When Jiang Yi Hua arrived at the hospital, just as he was about to pay, he saw orderlies carrying things out of his brother's ward from afar.
Jiang Yi Hua had a sudden premonition, so he hurried into the ward, only to find it empty.
He stopped an orderly and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, where is the patient?"
"Patient? I don't know... the head nurse told us to clean up. You can ask her."
Jiang Yi Hua rushed to the nurse's station to ask the head nurse, who adjusted her glasses and said, "Are you Jiang Yi Jun's relative?"
"Yes... Head Nurse, my brother..."
"Jiang Yi Jun committed suicide early this morning."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi Hua felt as if struck by lightning. He stood there with a pale face, not even noticing his phone falling to the ground.
He watched the head nurse diligently writing, wanting to say something but unable to open his mouth; wanting to find any evidence of her lying but unable to see her clearly; wanting to calm himself but constantly hearing the noise echoing in his ears.
After a long silence, Jiang Yi Hua asked in a hoarse, bitter voice, "Where is my brother?"
"In the morgue. Take this form and find the staff there, they will help you."
Then Jiang Yi Hua saw his brother's body.
Helplessness.
This was the only feeling Jiang Yi Hua had, both familiar and strange.
Jiang Yi Hua subsequently handled the funeral arrangements for his brother. After the coffin was buried, he did not weep profusely but immediately returned to the hospital to inquire about the specific details of that night.
"I was on duty that night... around midnight, I heard the sound of a water cup falling to the floor, so I went to check the ward. I found your brother sitting up in bed, with one hand hitting the bedside table, knocking over the water cup. At first, I thought he was asleep... after all, he often needed sleeping pills to fall asleep... so I wanted to lower his bed and tuck his hand into the quilt... but then I felt his hand was too cold, so I checked his breathing, and then..."
There were inconsistencies in her words.
This was Jiang Yi Hua's first impression.
Later, while packing his brother's belongings, Jiang Yi Hua found the sleeping pill bottle, but it was empty.
He unscrewed the cap and found a rolled-up piece of paper inside. It was his brother's messy suicide note written on toilet paper.
In just a few dozen words, the entire note was filled with apologies to his brother, taking all the blame upon himself.
Jiang Yi Hua held back his tears, but the tears and sweat from his hands still soaked the paper.
Then Jiang Yi Hua did something – he pulled some strings and had the chemical composition of the sleeping pill bottle analyzed.
The final result did not surprise Jiang Yi Hua at all – the sleeping pill bottle contained heavy metal components, mainly mercury and chromium.
Thinking that he had not requested an autopsy, Jiang Yi Hua did not regret it – his brother should not be dissected, and he could still find the murderer.
Then Jiang Yi Hua checked the hospital's visitor records and finally found a crucial piece of information the day before his brother's "suicide" – around 7:30 PM that evening, shortly after he had left the hospital, the rich second-generation individual his brother had provoked visited him.
If he genuinely believed that the rich second-generation was visiting his brother, Jiang Yi Hua would never believe it.
Now Jiang Yi Hua knew who the murderer was, and there was only one thing he needed to do – blood for blood.
So he found the woman and stated directly, "I want to become stronger."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Then the woman showed Jiang Yi Hua something he had never seen or imagined – the Outer Realm Demon Tome.
"As long as you can endure the erosion of the demon tome as it integrates with your soul, you will gain unprecedented power."
Jiang Yi Hua agreed.
To be honest, the process was painful.
But he was already numb.
When Jiang Yi Hua woke up again, he found his clothes soaked in blood and sweat, his body sticky.
The woman was holding a bowl of tea, looking at him with a smile.
"You are very good," the woman said with a smile. "You are the first one to endure the erosion of the demon tome."
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Don't call me teacher, call me King Yama."
That day, Jiang Yi Hua learned about the organization called the Yama Hall for the first time.
In King Yama's introduction, the Yama Hall seemed to be an organization that strived to achieve a utopian world, and the first step of the Yama Hall was to cleanse the world – there was much filth in the world, and it must be purged before reconstruction.
Over the next month, Jiang Yi Hua absorbed the power of the Gluttonous Evil Toad, one of the extraterrestrial demons, and could simultaneously record thousands of ancient book fragments.
The book阁 was emptied.
Jiang Yi Hua's strength also entered the eighth rank – immense and forbidden power inevitably came with a price. His appearance aged rapidly, the life force in his forty-something body diminished, and an aura of decay, common in the elderly, emanated from him.
Now almost no one could recognize Jiang Yi Hua.
And with his formidable strength, Jiang Yi Hua became a core member of the Yama Hall. At the same time, he personally avenged his two enemies – the rich second-generation who had driven his brother to death and the professor who had expelled him from school.
The rich second-generation's father was a well-known producer of spiritual energy induction devices in Jiang Province, and his business was substantial.
But when Jiang Yi Hua snapped his neck, he felt no different from the thugs he had killed before who had stood in his way.
As an unexpected bonus, he learned from the rich second-generation, who had wet himself, what had happened that night. The rich second-generation was planning to enter politics in the future, and the incident with his brother could become a stain on his record. Therefore, he decided to eliminate any potential problems. That night, he continuously provoked Jiang Yi Jun with words, and then quietly added two heavy metal capsules to the sleeping pills, which could cause immediate death when taken in overdose.
How laughable.
In the imperial court, beasts feast on provisions; within the temples, demons consort.
Jiang Yi Hua then went to Longjing University and killed the professor, discovering something very interesting: the person who had initiated the establishment of the "Pure Campus Group" was him.
But just as Jiang Yi Hua was about to investigate further, Xiao Zhen happened to witness this scene and shouted, "Who's there!?"
Jiang Yi Hua's appearance had changed so much that Xiao Zhen couldn't recognize him immediately.
Jiang Yi Hua, seeing the arcs of electricity jumping in Xiao Zhen's hand, had no intention of killing this former friend. Instead, he coldly left a message:
"xxx is dead. The killer, King Tai Shan."
