Good, so we had another hitchhiker.
Nepheli, who had appeared like a mastermind, had immediately asked to join in on the fun.
It was a little absurd, but to Fu Qian, it made sense—aside from the fact that she was technically dead.
She was a woman, an acquaintance, and still had her supernatural abilities... She checked all the same boxes as the others, didn't she?
Fu Qian wouldn't have been surprised if Nepheli said she wanted to go to the chapel, too.
"So you did this?"
Not everyone was so open-minded. Chief Yuan, who had nearly been in an accident just moments ago, immediately turned to confront the culprit.
"Yes."
Nepheli confirmed it a second time without the slightest embarrassment.
"You did it so we'd stop and let you get in?"
Yuan Shan continued bravely, though she looked as if she'd just run into a lunatic.
"Sorry. I never meant to put anyone in danger. I mainly wanted to demonstrate my value."
Nepheli glanced at the front wheel, which had nearly been left hanging in midair, and stressed that the dangerous turn of events had been a minor accident. She hadn't intended to make things quite so dramatic.
Her value...
Unfortunately, her supposed good intentions seemed to have provoked an even stronger reaction.
"Could we take what you just did to mean that you wanted us to know you can block the road ahead, and that if we don't let you in, no one gets out?"
Miss Wen was sharp as a tack. She immediately grasped the implication and lowered the window as she spoke.
"Yes. I couldn't just hitch a ride for free, after all."
There was something to be said for having died once. Nepheli didn't even blink as she admitted that was exactly where her value lay.
