Living Corpse, Sister-in-law, Help

Feng Yuanlin was also curious about what on earth these white pills were; the more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed, but he couldn't think why.

Chi Shuyan told the others not to get too close, and set up an array at the same time so that the corpse bugs couldn't leave the table.

Qi Hao and the boys watched curiously as their sister-in-law opened the bottle cap. When she did, they saw white pills.

The boys were puzzled. Why was Sister-in-law showing them this?

Feng Yuanlin opened his eyes wide, but couldn't see anything wrong. Only Qi Zhenbai and Chi Shuyan stared solemnly at the white pills.

Qi Zhenbai had no doubt that these things were related to corpse bugs. He recalled that there was an illusionary trick. What if someone deliberately used this trick to turn these corpse bugs into pills so that people would willingly consume them?
