"We've searched everywhere, only the mourning hall has not been searched. Why don't we go in and take a look?" I pulled on Zhong Min to boost my courage. It should be fine this afternoon.

The mourning hall had been here before, so there was nothing to be afraid of. However, now that everyone had left, they looked rather eerie.

Zhong Min and I didn't dare to look behind the coffin. We only called out a few times.

"Meow!" A weak cry of a cat came from the back of the mourning hall.

I bravely walked in. On top of the black coffin stood a black cat. Its dark green eyes stared at me like a tiger staring at its prey.

"Zhong Min, the cat is in the coffin."

Zhong Min ran over to take a look at me and weakly replied, "I heard that cats would extort corpses from dead people."

"I've heard of it too."

She looked at me. "So what now?"

"Why don't we go tell the old lady and let her do it herself, and maybe the cat won't come?"

"Sure, but what if he jumps over?" she asked.

I tried calling it a few more times, and the more I called it, the more it seemed to want to jump across from me, which made Zhong Min and me anxious.

"Bang!" With a light knock on the wood, I was so scared that my hair stood on end.

The cat on the coffin also mewled in fear. It immediately jumped over the coffin and ran away from the other side.

"Zhong Min, did you hear anything?"

Zhong Min was also undressed. "I heard it. It seems to be coming from there." She pointed to the coffin.

When I saw that the cat was gone, Zhong Min and I ran outside, feeling that someone was looking at us from behind.

As soon as they reached the door, they bumped into the woman in Sister Mo's room. She chuckled and said, "So you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Why are you looking for us?"

"It's already noon. A Xia can't find you guys, so let me arrange for you guys to be seated and eat lunch."

"Sorry for the trouble!" I smiled and thanked her.

She waved her hand, "Isn't that the right thing to do? Come with me. "

He followed her to the dining area. The moment he sat down, he saw the old lady hugging her cat and eating at another table with a smile.

I twisted my arm around Zhong Min and whispered into her ear, "Did the cat just jump over there?"

Stunned, Zhong Min nodded. "Yes!"

"It should be fine, right?" I comforted myself.

Zhong Min was also hoping for a fluke. "It's nothing!"

"Old Mrs. Liu can still laugh!" The other person at the banquet said softly to the woman beside her, looking at the old lady's happy smile.

The woman immediately turned around to look at the smiling old lady and agreed, "Yeah, she can even laugh when a cat loses such a big thing."

The other woman immediately added, "They say her brain isn't working. What does she know?"

"A cat lost is not afraid of a corpse!" The woman had a look of schadenfreude.

I almost lost my grip on my chopsticks when I heard about cats and dead bodies.

"I heard that in the past, there was a family that loved to keep cats. In the end, someone died in the family, and the cat fled the body, causing a disturbance in the family for several days."

"There's actually such a thing?" The woman she had been talking to exclaimed.

Although the surrounding sounds were noisy, I could still clearly hear their conversation.

"I've also heard that the person who was about to be buried in the ground suddenly followed behind someone in the middle of the night, quietly scaring them to death." The other woman immediately told him what she had heard.

Zhong Min used her arm to twist me. "Fei Fei, did we get into trouble?"

"I think so!" I also felt a little apprehensive. What should I do now?

"Then what happened next?"

The woman looked at the old woman sitting in the distance and said in a low voice, "I heard that the man jumped out of the coffin, ate as soon as he saw raw meat, and fled to the mountain to find it for several days. Finally, they were cremated and didn't dare to bury it!"

"Hehe, it's really scary. I feel goosebumps all over when I hear you say it." Another woman said as she placed a pair of chopsticks into her mouth.

Facing the fish and chicken on the table, I wasn't in the mood to eat, but Zhong Min ate happily.

"Aren't you afraid?" I asked her.

Zhong Min was holding a chicken leg with her eyes slanted. "What are you afraid of?" Aren't you a yin yang master? "

I panicked a little. "But I've never seen something like this before?"

Zhong Min was still smiling as she ate her chicken leg, "It was caused by both of us. If something were to happen to Sister Mo's family, would you be willing to go?"

If we hadn't disturbed the cat, we probably wouldn't have done such a thing.

Thus, I rather resigned myself to my fate and picked a piece of meat for myself. "Let's stay here for the night. If anything happens, we can also come out as soon as possible."

"Exactly what I want." Zhong Min opened her greasy mouth and whispered, "I've only heard about this before, and I've never seen it before. When I think about it, I feel a bit excited."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The ghost is going to scare me to death. I'm the same as it, scared to death. I'm still human. Besides, if I'm really the same as it, how awkward would it be for us to meet again?"

I scolded her, "It's all preposterous."

"That's reasonable." She continued to gnaw on the chicken leg. As for the other Big Sis, they didn't talk about the fraud anymore. Instead, they talked about Zhang family's grandson and the Li family's daughter-in-law.

After lunch, Sister Mo and her teenage son, Liu Han, burn paper money in front of the mourning hall, while Sister Mo is still crying like hell. The old lady is beside us now, smiling and chatting with the people around her.

After a while, the old lady's expression suddenly changed and she quickly rushed out of the door. At such an age, no one could be at ease with her being held back by the woman in the morning.

"Aunt, don't cause any more trouble. You're so old, what's the point in knocking around like this?"

The old lady glared at him and pushed the woman away, striding out of the room. Her actions stunned everyone in the room.

Someone muttered, "Could this Old Man Liu be up to no good?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the old lady who was running out of the door. They were at a loss as to what to say.

Sister Mo was the first to react. She stood up and greeted, "It's okay, it's fine. This is how the old lady works. Let's get back to work."

Everyone was busy with their work with a suspicious look on their faces. One or two timid women directly left the room.

After the incident just now, everyone's heart was at a loss. Plus, they couldn't help but suspect that the cat had jumped into the coffin, so they were all done with their work and left, leaving Sister Mo and the rest of their close relatives behind.

"Consort Fei, why don't we go out as well?" Zhong Min saw that there were less and less people inside.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall was gloomy with the appearance of this young man. Even the sound of Sister Mo's sobs was a bit ear-piercing.

A depressing atmosphere had mysteriously appeared in the air. It was so stuffy that it seemed like a storm was about to fall.

When Sister Mo heard Zhong Min and I talking, she turned around and looked at us. "You two can leave first. This place is pretty boring."

"Sister Mo, we'll be leaving first!" I pulled Zhong Min out of the room, and the pressure was gone.

He let out a long breath before he breathed out the foul air from his heart.

"Concubine, why do I feel like that room is so depressing?" Zhong Min was also a little out of breath.

"I feel the same way, but it's better now." I checked the time. It was almost five o'clock.

Zhong Min yawned lazily. "Have you seen anything unclean?"

After listening to Zhong Min's reminder, I turned around and closed my eyes. I used Yin and Yang to take a look, but there was nothing there.

"Stop being so suspicious. Have you forgotten what my mother said?" Even though I didn't see anything, I was still a little scared.

Zhong Min stuck out her tongue. "Nothing unclean. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to get dirty." I said worriedly.

Zhong Min said disapprovingly, "We caught that cat on the coffin. If you don't help Sister Mo, who will?"

"We will stay here for the night. If nothing happens tonight, then it will be fine."

"Who said that?" Zhong Min asked.

I pointed to my nose. "I did!"

Zhong Min gave me a thumbs up. "You're awesome. I'll accompany you tonight. I really want to see what those ghosts look like."

I almost kneeled down to Zhong Min. "Save it, this is a fake corpse and not a simple ghost."

"So what if you're malingering a corpse? Didn't you say that I'm extremely strong? " Zhong Min tilted her head in curiosity.

"Corpses that swindle people usually don't recognize people. Moreover, their strength is extremely great. Even if you're strong, it wouldn't be of any use." I calmly explained to her that I had never encountered such a situation like swindling a corpse.

He touched the scythe bracelet on his wrist and thought: If I'm in danger, he should come and save me, right?

But this thought was immediately rejected by me. There are so many things in the Underworld, so he shouldn't have the time to care about me.

I was both expectant and conflicted, but with that in mind, I didn't seem so afraid of what was going to happen tonight.

Zhong Min tugged on my arm and nearly staggered.

"What's wrong?" I looked at her quickly.

She lifted her chin and motioned me forward.

The scattered people from before were now all gathered together, but none of them dared to speak.

Quietly, I brought Zhong Min over to see what was going on. I was taller, so I could stand behind the crowd and observe the situation from the tip of my toes.

He saw the old lady sitting on the ground with a pale face, holding a skinny black cat in her arms. The black cat looked familiar, but if he took a closer look, he realized it was the black cat that the old lady had lost.

I finally understood why everyone didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the old lady's sinister gaze, I was stunned.

Zhong Min tugged on my sleeve and whispered, "What did you see?"

No one said anything. Although Zhong Min's voice was soft, it was still audible.

Hearing the voice, the old lady turned her head and looked towards the direction where Zhong Min and I were standing and met my gaze. Isn't that look in her eyes the same one that Big Sis Mo's husband had that night?

Seeing this, my back felt cold, and I hurriedly pulled Zhong Min far away.

"What, you're not letting me read it after you're done?" Zhong Min didn't want to go back yet.

"Stop messing around." I lowered my voice.

Zhong Min noticed that something was wrong with my face and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong? "

"These things are a bit strange. I don't know where to start, but I can be sure that the night will not be peaceful."

Looking at the black cat in the old lady's hands, I knew that the black cat's soul was long gone. Adding on the fact that it jumped into the coffin, I guessed that Sister Mo's husband was most likely going to swindle a corpse.

"Really? "Tell me, what did you see just now?" Zhong Min was no longer as excited as she was just now. The smile on her face also slowly faded.

"In a while, you will follow me." I tightly pulled on Zhong Min, afraid that something would happen to her.

I didn't dare to tell Zhong Min about the old lady's expression. At least she has guts. If I scared her out of her wits, then she would often encounter unclean things in the future.
