Chapter 1547: Chapter 1547: It Moved… It Moved
However, they had only taken a few steps when one of the Longhu Guards carrying a stretcher felt it shake. The two Longhu Guards carrying the stretcher were startled at the same time. Those walking behind them looked down and screamed in terror.
“Ah!”
“What’s going on, can’t even carry a dead body…”
The stretcher was abruptly flung to the ground. The people in front turned around, annoyed, wanting to scold their comrades, but as they laid eyes upon the corpse on the stretcher, all their words were stuck in their throats.
“It… it… it moved.”
Everyone’s eyes widened with horror as they witnessed a person, who was unmistakably dead, rise from the ground.
‘Clang’ went the sound.
The other two Longhu Guards carrying the stretcher looked over and were so frightened that they too dropped their stretcher on the ground.
This was clearly a corpse—a corpse everyone had seen and confirmed dead not just recently, but two hours ago. How could it still be alive?
“Ah!”
“Ah!!”
With that, screams erupted, and the Shu Family’s servants were so terrified that they fled in panic, leaving behind only those with more courage or those too weak in the knees to run.
The Longhu Guards watched as the corpse slowly stood up and one by one, they drew their knives from their waists.
‘Hiss!’
The male corpse stood up with its face still discolored with a purplish hue, showing the Longhu Guards a gruesome expression.
The next moment, he rushed towards the Longhu Guards, heedless of anything.
Seeing the corpse lunging at them, one of the Longhu Guards swung his knife, striking the attacker.
A ‘pu chi’ was heard as the long knife plunged fiercely into the male corpse’s body, then was pulled out. He fell backwards, hitting the ground hard.
“Is it… is it dead for good now?”
The butler, swallowing hard, asked feebly while looking at the male corpse.
This was a corpse, one that he had personally confirmed to be thoroughly dead, and to see it rise like that could scare someone to death, couldn’t it?
One of the Longhu Guards sheathed his knife and was about to confirm the death when someone next to him grabbed his arm.
“Don’t go over there!”
That Longhu Guard had already seen the fingers of the male corpse twitching.
“He’s not dead, he moved.”
“How could this be!”
The Longhu Guard who had struck the corpse was the first to disbelieve.
His strike had been meant to kill, and even if it was one of them, a slash like that would have ended their breath, let alone a mere servant.
But when he looked carefully, he indeed saw the fingers of the male corpse twitching.
He shuddered, stepping back in fear.
“No, it’s impossible, how could this be possible?”
He murmured to himself, about to step forward to deliver another blow, but then he saw the corpse flip over, once again showing him a hideous face.
What was even more horrifying was that his last slash had nearly cut the corpse in half at the waist. The upper body had flipped over, but the lower half was still lying face down.
The upper half of the corpse crawled towards them, spilling intestines all over the ground.
“Ugh!”
The servants had never seen such a horrific scene and began to vomit in disgust.
Even the parents of the male corpse were so repulsed that they trembled and backed away, not wanting to believe that this ghastly thing in front of them used to be their son.
And just as everyone was overwhelmed with revulsion, the female corpse moved and started to rise from the ground.
