Chapter 169: Chapter 30_7"We’ll get on the vehicle first, and head in the opposite direction." "Got it." Li Zhiyuan got on the tricycle and Run Sheng pedaled in another direction. After a certain distance, they turned and headed behind another residential building. "Brother Runsheng, come, let’s drape this Return Home Net over us, that way they won’t be able to see us." Run Sheng’s eyes lit up: "This thing can be used for that?" "Yeah, otherwise how would we capture the Corpse? A Corpse is so strong, a regular net would just break if they struggled, only a net they can’t see will trap them." "Really, Xiao Yuan, compared to the old tools in my grandpa’s house, what you have could be sold as scrap metal." "Don’t worry, I’ll make a set for you too." "Uh... that’s expensive, right?" "No worries, we’re going to see Mr. Shan tomorrow, then we should have the money." "My grandpa doesn’t have any money; if it wasn’t that grain and rice don’t sell well in the village, I fear that when we return home tomorrow, we might not even have food to eat." seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Let’s talk about it tomorrow, first let’s chase those two." "Okay." Thus, Run Sheng began to pedal the tricycle with renewed vigor. Some vehicles and pedestrians on the road stared in astonishment at the tricycle wrapped in the net and the two people inside. After arriving at the original spot, Run Sheng puzzledly said, "Not good, they disappeared." "They’re in front, they went towards the river." Indeed, the figures of the two people appeared near the river, they were walking downstream along the river. "Should I go down there?" "Stay on the road for now, just follow them from a distance. We’ll find a secluded place with fewer people before making a move." Following that, the two people continued walking along the riverbank while Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng followed them on the road. Gradually heading to a remote location, they turned onto a small path. "Shall we make a move, Xiao Yuan?" "Wait a bit longer, let’s see where they are really headed. These two men are just Chang ghosts; there’s someone controlling them from behind." "Is it that Mr. Jiang who controls them?" "Mr. Jiang himself was buried in the pond, who do you think buried him?" Xiao Yuan, are you saying..." "I suspect, among the three people Jiang Dongping buried, one of them has become a Corpse." Li Zhiyuan pulled out the Tai Sui Meat given by Officer Tan and continued, "This Tai Sui, there must be something wrong with it." Becoming a Corpse isn’t that easy, especially this kind that can control Chang ghosts; it’s extremely rare. Even through the plastic bag, you could smell a foul stench from the Tai Sui Meat, how anyone would dare use this as a tonic was beyond comprehension. The sky gradually darkened, dusk setting in. The two people walked into a cemetery. Run Sheng picked up a tool and continued with Li Zhiyuan, sneakily following under the net. Finally, the two stopped in front of a tombstone; they "plop" kneeled down in front of it. Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng, wrapped in the Return Home Net, hid behind the tombstone in front of the two men, one on left and one on the right, cautiously peering out from behind the tombstone to observe them. However, those two just kneeled there motionlessly, it lasted for quite a long time and the sky gradually darkened. Run Sheng looked towards Li Zhiyuan with a puzzled expression: What are they doing? Li Zhiyuan shrugged: I have no idea. Run Sheng gestured around, and then to the Yellow River Shovel in his hand: It’s very secluded here, no one’s around, we can smash them. Li Zhiyuan waved his hand in refusal and then pointed at Run Sheng’s arm. Run Sheng seemed a bit confused but when he saw Li Zhiyuan leaning closer, he still raised his arm to make him more comfortable nonetheless. Whatever the case, Xiao Yuan must have his reasons for doing this. After a while, those two kneeling in front of the tombstone still hadn’t moved, and Xiao Yuan leaning on his arm was the same. Run Sheng finally couldn’t bear it, turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan, and found Xiao Yuan with closed eyes, breathing evenly. Run Sheng was stunned: Xiao Yuan actually fell asleep? Li Zhiyuan hadn’t actually fallen asleep; he was just trying hard to doze off. In this half-asleep state, he heard the piercing wails and desperate pleas for mercy - these were the voices of Brother Leopard and Zhao Xing. He knew he had entered the state. Opening his eyes, Li Zhiyuan realized that Run Sheng, who was leaning next to him, was gone. This was normal, Run Sheng wasn’t in his dream. The wailing and pleading continued, they seemed to be undergoing terribly brutal torture. This wasn’t surprising, last time Brother Leopard and Zhao Xing came to find Grandmaster at the banquet, from what they requested, they didn’t know Jiang Dongping had already been buried alive, nor did they know the real controller behind them was actually a former victim, and very likely one personally buried alive by Brother Leopard with the surname Zhou. Li Zhiyuan slowly peeked his head out from the edge of the tombstone in front of him, carefulness in every movement. The spot where those two had been kneeling, now had no sight of them; they, like Run Sheng, didn’t exist in this dream. Continuing to shift his gaze, at the spot where the two initially kneeled, Li Zhiyuan saw Brother Leopard and Zhao Xing crouching on the ground, their bodies continuously cracking and peeling. In that instant, Li Zhiyuan froze, chilled to the core. Because he and Run Sheng previously couldn’t see the ’dirty things’, they had naturally assumed those two were performing a kneeling ritual towards the tombstone in front of them. In reality, those two were just possessed vessels. They were actually ’shoes’ that had been utilized and removed after being brought here. When shoes aren’t worn on feet, the direction pointed by shoe tips no longer represents the direction of people. Now, the direction in which Brother Leopard and Zhao Xing were kneeling and wailing was towards the tombstone in front of them! And he and Run Sheng had been hiding behind this tombstone for a long time. Li Zhiyuan slowly lowered his head; he saw a very long shadow stretching out from under his own feet. Obviously, he wasn’t that tall, so this shadow couldn’t possibly be his. Therefore, It, had always been standing behind him and Run Sheng.
