Chapter 363: Lift His Head

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Lift His Head

Chiyoda Hospital morgue, six corpses were arranged in a row, each covered with a white cloth with no markings on them. They lay here quietly.

Possibly because of previous mental preparation, or perhaps due to Ariel Higgins’s experiences with many storms, she calmly lifted a white cloth to reveal a head.

Although Yusuf Zuck had killed many, at that moment, he felt somewhat afraid. He felt his courage faltered compared to Ariel Higgins’s, for he dreaded facing this scene.

As soon as he saw the first corpse, he recognized someone, Otis Quinn, who had died a horrific death: half of his head was shorn off by a sharp knife, and at this moment, his brain had not been sutured; it was only superficially washed and patched together, his face still stained with dried blood.

Yusuf Zuck closed his eyes for a moment, clenching his fists tightly.

"His name was Otis Quinn. You know him," Ariel Higgins gently touched Otis Quinn’s cold and bloodless cheek and slowly said, "Otis Quinn, it’s time to go home. I’ve come to take you home."

Tears silently fell as Ariel Higgins struggled not to cry aloud.

The second person was also somewhat familiar to Yusuf Zuck, seemingly one of the men who had rushed into the Japanese restaurant with an oil drum that night.

"His name was Sanpao. I called him Brother San! Brother San, it’s time to go home. I’ve come to pick you all up."

The third... the fourth... the fifth... until the sixth, Ariel Higgins was trembling non-stop. She had no strength left, and also felt scared, scared to unveil the last one.

"Brother... Brother Dao," she gently lifted the white cloth.

However, as she lifted the white cloth, a bizarre scene took place: the white cloth was removed, and suddenly a head, like a blood gourd, fell off the icy morgue slab and rolled on the floor.

The police on guard at the hospital, as well as the Japanese lawyer and Spencer Reeves standing by the door, were all so frightened they nearly collapsed to the ground.

Yusuf Zuck’s body also began to shake. He wasn’t scared, but seeing the head that looked like blood, he couldn’t control himself anymore.

The rolling head still had its eyes open, wide open. It seemed to be staring at itself, watching everything in front of it!

"Brother Dao~" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes reddened, and he immediately knelt on one knee, then knelt on both, gently cradling the head!

Indeed, Yusuf Zuck paid his respects with this act of kneeling, lifting the head that had passed without closure.

For the first time in his life, he showed such respect to someone, a man whom he admired greatly, a man who evoked in him endless respect! So when lifting his head, he had to kneel!

Ariel Higgins was drained. She blankly watched as Yusuf Zuck held up the head, her whole body convulsing. She couldn’t breathe, and she was feeling faint.

"Lucy Clayton, Brother Dao, I’ve brought you home. Close your eyes!" As Yusuf Zuck gently brushed across Lucy Clayton’s face, Lucy Clayton’s eyes promptly closed.

Yusuf Zuck placed the head back on the morgue slab, aligning it with the body, and wiped his tears fiercely, stood up and shouted, "Spencer Reeves, get me the best morticians, makeup artists; I want to stitch their bodies. No matter the cost, do it now!"

"Mr. Zuck, we can’t do that!" Spencer Reeves said with a pained expression, "Someone has already put the word out, so no one dares to tend to their appearances."

Hearing Spencer Reeves’s words, Yusuf Zuck whirled around, his eyes as sharp as those of a murderer, piercing Spencer Reeves with a glance.

And Spencer Reeves shuddered in response.

"If you can’t find someone, then buy me needles and thread, cosmetics; I’ll do it myself!"

"Yes, yes, I’ll do it right away," Spencer Reeves immediately ran off.

At that moment, Ariel Higgins suddenly laughed, then leaned over Lucy Clayton’s bedside, gently touching and kissing him.

Indeed, she wasn’t afraid of anything; not afraid of his death, not afraid of his dirtiness.

"I couldn’t watch you so closely while alive, but now, I’ve finally caught the opportunity, haven’t I? You say you won’t be with me, you say you’re not worthy of me, you say you don’t want to spoil me, you have a thousand and one reasons to refuse me, but you’ve already taken root in my heart. You have become my shadow, inescapable, appearing the moment I close my eyes, Lucy Clayton, how can you be so silly, to not eat the sweet grapes that are offered..."

"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes..." Spencer Reeves went quickly and returned just as swiftly; it seemed to take less than five minutes before he was back, carrying a small bag in his hand.

"They sell it at the hospital." Spencer Reeves didn’t dare to come in, standing only at the door, because it was really too frightening inside!

"Thank you, I’ll give you the money later!" Yusuf Zuck took the bag and said.

"No need, no need." Spencer Reeves waved his hand repeatedly. It wasn’t much money, so it wasn’t necessary to pay him back.

Yusuf Zuck walked up to Ariel Higgins and asked after some thought, "Do you want to do it, or should I?"

"I’ll do it." Ariel Higgins took the bag and rummaged inside for a needle and thread.

Yusuf Zuck also took out a needle and thread, then went over to Otis Quinn to carry out a simple suture.

Although the person was dead, there must be a semblance of completion.

Yusuf Zuck sewed quickly; by the time five stitches were done, Ariel Higgins was still carefully stitching up Lucy Clayton.

Yusuf Zuck wasn’t in a hurry, quietly stepping outside, while outside, a lawyer and the mortuary guard were talking about something in Japanese, which he couldn’t understand.

"What are they saying?" Yusuf Zuck asked in a low voice.

"About the six of them." Spencer Reeves whispered, "The six of them killed over twenty Japanese people."

"Good job!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. Lucy Clayton’s death was worthy; when he returned home, he would erect monuments for them!

Ariel Higgins came out of the mortuary after a full hour, and upon exiting, she was empty-handed. Her tears dry, her heart scarred, Yusuf Zuck even saw a desperate deathly aura on her.

"Ariel, wait a moment, I want to speak to you alone," Yusuf Zuck didn’t want anything to happen to Ariel, a woman of such deep feelings, so after some thought, he suddenly made a decision.

"What is it?" Ariel Higgins stopped and asked.

"Spencer, you go downstairs with the lawyer first," Yusuf Zuck said, looking at Spencer Reeves.

"Sure, sure, sure." Spencer Reeves was the kind of professional tour guide and interpreter who only took money and asked no questions.

"Let’s split up. You handle the relevant procedures here, then cremate them, and bring back their ashes! Today, I must go to that address!"

"I want to go too!" Ariel Higgins said gravely.

"I know!" Yusuf Zuck nodded, "I know you want to see vengeance done, but if you follow me, then who will take care of their bodies? Who will bring back their ashes, their souls?"

"So, I can get into trouble, but you cannot; I can go kill, but you should not be involved. What you need to do now is handle the procedures, cremate the bodies, and bring back the ashes!" Yusuf Zuck intended to send her back to the country, giving her this task, also not wanting her to seek a premature end.

As long as one has hope, desire, and responsibility, one can live better. Without hope, desire, or responsibility, what’s the point of living?

Yusuf Zuck was giving her responsibility and hope now, so she could forget her own sorrow amidst the busyness.

"I understand what to do now, thank you." Ariel Higgins was an intelligent woman; how could she not guess Yusuf Zuck’s intentions? So once again, she bowed to Yusuf Zuck and even gave him a smile.

"You... you also have to live. I won’t seek an end. I’ll listen to his words and work for you in the future, so if you die, I won’t be able to serve you anymore. Promise me, you’ll live and return to the country!" Ariel looked sincerely into Yusuf Zuck’s eyes and said.

"I will. Take care, see you back home," Yusuf Zuck bowed gently to Ariel, then turned and left.
