Even someone as experienced as Fushimi Roku, having lived two lives, was taken aback at this moment.
The reason he kept fiddling with the wooden box was mainly because Oogami Nui's peculiar vice was quite strange, with "corpse cultivation" written on it. Coincidentally, when the assistant fetched a tool, he was nearby and sneaked a peek, discovering that the hidden compartment was just the right size to hold a corpse...
Who could resist not opening the box?
He thought he might find a Buddhist sanctified body upon opening it, or at worst, some intriguing tools for spirit communication. Who could have guessed it would be such a ghastly object.
Fushimi Roku examined it up and down, estimating it to be of the same type as the three tree men in the garden pavilion. In this light, the tree men were neither planted nor carved, but cultivated with corpses—a thought even more disgusting than before.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone exhibited different expressions.
