Not long after, Xiang Yue walked over carrying a basin of water. "Mr. Li, the water has crossed the line."

I waved my hand and said, "Double the commission! Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections!" Someone answered symbolically. I then said again, "I only want the original commission. The extra money will be divided equally among everyone. A warlock cannot be humiliated."

"This…" The warlocks present were all stunned.

After a moment, someone stepped forward. "Mr. Li's righteousness is something I, Wang Tianhai, am ashamed to accept. If Mr. Li needs anything, just say the word. All thirty-two warlocks under the Tianhai Sect will definitely be there. Not for anything else, but because a warlock cannot be humiliated."

Wang Tianhai didn't say anything more, accepted the commission, clasped his fist, and left.

Another person stood up and said, "I haven't earned it, so I don't deserve the reward. I dare not accept your kindness, and I hope you understand, sir."

"It's a small matter!" I waved my hand slightly, and the other party clasped his fist and left.

Xiang Yue had brought a total of seven people. Besides the two I had thrown out, only Wang Tianhai had taken my commission.

However, there was still a sickly-looking man standing there. When I looked at him, he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly twice. "I am Wen Yile. I suppose you could say I'm from the world of術 (shù – esoteric arts)!"

I looked at him and said, "My money. Are you taking it or not?"

"I'll take it!" Wen Yile said, "I've been away from the world of術 (shù – esoteric arts) for many years. I need this money. I'll take the money, and when you want my life, just say the word."

When I looked at him, Wen Yile also met my gaze with clear eyes.

I pressed down on the box of money and pushed it forward. "The rest is yours."

"Good!" Wen Yile didn't say "Thank you," only said "Good," picked up the box of money, and left without looking back.

Old Liu looked at his back and said in a low voice, "He's a character. Worth being careful of!"

Old Liu gave Wen Yile an eight-character evaluation.

I had a feeling that I would see Wen Yile again soon.

I suppressed my curiosity about Wen Yile. "Mr. Xiang, our grudges are settled. Please go back. You can leave Xiang Yunshang and Yun Ya behind."

Xiang Yue nodded, and someone pushed Yun Ya in on a wheelchair. Yun Ya at this time looked like a husk that had had its soul taken away. Her eyes were not only lifeless, but her face even had a hint of the deathly pallor that people have before they die.

What was even stranger was that Yun Ya was actually wearing a shroud that dead people wear.

Shroud-type clothes are relatively large compared to normal clothes. Only when the shroud is loose is it easy to put on the deceased. However, the shroud on Yun Ya's body was very fitting, and it looked like it had been specially tailored for her.

In the shroud business, there is no such thing as going to someone's house to take measurements.

I waved my hand in front of Yun Ya's eyes and found that her eyes could no longer focus. "This is… the Ten-Day Life Extinguisher?"

I had only heard of the Ten-Day Life Extinguisher before, and had never actually seen it. The so-called Ten-Day Life Extinguisher is like a curse placed on a living person by a ghost, and within ten days, the cursed person's body will undergo corresponding changes.

Some people say that this change is similar to Tianren Wushuai (天人五衰 – the five signs of decay in heavenly beings), but it is slightly different from Tianren Wushuai (天人五衰 – the five signs of decay in heavenly beings). There are various versions, but the last step must be scattered pupils.

The victim's pupils dilate, and no one can save them.

I pondered, "According to the time, Yun Ya should have been in danger for more than six days. Apart from showing a little deathly pallor, there doesn't seem to be any change in her!"

Ye Yang said, "It should be the shroud on her body that delayed the onset of the Ten-Day Life Extinguisher. Where did this shroud come from? Who put it on her?"

Xiang Yunshang said, "Yun Ya put it on herself. Actually, problems occurred on the first night we arrived at Yunjiaji. It can be said that the problem occurred right under your noses."

I pulled a chair over for Xiang Yunshang. "Tell me slowly."

Xiang Yunshang sat down and said, "That night, Yun Ya and I had the same dream."

That day, after I fell asleep, I heard someone outside calling me: "Yunshang, come out quickly, I'll take you away."

I stood up and looked out the window, and saw a man in black calling me downstairs. At first, I didn't recognize who he was, but the more I looked at him, the more he looked like my father. Later, I really recognized that it was my father calling me.

At that time, I wanted to call you, but you were no longer in the room.

I thought to myself that I couldn't wander around, I had to wait until you came back. However, I couldn't help but walk outside.

When I walked downstairs, I happened to see the hotel owner squatting at the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw me come down, he specifically turned his head to look at me, and didn't even ask me for the room fee.

I was just about to talk to him when my father dragged me out and pulled me into a black van.

My father drove around the county town for a few circles without going out, and I couldn't help but ask, "Dad, where are you taking me? Why did you kick me out?"

My father said to me without turning his head, "I'll take you to buy clothes."

Before I could figure out what was going on, my father stopped the car in front of a shroud shop. "Go down, the third piece of clothing from the top on the left side of the counter is just right for you. Go directly and give him the money, put on the clothes and leave. Got it?"
