The village covered a larger area than Han Dong had envisioned.
Highly developed steampunk technology stood in stark contrast to the dilapidated village structure, as if this technology had been imported from outside.
The "Huang Family" corresponding to the corpse seemed to hold a high status in the village.
So much so that a man claiming to be from the Village Chief's Mansion came forward on his own to act as a guide, also providing a simple account of the village's situation, considering the two hadn't returned for two hundred years.
The man was a Corpse Handler, his chin completely replaced by machinery, his frame small and not even reaching one meter thirty, still holding a paper lantern in his hands.
However.
From Han Dong's observations, the man walked lightly, leaving no footprints on the village paths throughout their journey, his lightness also indicative of certain speed-related special traits.
Moreover, Han Dong also discovered some details within the village.
