Yanfren could not sleep at all the previous night. He had dark circles around his eyes and felt uneasy the entire way.
After arriving at Hill Village, the tdrove right up to the ancestral graves on a hill.
It was a massive gravesite where all the ancestors of Hill Village's residents were buried.
The tarrived at the grave of Yanfren's father. The grave has cracked open, exposing the rotten coffin in it.
Yanfren screamed in terror when he saw that and quickly ran off to hide in the distance.
Wilbur frowned and said, "He's still your father even if he is a ghost. What's there to be afraid of?" "Even if that's my father, it's still a ghost! How can I not be scared?" Yanfren refused to go anywhere near the grave. Wilbur shook his head and then waved his hand, opening the coffin's cover.
They saw a corpse lying inside. The clothes on it were in a state of disrepair, and there was blood all over the corpse.
Burials in a village would usually seal the coffin shut under multiple layers, and then be buried with fine soil. The grave would be sealed tight, and it was normal for the body to be well preserved for several decades. However, it was abnormal for the corpse to be covered in blood like that. How could a decades-old corpse still have blood on it?" Wilbur leaned in closer to the coffin and took a whiff, then said, "This is not human blood." Ryder also tried smelling it and said, "It smells like a mix of chicken and dog blood." Wilbur thought about it and said, "Someone's playing tricks with the corpse." "What do you mean, sir?" Ryder asked.
Wilbur replied, "Someone's controlling the corpse, and then smeared it with blood to scare Yanfren. This is a scam to get money." "That's possible. They did ask for cash to be dropped off behind the gravestone. Why would a ghost need cash?" Ryder commented.
Wilbur nodded in agreement. "You're right. However, that person was able to control corpses. He's definitely a cultivator." "The issue is how to locate him." This type of cultivator was among the list of targets of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, so it was their duty to apprehend them.
Wilbur frowned. "He did not appear in person, so it'll be difficult to find him." "Let's contact the handler and have them access the surveillance system," Ryder suggested.
Wilbur shook his head. "There are no surveillance cameras here. That won't do any good." As he said that, Wilbur's spirit power surged into the corpse. After a moment, the space around them started to bechazy.
In Wilbur's consciousness, a thin red thread appeared on the corpse and floated toward the direction of Windside Town. Wilbur withdrew his spirit energy and smiled. "I've confirmed the general location. We'll go back to Windside Town, and I'll confirm his exact location later." Chapter 570 1 Chapter 570 2 "What are you talking about? We're here to help Yanfren with serrands," Wilbur replied.
Just then, Yanfren started waving at the bald man from afar and said, "Mister Stagen! It's me, Yanfren!" "It's really you! When did you cback?" the bald man asked with a bright smile.
Yanfren still did not dare to go anywhere near the grave, replying from a distance, "I just cback to run serrands." Chapter 570 3 "Who are you?" Wilbur asked.
The bald man laughed and looked at Yanfren. "Tell him who I am." Yanfren walked forward timidly and stopped a few meters away from Wilbur, saying, "He's Booker Stagen, the secretary of our village."
