"Which day was it..."
Hu Ma hadn't expected Miss Red Wine's attention to be drawn to this question. After a brief pause, he recalled that it had been two days since leaving Dongchang Prefecture when he first encountered this thing. He then whispered, "Counting it this way, it's the sixth day."
"The first time I sensed its presence was six days ago at midnight. I lit an incense array and avoided it."
"Since then, it appeared a few more times, but I managed to evade it each time."
"..."
Miss Red Wine suddenly fell silent.
She must have guessed something, Hu Ma thought, a flicker of worry stirring within him. After a moment of waiting, he finally heard Miss Red Wine say, "Do you trust us?"
"What?"
Hu Ma hadn't expected her to ask such a question.
Miss White Wine had mentioned that the Reincarnators in Anzhou could be trusted, but her relationship with this Miss Red Wine seemed somewhat... complicated.
"You're in quite a bit of trouble."
