Listening to Ma Xiaotong's question, Zhang Feng was initially stunned, then he understood.

He got what Ma Xiaotong meant.

Because Shen Xing'Er, who they met earlier, was just an ordinary person who couldn't detect Ma Xiaotong's oddity, she just felt a bit uncomfortable because Ma Xiaotong seemed cold.

But then they encountered Lin Rui and Hu Huixin.

Logically, they should be ordinary people too, so why could they sense Ma Xiaotong's true nature?

It's simple enough, but....

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said:

"It's a long story for this kind of thing."

"Just treat them like ordinary people who know your identity."

This explanation was practically useless.

It made the corners of Ma Xiaotong's eyes twitch involuntarily.

Zhang Feng considered that if he were to explain, he'd have to start from the incident under the surveillance camera, which was unnecessary.

He took Ma Xiaotong and returned to the morgue once again.

Currently, Hu Huixin was animatedly complaining to Lin Rui about the wrongdoing of that bastard director.

The two women were genuinely outraged!

They were practically longing to tear that scumbag into pieces right away.

At this moment, Hu Huixin, who was gesticulating, suddenly froze, her expression stiffening. She stammered slightly while speaking to Lin Rui:

"Lin Rui sister, that... Is Zhang Feng together with that..... that....."

She couldn't quite describe Ma Xiaotong.

However, Lin Rui completely understood what Hu Huixin meant, her expression gradually stiffening, and she slowly nodded.

She was definitely referring to Ma Xiaotong because only Ma Xiaotong could cause the sudden change in temperature around them.

After getting Lin Rui's affirmation, Hu Huixin inhaled sharply.

In a swift step, she moved to Lin Rui's side, the two of them immediately clasped hands, then shrank back slightly, cautiously watching Ma Xiaotong as she walked in with Zhang Feng.

All that remained in their gaze was "awe."

Seeing the two women like this, Zhang Feng felt rather helpless!

Given the current situation, Ma Xiaotong was likely to stay by his side for quite some time.

She had to interact with Lin Rui and Hu Huixin.

They can't remain like this every day, can they?

What would others think if they saw this? It might blow their cover.

Consequently, Zhang Feng sighed helplessly, then spread his hands and said:

"Let me formally introduce you. This is Ma Xiaotong...."

Saying this, he pulled Ma Xiaotong from behind him.

Lin Rui and Hu Huixin forced an awkward smile on their pale faces, nodded tremblingly at Ma Xiaotong.

And they didn't say anything else.

Zhang Feng continued:

"She's the kind of person you imagined, uh.... a corpse?... a ghost?"

Zhang Feng pursed his lips; he didn't know how to describe Ma Xiaotong, but:

"You understand, it's the situation you're imagining."

Listening to Zhang Feng, Lin Rui and Hu Huixin's expressions turned increasingly strange.

Despite being terrified by Ma Xiaotong's chilling identity, there's an unsettling comedic undertone in Zhang Feng's words.

But none of that mattered, as Zhang Feng's voice continued:

"And it all started with that man with the cross tattoo on his hand."

Upon hearing this sentence, Hu Huixin and Lin Rui's pupils both trembled, and Hu Huixin leaned forward:

"You mean... the man with the cross tattoo who committed frequent crimes in D City and even influenced Cheng Bing?"

"That's right!" Zhang Feng nodded.

Both Lin Rui and Hu Huixin were aware of what happened in D City.

Especially since the two ladies had infiltrated Flowers in the World Club together.

They know about Cheng Bing's Seven Extremes Array, Seven Stars' Plunder.

They also understand that Cheng Bing's terrifying and cruel crimes stemmed from that man with the cross tattoo on his hand.

Moreover, because of the case Zhang Feng handled in Rain City seven years ago.

It was once again linked to that man with the cross tattoo.

This case was even more compelling than Cheng Bing's case.

After all, the leader of the inspection team, Shen Hanshan, personally issued an order for all departments in Jiangnan to closely monitor and vigorously pursue this person's whereabouts.

The man with the cross tattoo had already gained reputation within the police circle.

And now you're saying this beautiful woman in front of us? Female corpse? Female ghost? Is actually connected to that man?

This immediately piqued Lin Rui and Hu Huixin's curiosity!

Seeing their interest, Zhang Feng didn't keep any secrets.

He recounted everything Ma Xiaotong had told him about what happened twenty years ago.

But what Zhang Feng never anticipated was that:

Initially, Zhang Feng shared these details just to make Hu Huixin and Lin Rui less terrified.

Considering they regularly needed to interact with Ma Xiaotong!

Yet!

As a result of Ma Xiaotong's story.

It was as if it ignited the women's maternal instinct? Or perhaps... compassionate empathy?

The two women unexpectedly began to tear up!

"Why... is it like this?"

"That bastard, how could he harm you this way?"

"Ma Xiaotong, you..... you are really too pitiful, right?"

Lin Rui and Hu Huixin were no longer afraid!

Instead, they approached her directly from both sides and held Ma Xiaotong's hands.

Goodness, you two don't mind the chill?

They sat Ma Xiaotong in the middle between them.

These two kept the conversation going!

Lin Rui on this side:

"So you're saying you've been dead for twenty years?"

Ma Xiaotong nodded.

"So tragic!"

Hu Huixin on the other side:

"Did you suffer all this torment before dying?"

Ma Xiaotong nodded again.

"Really pitiable!"

"Don't worry, I'm a policewoman, I'll make sure we find that bastard and bring him to justice!"

Lin Rui also nodded and said:

"Rest assured, I'm a forensic doctor; through various clues, I'll definitely find that scum and avenge you!"

"Though the two of us can't do what Zhang Feng does, we'll absolutely do everything we can to help you!"

Seeing the situation completely change compared to before, Zhang Feng was stunned.

What just happened?

All because of that indescribable sympathy?

Five minutes ago, they were as terrified as encountering a dangerous beast.

Now, the three are hand-in-hand, deep in camaraderie?

What is the logic behind these women's thinking?!

Moreover, Zhang Feng realized their conversation was getting more and more out of line.

Lin Rui could be heard saying:

"Since you call Zhang Feng 'brother,' we can all be your older sisters, big sisters!"

Ma Xiaotong was just about to agree, but Hu Huixin waved her hand and said:

"Lin Rui sister, your words don't make sense!"

"Xiaotong has been dead for twenty years, and she was already seventeen then; we should be calling her 'sister'!"

Lin Rui then came to a sudden realization:

"That's right! Twenty years!"

"But really, Xiaotong, you've been dead for twenty years, how do you keep your skin in such good condition, any secrets to share?"

Darn....

That's crazy...

Dead for twenty years, skincare secrets?!

What on earth is going on?!

Do these women always steer the conversation this way?

Even with a female ghost too?!

However, the boldest remains Ma Xiaotong, with her hollow eyes slowly saying:

"I don't know either... My skin wasn't like this before, maybe because I ate ..."

"Shut up!!"
