No wonder Liang Lili came to me to reconcile; it turned out to be for that two hundred thousand!
Thinking of this made me feel a surge of anger.
So I directly refused, saying, “No, I can’t take on this task!”
Upon hearing this, Liang Lili became anxious. “He Jiong, I advise you to obediently retrieve your uncle’s body, or else your life won’t be guaranteed!”
I sneered, “You dare!”
Guo Haoran replied, “We wouldn’t dare to kill you, but we can make your life a living hell!”
After saying this, he pulled out a knife and pressed it against my throat.
Liang Lili added, “He Jiong, if you don’t want to be turned into a sieve, you better obediently bring up your uncle’s body!”
I sighed helplessly.
It seemed that this time I had no choice but to go through with it.
In the end, I agreed to dive down again for the Body Retrieval.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, I submerged into the water once more.
Before long, I found the body.
This time I didn’t act recklessly; instead, I carefully observed the surroundings first.
I noticed that there were many aquatic plants around the corpse, and the current was quite swift.
Everything seemed normal.
But I knew there had to be something off.
I decided to take a different approach and see if I could maneuver around the water plants.
But before I could get close, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes!
This time, it moved!
It lunged forward and grabbed my neck!
"Ah!" I exclaimed, quickly trying to break free from its grip.
But I still felt its nails scratch my neck.
I struggled desperately, but it held on tightly.
At that moment, I realized that this corpse was actually standing upright in the water!
Oh no!
I had really crossed a line now!
I quickly let go of the corpse and swam frantically toward the surface of the lake.
As my head broke through the water, everyone was stunned!
"He Jiong, what's wrong with you?" Liang Lili exclaimed.
"Run!" I shouted with all my might.
But it was already too late.
A massive whirlpool appeared around me!
"Ah!" I cried out, and then my entire body was sucked in!
At last, I lost consciousness...
Three days later, I woke up.
I was in Old Yu's house.
Old Yu said, "You have been unconscious for three days."
I nodded.
Then I asked, "Master, was the body retrieved?"
Old Yu nodded. "It was retrieved and has already been cremated."
I asked again, "What about the two hundred thousand?"
Old Yu took out a bank card and handed it to me. "It's all in here."
I accepted the bank card and then stood up to take my leave. "Master, I'll be going now."
Old Yu said, "You don't need to come back anymore."
I asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Old Yu replied solemnly, "Because you have already violated the taboos of a Grave Robber. You can no longer be a Grave Robber."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
It seemed that this time I had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing a rice bowl!
So I stood up and left Old Yu's house.
That night, I had a dream.
I dreamt of Old Yu standing at the foot of my bed, drenched from head to toe.
With a serious expression, he said to me, "He Jiong, don’t come looking for me anymore."
I broke out in a cold sweat.
When I woke up, I found a puddle of water on the floor.
A few days later, I tried to call Old Yu, only to discover that his phone was no longer in service...
Less than a month later, I received the news of Old Yu's death.
It was a suicide.
I was shocked when I heard this news.
Because I knew that Old Yu must have died in my place!
Since I had violated the taboos of the Grave Robber, Old Yu had to pay the price with his life.
Thinking of this brought tears to my eyes.
To atone for my mistake, I decided to retrieve Old Yu's body.
So the next day, I set out alone with my equipment to Jiangxi Poyang Lake.
