"Brother Chen, don't you feel like something's off about this road?"

Old Dao walked behind me, tugged at my sleeve, and asked me in a low voice.

His hands were sweaty; the path was creepy.

Not only Lao Dao, but the ants next to him were almost scared to death.

"There is definitely a problem. Didn't you detect it during your investigation?"

I lowered my voice and said, "Today I sent Ant and Old Knife to investigate. When they came back, they told me that they had investigated almost everything."

"Yes, that's why I find it strange. There was no such road when we surveyed it!"

"Brother Chen, when Brother Dao and I came here, this was clearly a dead end!"

The ant approached me and spoke with a frightened expression.

Just as I expected!

This seems similar to being trapped in a maze.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of, Master Chen!”

"You've overcome those challenges, so this is nothing for you. Don't worry, our master, mistress, and young lady are all doing very well!"

Lin Da seemed to have heard our conversation, turned around, and smiled at me.

That smile sent chills down my spine, and I had no idea what Lin Da meant.

I can't tell whether he's a friend or foe now, but I have no way out.

"I told you we wouldn't harm you, Master Chen. If we wanted to make a move, we wouldn't have waited until now!"

Seeing that the three of us were still hesitating, Lin Da said helplessly.

I nodded slightly. Lin Da was right. If he really wanted to take action, he could have started long ago. There was no need to wait until now.

Therefore, I boldly guess that Lin Da must have some other ideas, or rather, he is plotting something.

But at least there's some good news: the three of us are still alive.

I carefully observed the arrangement of the candles and was horrified to find that the arrangement was almost exactly the same as the previous necromancer array.

"Old Dao, look at how these candles are arranged!"

I pinched a knife and gestured for him to look at the candles. The old knife glanced at them and almost cried out.

Looks like this kid recognized him.

"It's always better to be careful!"

I lowered my voice and told Lao Dao and Ant to be careful.

Through my third eye, I suddenly discovered that the vitality within both the old knife and the ants was constantly increasing!

With each step we take, the candles dim a little more.

This means that our vitality is constantly increasing because these candles are providing us with a continuous supply.

I felt that the energy in my body was indeed a bit stronger than before.

After discovering this layer, I breathed a sigh of relief and became less apprehensive and wary of the road ahead.

"It seems Master Chen has discovered it!"

I told you, my husband, my wife, and my daughter would never harm you!

Seeing my expression, Lin Da nodded slightly, touched his cheek, and then continued walking forward, speeding up his pace.

I picked up the old knife and the ants, and followed closely behind, telling them about my discovery.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the main hall.

During this time, we kept counting the candles, and there were exactly 1,000 of them.

I breathed a sigh of relief. If it were 997 or fewer, they would probably have to use the three of us to make up the numbers.

It seems that this is not the case now.

"Alright, please come in, three masters. It was our master, madam, and young lady who invited you in, so I won't go in!"

Lin Da made way for us, and the maids and servants around us lined up in two rows, respectfully inviting the three of us to go in.

Old Knife and Ant walked past first, and as I was walking, Lin Da called me back.

“Master Chen, believe me, you can completely relax your guard here. Being vigilant is a good thing, but there’s no need to be on edge all the time!”

Lin Da looked at me and gave me another piece of advice.

I cupped my hands in thanks to Lin Da and walked straight inside.

Sitting in the main hall were two people, presumably the patriarch and patriarch of the Lin family.

Beside the lady was a woman, who, needless to say, was the real Lin Momo.

I looked up at the master and mistress; I had actually thought I would have met them before.

Unfortunately, although these two people looked friendly, their appearances were quite unfamiliar to me.

Mr. Lin was very dignified and composed, and he also had a very prosperous appearance.

They were wearing standard silk attire, which was generally reserved for those who had previously served as officials.

As for Madam Lin, her attire was also quite elegant, and both of them appeared to be in their fifties or sixties.

The person next to her is Miss Lin, who is probably the real Lin Momo. I looked at her face and recognized her as the same person I saw on Old Cao at his house.

This is indeed the real Lin Momo.

However, the Miss Lin in front of me was deathly pale, completely devoid of color.

I used my divine eye to examine the three of them, and none of them showed any signs of life. I guessed that it was either an illusion or an obsession.

"Master Chen! The main reason I invited you here today is to express my gratitude!"

Grandpa Lin glanced at me and spoke first.

"Is it because of this?"

I took the red paper out of my pocket.

This red paper is what I left behind when I drained that fake Lin Momo.

"You actually left this piece of paper behind!"

When Master Lin saw the red paper, he jumped up from his chair.

His voice was trembling.

"Mr. Lin, is there anything different about this piece of paper?"

When I saw the old man's reaction, my heart skipped a beat, because at first I thought it might be useful, in case I needed it someday.

I never expected the old man to make that face, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Nothing, nothing, I just find it unbelievable. How could this thing have survived!"

Mr. Lin kept shaking his head, and then he said some nonsensical things, which were a bit incomprehensible to listen to.

Seeing this, I didn't ask any more questions, but carefully put the paper away.

After the red paper was put away, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Miss Lin's expressions returned to normal.

"Please keep this item safe, Mr. Chen!"

It's unbelievable, but it's a fact that this thing is on Mr. Chen!

After waiting for a long time, Grandpa Lin finally came to my side and began to give me some instructions.

I'm still a little confused.

"Old sir, why did you call the three of us over here?"

I thought this family was quite polite, so I went straight to the point and asked them.

At this point, I decided to trust Lin Da one more time.

The old man coughed once, then took my hand and led me to Miss Lin.

"I want to use the divine power within you to stitch up the corpse!"
