The orc who was called out couldn't understand what Xu Qi was saying. He was tilting his head and looking in the direction of Ji Qian. His somewhat ferocious face actually showed a bit of cuteness.
"But it breathes, has a body temperature, and even its emotional expression is normal!"
Ji Qian had encountered "living corpses" before, creatures that existed between life and death.
They look no different from ordinary people, but as soon as you get close, you can feel a chill that seeps into your bones.
Furthermore, the "living corpse" was generally indifferent and stiff, forming a stark contrast with the orc in front of him, whose expression and movements were both very vivid.
Xu Qi frowned, clearly not understanding what had happened, but still dutifully explained:
"Its physical body was already on the verge of death, but countless resentments of unknown origin were surging within it."
These resentments intertwined and interacted, devouring each other while constantly generating new ones, creating a very peculiar situation that has sustained its existence until now.
Ji Qian frowned upon hearing this, clearly thinking of something unpleasant.
Han Mengyao and Ji Qian had the same thought: "So, if we can release all the resentment..."
Han Mengyao didn't spell it out too clearly, but Xu Qi still understood her unspoken message.
Xu Qi nodded, tacitly agreeing with Han Mengyao's idea.
Ji Qian and Han Mengyao turned to look at the still bewildered beastman at the same time, their emotions complicated.
Mi Yesi didn't understand a word, but seeing the solemn expressions of the others, she didn't dare to interrupt. She just quietly moved closer to Ying Xu, who was also unaware of the situation.
What does this mean? Can someone explain it to me?
[This means that the orc should have died long ago; it's only staying alive because of its resentment. Once that resentment disappears, it will die.]
Oh no! Really? I quite like it.
[Born from the evil thoughts of humankind, they faced death before even having lived a single day as human.]
To be precise, it was already dead; this is just a matter of prolonging its life. It's truly a sad state of affairs.
It didn't even learn human language...
I suddenly understand Nora; the Black family truly deserved to die.
Nora was unaware that she had gained many supporters across the ocean.
She was squatting next to Count Lanruer, and whenever she noticed that Count Lanruer showed any signs of stopping vomiting, she would reach out and poke his throat, having a great time.
The fate of the orcs was sealed hundreds of years ago, and Ji Qian and the others could do nothing but sigh.
However, they still have a very important problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible, and that is...
"Didn't we search this room last time?"
Mi Yesi followed behind Han Mengyao, cautiously peeking into the house, but saw nothing and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Last time, due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, we may have overlooked some details."
Ji Qian followed on Han Mengyao's other side, and while speaking, she shakily peeked into the room, her peek even slower than Mi Yesi's.
Han Mengyao was unaffected by the two ornaments beside her and walked quickly to the center of the room. Her gaze was then drawn to the single velvet curtain next to the fireplace.
What is that thing there?
Mi Yesi glanced at it and quickly looked away, answering in a trembling voice:
"Yes, it should be a wall. I also have this curtain in my room, and there's a wall inside."
"But shouldn't this direction be outdoors?"
Ji Qian mustered her courage and looked at the curtains in front of her, saying somewhat uncertainly.
"Fine, we'll just pull it open and see. You guys step back!"
As Han Mengyao spoke, she pulled her hand away and shielded the other two behind her. After confirming that they were all ready, she reached out and pulled open the curtains.
The heavy velvet fabric was pulled back, and sunlight rushed into the room like a tidal wave, but it brought no warmth. Instead, it felt as if a bone-chilling cold swept in, instantly lowering the temperature in the room considerably.
Ji Qian hadn't noticed anything unusual until she felt a stinging pain in her fingertips, at which point she realized something was wrong. She looked up and saw that Han Mengyao's arm had a thin layer of frost on it, something she hadn't seen in a long time.
Ji Qian reacted quickly, turning around and pulling and pushing Han Mengyao out of the room.
Clutching at Han Mengyao's clothes for courage, Mi Yesi couldn't dodge in time and was also pushed out.
Seeing that both teammates had left the room, Ji Qian didn't linger and strode out of the room without looking back once.
[They're just leaving like that?]
[I took my pants off and this is what you show me?!]
[Brother, you're such a pervert, I love [dog]]
So, did anyone see what happened?
No, they're too fast.
I see it! It looks like there's a glass door behind that curtain!
[I saw it too! There's a figure outside the glass door!]
[Wow, there's definitely something wrong with this room!]
[Waaaaah, my poor little Yingying!]
【Aaaaaaah, I didn't see anything! Why can't I adjust the speed of the live stream?!!!!】
Guess why it's called 'live broadcast' instead of 'recorded broadcast'?
[Thanks to the amazing time difference, watching these at night is really exciting!]
Han Mengyao slumped down in the corridor, quickly recovering from the cold. Ignoring the bewildered Mi Yesi beside her, she looked up at Ji Qian, her expression grave.
"I just saw it clearly. The curtain was blocking out a small balcony, and there was a woman hanging in the middle of the balcony."
Ji Qian felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. She quickly leaned against the wall to calm herself before replying, "Is it a person or a ghost? Is it aggressive?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qian regretted it. She seemed to have asked a pointless question. Who in their right mind would hang themselves on the balcony for no reason?
Unexpectedly, Han Mengyao shook her head:
"I'm not sure. Her body looked very strong, and her complexion was rosy and glowing, unlike any other ghost I've seen before. And although I... she only glanced at me and didn't do anything else."
If it weren't for the other party's bizarre posture and overreaction, Han Mengyao might have actually mistaken it for a living person. She had never experienced this feeling with any other ghost.
"In short, you can't go any closer to that side."
Ji Qian frowned as she came to a conclusion. To be honest, she was a little scared to face that scene alone.
Seeing Ji Qian's hesitation, Mi Yesi considered for a long time before finally unable to resist saying, "How about I reluctantly accompany you?"
Ji Qian readily agreed.
To be honest, in this situation, even if Director Liu were present, Ji Qian would probably pull him into the room to keep him company.
