Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

The top priority now was to remove all the rotting flesh.

But he did not carry a dagger on him, what to do?

Song Yun got up, looked around the ancestral hall and saw a small knife wrapped in sharkskin on the offering table under the light.

Heaven hadn't abandoned him after all!

Song Yun drew the knife, its chilling blade reflected the candlelight, brightening the ominous space somewhat.

He heated the knife over the candle flame as a form of disinfection, then squatted down and inserted a short wooden stick into Wen Shu's mouth, to prevent him from accidentally biting off his own tongue unconsciously.

With everything in place, Song Yun's demeanor transformed, resembling a divine healer ready to save lives. His knife rose and fell decisively, slicing away piece after piece of the putrid flesh from Wen Shu's arm.

Gradually, blood began to seep out on Wen Shu's arm, revealing healthy pink flesh once more.

Song Yun let out a sigh of relief, grateful that he had intervened in time, otherwise, if the poison had reached the bone, they would need to scrap the bone to treat the injury!

He grabbed a handful of ashes from the incense burner and sprinkled them evenly on Wen Shu's wound. The incense ash had the effect of reducing inflammation, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, and before long Wen Shu's body, which had been in a coma, slowly returned to normal temperature.

Taking advantage of this moment, Song Yun began to observe his surroundings. The village's ancestral hall covered a wide area, easily seven or eight hundred square meters, divided into inner and outer halls.

The inner hall is generally where the village chief and the elders discuss important matters, while the outer hall houses the ancestral tablets of the village.

"Bang bang bang!"

The demonic woman outside, having freed herself from her restraints, continued her relentless assault on the door. Song Yun gripped the knife tightly, ready to take a life if she dared to burst in!

"Woo woo woo!"

Suddenly, the sound of horns echoed throughout the village, and the villagers who had been relentlessly attacking people began to walk towards the source of the sound with vacant eyes.

Inside the hall, Song Yun was surprised to find that the sound of the horns was drawing nearer, then it entered the inner hall and abruptly stopped. Countless villagers were pounding at the door, and even the staunch ancestral hall seemed to be struggling under the assault.

"Damn it!"

Song Yun picked up the unconscious Wen Shu and ran towards the inner hall.

The interior of the inner hall was meticulously arranged, and after passing through numerous corridors, Song Yun arrived at the entrance of a room.

"Who's out there!"

An elderly voice came from within.

Song Yun frowned; unknown people lay ahead, while crazed villagers were chasing from behind. He was truly caught between a rock and a hard place!

No matter, let's see what's inside!

Song Yun pushed the door open and saw six elders in black robes forming a circle. In the center sat a shriveled corpse, and the six elders emitted bursts of light, as if continually breathing life into the corpse.

"No outsiders are allowed in here!"

One of the elders shouted in a deep voice, "Get out!"

"I'm not from your village anyway."

Song Yun placed Wen Shu on a chair, asking with keen interest, "Are you trying to revive a corpse that's been dead for years? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

"Foreigner..."

"How could an outsider have been let in at such a critical moment..."

"Fuck! Is that the demonic witch Wen Shu sitting in the chair? She dares to come back after stealing the sacred object!"

"What are you all babbling about."

Song Yun realized that the six people were engaged in some ritual and couldn't afford to be distracted, so he said boldly, "Your village has already been destroyed, all the villagers have taken a gene potion and turned into zombies. I just escaped from the outside, and that scene, boy, is too grisly to look at!"

"Impossible! That Holy Water was brought in by the Divine Envoy; it can't possibly have any side effects!"

"You little brat dare to slander the Divine Envoy! You'll have no peaceful end!"

Six elderly faces gradually revealed a trace of fury as they glared at Song Yun, curses pouring endlessly from their mouths.

But soon, their eyes were filled with fear, the light in their hands suddenly intensified, and then was sucked away by the mummified corpse, clinging onto them tightly, as streams of the essence of life flowed into the body of the mummified corpse.

The skin of the mummy became elastic during this continuous restoration, filling out the person's figure.

And these six old people ended up sucked dry, crumbled into dust with a gust of wind!

That's too terrifying!

Is this damn thing the legendary Star Absorption Technique?

Song Yun, on alert, shouldered Wen Shu and turned to run, preferring to carve a bloody path through the villagers rather than face such a resurrected old pervert!

"Since you've already come, why the hurry to leave?"

A raspy voice came from behind Song Yun, the mummified corpse waved its hand, and countless insects crawled in from all directions, firmly blocking Song Yun's way out.

"Who on earth are you?"

"Who I am is not important, what is important is that Wen Shu needs to stay."

The mummified corpse stood up and moved its body a bit, the dehydration of many years made it difficult for him to properly control his strength.

"What if I refuse?"

The mummy let out a cold laugh, and with a whistle from its fingers to its mouth, countless insects swarmed towards Song Yun, ready to swallow him instantly.

"Ding! The system was blocked by some factors just now, does the host need to change the rewards with different events and locations?"

The mechanical voice of the system rang out, and Song Yun didn't have time to worry about that, quickly he clicked on the yes button.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful change, you are awarded a set of Protective Body Technique!"

Instantly, a transparent film stretched out from Song Yun's body, expanding infinitely.

Soon, this thin film became a spherical barrier, holding off countless insects outside.

The scene surprised the mummified corpse, which clapped its hands in admiration, "It seems you're not an average young man."

"Less nonsense! Die!"

Song Yun, behind the barrier, thrust his knife straight towards the skin of the mummy.

"Clang!"

The knife collided with the mummy's skin, making a metallic sound.

Song Yun frowned and stared intently at the other's every move, with his Protective Body Technique, and the enemy impervious to blades, neither could do anything to the other!

"Young man, if you return the holy relic hidden by Wen Shu to me, I can grant you the path to immortality, eternal wealth and honor!"

The mummy pondered as he looked at Song Yun.

Immortality?

That kind of thing only seems to happen in fantasy novels!

How could there be a path to immortality in modern society!

The mummy seemed to notice Song Yun's disdain as he shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe, but I have lived for more than three hundred years, I am the best proof of that!"

Old pervert!

Song Yun cursed inwardly, then asked, "If you are so powerful, why are you so obsessed with a holy relic? Or to put it another way, could it be that this holy relic is the key to your immortality?"

"Hahaha, astute young man."

The mummy's throat let out a harsh laugh, nodding, "Indeed, the holy relic has the function you imagined, but..."
