Chapter 397: Chapter 363: Night Parade of a Hundred Demons...

The Night Watchman exchanged glances with the curator, a flicker of evasion flashing in both of their eyes.

The Night Watchman spoke up, "Last night, we did have some private matters to deal with, but it has nothing to do with the bodies."

"Private matters?" Jiang Xiao scoffed as he raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t it quite a coincidence that the bodies were disposed of while you were dealing with your private matters?"

This...

They surely wouldn’t foolishly admit to having stayed in the hall all night, waiting to see if Jiang Xiao would make it back alive, right?

’Zzz...zzzap’

The light emitted an ear-piercing sound, then started to flicker on and off.

The faces of the Night Watchman and the curator became unpredictable within the flashing light, contemplating whether to lay all their cards on the table.

The Night Watchman’s throat moved, and just as he was about to speak, a sudden chill breeze swept past.

The window "clattered" open under the force of the wind, allowing the outside night to pour in.

Through the window, one could also see a group of shadowy figures with indistinct faces, floating past outside, like ghosts wandering in the night.

The curator turned his head sharply, looking nervously outside the window, and unconsciously reached for the concealed item at his waist, as if seeking some form of comfort.

The Night Watchman clenched his teeth with a hint of resolve in his eyes, as if he had made some sort of decision.

Jiang Xiao’s gaze shifted from the Night Watchman and also turned towards those eerie shadows.

His eyes lacked fear, filled only with a bottomless calm.

He gently walked over to the window and reached out to touch those quivering shadows, but his hand passed right through them as if they were merely illusions in the air.

The only thing he could feel... was a cold sensation and a faint hint of sadness.

How could this kid be so brave?

The curator and the Night Watchman couldn’t understand, but were greatly shocked.

The shadows outside seemed to sense the tense atmosphere inside the room, becoming more active, circling around the window and emitting a faint buzzing sound.

The light flickered on and off again, this time accompanied by a piercing shriek that stabbed at the heart.

It was her!

The source of the noise was a ghostly face.

This time, Jiang Xiao could be one hundred percent certain that there was more than one ghostly face, at the very least, the face outside now was different from the little girl’s face.

This seemed to be the first face he had seen,

Very low-end, seemingly smeared with rouge, the one that had run away embarrassed after being spotted by Jiang Xiao.

Moreover, it appeared that this little ghostly face was the master controlling these shadows.

Jiang Xiao nodded in appreciation.

"Not bad, I actually thought you were wearing makeup before."

Makeup my foot!

The little ghostly face outside crumbled its expression, then began to focus more intently on manipulating those shadows, attempting to have them enter through the window.

However, the Peach Wood Sword strapped to Jiang Xiao’s waist exerted too great a deterrent effect,

forcing those shadows to desperately circle outside.

.....

The curator’s lips trembled slightly, knowing that further concealment would only worsen the situation.

He took a deep breath, his gaze landing on the calm face of Jiang Xiao, and finally began to speak, his voice low and tinged with a trace of helplessness.

"I... I indeed took some organs from the bodies, on someone’s behalf, and then transported them out into the world."

The curator’s words made the atmosphere in the room even more tense, as if the air itself was being suffocated by the secret.

The Night Watchman furrowed his brows tightly but quickly regained his composure.

He added, "But we have never harmed the living, I can assure you of that with my integrity."

"So, how did you transport the organs out?"

The expressions on their faces turned sour...

After hemming and hawing for a long time, they hinted that they just needed to deliver the organs to a specified location, and then someone would come to take them away.

Jiang Xiao: ....

"This wilderness isn’t something normal people can just come and go from, right? Let alone having someone repeatedly push through from the outside."

Not to mention, those ghost faces that pop up every now and then can scare someone half to death.

And from the two of them, it seemed like they did this often. What decent person would want to run back and forth to this place, are they not cherishing their lives?

Wait a second!

A lightning bolt suddenly crossed Jiang Xiao’s mind!

That’s right!

"Son of a bitch, fuck your mother’s desolate place! That damn spider giant is in on it with you guys, isn’t he?"

Ah, this...

The expressions on their faces became even more awkward, as they immediately started denying it like crazy.

"Pah! Still trying to deceive me? You think I’m an idiot?"

It all made sense.

He’d finally figured it out!

Is this what a sudden moment of clarity felt like?

Honestly, Jiang Xiao had rarely experienced this sensation.

These two clowns wanting to transport organs definitely wouldn’t have someone from outside come to the wilderness to retrieve them—it was ridiculously impractical.

But what if it was about transporting from the wilderness to the outside?

That would be perfect, wouldn’t it?

Of course.

The guy responsible for transporting the organs couldn’t be weak; otherwise, they wouldn’t get past those creepy creatures. The best would be someone the creatures would not want to mess with.

So.

That giant spider was the perfect candidate, right?

It had human intelligence, yet it was not human.

Strong, fast, a natural transporter.

Most importantly, that big fellow was clearly cultivated by humans.

"To sum up, you definitely knew about the existence of that giant spider, and you even sent me last night to find the ghost faces, probably knowing that I would definitely encounter that creature. You wanted to use it to kill me, but you didn’t expect that it would be taken down by me alone!"

After listening to Jiang Xiao’s deduction, the faces of the Curator and the Night Watchman grew uglier.

How did this foolish kid suddenly become so smart?

"We do have some cooperation with the outside, but, but all in all, it’s not really excessive, at most it’s just doing some borderline activities. You see, when people are cremated, they turn into ashes anyway, if we take them out, we could even save a person’s life!"

"Yes, and we can even let blind people see colors again, why let it go to waste?"

Jiang Xiao ignored the two of them singing their duet in front of him.

"Tell me the truth, organs alone wouldn’t be enough to have you guys keep this from me, right?"

Seeing them continue to play dumb, Jiang Xiao sneered.

"The photos, the place near the spider, there was something like a laboratory, with lots of documents and pictures too, no surprises there, those people in the documents are the corpses from here, right?"

The only fig leaf they had was stripped off naked by Jiang Xiao.

At this point, making excuses was meaningless.

"Hey, that’s right, our storage’s ventilation shaft can connect directly to the place you went to last night. We always send the details of the bodies over first, and then the other side decides whether or not to come for the bodies."

But!

The Curator emphasized that since the spider person was already dead, there should be no one left there, and they really did not know about the disappearance of the corpses in the storage!

Last night he and the Night Watchman never expected Jiang Xiao to return alive, why would they bother processing the bodies?

The shadows and ghost faces outside the window seemed uninterested in the conversation inside. They continued to circle outside the window, making an even more urgent buzzing sound, as if trying to break through the barrier of the Peach Wood Sword.
