297: Chapter 0298: Devour 297: Chapter 0298: Devour The forensic expert had also retrieved fingerprints from the neck of the deceased, Ma Wenjuan.
On the way back, it could be determined from the fingerprints that the sa perpetrator was committing the cris.
After Ma Wenjuan’s body was taken back to the morgue by a nearby hospital, her family was notified to co and collect the body to be taken to the funeral ho.
Ma Wenjuan’s body was placed in the cold storage room of the morgue, where the temperature was below zero degrees to preserve the body for a longer duration.
If it were any other body, under such temperature conditions, it could be preserved for a very long ti without leading to decay or a putrid stench.
However, as soon as Ma Wenjuan’s body had been delivered to the freezer compartnt in the morgue, it began to undergo constant change.
She had voluntarily kissed Zhang Yi, and those worms inside Zhang Yi’s body had entered her throat from her mouth, and then from her throat into her stomach.
Within the human body, there are naturally parasitic worms, such as roundworms, hookworms, and so on.
But these exist under normal circumstances.
Zhang Yi had them too before he died.
However, after his death, it was two n who perford a ritual to revive him, just like a regular person waking up.
Because of that, sothing new appeared in his body—those worms.
These worms fed on corpses or lived parasitically in them.
Inside Zhang Yi’s stomach, there were many such worms.
Now that those worms had entered Ma Wenjuan’s stomach, they were constantly consuming her internal organs, so much so that over ti, her organs were slowly being devoured.
Ma Wenjuan’s body started to gradually swell, becoming more and more inflated; her stomach was completely hollowed out, leaving only those worms inside it and so gas.
Eventually, all that was left on her body was a layer of skin, so hair, and the clothes she was wearing.
Everything else had been consud by the worms.
However, when the worms encountered the low temperatures in the cold storage room, they slowly lted away until they were completely gone.
…
Zhang Yi left Nightmares Bar and disappeared into the shadows of the street, heading back to that upscale apartnt complex.
When he arrived at the entrance of the upscale apartnt complex, two security guards, seeing Zhang Yi’s attire, thought it rather strange.
They even had the vague impression that his clothes were stained with blood.
The security guards thought they had seen wrong, so they didn’t look too closely.
However, as Zhang Yi passed by the security booth, he could still sll that stench.
It was emanating from him.
Although the two n had already perford a ritual to remove the deathly aura from Zhang Yi once, it didn’t take long for it to co back even stronger.
“This Zhang Yi really seems to have bad breath and a peculiar sll!”
One security guard comnted.
“Could it be bromhidrosis?
It’s noticeable from so far away.”
“It’s a bit like bromhidrosis, that sll of dead salted fish is really foul.”
The other guard continued.
Zhang Yi seed not to hear, and as he walked, his throat kept making a gurgling sound—it was those worms inside his body moving around relentlessly.
Back at his own apartnt, he locked the door, and then directly lay down to sleep on the floor of the dark room.
But now, the odor in the room, like that of dead mice mixed with salted fish, was so intense that an ordinary person slling it could possibly faint on the spot.
Early the next morning, the sunlight outside was intense, but Zhang Yi couldn’t be exposed to the sun now.
In the room, all the windows and curtains were closed, and even with a bit of light inside, he still felt very uncomfortable and could only hide under the dark bed.
Zhu Guifang was the owner of the high-end apartnt that Zhang Yi was renting.
Since she had other properties in Jinling, this apartnt was specifically for renting out to others.
Zhu Guifang had rented this apartnt to Zhang Yi for over three years.
Normally, on the day the rent was due, Zhang Yi would transfer the rent to her account in advance, including utilities and other fees.
However, nearly a week had passed since the rent was due this month, and Zhu Guifang found it strange.
Could it be that Zhang Yi no longer lived there?
Why hadn’t he paid the rent for such a long ti?
Although she had a security deposit, Zhu Guifang thought that if Zhang Yi were not to continue renting the apartnt, she would rent it out to soone else.
After all, the monthly rent of five to six thousand was not a small amount.
Zhu Guifang drove her Toyota to the entrance of the security booth, where the two guards recognized her as the owner of the apartnt Zhang Yi was renting.
“Miss Zhu, you’ve co.”
“Have you seen Zhang Yi?
He hasn’t paid the rent for over a week!”
“We’ve seen him, every day.
He always cos back very late at night, and we haven’t seen him go out during the day.”
Zhang Yi worked as a bartender, and Zhu Guifang was aware of this fact.
If that was the case, why hadn’t Zhang Yi paid the rent?
Could he have forgotten?
Knowing that Zhang Yi was inside, Zhu Guifang drove in.
After she drove in and found a parking spot to park her car, Zhu Guifang got out, holding her purse, then she took the elevator up to the door of her apartnt.
She knocked on the door continuously, but there was no response from Zhang Yi.
She called out a few tis and still, it was the sa, and the phone calls went unanswered.
Zhu Guifang naturally had a key to this apartnt.
She took it out from her purse and opened the door.
As soon as she stepped inside, the foul sll at the entrance beca even more pronounced.
Could it be a burst sewage pipe?
Zhu Guifang thought perhaps the toilet’s pipeline had burst, causing the inside to be filled with an unbearable stench.
Yet, she didn’t see sewage water everywhere; instead, the floor inside was very dry, but the place was very dark.
In broad daylight, all the doors and windows, the curtains, were all closed up.
As Zhu Guifang wondered about the source of the foul sll inside, she suddenly saw Zhang Yi walking out from sowhere.
Seeing Zhang Yi dressed strangely, she asked, “Zhang Yi, why have you made my apartnt so stinky?
And, why have you pulled all these curtains down in broad daylight?”
The apartnt was already shielded from sunlight by tall buildings in the back, and with the doors and windows, the curtains closed, it would undoubtedly beco even darker.
Zhang Yi didn’t say anything; instead, he went to close all the doors and windows, the curtains that Zhu Guifang had just opened, because he was feeling very uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Zhang Yi pull the curtains back down, Zhu Guifang beca very angry.
She didn’t want her expensive apartnt to be treated like this by Zhang Yi.
“Also, when are you going to pay this month’s rent?”
Zhu Guifang said this as she surveyed the room.
The odor inside now made her feel extrely uncomfortable, to the point of wanting to vomit.
She didn’t want to stay inside for even a second longer.
She now wanted to drive Zhang Yi out and find new renters.
