Chapter 635: Chapter 389: From Today On, Becoming the Most Evil Villain (Part 3)

The Captain of the Guard painfully lifted his head and saw Brother Li rushing over anxiously. He recognized him as the leader of the Xiao Organization, arriving like a divine figure descending from the heavens.

At this moment, he couldn’t control himself, and tears and mucus streamed down together.

"Sir, sir, we successfully protected the young lady... Sir..." The Captain of the Guard found that all the words he prepared earlier were useless now. He just awkwardly moved his body to reveal the carriage behind him.

"You’re injured! Medical personnel, come quickly to treat him. Don’t worry, I’m here, you’re secure now, Xiao Organization is here, everyone’s safe."

"Hmm..." The Captain of the Guard nodded repeatedly, but he was unwilling to leave. He still hoped to see the young lady emerge unscathed. After all, they risked their lives to protect her; she must be fine, right?

"Creak!"

Brother Li opened the deformed and twisted door of the carriage, and a "corpse" rolled out from within, face full of terror, fingers stained with blood, and scratches twisted all over the inside of the carriage.

Brother Li: "..."

Faust: "..."

Susu: "..."

"Young lady!" The Captain of the Guard’s eyes were filled with shock. He desperately wanted to rise, but his injuries and fatigue nearly knocked him down.

"Rest assured, it’s fine, she just fainted from fright." Brother Li reassured the Captain of the Guard.

However, in the exchange within the Consciousness Space, Brother Li bluntly stated: "Can’t be saved, await death, farewell!"

"She’s somewhat dead, isn’t she?" Susu displayed a puzzled look while sizing up the "rival" prepared to marry Brother Li, noting her decent figure but finding her rigid corpse expression quite ugly.

"Not somewhat dead, probably brain-dead for six minutes or so, without noticeable external or internal injuries, most likely..." Brother Li checked using the Cursed Blood, "most likely scared herself to death..."

Faust: "..."

Susu: "..."

"After all, she’s a family’s young lady; how could she get scared to death?" Susu questioned in confusion.

"She might have thought she couldn’t escape, and the explosion erupted right beside the carriage. She was full of restraining rituals; likely fantasizing in her head if caught by gangsters, she panicked, frantically tried to open the door, but the explosion twisted it shut, dying from shock in that confined space..." As a medical student, Brother Li provided a professional diagnosis.

"Can any creature shock itself to death..." Susu continued to poke fun.

At this moment, the always taciturn Faust spoke: "With this young lady death in your alliance, would it affect your plan? Without her, your legal identity’s source to approach the main family of Alben isn’t feasible, is it?"

"Not necessarily, a ’half-dead noble young lady’ is actually the best." Brother Li began using Holy Light Healing while ensuring the corpse remained active with Cursed Blood.

Because it was shock-induced death, even though the young lady’s somewhat dead, her body retained some activity.

This is quite normal, just like organs can maintain activity for around 48 hours even separated from the body.

As for the whole person being dead, the brain lost activity, yet cells, organs, and other parts within her remain alive.

This sufficed for Brother Li; he could keep the semi-dead body as his tool while establishing a passionate persona.

Sigh, Brother Li with his stunning wisdom, placing the body in an ice casket and using it as leverage to become the sole heir of the Alben branch. He would visit the casket daily, expressing his longing, using the pretext of petitioning God to revive his beloved to get close to Mephisto.

He even thought of his final line: "Revive, my beloved."

Brother Li pondered the subsequent plan and said, "Everything’s fine, my wife isn’t dead, yet she seems in a coma, unsure when she’ll awake."

In fact, she had long been brain-dead, her heart stopped, but her physical form was forcibly maintained with the minimum vitality by Cursed Blood.

"That’s good news then..." The Captain of the Guard said with difficulty before finally fainting.

Brother Li planned to sustain the "corpse’s" vitality like this, carrying the ice casket to the main family of Alben when needed.

As long as he could contact Harley Alben, this corpse’s utility value was fulfilled.

Yet at this moment, Faust suddenly said: "The plan has issues; if real Alben family members check the corpse, they’ll understand the situation quickly. We might have come a bit late..."

"The ideal time was rescuing her during her responsive frenzy, which favored our interests."

"No choice, I merely possessed a twelve-year-old boy for now, lacking the strength to precisely control the timing, but the overall plan remains unaffected." Brother Li shrugged, holding the young Princess in his arms, and gently placed "her" onto the horse amidst the few Alben family guards’ gazes.

"Brother Li, could I temporarily use her body like you did this boy’s possession? I’ve heard it’s some Heart Stealer’s ability?" Susu suddenly asked.
