“Oh? Is that so?” After listening to Wu Haoming, Chi Shuyan followed him to the living room to take a look at that ‘thing.’ Xiao Shan watched seriously from the side, not daring to let down his guard at all.

If one didn’t take this ‘thing’ seriously, they could really die.

Xiao Shan was still a little afraid. Hearing Old Wu and Master Chi at the door, he relaxed a little. When Master Chi followed Old Wu in, Xiao Shan heaved a sigh of relief and called out, “Sister-in-law!”

Chi Shuyan nodded at Xiao Shan, then focused on the ‘villager’ who had a talisman stuck on him. At that moment, this villager couldn’t be considered a person at all. He didn’t move at all, as if he were dead.

At that moment, Xiao Shan said, “Sister-in-law, he’s indeed dead.” He had dealt with some forensic experts before while investigating cases, so he knew some things. “This person’s limbs are stiff and cold, but his body doesn’t show any signs of livor mortis. He must have died not long ago!”

After listening to Xiao Shan, Wu Haoming became even more baffled and said, “Sister-in-law, I did see this person during the day. I think it was around 5 or 6pm.” After saying this, Wu Haoming looked at his watch and continued, “It’s only 7.30pm. Could it be that something happened to this person during this period, and he immediately turned into a corpse?”

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan only had a bit of experience with forensics, and they didn’t know anything about the changes in a corpse. They could only look at Master Chi.

At the same time, the two of them thought of the cases they had solved in the past. They hadn’t believed in ghosts and gods back then. Whenever there was a homicide case, they would visit the morgue, where countless bodies were kept. They hadn’t thought much of it back then, but now that they learned that someone could turn into a corpse just like that, their hearts turned cold and they were incomparably glad that they had been able to survive until now.

If they had never met Master Chi before this, they would have died long ago.

Thinking this, the two cringed and lingering fear flashed in their eyes.

Chi Shuyan’s attention was all on the ‘corpse’ in front of her, and she didn’t notice anything strange about the two people next to her. However, after staring for a long time, she couldn’t see anything else, and even ruled out the possibility of possession.

As for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s guess about an ‘unexpected corpse transformation,’ she felt that it wasn’t that simple!

Chi Shuyan refused to believe it. She placed her hand on the other party’s arm, wrist and chest. Sure enough, she couldn’t detect a heartbeat nor a pulse. His entire body was cold, and completely resembled a dead person.

For some reason, as she stared at the ‘corpse’ in front of her, the image of the beautiful boy she had met on the road with Xu Tong today suddenly flashed through her mind.

Some of the boy’s symptoms were exactly the same as that of the ‘person’ in front of her. There was no heartbeat or pulse, and he was like a dead person. The only difference was that the boy had his own mind and thoughts during the day; ignoring the lack of a pulse and heartbeat, he was completely normal.

The villager in front of her, on the other hand, had no thoughts or mind of his own; he was more like the walking dead.

The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more puzzled and apprehensive she became. There was no direct connection between the two, but she felt like she was missing something.

She had originally planned to deal with this ‘thing’ immediately, but she was a little hesitant now.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan saw the doubt in Master Chi’s eyes and didn’t know what she was feeling puzzled about. The two didn’t think much of it and just asked, “Sister-in-law, should we inform the other villagers and the village chief about this?”

In the end, this mountain village was someone else’s territory. This villager had died and turned into a corpse; the two of them were worried that someone would blame them for his unexpected death. If that happened, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves clearly, and things would become even more troublesome.

Seeing that Master Chi didn’t react for a long time, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan asked again, and Master Chi said, “Don’t let anyone know yet. Find an empty room and keep him isolated for now. We’ll talk about it tomorrow!”

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s eyes widened when they heard this, not understanding what Master Chi was doing.

Wu Haoming felt that it was better to tell the villagers about this as soon as possible and draw a clear line between them. If they found out later, they would be even more suspicious.

Wu Haoming gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but want to say a few words, but Xiao Shan elbowed him to obediently shut up.

In Xiao Shan’s opinion, whatever Master Chi said was right. In any case, he believed her.

Chi Shuyan didn’t tell the two of them her suspicions. After all, she still hadn’t figured out what was going on. Staring at the motionless ‘corpse’ in front of her, she had a vague guess in her heart. Forget it, they would talk about it after she confirmed her guess.

Before Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan moved the body, she instructed them not to accidentally tear off the talisman stuck to the man.

Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences!

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming hurriedly replied, “Okay!”

After this incident, Chi Shuyan couldn’t sit still in her room. She arranged for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to take care of the body, and told them to take good care of Brother Feng, before she went out.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were still a little worried. “Sister-in-law, are you going out again? President Qi… isn’t back yet? Did something happen?”

Chi Shuyan had been focused on the strange things in the village recently and really hadn’t paid attention to Qi Zhenbai’s movements. When she suddenly heard their words, she was a little stumped and immediately felt a little worried. However, she thought of how that man was enveloped in purple aura – ordinary or even more profound things wouldn’t dare do anything to him. Besides, that man had a lot of treasures on him, such as the thousand-year-old bodhi bracelet that he never took off. Thinking this, she relaxed a little and nodded at the other two. “I’m going out for a while!”

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming thought that Master Chi was worried about President Qi, so they immediately nodded. Before she went out, the two of them told her to come back as soon as possible.

Chi Shuyan knew that the two of them were worried about her, so she nodded. “Got it!”

After leaving the house, Chi Shuyan walked down the dirt road in the mountain village. This place was completely different from the tall buildings and bright lights of the city.

She stood on the dirt road and looked up. It was almost pitch-black everywhere, and there were only a few dim yellow lights every now and then from the windows of houses along the road.

She walked for a long while. The entire village felt quiet and eerie at that moment.

She realized that when night was about to fall, all the houses in the village shut their doors. No one appeared outside to wander around or shop, which made the entire village seem strangely quiet.

Chi Shuyan wandered around. For some reason, she couldn’t help but walk in the direction the little boy had pointed out before, until she reached a door.

It was very dark outside, and the door was closed. Chi Shuyan stood motionless outside. The door and stone wall blocked her sight, so she couldn’t see inside at all.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, took out an Invisibility Talisman, stuck it on herself, and went inside.

It was dark outside, but there was a dim yellow light in the simple courtyard inside. She glanced around and could tell that this residence was simpler than any other house in the village.

The outer walls were made of blue brick and stone, and the rooms inside were all made from wood. The place looked dilapidated and old.

Chi Shuyan actually didn’t quite understand why she had suddenly come here – it had just been an impulse. After what happened with Yang Kun tonight, she felt more and more that there was more to this village than met the eye. She felt that there was a huge secret in this village.

As for what the secret was, she couldn’t figure it out for now. However, her intuition told her that the longer she stayed in the village, the more disadvantageous it would be. At the same time, she felt even more uneasy.

This uneasiness even exceeded other dangers she had encountered in her past life.

After examining the place, Chi Shuyan saw that there was no one in the courtyard. She was about to choose a room to investigate, when she heard a cough at the door.

From the sound of the cough, it should be a woman. Chi Shuyan listened to the person inside cough for a while. Not only didn’t she stop, she coughed even more.

The more she coughed, the more intense it got, like she was about to cough her lungs out.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes narrowed. The door creaked open, and an old woman with white hair came out holding a child by the hand. Who else could it be, but the shy and beautiful boy from last time?

It was just that at that moment, Chi Shuyan could clearly see that the beautiful boy looked dazed and unlike his animated appearance during the day. His face was deathly white, just like the ‘corpse’ of the villager. It was a little cold at night.

The old woman next to him, on the other hand, looked very normal; with one glance, Chi Shuyan could tell that she was an ordinary person.

Her eyes grew more and more puzzled, and she stood still. Not far away, she heard the old woman cough faintly and weakly. “Ranran, are you happy that Mom will take you out of the village in a few days?”
