"": "Or was this the Poison Cat starting to harm people?

Harming people meant it would inevitably expose itself, so it had chosen him first. He would certainly be capable of causing tremendous destruction.

Had it then discovered that Lu Fu was a better choice? Was it easier for a Town Chief to kill people?

"Luo?" Zhang Baijiao waved a hand, bringing Luo Bin out of his thoughts.

"You still haven't told me whether there's..." Zhang Baijiao asked again.

Luo Bin looked Zhang Baijiao squarely in the eye and said, "Something's happened to Lu Fu. I don't know the details yet, but a lot of people have surrounded his house."

Anxiety instantly filled Zhang Baijiao's eyes. "They can't surround Lu Fu! We have to explain things to everyone! Otherwise, we'll only make him think the entire town is dangerous!"

"Let's go!"

With that, Zhang Baijiao hurried out of the small room, then out of the Medicine Shop, heading toward town.

Luo Bin followed close behind Zhang Baijiao. When they reached the main road, he said quietly, "You can't tell the Town Residents that the Poison Cat possessed you."

"Then how do we explain it?!" Zhang Baijiao immediately shook his head. "We have to explain everything clearly. We can't let people misunderstand Lu Fu, can we? Besides, I'm fine now. Our immediate priority is finding out who the Poison Cat is possessing! Everyone needs to understand what's happening, and Lu Fu needs to take charge."

"This is Cabinet Mountain Town. The first thing they'll do is burn you. You can't prove the Poison Cat has left your body. They'd sooner kill a thousand innocent people than risk letting a single culprit go."

"You're the doctor. You can say..." Luo Bin spoke quietly to Zhang Baijiao, coaching him.
