Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
I practically starved to death on this journey.
Yiyi was also there, enjoying her delicious meal, looking very satisfied with every bite.
As I ate, I caught the crumbs that fell with my hands, and then told Lao Liu what had just happened.
"What? Where did this person come from? There are no daytime cleaners in this shallow area; the cleaners are there at night!"
Old Liu's face immediately turned deathly pale, and he stopped biting into the sesame seed cake a moment ago.
I blinked, and stopped talking.
Seriously? Have we run into something outrageous again?
"Brother Chen, you haven't run into another fake corpse, have you?"
Wait a minute, those guys wouldn't release so many of them onto shallow roads in broad daylight!
Although these things can never be completely eradicated, the number produced in a short period of time is limited. In other words, as long as everyone works together, it is possible to at least wipe them out!
Although they will be wiped out and then grow back..."
Old Liu was still shaken as he spoke.
I felt a slight sense of unease.
At that moment, I quickly looked at the scene outside and pointed it out to Lao Liu. That's the direction the woman walked away from.
Even his back is still visible, and when Lao Liu looked through the car window, he couldn't help but rub his eyes and take a closer look.
"Where is this? There's clearly nothing there!"
After Lao Liu said that, I was even more confused.
I looked over again, but to my dismay, the person had indeed disappeared, vanishing at the end of the two large trees.
There is a bank next to it.
A person just disappeared without warning in the middle of the road!
They're only 100 meters away from us.
Although she's gone, I can still see clearly that where she was standing has been replaced by a broom and a dustpan, simply placed there!
What does that mean? It means you're disappearing!
Holy crap, this guy even pulled off this little magic trick.
I quickly asked Lao Liu to drive over, but as soon as we got there, we saw this guy through a tree next to us.
She just squatted there silently, chewing something in her mouth.
I couldn't help but crane my neck to look out the window, while Lao Liu slowed down, trying his best to create the illusion that we were just passersby.
But just as I looked over, the woman suddenly pulled back the bangs covering her eyes and glared at me fiercely!
I could see clearly that her eyes were bloodshot!
In his other hand he was holding a sesame seed cake, the one Lao Liu just handed me!
When did this guy buy it?
I was completely baffled, but at that moment I didn't know what to say.
Maybe the cleaner carries it with him/her; I can't really say for sure.
Old Liu was even more puzzled, muttering to himself, "I have to queue for a long time to get these sesame seed cakes, and there really aren't any cleaners during the day!"
At this moment, Old Liu quickly stepped on the gas and drove off, circling back to the spot he had just been.
I quickly said "Old Liu" halfway there.
"Why don't you stop and take a look? We almost got a clue about this guy. Wouldn't that have revealed everything? Why are we still living in fear?"
For me, finding out the truth about that fake corpse is really important.
Or rather, once we discover this fake corpse, all the problems will be solved.
This thing is not only scary, it's also disgusting, keeping us constantly on edge.
I was even worried that when we returned to the boundary between the deep and shallow layers, which was Lan Jia's residence, from the security checkpoint, we might encounter something strange and disgusting.
If the fake corpse keeps following me, I'm really going to break down.
But Lao Liu was loudly explaining.
"You do want to know the principle behind this thing, but in the superficial versions I've heard, it's portrayed as inhuman and capable of attacking ordinary people at any time!"
All I can guarantee is that it's a shallow area, and there are absolutely no cleaners during the day. All the cleaners only start work after nightfall!
As Lao Liu spoke, he held the steering wheel with one hand and gestured with the other.
He seemed quite relaxed, after all, this place was very familiar to him.
Indeed, from his perspective, his own life is more important.
"So that guy was definitely not an ordinary person. At least he was definitely not an ordinary cleaner. Either he was wearing a cleaner's uniform and doing something sneaky, or he was a complete fake corpse!"
I can't risk my life there!
As Lao Liu spoke, he almost started shouting.
I didn't let him continue chasing anything, but through that person's eyes just now, I seemed to see that same feeling of desperately wanting to kill me that I had in my dream.
The only difference was that the woman we just met looked completely different from the elegantly dressed woman we encountered.
My first impression of that woman was that she was elegant and had large, delicate features.
However, that woman was really too slovenly, looking completely exhausted, like someone who had worked in a particular field for many years.
More importantly, their body types are different. The cleaner I just met was larger and had more defined facial features.
She was completely different from the elegant woman who got into the car.
They're not just different, they're worlds apart. Their appearances are like night and day, completely unrelated.
Not to mention it's just one person.
"We...we can't have accidentally stumbled upon the hideout of fake corpses, can we...?"
Yiyi whispered from the side.
"No, you can't target us."
Nobody's targeting me; I'm the most reliable and honest person.
Old Liu muttered to himself there.
His hearing is really good.
Even though Yiyi's voice was so soft, he could hear it clearly.
Looking at Lao Liu's attitude, I actually think it's quite good.
In situations like these, relaxing is more helpful than rushing.
After crossing an intersection, Lao Liu officially decided to say goodbye to us.
"I have arranged everything for you clearly."
That guy was much more skilled than me, but, haha, he listened to me.
Old Liu exudes a sense of pride.
I pretended to be very interested and asked him what was going on.
Old Liu first acted mysteriously, then immediately revealed the truth.
That person once wanted to learn how to drive a taxi with Lao Liu.
He was a native of the area and quite interested in Lao Liu's taxi business.
