After Qiao Jiajin steadied himself, he immediately stood beside Qi Xia, his eyes cold and sharp as he stared at the female corpse, fearing any unexpected situation.

Everyone gazed at the corpse standing in the room, falling completely silent. No one dared to speak.

The corpse’s entire body crackled with “ka-ka” sounds. After its eyes opened, the eyeballs could no longer be seen—only the unsettling whites of the eyes remained. The people in the room could only slowly retreat at this moment.

The corpse looked like a robot that had been recharged. It extended its left hand again and very nimbly wrote five characters on the table in front of Qi Xia—

“Heavenly-Dragon wants to see you.”

After writing this sentence, the corpse went limp again. Its entire body fell face-down with a “thud” onto the floor.

Everything happened within a few seconds, and everyone fell silent.

“What… what did it write?” Zhang Shan snapped back to his senses and looked toward Qi Xia’s direction.

After Qi Xia saw these five characters, he immediately reached out and wiped away the words.

“You…” Zhang Shan paused when he saw Qi Xia’s action. “What are you doing?”

“What’s wrong?” Qi Xia asked.

“No, I mean… what did she write?!” Zhang Shan said with a confused expression. “This corpse charged in here like a mad dog and wrote a few words, and you just wiped them away without even asking?”

“I didn’t see that they were words,” Qi Xia said casually. “They looked like chicken scratch. I thought it dirtied your table, so I wiped it for you.”

“You…”

“Besides, having a dead person write words is inauspicious,” Qi Xia added. “Since I wiped them, I wiped them.”

“No… what the hell?” Zhang Shan couldn’t understand. “You mean this corpse rushed into the room in the middle of the night just to curse at us? I mean… does that make sense?”

“What if that’s exactly what happened!” Qiao Jiajin said with a simple smile. “So don’t worry about it. Besides, I also took a look just now, and it really was chicken scratch!”

While several people were arguing, Chu Tianqiu appeared at the doorway wearing an outer garment. He looked at the situation inside the room and asked Zhang Shan as if he hadn’t seen the corpse at all, “What enemy attack?”

“Ah…”

Zhang Shan turned around and briefly explained the current situation to Chu Tianqiu in a few words.

“Oh…” Chu Tianqiu’s gaze finally shifted to the female corpse on the floor. “Zhang Shan, since they bypassed you to come to this room to write, it means those words weren’t meant for you to see in the first place.”

“This…” Zhang Shan hesitated slightly after hearing this. “Damn, I guess that makes sense.”

“Let’s disperse,” Chu Tianqiu said. “Maybe it’s Qi Xia’s friend bringing him a message and didn’t want you all to know.”

“Bringing… bringing a message… using a corpse?” Zhang Shan couldn’t comprehend it.

“It should be some kind of ‘Echo,'” Chu Tianqiu said. “If someone with this kind of ability wanted to attack ‘Heaven’s Mouth,’ they wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble. So stop worrying unnecessarily.”

After hearing this, everyone felt his words made sense. Moreover, this wasn’t an enemy attack to begin with. The onlookers quickly began to disperse, and Zhang Shan also left after greeting Chu Tianqiu.

After Chu Tianqiu dispersed the crowd, he gave Qi Xia a meaningful look and then asked, “Do you need me to do anything?”

After hearing this, Qi Xia lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Not for now.”

“Alright.” Chu Tianqiu nodded and then closed the door and left.

After everyone had left, Qi Xia walked to the bedside and gently stroked his chin with his hand, considering the cause of this matter.

The meaning of the sentence “Heavenly-Dragon wants to see you” was very clear. There was no possibility of ambiguity.

But the method the other party used was worth scrutinizing—writing.

Writing again.

This was a method that could perfectly avoid the surveillance of “Qinglong” and “Heavenly-Dog,” indicating that the messenger of this matter wanted to conceal this information.

And the reason Qi Xia wanted to immediately wipe away the writing was precisely because he feared that someone unwise would read it out loud on the spot.

That way, all the plans the other party had gone through great pains to convey would be completely ruined.

But why would Heavenly-Dragon go through so much trouble…?

Qi Xia stared at the sky for a long time before hearing Qiao Jiajin beside him slowly speak, “I saw it too.”

“Oh…?” Qi Xia nodded. He hadn’t intended to hide it from Qiao Jiajin anyway.

“That thing doesn’t sound like a good person…” Qiao Jiajin said. “What are you planning to do?”

“I feel like there’s not much of a choice,” Qi Xia said. “There aren’t many opportunities to talk to him, especially when he initiates the invitation.”

“Alright!” After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin no longer tried to stop him and decisively nodded. “Liar, I’ll go with you!”

“This…” Qi Xia gave a bitter smile after hearing this. “You can’t go to that place.”

“Can’t go…?”

“Fist, I need to entrust you with an important task,” Qi Xia said.

“Important task?”

“Have you ever flown a kite?” Qi Xia said. “In a moment, I’ll be sleeping here, and your task is to wake me up. I’m the kite, and you’re the string.”

“I… I don’t quite understand.” Qiao Jiajin scratched his head and said, “Aren’t you going to meet someone… why do you need to sleep?”

“This is the way to meet him,” Qi Xia said. “You observe my condition at all times. Once you discover something is wrong with me… immediately wake me up.”

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he walked to the side on his own and began slowly arranging several tables together.

“Wait, wait a moment!” Qiao Jiajin stepped forward and grabbed Qi Xia. “Liar… this seems very difficult to execute. What does ‘something is wrong’ mean? What condition counts as right?”

“I don’t know either,” Qi Xia said. “After all, I don’t know what he wants to do. I can only adapt to the situation.”

“This…”

“Rely on your feelings,” Qi Xia patted Qiao Jiajin’s shoulder and said. “If you feel something is wrong with me, find a way to wake me up. If you feel my condition is completely normal, then let me continue sleeping.”

Qiao Jiajin felt that Qi Xia was going to an extremely dangerous place, yet he was actually placing the power of life and death in his own hands…

“Liar, if I don’t wake you up… what will happen to you?”

“I can’t say for certain,” Qi Xia shook his head. “He is different from other people. At the lightest, I’ll lose my rationality… at worst, I’ll disappear completely. So I can only act cautiously.”

“It really sounds too dangerous…” Qiao Jiajin said with a serious expression. “Liar… do you… absolutely have to go?”

“Yes,” Qi Xia nodded. “These are dangers I must experience. Besides, even if he doesn’t come looking for me, I have things I need to say to him.”

After saying this, he walked to the side of the desks, turned over, and climbed up, lying down in an extremely comfortable position.

“Liar,” Qiao Jiajin finally asked, “I might be a bit presumptuous… but are you a heavy sleeper? How should I wake you?”

After hearing this, Qi Xia smiled slightly, turned his head, and said, “I’m very tired. I might sleep very deeply, so you need to beat me awake.”

“Beat…?” Qiao Jiajin was stunned, then slowly raised his fist. “This kind of ‘beat’?”

“Yes,” Qi Xia nodded. “Beat me to death.”
