The sky grew darker and darker. With the drizzle blurring everything around her and fog gradually rising in the mountains, everything seemed to turn black and white. The atmosphere was utterly eerie.
After Zhong Xueran finished speaking, she saw this person's face.
Her brow twitched slightly, then immediately relaxed.
Yet what appeared before her was an exceedingly hideous, terrifying face!
The terrifying female ghost stood only half a meter away from her. Its eyes were all whites, and a long knife scar ran down its face from the top of its skull to its chin, splitting its nose bridge, philtrum, and lips cleanly in two. And... the veins throbbing all over its face were horrifying!
There was no obvious strange stench on its body, but a chill like some invisible yin energy, the kind found in a morgue, enveloped it.
It seemed to be considering Zhong Xueran's answer.
Its horrifying, all-white eyes stared fixedly at Zhong Xueran as it slowly opened its mouth. Thick blood and saliva stretched into strands throughout its mouth. "All right..."
It agreed.
Phew...
Deep down, Zhong Xueran let out a huge sigh of relief.
Strict as her father had been, he had firmly etched those approaches to handling such situations into her mind.

When facing a Vengeful Ghost that asked questions like this, it was best to avoid giving it an answer it could judge as right or wrong.
Perhaps there were better answers, but this was the only one Zhong Xueran could think of on the spot.
"Personally taking it to find Meat Slope" was an answer it could not judge as right
