Black clouds covered half of the sky above, and there were frequent lightning flashes, but no raindrops fell.
"Is it day or night here?" Wang Xiaohai complained about the weather in Kra City.
He was now standing in the servants' quarters of the Marquis's Mansion. The surrounding buildings were not very tall, all four to five-story buildings, with mottled and dilapidated exterior walls, and an overall gray color, giving people a sense of antiquity.
It was probably working hours, and the surroundings were relatively quiet, and Wang Xiaohai's footsteps were clearly audible.
After walking nearly a hundred meters, a man appeared in the shadows between the two buildings in front. The man had a shiny side-parted hairstyle, was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looked at Wang Xiaohai quietly.
"Aren't you going to work today?" Wang Xiaohai asked the man, who was also disguised as someone from the Marquis's Mansion.
"I'm waiting for someone here." The man replied.
"Waiting for whom?"
"Waiting for my daughter Annie. She went out of the house to sell matches and hasn't come back yet," said the man.
“…”
"Please wait patiently. The weather is a bit cold. I'll go first." Wang Xiaohai said as he was about to walk past the man.
"Dad——" a girl's voice sounded behind Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai couldn't help but look back.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old in a skirt, escorted by a group of guards, ran towards Annie's father, passed by Wang Xiaohai, and threw herself into the man's arms.
Wang Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were people with the same name and surname. Although this was not an allied country, it was also a country belonging to humans, and there shouldn't be too many evil spirits.
Unexpectedly, the man pushed the girl away and said, "You are not my daughter!"
The little girl in the skirt fell to the ground and blood was all over the floor.
Wang Xiaohai was about to go over and help her up, but was stopped by a guard who was walking over.
"Why don't you let me help? I have money and I'm not afraid of being scammed!" said Wang Xiaohai.
"She'll be fine," the guard said.
"Why?" Wang Xiaohai was puzzled.
"Because she died over two hundred years ago," the guard said in a strange tone. "Didn't you also die in the war two hundred years ago? Why are you asking?"
What’s going on! Wang Xiaohai’s mind raced. Could it be that all the people in the Marquis’ Mansion were evil spirits and ghosts?
"I'm sorry, I lost my memory of what happened before I died," Wang Xiaohai said. "After I was resurrected, I didn't remember anything and just kept wandering around here!"
He had to find a way to deceive himself first, so he quickly made up an identity for himself.
Another guard walked up to Wang Xiaohai. Wang Xiaohai saw that this man only had half a head. The guard with half a head sniffed Wang Xiaohai and said, "You do have the scent of the same kind."
A similar scent? Wang Xiaohai was startled—could it be that box of matches?
Unexpectedly, the matches he reluctantly bought with ten thousand yuan would unexpectedly become proof of his identity!
"What are you going to do now?" Wang Xiaohai asked Bannaotou.
"Since you are a newly awakened evil spirit, follow us to capture living people and transform them into our kind," said the evil spirit guard.
"Where is he?" Wang Xiaohai pointed at Annie's father.
"Him? He's quite stubborn. We've found many girls to try to trick him, but none of them worked." The half-headed evil spirit guard said, "The commander values him more, saying he has special abilities and can't be forced to work."
It turns out that there are leaders above these evil spirits! Wang Xiaohai thought he had discovered another secret.
"What are your abilities?" Wang Xiaohai asked Annie's father.
"Where is my daughter?" Annie's father ignored Wang Xiaohai and only asked his daughter.
It seems that the only way to find Annie and bring her to him is to find out his abilities.
"Let's go and capture some living people first." An evil spirit guard said to Wang Xiaohai.
"Where should we catch him, inside or outside the palace?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
If he was going outside the palace, he wouldn't go.
"Let's catch him inside the mansion first. The commander has just arrived here and needs to be cleaned up." The evil spirit guard with half a head replied.
Wang Xiaohai walked into the group of guards and accidentally touched their bodies.
It feels real!
Unlike Annie, these evil spirit guards are resurrected corpses. In this way, if a fight really breaks out, Wang Xiaohai is confident that he can defeat and destroy them!
Now he was completely relieved. There was nothing wrong with catching people. He just had to act according to the situation. He wanted to see what kind of abilities these evil spirits had.
