Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 788 - 142

After all, their ancestors really were prosperous.

Whenever a member of the Yin Family went out, they only needed to say, "Ancestor Yin Changsheng."

Next, they'd most likely hear a warm response: "Please, have a seat."

This is why the seemingly lowbrow and dull travelogues tucked away in the Yin Family's genealogy kept Li Zhiyuan engrossed, because the Yin Family ancestors always wormed their way into high-stakes gatherings, sneaking in surprises amidst mundane records.

However, Li Zhiyuan noticed something odd—Yin Meng was sitting with closed eyes, biting her lip, her body shivering, as if she was in great pain.

Soon, Yin Meng opened her eyes, exhaled deeply, her face showing exhaustion, as though she'd been drained of energy.

What's happening to her?

Meanwhile, they had to keep moving forward, guided by the shadowy figure of a servant eunuch, leading seemingly to their seats.

Li Zhiyuan and his two companions carried the grass pole to the front row beneath the main stage, where the servant eunuch gestured invitingly for them to sit.

Tan Wenbin and Run Sheng were a bit stunned, aware that they were "fakes." If they really set down the grass pole and sat, wouldn't they be revealing their true forms?

Seeing their hesitation in taking a seat, the nearby servant eunuchs closed in, and even those further away slowly turned to look in their direction.

The situation immediately grew tense; the general's armor on the main stage seemed to turn slightly, ready to survey the area.

The Corpse Driving Team that followed behind Li Zhiyuan moved to the second row behind them, and the person in the lead squatted down, turning their body to one side.

"Thud..."

A clear, muffled sound, as if something fell to the ground.

The person carrying the pole stood up, their steps becoming lighter, turned around, and switched the front team to the back, starting to leave.

Li Zhiyuan, with his keen hearing, couldn't see but could listen, and his mind roughly simulated the sequence of actions.

The person who originally floated in the Corpse Driving Team was placed behind a table, now kneeling in the row behind him.

So, this is the meaning.

But what he carried was a straw man.

However, under the current circumstances, there wasn't a better solution.

Li Zhiyuan said, "Squat down."

Tan Wenbin and Run Sheng immediately squatted, while the young man took the straw man from the grass pole and sat with it behind the table.

"Follow the other Corpse Drivers out, be careful not to reveal any flaws."

Tan Wenbin and Run Sheng promptly nodded, lifted the grass pole, turned to leave, following the earlier Corpse Driving Team that had finished unloading.

"Young friend."

Xiong Shan's voice came, Li Zhiyuan turned his head to look.

Beside him, at a neighboring table, there was a straw man, with a swaddled child sleeping soundly atop it.

"Please take care."

After leaving this remark, Xiong Shan, along with Lihua, imitated Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin, turning to follow the departing team.

When you try to pass through disguised, unfortunately, the spotlight shines upon you, and next you must act out the expected procedures here onward.

Next, unsurprisingly, they, along with Run Sheng, will need to meet other "people," who likely will be those "not to be directly seen," their danger level too high.

Comparatively, placing the child here is safer.

Xiong Shan had shown clear intention to retreat, so if possible, he would avoid tearing things apart for conflict here.

Upon seeing Yin Meng seated in the VIP area here, with Lin Shuyou accompanying below, the most pressing conflict need dissipated.

At least right now, it hasn't reached the point where overturning tables at all costs is necessary.

Even if it must be resolved later, he can continue to test the waters, and at least need to clarify the origins of these "unseeable" entities.

With these entities here, you've already lost more than half before making a move; if you can't even look, then what's the point of fighting?

After settling down with the straw man, Li Zhiyuan started to gaze toward the direction of Lin Shuyou, but unfortunately, he and Lin Shuyou sat in the front row right up against the main stage and on different sides, perfectly blocking his view.

Li Zhiyuan tried standing slowly with the straw man.

But as he made this move, nearby servant eunuchs first glanced over, and like before, those further away also looked his way and began moving closer toward him.

Seemed like enthusiastic service, inquiring if the noble guest needed anything.

Li Zhiyuan, helpless, had to sit back down again. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

But at least he could confirm, sitting here, as long as he didn't do anything too outlandish, it was safe.

Unable to see Lin Shuyou, he had to continue watching Yin Meng on the main stage.

Fortunate was that Yin Meng sat right opposite him, meaning from her angle, she only needed to look ahead to see him.

But unfortunately, because he held the straw man pasted with the Chenzhou Talisman, Yin Meng had no perception of him.

Most likely, in her view, he was just one among the "ordinary."

No, beyond that, she also purposefully avoided looking in his direction, knowing herself to be "unseeable."

Lin Shuyou had vertical pupils; from his side, at least there's hope to communicate, but Yin Meng hadn't learned Walking Yin even until now...

Walking Yin?

Li Zhiyuan suddenly recalled Yin Meng's earlier unusual behavior—she hadn't been engaging in Walking Yin, had she?

Walking so painfully, so tormented, for such a brief time, exhausted to the point of near exhaustion.
