"Be careful. Don't cause trouble." Xie Dading gave Han Li a warning.
As long as the Corpse Burning Chambers had enough hands, bodies belonging to the City Guard would never be assigned to temporary workers. Only because today's numbers had exceeded their capacity had some been handed out to the temps.
In short, special circumstances called for special measures.
"Understood." Qin He nodded, then dragged the corpse back to his Corpse Burning Chamber.
Xie Dading's brows furrowed, and he turned to leave.

But Qin He did not want to burn the corpse without knowing what was going on. Something was strange about it.
As he lifted the lid, a completely pitch-black eye appeared before him.
There was no white, only a black pupil.

"Hiss! Hiss!"
Just as Qin He was about to let go, the corpse's other eye... suddenly opened.
The next instant, endless deathly aura spewed from the corpse's mouth, transforming into a venomous python that opened its jaws and lunged viciously at Qin
