"So much mercury can't be melted in a few hours. How about this, we can test it tomorrow when the weather is warm again. However, after the mercury melts in the solid state, it will produce a large amount of poisonous gas that would harm the human body. I suggest that we should first close the lid of the coffin. " Qiu Ning carefully examined it and suggested.
"Can't we put it in a heated room?" Lao Qin seemed to be in a hurry to uncover the secret of the corpse.
"Too fast a freezing or melting can cause damage to the body itself. Let's wait a little longer." For safety's sake, Qiu Ning reminded him with good intentions.
That night, Jiang Chao did not return with Qiu Ning to the guest room, but had instead been arranged to stay at the bronze coffin mortuary.
Qiu Ning said that as long as Jiang Chao could stay in the morgue for one night, he would be able to pass the system analysis class.
Honestly speaking, Qiu Ning did not want to harm Jiang Chao, but wanted him to train himself. After all, in the entire Medical Examiner Department, only one student, Jiang Chao, did not even dare touch the corpse of a student in this class.
In the mortuary, Jiang Chao was wearing a protective suit as he stood there.
It was unknown whether it was because the weather was too cold or because he was still afraid even while staying with the corpses, Jiang Chao felt goosebumps all over his body.
There was no heat in the morgue, although there was still a bed, it was used to store corpses, and there were no blankets or anything like that. Jiang Chao walked back and forth in the morgue.
Jiang Chao had hidden quite a few layers of protective equipment, Qiu Ning had said that Jiang Chao could come out of the morgue and go to the toilet along the way, but tomorrow she would watch. If Jiang Chao left the morgue for more than twenty minutes, then the chances of Jiang Chao not studying would basically be zero.
"I need to borrow a mattress from the gatekeeper. Do you want to sleep in this morgue for the night?" Jiang Chao looked at the empty bed and hesitated.
Although the temperature would rise a little from night onwards, the temperature which was so cold that the dregs would fall off wasn't blown out, and after staying in there for such a long time, Jiang Chao was starting to find it hard to resist.
Jiang Chao prepared to leave.
But before the door could open, a strange noise came from behind Jiang Chao.
"What is that sound?" Jiang Chao hurriedly turned his head to scan his surroundings nervously.
However, even after looking carefully, Jiang Chao still could not find the source of the disturbance.
'Could it be because I'm too sleepy and am already hearing things? ' Jiang Chao was puzzled.
Jiang Chao opened the door and wanted to leave, but at the same time, another voice came out!
He might have misheard her once, but it was definitely impossible for him to hallucinate her twice.
Jiang Chao's heart tightened, but when he turned back, he found that the morgue was still the same as before.
He had clearly heard the sound twice. There must be something wrong with the morgue!
Although his heart was thumping hard, Jiang Chao mustered up his courage and scanned the morgue again. He was puzzled, with the current temperature, even if it was a cat or mouse, they would all be in hibernation, and there was only one window in the morgue, and it was closed by Yan Si. Then where did this noise come from?
Just as he was wondering in his heart, all of a sudden, a droning sound rang out!
But this time, Jiang Chao looked very carefully, and the sound actually came from inside the bronze coffin!
The initially trembling of the bronze coffin was not that intense. However, after a short period of time, something within the bronze coffin began to struggle violently.
The heavy coffin began to shake violently, as if it could make the ground tremble!
And such a strange scene caused Jiang Chao's heartbeat to suddenly accelerate.
Jiang Chao resisted the fear in his heart, he could not back down at this critical moment, following that, he quickly took out his millet and tried to call Qiu Ning, to inform her of the situation.
But before Jiang Chao's fingers had touched the dial button, the bronze coffin had calmed down for the moment.
Then, a melodious female voice reached Jiang Chao's ears.
"Can you help this ancestor open the Devil's End Heavenly Coffin?"
"Who are you?" Hearing this female voice, Jiang Chao's heart sank again.
"It doesn't matter who I am. As long as you can help me get out of this predicament, I can satisfy all of your hopes!" The female voice sounded enticing.
"But what if I let you out and you come out to harm people?" The one communicating with him should be the beautiful female corpse inside the coffin.
This coffin was extremely unique and strange, and this female corpse had not rotted for over a thousand years, Jiang Chao would definitely not let her out easily before he understood the situation.
"How about this, if you save Yours Truly and become Yours Truly's savior, before I find a suitable body, Yours Truly will temporarily recognize you as my master and immortality techniques will be passed down to you, allowing you to have the ability to change your body's constitution and fate. Also, Yours Truly guarantees that once I am free, I will not act recklessly, what do you think?" The female voice raised the conditions again.
Immortality? Jiang Chao was startled.
Immortality was something that almost everyone pursued from the bottom of their hearts. Furthermore, the female voice said that cultivating this technique could also change one's fate and physique, which sounded a little unrealistic, but when thinking about the fact that the female corpse had not perished in the coffin for a thousand years, it seemed as if what she said might be true.
However, Jiang Chao was obviously hesitating.
"Have you considered it yet?" The female voice asked after a while.
"I hope you can do what you say!" Jiang Chao said with a serious expression.
"Of course." When the female voice heard this, her words were filled with joy.
"Then how can I help you escape?" Jiang Chao talked about proper matters.
"Drop your blood into the mouth of the Ox-face Monster on the coffin lid. Once Yours Truly has absorbed enough, it will naturally be able to break the seal on the Devil's End Coffin." The female voice asked quickly, afraid that Jiang Chao would go back on his words.
"I'll try." Jiang Chao hesitated, but still walked to the side of the bronze coffin.
"You're not going to go back on your word, are you?" Jiang Chao seemed to be worried, and spoke a few more words.
"I hereby swear that if I break my word, my soul will be destroyed and I will never reincarnate!" The female voice saw that Jiang Chao was still hesitating and immediately swore an oath.
Seeing that, Jiang Chao bit his finger and dripped his blood on the bronze coffin.
"Doing this won't have any effect. Cut your wrist and let blood flow out." The female voice said again.
"Cut open the wrist? If the blood vessels on my wrist were cut, wouldn't I die? " Hearing this, Jiang Chao's face changed.
"Just do as I say. If you want to obtain anything, you must pay the price, and I will guarantee your safety." the woman promised.
Jiang Chao's face showed hesitation, but Jiang Chao also wanted to change his fate, so he used the bronze coffin's sharp corners to cut open a wound on his wrist.
After the blood oozed out from the wound, Jiang Chao slowly fed it into the Ox-Face Engraving's bloody mouth.
With every drop of blood, as long as it entered the mouth of the ox-mask carving, it would be instantly absorbed like a clay ox entering the sea.
When Jiang Chao's face was a little pale, the mysterious female voice sounded again.
"You step back, I'm going to attack the seal!"
After Jiang Chao heard this, he quickly took a few steps back.
The bronze coffin shook once more, this time violently.
Jiang Chao only felt the surrounding air flow continuously flowing towards the bronze coffin.
When the air current had gathered within the bronze coffin, an enormous and difficult to add aura once again burst forth from the bronze coffin.
BOOM!
The bronze coffin seemed to be unable to bear this enormous aura any longer, and it shattered into pieces!
As the bronze coffin burst open, the crystal coffin that seemed to be made of mercury was revealed from within.
At this moment, the crystal coffin was filled with cracks, and the inside of the crystal coffin was completely white. Even Jiang Chao was unable to see clearly what was inside.
"Break!" A fierce shout came from inside the crystal coffin.
The crystal coffin immediately ruptured. At the same time, the white light inside the crystal coffin gradually shrunk and turned into nine tails. The entire body was snow-white, but the body of the fox marten was in the middle of the darkness.
Why was it a fox, the corpse of a woman in a crystal coffin?
Jiang Chao was surprised.
And this Nine-tailed White Fox had blue eyes.
It looked at Jiang Chao with its dense eyes, and then pounced towards Jiang Chao.
Seeing that, Jiang Chao was shocked, he anxiously used his arm to block, but the Nine-tailed Fox used one of its tails to swipe at Jiang Chao's wrist, releasing an extremely cold aura, causing the wound on Jiang Chao's wrist to immediately stop bleeding.
As for the Nine-tailed Fox, its tail swept towards Jiang Chao's head once again, causing him to feel a splitting headache.
But right after that, a set of technique appeared in Jiang Chao's mind.
"Nine Suns True Spell?" Jiang Chao was slightly shocked.
"The Nine Yang Mantra is an extremely positive cultivation method. Cultivating this technique will not only extend one's lifespan, but it will also give one many abilities that ordinary people cannot possess. However, there is one flaw that I have explained to you in advance." The Nine-tailed Demon Fox said.
"What flaws?" This Nine Tailed Fox used its skills the moment it appeared. In Jiang Chao's shock, he somewhat believed its words.
"Before the Jindan is formed, if you break the boy's body, your Yuan Yang will be able to escape from your body and will explode. This ancestor will advise you to not lose your life because of this little brat."
After pausing for a moment, the Nine Tailed Demon Fox then continued, "Regarding cultivation, if I have time, I will naturally remind you of one or two things. While this ancestor has yet to find the body, I will temporarily stay by your side. After the Nine Tailed Demon Fox said this, its body emitted a dazzling luster.
When Jiang Chao opened his eyes once again, in his hands was an exquisite nine-tailed fox jade pendant that was the size of a normal pendant. Although this pendant was small, it was extremely lifelike.
When they were returning to the Ha City from Jiamu Si, Qiu Ning asked puzzledly why there was a blank section of the monitoring system for the morgue last night.
And why did the bronze coffin fall apart and the corpse of the woman lying inside it disappear without a trace?
Facing Qiu Ning's questions, Jiang Chao stammered as he explained that he was cold to the point of fainting. He did not know what happened afterwards either.
