Satan's Servant (35) (Part II)
The sudden tragic death of 30 patients and a young detective at the Royal Hospital in London undoubtedly made headlines in the major media again. Because these 30 patients have all had strange self-harm behaviors before, and the dead private detective 'Jun Hao' was alluded to as a 'devil detective' by the "Sun", coupled with some entertainment gossip media using a series of recent deaths to constantly promote the "Grim Reaper", "Devil", "Evil Spirit" and other theories, for a time the whole London was full of discussions, and the supernatural gods and ghosts stirred up everyone's hearts.www.biquge.info
However, human beings are forgetful. When the BBC reported on the killings that appeared to be terrorist attacks, all eyes turned to national security. After all, the theory of ghosts and gods is far less frightening than the unstable factors of reality.
When people gradually began to forget the tragedy of the Royal London Hospital, no one noticed that several self-harm survivors who had not been admitted to the Royal London Hospital died mysteriously in the following days.

By the time Tianyun woke up, he had already returned to the Marquis Palace in Vashag.
As soon as I woke up, I felt a terrible headache. Memories of the previous days are mixed and confusing. It's like a cut image, an incoherent memory, more like a delusion or a dream.
Sitting at the head of the bed, thinking carefully for a long time, Tianyun's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of surprise and uneasiness. Suddenly got up, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed out of the bedroom and went straight to the top floor.
Pushing open the door to the study, he looked slightly anxiously at Vashag, who was looking through the letters at his desk. Tianyun opened his mouth, wanting to ask about Jun Hao, but the moment he saw Vashag, he forcibly swallowed back what he wanted to ask.
"He's dead." Three simple words, but Tianyun's heart sank instantly.
Vashag put down the letter in his hand and looked up. It was extremely difficult for Tianyun to hide from him, not to mention that her mood fluctuations were so obvious at the moment.
"It's already a miracle that you have been hit by the 'Burning Spirit Fire' of the Demon Realm and can save part of your spirit body. Whether or not he can enter heaven or hell in the spirit realm is beyond the influence of outsiders. Vashag spoke in a flat tone, and Tianyun silently walked to his side, biting his lower lip, but did not speak.
"Girl, it's just a game. A pawn in his **. What's more, he should have died long before you hunted Stephen. You've already saved him once. β
What Vashag said was true. However, Tianyun's heart still can't be calm.
- He's dead. He's really dead......
ββCan humans not be resurrected after death?
- Why did he rush up suddenly?
- Why did he save me?
- Why can't I ignore his death?
Tianyun's heart was in chaos. Her extremely disordered mood made her unable to think about anything calmly.
The only thing she can confirm is that she doesn't want 'Jun Hao' to die like this.
- Can't the uncle resurrect him?
Looking up at Vashag, Tianyun wanted to ask this question. However, she ended up just biting her lip and remaining silent. Because she knew that even if she spoke, Vashag would not save Jun Hao.
- Vashag doesn't like Jun Hao. Just as Jun Hao didn't like him.
"Girl, rest for a few days. Don't try to do things that don't make sense. I don't know if I have insight into Tianyun's thoughts, Vashag specially instructed. Tianyun answered softly, and silently exited the study.

London. Western. Underground tunnels.
Oval tunnels made of dark yellow bricks stretch across the long corridors beneath London. Dirty, shady. Except for carriers of viruses and bacteria, it is extremely difficult to find signs of life in this underground labyrinth.
Here, the pungent smell fills the air, almost suffocating.
On weekdays, workers entering the tunnel for maintenance must wear gas masks, otherwise their lives are in danger. Therefore, there is absolutely no trace of human beings in the underground tunnels of London at night.
However, at this moment. At seven o'clock in the evening, under the beneath of London, along the underground corridors, going deeper into the central area of this almost dead space, you will be surprised to find that hundreds of people have gathered here.
Hundreds of people were prostrate on the squalid underground tunnel floor, worshipping a man in a moon-white robe.
The man wore a black mask, which obscured most of his face, revealing only two plump red lips. He looked indifferently at the crowd on his knees, and let them crawl on the filthy and oily ground, silently listening to their prayers.
"Holy Shiva! β¦β¦ We pray for your well-being, guidance and inspiration to our souls! β¦β¦ Bless me. Protect me. Purify my soul! β
The sound of pious prayers, the sound of prayers in unison. Everyone in front of him was wearing black cloaks, and their entire bodies were covered under the black cloaks, clinging to the ground. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the open ten fingers.
Around the crowd, countless white candles were placed. The candlelight flickered, and the candle shadow was reflected in the dirty sewage. Black and white are intertwined and mixed. Like the indistinguishable light from the dark.
The man in the moon-white robe is the sacrificial 'Xin'. At this moment, it was he who gathered hundreds of humans with dark souls in this area.
He did this to prepare a gift.
"So...... Dedicate your souls. β
Xin opened his mouth indifferently, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Around him, all the human beings who were prostrate on the ground fell to the ground one by one. The candles around lit the oil on the ground and set fire to a black body. No screaming, no screaming, no struggle.
Only. Peaceful death.
When the flames spread to all the black bodies, the entire underground tunnel was illuminated by white firelight. The flickering light flickered, and wisps of black mist flew out of the firelight, gathering one by one in Xin's hands. After a long time, when the white flame was completely extinguished, there was a black ash on the ground, as if those humans had never existed in this world.
And at this moment, in Xin's hand, a black bead slowly floated. Looking closely at the black orb, a swirling black mist swirled around it.
Xin closed his palms, and his closed eyes opened suddenly.
Looking up, he muttered, "She...... Calling. β
When the words are closed, the figure disappears.

Standing in the morgue, waiting for Willie to open the freezer and look down at the frozen and stiff body.
"I didn't expect him to die so ......suddenly," Willy said with a sigh and a sad expression, "Our detective, you still have a lot of unsolved cases, how can you just leave?" Who else will accompany me in the future to dissect corpses and study psychopathic murderers? Alas......"
Tianyun silently looked at Jun Hao's frost-covered face, and couldn't tell whether it was uncomfortable or regretful, or some other more complex emotion.
- He's dead. To save me, he died.
- No. The person he wanted to save was not me, but 'Irene'.
- But the truth is, he saved me.
- But is that all you have to do to watch him die?
The mind is still confused. Confusion.
By Salsa. Tianyun knows what it means to 'preserve some of the spirits' and the terrible consequences.
After the death of ordinary humans, the spirit body can enter the spirit world, and according to the darkness and light in the soul, they will be dragged into hell or heaven, respectively, and after receiving the corresponding punishment or reward, they can re-enter the reincarnation and reincarnate.
However, Jun Hao, who has only some spirit bodies, will not be able to enter heaven or hell, and will most likely be trapped in the spirit world forever, or directly become food for other spirit bodies, and completely disappear into this world. And if you want to change Jun Hao's fate, unless you can repair his missing spirit body, or have the power to reverse time and space.
- Is there really no way to save his life?
"Erin, don't be too upset." Seeing that 'Irene' was abnormally pale, Willie opened his mouth to comfort, "People can't be resurrected after death. We can only pray that he will rest in heaven......"
Tianyun shook her head.
- He cannot rest in peace. Because of her. He lost his right to rest after death?
Taking a deep breath, Tianyun looked at Willy and said, "Can you let me be alone with him for a while?" β
Willie was stunned for a moment.
"I want to have a few words with him."
Hear the words. Willy nodded, spoke a few words of comfort, and then pushed the door and left the corpse room.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
lowered his eyes and quietly looked at Jun Hao's stiff face, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Perhaps, at the last moment, he was still relieved to be able to save Erin. But Tianyun saw the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth at this moment, but he became more and more uncomfortable.
"You know what? I'm not the 'Irene' you love at all. Not only am I not her, but I am the culprit who imprisoned her soul! β¦β¦ You self-proclaimed clever detective, do you really think you'll be able to prove Jon's innocence? Do you really think you can find out the cause of Stephen's death? β¦β¦ You're just a normal human being. And me? I'm a bad guy who lives to be a demon! β¦β¦ Why did you save me? Why? β¦β¦ You are just a small pawn in this killing game...... It's just a small chess piece! β¦β¦ But why, why can't I ignore your death? β¦β¦β
Tianyun pulled her long golden hair a little out of control, she shook her head vigorously, and the long golden hair was scattered into a mess, making Tianyun's whole person look like a madman: "No." I can't just let you die. The game isn't over yet. You haven't figured out who killed Tarani, you haven't figured out the source of that anonymous letter, you haven't ...... Didn't see me for who I really am! β¦β¦ So, you definitely can't just die. Absolutely not! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"But...... What can be done to resurrect you? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Dazedly stared at the lifeless, stiff corpse in front of him. Tianyun suddenly hoped that Vashag could help her resurrect Jun Hao. However, she couldn't find a reason to convince Vashag to save Junhao.
"You...... It turned out to be here. A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Turn around. A moon-white figure appeared behind him. A man in a strange black mask stood in front of him smiling.
"Xin?" Tianyun recognized at a glance this strange man who was always wearing a black mask.
Xin's gaze fell on the stiff corpse.
"You want to save him?"
Tianyun looked at Xin blankly, and then nodded heavily.
"Okay." After a moment of silence, Xin looked at Tianyun and said, "I'll help you save him." β
