At that moment, sensing Jiang Haojie's grip tighten, the cat ghost bared its stark white fangs in a grin, then nestled even more docilely in his arms.
This man had tormented so many of its kind. It ought to torment him slowly, too. It could not let him get off with an easy death.
Jiang Haojie remained oblivious to the approaching danger, still considering himself the hunter and the cat ghost his prey.
After dinner and a little tidying up, it was time to head to the General’s Mansion.
Song An kept watch on the fan forum and discovered that quite a few fans were waiting outside the General’s Mansion. Unafraid of encountering ghosts, they just wanted to see Qi Gu. He therefore made special arrangements with the scenic area staff to have them open a side gate, allowing the group to slip inside unnoticed while the fans waited at the main entrance.
Only after they were inside did they restart the livestream.
At six o'clock, with the sky not quite dark, the General’s Mansion, so imposing by day, looked cold and sinister in the fading light. The many covered corridors and their small decorative windows, from which a head might poke out at any moment, made it seem all the more eerie.
Everyone held a copy of the map included with their admission ticket to the General’s Mansion. According to the map, they were currently at the east side gate. Turning around, they could see the mansion's tall, tightly shut main gates and the high threshold beneath them.
Qi Gu looked at the thresholds in every doorway in the mansion and said, "Watch your step as we walk. Don't step on the thresholds; step over them. The word for threshold shares a sound with the word for an obstacle.
