here first."

"Alright." Zhang Peng nodded and signaled for several bodyguards to clear the debris from the Jingkou.
