After hearing the village chief's story, the two men had a eureka moment: "No wonder these living corpses are so hardy, unlike any ordinary person could refine. So they were lost."
"Are lost living corpses a common occurrence?"
The village chief shook his head: "How could it be? I've lived eighty years and this is the first time I've seen ownerless living corpses. I've only heard people mention it before."
"May I ask, what are the reasons for a living corpse to become ownerless?"
"I've heard people say there are only two reasons. Either the owner is dead, so the living corpse loses control and wanders aimlessly day after day, or the owner willingly releases control of the living corpse. Otherwise, it is because the living corpses revolt and eat their owner."
"Judging from the living corpses in our village, they're not bloodthirsty and don't seem to fit the third scenario."
"Is there a way to find the master of the living corpses?"
