"It's not just a feeling; we'll know for sure if we check," Yao Shunyu said with an unusual stubbornness. "Brother Wang, do you remember where the person you saw in a daze by the river... touched you?"

At that moment, Fatty seemed to realize something too. He looked at the doctor, his eyes pleading for confirmation, as the doctor was the person he trusted most.

Jiang Cheng said calmly, "I didn't go anywhere. Li Bai and Yao Shunyu were right beside me. You can ask them."

Hearing the doctor's words, Fatty suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He didn't need the doctor to explain or offer proof. He trusted the doctor implicitly. A simple yes or no from him would have sufficed.

Even if the doctor was lying, it must be because Li Bai and Yao Shunyu were present. Fatty understood completely.

But judging from his understanding of the doctor, it seemed the latter was being serious this time.

Fatty recalled carefully, then pointed to a spot slightly below his shoulder, saying with uncertainty, "It feels like... it was here, but I'm not sure. I just... I just have that feeling."

Yao Shunyu first looked at Jiang Cheng. After Jiang Cheng didn't object, he cautiously suggested that Fatty take off his clothes. Fatty tentatively looked at Jiang Cheng, who nodded.

Seeming to find the atmosphere awkward, Li Bai tried to smooth things over, saying, "No need to take them all off, just lift up your shirt."

As Fatty turned his back to the three and slowly lifted his shirt, revealing most of his back, Jiang Cheng, Yao Shunyu, and Li Bai's expressions changed drastically.

On the spot Wang Fugui had indicated, there was a handprint.

It was a left hand.

It wasn't the dark, venomous kind, but a pale red one. Looking at the size and color of the handprint, it didn't evoke any fear; instead, it seemed rather ordinary.

Lifting his shirt with both hands, Fatty faced away from the others, unaware of what was happening. But he heard the sudden silence behind him. "What's wrong? Did you find something? Huh? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out his left hand, pressing it towards the handprint. In an unbelievable scene, Jiang Cheng's hand matched the handprint on Fatty's shoulder perfectly.

Yao Shunyu looked at Jiang Cheng, his eyes filled with not only fear, but also an indescribable strangeness. Li Bai even took two steps back, distancing himself from Jiang Cheng.

Withdrawing his hand, Jiang Cheng patted Fatty on the shoulder. "Alright, put your shirt down."

Fatty quickly turned around, as if granted amnesty, but he also sensed that the atmosphere behind him was off. Apart from the doctor's expression, which he managed to maintain, Yao Shunyu and Li Bai's faces were frighteningly grim.

"What happened?" Fatty feared sudden silence the most.

"Nothing."

Fatty's tense face relaxed, and he took a breath. Before his relieved smile could fully form, he heard Jiang Cheng say, "Your feeling was right. Something did push you, and it left a red handprint on your shoulder."

Fatty: "??!"

Yao Shunyu reacted immediately, adding, "Brother Wang, don't be afraid. Although that... that person left a handprint, we can sense that they weren't malicious, so don't worry."

"Person?"

Although Fatty was slow to react, this time he accurately seized the loophole in Yao Shunyu's words. How could he use the word "person" to describe it? Could the thing that infiltrated the Yin road to save him be human?

Jiang Cheng didn't waste any time and immediately questioned Yao Shunyu. The fact that he could ask this series of questions and advocate for Fatty to lift his shirt for inspection clearly meant he knew some inside information.

Yao Shunyu didn't hide anything and directly lifted his shirt. On his waist, slightly higher up, there was also a handprint, identical in shape and size to the one on Fatty's body.

However, the color of the handprint was much lighter, making it seem as if it would disappear soon.

Yao Shunyu lowered his shirt, took a breath, and slowly exhaled, recalling, "When Brother Wang was carrying me and rushing outwards, we originally had no chance of escaping. The hanged ghost's noose had already swung over, about to ensnare Brother Wang or my neck, but then I suddenly heard a sigh in my ear, a real sigh, I can be sure! Then... then a force behind me pushed me hard, and Brother Wang and I escaped."

"It was that force that saved us. At first, I thought it was a hallucination caused by excessive tension or blood loss, but then I discovered this handprint."

Yao Shunyu's handprint was located more to the side, a little above his waist. He could see it himself as long as he turned slightly.

"When I first discovered it, the color of the handprint was as dark as Brother Wang's, but slowly, the color faded. During this process, I didn't feel any discomfort. The other party wasn't malicious; they just wanted to save people."

"The main goal was to save Brother Wang; saving me was just a side effect."

Yao Shunyu was a very open-minded person. In his opinion, the process and purpose of the other party were not important. What was important was that he survived because of the other party's help.

"It's a pity it wasn't me who did it, and I don't know why this is the case," Jiang Cheng said, raising his left hand, clearly referring to the fact that the two handprints completely overlapped.

Yao Shunyu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I believe you, Brother Jiang. After all, you've been with us the whole time and haven't had time to save people. And I think with your and Brother Wang's abilities, you wouldn't need to lie to us. I'm just wondering... could it be that the guy from Brother Wang's sect has awakened early?"

This sentence provided the most reasonable explanation for the matter, but at the same time, Jiang Cheng was thinking about what Wu had said not long ago. Wu said that he sensed Jiang Cheng's aura on Fatty.

Adding to that the handprint that perfectly matched his own, it seemed that a huge mystery was hidden behind all of this, as if another, completely different self was hidden in this Fatty beside him.

"Hmm?"

Li Bai suddenly noticed that Yuan Shanyuan and Bai Yu, who had been following far behind, were gone. Looking ahead, he saw several blurry figures moving non-stop in the distance.

"It's Luo Tianhe, Yuan Shanyuan, and Bai Yu, the three of them."

Fatty squinted and looked ahead. His eyesight was very good, but he couldn't understand why the three of them were all in such a hurry, as if something was chasing them from behind.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and Jiang Cheng immediately realized the problem. "That's not right, they're after that mirror!"

The mirror that could deter ghosts had been forgotten by them in the hanged ghost's ghost wall. Seeing Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan in such a hurry, they obviously had a plan to seize the treasure.

"Chase after them! Even if we have to destroy that mirror, we can't let it fall into their hands!"
