Bai Lixin lifted the corpse’s abdomen gently and took a look. As he had expected, Lu Dali’s heart was missing. The remaining organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys were still present, but they had all turned into stiff, gray substances.
Bai Lixin lightly tapped these organs with his index finger, resulting in a dull “thud” sound.
Shen Mo: “It looks like his organs have calcified.”
Bai Lixin remained silent, his thoughts hidden.
After examining Lu Dali’s organs, Bai Lixin shifted his gaze to the skin.
Starting from Lu Dali’s pale and cold cheeks, Bai Lixin’s gaze gradually moved downward. His look was cold yet sharp, like a scanner at work.
Seeing Bai Lixin’s gaze getting lower and lower, Shen Mo subconsciously placed his hand on the white cloth covering Lu Dali’s thigh. “It’s getting late. We sneaked in from other departments, are you treating this place like a supermarket, planning to handpick something?”
Bai Lixin’s gaze halted, and he looked up at Shen Mo before forcefully pushing away his hand. “Move aside.”
Shen Mo pressed his hand even harder. “Why are you looking at everything? What’s so interesting down there?”
Helpless, Bai Lixin pointed at the spot Shen Mo was covering, “There seems to be a mark there. Take your hand off, don’t mess around.”
Shen Mo followed Bai Lixin’s gaze and looked down. Indeed, at the edge of the skin beneath the white cloth, he spotted a black mark.
Shen Mo felt a bit embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly. However, he still pulled the white cloth down by a little bit, revealing just that mark.
In an instant, a copper coin mark appeared in their sight.
The mark was the size of a thumb’s nail, circular on the outside and square on the inside, with black borders and yellow coloring.
Bai Lixin glanced at Shen Mo. “Did you bring your phone? Can you take a photo of this and send it to me?”
Shen Mo took a deep breath secretly and took out his phone from his pocket. He snapped several pictures of the copper coin from different angles before asking, “Is that enough? Do you need more? Should I take pictures of something else?”
Bai Lixin didn’t respond to Shen Mo’s ramblings. He focused on the copper coin. It had fine red lines resembling runes on it and upon closer inspection, these rune patterns, though missing a few strokes, were strikingly similar to the ones on the yellow talisman from before.
Bai Lixin was about to take out the yellow talisman from his backpack to compare, when suddenly, the sound of the elevator door opening echoed from the other side of the door behind them.
Soon after, there was the sound of polished shoes stepping on the floor.
The footsteps grew nearer, accompanied by the voices of two people conversing.
“Has this corpse been reported to higher-ups?”
“It’s been reported. It’s really strange. All the organs within this corpse have calcified, and even the heart is missing.”
“It’s been dissected, yet we haven’t determined whether it’s an accident or a homicide because the body is just too peculiar.”
Bai Lixin and Shen Mo looked at each other, and the two quickly and tacitly restored the white cloth to its original position. Shen Mo scanned around the room, and immediately pulled Bai Lixin into the cabinet next to him.
With the cover of the sound of the door opening, Shen Mo softly closed the cabinet door behind him, taking advantage of the outsiders’ margin of error in perceiving his presence to hide in the cabinet with Bai Lixin in tow.
The door was pushed open, and a beam of light streamed through the crack and into the cabinet.
The cabinet was a disused clothes cabinet, with only two shabby white coats hanging inside and nothing else.
The cabinet was small, and with two grown men squeezed into it, they were practically sticking against each other.
Shen Mo’s body shivered slightly when he felt the warmth emanating from the young man’s body, His shoulder brushed against the young man’s, and he subconsciously moved a bit closer to him.
A constant stream of warm heat flowed from the young man’s body, through their clothes and onto his cold body, making him to almost let out a contented sigh.
Bai Lixin’s peripheral vision caught Shen Mo’s somewhat absorbed expression. He didn’t say anything but refocused his attention on the area outside the door crack.
At the entrance of the dissection room, two individuals in white coats entered. Through their white coats, one could faintly make out the metallic insignias and well-fitted uniforms beneath.
Both of them wore masks on their faces and latex gloves on their hands. Fully equipped, they approached the corpse and lifted the white cloth to examine it.
One of them continued, “Although this corpse is strange, its horror level is only two stars. I’ve dissected corpses much scarier than this before. There were bodies decomposed for thirty days before being discovered, infested with maggots. The smell was, well, rather exhilarating.”
“Old Liu, it’s not that I’m bragging, but this corpse ranks just one and a half stars in my book, compared to your two stars.”
“Tsk, you really know how to brag.”
“Why am I the braggart here? I’m just stating facts. I’ve dissected nearly a hundred thousand bodies.”
“Aren’t you bringing out another exaggeration? You’ve only been working for 20 years. In those 20 years, there weren’t even thirty thousand bodies with dissection conditions. If you’re bragging, at least provide data.”
“…Ah, you don’t understand. I’m using exaggeration as a rhetorical device. But let’s get back to the point, what do you think is the cause of death?”
“Speaking of the cause of death, I suddenly remembered something you interrupted earlier. I looked up Lu Dali’s medical records. This patient had a history of heart disease. His heart had early senility, and doctors predicted he wouldn’t live past 25. Yet, he went on to create a medical miracle and lived until now.”
“I remember he’s 38 this year?”
“Yes, and he seemed quite healthy.”
“Alas, the impermanence of life.”
Bai Lixin watched the outside intently, observing every movement.
Suddenly, something cool brushed against his neck.
He turned his head and saw that Shen Mo had somehow pulled his entire body against him.
Shen Mo’s arms and legs were entwined with Bai Lixin’s, and his head rested quietly on Bai Lixin’s shoulder.
That cool sensation was from Shen Mo’s chin.
Shen Mo’s face still had those black-framed glasses, however, the sharp eyes hidden beneath the lenses were now drowsy, their keenness replaced by a blurry, sleepy look.
Sensing the young man’s gaze, Shen Mo naturally pulled down his mask and flashed Bai Lixin an endearing and docile smile.
While smiling, he embraced Bai Lixin more tightly, practically curling up against him. He was just a step away from falling asleep.
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Is this snake trying to sleep here?
Are you okay?!’

[Face-palm.jpg, I’m sorry God Xin, I know I shouldn’t like the big boss, but not only does he know how to act coquettish, he’s even twisting his waist. Who can resist that?]

[No, it’s obviously snake baby.]
[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Seriously, snake baby.]
[Big boss: So fragrant and warm, I can cuddle it and sleep.]
[God Xin: Are you okay?]
—————————
Under Bai Lixin’s somewhat incredulous gaze, Shen Mo truly yawned soundlessly and closed his eyes, falling asleep.
In the narrow and dark cabinet, Bai Lixin was left alone, silently facing the trials and tribulations outside.
Bai Lixin glanced at Shen Mo’s peaceful sleeping expression with speechlessness. “…”
Indeed, the joys and sorrows of humans do not resonate with one another.
While some people contemplate how to get out of here, others have already drifted off to sleep.
Who could he reason with about this?
—“Remove the organs and send them to the laboratory for chemical analysis. Have them make some slices and see if there are any other discoveries.”
After an indeterminate amount of time, the two forensic examiners responsible for the dissection finally left.
They placed the body into a body bag on a small cart, turned off the lights, and pushed the cart away.
Once the two forensic examiners left, darkness reclaimed the outside.
Once again, everything became quiet.
Bai Lixin didn’t hurry to leave the cabinet. Shen Mo was still holding him in his arms like he was cradling a child. With just a slight tilt of his head, Bai Lixin could see Shen Mo’s smooth skin and the graceful contour of his jawline.
After falling asleep, Shen Mo was no longer restless like when he had his eyes open. He was now peaceful and quiet, his expression obedient and cute. Bai Lixin softened for a moment and couldn’t bring himself to wake him.
Another hour passed, and Bai Lixin felt his arm starting to numb. He carefully shifted his position, causing Shen Mo, who had been asleep all this time, to suddenly open his eyes.
Bai Lixin sensed the change in Shen Mo and instinctively raised his head.
When Shen Mo opened his eyes, his originally light brown human eyes had turned into a peculiar vertical slit of golden color.
Around the pupils were crystalline, translucent, multicolored patterns like a cone. In the center of the pupils, a spindle-shaped vertical slit stared fixedly at Bai Lixin.
Those eyes were filled with a primitive aura. The pupils contracted, emitting a predator’s natural killing intent.
Bai Lixin’s movements froze instantly.
While the vertical pupils stared at Bai Lixin, he too stared back at them.
After a five-second standoff, the vertical pupils blinked. When they opened again, they had returned to their original light brown color.
Shen Mo yawned and, like a large, tamed dog, rubbed his head against Bai Lixin’s fluffy hair. “Good morning, little heater.”
Bai Lixin: “?”
‘What on earth?
Little heater?
I treat you as my old gong, but you’re treating me like a bed warmer?!
Divorce, we’re getting a divorce right away!’

In the live broadcast room
[Aww, I’m melting.]
[Why doesn’t it feel strange to see this 6’3” tall giant doing cute actions like this?]
[Is it possible that it’s because he’s handsome? Handsome covers a multitude of sins. Even if he’s picking his toes, his will will look good. That’s the handsome guy filter.]
[… Let’s not talk about picking toes.]
————————–
Due to Shen Mo’s little delay, it was already past 5 p.m. when they returned to the hospital’s ground floor.
By now, the outside sky was gradually being painted red by the setting sun, and the sky itself was growing darker.
Twin-tails was still on duty at the ground floor lobby. Seeing the two approaching, she stood up eagerly and asked, “Did you find anything?”
Bai Lixin looked at the innocent smile on the girl’s face and smiled faintly. “Nothing particularly significant. We just learned about a figure called ‘Lady Yuexian.’ Do you know this title?”
Twin-tails tilted her head and furrowed her brows before her head. “I don’t know, never heard of it. Is it related to our tasj?”
Bai Lixin replied, “It probably has no direct connection to our task, but it does have something to do with my professional task on the first day.”
“Ah,” Twin-tails rubbed her cheeks, “It’s really difficult. We’ve been here for two days, and there’s no clue to the task. All we have is the clue of a black cat and an eyeball. How is this any different from finding a needle in a haystack? Not only can we not find any clues for the task, but we also have daily professional tasks we have to complete. We seem so busy, but in the end, there’s nothing to show.”
“I’m starting to feel aversion. I really want to leave this cursed place.”
Bai Lixin said, “The task has a time limit of seven days and seven nights. It’s only been two days. There’s still a chance. Don’t panic.”
Twin-tails smiled through her tears. “Okay, thanks, Bai Lixin.”
Bai Lixin asked, “What time do you finish your shift today?”
Twin Tail: “I get off at 8 p.m., then I’ll be on the night shift tomorrow, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day.”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Alright, rest well after your shift. I’ll be leaving now.”
Twin-tails: “Okay, see you later. Remember to report today’s discoveries in the group chat at 7 p.m.”
“I won’t forget,” Bai Lixin bid farewell to the girl and walked out of the hospital with Shen Mo.
Shen Mo’s car was already waiting outside, and Bai Lixin wasn’t sure when Shen Mo had arranged for them to come.
He didn’t hesitate and got into Shen Mo’s car directly.
As soon as he got in, Bai Lixin casually extended his hand toward Shen Mo. “Give me your phone.”
The driver was about to start the car when he heard this. He stepped on the brake forcefully, causing the car to jolt slightly.
The assistant nearly bumped into the windshield but fortunately, he was buckled up.
The assistant was also shocked, almost spurting out a mouthful of water.
Phone?
Things had progressed this quickly after just one afternoon?
Was this young man starting to exercise his rights already, checking his partner’s phone?
Movie King Shen, you’re the undisputed king in the entertainment industry.
For the dignity of a gong, don’t let your “wife” get a hold of you on the first day, and resolutely don’t give him your phone!
The driver and the assistant exchanged glances and simultaneously looked at the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror, the Shen Mo who was known for his aloofness took out his phone from his pocket with a smiling expression. He handed it to the young man almost indulgently.
After handing it over, he even thoughtfully added, “The password is…”
“I know,” the young man casually interrupted Shen Mo’s words and lowered his head. He quickly tapped the screen, and the sound of the phone unlocking instantly echoed through the car.
Driver: “…”
Assistant: “…”
He knows Shen Mo’s password?!
Shen Mo even gave him the phone?!
Not only did he give it to him, he was also willingly to tell him the password?!
Damn it, Shen Mo, are you planning to give this little beauty your bank card too?
What kind of bewitching potion did he give you?
Wake up, he’s just a little fox spirit!
Seemingly hearing the thoughts of the assistant and the driver, Shen Mo shifted slightly toward the young man and gently leaned his head against the young man’s, saying, “My bank card’s password is also the same.”
Assistant & Driver: “!!!”
‘Oh my god, please, someone, save Shen Mo! Shen Mo has gone mad.’
The assistant’s heart was pounding like crazy, and he used all his might to avoid turning his head rudely. His eyes didn’t dare to move away from the rearview mirror for even a moment, afraid of missing Shen Mo’s moment of madness.
With a light cough, the assistant’s voice trembled as he asked, “Sh-Sh-Shen Mo, where are we going next? Back to the set?”
Shen Mo’s eyes were as sticky as glue, as if his gaze couldn’t be moved away.
He gazed gently at the young man and didn’t even bother to lift his head. “No, we’re not going back. I remember there are a few good restaurants near the TV station. Help me reserve a private room.”
Bai Lixin was busy comparing the copper coin Shen Mo had taken pictures of with the talisman in his hand. Hearing Shen Mo’s words, he managed to divert some attention and lifted his head. “Are you treating me to a meal?”
The tenderness in Shen Mo’s eyes grew more intense. “Yes, you’ll feel warm when you’re full, and it will be even more comfortable to hold.”
‘It’ll make the hypnotic effect even better.’
The expressions of the driver and the assistant were both utterly out of control.
Their eyes widened, and they could hardly believe what they were hearing.
Full?
Warm?
Hold?
Comfortable?
What kind of words were these?
Was this the same person they knew?
Was this the Shen Mo who kept a distance from both men and women, who seemed uninterested in physical beauty, and was chaste and self-disciplined?
When Movie Queen Luo Mei, a known great beauty, pursued Shen Mo, he didn’t even cast a glance at her. That was Luo Mei, known as the “Jewel Fairy.”
The assistant’s gaze landed on the yellow talisman in Bai Lixin’s hand. Could it be that this little fairy used some bewitching trick to confuse Shen Mo?
Bai Lixin glanced at Shen Mo and casually asked, “Haven’t you gotten enough sleep?”
Shen Mo leaned against Bai Lixin with good grace. “It was only for two hours. How could that be enough?”
Bai Lixin lifted the corpse’s abdomen gently and took a look. As he had expected, Lu Dali’s heart was missing. The remaining organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys were still present, but they had all turned into stiff, gray substances.
Bai Lixin lightly tapped these organs with his index finger, resulting in a dull “thud” sound.
