When Su Yuan and the others followed "Zhongli" to the entrance of Bubu Pharmacy, just then someone came out from inside, clutching their head in pain and murmuring to themselves:
"How strange…"
"Although Doctor Baizhu's medicine doesn't work that quickly—it's not like the illness can be cured immediately…"
"But why do I feel even worse after receiving Doctor Baizhu's treatment…"
"So tired… I just want to go back and sleep…"
Su Yuan and the others had no time to pay attention to this person and instead followed "Zhongli" into Bubu Pharmacy.
"Eh? Consultant Zhongli?"
Baizhu was also very surprised to see "Zhongli" arrive at Bubu Pharmacy.
"Consultant Zhongli, as far as I remember, your health has always been excellent. It seems you've never come to Bubu Pharmacy because of illness before."
"That's really rare. If you're feeling unwell, just tell me!"
"Hm? And Ganyu, Captain Beidou, Su Yuan—you're here too?"
"Baizhu, be careful!"
Su Yuan quickly warned:
"Right now, Zhongli is already under the control of the Eerie forces!"
"Someone inside your Bubu Pharmacy must have broken a contract!"
"Ah? What's going on?" Baizhu's face showed extreme shock.
"Su Yuan, didn't you just tell me this morning that only breaking a contract in front of Mr. Zhongli would cause him to enter the Eerie state?"
"Besides, there's no one here who has violated any contract…"
"That's true—no one has violated any contract…"
At that moment, "Zhongli" looked up in the direction where Baizhu was standing and slowly said:
"The one who broke the contract is a snake…"
The next instant, a sudden surge of Eerie power erupted from "Zhongli," and he reached out toward Changsheng, who was coiled around Baizhu!
None of those present expected that the one who violated the contract was actually Changsheng.
But what shocked everyone even more was that a burst of Eerie power suddenly also erupted from Changsheng's body, colliding with the Eerie power from "Zhongli"!
Baizhu looked on in shock, unable to understand—when exactly had Changsheng fallen under the control of the Eerie force?
"With just this little strength of yours, you dare to oppose me?"
"Breaking the contract means you must pay the price!!!"
"Zhongli" let out an angry roar as the Eerie power on his body violently erupted, breaking through Changsheng's defenses.
He grabbed her body and forcibly pulled her off Baizhu!
"Changsheng!"
Although Baizhu knew that Changsheng was already controlled by the Eerie forces, he instinctively rushed forward, trying to save her from Zhongli's grasp, only to be mercilessly kicked to the ground by Zhongli!
"Do not interfere with my punishment of those who break the contract, or you will share the same guilt!!!"
Zhongli glared fiercely at Baizhu lying on the ground and spoke with absolute authority.
Then, Zhongli turned his gaze to Changsheng, who was struggling and twisting in his hands, and slowly said:
"Changsheng, you violated the contract with Baizhu without his knowledge or permission. You secretly used the secret technique 'Serpent Dragging Dragon Method' to siphon vitality from those patients and inject it into Baizhu's body…"
"The contract has been made, and those who break their word shall suffer the penalty of the Geo Punishment…"
Su Yuan and the others suddenly understood—the person who had just walked out of the Bubu Pharmacy looked weak and in pain because Changsheng had used the secret technique to siphon his vitality…
At this moment, Zhongli seemed unwilling to give Changsheng any chance to defend herself.
With one hand, he forcibly pried open Changsheng's mouth, while his other hand condensed Geo elemental power wrapped in eerie energy, continuously pushing out stones and clumps of earth, forcefully shoving them into Changsheng's mouth…
The body structure of snakes is completely different from humans; they can swallow animals several times their own size…
Now, swallowing rocks was the same…
Rocks and soil kept pouring from Zhongli's hand, and Changsheng's body visibly began to swell…
Growing bigger and bigger…
Then… just like a balloon filled with air, she suddenly exploded!
Blood, flesh, rocks, and soil splattered all over the Bubu Pharmacy…
"As expected of a serpent creature, a simple 'Judgement of Wrath of the Rock' is hardly a challenge for you…"
Zhongli looked at the now lifeless Changsheng and slowly said:
"So, I had no choice but to feed you plenty…"
"Next time, make sure you never break the contract again…"
Saying this, Zhongli turned and left the Bubu Pharmacy.
Su Yuan found it strange.
Logically, once the person who violated the contract is killed, the conditions for the eerie state should no longer exist.
So why did Zhongli seem to show no immediate signs of exiting the eerie state and instead just left?
Then again, if Zhongli exited the eerie state immediately after killing the contract-breaker, the original Zhongli surely would have noticed this…
Su Yuan quickly followed him and saw Zhongli go to a secluded corner outside the Bubu Pharmacy.
There, Zhongli trembled all over, and then the eerie power on him dissipated, as if he had returned to normal…
"Zhongli?" Su Yuan hurried forward and asked about his condition.
"Su Yuan, it's you…" Zhongli rubbed his temples and slowly said, "I think I just lost my memory again…"
"Did I kill the person who violated the contract once more?"
"Yes… this time, the one who died was Changsheng," Su Yuan replied, then they both returned to Bubu Pharmacy.
At this moment, Baizhu was holding Changsheng's head in his hands, looking at the scattered body parts around, his expression dark and sorrowful…
"Doctor Baizhu, I'm sorry…" Zhongli said.
"Mr. Zhongli, it's not your fault…" Baizhu forced a smile and said, "This is all the fault of the eerie forces, it has nothing to do with you…"
"Besides, I have no clue when Changsheng fell under the eerie corruption…"
"No wonder my condition has been so good these past few days — it turns out Changsheng was drawing life force from others to sustain me…"
"But now there's no use dwelling on that. Changsheng is already dead…"
"We have to figure out exactly what conditions cause Mr. Zhongli to enter the eerie state, so we can prevent greater casualties…"
