The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 326

Suddenly, in the darkness, an elderly man emerged, brandishing an iron crutch, his left shoulder noticeably higher than his right.

Before anyone could react, he had already crossed the water's surface, drawing near to the menacingly terrifying large fish.

The big fish seemed to have sensed danger.

The fish suddenly lashed out at the old man with the iron crutch with its tail.

The old man with the iron crutch's gaze hardened, and he swung his crutch through the air, striking out with it.

Bang!

The large fish let out a cry of pain, almost human-like. Then, its massive body was flung across the air, landing on the opposite side of the pond.

The elderly man with the iron crutch followed suit, raising his crutch and striking it heavily onto the head of the large fish.

Bang!

The large fish, still struggling to return to the water, had its head burst open directly. A jarring mix of white and red splattered everywhere, a sight both blinding and chilling!

Alisha covered her mouth. “This fish even have brains?”

Finnegan, however, was looking at the old man with the iron crutch, murmuring to himself, “Crutchon?”

Crutchon Quinn was one of the Ten Illustrious and Five Unparalleled in Loang.

Despite being born with a disability in his left leg, he became one of the leading figures in the martial arts of Loang, thanks to his unwavering willpower. He was ranked among the Ten Illustrious.

He was a Terra Realm cultivator of Absolute Rank.

Norman commanded in a deep voice, “Drag it over here!”

It was then that everyone finally reacted.

Celine's face turned ashen. “How could this fish be in the pond?”

Jacqueline's face turned even paler. “What kind of fish is this, exactly?”

Several of the Dunn family's elite dragged the bizarrely large fish, its head smashed open, closer. The sight was highly nauseating to everyone present.

Finnegan rose to his feet and walked over, exclaiming, “It's a Human Face Corpse Fish!”

Upon hearing that, Norman asked, “Dr. Larkin, you know what this is?”

Finnegan nodded, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly said, “This is called the Human Face Corpse Fish! It's nurtured through a combination of certain fish species that exclusively feed on rotting flesh and carrion insects. Moreover, successful breeding could only occur in cold and gloomy environments. During the day, it remains in a dormant state, only to become active at night. It is habitually violent and bloodthirsty, exuding an aura of sinister malevolence. In simple terms, it means that in the vicinity of where this fish resides, people gradually became unhealthy.”

Pointing at the willows planted all around the pond and then at the courtyard filled with sunflowers, he said, “Willow trees are of negative energy. They block the morning sun from the east. Water is also of negative energy. The combination of the two creates a suitable environment for the Human Face Corpse Fish. That's why Fleur Villa is colder than the outside. Moreover, Mdm. Yeatman's residence faces the pond, causing her to absorb negative energy directly into her body. It'll be stranger if she didn't fall ill!”

Celine anxiously said, “Isn't the presence of water and willow trees in front of the house considered the best geomancy layout for many residences?”

With a meaningful smile, Finnegan pointed to the dozen or so willows. “Could you please clear these willows as well? If I'm not mistaken, there should be something buried underneath, which is preventing the formation of the geomancy layout!”

At that moment, no one harbored any doubts about Finnegan.

With a sweeping gesture, Norman commanded, “Clear all the fish from the pond, and then uproot every willow tree for me.”

Dozens of people sprang into action. One willow tree after another fell, even being uprooted to a depth of three feet.

When they dug up the seventh tree, they finally made a discovery. “There's a box here. It looks like a coffin.”

Norman's heart sank. “Bring it here!”

A sharp-witted member of the Dunn family carried over a wooden box, measuring about sixty to seventy centimeters in length and thirty centimeters in width, and set it down.

It was shaped like a coffin.
