"Mr. Qin, are you scared?"
Yu Ruoli looked at him in confusion.
"Of course I am! Aren't you?" Qin Manjiang looked her up and down. "I can see you shaking too."

Maybe... I should eliminate one of the Vengeful Ghost's abilities as soon as the game starts?

Shen Hai checked the time. There was one minute left until midnight.

It's coming...
The six of them remained silent and alert. Qin Manjiang was especially tense.
Clang-
The wind picked up outside,
