Inside the Burning furnace, dozens of high-temperature flame nozzles spewed out azure blue flames, directly spraying onto Ren Jie.
The clothes he was wearing turned to ash in a few seconds.
However, what was strange was that Ren Jie's body was not burned by the thousand-degree flames; he was completely unharmed.
Even Sun Wukong in Taishang Laojun's Pill Furnace wasn't this comfortable, right?
Scarlet demon patterns, red as blood, began to grow from Ren Jie's chest, covering his entire body.
The demon patterns resembled fiery cloud patterns, flamboyant and wild!
Those fiery cloud patterns actually began to absorb the flames from the Burning furnace, repairing Ren Jie's injuries, healing his wounds, and reconstructing his bones.
His heart even began to beat again.
"Thump... thump... thump..."
Half an hour passed, and the atmosphere in the cremation room was still heavy, with occasional sobs!
Wei Pingsheng stared straight at the ceiling, yellow smoke rising from the cigarette butt in his hand, almost Burning his fingers without him noticing...
At this moment, the cremation staff member was stunned, looking at the Burning furnace panel in amazement!
"What's going on? Why isn't it Burning away?"
Half an hour of thousand-degree flame Burning would melt even steel and iron into molten metal; a normal corpse would have carbonized long ago!
But the sensor showed it was still there?
Immediately, a team member said impatiently, "Isn't it done yet? Can you guys even do this?"
The staff member glared, "Bah! I've cremated more people than you've eaten meals! You can question me, but you can't question Zheng Ying's professionalism!"
Tian Yu rubbed his eyes:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷̥́～ก̀) "Hey~ Brother Jie bravely sacrificed himself to save someone, so that counts as great Karma, right?"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Legend has it that those with great Karma achieve an indestructible golden body after death, their corpses remaining uncorrupted for a thousand years."
"Do you think Brother Jie's cremation can produce two catties of sarira?"
Wei Pingsheng glared, stood up, and gave Tian Yu a big slap on the back of his head.
"What sarira? What, you want to string them up and play with them?"
Zheng Ying was also anxious; the money had been collected, and the one-stop cremation service couldn't go wrong, could it?
He immediately increased the firepower, running the Burning furnace at full power.
But just then, a faint knocking sound came...
"Thump~ thump~ thump~"
In the quiet cremation room, everyone's eyes widened, their faces pale.
Where was the knocking coming from? No one had moved, was it just an auditory hallucination?
Or was it...
Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on the Burning furnace...
"Thump!"
A louder knocking sound came, and the Burning furnace door seemed to tremble with it.
Everyone's faces turned even paler, confirming it; the sound was indeed coming from inside the Burning furnace, damn it.
Jiang Jiuli's eyes were also wide at this moment.
It was the first time she had seen something so bizarre.
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Zheng Ying's forehead.
Having done this job for so many years, he'd seen some strange things, but this was the first time he'd seen something this bizarre!
Over a thousand degrees inside the Burning furnace, only dead people were inside, and it had been Burning for half an hour; where would a knocking sound come from?
Tian Yu, his face pale, said with a trembling voice:
(٥ŏ﹏ŏ) "You... you guys think Brother Jie died unjustly, and his vengeful spirit won't disperse, that's why..."
Wei Pingsheng's scalp was also tingling at this moment:
"Nonsense! We must believe in science!"
Jiang Jiuli became even sadder, unconsciously biting her lower lip tightly.
Zheng Ying swallowed, muttering:
"Believe in science! Must believe in science!"
He directly pulled out a yellow Daoist robe from a nearby box and put it on, holding a peach wood sword in one hand and a soul-Requiem bell in the other!
With a Bagua mirror and a black donkey hoof tucked into his waist, he violently shook the bell at the Burning furnace door, swung the peach wood sword wildly, and chanted incantations!
"Wrongs have their source, debts have their owner, departed souls return to the underworld. I, surnamed Zheng, appointed by the heavens, ghosts and gods descend to the capital, devouring ghosts and swallowing demons, peace in all directions. I invite the Namo Gatling Bodhisattva to bestow blessings and display divine power!"
"Taishang Laojun, by urgent decree, burn him for me!"
Everyone watched, their mouths twitching. This guy was indeed professional, but he seemed to have learned a bit of everything, didn't he?
Even Jiang Jiuli's brows furrowed.
The next moment, a thunderous boom sounded, and the steel door of the Burning furnace instantly deformed.
The entire steel door was directly blown away by a huge impact!
Crimson flames erupted from the Burning furnace opening like a volcanic eruption, pushing the blown-away steel door.
Then came a "clang"!
The twisted steel door directly slammed into the wall of the cremation room, scaring Zheng Ying into clutching his head and falling to the ground, screaming.
"Ah ah ah! Don't take my dog's life!"
The room rapidly heated up due to the gushing flames, and to everyone's shocked gazes.
A naked Ren Jie walked out of the Burning furnace.
Flames blazed around him, crimson fiery cloud patterns covered his entire body, and on his head, two demon horns made entirely of flames shot skyward!
At this moment, Ren Jie was like an unparalleled monarch stepping out of the flames!
His eyes were crimson, and a wild, unrestrained smile played on his lips.
"Is there a doctor here?"
"I think I can still be saved!"
At this moment, everyone in the cremation room was dumbfounded, looking at Ren, who had climbed out of the Burning furnace, with disbelief!
୧(ଵmouthଵ|||)୨ "G-ghost~"
Zheng Ying was so scared he peed his pants, throwing his peach wood sword and soul-Requiem bell, clutching his head, and running away!
Wei Pingsheng's eyes widened, he choked on a mouthful of smoke, clutched his chest, and coughed violently, his eyes filled with horror.
Xiao Ming cried even louder; his mother was also scared to tears this time.
Tian Yu's face was ashen.
Damn!
This was truly seeing a ghost; a living person climbed out of the Burning furnace, hey!
Burned at over a thousand degrees for half an hour and not dead?
Is he human?
What's going on?
Brother Jie was just 'cold' a moment ago, wasn't he? I saw it with my own eyes!
This, this, this...
Jiang Jiuli also opened her small mouth wide, the scene before her even making her forget to breathe!
What's going on?
Did he unexpectedly Awaken as a Gene Warrior at a life-or-death moment?
Her gaze involuntarily moved towards Ren.
Then her eyes widened, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
She let out a small 'tsk' and turned to leave.
Ah ah ah! What did she just see?
He, he, he...
Hiss~
As she walked, she pulled out her phone!
"Hello... Sister Nuo Yan? I have something to ask of you. The specific situation is..."
Jiang Jiuli walked and talked, like a startled rabbit, quickly fleeing the scene.
Ren Jie only saw Jiang Jiuli's departing back.
He felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity...
Ah! Dog-Head Woman!
He was killed by her!
She came too?
Wei Pingsheng and the others finally recovered from their shock.
They quickly rushed forward to support Ren Jie.
At this moment, the fiery cloud patterns and demon horns on Ren Jie's body also receded, returning to normal...
However, his left arm was still empty, and the severed arm was even still bleeding!
After Demonization, the fiery cloud patterns could use the power of flames to repair his own injuries, but his arm had been cut off, there was no base left, so what was there to repair?
Rebirth of a severed limb?
Ren Jie didn't have that ability yet.
"What exactly is going on? You..."
Ren Jie touched his nose: "Maybe I unlocked my Gene Lock and became a Gene Warrior?"
Ren Jie didn't mention the demon tree incident, after all, it was too shocking.
He was completely dazed at the moment, so he just casually found an excuse to gloss over it.
Wei Pingsheng felt a rush of blood to his head, his face flushed:
"Good! Excellent! You're really lucky, kid. Fire ability? It should be an ancient bloodline type!"
"It seems you won't need that Gene potion for your official promotion!"
"But your arm..."
Ren Jie's mouth twitched. Was he going to live a life of 'over over over over over'?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps!
The director of Jin City People's Hospital, along with a team of doctors and nurses, rushed over!
The young nurses, upon seeing Ren Jie, all blushed and screamed!
Although they had seen a lot, they had never seen anything quite this 'big'!
What kind of special student was this?
"Quick! Quickly stop the bleeding for this young man!"
A group of doctors rushed over to stop the bleeding from Ren Jie's severed arm, then lifted him onto a transfer vehicle and covered him with a blanket!
The director enthusiastically grasped Ren Jie's hand: "I apologize for the trouble, young man. You know the high-level executives of Huatian Group? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Quick! Get him into the ambulance for transfer, don't miss the best time for surgery!"
Ren Jie frowned: "Huatian Group executives? Transfer? To where?"
The director said enthusiastically: "Of course, to install an arm?"
Ren Jie: ???
"Install an arm? Didn't I just show off?"
Director: (≖_≖)...
"It's to Jin City Huatian Biological Laboratory. They just called and want to install a bionic arm for you!"
Ren Jie: (˵¯͒0¯͒) Oh, really?
