The Tomb Ghost following behind the girl couldn't help pursing its lips at her words.
Good news soon?
It looked up at the blue sky.
Who knew?
The Tomb Ghost followed the girl all the way to the foot of the mountain.
It watched them get into the car.
Soon, it heard the engine start beside it.
The black car gradually disappeared from view.
It couldn't help floating a little higher.
Then it saw the car again, along with the girl looking in its direction.
But there was no sign of it in her eyes.
The Tomb Ghost felt a little dispirited.
It was like opening a beautiful package, only to find that the long-awaited gift inside was nothing at all.
Soon, the car disappeared from view again.
This time, it didn't move.
After a barely audible sigh, the Tomb Ghost turned and floated back up the mountain.

"Chu Kexin, be careful when you're out alone."
The Middle-aged Man gave her a worried reminder.
He had a daughter of his own.
He couldn't help worrying a little more about the girl.
"Mm, I will."
The girl's eyes curved into a smile.
Although she hadn't seen the ghost yet, meeting Uncle Chen had been a happy thing too.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen."
"Don't worry. If there's any progress with the ghost, I'll call you."
"Okay."
The Middle-aged Man smiled. "Then I'll be off."
"Goodbye, Chu Kexin."
"Goodbye, Uncle Chen."
The girl stood by the road, watching the car drive away.
When it disappeared at the end of the road, she looked away.
She didn't turn
