Oh no!
This situation has turned dire!
I struggled to break free, but my feet had completely lost their buoyancy.
As I felt my body sinking deeper, a sense of despair washed over me.
Could it be that I was going to die here today?
Soon, I spotted Old Yu's corpse.
To my surprise, he wasn't floating on the surface; instead, he was standing upright at the bottom of the water.
He had become an upright corpse.
This meant he had transformed into a Sha!
One of the taboos that Grave Robbers must avoid is encountering an upright corpse, as such bodies can turn into Sha, which are extremely dangerous.
But Old Yu was my master; I believed he wouldn't harm me.
So, I decided to take the risk and pull him up.
As I swam upward with Old Yu's body in tow, I suddenly felt an unusual heaviness.
It was nothing like the weight of a normal person.
No matter how hard I pulled, I couldn't budge him an inch.
Instead, our bodies sank deeper into the mire.
Until the sludge reached my knees!
No!
I shouldn't die here!
So I struggled desperately to break free.
But the more I fought, the faster I sank.
As the muck climbed to my thighs, a sense of urgency washed over me.
Just then, I suddenly noticed something was off!
The sludge around Old Yu's body had clearly been disturbed!
It seemed like something was buried beneath it!
I quickly bent down to dig through the muck.
Before long, I uncovered a brand-new smartphone encased in a waterproof bag!
I took out my phone and unlocked the screen.
On the display was a video.
In the video, a middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
As he cried, he exclaimed, "I didn't mean to!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"I truly didn't mean to!"
I couldn't help but be taken aback.
Isn't this Liang Lili's Father?
How did he end up here?
Then I looked more closely at the content of the video.
Only then did I understand the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Liang Lili's Father had been pushed down by Guo Haoran!
Moreover, their intention was to defraud insurance money!
Guo Haoran and Liang Lili had secretly gotten married and taken out a substantial insurance policy.
They planned to orchestrate an accident that would lead to Liang Lili's father's untimely death, allowing them to claim the insurance money.
However, they did not anticipate that after his death, the body would go missing.
Desperate, they sought out a local Grave Robber, hoping he could retrieve the body for them.
Unfortunately, the Grave Robber also failed in his attempt.
In their desperation, they turned to me, asking for my help in recovering the body.
What they didn’t expect was that I inadvertently violated a taboo of the Grave Robber, which resulted in the body remaining unretrievable.
Then they devised a plan to use my phone to record a video as a means of coercing me into assisting with the Body Retrieval.
They deliberately dug a pit at my intended retrieval site and hid my phone beneath it.
This was their way of leading me to uncover the truth.
After watching the video, I felt a surge of anger.
These two wretches had gone so far as to harm their own family member for the sake of insurance money!
It was utterly heartless!
But at that moment, I could no longer afford to feel anger, as I had to prioritize my own survival.
So I quickly left a message at the end of the video: "If you want me to help you with the Body Retrieval, then release our bodies!"
"Otherwise, I would rather die here than help you!"
After saying that, I turned off my phone, took a deep breath, and held it as I swam towards the surface of the lake.
Just as my body was about to exhaust its last bit of oxygen, I suddenly felt my feet loosen!
The mud beneath me had actually given way!
What a chance!
I hurriedly grabbed Old Yu's body and desperately swam towards the surface...
Three days later, Old Yu was laid to rest.
I watched his figure gradually fade away and couldn't help but shed tears.
Old Yu, rest assured!
I will avenge you!
