The next day, Xin Tian woke up, washed up, and walked to the dining table on the first floor. Ye Mengjin should have woken up not long ago and was currently eating.
"You're awake. I've prepared everything for you.”Ye Mengjin gestured at the breakfast opposite her.
"Alright." Xin Tian responded and sat opposite Ye Mengjin.
"Oh right, there's work." Ye Mengjin's expression was very strange when she mentioned this.
Glancing at Ye Mengjin, Xin Tian saw the change in Ye Mengjin's expression. He took a bite of the fried egg and said in confusion,"What's different about this job?”
Ye Mengjin shook her head and deliberated for a moment before saying,""This job is done by an acquaintance."
"Acquaintance?"
Xin Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Liu Long."
Ye Mengjin said the name of the client.
"Who are you talking about? Liu Long?"
Xin Tian's expression became stunned.
Didn't he just settle Liu Long's matter yesterday? Did he entrust it again?
In other words, he encountered an undead again?
Thinking of what he said to Liu Long yesterday, Xin Tian fell into deep thought.
When did he become so accurate?
Are you sure it's Liu Long?" Xin Tian confirmed it again. If it wasn't for his good hearing, he would have thought that he had misheard.
"Yes, Liu Long."
This was the reason why Ye Mengjin's expression was strange. When Liu Long called him, Ye Mengjin was also confused. He didn't expect Liu Long to call him again.
“......”
Xin Tian immediately fell into deep thought.
Previously, it was the piano. What was going on with Liu Long this time?
"I'll meet him after breakfast.”
"Alright."
.........
"Mr. Liu, we meet again."
In the private room of the cafe, Xin Tian and Liu Long shook hands.
“......”
Liu Long smiled awkwardly but politely.
After some small talk, Xin Tian and the other two sat down." Mr. Liu, tell us about what happened this time."”
Liu Long sighed and slowly explained," It's like this. After the two of you left yesterday, I was a little emotional about this incident, so I wanted to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives." Speaking of this, Liu Long seemed to have recalled something terrifying and immediately shivered.
"Continue."
Xin Tian placed the steaming hot tea in front of Liu Long and comforted him.
Liu Long took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued," When I got home this time, I realized that the people in the village seemed to have become strange. My parents were the same. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found my parents looking at me through the crack in the door. I was so scared that my scalp went numb.”
"When my parents saw that I was awake, they stopped peeking and went back. However, I couldn't sleep even if they left. Two pairs of eyes in the middle of the night were too scary. In the end, because I couldn't sleep, I heard an unbelievable conversation. My parents were actually discussing how to eat me in the living room.”
Liu Long's eyes were filled with fear, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Not to mention Liu Long, even Ye Mengjin, who was listening at the side, felt a chill run down her spine. If they were in their shoes, no one would be able to stay calm when they encountered such a situation.
"What happened after that?" Xin Tian said calmly.
" After that," Liu Long paused," I was so scared that I hid under the blanket and felt uneasy for the whole night, but nothing happened. I thought I was dreaming until I saw..."
As he spoke, Liu Long pulled up his left sleeve, and a black palm print appeared on his arm.
"Hmm?"
Xin Tian's eyes narrowed. Through his eyes, Xin Tian could see the cold aura emitted by this handprint.
The aura of the undead!
"This is the mark left behind when a child grabbed my arm when I entered the village. How could there be such a mark normally? So I knew that I wasn't dreaming. Everything that happened at night was real. After that, I was so scared that I quickly ran back to contact the two of you.”
Liu Long shuddered. Even though he was no longer there, he still felt a lingering fear.
"Wait a moment."
As he spoke, Xin Tian placed his palm on Liu Long's arm. He circulated his Qi and blood, and instantly, a scorching aura bloomed from Xin Tian's palm. Endless Qi and blood surged, and there was a faint sound of crashing waves. In an instant, the sound of corrosion sounded, and wisps of black fog emitted from the area covered by Xin Tian's palm.
"This, this is…"
Liu Long stuttered.
"You guessed right. The one who left the handprint is not a human, but a ghost. This handprint is a kind of mark that contains the power of the undead. If you don't solve it, your body will be corroded by this power in less than three days until your body decays and dies. Perhaps this is why you can leave that village. The things there probably think that you will die even if you leave the village.”
Xin Tian slowly retracted his hand with a calm expression. The black handprint on Liu Long's arm had already disappeared under Xin Tian's Qi and blood.
