Chapter 336: Chapter 208: Big-mouthed Monster Baby_3Qing Feng carefully placed the ashes of the tongue and the teeth into the Bone Bottle. The inscriptions on the Bone Bottle shimmered with a golden glow, completing the seal. ... Jiao Fang Bureau No. 79 was a silver shop, with a hanging sign that read "Ming’s Silver Shop." The shop’s entrance was sealed with a strip of paper. Li Chengfeng explained to Zhou Xuan, "Young Master, the case of the baby devouring people happened this morning." "Mm." Zhou Xuan tore off the seal and instructed, "When I search for inspiration, I like to enter a light sleep and dislike being disturbed. Wait for me outside, and no one is allowed to come in." Since he had arrived at the scene, Zhou Xuan intended to use the Wash Away Injustice Talisman to enter the gap in time and space, returning to the moment of the crime to observe how that tongue object manipulated a newborn baby to commit a gruesome crime. Since it involved the Wash Away Injustice Talisman, Zhou Xuan obviously did not want anyone to discover this secret. Fortunately, Li Chengfeng was entirely trustworthy. With him around, Qing Feng and the other night watchmen would be blocked from entering. "Don’t worry, Young Master, no one will disturb you," Li Chengfeng assured him. Zhou Xuan nodded, took the Wind Lamp from Zhang Yifeng’s hands, opened the door to the shop, stepped inside, and closed the door again behind him. He began inspecting the shop. The shop had three floors, with the first floor dedicated to the silver business, while the second and third floors contained rooms. The strongest smell of blood was on the third floor—clearly, the baby-devouring tragedy had taken place here. Zhou Xuan pulled out the Wash Away Injustice Talisman, unscrewed the cap of a pen, and wrote in the talismanic script: Mingjiang Prefecture, Ming’s Silver Shop, September 7th, 9 a.m. As soon as he penned the time, a burst of white light appeared before his eyes, and he traveled back in time. On the third floor, Zhou Xuan saw the floor covered in blood—there were no bodies nor any trace of the baby. "At 9 a.m., the baby had already committed the crime. I’ll need to rewind time further," he muttered. Li Chengfeng and the others only knew the crime happened in the morning, but exactly how early, they were unsure. Zhou Xuan could only try hour by hour to pinpoint the exact moment of the incident. He stepped to the edge of the temporal void, shattered the spatial boundary, returned to the present, and then pulled out the Washing Guilt Talisman Book again. This time, he wrote: Mingjiang Prefecture, Ming’s Silver Shop, September 7th, 8 a.m. Upon finalizing the time, white light reappeared, and Zhou Xuan rewound time an hour earlier than his first attempt. This time, the gruesome crime had not yet occurred. Standing at the door of a bedroom on the third floor, he saw a young man and an elderly man outside the door. "Dad, Aunt Li has been in there so long. Why hasn’t she finished yet?" "Be patient! Childbirth isn’t something to rush." The old man was the baby’s grandfather, while the younger man was its father. Zhou Xuan walked into the bedroom. The temporal void that appeared wasn’t true reality but a manifestation of past events. Without any hindrance, Zhou Xuan passed through the firmly closed bedroom door and saw the scene inside. Aunt Li was helping the baby’s mother give birth, but the baby hadn’t been successfully delivered yet. Zhou Xuan waited in the room. After about ten minutes, a piercing cry broke the silence as Aunt Li cut the umbilical cord, tied it, and then held up a baby covered in blood. "It’s born, it’s born! A big, healthy boy!" From behind the door, Aunt Li called joyfully to those outside. "Let me clean up the baby and his mother, then I’ll bring him out for you to see. Just wait a little longer." Aunt Li was an experienced midwife, and her skillful hands confirmed it. She held the baby in one arm while pouring boiling water from a kettle into a copper basin with the other. The copper basin already held one-third cool water, and when mixed with the boiling water, the temperature quickly became suitable. She grabbed a towel, dipped it into the water, and cleaned the blood off the baby, wrapped him snugly in a pre-prepared swaddle, and placed him by the side of the exhausted mother. She then wrung out the towel and began to clean the mother herself. The labor had been incredibly arduous, leaving the mother utterly drained. She glanced at her newborn with joy but quickly slipped into a peaceful slumber. Meanwhile, Aunt Li focused entirely on her cleaning task. Neither of them noticed the baby was beginning to move in the swaddle. The infant quietly slipped out of the swaddle, reached its tiny hand to its belly, and clawed at its abdomen. Suddenly, a "tongue" emerged from its stomach. The tongue wriggled twice before revealing a hole. From the hole, teeth began to fall out one by one. The baby picked up the teeth and began embedding them into its tender little mouth. After inserting the first tooth, its mouth grew larger, and dark, vein-like patterns appeared across its body. By the time it had inserted the seventh or eighth tooth, its mouth had morphed into a massive maw, almost covering half of its face. At this moment, Aunt Li finished cleaning the mother and looked up as she wiped the sweat from her brow. That was when she finally saw the "Big-mouthed Monster Baby." Stunned, she leapt back, instinctively rushing for the door. After taking several steps, she remembered to shout, "Something’s wrong! The baby—!" Before she could finish her sentence, the baby leapt onto her back, opened its massive mouth, and bit into the nape of her neck. With a single bite, it nearly severed her neck entirely, leaving her head dangling forward, connected only by the skin at the front of her throat. "Thud!" Aunt Li’s lifeless body crumpled to the floor. The Big-mouthed Monster Baby then jumped onto the bed and bit into the sleeping mother’s neck. At this moment, the door burst open. Hearing Aunt Li’s cries, the father and grandfather, who only knew something was amiss inside, rushed in. As soon as they entered, they were petrified by the horrifying sight within the room.
