"Demons?" Tang Fengyi showed a fearful expression.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Have any strange incidents occurred in Jiangdu City recently?"
Tang Fengyi thought for a moment. "Yes."
"In the western outskirts, there is a Mass Burial Ground, originally a place where Jiangdu City buried its dead. Homeless refugees who sometimes collapsed and died by the roadside would be thrown into the Mass Burial Ground. Perhaps demons are at work, but strange occurrences have been frequent there lately. Many people have seen ghostly flames flickering, and others have heard a woman crying."
Bai Xiaowen sighed. "The world is in chaos, with bandits rising everywhere. Even in prosperous Jiangdu City, people are displaced every day. Perhaps the woman's cries people heard were merely refugee widows weeping at graves. They might not be ghosts at all."
Tang Fengyi shook his head. "The Li brothers, Left and Right Thousand Ox Guards, once sent people to investigate, but none of those who went ever returned... Many people said the place was haunted. When the Li brothers tried to send more men, no one was willing to go."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly received a notification.
"Special Side Quest: [Deliverance of the Dead] activated." "[Quest Objective: Deliver the dead souls at the Mass Burial Ground in the western outskirts.]" "[Quest Difficulty: Data Disorder, unable to assess.]" "[Quest Time Limit: Data Disorder, unable to generate.]" "[Quest Reward: Data Disorder, unable to generate.]" "[Quest Hint: Reality and illusion are separated by only a thin line. A single thought can lead to different outcomes.]"
Bai Xiaowen said, "According to Lord Tang, the Mass Burial Ground west of the city is indeed rather strange and must be investigated. However, we have only just arrived and do not know the way. I hope Lord Tang can send someone to guide us."
