Seeing Pei Yu walk out of the door with a smile on his lips, Ji Zhe secretly complained to K:

"He is so childish. He wants everyone to reply before he leaves."

K smiled: [Yes.]

One of the two ghosts, A Yuan, seemed to be very interested in Ji Zhe. As soon as Pei Yu left, the little boy ran to Ji Zhe and started pulling his sleeves.

A Yuan looked only three years old, but a child of this age should be able to speak, but he could only make syllables like "ah ah" or "owu". His pupils, which should have been bright, were now cloudy gray-white, and his skin, including his face, was a horrible bluish-white.

Although there was a layer of clothes between the arm that was touched, Ji Zhe could still feel a biting chill.

Is it possible that such a young child has died?

Human life is always fragile and short. Looking at this not-at-all-cute child in front of him, Ji Zhe inexplicably felt a little distressed.

"What's wrong, Ayuan?"

A Yuan didn't say anything, just yelled "Ahhh" while pulling Ji Zhe's sleeve and walking inside. During this time, Ji Zhe wanted to pull his hand, but A Yuan withdrew his hand and dodged;

"Ayuan can't control the Yin energy in his body yet. If you come into direct contact with it, your hand will be hurt."

Cuicui followed behind him, looked at Ayuan, and said with great satisfaction,

"He always forgot before and hurt Master Pei several times."

"Have you two known each other for a long time?"

Ah Yuan walked unsteadily, and Ji Zhe followed behind him in small steps. After hearing what Cuicui said, he thought about it and couldn't help but ask;

He had entered so many copies, but he had never seen people and ghosts living together and getting along well with each other.

"It's been almost a year. Master Pei is a very good person. A Yuan likes Master Pei very much, so——"

Cuicui paused for a moment when she spoke here. After seeing A Yuan's actions, she was startled for a moment, and then she started to smile at Ji Zhe.

"Look, Mr. Xiaozhe, Ayuan likes you very much too."

Ji Zhe didn't quite understand what she meant, so he followed Cuicui's gaze and saw A Yuan taking out a few sticks of incense from the cabinet that had scared him last night, and presenting them in front of him like a treasure.

A Yuan said to him: "Awooo!"

Ji Zhe frowned and took the incense sticks: "Hmm?"

I'm sorry he didn't quite understand what this meant;

"He wants you to light some incense for him."

Cuicui explained to him with a smile, while handing Jizhe something to light the fire;

Ji Zhe also lit the incense sticks following her actions. He also smelled them. The smoke from the incense sticks was the same as the smell used for ordinary offerings, nothing special.

Just when Ji Zhe was puzzled, he saw A Yuan smelling the incense smoke with a happy face, and while smelling it, he touched his belly...

Ji Zhe suddenly had an immature idea. Looking at Cuicui and Ayuan in front of him, he began to think, could it be that——

"Can you really eat incense?"

These season twists have only been seen in TV shows, such as those old zombie movies, and some horror novels;

"You know this?"

Cuicui looked very surprised. She looked at Jizhe and replied,

"We the dead do need incense and offerings, especially those like A Yuan who were murdered and died young. They need incense and offerings to stabilize their ghost bodies, but -"

Cuicui changed the subject and pointed at herself proudly.

"I'm different. I'm much better than him. I don't need to eat incense, and I can even eat food from living people!"
