Chapter 218

Author: Foxy Whispers
Scared out of his wits, Cassian quickly backed away from the face. Then, he pointed the flashlight at it.

A while later, he was finally able to see the face clearly. It wasn't actually a ghost's face, but rather, a human's face. It was just that the face looked quite scary.

The man's face was practically a piece of dry, wrinkled skin. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, his pupils a shade of milky white. They looked exactly like a dead fish's eyes.

At that moment, those eyes kept staring at Cassian unblinkingly.

Cassian glanced at the rest of the man's body. The man was sitting on the ground, and he had extremely long hair. He wore clothes that looked more like rags at this point. A foul odor wafted from his very being.

The odor was exactly the same as the odor that wafted off the corpses that were poisoned with the Devil Trumpet's Kiss. That meant the man before Cassian had also contracted the same poison.

Many questions popped into Cassian's head right away.

Who was that man

    At that moment, Cassian felt intense pain flaring from his heart, as though his heart was shattered by an unseen force. Tears kept dripping down his cheeks the whole time.He had no idea why he was feeling like this.Was it because of the man named Wraithbound?Cassian didn't even know him! What did Wraithbound's death have to do with him?But for some reason, sorrow and grief washed over him. He felt as though he had just lost a loved one who was extremely important to him.Cassian gradually calmed down after crying for three minutes. It was then that he remembered Wraithbound's final words."The thing is beneath the stone bed? What is it? He mentioned that he left it for me, but I don't even know him!"Confused, Cassian walked over to the stone bed and pointed the flashlight at it. Soon, he spotted a brick beneath one of the stone bed's legs.The inside of the brick was already hollowed out. Cassian wouldn't have noticed that detail if not for the fact that he kept his All-Se

    "Like who?" Cassian was puzzled, to say the least."What… What's your name?" Wraithbound asked."I'm Cassian York."Cassian could clearly see Wraithbound's expression light up the moment he gave the latter his name."You're a York, too, huh? How old are you?""I'm 24 and a half years old.""Your age fits, too…" Wraithbound's expression lightened up even more. Even his voice was starting to quiver."Do you know who Mason York is?"Cassian shook his head. "Nope.""Wait, you really don't know who he is?""Nope." Cassian looked confused. "Who's Mason York?""It seems that you truly don't know him."Wraithbound's happiness dissipated right away. This time, he looked disappointed.A while later, he finally asked, "What's a doctor like you doing here?""I'm here to investigate a case," Cassian explained. "A residential building was built on top of the saint's bust. Five families comprising 12 people resided in said building. They all died two days ago."Wraithbound said, "Bac

    "You two should stay here. The dark energy around the hole is extremely dense. If you come in contact with it, it'll cause you heaps of trouble later," Cassian advised."But you're alone—""Don't worry. I'll be careful."After that, Cassian jumped from where he was. In an instant, he reappeared on the back of the bust's head.Zoey was stunned, to say the least. She murmured, "Sir, Dr. York's really awesome!"Frank looked equally astonished. "He really is amazing. I think Cassian is as powerful as the top rankers of the Tigrite Ranking. No wonder Lord Drakeford recommended him to us."An idea popped into Zoey's mind at that moment. "Sir, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should bring it up right now."Frank knew right away what she was going to say. "Are you trying to suggest that we should recruit Cassian into the ranks of the Shadow Aegis?""That's right!" Zoey replied. "Dr. York is extremely skilled in both combat and healing! Isn't it wonderful news if he ends up joini

    Frank was shell-shocked, to say the least. He never expected to see a gigantic bust being dug out from underneath the residential building. The saint's bust was a few dozen feet tall. It was very different from the typical statues one would see being erected in religious grounds. Normally, those statues were often kind-looking, but the saint's bust wore a particularly malicious expression.Its eyes, in particular, were pitch black. Anyone who laid their gaze on the bust would feel shivers running down their spine right away."Holy shit! What's a saint's bust doing here?" Zoey asked in disbelief.Cassian just ignored her. His eyes were glued to the bust the whole time. Secretly, he activated the All-Seeing Eye.In his vision, the bust's eyes were shrouded by a layer of black fog. The fog was extremely dense, as though it was about to solidify anytime soon. It curled around the bust's eyes, clearly refusing to leave.30 seconds later, Cassian averted his gaze."So, that's the cas

    "Just now, I checked the soil beneath the grape vines. It turns out to be black. That's why I'm 100% certain that this is a gloombound domain, which is extremely rare in this world."Since it's a gloombound domain, the temperature here is very low, making it a natural freezer. That's why those people didn't go into livor mortis after they died."Cassian then looked at Frank and Zoey. "The first time you left this place, did you experience anything spooky? Or did you feel unwell?""Yes," Frank replied. "Ever since that day, I have been suffering from diarrhea nonstop. My condition only improved slightly yesterday."Zoey said, "In my case, I had endless nightmares whenever I slept at night. It scared the shit out of me.""That's normal. You're infested by the dark energy in this place. That's why you showed signs of discomfort. Thankfully, you two didn't linger here for too long, so you're only infested with very little dark energy. Otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to meet you
