Lord Shenxiu

Chapter 627: Research (Complementary update for monthly pass)


"Good morning, Mr. Gui..."

Chu He didn't know when he had appeared behind Zhong Shenxiu.

"This batch of newcomers seems quite promising... Their future performance will definitely be good..." Zhong Shenxiu appraised.

"Although I also have high hopes for those three, I didn't expect you, Mr. Gui, to rate them so highly..."

Chu He was slightly surprised and then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I must apologize, I was too conceited before... For us, what's most important is not the annual meeting, but surviving the upcoming team-building sessions and even routine work..."

"Indeed. For ordinary people, the horror level of any supernatural being is actually the same; encountering one means death..."

Zhong Shenxiu shrugged his shoulders: "Based on my guess, the annual meeting task involves no escape, the only chance lies in stalling—after all, when you encounter a black bear, you only need to run faster than your teammates..."

"You seem to be in a very good mood today!"

Chu He was somewhat astonished.

He felt that the current Gui Yi completely treated the world as a playground, adopting a game-like mentality.

And he didn't care much about external affairs; it was rare for him to talk so much today.

"While in arduous cultivation, one must find some amusement..."

Zhong Shenxiu wouldn't admit that practicing the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill was extremely tedious, and he was planning to study the supernatural creatures of this world.

"Hmm, I want some research materials, such as—'supernatural beings,' but I'm too lazy to go out... Can you bring me one next time?"

He wickedly transformed into a quest-giving old man.

"Bring a supernatural being for research?"

Chu He pushed at his glasses, feeling a sudden chill in his heart.

For company employees, encountering supernatural beings meant death.

The only method was the same as the previous Han Bingjie incident, using oneself as bait to lure the enemy into the company premises!

"It will require the right task, timing, and person; I will keep an eye out for the opportunity."

Chu He readily agreed, offering no objections.

To a clever person, no further explanation was necessary.

"I feel that these three newcomers will bring me surprises!"

Zhong Shenxiu hinted meaningfully.

...

Half a month later.

One evening.

Most of the 13th-floor employees had gathered in the lobby on the first floor, some with pale faces and others with traces of excitement.

"Don't worry, Yue Shan will be alright, Chu He's earlier calculations show that he still has time!"

Murong Hong comforted Yue Qin.

Zhong Shenxiu also uncharacteristically put down his newspaper, sitting quietly and waiting.

Suddenly, the harsh sound of tires screeching against the pavement came from outside.

"Quick!"

The shriek of Han Bingjie was heard.

He, along with Yue Shan and Wu Qi, forcibly pushed a trolley, delivering a black coffin into the building.

Seeing this scene, Chu He and the others involuntarily shuddered.

The black coffin's surface was already cracked extensively, with drops of fresh blood continuously seeping out.

Undoubtedly, it contained a supernatural being!

Their recent task involved delivering a package to a Spirit Hall.

And the supernatural being was a corpse hidden inside the coffin!

Based on the logic Chu He and the others had developed, the way to survive was to keep the body securely inside the coffin, which would keep the supernatural being calm until the task ended!

As time passed, the supernatural being inside the coffin would become increasingly restless.

At this point, one should flee the scene and return to the building.

But Chu He thought this was a godsend opportunity, to survive in the company meant having to take crazy risks, gamboling on the very brink of death!

Therefore, he instructed the three of them to bring back the coffin along with Gui Yi!

This was undoubtedly a gamble with their lives!

Especially now, the black coffin was clearly close to losing its effect, with decaying cracks continuously emerging.

"Chu He… should we run away?"

One of the employees was already trembling.

The creature inside the coffin could potentially erupt in violence at any moment!

If it weren't for the figure in the security uniform always at the forefront, perhaps they would have run away by now.

"Well done, commendable courage."

Zhong Shenxiu watched this scene and nodded, "Leave the rest to me!"

No sooner had he spoken than the lid of the black coffin burst open with a loud bang, revealing a gap.

A pale, ashen hand slowly extended from the darkness.

—Gui Yi!

All the employees present felt a chill down to their bones, almost suffocating.

Zhong Shenxiu grabbed a large black umbrella and, using it like a hammer, gave it a "duang" and struck down.

The black hand quickly retracted, and after some time, a hand cautiously reached out again.

Zhong Shenxiu, quick to react, struck again with the umbrella.

Crack!

The coffin lid slammed shut as if someone inside had sealed it tightly, and all the blood drips and cracks disappeared without a trace.

The hall fell into eerie silence, everyone looked at each other with the equally silent coffin in their sight…

"Brother Gui, I think it probably doesn't want to come out anymore…"

Han Bingjie stammered.

"If it dares to come out again, I'll knock its head crooked!"

"Thank you all, I'll take it from here."

Zhong Shenxiu pushed a cart, placing the coffin inside the security room and closed the door.

Chu He, following behind, touched his nose, feeling almost like he had nearly run into the door.

"We'll come again tomorrow!"

He turned around and said expressionlessly to everyone, "Also... Yue Shan, Han Bingjie, Wu Qi… you three did very well, taking the biggest risks. According to our agreement, if there are any benefits, you have priority!"

Inside the security room.

Zhong Shenxiu specifically set up a laboratory to store the coffin.

"Gui Yi!"

Holding the large black umbrella, he murmured, "I hope the research on it will bring some convenience to my cultivation of the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill…"

His main purpose in this world had always remained unchanged—it was the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill!

Nothing else mattered!

Zhong Shenxiu, with a calm expression, forced the tip of the large black umbrella into the gap of the coffin and forcefully pried open the lid…

Horrifying sounds emanated from within the room…

Half an hour later.

He looked at a pile of components in front of him, his expression turning slightly strange. "Just as I suspected, the undying 'Gui Yi,' though manifesting differently… still shares similarities with the God Monster World. Both originate from the highest contamination! This indestructible trait, perhaps it's another form of divinity?"

"They… are also part of a supreme being's clan, just in different forms…"

"Ordinary people have difficulty harnessing this uniqueness… the disparity in levels is too great. It seems a law can be inferred from here… only Gui Yi can contend with Gui Yi?"

Zhong Shenxiu's expression became somewhat dreamy.

As he delved deeper into his research, he felt, almost like an illusion, that his Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill had slightly advanced!

This quickly brought him to a terrifying conjecture.

"The waters of this world… are probably very deep, definitely not as simple as what appears on the surface…"
