When there were less than a hundred meters left to the Impermanent Bureau's main gate, Elder Jia holding the cloth doll meant to induce sleep, suddenly collapsed.
Sang Que reached out and supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Upon touching Elder Jia's body, Sang Que discovered that he was icy cold and slimy, resembling a fish. Upon closer examination, she confirmed that this Elder Jia was no longer alive.
There were signs of those filament-like worms in his ear canals; likely his entire brain was filled with these worms.
The fierce ghosts in the wall's bloody pool sensed the Yin Child aura from Sang Que and all dared not show themselves, shrinking away quietly.
Hua Qianmian was ahead, while Sang Que quickly took out a painting, stuffed Elder Jia inside, locking him in a house at Taoyuan Village, handing him over to Chu Mo Wei and Red Ghost for safekeeping. When necessary, Hua Qianmian or she could disguise as Elder Jia.
