Hearing Zhao Rong's words, the Village Beauty mustered her courage and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, it's like this… In this village, there's a path that leads directly to the Palace of Yama—a road between the living and the dead…"
Before she could finish, a red throwing knife shot out from the crowd, aimed straight for her.
Faster than words could describe, Zhao Rong leaped into the air, snatching the blade between two fingers before spinning to face the crowd.
Lili stepped forward to shield Zhao Rong. Facing the villagers, she warned, "Brother Zhao Rong, be careful! Someone in that crowd threw a knife at you…"
Shielding the Village Beauty, Zhao Rong pulled a detector from his pocket. "It's fine," he told the three women, "I'll find the culprit right now."
He pressed a button on the device and placed the throwing knife inside it.
The device emitted a single BEEP, and a mechanical voice announced, "Return to sender."
