What Did Those Scrolls Entail?

Haru, who was a tiny cat at the moment, took care of the strange man with ease and returned to Liam, who waited for everyone to wake soon.

He had dozed off for a few hours, making him realize how exhausted he was. The position he had slept in wasn't very comfortable, so he decided to stretch his muscles until he waited for the sleeping people around him to wake up.

But now, a strange thought appeared.

'Who was the man, and why wasn't he sleeping like the rest of the city?'

Liam stopped his actions and approached the body. He was dead, so he decided just to open the man up and dig through his insides, but as soon as the tip of his blade cut open the man's abdomen, he screamed bloody murder.

Liam looked at the body, terrified. He was sure that the man had been dead a moment ago.

'He isn't dead?'

Liam thought about it but soon remembered that there was no heartbeat. The thing in front of him wasn't breathing, so why was it screaming?
