Chapter 446: Who Would Take Such a Risk to Do Such a Thing?

Yao Qingyi secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said methodically, “In five days at most, we’ll definitely give everyone an explanation. If we can’t investigate clearly in five days, we’ll also get rid of the zombies. We promise not to cause any more trouble for you.”
Seeing that Yao Qingyi had arranged everything properly, the onlookers looked at each other and really couldn’t say anything else.
w.a.n.g Ge realized that the situation wasn’t right and shouted relentlessly, “Don’t listen to the nonsense of the people from the Imperial Preceptor’s residence. If they can really get rid of the zombies, why would they let the zombies sneak out?”
Shen Yaowei looked unhappy and glanced at w.a.n.g Ge.
Her gaze was especially sharp, like a sharp blade. w.a.n.g Ge was so frightened that she felt a strong sense of suffocation. She subconsciously lowered her head and didn’t dare to say another word.
“We weren’t on guard previously. Next, we promise to take good care of the zombies. Please don’t worry.” Seeing that there were finally no more objections, Yao Qingyi turned to Cang Ye and Shen Yaowei. “Cang Ye, Miss Shen, take the zombies to the dungeon and lock them up first. I’ll go later.”
Shen Yaowei agreed and held the rope that bound Baili Hui to Cang Ye. She successfully brought him back to the dungeon.
Baili Hui was indeed not like ordinary zombies who struggled crazily and resisted every small matter.
After letting it enter the cage, it would walk in obediently. It would even take the initiative to extend its hands so that Shen Yaowei and Cang Ye could tie it to the pillar behind it.
Shen Yaowei looked at Baili Hui and asked Cang Ye uncertainly, “Cang Ye, don’t you feel that General Baili is more humane than before? And his aura seems to have become purer than before.”
Logically speaking, Baili Hui had just killed someone. The aura around him should be sinister.
However, there was nothing wrong with Baili Hui’s aura, and it was purer than before. It was obvious that Baili Hui was extraordinary.
Without answering Shen Yaowei’s question directly, Cang Ye observed Baili Hui carefully and suddenly pulled his arm.
Shen Yaowei looked over curiously and saw Cang Ye flip his hand and roll up Baili Hui’s sleeve.
The skin on Baili Hui’s palm was hard and thick. His dark nails were sharp and slender, looking like the claws of a wild beast.
Logically speaking, Baili Hui’s skin should be like this.
However, on his wrist under his sleeve, there was a part of his skin that had returned to the color that a normal person should have. It was still relatively soft when poked. The skin that was as hard as a rock beside it created an extremely sharp contrast.
Shen Yaowei looked at the palm-sized normal skin and reached out to touch it in disbelief.
The soft touch made her feel strange. She couldn’t help but touch it again and again. “This is the first time I’ve encountered such a zombie. Moreover, I remember that Senior Brother Yao and the others checked the entire body of the zombie last night and didn’t find anything abnormal.”
“In other words, after this zombie was released for a while, it was purified when it returned.” Cang Ye thought for a moment and immediately denied it. “No, that’s not right. According to Yao Qingyi, someone deliberately released the restraints on Baili Hui, causing him to escape. In that case, could it be that someone wanted to purify Baili Hui, so they had no choice but to release the restraints on him, causing him to unintentionally escape?”
Shen Yaowei’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement. “I think your guess makes sense. However, purifying the zombies is almost impossible.. Who would take such a huge risk to do such a thing?”
