"So that's how it is. I understand now." After saying that, Hu Tao took off his hat and handed it to Gui Zhong.

Then she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes slightly, and muttered something...

Seeing this, Ying looked confused, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a chill coming over her and couldn't help shivering.

Before she could react, she saw several will-o'-the-wisp fires suddenly rising around her, emitting faint light in the air.

"here it is……"

"Am I still alive..." At this moment, Paimon opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and muttered to himself.

"Don't make any noise, both of you. From what I can judge, the ghost you encountered before should still be nearby." Walnut said in a low voice.

"You said...what!" Hearing the other party's words, Paimon hugged Ying tightly and covered his eyes.

At this moment, the surrounding will-o'-the-wisp fires began to slowly approach everyone.

As the will-o'-the-wisp lights gathered, the figure of a girl gradually became clearer and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. There was no life in her eyes, which were empty and lifeless, like two bottomless black holes, making people feel a chill.

"Are you... here to play with me..." Waves of hoarse words came out from the girl's throat again, and the voice sounded extremely eerie and creepy.

Looking at the girl, Hu Tao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile. Then, she slowly took out a worn-out hairpin from her pocket.

When the girl saw the hairpin in Hu Tao's hand, she was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up, with a faint light flashing in her eyes.

She slowly approached Kurumi, stretched out a small hand, and tried to touch the hairpin with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Ying and Paimeng on the side looked confused. They had no idea what was going on.

"What is going on?" Ying asked curiously.

"Well, it's a long story..." Walnut said softly, and then handed the hairpin in her hand to the little girl.

Many years ago, accompanied by a cry, a baby girl came into this world.

However, this should have been a happy thing, but her biological parents cruelly abandoned her in Wuwangpo due to family reasons.

Perhaps it was God's mercy or fate that this poor baby girl was rescued and taken in by an old lady in her sixties.

"What a lovely child..." The old grandmother looked at the crying baby girl in her arms with joy, her eyes full of pity.

"I'll just call you 'Little Jiujiu'." The old lady said with a smile.

As time went by, Xiao Jiujiu gradually grew up.

Although she often envied the lives of her peers and longed to play with them, she did not feel lonely.

Because the kind old lady was always by her side, giving her endless love and warmth.

some day.

The sunlight poured into the room through the window. Jiujiu sat by the window, looking into the distance, his heart full of curiosity and yearning for the outside world.

"Grandma, what do you think the world outside is like?" Jiujiu looked at the blue sky outside the window and asked curiously.

"Haha, do you want to know?" Grandma responded with a smile, with a hint of pampering in her voice.

"When little Jiujiu grows up, he will go to see it naturally. As for me, I may not be able to wait until that time..." Grandma sighed softly, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Hearing this, Jiujiu's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance and worry. She hugged her grandmother's calf tightly, as if she wanted to grasp this warmth.

"No! Jiujiu will always stay with grandma!" she said firmly, with determination in her voice.

Grandma felt Jiujiu's emotion. She patted Jiujiu's head gently and consoled him with a smile: "Haha, I know. Jiujiu is the best and loves grandma the most!"

As she spoke, grandma took off the hairpin on her head and gently put it on little Jiujiu's head.

Jiujiu raised her head and looked into her grandmother's eyes, tears glistening in them.

Although she has never had the love of her parents, she knows that her grandmother's love for her will never change, and she will repay this deep affection in her own way.

However, fate is always so cruel and merciless. On such a night, with lightning and thunder, howling winds, and heavy rain pouring down, it seemed that the whole world was shrouded in darkness and fear.

Xiao Jiujiu was chopping wood alone in the forest. She held a worn-out axe tightly in her hand, wore a thin straw raincoat, and walked with difficulty on the muddy road.

But unexpectedly, they were attacked by a group of treasure thieves.

"Haha, I didn't expect there would be such a pretty girl in such a remote place."

There was greed and evil flashing in the eyes of the treasure-stealing group members. They stared at Xiao Jiujiu with ferocious smiles on their lips.

"Brothers, go ahead and capture her. Everyone will get a share!" the leader of the treasure map thieves gave the order, with malicious intent in his words.

Before Jiujiu realized it, she was surrounded by the treasure-stealing group. She looked at the treasure-stealing group members around her in horror, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.

She tried to resist, but her strength was too weak.

"Damn it, you bunch of scum, let me go!" Jiujiu struggled desperately, her voice was crying and tears flowed down her cheeks.

But the members of the treasure-stealing group didn't care about her crying, but became even more excited. They pulled Jiujiu's clothes hard, trying to drag her away.

Jiujiu felt that her dignity was trampled upon and her body and mind were greatly hurt.

So she became ruthless, held the hairpin tightly in her hand, and decided to use death to defend her innocence.

So, under the inhuman torture, Jiujiu chose to commit suicide.

She used up her last bit of strength to bang her head against the stone beside her. Blood flowed from her forehead and her eyes gradually lost their luster.

Seeing the lifeless girl, the treasure-stealing group was indifferent. They looked at Jiujiu's body indifferently, then turned and left.

In this long night, the girl's life just disappeared. Her body became cold and stiff, lying alone in the rain, with no one paying attention to her...

“In fact, not long ago, a man came to the Hall of the Dead and sought our help.”

Walnut put her hands on her hips and said, "I was on duty in the lobby at the time, and then a man suddenly broke in."

"For some reason, he met the ghost of this girl." Walnut looked at the hairpin in her hand.

"According to him, the other party has been chasing him closely."

"After tripping over a stone, he picked up this hairpin, and it was at that time that the girl in front of him disappeared..." Walnut frowned, as if thinking about something.
