Li Huowang's earlier suspicions were spot on—there was never any ghost stealing people's lifelines. Facing the rumors spread by the Sitting Oblivion Path, this beggar from the Astrological Bureau had chosen a method completely different from Li Huowang's.
"Was it necessary? Did you really have to put on such a convincing act?" Li Huowang pointed to the corpses murdered by the man with the straight brows.
"This was a trap set up by Sitting Oblivion—how could we get by without a good performance? You think people'll believe us just because we say a few words? Besides, I watched when the killing happened. The ones who died were all ordinary folk."
Li Huowang felt a chill in his heart at these words. Why did the man say such things so calmly? Was everyone in the Astrological Bureau like this?
Not that Li Huowang was especially outraged by the dead; he just grew far more alert after seeing how the other handled things.
