The Ghost Chariot, looking rather listless, began struggling violently again.
It strained one of its heads toward the human.
Like a "hand" reaching out for help.
"Gugu~ Gugu~"
Save me!

The human merely watched it. His calm, emotionless gaze made it shudder involuntarily.

Little White Fox glanced sideways at the White Snake. "So when are you going to let me see you do it?"
The White Snake froze.
