Seventh day?
Inside the dimly lit hall of the old mansion, everyone stared at the emaciated corpse of an elderly man slumped in the black Taishi Chair, and after hearing Zhou Deng's words, their expressions changed instantly.
In folklore, it is said that after a person dies, they return to life on the seventh day—this is known as the seventh day ritual.
On this day, the deceased turns into a ghost to revisit their old haunts one last time, seeing their loved ones before returning to the underworld. However, there's another saying: if the deceased harbored deep resentment, they will transform into a vengeful ghost on the seventh day to seek revenge.
"The post office instructed us to stay here for seven days. If this old man died today, then we'll end up staying here until the seventh day of this old man's death."
The ominous thought dawned on Old Hawk, and his face darkened slightly.
