When Hong Zhuang received the news from Lu Xuan that Lin Huang was dead, she did not believe it at first. She felt that the possibility of Lin Huang escaping was much higher than him dying in the training camp. However, she soon realized that Lu Xuan would not joke about something like that.
"Are you sure that Lin Huang is really dead?" Hong Zhuang frowned and asked.
"I was also afraid that Scar was joking with me. I even went to Scar's place just to confirm it. I only came back to inform you after I saw the body," Lu Xuan explained.
"I'll be right there." Hong Zhuang hung up the call right away.
A moment later, a black metal door appeared in Lu Xuan's room. Soon, the door opened automatically and a lady in a black trench coat walked out. There was a bloody purple crow logo on the left side of her collar.
Hong Zhuang kept the dimensional relic as soon as she stepped out of the door. She said to Lu Xuan, "Bring me there."
Lu Xuan nodded and summoned a red wooden door. Both of them then stepped into it.
The coordinates of the red wooden door were in Scarface's office. Hong Zhuang and Lu Xuan saw the Golden Silk Wood coffin as soon as they stepped through the door.
Hong Zhuang frowned and appeared next to the coffin in just one step.
She frowned even more when she saw Lin Huang's body. She did not even look at Scarface and asked, "How did he die?"
Only then did Scarface recount what had happened. Then, he pulled out the surveillance footage from the trial space.
Hong Zhuang frowned after watching the video. After a moment of silence, she turned her head and said to Lu Xuan, "Bring the body out and let me see."
Lu Xuan frowned. He was actually a neat freak but he could only bear with it. He reached his hand into the room and brought Lin Huang's body out.
"Put it over there." Hong Zhuang pointed at Scarface's desk.
Scarface did not dare to object. He nodded immediately and said, "Put it on the desk. It's more spacious there."
Lu Xuan carried Lin Huang's body to the table and put it down. Hong Zhuang then walked over, "Turn him over, back facing up."
Lu Xuan reached out and flipped Lin Huang over.
Hong Zhuang then took a closer look.
"His neck was bitten by the Shadow Wolf. His cervical vertebrae are broken. He must have been bitten off when he was ambushed. The cause of death was the trampling of the Giant Horned Rhinoceros, which had crushed his internal organs. Judging from the current state of the corpse, it does match the result of being trampled by the giant horned rhinoceros in the video … "She mumbled as she examined the corpse.
Hong Zhuang was still frowning after checking the body from head to toe. She didn't see anything wrong with the corpses. They matched the battle process shown in the video, but her intuition told her that something was wrong.
"Have you done a genetic test?" Hong Zhuang asked Scarface all of a sudden.
"Genetic test? No. " Scarface shook his head. "I carried the body out with my own hands, and there was video surveillance the whole time. It's unlikely that someone tampered with it, right?"
"Why are you talking so much, Scarface? Get someone to do a genetic test now." Lu Xuan immediately patted Scarface.
Scarface realized that he shouldn't have said that when he saw Hong Zhuang's unfriendly gaze. He called the staff immediately to get someone to do a blood test.
A few minutes later, a lady in a white medical uniform came up on the elevator.
"Do a genetic test on the corpse and compare it with Lin Huang's DNA." Hong Zhuang did not even look at Scarface and said to the lady doctor directly.
The lady doctor turned her head to look at Scarface. She did not know who Hong Zhuang was, but she knew that Scarface was her superior.
"Do it now!" Scarface shouted with a straight face.
The lady doctor then walked forward to take a sample.
Approximately five to six minutes later, the results were out. She lifted her head and said to Scarface, "The results show that the corpse's DNA is exactly the same as Lin Huang's. They're the same person."
Scarface and Lu Xuan looked at Hong Zhuang. Hong Zhuang was still in disbelief. "How could this be …"
"You can leave now." Scarface said to the lady doctor softly.
The lady doctor nodded and left after putting away the test tools.
"Master Hong Zhuang, Lin Huang is indeed a good seedling. However, he's fated to die. He can't avoid it even if he wants to. Geniuses are more likely to die than ordinary people. "Lu Xuan could not help but speak after Hong Zhuang remained silent for a long time.
"He had the chance to summon his monster. As long as he summoned the vampire, he wouldn't have died. Why did he choose to attack instead of summoning his monster? "Hong Zhuang shook her head. She still felt that something was off.
"Under normal circumstances, people's first reaction when they're attacked is to either dodge or fight back. Moreover, Lin Huang might have acted on instinct when he was attacked. After all, he's only 15 years old and has limited battle experience. Based on our experience, he might not have been able to think of the things that we're capable of considering. "Lu Xuan explained.
"I think Lin Huang might have thought of summoning his vampire to protect him after he killed the Shadowwolf. However, the giant horned rhinoceros was too fast. The moment he killed the Shadowwolf, the rhinoceros was already behind him, causing him to be unable to summon the Guardian Vampire in time. "Scarface speculated.
Hong Zhuang felt relieved after listening to their explanation. "That's right. I can't ask a 15-year-old kid to do what I'm capable of … I was overthinking … It's such a waste of such a good seedling and the double mutated vampire …"
An Imperial Censor's summoning beasts were kept in the contracted space before they were summoned. If the Imperial Censor died, the contracted space would collapse and all the summoning beasts would die. If the summoning beasts were summoned, the summoning beasts would lose the contract once the Imperial Censor died and become wild monsters again.
That was why Hong Zhuang said it was a pity. She had her eyes on Lin Huang because of the double mutated vampire.
"Master Hong Zhuang, do you want to take his body away or …" Scarface could not help but ask.
"Do as you see fit. He's already dead, what's the point of having his body?" Hong Zhuang glared at Scarface and Lu Xuan coldly. "Both of you are quite capable. Is it difficult to ask you to take care of this kid for three months? Now that he's dead, how dare you ask me if I want to take him away?! "
"Master Hong Zhuang, we're responsible for this. We didn't complete the task that you gave us. We're willing to accept the punishment. "Lu Xuan had discussed with Scarface and Scarface from the beginning. They could only accept the punishment.
"Alright, cut the crap. Don't think that I don't know what you're up to." Hong Zhuang's face was still cold. "If you want me to let this go, I'll tell you this – impossible!"
Hearing this, the two of them looked bitter.
"However, I can give both of you a chance to make up for what you did." Hong Zhuang licked her lips as she said that.
"We'll try our best!" Although they knew that Hong Zhuang's condition would not be easy, they would rather give it a try. It was better than being targeted by this woman all the time.
"My condition is that you must find me an Imperial Censor with a double mutated monster within a year. He can't be older than 18 years old. If you can find him, I'll pretend that nothing happened. If not … You should know that I'm a very vengeful woman … "Hong Zhuang smirked.
Both of them looked bitter. There were very few Imperial Censors to begin with, and there were even fewer Imperial Censors with double mutated monsters. Hong Zhuang had even restricted the requirement to be under 18 years old. They had lived for hundreds of years, and the only person that met such a requirement was Lin Huang. She even stipulated that they must find him within a year. It was an impossible task.
However, they did not reject it. Instead, they nodded in agreement. "We'll try our best to complete the task!"
Lu Xuan and Scarface looked at each other after sending Hong Zhuang off.
"What should we do? Where can we find an Imperial Censor like Lin Huang within a year? "Scarface looked at Lu Xuan helplessly.
"What's the rush? At least we have a year's buffer. She won't cause us trouble now." Lu Xuan was helpless too.
"What's the use of a year's buffer? Are you going to be promoted to an elite member within a year, or are you going to spend a year running to a place where she can't find you?" Scarface looked at Lu Xuan mockingly.
"I won't be afraid of her if I can be promoted to an elite member. As for running, don't even think about it. It'll be worse if she catches me." Lu Xuan shook his head immediately. "At least we can think of something with a year's buffer. If you guys can find a good candidate and send him to her, she might be able to calm down. She doesn't have to be an Imperial Censor like Lin Huang. "
"That's true. Let's relax the recruitment criteria for the training camp. We might be able to find something." Scarface nodded.
After the two of them chatted about the newbies, Lu Xuan left.
Scarface then turned to look at Lin Huang's body on his desk. He walked to the desk and stared at Lin Huang's body for a while before saying, "Lin Huang, Lin Huang, you're dead. Rest in peace. According to the rules, a dead body without a backer will be thrown off the cliff to feed the monsters. If you can grow up, you'll definitely be a genius. I'll feel bad if I neglect you. After all, we've known each other for a long time. Let's do as you said to your roommate. Cremate your body so that no one will covet your body. "
Scarface had heard the conversation between Lin Huang and Xiao Mo the day before.
After spending some time cremating Lin Huang's body and storing his Emperor's Heart Ring and weapon ring into the urn, he found Lin Huang's address in Wulin Town and mailed it. Scarface then spread the news of Lin Huang's death.
