After putting on his clothes and locking the door, Shang Yan took the bus around the town and entered the city.

This time it was mainly to complete that limited-time mission, thanks to the water of the moon well, Shang Yan's injuries on his back would no longer hinder his movements, although the wound had not yet healed, the scab was enough for Shang Yan to no longer feel the pain of the wound rubbing against his clothes.

When the Huancheng bus arrived at the terminal, Shang Yan changed two more buses to reach the North Block.

The North Block used to be the center of Wencheng, but with the expansion of the city area during the reform years, the location of the city center was also transferred, and the North Block lost the opportunity for prosperous development.

In the north block, you can see the most old restaurants, snack shops, grocery stores, etc., and even many old buildings on the street.

Following the door number all the way, Shang Yan successfully found the location of No. 31 in the North Block.

Xiao's shop, a Mao Cai restaurant.

At this time, the door of the store was covered with white flowers and black cloth, and a large number of wreaths were placed on both sides of the door, and the discerning person could tell what was going on here.

As soon as Shang Yan walked in the door, a man wearing a black armband on his arm stood up from his seat, his face was a little gloomy and said, "It's not open recently, please go back." ”

The store is full of gloomy, even if you don't turn on the electric fan or air conditioner, you can feel a chill, and it is really comfortable to suddenly walk into this kind of place from the sun on a hot day, and Shang Yan instantly felt that the beads of sweat flowing from his back were dry.

"I'm not here to eat." Shang Yan sat directly on the seat next to him.

The man was suspicious: "Then you are here?" ”

"Is something wrong with you guys? Tell me about it, maybe I can help. Shang Yan didn't beat around the bush, and directly told his intentions.

This is a time-limited task, there is a time limit, Shang Yan didn't have the heart to investigate secretly, and slowly relied on his own means to dig out the situation of this store.

Hearing Shang Yan's question, the man was stunned for a moment, and said with some unwillingness to admit it: "I don't know what you're talking about, I said that our store is not open today, so you can leave quickly." ”

Shang Yan said slowly: "Dude, there are some things that will not end well if you hide them, and there may even be things that are easy to deal with into extremely dangerous things, and there will be no way to target them when the time comes." ”

"I really don't know what you're talking about, you guy has to have a degree of pretending to be a ghost, don't set me on fire and call the police to arrest you." The man slammed his fist on the table, and his tone was quite angry.

Shang Yan was helpless, how could this script be different from what he imagined, according to his plan, if this man really encountered something wrong, he would definitely explain a thing or two to himself, and ask the dead horse doctor to see if there was any solution.

Shang Yan had no choice but to get up, and was unwilling to leave this Mao Cai restaurant.

"Wait!"

At this moment, an old woman suddenly came out of the kitchen, she looked at Shang Yan and asked, "How did you find here?" ”

"Secret, if you're really in trouble, I might be able to help."

The old grandmother's expression was a little hesitant, as a normal person, suddenly one day a stranger ran to you and said that there is a problem in your family, I can help, this is changed to most people will not believe it, and will only treat the other party as a liar.

However, Shang Yan is not talking nonsense or abducting and cheating, and there is actually a problem with this family.

"Then come in." After thinking for a while, the old grandmother still nodded and said.

"Grandma, it's not necessary!" The man immediately stood up from his seat, looking rather reluctant.

"Your grandfather has done his duty all his life, and he hasn't done anything bad, and after he died, that kind of thing suddenly appeared in his body, how could I bear to let him be cremated like this." The old grandmother sighed: "Young man, come with me." ”

followed the old grandmother into the kitchen, and then walked from the back door of the kitchen to the backyard, Shang Yan realized that the storefront and the building behind it were one.

Outside the kitchen is a fairly large backyard, with sheds and mourning halls in the courtyard, but there is not a single living person in sight.

Shang Yan couldn't help but ask, "Is there no one here?" ”

"My old man's first seven years have passed, and he was supposed to be sent to be cremated, but because there were some inconvenient things to see, I asked my relatives to go back."

Walking into the mourning hall, Shang Yan saw two men and women wearing filial piety clothes sitting next to the coffin, looking very depressed, and seeing the old grandmother come in with a stranger, the man couldn't help asking, "Mom, who is he?" ”

The old woman didn't answer, but turned to Shang Yan and said, "I don't know why, as soon as the old man of my family passed the first seven days, there was a very strange change in his body, which was strange and scary to look at." ”

"It's okay, I'm bold, let me see."

The old grandmother walked directly to the coffin and reached out to push the coffin board open, but she was so old, so she naturally had more than enough heart to do this kind of thing.

The two men and women next to him hurriedly came over to help, and soon the coffin board was pushed open by a third, revealing the body inside.

This is an old man wearing a shroud, his face has been treated with funeral makeup, his face is white and his lips are red, and although his hair is sparse, it is neatly combed and not messy.

The moment Shang Yan saw this old corpse, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The old man's eyes, nostrils, and mouth were covered with slender and thick branches and leaves, which made his head look like a potted vessel.

The old man's face had a total of five branches and leaves, and the one that grew from his mouth was the thickest and tallest.

These branches and leaves are dark green and dark in color, and there are swollen lumps the size of thumb nails on the surface, which are quite disgusting.

"This, is this what you ate before you died?" Shang Yan frowned.

"No, there was nothing at first, just after the first seven, this kind of thing happened." The old grandmother said.

"Mom, who the hell is he?" The middle-aged man standing next to him couldn't help but ask.

Shang Yan took out a peace charm from his pocket and tentatively pressed it on the old corpse's forehead, intending to see if it would have any effect.

As a result, everything was calm, and it looked like it should be ineffective.

"Isn't it a ghost?" Shang Yan touched his chin, since the peace charm has no effect, then change the trick.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shang Yan took out a gossip mirror from his pocket, which was the True Appearance Mirror he had obtained from the task reward before.

Placing the treasure mirror above the old corpse's face, Shang Yan looked at the mirror and immediately saw the face of the old corpse reflected in the treasure mirror.

However, in addition to this, there was an abominable bleak face grinning at the mirror at the position of the old corpse's face.
