**Chapter 45: The Forbidden Art of Three Corpses Blocking Wealth (Part 7)**
**The Bat's Curse**
The saleswoman screamed, darting into traffic to escape the phantom bat. Pedestrians stared, mistaking her for unhinged. As she stumbled, her heel snapped. A car sped toward her—its brakes mysteriously failing. Tires crushed her legs, pinning her beneath the chassis. By the time paramedics arrived, her screams had faded to whimpers.
Li Chengfeng watched, horrified. He'd seen the bat vanish into the car, its malice guiding the wheel. *This wasn't mere bad luck.* The curse was alive, hunting.
"The *Three Corpses* isn't just blocking wealth—it's *killing*," he muttered.
Wang Bin paled. "Will more die?"
Li Chengfeng nodded grimly.

**Han Lili's Reckoning**
That night, Han Lili left the store, exhaustion etched into her face. A skeletal cat materialized, its yowl echoing from some unseen void. She cursed it away—only for the creature to reappear in her car, flickering into existence on the passenger seat.
"*Filthy stray!*" She swung a steel thermos, but the cat phased through it, leaping onto the steering wheel.
Terrified, Han Lili swerved wildly. The car careened into a奶茶店 (bubble tea shop), shattering glass and injuring patrons. When police arrived, no cat was found. Blood tests ruled out alcohol, psych evals deemed her sane. Yet her savings—including the 800,000 yuan scammed from Li Chengfeng—evaporated in赔偿 (compensation).

**The Unraveling**
Sheng Hai Jewelry descended into chaos. Employees suffered bizarre accidents; security guards quit after hearing phantom screeches of crows and bats on moonlit nights. The store shuttered indefinitely, its ruin reaching CEO Deng Sihai's ears.
