The eerie atmosphere instantly alerted Yang Xiao. He flipped his hand over, holding the Soul-Capturing Mirror in his left and the Human Bone Staff in his right, immediately bracing himself for battle. He cautiously approached the sofa and when he reached the front of it, Yang Xiao sharply inhaled.
On the sofa, four individuals sat side by side, each one's eyes closed with a mysterious smile etched on their lips. To the left was a robust middle-aged man, and to the right, a simply dressed young woman. In the middle were two children, a boy and a girl, aged around seven or eight. However, by this time, all four were already dead.
Initially, Yang Xiao assumed that the middle-aged man was the homeowner, Boss Wu. But upon noticing the man's athletic shoes and the calluses covering his fingertips, Yang Xiao concluded that he must be a bodyguard. As for the simply dressed young woman, she was likely the live-in nanny who looked after the children.
