"If I find out you left my side..."
Meng Jixi tapped the girl lightly on the forehead with a bent finger. "Don't expect me to agree to bring you along next time."
The girl covered her forehead, her expression turning serious.
"Mm."
But her eyes curved up slightly.
"Heh~"
Meng Jixi bared his teeth. "What's so exciting about seeing a corpse?"
"Don't go crying when you get scared."
Before Chi Xiuke could protest, he pushed open the door in front of them. "Let's go."
Li Wei's body lay on the dissection table.
Chi Xiuchuan walked beside Chi Xiuke, glancing at her from time to time.
Chi Xiuke didn't try to act tough. She reached out and grabbed the hem of her brother's shirt.
She also stayed half a step behind him.
She took a deep breath in silence, feeling her heart beat a little faster.
Meng Jixi stepped forward. "Master Xiao, this is Li Wei's body."
Xiao Xiao walked over to the dissection table.
A complete skeleton lay on the table.
Bright light shone down.
Every detail of the bones was visible.
Chi Xiuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stopped walking.
They were still some distance from the dissection table.
Chi Xiuke knew her brother was doing it for her.
This time, she didn't ask to go closer for a better look.
This distance was just right for her.
Her heart was still pounding from being in the unusual surroundings of the autopsy room.
She took a deep breath.
The air in here even seemed to smell different from outside.
It made it hard for her to breathe comfortably.
But she knew that was all in her head.
Xiao Xiao leaned closer to the skeleton.
"...Was it this clean to begin with?"
Meng Jixi froze.
Clean?
