Chapter 251: The Origin of Aunt Zhang (7)
"Tutu, have you found anything?"
"Hmm, it seems that Zhang Guizhi was controlled by someone." An Yiqing straightened up and pointed with her finger to a spot hidden behind the corpse’s ear amidst the hair, "Look, the medicinal powder I prepared has reacted with her scalp, revealing a red dot. Zhang Guizhi must have been controlled by a drug capable of manipulating human thoughts."
Gu Yelin frowned, pulled the girl far away from Zhang Guizhi’s body, took off his coat, and carefully wiped her hands, fearing that she, too, might be contaminated with the thought-controlling poison.
An Yiqing, who found the man’s childish gesture slightly amusing, couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "Ah Lin, don’t worry, this kind of drug is not contagious."
However, upon hearing this, Gu Yelin’s face stiffened, and his ears turned a bit red as he muttered, "Better safe than sorry."
Watching the man’s loyal-dog-like act, An Yiqing finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
...
Leaving the morgue, An Yiqing had already begun to form some theories. Zhang Guizhi’s body reminded her of the attack she and Duan Tang faced a few months ago. She remembered the assailants in black clearly, they were controlled by a drug. She had observed them closely; their eyes were dull, their movements mechanical, not even crying out in pain when injured, as if they were soulless. Today’s situation with Zhang Guizhi was very similar to theirs, the only difference being that Zhang Guizhi was able to think independently, even in battle or at the brink of death.
So, could it be understood that if those black-clothed assailants were under low-level control, then Zhang Guizhi was subjected to a higher level of manipulation? And if this control could turn an ordinary person into an Ancient Martial Artist, could it possibly turn an Ancient Martial Artist into a Martial Cultivator?
Gradually, An Yiqing started to put the pieces together. If Zhang Guizhi was truly connected to those men in black, then it means that what Duan Tang said was true: those men were from Canglang Sect. This meant that this matter definitely had a close connection with Canglang Sect.
