“There’s one more thing, and it’s very important.” Luo Tianhe already gave off a serious, unsmiling aura, but at this moment, he became even more meticulous. His gaze swept over the fatty, who couldn't help but shiver.

“According to people from the newspaper, this isn’t the first time this has happened, and it’s not just happening to their newspaper. Many newspapers have had this happen, but they can't find the cause.”

“Clearly, the templates have already been finalized. They also checked the newspapers on the day they were printed, and there were no problems. But after they were sold, the content changed bizarrely.”

“And what’s even stranger is that the news that’s revealed is all explosive, big news with a very strong direction. Once it appears, it will attract widespread attention from all walks of life, especially… the narrative perspective is very bizarre. Many are even narrated from the perspective of dead people. The content is extremely detailed, which is terrifying to think about.”

“To the point that, in private, these newspaper colleagues secretly call these newspapers ghost newspapers, meaning these reports aren’t collected by people, but by ghosts.”

“Only ghosts can do this.”

Luo Tianhe was silent for a moment, then his tone became strange again, as did his expression. “Moreover, people from the newspaper also warned us not to get involved with the people mentioned in these reports, because these reports are accompanied by a curse.”

The fatty swallowed nervously. “What… what curse?”

“The people mentioned in the reports will absolutely not live past 7 days.” Luo Tianhe’s tone was cold as he looked at everyone with a scrutinizing gaze, carrying a sense of inspection. “Not only the people involved, but also terrible things will happen to those around them. Their families, friends, and close relatives are very likely to experience misfortune.”

“But there’s also a saying that as long as the person in the report can live past 7 days, the curse surrounding them will be lifted.”

“This is just hearsay. It’s impossible to determine its truth or find its source.”

“After all, so far, no one has been able to live past 7 days.”

Hearing this, He Ping's face twitched, and he spat on the ground, angrily saying, “Damn that Song Ke Li, that spineless bastard did something so shameless, and I still have to protect him!”

Although everyone was unwilling, this was, after all, a task assigned to them, and they couldn’t disobey it.

Jiang Cheng had a thoughtful expression and slowly shook his head. “Perhaps the end result won’t be what we imagine. This 7-day time limit may have been imposed on us by the mission.”

Ding Zhenzong’s spirits lifted upon hearing this. “Jiang bro, what do you mean?”

“My meaning is very simple. The news only says the curse will be lifted after 7 days, but it doesn’t say the specific way it will be lifted. In my opinion, the death of the cursed person can also be considered a lifting of the curse. After all, once the person is dead, the curse no longer needs to exist.” This was just Jiang Cheng’s own opinion, but he felt that this possibility not only existed, but was also very likely.

The fatty was completely confused by all of this, but he didn’t say anything. Even if no one explained it to him, he could ask the doctor when it was just the two of them.

Having experienced so many missions, the fatty knew one thing: the things that could kill you in a mission were never just ghosts. Your teammates could also kill you without batting an eye.

Without understanding the situation, he shouldn’t reveal too many of his weaknesses. Otherwise, if he got separated, someone might get funny ideas.

In extremely dangerous situations, you might not be able to run faster than a ghost, but you just had to run faster than the teammate next to you. Ghosts mostly only attacked one person at a time.

But before the fatty could continue thinking, someone stepped forward to explain it for him. Yao Shunyu raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, “You mean that no matter what we do, we essentially can’t save Song Ke Li. All we can do is prolong his life as much as possible, prolong it to 7 days, and then our mission will be completed. As for after 7 days, he’ll still die.”

“That’s right.” Jiang Cheng nodded.

Lin Qianqian had an adoring look on her face and said sweetly, “Jiang Cheng-gege’s idea is very enlightening. How could I not have thought of that? There is indeed such a possibility.”

The fatty thought to himself that she was really lucky to have been born in a harmonious society. If the Ghost Bride also came in with the doctor this time, he would risk being punished by the rules and vow to be the first to send her to be reincarnated.

Jiang Cheng was very cold towards Lin Qianqian’s attentiveness. The fatty knew that these people could stand here, which was enough to show how strong they were. They were probably all ruthless people behind the scenes.

Before figuring out their details, the doctor didn’t dare to act rashly.

It would be fine if it was just the doctor alone, but after all, he was carrying him, this burden. Thinking of this, the fatty couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that it was too hard for the doctor, carrying a scrub into a King of Glory match.

Suddenly, Yuan Shanyuan, who had been smiling all along, frowned slightly. Although the smile on his face hadn’t faded, it felt completely different.

He first looked at Bai Yu beside him as if to confirm something. The latter was looking down slightly, her gaze empty. The pupil of her only intact right eye was slightly dilated, but the fingers gripping his hand continued to tighten.

Sensing Bai Yu’s emotions, Yuan Shanyuan became vigilant. He casually looked in one direction, capturing an inconspicuous man wearing black, short-sleeved clothing in his field of vision.

To avoid alerting the snake, Yuan Shanyuan immediately withdrew his gaze. “Everyone,” he said in a warning tone, “we’re being watched. 9 o’clock direction, the man wearing black, short-sleeved clothing. He’s not a Japanese.”

Without any panic, everyone reacted quickly, splitting up and shaking off the tail, finally gathering back at the Su residence.

Fortunately, everyone was experienced, and they didn’t encounter too much trouble on the way. Jiang Cheng and the fatty were the last to return out of all the groups, because Jiang Cheng needed time to confirm something.

As he expected, after the stalkers saw them split up, they directly chose to let go of the others, and instead bit down firmly on him and the fatty. Their goal was extremely clear.

It was undoubtedly someone sent by Baomo Zhai…

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Cheng repeatedly confirmed that he had shaken off the tail before circling back to the Su residence. In fact, this wasn’t the best choice. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about using the Japanese to solve the problem of the trackers, but after all, the people behind them were his own compatriots. Without understanding their position, he didn’t want to see his compatriots suffer.

After entering the Su residence, Madam Su was still the same as before, even becoming more respectful towards them, asking if they had found any clues, and if they were confident in curing Master’s illness.

Regarding this point, everyone had thought of a story before returning. Their words could corroborate each other, not leaving Madam Su any openings.

“Then I think it would be best if you masters stay by my Master’s side tonight. I will clear out everyone in the house, and I won’t stay either, so you masters can fully focus on subduing the demons and eliminating the evil, without having to be distracted by us.” Saying this, Madam Su pursed her lips, putting on a show of being extremely helpless, yet also forced to separate from her Master.

The fatty got goosebumps from watching.

Madam Su wiped her eyes with her sleeve, forcing a bitter smile. “Sorry, I lost my composure. Oh right, it seems like there are still two masters who haven’t returned yet. They…”

Before she could finish speaking, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, as if something big had happened.
