Qinghe sat cross-legged next to Mao's body. The former head of the family suddenly said, "Doctor, please go out. I, an old man, will guard the body."

People who die suddenly always have some evil nature, which is why everyone is standing outside.

After all, no one can guarantee that Mao, who died unjustly, will not come back to life in the future.

Qinghe smiled meaningfully: "No, I prefer dead things."

Compared to living things with complex thoughts and indulged in desires, dead things at the mercy of others appear much more docile.

The banging sound disappeared, but everyone's uneasiness could not disappear.

The unknown is scary, and the silent atmosphere is almost suffocating them.

Cold liquid dripped onto Odajima's body. He wiped the back of his neck in confusion. Was the room leaking?

No, that's not right, this is...

The medicine seller looked up and immediately kicked Odajima away.

“Boom!!!”

A corpse with twisted limbs fell from the sky into the center of the room, and a strong smell of blood spread.

Eyes wide open, expressions of fear and pain...

It was the short servant Yahei who went to see Dr. Tsubouchi.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" The housekeeper and the maid Jia Shi screamed in fright.

The roof was empty and there was no place to hide the body. No one knew how the body appeared.

Another person died, and now no one dared to easily think that this was a simple murder.

Sasaoka and Fujiyama reacted, and they rushed into the inner room together, pointing their blades at Haruka's neck: "Who the hell are you!"

Since the short servant Yaping is dead, he either never left the house or died at the hands of Dr. Tsubouchi.

In either case, this female doctor who claimed to be replacing Dr. Tsubouchi was particularly suspicious.

"Me?" Qinghe directly pressed the blade with his fingertips and pushed the knife away: "Sharp weapons are dangerous, please don't get too close to me."

"Tell the truth!" Fujiyama demanded.

"I'm just a traveling doctor passing by." It was easy for Qinghe to make up an identity.

Hearing this familiar way of introducing himself, Yiguo sneered: "You are not going to say that you sensed a monster, are you?"

Haruka still kept smiling and softly retorted: "No, it's a request from... a cat."

The tone of her voice was a little strange, and everyone felt a chill down their spine when they heard her voice.

No one dared to ask further, for fear of hearing even more horrifying words.

Sasaoka squatted down to check Haruka's medicine box.

Silver needles, a set of scalpels, anesthetics, hemostatics, trauma medicine, bandages...

Unexpectedly serious.

Sasaoka held up the dimly glowing lamp in the medicine box and asked, "What is this lamp used for?"

Qinghe raised the corner of his mouth and uttered two words faintly: "Soul summoning."

The resentful souls will slowly gather together following the guidance of the soul-guiding lamp.

Sasaoka's body froze, and he threw the lamp back into the medicine box with a gloomy look on his face: "What a devious way, what nonsense."

He said he didn't believe it, but his body honestly stayed away from the medicine box.

Time is running out, but the cause and effect of the monster's formation have not been revealed.

The cat has such a strong resentment because it was tortured and killed. This theory seems reasonable, but it is actually unlikely.

In a world dominated by humans, it is very difficult for these small animals to become powerful vengeful spirits. There must be deeper reasons for this.

The medicine seller raised his hand and covered every wall in the room with talisman paper, even the inner room where the corpse was kept.

"What are you doing, medicine seller! Your suspicion has not been cleared yet!" Odajima was ready to stop the medicine seller's behavior.

"Set up a barrier to resist the cat." The medicine seller looked at the maid Jia Shi: "Do you have salt? I need a lot of salt."

The maid, Jia Shi, nodded: "The salt shaker is behind the stove in the kitchen."

Qinghe ignored the knives placed around him and stood up slowly, "Salt won't stop it for long."

The medicine seller knew that the salt was just to buy time: "But it still has some effect, doesn't it?"

He must hurry to find the truth, then draw out the demon-killing sword and kill the monster.

"You two, behave yourself! If you move again, we won't be polite!" Fujiyama was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Yiguo, who was in a higher position, started to act up again: "There's no wine left, Riko, go get some."

Everyone saw what happened to Mi Ping when he went out alone just now, and the housekeeper is now scared to death.

But the master's orders had to be obeyed, so the housekeeper pointed the finger at the maid Jia Shi: "Jia Shi, didn't you hear me? Go to the kitchen and get some wine!"

The maid Jia Shi was also afraid. When it came to her life, the master's order meant nothing: "I won't go. It was you, the housekeeper Riko, who was called. I don't dare to go."

"You stupid girl, how dare you talk to me like that!" the housekeeper yelled ungracefully.

The medicine seller walked to the door and said, "I'll get it. It's just right. I need to go to the kitchen to get some salt."

Odashima was worried: "Are you planning to run away?"

"If you have any doubts, you can come with me." The medicine seller chuckled, "I'd be happy to have a bodyguard accompany me."

To be honest, the person who makes people feel safest here is the medicine seller who has always been suspected.

The maid Jia Shi hesitated for a few seconds and stood up as well: "I'll go with you."

There were finally three people who went to the kitchen to get something and check the situation outside.

The medicine seller, Odajima, and Kayo.

After the three of them left, the room fell into silence again.

Qinghe paced around the room, taking in its layout and structure.

Without the medicine seller to keep the peace, everyone else showed fear towards Haruka, who had an appearance different from that of an ordinary person.

And the faint murderous intent hidden under their fear.

Haruka walked around the room and then walked to the body in the middle of the room.

Because of the strange way Mi Ping died, no one has examined his body so far.

"How did he die?" Sasaoka asked.

Haruka observed the state of death of the corpse.

The corpse's eyes were wide open in horror, its limbs were twisted, and there were multiple collision injuries on its body.

The neck was twisted 180 degrees, and if nothing unexpected happened, this would be a fatal injury.

“Murder.”

Qinghe helped them recall: "Don't cats and dogs like to play with toys like this?"

"Pounce, bite, and swing. Chase, then pounce, bite, and swing again."

"Hit it on a flat surface, boom. Grab it, swing it, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Part of the sound they heard just now was the sound of the transformed cat torturing the corpse.

The housekeeper held his head and screamed, "Ahhhhh! Shut up, wild girl!"

"You guys are so weird." Qinghe found a clean seat and sat down again.

They don't care about the life or death of their own kind, but are afraid of revenge from their dead kind. How strange!

Not long after, the medicine seller and his companions came back.

Yiguo drank sip after sip of wine, as if trying to let the alcohol numb his nerves.

The housekeeper's son huddled in a corner nervously, muttering to himself.

With the help of Odashima and Kayo, the medicine seller drew a salt circle outside the room and placed some strange scales outside.

As soon as the cat appears, the bell on the scale will ring.

Based on the direction of the scale's tilt and the distance of the sound, the location of the monster can be determined.

The door was closed and the medicine seller pasted talisman paper all over the empty space.

"Now, who can tell me what happened here?" The medicine seller looked around.

No one answered, there was silence, a silence that could not be communicated.

This was the first time that the medicine seller felt so helpless against human beings.

He asked about form, truth and reason in order to draw the sword to exorcise demons, to kill the monsters and save them. What are they hiding?

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the medicine seller who couldn't find a breakthrough, Qinghe kindly came to his rescue: "Review it from the beginning, what is the trigger, what is the breaking point."

After decades of peace, why did the cat-transformation incident break out today?

Is today a special day?

"Today is the day that Miss Mao is getting married. The first person to die is the bride."

So he shouldn't dwell on what these people did to the cat.

Instead, we should explore what they did to make Hua Mao not allow a bride to appear in this family.
