Maria paused for a moment, raised her hand to her temple, and whispered, "I suspect Hafeez was scared stiff. Last night, outside the door, he was so frightened by his own shadow on the ground that he couldn't speak. It was only after dawn that he partially recovered."
"After we separated yesterday, the thing in the coffin quieted down." Yang Xiao shared the intelligence his group had gathered with Maria. Upon hearing this, she insisted it must be that Ghost that their group had lured away, but as for why, no one knew.
"At the time, I truly thought I was going to die." Recalling the deformed corpse that appeared suddenly last night, Maria was still petrified.
Yang Xiao couldn't understand it either. The corpse Ghost had already appeared, and there were several of them. Yet, in the dark and slippery alley, chasing a woman with a hurt foot couldn't prevent her from getting away. It was incredible.
