The old woman's expression changed instantly when she heard me:
"Was it that rat spirit in Room Three?"
I nodded.
"Seems like it was Room Three. She even wanted to make a deal with me. I think she needs to be put in her place."
As soon as I finished speaking, the old woman threw the sweater in her hands onto the floor.
"That bitch! Just watch me deal with her!"
With that, she grabbed a knitting needle and headed into the inner room.
Only then did I realize that, judging by her fierce expression, this old woman wasn't human either.
Because I could vaguely see several whiskers appearing on her face.
She seemed to be a rat herself.
I froze for a moment but said nothing.
I did not leave until she shut the door to the inner room.
It looked like that rat spirit was about to get beaten up...
There was no need for me to concern myself with what happened next, so I left.
Once I stepped out of the noodle shop, I felt refreshed. My left hand was still a little sore and weak, but it was much better than being numb.
After resting for a day, I would probably be heading to Ghost Cry City.
We needed to enter Ghost Cry City in Great Peace Ridge on the night of the first day of the lunar month and obtain the Blood Dew that same night.
On the way back, I called my master and told him that my hand had been healed.
At the same time, I told him that the Secret Bureau was investigating Gray Nine Heavens. I had suggested that, if time permitted, we help them take down Gray Nine Heavens.
If they received any news, they would contact us as well...
