hmmm i'm confused as to what happen to them once they 'explode' did he really just die or did the evil spirit go out while the MC was busy catching up? if not, i wonder how it would have looked like to a normal person (him trying to swallow MC).
that aside i wonder why all those persons refer to one another as "xx's relative" instead of using each other name? they're neighbor they should know each other name, no?
