"Then what happened?"
"What happened to that Old Liu Tou you mentioned?"
The young woman asked.
"Then... then he disappeared..."
"Old Liu Tou chased after him but couldn't find anyone. A perfectly living person had vanished around a corner..."
"He thought it was evil, so he told quite a few neighbors about it."
"But everyone thought he was talking nonsense, that it was a hallucination caused by drinking. He had nothing to do and often drank in the security office."

"You look older than him. You should know a few things too, right?"
Seeing that the woman was no longer paying attention to him,
the old man felt relieved.

they considered that not making things difficult for them.
Sometimes,
ordinary people were just this humble.
But there was nothing they could do.
They were all ordinary people. Being able to survive was already good enough. There was no use
