"He's really a cunning fellow!"
Zi Feng remained cold, but the brilliance in his eyes grew even stronger.
Inside the Abandoned House, despite the terrifying aura it contained, Zi Feng showed no concern. The energy he exuded was enough to intimidate most spirits in the world.
Because their profession was to subdue demons and capture spirits!
In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting colorful rays of light in scattered patterns.
At this moment, in Zi Feng's home, Xu Qian and Xia Xiaoyu sat silently on the sofa in the living room, each lost in thought, with no one speaking.
Actually, it was Zi Feng who had called them over early that morning because today was a very important day that concerned the overall situation and Xia Xiaoyu's life and death.
"What exactly is going on? Ah Feng, have you encountered trouble?"
The atmosphere was unusually heavy. After a brief silence, Xu Qian lifted his head and looked at Zi Feng's indifferent face, unable to hold back his question.
"Very serious trouble!" Zi Feng glanced at Xia Xiaoyu. Although his voice was calm, his expression was somewhat grim.
"Tell me what happened with Leng Yuchen yesterday. How could he turn himself in and then escape? And why has he become so strange..." Xia Xiaoyu recalled Leng Yuchen's hollow and eerie eyes from last night and felt a wave of shock. What puzzled her even more was how he managed to get out.
"He has no heart!"
Zi Feng calmly replied to Xia Xiaoyu.
"To be able to do something so insane, it would be strange if he had a conscience!"
Xia Xiaoyu curled her lips. Thinking of the handsome young master, who had done such a thing, an inexplicable emotion surged within her.
"What I mean is..." Zifeng suddenly paused, then looked at the two with a serious expression and uttered something that left everyone stunned.
"Leng Yuchen's heart has been taken away by something! He has no heart!"
"What do you mean?"
Xu Qian furrowed his brows. Before Xia Xiaoyu could exclaim in surprise, he spoke up simultaneously.
"Dealing with Wang Xiaojia's matter went too smoothly. I should have known there was a problem. Since Leng Yuchen turned himself in, he must already be dead because his heart was taken away by something!"
Zifeng's words were calm, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
"But what did we see last night?" Xia Xiaoyu felt anxious again.
"Just a dead person!"
Zifeng remained indifferent.
"But how could he possibly do such a thing!" Xia Xiaoyu questioned again.
"He was controlled because something was in the place of his heart. I think even he himself doesn't know he's already dead..."
"How could he have that kind of ability?" Remembering how Leng Yuchen jumped from the fifth floor last night, Xia Xiaoyu still had some doubts.
"Do you know about zombies?"
Zi Feng retorted to Xia Xiaoyu.
"Zombies? No way! Aren't they supposed to wear clothes from the Qing Dynasty and hop around at night? But he hasn't changed, and suddenly he's become much stronger."
Xia Xiaoyu asked, looking confused.
Hearing Xia Xiaoyu's response, Zi Feng couldn't help but laugh. "Who said zombies wear official robes from the Qing Dynasty and hop around? You've probably watched too many movies starring Lin Zhengying!"
Zi Feng smiled wryly. If zombies were really just reanimated corpses that could only move by hopping and relied on instinct, they would be utterly useless. Because the corpse energy emitted by Leng Yuchen yesterday had attracted that corpse chaser named Beiling! The corpse chaser's job was to deal with all sorts of bizarre corpses.
"Hmph, I've even seen a date with a zombie!"
Caught by Zi Feng, Xia Xiaoyu refused to back down.
"Although they can only move at night, real zombies are scarier than ghosts because they possess living minds and full memories. Moreover, their strength increases as the full moon approaches. This means that if a thief dies and becomes a zombie, not only will he drain people's life force, but at night, he will search for keys, open doors to enter others' rooms, and then kill! In summary, aside from being afraid of light, they are no different from ordinary people—except they are very powerful!"
Zi Feng explained casually, but Xia Xiaoyu was thoroughly frightened. She could imagine what it would feel like if someone were alone in a room at midnight when a zombie opened the door and quietly entered.
