I said in a deep voice: "Jie-xiansheng, what do you mean by this?"

Jie Sanbao’s words were clearly a way of saying goodbye, did he already know that he was about to die?

Jie Sanbao pointed to the offering table in front of him and said: "There’s a corpse under there!"

When I turned to look at the offering table, I saw bright red blood flowing from under the tablecloth.

In just a moment of shock, the blood on the ground had gathered into a puddle the size of a washbasin.

Not to mention thick human blood, even water wouldn’t flow that fast.

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, anyone would have thought the blood on the ground had appeared several hours ago.

When I looked again, a human hand reached out from under the table.

The blood-stained hand opened the tablecloth that was hanging down like it was opening a curtain, and half of a body emerged.

The butler!

The corpse under the offering table was the butler who had just let us in.

I turned my head in shock, only to see the butler standing coldly in the courtyard with his hands hanging down, staring at me and sneering.

The moment the corner of the butler’s mouth turned up, Ye Yang suddenly slapped me. Lin Zhao and Feng Ruoxing were also hit.

When I came back to my senses from Ye Yang’s slap, the butler in the courtyard had disappeared as if blown away by the wind.

I also exclaimed: "Ye Yang, what are you doing?"

Ye Yang pressed down on his trembling right arm with one hand: "You were laughing with that dead man just now."

"What did you say?" A chill ran through me.

Before I could say anything else, Jie Sanbao spoke: "The police will be here soon. I can’t explain how the body got under the table, so I can only go with them."

"I know, I won’t be able to get out for a while. I’m entrusting things here to you. Please protect my daughter."

Not long after Jie Sanbao finished speaking, the sound of police cars rang out outside the villa.

It was only at this point that Jie Yueling rushed out of the house.

Jie Sanbao was taken into the police car amidst Jie Yueling’s cries. Before getting into the car, the only thing he said was: "You must listen to your Brother Li's arrangements. Do whatever he says!"

I originally wanted Feng Ruoxing to comfort Jie Yueling, but Lin Zhao directly put her in his arms and comforted her.

Although I felt uncomfortable with Lin Zhao’s actions, I knew that now wasn’t the time to argue with him. The most important thing was to soothe Jie Yueling’s emotions.

While the police were investigating the scene, I notified Zhao Ci, who had already hacked into the Jie family’s security system, to send me a copy of the surveillance footage.

When I saw the surveillance footage, I couldn’t help but be shocked. The surveillance showed Jie Sanbao and the butler entering the Buddhist hall one after the other, but it didn’t erase a section out of thin air. At least, it didn’t show how the butler turned into the corpse under the offering table.

Then, it showed the scene of the four of us walking into the villa.

However, there was no sign of the butler in the recording. The four of us looked like we were walking towards the Buddhist hall by ourselves. In fact, the butler should have been slightly to the right in front of me.

The last shot in the video was me sneering at the door.

My smile was almost a replica of the butler’s, not only the curve of the corner of my mouth, but even my eyes were slanting upwards.

The butler wasn’t tall. If he wanted to see my face without moving his neck, he either had to keep a distance from me or look at me with his eyes turned upwards.

I was imitating the butler!

It wasn’t just me, Feng Ruoxing and Lin Zhao were also doing the same thing. If Ye Yang hadn’t acted in time and slapped each of us, who knows what would have happened.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the art of the occult. People in the art of the occult call it "ghost mirroring."

It usually happens when people look in the mirror. People think they are making faces at the mirror, but in reality, the person in the mirror is making faces at you.

He moves how you move!

When the faces get faster and faster, and more and more, people can’t stop even if they want to.

The last action that people can see is either themselves strangling their necks, or putting something sharp into their throats.

I still don’t know how high Lin Zhao’s cultivation is, but three of the four of us are Transcendent Realm experts. Not only did none of us feel that we were being led by a dead person, but even two of them were almost tricked.

You need to know that when we came here, although we didn’t reach the point of full alert, we were still being careful everywhere.

If the other party was just an ordinary evil spirit, how could he have avoided the perception of the four of us?

If the other party was a ghost or god who could easily take us down, why didn’t he just take action directly, and instead play such a trick?

I finally calmed down my emotions, and was taken to the criminal police team to make a statement. Fortunately, the four of us had been using internal energy to transmit our lines to each other before getting into the car, so we were released in the shortest amount of time.

When I came out of the criminal police team, it was already dawn, but Jie Yueling was outside the criminal police team and refused to leave.

I really had no choice but to send Lin Zhao out. Before Lin Zhao could say two words, Tian Dan’s phone call came.
