Chapter 60 Yearning
Bai Yanliang’s words caused the three to be taken aback, not quite understanding his meaning.
However, they saw Bai Yanliang continue to say, "Just now, I checked the wound. His heart wound was caused by a blade, the opening wasn’t large, killed in one strike. The opponent had a steady hand, very skilled."
Speaking up to this point, he paused and then said, "And the abdominal wound, perhaps because of being pecked by crows, appeared very irregular, as if... it was torn open by a huge claw."
Bai Yanliang’s words sparked terrifying associations for the three, and just as it began affecting their emotions, they quickly interrupted the images in their minds.
"No matter what, I think... we need to investigate how many people have died in this village," Yu Hanzhou said.
"And one more thing, what about Fourth Li, the villager seen alive yesterday? In just one day, it’s impossible for him to decay to this extent," Lin Yan said with a frown.
"Could it be... like in Mr. Bai’s last mission, the ghost has the ability to disguise itself as others?" Su Qian speculated.
The group fell silent.
Apart from that encounter with the door of Lu Rendong’s room, Bai Yanliang hadn’t experienced any supernatural phenomena, so he couldn’t guess either.
"Let’s keep observing, everyone must be careful..." Yu Hanzhou said, pinching his nose wearily. The consecutive Fog Gathering tasks were wearing him out.
What worried him more was a rule they’d previously summarized: the person who became a resentful would skip their next task automatically. This rule... had been broken.
