In Village Chief Kang's narration, an incredulous event was unfolding.
"I'm afraid of dying... very afraid..." Village Chief Kang's eyes trembled, his voice shook as well, "So, I agreed to it... agreed to that voice."
"Then I discovered that a real exchange had occurred! My soul entered that child's body, and that child's soul was trapped in a decaying, old, dying body, and he died in my stead..."
Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan exchanged a glance, each seeing the doubt in the other's eyes.
Is this the power of the fierce ghost?
No... impossible.
Ghosts cannot make deals or cooperate with humans; in this world, ghosts are pure malice. They may speak, beguile, deceive, and mislead, but they would never truly allow Village Chief Kang to indefinitely prolong his life.
From Village Chief Kang's description, the voice he heard before his death was clearly rational, absolutely not a fierce ghost.
Could it be the key?
A key that could speak? A key that had developed self-awareness?
