To summarize, first there was an extra step on the staircase, followed by laughter, a skull, a little girl, and security. Could there be any connection between these? That extra step on the staircase must be where the skull was, but why would it appear there? Could it be buried beneath the stairs? Well, I wouldn't rule out that possibility.
"Hey hey hey, what are you thinking about, Great Shaman Liang?" Yang Feng waved his hand in front of my face repeatedly, interrupting my thoughts.
"Huh? Nothing much, I was just thinking about how all of this might be connected?"
Apart from Ye Xiang, the other three nodded in unison, unanimously declaring that I was indeed a great shaman.
Ye Xiang's physical condition was exceptionally good. When I asked him if he felt anything unusual, he said he felt fantastic, everything tasted great, and, while saying so, he lifted his beer and downed it in one gulp. I was left speechless.
