Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Zhong Ran walked out of the house and just heard some servants whispering.

"Did some foul creature come to our house? How could ordinary thieves move tables and chairs without alerting anyone?"

"Isn't that right? I heard a dried corpse was found over there. It looked scary."

"Is it true? Did you see it?"

"How could I dare to go and see it? I heard that even men would be so frightened that their legs would weaken when they saw it."

"Mummy? Doesn't that mean..."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, it will be bad if the master hears it."

"Did you see the lady just now? Her hair..."

"I saw it. It's hard to describe. I must have provoked something unclean."

Dirty (Zhong Ran) things: ...

Mummy? The thin figure inexplicably appeared in her mind, and she turned and walked outside.

Servants were running around everywhere, holding lanterns. No one walked alone, but in groups, looking around carefully as they walked.

Not only was the entire mansion emptied, but even the masters' hair was shaved.

This made them inexplicably think of a possibility: alopecia areata!

The inexplicable discovery of the mummy further confirmed their guess.

If they were really thieves, they would not be afraid.

But such a strange thing scared them to death.

Zhong Ran grabbed a servant and asked for the direction of the mummy, then walked towards it. On the way, he met Zhong Qingshan, who was supported by the housekeeper, and two other men with messy hair, Zhong Qingfeng and Zhong Qingshu.

She didn't know what the relationship between those two people and Zhong Qingshan was. The original owner had not seen them when she returned home.

But she knew that they were the masters and there were many good things in their yard, so she accepted them without hesitation.

She hid in the crowd and did not show up in front of them. At this time, she could just hide behind them and watch the joke. There was no need to step forward and be a punching bag.

"My Lord, it's just ahead." The butler's voice was trembling, hoping that the mummy could save their lives.

After such a long time, it was already dawn. Zhong Qingshan, who was supposed to go to court, asked someone to ask for leave on his behalf. At the same time, he also sent someone to report the case.

How could we not report such a big thing?

A number of brave servants gathered in front, surrounding the corpse and talking about it.

"The Marquis is here." someone shouted.

The people surrounding them made way for Zhong Qingshan and the others to enter.

Zhong Ran also took the opportunity to squeeze in. When she saw the dried corpse on the ground clearly, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

All the flesh and blood on the mummy had been devoured, leaving only a piece of skin wrapped around the bones, and the clothes on the body hung loosely on the body.

Although she was a little far away, her five senses were sharp and she could sense that her internal organs had all lost their vitality and become shriveled.

This was a death caused by having all her flesh and blood devoured from the inside out. There seemed to be a look of panic in her wide-open eyes.

"Who discovered it first?" Zhong Qingshan's trembling voice reached her ears, bringing her back to her senses.

She was also curious, when was it discovered?

"Just half an hour ago, right here, I heard a scream and came here with my companions."

The ones who responded were the two servants who had first sent out the mummy.

"She must have been the one who screamed about the ghost. When we rushed over and found her, she looked like this."

He even tripped and felt that he would have nightmares for the next period of time.

"How long did it take from the time you heard the scream to the time you discovered her like this?" Zhong Qingshan still retained some rationality and asked the question to the point.

"It will be quick, probably less than half a cup of tea."

Zhong Qingshan and others were dumbfounded. In other words, in less than half a cup of tea, a living being had become like this?

Even a fool would know that this is definitely not normal.

But they find it hard to accept such a thing.

Could it be that they really provoked some unclean thing, which is why this happened?

Zhong Ran looked around. Why did this direction feel familiar to her?

Oh, she walked by here before.

Wasn't it her who came out of the deserted yard over there half an hour ago?

"Master, this place is very close to that place. Could it be that he did it?"

The housekeeper spoke cautiously, secretly pointing towards the abandoned courtyard.

There's a real disaster living in that abandoned yard over there.

Could it be related to him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the eldest lady who came back home two days ago and was still showing her great power during the day.

The housekeeper knew that they were twins, and both the brother and sister were extremely strange.

Such a big incident has never happened in the mansion before. Is it because the two siblings were separated?

Now that the siblings are together, the evil spirit is even greater, and the Marquis's Mansion can't bear it?

But he didn't dare say this out loud.

What if the news gets to the ears of those two evildoers and the young master runs to his house? Wouldn’t he be suffocated to death?

Zhong Qingshan was also startled, but he quickly came to his senses.

"What nonsense! Those who came into contact with him in the past simply slowly withered away and died, not turned into mummies like this."

"From the time he approached him until his death, it took at least half a year. How could he die in such a short time?"

Although he said this, doubts also arose in his heart.

But he still tried to convince himself: "If it was really him, then what about the theft in the mansion?"

After a pause, he continued, "You, take a few brave people over to see if he's there."

The butler was startled and felt a little regretful. Why did he mention that disaster star for no reason?

"My Lord, I've thought about it and it can't be the Second Young Master. If it were really him, this wouldn't be the first time this has happened."

He also hurriedly defended Zhong Yan: "I guess this maid just happened to encounter a thief who stole something, which is why she suffered this crime."

This statement resonated with many people, but someone murmured quietly: "Who is the thief?"

No one speaks.

No one knows who the thief is, and how he could turn a living person into a mummy so quickly.

Those are far beyond their understanding.

"My Lord, the people from the Dali Temple are here. I heard that the Emperor also sent Prince Yan and people from the Ministry of Justice."

In the distance, someone shouted loudly.

When Zhong Qingshan heard that the emperor had also sent Prince Yan to visit, the expression on his face was indescribable.

But he still led people forward to greet them.

After everyone left, Zhong Ran hesitated for a moment, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly walked towards the yard over there.

When she walked into the yard, Zhong Yan was also standing under the eaves, looking into the distance towards the mansion.

The mansion was very lively tonight, and he also heard the noise.

The brother and sister stood, one under the eaves and the other at the gate of the yard, looking at each other across the yard.

Now that he could see clearly, Zhong Ran could see that the young man had a delicate appearance and was very thin, like a bamboo pole.

He was taller than her, and his facial features were not exactly similar to hers, but about 50% or 60% similar.

At least, one can tell at a glance that they are siblings.

"Sister, why are you here at this hour? Leave quickly, they will find you soon."

When Zhong Yan saw her, he looked anxious, and the worry in his eyes didn't seem fake.
