Chapter 1167: Soul Hidden in the Skeleton

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu had never thought that native people would appear in the remains because they had never ever appeared in the past.

Beimang remains, Salt Lake remains, Lop Nur remains, Koh Chang Island remains, no humans had ever appeared in those remains which Lu Shu had been to.

The closest species to humans were the soldiers from the sea. However, the soldiers from the sea were extremely different from humans.

Lu Shu said to others, “Is anyone here medically trained?”

One of the female practitioners raised her hand weekly. “Before I became a Metahuman, I was a nurse.”

“Can you tell if this is a human’s skeleton?” asked Lu Shu curiously.

The female practitioner was about to cry. “It looks very similar to a human’s...”

Lu Shu was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“When I was in medical school, I have learnt it before but I was not hardworking and hence went to urology after graduation...” explained the female practitioner.

Lu Shu was speechless. What on earth was urology?!

At this moment, Lu Shu was certain that the skeleton belonged to a human but he wanted to confirm it through an expert’s opinion.

What made him curious was, if there were native people in this remains, how would they treat foreign humans? Would they view them as friends or enemies? How powerful would they be?

Lu Shu would not be worried if there were only creatures in the remains. However, when the word “humans” were mentioned, he was suddenly worried.

At this moment, Lu Shu realized that he was more afraid of humans than creatures.

By right, he should feel a sense of familiarity when he met humans in the remains. However, Lu Shu found it hard to do so as the most dangerous thing in the world were humans.

Israel and the rest got nervous after seeing Lu Shu’s reaction. To her and the rest, the skeleton was nothing special. Although it looked frightening, it was normal for people to die in the remains, right?

At this moment, the mindset of the group of ordinary people had slowly changed. They had to get used to the cruelty in the remains to survive. However, they were not as experienced as Lu Shu and did not know that it was unusual for natives to appear in the remains.

Yet now, although in their minds Lu Shu was not that strong, everyone had unintentionally placed all their bets on Lu Shu. If Lu Shu was so nervous, how could they not be nervous?

Israel was nervous. “Is there anything wrong? What happened to this human skeleton?”

Lu Shu frowned. “Something’s wrong!”

Israel and the rest got even more nervous. “What is wrong?”

Lu Shu said calmly, “He is naked?”

Israel and the rest were astonished. What a lame joke to make at this point in time! His clothes had already decomposed long ago!

At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly stretched out his hand and put it over the helicopter pilot’s neck before lifting him up from the ground. He said coldly, “Who are you!”

In the previous wave of distress points, Lu Shu suddenly realized that the helicopter pilot’s name was not in the records.

Initially, Lu Shu could feel that there was a weak wave of energy when the skeleton was excavated. However, he did not manage to find out what happened in the end.

After confirming with the records, Lu Shu had confirmed that the helicopter pilot had lost consciousness, and the skeleton’s soul had possessed the pilot’s body!

Lu Shu had heard about spooky stories before. For example, when walking in the cemetery with a friend, the friend could possibly end up not being the original friend...

However, this was ineffective for Lu Shu as he could do a real-name verification!

Israel and the rest looked at Lu Shu shockingly. “Are you insane, he is George! Don’t you know him?”

Lu Shu shook his head. To put it accurately, he was Lu Kongming!

“How did you find out?” The pilot was able to talk carefreely despite having his neck strangled by Lu Shu. However, his voice was no longer the original voice of the pilot.

Moreover, what shocked Israel and the rest the most was the fact that the pilot suddenly began to speak in Mandarin.

Initially, they were suspicious. However, when the pilot began to speak in fluent Mandarin, they realized that Lu Shu was not lying and trying to find an excuse to kill someone.

However, how did Lu Shu find out?

Israel and the rest could only credit this to the magical abilities of a practitioner. Meanwhile, the female practitioner did not speak as she knew about it. Both Lu Shu and herself were Rank E but she did not realize that anything was wrong!

In fact, the female practitioner looked up to Lu Shu because she found out that Lu Shu was not Rank E. How could a Rank E practitioner remain so calm in the remains?

“I am asking you a question, why are you asking me instead?” sneered Lu Shu.

Lu Kongming suddenly started laughing. “You don’t seem to know who you are talking to.”

Suddenly, he pressed his hands on Lu Shu’s arm and started using strength from his palms, attempting to break Lu Shu’s bones.

However, with that power... Nothing had happened...

“From Lu Kongming’s distress, +666!”

Lu Kongming looked astonished. Lu Shu said calmly, “Hmm, then tell me, who am I talking to?”

“Hehe, looks like I have underestimated you,” sneered Lu Kongming again. Then, the skeleton suddenly stood up and using his bones as a knife, he aimed at Lu Shu’s temples. Lu Shu, with his right hand holding Lu Kongming, used his other hand to disintegrate the “knife” into powder.

Lu Shu looked at Lu Kongming. “This?”

“From Lu Kongming’s distress, +666!”

“Now, I am asking you a question. If you don’t want to perish, speak the truth,” said Lu Shu calmly.

Lu Kongming was poite. “You mean...”

Although Israel and the rest could not understand Mandarin, they realized that Lu Kongming’s attitude suddenly changed and became nice to Lu Shu... Was this what was meant by “a rapid change in attitude”...

At this moment, Lu Kongming saw how Israel and the rest were about to cry. Why were they acting like that? Shouldn’t he be the one who was surprised? How did he manage to randomly bump into a powerful practitioner?

He was observing this group of people while hiding in the skeleton. He realized that the group of people were afraid of the remains.

Therefore, Lu Kongming was confused. ‘Since you are so powerful, why are you hiding in the cave with this group of ordinary villagers?’

Lu Shu glanced at the ordinary people and said after realizing that they did not understand Mandarin, “Why are you still able to keep your soul?”

“Because my master has a way to keep souls,” said Lu Kongming honestly.
