Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“You should stand up first, and we can talk inside.” Li Yidao extended his hand to help.

However, the other person persisted in kneeling.

But Li Yidao’s strength was not to be underestimated.

With a little effort, he easily pulled the person up.

“What’s your name?”

After helping the person up, Li Yidao calmly changed the subject.

He also motioned for the person to sit down.

The young man controlled his emotions.

Haltingly, he said, “My name is Zhang Goudan, and my father is Zhang Ermao.”

“He’s the Miner Ermao you followed on the internet a few days ago.”

“After he fell… he didn’t make it…” Zhang Goudan’s eyes were filled with pain.

Li Yidao nodded gently, encouraging him to continue.

He knew that Zhang Goudan’s visit wasn’t just to tell him he was Miner Ermao’s son.

And…

Coming from such a distant place to ask for help in arranging a funeral, things certainly couldn’t be that simple!

Seeing that Li Yidao didn’t interrupt, Zhang Goudan continued, “My father’s death was unjust.”

“Actually, he was quite timid; he wouldn’t dare to jump off a building! Even when he stood on the rooftop, he was filled with fear.”Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

When Zhang Goudan reached this point, his emotions became evident, and he was slightly agitated.

Li Yidao handed him a bottle of water, signaling him to calm down.

Zhang Goudan took the water and drank it.

Then he exhaled a deep breath.

His gaze gradually turned inward, lost in memories…

“The day my father died, I was downstairs.”

“To be honest, I was really confused back then. I was terrified…”

“We had agreed it was just an act, purely to draw attention from all sides, to seek justice…”

“But… why did he jump? How did it come to this?”

“He jumped, and now it’s unlikely my uncles and the others will ever get the justice they wanted.”

“All the workers in his team, they all died! He took the day off because I had a fever and he didn’t go down to the mine that day.”

“Do you know? When my father fell, his eyes were looking in my direction!”

“His eyes were unrelenting even in death! I was utterly devastated at that moment!”

Moreover…

The words Zhang Goudan spoke also weighed heavily on his heart.

He understood that some people were naturally pure and possessed abilities that others didn’t. Maybe… Zhang Goudan was one of those people?

After helping Zhang Goudan back up, Li Yidao fell silent for a moment and asked, “Is your father’s body still in the memorial hall at your home?” It had been three days since Ermao’s death.

And considering the gruesome nature of his death… if the body was still at home…

Zhang Goudan smiled bitterly, “Yes, it’s still in the memorial hall at home.” “To be honest, it’s just me and my father left at home.”

“I wanted to take him to the funeral parlor… but I don’t have the money…” Zhang Goudan’s eyes filled with sorrow as he spoke.

“But my father’s body is still in good condition! It hasn’t decayed at all! Even when I get close to where his body is placed, I feel a chill!”

“I know something is waiting, I just don’t know if it’s good or bad.”

Li Yidao furrowed his brows again.

Cold?

Something waiting?

This situation was becoming increasingly mysterious…

The body didn’t decay and made people feel cold?

He couldn’t help but consider a possibility.

After a moment of thought, Li Yidao didn’t speak, but instead used his Soul Detection on Zhang Goudan.

As the Basic Soul Detection was activated, Li Yidao could clearly see a black mist swirling around Zhang Goudan’s body.

He furrowed his brows.

He used Advanced Soul Detection and consumed three years of lifespan.

Li Yidao didn’t have many opportunities to use Advanced Soul Detection, and it consumed a significant amount of lifespan.

However, in order to verify his thoughts, he didn’t hesitate.

He used it!

As lifespan was consumed, Li Yidao noticed that the black mist around Zhang Goudan’s body gradually became clearer…

It was a… figure…

NO!

Li Yidao frowned and checked carefully.

It was not a human figure. This was a… scarecrow?

As the black mist gradually cleared, Li Yidao could discern that it was a scarecrow!

What did a scarecrow mean?

Why would there be a scarecrow?

Even Li Yidao was momentarily stunned by this.

All of this was intentionally controlled by someone.

Or was he unintentionally getting caught in another vortex?
