Chapter 843: Chapter 843 Confrontation in the Forbidden Area of Shengshi Academy, Someone Steals Vitality

Changyuan’s eyes were as impenetrable as a cold, bottomless pond. He said nothing, but his expression clearly questioned Qin Ruan, asking why she was stopping him.

Qin Ruan rushed over, stood in front of Jin Ling’s body, and met Changyuan’s forceful, inquisitive gaze.

Her voice, tinged with anger and stripped of its usual indifference, was icy cold: "Jin Ling disappeared right after leaving the Criminal Investigation Bureau. By destroying her body this way, you’re causing trouble for your master!

It’s a society of law now. Once Jin Ling’s fate is unknown, the first suspect everyone will think of is Xia Yunchen! Even if it wasn’t him, everyone will believe it was!"

Changyuan repressed the flicker of danger in his eyes, knowing that Qin Ruan had his master’s interests at heart.

He furrowed his brow, his face full of resistance: "I don’t want to possess this body any longer, it reeks too much!"

The body of the dead was causing him great discomfort.

Having him continue to inhabit this body was worse than killing him!

Qin Ruan’s breathing halted for a moment. Looking at his face full of rejection, her voice softened considerably: "You might as well find a reasonable way to dispose of her body and let everyone know that her death has nothing to do with Xia Yunchen."

Changyuan, in a rare moment of humility, asked for advice: "How should she die?" agitation seeping into his words.

Qin Ruan looked down at the body at her feet, knowing that in a few hours, livor mortis would set in. If a forensic pathologist got involved, the time of her death would inevitably be deduced.

Her red lips slightly parted, her voice clear and cold: "There are many ways to die accidentally. It depends on how you handle it, but it’s best to make sure her body isn’t too intact. You must act quickly. Otherwise, the body will start to decay."

Changyuan knitted his brows, his red eyes dimming then calming: "Understood."

He took possession of Jin Ling’s body once again and said to Qin Ruan: "I’ll make sure she’s dead beyond recognition!"

"Do as you please!"

Seeing that he took her advice, Qin Ruan turned and left, hurrying away.

She had other matters to attend to and couldn’t afford to linger here and waste time.

Changyuan watched Qin Ruan’s retreating figure before vanishing on the spot.

...

That evening at nine o’clock, a severe traffic accident occurred on a highway in Capital City, resulting in one death and two injuries.

When the traffic police arrived at the scene, it was a gruesome sight, the dead body completely obliterated.

The asphalt was covered in bloodstains and gory fragments of flesh and bone, causing revulsion at the sight.

The accident involved a food transport truck. The two drivers were in shock from the sudden crash, both sustaining minor injuries. Their speech was erratic and incoherent when questioned by the police, seemingly on the verge of mental collapse.

The surveillance footage from that section of the road was reviewed to identify the deceased and the cause of the accident.

The victim was Jin Ling, a female celebrity who had been trending on search engines these past couple of days.

The cause of the accident was Jin Ling’s sudden appearance in the middle of the highway.

The speeding truck had no time to brake, crushing her body and dragging it for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

The scene of the accident was bloody and horrifying; even the seasoned traffic officers were sweating profusely in the face of the shocking sight.

Jin Ling had indeed been reduced to bits and pieces, surrounded by a police cordon on the road, her body fragments strewn about, the largest no bigger than the size of a thumb.

There were many inconsistencies in this bizarre accident; even with a heavy load, the truck could not possibly reduce a body to such a horrific state.

The surveillance video contained nothing untoward; Jin Ling had indeed been destroyed by the truck, and as to why the body was so evenly mangled, no one could explain this eerie event.

That night, the search engines exploded with news again.

The death of Jin Ling quieted many criticisms against her.

Some netizens tried to pin the blame on Xia Yunchen.

Despite Xia Yunchen, the acclaimed actor, still lying in a coma in the hospital, Jin Ling’s death had not long topped the trending searches when Xu Enhao promptly released a photo of Xia Yunchen in the hospital, and the team also sent legal notices to those who spread rumors.

The malicious start of slinging mud was fiercely suppressed.

...

At the same time as Jin Ling’s death, Qin Ruan arrived at Shengshi Academy.

Many of the students had already left the school, but there were also some who stayed behind.

Mostly, they faced important exams they dared not slack on, or were preparing for job-seeking, or worked to earn money and save on expenses, or were busy with significant research, amongst other reasons to stay at the school for the new year.

No matter what reason they had chosen to stay, they would all face danger in the time to come.

Qin Ruan had stepped into the academy in pursuit of Jin Ling’s spirit.

Jin Ling’s soul had not been taken away by the Underworld Envoys of the Netherworld. Following that thread of weak aura, Qin Ruan found her way to the forbidden area of Shengshi Academy.

The academy’s forbidden area was something that Qin Ruan had always wanted to investigate.

Previously, she was always stopped by the powerful oppressive force of this area and the chill that burst forth unhindered.

She would only take action if she was completely confident she could kill the evil spirits hiding here; otherwise, she would not act rashly.

This time, with Jin Ling’s soul hiding here, Qin Ruan could not consider too much, nor could she afford to do so.

Whenever there were unnatural events around her, they often had inextricable ties with the Witch Clan, which she could not ignore.

She even speculated whether the Witch Clan’s power was hidden in this forbidden area. Jin Ling could have fled anywhere but chose to come to the school’s forbidden area.

Every year, behind the dormitories where the new students reside, separated by a row of fake mountains behind the bungalows, lies the forbidden area of Shengshi Academy, which is surrounded by iron fences, topped with sharp diamond-shaped metal spikes to prevent climbing.

In the dark night, a slender figure lingered around the campus, wandering unconsciously towards the school’s forbidden area.

Qin Ruan stood in front of the welded-shut iron gate, feeling the eerie tranquility here.

In the vastness of the world, she could hear nothing but her own breathing.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, a mysterious and thrilling atmosphere enveloped the forbidden area.

Qin Ruan lowered her eyes to the shadow at her feet, tugged at her overcoat, and exhaled a puff of white breath.

She could feel it, the air growing colder as she approached the forbidden area.

The breath she exhaled did not linger slowly in the void; it was as if pulled by some controlling force, swiftly passing over the iron fences and streaming into a row of bungalows not far away.

Seeing this unusual scene, Qin Ruan’s eyebrows lifted slightly, her red lips curving into a devilishly arrogant smile.

This was getting interesting.

Someone dared to reach across the void and extract her faint vital energy.

She wondered what kind of powerful entity was hidden inside.

In such cold weather, she didn’t want to take her hands out of her pockets; Qin Ruan’s eyes, holding the glint of starlight, stared intently at the welded-shut iron gate, with golden light erupting from the depths of her eyes.

A sharp snap sounded.

The iron gate in front of her cracked open.

Qin Ruan lifted her foot, clad in short boots, and with a bit of force, casually kicked open the gate.

A cold, chilling wind swept through, messing up her long hair, with a strand obscuring her vision.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, which were filled with lurking danger, and absorbed the Dark Evil Energy that had been delivered to her.

In an instant, countless golden lights surged around her.
