"At that time, the clothing store owner was indeed using the spirits of the people in the alley to perform a ritual to pray for the arrival of the underworld messengers. However, he did not succeed. After my husband and I died, under great shock, Xiao Tao unintentionally communicated with a wisp of the divine thought of the underworld messengers deep in the underworld.
