This scene sent a chill down Musa's spine. Just as he picked up the candle to take a closer look, "poof," the flame went out, releasing a puff of blue smoke.
It was now that Musa realized the candle's wick had been tampered with. Only a small portion at the top had a proper wick.
Meanwhile, the corpses of ghosts nearby were closing in. In his panic, Musa frantically reached for another candle from his pocket, but it was already too late.
Struggling desperately, Musa twisted his body. Just as he was completely surrounded by the corpse ghosts, he understood the truth—in hindsight, it was indeed Hafeez who gave him the candles, but it was Adila and Hafeez who originally went to collect them.
It must have been Adila who tampered with the candles. He knew that if he had given them directly, Musa would have been cautious, so he used Hafeez, the newcomer, to lower his guard.
"Damn it..."
...
Ghost Island.
"River Immortal Village."
