Is this what a zombie is?

41. Where is your sincerity?

"I need to know what you want the Resurrection Incense for."

"Also, I need to know everything you know about the Resurrection Incense."

Uncle Chen's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed. He knew very well that the other party was just like him; if they couldn't control their desires, they would be controlled by others.

The other party's desires are no longer as simple as greed.

So in the end, desire prevailed. He took a deep breath, as if resigned to his fate, and slowly opened his mouth.

He was originally a sorcerer from Southeast Asia. He learned about the existence of the Resurrection Incense from an ancient book he obtained by chance. The book recorded that this substance had the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones.

From that moment on, he devoted his entire life to pursuing it.

More than 30 years ago, he finally tracked down the clues and focused his attention on the area where Blackrock Prison was located.

He lived here for a long time and gradually figured out some of the patterns.

"The sound of the bell is the key to activate it; the best time is at midnight, when yin and yang intersect."

Uncle Chen revealed the patterns he had summarized over many years.

Jiang Chen listened expressionlessly, but inwardly he was sneering.

The old man didn't tell the truth. This rule isn't entirely wrong, but it's only about 30% true.

The sound of the bell is merely a trigger, a catalyst; what truly activates the resurrection incense is specific conditions, not a fixed time.

"As for why I want to obtain the Resurrection Incense, the reason is simple: I want to prolong my life."

The claim of extending his life is likely true, but Jiang Chen doesn't actually care about his motives.

He didn't expose Uncle Chen's lie, but instead asked a more crucial question.

"How old are you exactly this year?"

Uncle Chen remained silent and did not want to answer the question.

"Don't come with me, my age is a secret, we have to keep that a secret."

"One hundred and seven years old."

107. Although he was somewhat prepared, the number still shocked Jiang Chen.

He's a centenarian, a true centenarian!

But the old man in front of me, Mr. Chen, doesn't look a hundred years old at all, since he's paid social security contributions and hasn't even reached retirement age yet.

Therefore, "Uncle Chen" is not an original product.

Chen Bo was merely a vessel that had been possessed or had its soul swapped using some kind of secret technique.

Even without a substitute, if I were to risk everything and forcibly kill him now, it would only destroy an empty shell.

As expected of an old monster who has lived for over a hundred years, he is really not easy to deal with.

In order to extract more information from this old monster, Jiang Chen decided to continue probing.

"You've been searching for the Resurrection Incense for thirty years, haven't you ever seen anyone else who has used it to prolong their life?"

"Of course I've seen it."

"Your mentor's wife, wasn't she kept alive by the lingering scent of incense? But she wasn't as lucky as you. She was just a mindless, rotting corpse, locked away forever in the basement by your mentor."

"To be honest, I only noticed you because of your advisor."

"I just didn't expect that you would have a piece of the Resurrection Incense on you, and that you could still be alive and kicking because of it."

These words contain a wealth of information.

It was like a thread that completely connected its mentor and the organ trafficking organization.

Anger surged in Jiang Chen's chest. He never imagined that his mentor was connected to an organ trafficking organization.

After a brief moment of anger, Jiang Chen astutely grasped the key point.

"Incomplete... So, the prison part is complete?"

Chen Bo looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes burning with greed that he could no longer conceal.

"The one your mentor used on his wife was incomplete and ineffective; it couldn't even preserve her body from decay."

"This part of your body is also incomplete, but you can move like a living person, just not truly alive. However, thanks to this characteristic of having died and then come back to life, you are immune to my death curse and corpse curse."

As Chen Bo spoke, he became more and more excited, even ecstatic. The thing he had been searching for for many years was about to be fulfilled. No matter how shrewd and composed he was, he could not control his excitement at this moment.

"You are all incomplete; your power is insufficient to resurrect a person."

"But what lies beneath this prison..."

"But it's complete!"

The complete resurrection incense!

These six words unveiled the mystery that had been obscured by Jiang Chen.

The Resurrection Incense is a magical substance; its fragrance can be smelled for hundreds of miles, and even corpses on the ground will come back to life upon smelling its aroma.

The earliest record of the legend of the Resurrection Incense dates back to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, when the Yuezhi Kingdom in the Western Regions presented three pieces of Resurrection Incense as tribute.

It is as large as a swallow's egg and as black as a mulberry. It is said that if you burn this incense, the sick will get up as soon as they smell it, and those who have been dead for less than three days will be revived if they are fumigated with it.

Jiang Chen had always thought that the three pieces he was looking for were three fragments.

But now that I look at it, it's not like that at all. The one on his body is a combination of two fragments, and his mentor should also have a fragment.

Besides these, there are two more, the prison one is complete.

Only a complete Resurrection Incense can spread its fragrance for hundreds of miles. He had always overlooked this information, and only now, after being awakened, did he suddenly realize its significance.

Jiang Chen was so angry he wanted to curse.

Oh, Cat Master, such important information, it didn't mention a word about it, it never told me before.

"I have shown you my sincerity."

Chen Botu revealed his true intentions, his cold gaze falling once again on Jiang Chen.

"Now, it's your turn."

"Where is your sincerity?"

What do you want?

He presented an extremely vicious pledge of allegiance.

"I'm going to kill that blind lawyer. He's been getting in the way for three years; he should have died long ago."

"Kill him, prove your stance to me, and only then will our cooperation truly begin."

The air in the office instantly dropped to freezing point.

Jiang Chen fell silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

He glanced up casually, his gaze sweeping over the ventilation openings in the ceiling.

In that darkness, a pair of emerald green eyes quietly opened, blinked at him, then quickly closed again and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Chen understood immediately.

He lowered his head, and when he raised it again, a greedy smile was on his face.

"Kill him, that's fine."

"But I want half of the dirty money you make from organ trafficking."

Uncle Chen was taken aback. "The original you had no interest in this dirty money."

"But I have it now. After all, I was sentenced to ten years in prison to get this Soul-Returning Incense. Even if I survive and get out of prison, I don't have much of a future, do I? I have to make plans for the future."

"Hahaha...Good, very good!"

"It seems you've grown from dying once. That's just how people are; there's nothing they won't do to survive or for money."

Uncle Chen readily agreed.

"As long as you kill him, the money is yours, and you can use the Resurrection Incense first."
