Whose words were those exactly? Was it the old grandfather or the young vagrant?
The critical issue is, what exactly is the relationship between them?
They both appeared in this village at the same time and, moreover, both died here in a state of sudden death.
Of course, both of them fell into a state resembling death, and afterwards, reappeared in the village as ghosts.
Their every movement seemed to be in a completely fixed pattern, so even Liu Zheng couldn't figure out whether there was any necessary connection between them.
It's just that their routines, patterns, and the way they appeared were exactly the same.
Apart from these few connections, it seemed like there were no commonalities to be found.
All these mysteries, like swathes of fog, continuously lingered around Liu Zheng.
The night passed, and Liu Zheng felt calm and untroubled; he hadn't heard any noise at all.
