Based on the intensity of the deathly aura, Jiangli judged that this corpse had been dead for at least three to four years.
However, upon opening the sheet, she saw that the body inside was perfectly intact.
It was a woman, disheveled hair, wide-eyed, lying beneath.
She wore traditional clothing, suggesting she was a local villager.
But...
The clothing on her body wasn’t properly fastened, with a half-stuffed collar and a skirt that hadn’t been pulled down, as if soone had hurriedly thrown it on her.
Looking at her face again, there weren’t any visible wounds...
However, there were so strange marks on her exposed neck and arms.
Jiangli furrowed her brows, unable to determine the cause of death for the corpse.
"Is this soone from the village?" Fu Shiyan spoke upon seeing the corpse.
Jiangli gave a slight nod, "It should be. Judging by the age, she was only sixteen or seventeen. The strangest thing is, she’s been dead for quite a while, yet the body remains well-preserved without any special treatnt... It truly seems to have beco a Ghost."
Fu Shiyan frowned, "Are Ghosts hard to deal with?"
Jiangli nodded slightly, "It’s said that a single Ghost can massacre an entire city and draw nearby spirits as its minions, causing havoc together, making it challenging to deal with."
Fu Shiyan looked at her, "Will it be very dangerous?"
Jiangli, however, seed unperturbed, "Not really, at least not in front of ."
Fu Shiyan chuckled softly at her words, "Mmm, Lili is the best."
Jiangli looked at his serious expression and also felt like laughing.
But recalling that they were next to a corpse, the image of them laughing beside it seed bizarrely eerie.
Jiangli coughed lightly, "Alright, let’s leave first. Since the corpse appeared here, it proves this room is her base of operations. Sooner or later, she’ll show up; we can just wait for her."
Fu Shiyan nodded.
Jiangli and he restored everything in the room to its original state.
Before restoring the floor, Jiangli stealthily stuffed a talisman under the sheet.
With everything taken care of, she and Fu Shiyan left the room.
They left quietly and returned quietly, without alerting anyone.
Upon returning to their room, they acted as if nothing had happened.
They waited until evening before leaving the room, heading to the dining hall, appearing as if they were simply preparing for dinner after a restful day.
Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng had been on edge all day, not knowing what was happening.
Seeing them appear so relaxed, Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng felt even more uneasy.
Qing Yue and Duan Jianchuan also looked well-rested; only Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng appeared pale and anxious.
Jiangli glanced at them, thinking they still lacked the psychological endurance.
Xia Xin t Jiangli’s gaze, coughed dryly, trying to adjust his expression to seem less nervous.
Together, they headed toward the small building ahead, ready to eat.
But upon entering, just as Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, and the others were about to go to the dining room,
there was a knock at the door.
Thud, thud, thud—
Each sound was slow and deliberate.
The village head, who was accounting at the counter, heard the sound and quickly ca over to open the door.
Outside stood two young won.
Their attire was rather... trendy, even overly revealing.
The two won seed to be in their early twenties, with no luggage, wearing lace semi-transparent short dresses, revealing the clothes underneath from the lighting.
The other woman wore a crop top and ultra-short shorts, with barely enough fabric to cover the essentials.
Seeing these two, the village head was taken aback, "Who are you two?"
