A Warm Corpse

Only then did I find that the archaeological team had left.

Now only Manuel was left on the mountain.

It felt as if Manuel was waiting for me on purpose.

I followed him and asked curiously, "How did you know I was there?"

"It's getting late. The villagers usually go home early. How could there be a flock of sheep walking on the road at that time? Moreover, the sheep crazily rushed towards our car as if they were frightened."

"How can you be sure it's me who caused it?"

Manuel glanced at me and said, "Who else in the mountain has such power except you, a corpse who is several thousand years old?"

I thought, "Is this... praise?"

"You know it, but you're still taking me with you. Aren't you afraid that I will use a demonic skill on you and eat you while the moon is full?"

As I spoke, I waved my hand as if I wanted to grab at the air, and then I made a horrible expression as if I wanted to bite Manuel.
