Mason could not help but say, "Great-grandpa, it is not the time to be worrying about others now. The most important thing for us right now is to hurry up and leave Aurous Hill safely. If Falco decides to feed the both of us to that big white worm, we will be completely done for!"

Carvalho hesitated for a moment before he nodded gently and sighed as he said, "Sigh. You've got a point. We are already at the point where we are unable to fend for ourselves, so we can only replace a way to protect ourselves..."

After he was done speaking, Carvalho said again, "We will replace a way to contact Sophie Schulz tomorrow and see if we can replace a breakthrough from her."

The next day, a rumor suddenly appeared amongst the people of Aurous Hill. 1

It was said that a paranormal incident had occurred at the Mount Phoenix cemetery and that a security guard who was guarding the cemetery had been killed by an evil spirit last night.

However, this kind of rumor was quickly controlled in a targeted manner. In addition, since this rumor was way too supernatural, only some superstitious middle-aged and elderly people would believe in the rumor. Young people would basically snicker when they heard this. 3

Elaine made breakfast at home in the morning. When Charlie and Claire came down to have breakfast, she said very seriously at the dining table, "Claire, Charlie, the both of you should go out as little as possible over the next two days. Even if you must go out, you must come back home before dark!"

Claire had a surprised expression on her face as she asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" 2

Elaine was extremely solemn as she said, "Let me tell you. Someone was killed by a ghost at the Mount Phoenix Cemetery last night! Even his brain was completely sucked out! It is said that he was bleeding out of his seven orifices when he died, and there was a big hole on the top of his head. As a result, his head turned out to be an empty shell with nothing inside at all!"

When Claire heard this, she could not help but have a helpless expression on her face as she said, "Mom, no matter what it is, you're still a university graduate. You actually believe such rumors? There is no such thing as ghosts in this world! It's all just a lie."

Elaine said solemnly, "How could this be a lie? This is a real thing! This news is spreading like wildfire amongst some of the elderly groups that I am in!

There was originally a picture, but I do not know how it got deleted by the system. Oh! That picture was truly terrifying, and my back is still wet from the shock." 2

Jacob, who was aside, frowned and said, "There are also some people discussing this matter in a few of my group chats. However, I could not replace any evidence such as pictures when I looked through the chat logs."

Claire laughed and said, "Even if there are pictures, it might not necessarily be credible. The current

computer synthesis technology is so advanced. Any kind of pictures can be made up. The both of you can be completely at ease and stop overthinking things just because of some hearsay evidence." 3

Elaine began making a fuss in all seriousness as she said, "I would rather believe that it is the truth rather than not. The both of you should just come home earlier. Anyway, you would not be suffering a loss even if you come home earlier, right? You can stay at home and accompany me too. Wouldn't that be pretty good?"

Claire said helplessly, "But I have to keep an eye on my project. Besides, I'll be even busier in the days to come."

Elaine shook her head helplessly

before she looked at Charlie, who had not spoken at all, and instructed, "My good son-in-law, since you're so skillful, you should remember to pick from work over the next

few days. I would feel worried if she were to go home alone." "Okay, Mom!" Although Charlie bad not spoken up, he had already reviewed the contents of Elaine and Claire's conversation in his mind.

It seemed as though what Elaine had said was not just an unfounded story, but this matter should be inseparable from Falco. 3

However, ordinary people would not know about things such as parasitic worms. In addition, the incident had happened at a cemetery. So, it was only logical and natural for people to speculate that it was a n evil spirit that had killed the man.

It seemed as though Falco was indeed very cruel and violent. He was willing to hurt and kill people just so he could feed his so-called parasitic worm. This was the most heinous crime!

If Charlie did not make a move and simply decided to wait for Falco to come to him, many more people would die in his hands during this time!

As he thought of this, Charlie

immediately sent a text message to
