Chapter 395 Visiting the Coffin Home in the Middle of the Night

Lin Mengya brushed off Qiu Yu’s claws on her forehead and spoke to him with a severe tone of voice.

“Of course I’m not ill. These men will not arrive at any consensus in their arguments. If White Dragon and Black Tiger directly denied the accusation, what can Dongfang Xu do? It goes without saying that we need evidence to catch the culprit. We need to prove that Dongfang Xu’s niece is indeed in the hands of White Dragon and Black Tiger. What do you think the men of Lieyun will do given their nature?”

Qiu Yu considered Lin Mengya’s words carefully and finally understood what she meant.

Qiu Yu’s eyes lit up. There was no denying how brilliant Lin Mengya was, to use others to achieve her goal.

“I get it now. You’re thinking of using the men from Lieyun to get rid of White Dragon and Black Tiger, this pair of troublesome brothers!”

Lin Mengya nodded. Of the people she met, be it Xin Li, Xiaoyu or Baisu, they were people who would repay kindness and evil accordingly.

If she eventually found proof that White Dragon and Black Tiger indeed abducted Dongfang Xu’s niece, the forces behind White Dragon and Black Tiger would suffer given that the people of Lieyun usually took a clear-cut position between love and hate.

Moreover, if Dongfang Xu was really a righteous man, Master Guo would not have taken a neutral position.

From the statement he made, he seemed to imply that only the people of the Lieyun Empire were humans, while that of the other nations were animals.

Lin Mengya felt that she would have done injustice to herself if she did not do a bad turn to him.

After she communicated with Qiu Yu, the two of them offered the waiter of the inn some loose silver and rode away on a horse.

Even though Lin Mengya was not used to sharing the horse, there was still room for improvement for her horse-riding skill.

The horse started galloping soon and they vanished into the night in no time.

They got further away from the town as they shuttle back and forth in the dark.

Lin Mengya crouched low on the back of the horse to minimize her physical contact with Qiu Yu.

She remembered she had shared riding on a horse with Long Tianyu the last time.

She rubbed her temple, puzzled that she suddenly thinking about that guy!

“The coffin home is not far from here now. If it is as you have guessed, I’d like to suppose that there will be people guarding the coffin home.”

Qiu Yu lowered his voice as he whispered into Lin Mengya’s ear.

The two got down from the horse cautiously and quietly followed the meandering path leading up to the coffin house.

It was common for each town to have a coffin house to store dead bodies temporarily and this town was no exception.

Soon, they spotted the hanging white paper lanterns flying in the wind.

Surrounded by darkness, there were no other audible sounds apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The door to the coffin home was so dark that it looked like the mouth of a monster, sending chills up their spine.

“How about you wait for here while I go in to have a look first?”

Even a man like Qiu Yu was starting to get the creeps, what more a lady like Lin Mengya. However, Lin Mengya did not appreciate and accept his kindness.

In fact, she had her gaze fixed on the door of the coffin home.

There was no hint of fear on her face.

A mixture of different feelings arose in Qiu Yu’s heart. Could this lass be called a woman?

“Strange, why isn’t there any movement?”

With curiosity, Lin Mengya craned her neck to see what was inside as she and Qiu Yu had been there for quite some time.

If there were people guarding this place, would there not be some movements by now?

However, there was not even a bug flying around. Could she have made a wrong guess?

At the critical moment, Lin Mengya finally remembered the Shen Nung system.

Because of the opening up of the second stage of the Shen Nung system, its scanning function was not restricted to the things surrounding her.

If she wished, she could switch on the super radar scanning function. Nevertheless, she could be placing a great burden on her brain by doing so.

Regardless, as long as she was able to detect the same kind of poison the men of Lieyun carried, it was sufficient proof that the missing girl was here.

By then, they only had to go back to the inn and find a way to inform Dongfang Xu.

Lin Mengya immediately closed her eyes and started to mobilize the super radar scanning.

A buzzing sound audible only to her instantly came on from her brain.

Waves of headaches started, but the pain was still within her threshold of tolerance.

Frowning deeply, she began to concentrate her attention on scanning the coffin home in front of her.

One meter, five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters...

As the area widened, her headache intensified.

Just when the pain almost reached the limit of her tolerance, finally she detected a weak signal.

The protective system in the Shen Nung system was activated at that instant and it cut off the process of scanning her surroundings immediately.

Darkness fell on Lin Mengya at that moment and she went paralyzed and fell into Qiu Yu’s arms.

“You... What’s happened?”

Qiu Yu was obviously taken aback when a soft and nice-smelling woman fell into his arms.

Before other thoughts came to him, he was shocked at the sight of Lin Mengya’s pale face, which was totally drained of its colors.

“I’m alright. I’m having a bit of a stomachache. I must have eaten too much today.”

Lin Mengya tried to appear as if nothing had happened. Usually mobilizing her exploring system was as normal as drinking water and eating.

However, it was wise not to use the super radar scanning function too often, because not only did it scan for poisonous substances, it also worked as detector and surveyor.

In just those few moments, the area within a radius of a half-mile around the coffin home had been scanned into her system so much so that a three dimensional model of the terrain had been saved into her brain.

Good heavens, if she gradually got used to this, this radar would be defying the natural order of things.

This was just a passing thought to Lin Mengya, because according to the introduction of the Shen Nung system, the super radar scanning function would only be running normally when it had progressed to its third stage.

At this moment, she could only use the most basic functions. Moreover, the price for her pay was beyond what she could bear.

“Are you feeling better? Let me prescribe you some digestive medicine when we get back. Don’t gobble down your food again, but chew your food properly and swallow it slowly.”

As Qiu Yu helped Lin Mengya get on her feet, Qiu Yu felt a little lost when he suddenly lost the warm touch.

Her body was frailer and softer than he imagined.

Despite his exposure to all kinds of beauties in the palace, Lin Mengya’s natural good looks without any makeup under the night sky remained distractingly attractive.

“Let’s go. Let’s go back.”

After Lin Mengya regained her composure and calm and the pain subsided, she had returned to normal.

Just now, she had detected the location where Dongfang Xu’s niece was.

She discovered that this coffin home, in fact, had a basement.

She supposed that the basement was used to store coffins and dead bodies.

It was there that the radar detected the same poison the men of Lieyun were carrying.

However, she also discovered something abnormal at the same time.

There were no living human beings moving about in the house!

Could Dongfang Xu’s niece have met with a tragic end already?

This did not make sense. White Dragon and Black Tiger were after money. Even if they had some personal feud, why did they need to go through the trouble of storing the girl’s dead body in the coffin home?

They could have found a place to bury her, or would it not be even more convenient to abandon her body in the woods?

Lin Mengya was unable to unlock this mystery for the time being.

“If we leave right now, we would have wasted this trip. Why don’t you wait here while I go in to have a look inside? I won’t take long.”

Qiu Yu thought Lin Mengya had wanted to go back to the inn because she was not feeling well.

Lin Mengya found it difficult to explain to Qiu Yu that she already knew what was inside the coffin home without entering it.

If Qiu Yu found out that she had used the radar scanning function to find out what was inside, he would not be prescribing the medicine for ingestion when they return to the inn.

“I have... I’ve made use of observation. Look, there is no sign of life in the surrounding. If there’s anyone alive here, they would need to rest, eat and use the toilet. Even if they are concerned about people being suspicious and try not to use the toilet, they would still make noises.”

While Lin Mengya was trying to convince Qiu Yu, she began to find it odd too.

She carefully observed everything in the vicinity of the coffin home. The thatched hut was run-down, the weed in the courtyard was overgrown and even the walls were broken at many places.

Would there really be people in such a run-down coffin home?

“Do you think there would be people placing their dead people in this pathetic-looking coffin home?”

Lin Mengya said with hesitation in her voice. Qiu Yu took another look and shook his head.

“The elders in the family always say that we should honor the deceased. I suppose no one would put their deceased loved ones here.”

That was right! In this case, why did she find, from the scanned image in her mind, many coffins in the basement of this coffin home?

Could people from the past just deposit their coffins here?

There were many question marks in Lin Mengya’s mind by now. She shuffled forward quietly. She had to go in to check it out tonight no matter what.

“Let’s go in together. Be careful. Perhaps we might find something out of our expectation.”

Compared to doing a scan of the place, it would be even better for her to have a look at the place personally, so they could be sure that there was no one alive in there. By now, she and Qiu Yu were bolder than when they first arrived.

While looking around the courtyard, Lin Mengya was making a mental preparation for herself.

This was just like the mortuary. When she was still studying in the school of medicine, she always secretly visited the mortuary alone during the hottest time during summer to cool down!

At this thought, she felt even bolder now.

Compared to dead bodies, which she was very familiar with, the bugs and small animals were even scarier to her.

Qiu Yu held on to Lin Mengya’s hand and realized that his hand was colder than hers.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya’s attention was focused on the coffin home and did not realize this embarrassing fact.

The floor of the coffin home was laid with green tiles, but they were badly broken by now. Qiu Yu held on to Lin Mengya lest she should trip over the broken tiles and fell.

They passed the courtyard and entered the main hall of the coffin home. Under the moonlight which shone into the hall now and then, the teeth of the statue of the king of hell appeared exceptionally frightening they gave the chills.
