Assistant Cheng glanced at the horizon—it was long past sunset, yet they were still here, in this vast, desolate graveyard. This place was eerie enough on its own, being the resting place of the dead. But with his boss acting strangely, Assistant Cheng felt even more unsettled.
He glanced at the empty field. Was it really okay to leave him there alone?
Fei Chuan suddenly dropped to his knees, searching through the grass. Then, without warning, he froze as if bewitched. Assistant Cheng called out to him several times, but he remained motionless, his eyes wide, his usually stoic expression shaken—almost as if he had been struck by lightning.
Assistant Cheng followed his gaze to the ground, but there was nothing there—just grass and dirt. Was there something else he couldn't see?
In the end, his boss, in a hoarse voice, told him to leave him alone for a moment.
