Era of Magic and Martial Arts-Chapter 240 - 224: Death Notice of the Destiny Judgment

Chapter 240: Chapter 224: Death Notice of the Destiny Judgment

Qin Liang lowered his head, meticulously counting the bodies on the ground, identifying each one, and examining their injuries and causes of death.

Qin Liang’s autopsy skills were extremely professional. He initially intended to use them on Feng Mu, but unexpectedly, they were applied to the prisoners instead.

One, two, three, as he examined them consecutively, Qin Liang reconstructed the deaths of these bodies in his mind, which could only be described in one word—tragic.

Indeed, almost none of the bodies were intact. Each was missing some parts to varying degrees, especially one with a loose skeletal structure and twisted muscles, resembling an old cloth doll carefully stitched together by a skilled tailor.

The only relatively intact body was the one whose facial bones he was currently touching.

Based on Qin Liang’s judgment, this body should have been the last to die, having not suffered much pain before death. The expression on the face had not completely stiffened, retaining a liveliness, feeling somewhat soft and elastic to the touch.

Qin Liang was completely immersed in the world of autopsy, unable to recall the last time he had examined a body with such meticulous detail.

His palm gently caressed the cold and motionless bodies, and with each touch, the fear and unease within him slowly dissipated.

"Corpses are better after all. They are honest, silent, and can be cut open, revealing the bones and heart, unlike the living, who are adept at lying, skilled in acting, hiding their malice and deceit within a sophisticated package of flesh and blood."

Qin Liang’s fingers gently glided over every inch of the corpse’s skin as if he were caressing a long-lost lover, seemingly rediscovering his forensic fervor.

Just then, Tian Tao, with a face full of agitation and anger, hurriedly rushed in.

Before his figure fully appeared through the door, his thunderous roar preceded him, echoing through the corridor and the incinerator room.

"What’s going on? Why are all the prisoners dead in the incinerator room?"

Qin Liang glanced up at Tian Tao, whose eyes bulged with rage, face distorted like an angry bull, then peeked at Feng Mu, whose expression remained gentle and calm.

Suddenly, it struck him that some people, despite being alive and kicking, are no different from corpses—just a heap of flesh and bones, simple and transparent.

"If only the world were full of people like Tian Tao... alas..."

Inside, Qin Liang let out a long sigh, having a strong premonition that it wouldn’t be long before he’d personally dissect Tian Tao’s corpse.

The urge to retire grew even stronger within him as he withdrew his gaze, unwilling to partake in the living people’s intrigues, focusing solely on drafting the autopsy report.

He wrote slowly and meticulously.

...

As Qin Liang wrote, the deaths of nine prisoners slowly fell onto the paper.

Soon, this stack of autopsy reports would be stamped and submitted to the relevant departments of the Executive Government, removed from citizen registration, and processed for irreversible death.

Feng Mu, at first, ignored Tian Tao’s roar. He watched Qin Liang finish writing the autopsy report, subtly peeking at the sealed incinerator door.

Then he looked at Tian Tao, his expression visibly chilling, saying in a deep voice, "Captain, they attacked me suddenly, so I killed them. It’s that simple."

Tian Tao’s expression was hideous as he glared at Wang Cong. His thought process was simple: since Feng Mu was alive, a problem must have occurred at some stage.

There was no way he could be the problem.

The division leader couldn’t be the problem either.

The prisoners were all dead, so they couldn’t be the problem either.

Thus, the only possible problem person was Wang Cong, who betrayed them.

Tian Tao gritted his teeth, sneering, "Just that simple? They attacked you, there must be a reason, right?"

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, not expecting Tian Tao to ask such a foolish question. He squinted, his voice cooler than ever:

"Indeed, I’m also curious why they suddenly attacked me like madmen. I even seriously asked them, Captain Tian Tao, guess how they answered me?"

Tian Tao’s face stiffened, realizing he should not have asked such a stupid question in public.

The surrounding prison guards were indeed all on edge, their eyes darting between Feng Mu and Tian Tao, meticulously capturing every subtle change in their conversation.

They weren’t fools; they could easily discern the hostility and implications in Feng Mu’s tone.

Feng Mu intentionally played the gentle role before, and now was his time to show his fangs. Still, the deaths of a few inmates were not enough to shake the prison guard collective thoroughly.

He needed to sacrifice one or two significant lives to truly shock them.

Tian Tao was one of those chosen by Feng Mu.

Tian Tao stared intently at Feng Mu, disguising his inner fear with bravado: "How should I know?"

Feng Mu furrowed his brows slightly, pondering for a long time until the people around started looking anxious and restless. Only then did he slowly relax his tightly-knitted brows, loosening his tone with a chuckle:

"They wanted to speak, but I didn’t listen. I didn’t give them the opportunity to speak because, Captain, I feared they might frame you."

The heart that was in Tian Tao’s throat finally fell back into his stomach. He snorted coldly, trying to mask his internal panic, but his tone remained firm:

"Frame me? Why would they frame me? What does this have to do with me? Feng Mu, I warn you, you can’t spout nonsense."

Feng Mu’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a chilling glint shone through pinhole-thin gaps, his voice turning sinister and low:

"Captain seems displeased that I shut them up, so now I can only ask you to go down and ask them for me."

Tian Tao’s eyes widened, incredulously staring at Feng Mu, a storm ravaging internally: "Is he threatening me in public, has his anger blinded him?"

Feng Mu paid no mind to Tian Tao’s stunned rage, surveying the room’s astonished faces, satisfied that everyone understood his malicious intent underlying his words.

"Just kidding, Captain, don’t be too tense; it’ll prevent you from sleeping at night."

Feng Mu joked lightly, teasingly. The prison guards present might not grasp the jest entirely at that moment, but it made no difference.

Because when they awaken the next morning, they’ll collectively realize the truth.

Feng Mu wasn’t threatening Tian Tao, he was publicly delivering a death sentence...an indictment of destiny!!!
