Before leaving Fog City, Su Bai wanted to paint one last picture.
Qing Lan's heartfelt wish reached Su Bai through the Vengeful Ghost Puzzle.
So, before the thin mist had completely dispersed, Su Bai answered Qing Lan's wish. He brought an easel and painting supplies outside, sat on the chair set out in front of the shop, and began borrowing her power.
As Qing Lan's power flowed into Su Bai's body, he soon noticed that he had lost all feeling in his legs, yet his hands were itching to paint. Perhaps the Ghost Creatures sensed that his aura was no different from theirs, or perhaps there were no other humans nearby to draw their attention. Whatever the reason, most of those wandering the street continued roaming as though they had never noticed him.
Even the few Ghost Creatures foolish enough to approach Su Bai had their attention diverted by the Cat Spirits that ran out of the Peace Knot on his left wrist. Kai Xin, the perpetually clueless Little Black Cat, seemed to have suddenly wised up, diligently helping ease the burdens of Su Bai, the cat's Master.
Qing Lan sketched the outlines quickly, but even though she had sped up, refining the painting still took a considerable amount of time. By the time Su Bai set down his brush to admire the work before him, the thin mist around him had almost entirely dispersed. Beneath the Red Moon, Fog City looked no different from the rest of the Nightmare World.
The only difference, perhaps, was that the true ruins revealed within Fog City were stranger and more bizarre than those elsewhere in the Nightmare World.
Su Bai had thought Qing Lan wanted to paint Fog City as its true face gradually emerged from the dispersing dense fog-the piled-up remnants
