Immediately afterward, a small, swift white shadow flashed past in his peripheral vision.
The little paper doll Cuihua abandoned him and landed on the young man. Bai Ze's eyes widened. There was another paper doll on the young man's shoulder. Now that the two paper dolls met, they affectionately touched each other's foreheads, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the name "Yan Chiyu" immediately came to Bai Ze's mind; he was undoubtedly the owner of the voice from earlier.
The young man walked up to the little girl, placed his palm on her forehead, and a blue light swirled around it. Within moments, Yan Chiyu frowned, as if he had encountered a difficult situation.
Yan Chiyu turned his head, his gaze falling on the ghosts cowering in the corner. For a fleeting moment, Bai Ze vaguely saw a hint of pity in the young man's eyes.
What does he want to do?
"Feel sorry."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, all the ghosts that Bai Ze had labeled as 'good guys' were crushed into dust by an invisible hand, slowly dissipating like tiny starlight.
The last shrill scream faded away with the wind, and Bai Ze stood there, frowning in disapproval.
He cried out urgently, "You, why?!"
Yan Chiyu ignored him, focusing instead on collecting the soft, five-pointed star-like white light emanating from the ghosts. Once he had collected all the light, Yan Chiyu didn't use it for himself. He moved closer to the little girl again, and with a forceful push, all the white light flowed unimpeded into the girl's forehead.
"Um, Miss Yue is still inside her body, so don't make decisions on your own, in case..." Bai Ze's voice was urgent but still gentle.
“She’s afraid of ghosts, and these wandering spirits are trapped here. If they aren’t eliminated, they will haunt her for life, disturb her mind, and destroy her spirit.” Yan Chiyu gently stroked the little girl’s head, then reached out and grabbed something in the air, but actually grabbed nothing.
“But before, she got along very well with those female ghosts,” Bai Ze couldn’t help but explain.
Yan Chiyu finally turned around and looked at Bai Ze properly. Perhaps sensing that Bai Ze possessed some of Wu Yue's aura, and considering that he had just communicated with Cuihua, Yan Chiyu was less wary of him. Sui said, "If it weren't for the leakage of your spirit beast aura, they wouldn't have revealed such a terrifying appearance and emitted ghostly energy to frighten her. Strictly speaking, it's your fault."
"Really... indeed, if I hadn't suddenly revealed myself, they wouldn't have been so frightened."
Seeing the guilt on Bai Ze's face, Yan Chiyu continued slowly, "Actually, it doesn't matter. They are just one of the gifts that Bai Tang left for Wu Songsong. In the end, they will be burned and leave behind this ash."
Bai Ze was completely confused and could only purse his lips and whisper, "I don't understand. Who is Bai Tang...?"
"Ouch."
As the sound rang out, a familiar figure rolled out of the little girl's body. Yan Chiyu stretched out his arm to catch her and pulled her into his embrace.
"Miss Yue?!"
"Why are you here?" The familiar scent of cold pine wafted into her nose, and Wu Yue tilted her head slightly, her tightly furrowed brows instantly softening, revealing a gentle and sincere smile.
"I've completed six tasks, so I came to see my girlfriend." Yan Chiyu said, a slight smile playing on his lips, his pride barely concealed.
Bai Ze thought to himself, "I thought this guy wouldn't laugh."
Wu Yue touched her nose and chuckled softly, "I thought I was pretty fast at completing the mission, but I didn't expect you to be even faster."
“Of course.” Yan Chiyu smiled. “I’m the kind of person who skips the story and goes straight to the battle in games.”
He paused, then pointed to the little girl lying on the sofa, "She's like you when you were little..."
Wu Yue knew what he wanted to ask, and didn't hide anything, revealing all the memories she had seen in the little girl's body: "Simply put, she is like a clone of me. Bai Tang set up a recurring ghost encounter mode on little Wu Yue, and has already experimented with it 167 times. Today is the 168th time. It's not easy for little Wu Yue to dare to come into contact with ghosts and live in harmony with them. I can only say that she's just a little short."
Yan Chiyu raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment: "My fault?"
