After coaxing Lilia into willingly taking the bait with just a few words, Lin Yuan returned to the Coffin to wait for his next victim.
He did, however, stick one foot out of the Coffin's side door, secretly using the Shell Pump to keep it moving.
Although this was slower than propelling it openly, it was still reasonably fast. At this rate, he would return to the route in less than two days.
