East Ocean Song...

Luohe took out his phone and tapped the screen a few times. Immediately, a mournful melody filled the air, carrying a trace of etherealness.

There was no need to ask Boss Sang for help anymore; his reaction had already said everything.

The moment the melody began, he trembled like a frightened rabbit, his eyes staring at Luohe as if he had seen a ghost.

"Sakura no Ochiru" (Cherry Blossom Fall)

What he played was "Sakura no Ochiru" (Cherry Blossom Fall). Although it wasn't very clear, anyone who had heard this melody once would never forget it.

It was a folk song sung in Yangzi's hometown.

But at this moment, this folk song was intertwined with ghosts in everyone's heart. Terrible things would happen wherever the song appeared.

"You, how could you...?" Boss Sang's face was filled with terror. Clearly, he had connected the people in front of him with what had happened last night.

Now things were gradually becoming clear. If the man in front of him wasn't lying, then the identity of this ghost could be confirmed.

Just as they had guessed, it was someone from the East Ocean.

Someone from the East Ocean who came from the same place as Yangzi.

But to be precise, this was just the form he was showing. Digging deeper, this East Ocean person was once a disciple.

But now, it seemed that he had been completely eroded by the Door within his body, turning into a walking corpse.

Huai Yi thought to himself, similar to Xiang Nan in the hospital instance.

Lin Wan'er turned her head and looked at the photos on the wall. "So you found all the photos and stuck them on the wall because you wanted to find this East Ocean person?"

"That's right!" Boss Sang gasped for breath. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he steadied himself against the wall and stood up shakily. "It's strange, even though I didn't see the East Ocean person's face, I only saw his shadow through the curtain, but..."

Boss Sang gritted his teeth and said, "I just feel like he looks familiar. I think I've seen him before."

"To be honest, I also hate these East Ocean people. I avoid dealing with them if I can, but when they come to me, I don't dare to refuse. The East Ocean people I've come into contact with all want me to take photos of them."

Boss Sang's thinking was very clear. His ways of meeting East Ocean people were limited. If he felt like he recognized someone, then it was most likely someone he had taken a photo of before.

That was why he had found all the photos of East Ocean people and was identifying them one by one.

"Did you find him?" Pi Ruan asked.

Hearing this, Boss Sang shook his head. "No."

After saying this, Boss Sang turned around and looked at the photos on the wall with a strange expression. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

In everyone's opinion, it was normal that he hadn't found him. After all, it was unrealistic for him to keep every photo he had ever taken of an East Ocean person.

Moreover, human memory was very deceptive. In a state of extreme panic, it was possible that Boss Sang had mistaken someone.

He was just an ordinary person.

Just as Huai Yi was about to speak, Boss Sang suddenly turned around, looked at them, and said, "I know what you're thinking. You think I'm mistaken, right?"

"But I'm telling you, no, absolutely not!" As his breathing quickened, Boss Sang's tone became firmer. "I can feel it, he's here!"

"He's here!"

"He's here... watching me!"

Seeing that Boss Sang's emotions were about to get out of control, Luohe quickly reached out and placed a hand on his face, his thumb and middle finger resting on Boss Sang's temples. Then, he exerted a little force.

A sharp pain like lightning struck Boss Sang's head. Gradually, he calmed down, and his breathing wasn't as rapid as before.

"Boss Sang," Luohe said, looking at him. His pair of azure eyes were as calm as the deep sea. He slowly retracted his hand and said in a soothing tone, "Please calm down."

Boss Sang exhaled a long breath. "I'm... I'm sorry."

The moment Luohe's hand covered Boss Sang's face, Huai Yi's expression suddenly changed. For no reason, he felt a strong sense of palpitations.

It was as if an invisible hand had suddenly grabbed his neck.

As a disciple, his perception was much sharper than that of ordinary people, especially when it came to that kind of thing.

His mind went blank for a moment.

Vaguely, a tall and magnificent figure seemed to appear behind Luohe.

The figure held a huge book in his hand. It had a black cover, was ancient and solemn, and filled with a strong religious aura.

The holy light was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

The pressure it exuded could even rival the shadow behind Jiang Cheng. A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Huai Yi's heart.

Based on what he had learned during this time, Lin Wan'er, Jiang Cheng, and Wang Fugui were all official members of Deep Red, and their methods were conceivable.

And based on the aura that Luohe exuded, he was definitely a very difficult character among the Night Watchmen. There was also that foul-mouthed loli...

Huai Yi secretly glanced at Fu Fu with an unnoticeable gaze. What made his back turn cold was that Fu Fu was also staring at him, her lips slightly curved upward.

As expected...

Luohe and Fu Fu had come prepared.

People like this would never take action for a mission that barely reached B-level. The only explanation was... their target wasn't this mission at all, but Deep Red!

This mission was probably a scam, just to lure Deep Red in and then wipe out their elites in one fell swoop.

While Huai Yi was thinking, he suddenly noticed another gaze. Following the gaze, he saw Lin Wan'er.

She was just silently looking at him. Her eyes were clearly emotionless, but Huai Yi understood.

Immediately afterward, an unprecedented strange feeling exploded in his heart.

Unlike fear, it was a kind of unease.

This woman seemed to see through him, see through his entanglement, helplessness, hesitation, fear, and wavering...

Her gaze was like a scalpel, disassembling him into small pieces, then analyzing and devouring him little by little. He had no secrets in front of her.

Whether it was now, in the past, or in the future...

His life seemed to be just a straight line that could be seen to the end in her eyes.

What was this?

Was it her ability?

No, it couldn't be. There was no way such an ability could exist. Even the Gate of the Weird wouldn't produce something like this.

He must be mistaken!

Huai Yi had a very bad feeling. He seemed to be caught in a huge vortex, and any splash of water in it could lead to his doom.

And the beginning of all this was meeting that man.

Deep Red, Jiang Cheng.

It was too late to consider leaving now. He wasn't a hesitant person either. Ignoring Fu Fu's gaze, he firmly took a step and walked to Lin Wan'er's side.
