Upon hearing my mentor say that, my doubts grew even stronger. Could it be that there was an Array set up in Brother Zhang's home, preventing the souls of those killed boys from leaving? Is that why weeping sounds emanated at midnight? Combining this with the hesitant attitude of Aunt Wang and her husband, it seemed quite possible. And then there was that black cat; it must have sensed something, which is why it wandered around the yard. Or perhaps, the location of that Array was in the room I pushed open but did not enter that night?
"And what about the souls that are summoned back and about to be reincarnated? Will they reanimate a corpse?" I couldn't figure this out. Even if the souls returned, if they remain unseen and untouched, wouldn't it be just as futile?
