Chapter 413:

Because they learned from the male ghost that the figures appearing in the cemetery at midnight were not native inhabitants but rather ghosts from elsewhere, the group decided to wait there for these ghosts to appear, thus resolving the problem.

"Tsk, this is weird. We'll just rest here tonight. I wonder when those ghosts will arrive. They're so annoying."

Ye Dongfeng released the male ghost, then plopped down on the ground and instructed him, "You, you stay outside tonight to keep watch for us. If you spot any of those ghosts coming, come back and let us know."

"Okay, I understand. I want my neighbors to come back too!"

The male ghost nodded repeatedly, then ran to the entrance of the cemetery to keep watch.

Yue Jiuling also squatted down on the ground. She touched the cold floor and said, "It's not even midnight yet, and it's still so cold. How long are we going to wait?"

"Yeah, hey, when do those outside ghosts usually arrive? How much longer do we have to wait?"

Mu Xiaoyi also felt that it was too cold to wait in the cemetery, so she turned around and asked the male ghost at the entrance.

The male ghost, perched on the wall by the entrance, said, "They usually arrive around midnight. Don't worry, everyone, just wait a little longer."

Ya Zi squatted down behind Yue Jiuling. He saw that Yue Jiuling didn't want to sit down because the ground was cold, so he took off his long scarf and put it on the ground. Leaning against a tombstone, he said, "Sit down, let's sit together, then it won't be cold."

Yue Jiuling was so touched when she saw Ya Zi use her newly bought scarf as a cushion that she let out a "meow" and said, "Meow~, Young Master Long, you are so clever. I should have brought my scarf with me tonight."

"Yeah, I only thought of it on a whim, otherwise my legs would get tired from squatting all the time."

Ya Zi said calmly.

Seeing the two of them using scarves as cushions, Ye Dongfeng regretted not bringing his own scarf. He looked at Mu Xiaoyi beside him and said, "Xiaoyi, look how nice they are. With cushions, they don't have to sit on the floor anymore. We're going to sit on the floor."

Mu Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at Ye Dongfeng, then hugged Bai Xinyu and said, "Tch, I don't need to sit, and I'm not afraid of the cold. Come on, Xinyu, turn back into your original form and warm my hands."

Bai Xinyu was dressed fairly warmly tonight. Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, she transformed into a large white cat wearing a cotton coat, and was then held in Mu Xiaoyi's arms for warmth.

"Oh my god, Xiaoyi, you've gone too far. Not only are you not cold, but you can also pet the cat. That's really too much."

Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Dongfeng pitifully walked over to Yinni and said, "Yinni, look at them, why don't we form a group to keep warm?"

Hidden was looking down at his phone when he heard Ye Dongfeng's words. He gave him a disgusted look and said, "You don't want me to turn back into my original form, do you? Don't even think about it. If you're cold, go for a run yourself. I'm not going to pet you!"

Ye Dongfeng felt very aggrieved after being scolded by Yin Ni. He jumped around a few times to warm up, saying, "Fine, poor me, I'll just jump around a few more times myself."

"Haha, yes, you should jump a few more times."

Mu Xiaoyi smiled at Ye Dongfeng, and even Yue Jiuling said, "Who told you to be so lazy? You don't even wear enough clothes when you go out."

"I didn't expect to have to wait here for so long."

Ye Dongfeng said as he jumped.

Everyone endured the cold wind in the cemetery, waiting for the ghosts to come, but after more than an hour, they still hadn't arrived.

"Hey, you there, didn't you say those ghosts usually come after midnight? Why haven't they come yet tonight? It's almost one o'clock."

Ye Dongfeng stood in front of a luxurious tombstone and shouted at the male ghost standing at the door.

The male ghost returned from the doorway, and he said, equally puzzled, "I don't know. They usually come around this time. It's unusual that the neighbors who didn't see me off tonight are back."

"What were they like before? Did they also try sending the ghost back the next day?"

Hidden also asked.

"Yes, I have tried. I often hide and don't go with them. Sometimes they take my neighbors out, and they only bring them back the next day. They took away a lot of ghosts the day before yesterday, and they didn't bring them back last night. They have to bring them back tonight."

The male ghost kept looking towards the cemetery entrance and said, "Could something have happened?"

"It's hard to say. You were all taken away by them, and you don't even know what they're taking you there for. What if they do something bad? It would be terrible if something happened to you; your souls would be scattered, and that would be horrible."

Mu Xiaoyi guessed, "And they also erase your memories every time, so it's clear they're not doing anything good."

"What should I do? Could something have really happened to my neighbors?"

The male ghost said worriedly, "Sigh, we're all a bunch of good ghosts waiting to be reincarnated, how did we end up like this?"

Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling frowned upon hearing his words. The atmosphere in this cemetery was indeed quite calm, and there wasn't much yin energy. It was clear that the ghosts here weren't evil, so they didn't know what those outside ghosts were doing taking those local ghosts away.

"Tsk tsk, this case should be classified as a missing persons case. A whole bunch of ghosts have disappeared; this is really amusing!"

Bai Xinyu wagged her tail in Mu Xiaoyi's arms and said, "Should we wait now or not?"
