I secretly watched her reaction while eating.
"By the way, have you heard? Lin Kai is dead," I asked deliberately.
Jin Can Can simply lowered her head and continued eating without responding.
"I heard his whole family died," I continued.
"I know," Jin Can Can finally looked up.
"How do you know?" I was quite surprised.
"Were you looking for the Mourning Matron this morning?" Jin Can Can asked instead of answering.
"How do you know?" My shock deepened.
"You didn't sleep at all last night, and you went out early this morning. You must have gone to find the Mourning Matron," she said calmly.
"Did you follow me?" I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me.
"I didn't follow you; I just guessed," Jin Can Can shook her head.
"You..." I was terrified, unsure of what she intended to do.
"Listen to me, you must leave the village immediately, or you will die," Jin Can Can suddenly said.
"Huh? Why?" I was confused.
"This village is no longer a place for you to stay; you have to leave right away," her tone was very firm.
"Why?" I still didn't understand.
"The situation in this village is very complicated right now. You're a good person; there's no need for you to get involved, and..." Jin Can Can hesitated.
"And what?" I pressed eagerly.
"And you've already met the Mourning Matron," Jin Can Can stared at me intently.
"W-what do you mean?" Fear began to creep back in.
"You've met the Mourning Matron, and she might have already told her about me. If I wanted to harm you, I could do it right now," Jin Can Can said, each word deliberate and clear.
"I can't imagine why you would..." I hesitated.
"I don't want to harm you; I even want to save you." Jin Can Can's gaze was sincere.
"You want to save me?" I found it hard to believe.
"Yes, you're a good person, and I want to help you." Jin Can Can nodded.
"But the Mourning Matron said..." I was still uncertain.
"Do you believe everything the Mourning Matron says?" Jin Can Can countered.
"Of course," I replied without hesitation.
"Then do you know what she plans to do to me?" Jin Can Can looked at me intently.
"I don't know," I shook my head.
"She intends to use the yang energy from you four Child Males to quell the resentment of the spiral." Jin Can Can's tone was grave.
"What?" I was shocked.
"So, you need to leave the village immediately; perhaps you can still save your life." Jin Can Can urged urgently.
"I..." I sat there, lost and confused.
"Don't hesitate; if you do, it will be too late." Jin Can Can pressed on.
The night grew darker, and I stumbled out of the village alone in the dark.
I didn't know how long I had been walking, but eventually, I found myself back on the small path leading to the village.
I realized that I might be caught in a ghostly loop.
Just as despair began to set in, I suddenly heard Jin Can Can's voice.
"Wang Yuan."
I turned around only to see a Faceless Ghost dressed in a blood-red robe, grinning ominously at me.
This... this was the one who died in the cave, wasn't it?
I was paralyzed with fear, watching helplessly as she approached me.
"Help! Help!" I screamed desperately.
"Wang Yuan!" The voice of the Mourning Matron grew clearer and clearer.
Tears streamed down my face as I quickly crawled over.
The figure of the Mourning Matron appeared before me.
With her hands forming seals, she cast a spirit talisman in front of me.
I felt a flash before my eyes, and the Faceless Ghost transformed into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating into the air.
