"No, look closely," the Deputy General persisted, clearly having seen something. The member of the Fire Order Squad right beside him, it seemed, it seemed...
Finally, the Deputy General understood what was odd, since he was closer, he distinctly felt that the person wasn't breathing. When he realized that this was the reason he felt something was off, he quickly discovered that it wasn't just the guard beside him, but those in front and behind too...
The Deputy General suddenly grabbed Deputy General Geng beside him, his face ashen.
"What are you doing—" Deputy General Geng was somewhat anxious. Their actions were too conspicuous, with the Prime Minister and so many officials ahead.
The Deputy General, trembling, pointed at the members of the Fire Order Squad. His strange behavior immediately drew the attention of others, even Ju Nanyi in front seemed to have noticed and was about to turn around.
Suddenly, a scream not far away shook everyone.
