Chapter 20: Weapons

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"People have died again!

"This time, four forensic doctors have died!"

Sun Yushu sounded hopeless over the phone. His voice trembled. It was obvious that he had faced a huge shock. 

"Chief Zheng was dismembered alive in his own bathtub!

"Old Lin also died and his body was broken into two halves!

"Sister Wong died on the operating table. She was cruelly dissected like a corpse, and all her organs were missing!

"Zhou Jiantong…died inside his daughter's kindergarten!"

Sun Yushu was terrified. His voice was hoarse and trembling over the phone. 

"They're still here!

"They're coming for us!

"Why! Why! We didn't kill them, we've been trying to find out their causes of death, we've been the ones trying our best to find their killer and give them justice! Why must they murder the innocent!"

Fang Zheng understood the gist of the situation after that. 

According to the victims' post-mortems, they all died between late last night and this evening. 

The four victims, together with Sun Yushu and Liang Jianan who had died the night before, were all forensic doctors put on the case of Tongjiang Bridge. 

Sun Yushu was the only survivor after being met with a horror incident. 

"What is your boss saying after so many forensic doctors lost their lives?" Fang Zheng asked the key question. 

Sun Yushu had calmed down by now. "Just… Just now, there were soldiers in the hospital who took all corpses of the Tongjiang Bridge incident."

"Right after the soldiers left, there was another group of people who did not look like they were from the military. These people came and start... started asking about our wellbeing, whether we have been experiencing anything peculiar, I did not say anything about you or Zheng Mei, just like we had agreed before."

According to Sun Yushu, the second group of people sounded as if they had plans to move into Sun Yushu's unit. 

On top of that, every forensic doctor who had participated in the Tongjiang Bridge case was ordered to live in the provided accommodation due to safety concerns. 

Fang Zheng felt refreshed. 

After ending the call, Fang Zheng rushed back to his housing area. 

There was nothing interesting at the People's Hospital after waiting for a whole day. It would be a waste of time to continue waiting. 

Sun Yushu's problem made Fang Zheng feel more pressured than ever. 

He had to prepare himself to face the unpredictable future. 

Meanwhile, regarding Sun Yushu's safety, since it had already garnered the attention of the Special Agency, Sun Yushu should be safer than he was now. 

Meanwhile, to avoid detection, Fang Zheng told Sun Yushu to not contact him unless necessary. He did not want to be under the radar of government agencies. 

In this day and age, developing one's self was the way to go. 

At the same time, Fang Zheng also got Sun Yushu to be his source for internal information. 

If there was any new development, he should immediately get in contact with Fang Zheng. 

After filling up the bike with petrol and returning it to Captain Liu, Fang Zheng returned to his place and shut all doors and windows. 

He then pulled out the human skin-made scripture from his jacket. 

So it was true! 

Two parts of the runes on the human skin-made scripture lit up. 

Fang Zheng was excited beyond belief. He rubbed his palms; this was the first time he had gotten two parts of the runes lighting up at the same time. 

At this moment. 

Fang Zheng held the human skin-made scripture in one hand, and the fake copy of Golden Immunity Shield in the other. 

This morning, Fang Zheng tried looking for the conman who had passed him the three fake copies of martial arts books. Fang Zheng wanted to pay him for the books and find out if he had other fake copies, but he could not find the conman. 

Could he be a conman who moved areas to target different people?

Or could it be that he was just not in the area today?

The Golden Immunity Shield was a Yang-type martial art and the most important skill in The 72 Hard Skills. It was said to be a creation of Bodhidharma.

There was a saying that pure strength cannot defeat the fist, and the first cannot defeat the art; it meant that a person with pure strength was no match for someone who knew how to use his fists, while someone who knew how to use his fists was no match for someone who was a practitioner of martial arts. The 'art' referred to in this saying was the Golden Immunity Shield. 

But! 

This was a fake copy of the book! Fake! Fake! 

It evolved without hesitation! 

A familiar scene happened. The fake copy of the book transformed, and the words, paragraphs, and illustrations in the book came alive. This was a magical evolution from nothing. 

The Golden Immunity Shield transformed into The Maha Golden Immunity Shield! 

This was a strong defence skill—just like its name 'Maha'. When one completes training for it, a Golden Bell will shield his entire body—he will seem as shiny as the sun. 

In short, it was of the same nature as The Golden Immune Arhat and The Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal. All of their introductions were peculiar. 

After that…

Within half an hour, Fang Zheng's skin was glowing in gold. It was as if there was a thin layer of shield on his body, it was strong. 

"So I finished training for yet another skill?"

Fang Zheng was happy. 

According to the introduction of The Maha Golden Immunity Shield, this defense skill had twelve levels to it. 

Every time a level was achieved, there would be one extra layer of shield on his skin. 

When one completed all twelve levels, the twelve layers on his skin would turn into the Golden Bell shielding his entire body. 

He had completed training for yet another skill within a short period of time. 

He finally mastered all attack, defense, and practicing skills. 

He finally had the basics of protecting himself in this terrifying world. 

At the very least, if he met the knife-wielding Zheng Mei again, or if he met anyone with a weapon in a battle, he had a few skills to hold them off. 

Meanwhile, regarding the first layer of shield from The Maha Golden Immunity Shield...

Hm.

He had yet to find a suitable time to test it out. 

Before that, Fang Zheng realized that he was lacking a weapon of his own. 

At the very least, if he had his own weapon, he would not have been holding himself back in the situation when he met Zheng Mei last night with no defense skills in mind. 

Nonetheless, every living person had his own fear of handling sharp items. 

This was a normal fear of death that had spanned across thousands of years. 

As there was only one part of the runes on the human skin-made scripture left lit up, Fang Zheng decided to leave the opportunity for evolution to get a weapon. 

He wanted to try to evolve a weapon…

He had always been evolving fake copies of books but he did not know if he could do the same with weapons. 

'It should…work, shouldn't it?'

Even the Liuwei Dihuang teapills were evolved into Eight Kidney-Liuwei Dihuang pills. That had led to him being unable to find out what had happened to his body. 

[Asking for the bosses of the chat group. Does anyone know of any weapon that can eliminate the evil? I'm looking for the ones that can kill ghosts and hold off evil.]

Fang Zheng opened his chat group among classmates.
