I'm a Soul Painter, so I've seen quite a few coffins. This is the first time I've seen a coffin standing upright. What's going on?

As I was thinking this, the figure in front of the coffin said with a deep voice, "Child, after tonight, you will be alive. Don't worry, Father won't let you die just like that."

When this figure said this, I immediately understood. This person was none other than the father of the person inside the coffin. But what did he mean by that? Why did he say that he would be able to continue living after tonight? Could it be that the Yin Division would come tonight? In other words, if Linghua's soul was here, would she be taken away by the Yin Division tonight?

Thinking about this, I started to get anxious. I must save Linghua's soul before the Yin Division arrives. Otherwise, I might not be able to save her.

At this moment, a knock came on the door. This time, it was troublesome, my hiding spot was at the door. The moment people outside turn around, they would be able to see me. I was a little anxious, but the figure in front of the coffin already heard the knock on the door and immediately walked over with his walking stick.

Taking advantage of this, I stealthily walked around the entrance of the well and headed towards the hall. When this figure passed by me, he emitted a terrible stench, like the smell of rotting corpses.

I subconsciously blocked my nose, but I immediately headed towards the direction of the hall, I didn't care too much about this smell. Right now, the inside of the hall isn't very safe, it's better to go to the backyard, but I didn't hide in the backyard, instead I hid inside the hall to the entrance of the backyard to listen for any activity. As long as there's no one around here, I'll go out and search around the coffin.

Just as I entered the hall, the door creaked open. It seemed like the old man had opened the door just now, and a person walked in right after. His footsteps were so fast that I couldn't see his face, but from the sound of his breathing, I could tell that he was very anxious.

Following that, I whispered something to this old man. I couldn't hear it clearly, so I hid at the entrance of the backyard and looked at the two people inside. I whispered something to them, and I really wanted to go out and listen to them.

Just then, the old man said excitedly, "What?" How could this be? Didn't you say that everything has been arranged? "

The person who walked in continued to whisper, but at that moment, someone's hand suddenly appeared above my shoulder. I subconsciously turned my body, and when I saw the hand, I almost shouted out loud, but my mouth was immediately blocked by the person behind me.

"Don't scream, don't scream. I still hope that you can save me." This person whispered anxiously into my ear. At the same time, his voice was extremely nervous, as though he was extremely afraid.

When I turned around to look, I was still a little surprised. This girl looked very young, with a sweet appearance, but her face was covered with dust, as if she had suffered some kind of mistreatment. Her clothes were all tattered, and she didn't seem like a girl from the countryside.

It occurred to me that the girl might have been kidnapped and sold here.

Hearing the girl say that, I subconsciously nodded my head, indicating that I wouldn't make a sound. If I wasn't shocked by her just now, she would have just asked me to call out. I wouldn't scream if I did, but it would have been troublesome if I had lured the two of them out.

Seeing me like this, she released me and whispered to me, "Can you bring me away from here? I beg you, I will thank you. Really."

But just as the two of us were talking, a voice came from the hall, "Who is it? "Who's there?"

After hearing the voice, the girl tensed up and pulled me towards the room where the lights were on. I then realised that the person who I saw in the room when I entered was this girl.

I didn't struggle as well. If this old man found out that I was here, I wouldn't know where to hide, but this girl didn't seem to be a threat to me for now. Besides, she needed my help right now, so it was better for us to be together.

After we entered the room, before I could take a look at the structure of the room, she stuffed me into a cupboard. Like a frightened little sheep, she hid in a corner without saying a word, trembling.

About ten seconds later, the door of the room was violently pushed open. A person with a cane walked in. His face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was a Mediterranean hairstyle. However, he did not look like a good person.

"Did you just go out?" The old man looked at the girl in the corner and asked in a low voice. It seemed that as long as there was anything wrong with the girl, he would immediately kill her.

The girl looked at him and pretended to be innocent. She slowly shook her head but didn't say anything. She quickly withdrew her gaze and looked very scared.

The old man looked around the room and then looked towards me. This was the only place in the entire room where one could hide.

I suddenly felt as if my heart was about to beat hundreds of times. I even felt that if I raised my voice a little bit, this old man would probably be able to hear me.

At this moment, a cough came from outside the door. Hearing the sound, the old man's gaze immediately turned over. After nodding, he turned around and walked out. Who was it that was outside the door? Could it be Uncle Zhang?

That's right, I didn't think about it earlier. Uncle Zhang definitely noticed that I was no longer here, so he immediately noticed the problem and came over. Maybe he wanted to discuss what to do next? I'm afraid I'll find out what's going on.

It wasn't until they were gone that the girl came to the cabinet. Then she opened the door and let me out.

"Can you get me out of here?" The girl asked me in a low voice. I still didn't know what was going on, so I asked her. The girl said to me in a tearful voice, "I was kidnapped here …"
