Someone was buried in the wall.
To be precise, it was merely an uncanny entity-a strange phenomenon that could emerge at random once heavenly Dao distortion reached a certain degree.
A Mirror Spirit, for instance.
Because its level was so low, a Mirror Spirit was very likely to emerge in the Restricted Zone.
The powers of the Awakened had little effect on these uncanny entities. They could only be eliminated by discovering their rules and destroying the conditions that allowed them to exist.
For example, smashing the mirror would eliminate a Mirror Spirit. Alternatively, if two people stood before the mirror, the Mirror Spirit would not appear.
Likewise, the Wall Corpse before him would disappear as long as all the walls were destroyed.
The Wall Corpse wore a ragged blue padded jacket. Its belly had been split open, exposing the badly rotted organs inside.
Its hair stuck out wildly like dead grass, and its entire face resembled a zombie's. Its round, vacant eyes stared straight at Xu Ye like a female ghost in a horror film.
It opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. The black tongue inside shot toward the space between Xu Ye's eyebrows like an arrow, trailing a great cloud of black mist.
"You have bad breath. Keep your mouth shut!"
Xu Ye used two tentacles to clamp the Wall Corpse's mouth shut.
Crack.
Its yellow teeth bit through its own tongue, and a long section fell to the floor.
The Wall Corpse screamed in pain, its eyes bulging as though they might fall out of their sockets.
"Oooo-"
"What are you staring at?"
"Keep it down!"
Xu Ye frowned and jabbed two fingers into its eyes, making it growl in agony.
Just then, Xu Ye felt his heart squirm.
