I thought for a moment before I remembered that case file.
I still remembered that the client in the file had an unusual name: Ren Pi. But he hadn't been skinned by a ghost. He'd nearly died in a car accident. A coworker with a special ability had made Ren Pi hallucinate, letting him see what the road to the underworld looked like, and ultimately saved his life.
I remembered that both of them had left Minqing in the end. They probably wanted to start their lives over.
When Wu Ling suddenly brought up that case file, my heart skipped a beat.
"Don't tell me... he's dead?" That was my first thought.

The car flipped over, and there was a whole group of elementary school students inside, yet they were all unharmed. You could call it a miracle."
"So... they should've died back then?" I didn't quite understand what Wu Ling meant, so I
