"Brother, you have no idea. These days, from morning 'til night, we've been living in constant fear!"
"People are dropping dead every few days!"
"Forced laborers die, Inspectors die... Brother, you saw the frost on that corpse just now, didn't you? Frozen to death in this heat. It's just plain evil!"
"If the Thousand Households Commander hadn't issued a gag order..."
As they grew closer, the man's floodgates opened, and a shocking inside story was unveiled before Chu Mu.
According to the Inspector, the deaths had begun over a month ago, before winter had even set in. They were happening sporadically in several of the mining areas at the bottom of this pit.
And these weren't normal deaths from accidents or illness. They were all... "frozen to death!"
Some would suffer what seemed like a sudden illness, a bone-chilling cold, and then freeze to death right where they stood. Others died suddenly in their sleep, only to be found later covered in a layer of frost.
