Inside Warehouse No. 14, Mr. Liu sat upright on several wooden crates, one hand pressing down on his sword. His right hand was wrapped in white cloth, dotted with crimson, and the cloth also bound his hand to the sword hilt. Not far away, several corpses dressed in Ghost Chariot attire lay sprawled before the entrance. No one had dared force their way inside since then.
