Jiang Cheng watched Luo He's retreating figure. During the May No. event, this man had left a deep impression on him. He was meticulous and powerful, and simply standing there gave people a sense of security.
Jiang Cheng still remembered how wary the Straw God had been of this guy during the May No. incident. It had even used the officers in the instance to forcibly lock him up.
Luo He didn't open the door right away. He simply rested his hand lightly against it, as if sensing what was outside.
About five seconds later, the door creaked open.
The dim passage beyond was empty.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But then Luo He stepped outside and reached to the right of the door. Slowly, he dragged out a wooden cart.
The moment Bai Xi and Lu Yu saw the cart, their expressions changed. Teacher Zi Gui instinctively pulled them behind her. After all, they remembered clearly that the space outside had been empty before they came in. There hadn't been any cart.
A filthy cloth covered the cart. There was enough room beneath it to hide a person—or, more accurately... a corpse.
Jiang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
Because just then, he caught a fleeting whiff of roasted meat.
It smelled like meat that had been burned to a crisp.
Only then did Jiang Cheng notice that although the cart was crudely made, it still had the general shape of a food trolley.
Corpse, food trolley, burnt meat... As the words came together, a horrifying image flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind.
There might be a charred corpse hidden inside that cart!
Luo He reached out, as if to pull the cloth off the cart. Jiang Cheng didn't have time to stop him.
