"I really haven't paid much attention to that!"

Situ Yan was startled by Jiang Feng's words, then smiled bitterly, "The security guard just mentioned it as well. The nature of this profession is highly transient; they often work in one place and move on, and because of their special identity, it directly results in a high occurrence of murders with a very low solve rate..."

Jiang Feng nodded, indicating he understood.

In fact, it's understandable; those girls engage in the flesh trade, certainly not in their hometown but far away, so they don't have to worry about being discovered by family or friends.

In other words, those working as sex workers in Binhai are basically outsiders, often even using fake names, so when they are murdered, their families don't know and can't report it, making it very difficult for the action department's investigation work.

The owner of the Zunxiang Club must have recognized this point, which is why they specifically targeted sex workers.

But no matter what, these women are still human. To treat human life so callously is utterly heinous!

The two of them then continued along the steep stone staircase all the way to the bottom.

Suddenly, the view opened up!

Who knows when this place was excavated, but there was a basement about the size of a basketball court, airtight and lightless, filled with yin energy, blood energy, and corpse qi, with long-burning lamps hanging from the walls.

In this basement, there were all kinds of coffins arranged!

These coffins were placed in a special arrangement, and in the center of them was an ancient well!

In the gaps, there were also many red ropes stretched, with many small black flags inserted, and brass bells tied onto the red ropes.

Jiang Feng, though not understanding much about Feng Shui and the Gu Technique, could see at a glance that these coffins were arranged in the shape of a certain array, and that ancient well was precisely the array's focal point!

At this moment, the walking corpses that descended from above were all lining up obediently, walking to the ancient well, then opening their large mouths to spew into the well.

Puff~~ puff~~ puff~~ puff~~~

One mouthful of foul-smelling qi was expelled from the mouths of the walking corpses and fell into the ancient well.

From within the well came a gurgling sound, akin to water boiling.

Jiang Feng whispered quietly to Situ Yan, "Now, I finally understand the real purpose of Zunxiang Club using female corpses to serve men!"

"They are actually collecting the human breath and yang energy absorbed from the guests, turning it into impure energy, and spitting it into the ancient well! There must be something reared inside that well!"

"It might even be possible that the entire establishment of the Zunxiang Club was originally intended to serve what's in that well!"

Situ Yan was shocked upon hearing this!

The entire operation of the club was all to serve the thing in the well?

The owner of the Zunxiang Club must have expended an immense amount of effort!

The Zunxiang Club has been established in Binhai for several years now. Has this conspiracy been ongoing here under the radar all these years?!

"Jiang Feng..."

Just as Situ Yan was about to say something, Jiang Feng quickly reached out to shush her with his finger.

Then, he pointed to the well. Every walking corpse that finished expelling yang energy obediently walked to the coffins and crawled inside, covering themselves with the coffin lids.

The scene was highly automated, exceptionally well-trained and disciplined.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the impure energy was injected, a crimson liquid began boiling within the ancient well, with bubbles rising and bursting open.

It was blood!

Blood boiling incessantly like water on a stove!

Jiang Feng became even more certain that there was something hidden in the well, for even from such a distance, he could sense the vicious aura from within!

Before long, all the walking corpses had spewed their impure energy into the ancient well, then one by one, climbed into the coffins and closed the lids.

The basement suddenly fell silent, like a peaceful graveyard.

Only that ancient well continued to emit a gurgling sound akin to boiling water, extremely unnerving.

"Alright, all the corpses are 'resting', let's go have a look."

Jiang Feng somewhat admired the club owner's methods, "training" these walking corpses to work like living people, quite an idea.

Situ Yan was still in a state of fright, not daring to speak, and had to follow Jiang Feng, step by step, towards the eerie ancient well.

As they walked, nearing the well, suddenly—

Situ Yan accidentally tripped over a red rope.

Jingle~ jingle jingle~~ jingle jingle~~~~~~

The brass bell tied to the red rope abruptly rang!

It was truly a case of pulling one strand and the whole body moves; one bell rang, triggering others, and with the swaying of the red ropes, they too started to jingle continuously.

In an instant, the entire basement was filled with the incessant ringing of the bells!

Situ Yan, startled and afraid, couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh no, I think I stepped on something, didn't notice what was under my foot..."

Before Jiang Feng could say anything, the next moment—

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

The dense array of coffins resounded with loud bangs, and then each coffin's lid flew off, with a ghastly pale, sinister hand extending from each!

Then, one by one, the walking corpses crawled out from their coffins!

"You woke them up." Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly, his expression somewhat amused.

Situ Yan's face turned white with fear, immensely regretting her rashness, feeling utterly helpless.

In the blink of an eye, all the walking corpses in the coffins had climbed out!

Jiang Feng and Situ Yan happened to be in the midst of their encirclement. From up close, they could see clearly that these walking corpses were covered in corpse spots, some had been dead for unknown years, emitting a foul-smelling odor of corpse qi, with foul corpse water dripping from their mouths.

Yet their eyes looked like those of enraged wolves!

Jiang Feng estimated, the number of walking corpses was over a hundred!

If it had been ordinary people surrounded like this, it would generally mean despair, undoubtedly certain death!

This scene also made Situ Yan feel as if she had stepped into the set of a zombie movie!

"Jiang... Jiang Feng! Let's hurry and go... there are too many... the number of walking corpses... it's overwhelming..."

She instinctively clung to Jiang Feng's arm, her entire body pressed tightly against him, her face filled with fear, legs trembling.

"Run? I'm afraid it's too late now."

Jiang Feng chuckled, turning to look back, only to find more walking corpses directly blocking their escape. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

These walking corpses, catching the scent of living humans, were pressing in gloomily toward Jiang Feng and Situ Yan.

Each one sinister and terrifying, seemingly intent on tearing apart the culprits who had disturbed their "sweet dreams"!
