After they were tied up, they were carelessly thrown in the yard, and then Lin Caisang was called over.

"Sang’er, these people are somewhat strange."

"What’s strange?"

Lin Caisang asked as she walked over.

The people in this county town were not a single one unstrange; they were all very strange indeed.

"Just now on the street, I saw these two people walking normally, but in a little while, they fell to the ground and immediately stopped breathing after they collapsed."

Sui Zimo looked towards the two motionless bodies and said.

"Hm?"

Lin Caisang’s gaze also fell on the two corpses, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

She squatted down, reached out to pry open the mouth of one of the corpses, and looked inside the oral cavity.

"They were just now in one of those five courtyards, eating those meals," she said.

"Right."

Of course, Sui Zimo would not deny her words.

Although there were too many people in the county, and he could not remember clearly if he had seen these two, he could confirm that they had been eating before because their hands bore traces of grabbing food, and their mouths were greasy.

"Brother Molian, take them to another room, they have stopped breathing, they are really dead."

Of course, only if they were dead could she better study them. If they were like the other two who were alive, she wouldn’t even know how to begin.

Because these people, although they had no thoughts, no heartbeat, from taking their pulse, they seemed almost free of disease, not as if they had been poisoned.

"Alright."

Hearing her words, Sui Zimo immediately lifted the two bodies and took them to another room they had almost finished tidying up.

Lin Caisang stood up and looked at the two thoughtless people who were tied up. They were bound in such a way, but their two legs, which were not completely tied up, were still moving, as if they were still walking.

"Hiss!"

She suddenly felt a chill rush up from the bottom of her heart and muttered to herself, "Isn’t this too creepy?"

After shivering, she glanced at Sui Zimo, who had vanished into the yard, and quickly followed, heading towards where Brother Molian had gone.

...

In the room, one of the two bodies had its chest sewn and closed up again.

Lin Caisang looked towards Sui Zimo with a somewhat troubled expression.

"It looks like, that body is the same, the heart has been removed as well," she said as she glanced at the other body.

No wonder she could not feel their heartbeats when she examined those walking corpses earlier; it turned out that everyone in this county had their hearts removed.

"That seems to be the case," Sui Zimo said.

It seems that the people in this county had their hearts removed by the Demon Clan using a special technique.

But what he couldn’t understand was, since they already obtained these people’s hearts, why keep them alive like walking corpses?

That didn’t make sense, did it?

"What exactly do these people want to do?" Lin Caisang naturally thought of that too.

They could have just removed people’s hearts and killed them swiftly, so why keep them alive? What was the point?

Or perhaps, did those of the Demon Clan have some unspeakable, tremendous secret that required these people to not die immediately but to live without their hearts?

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t understand the reason.

"These next few days, we will make more rounds in the county, and we are bound to discover some clues," Sui Zimo said.
