"Holy shit!"

As soon as Ye Qianfan came out, Li Pu jumped back, frantically fanning the air in front of him. "Station Chief, how can you stand that smell? It's overpowering!"

"You get used to it."

After that offhand reply, Ye Qianfan told the others, "I just checked. Every corpse inside is missing its heart. I suspect the Evil Spirit this time is something that specifically eats hearts."

"A zombie! It has to be a zombie!" Li Pu immediately declared. "I've stitched up corpses without hearts before. The people who brought them said zombies had dug their hearts out. So all we need to do is watch for zombies coming to the mortuary tonight, and we can settle this!"

"It definitely won't be that easy." Shi Guang shook his head. "I checked the records for this mission. Two teams of Nuo Masters have already come here, and one was a veteran team that had completed plenty of Grade B missions. If it were a zombie, there's no way they would have fallen here."

Shi Guang asked, feeling that sleeping in coffins at a mortuary was hardly auspicious.

"What if that old man lied to us?"
