Terrifying! The True Identity of the Woman in White

Liu Chang'an looked at the white bones left on the ground. A normal human had between 204 and 305 bones, but this water monkey's skeletal structure was clearly very different from that of an ordinary human.

At a glance, it had only 140 bones. The water monkey lacked many ribs; the two ribs in front of its chest were like a breastplate, tightly protecting its internal organs, while its spine was one continuous strip of cartilage.

Having lost its vitality, that cartilage had become stiff and brittle, as though an ordinary squeeze would turn it to ash.

"Pack up these bones and courier them to Room 2207, No. 11, Datun Road, Anwai, Chaoyang East District, the capital. Write 'Water Monkey, Request for Appraisal' in the remarks," Liu Chang'an said to Li Hongfang.

He would naturally have been interested in studying a live water monkey.

But if it was only bones, they did not have as much research value as dinosaur fossils.

The bones before him really did resemble fossils. They lacked the feeling of fresh bones altogether, looking more like bone models simply made from lime.

Shangguan Dandan was truly excessive. She had genuinely
