"Are skills bestowed by the Gate of Reincarnation, or are they our inherent potential? There are many accidents that result in death every day, so why are we the only ones who get the opportunity?"
Cheng Shuang pursed her lips. She didn't know how others got their opportunities, but she had to thank that apocalyptic young lady for her soul fragments.
This topic is as profound as the "chicken or the egg" dilemma. In any case, the stronger the spatial grid, the more beneficial it is for Cheng Shuang. The two tacitly put this matter aside and talked about their gains during this period.
Aside from 'catching' Du Jun, Cheng Shuang didn't actually gain much. Of course, in just three days, she encountered more ghosts and monsters than Si Hai and Liu Juan.
Moreover, Du Jun had mentioned that "when the gates of hell open, a hundred ghosts roam at night," which made him feel that R country was inexplicably dangerous.
Sihai had anticipated this, "It's probably related to the stationmaster challenge." The reason he discovered the other lurking maintainers was because their stationmaster was not only besieged by ghosts, but also attacked by competitors.
The stationmaster's identity seems to attract extra attention from ghosts and monsters, making him a natural at causing accidents.
Fortunately, Cheng Shuang's appearance is that of a child, which can somewhat conceal the truth.
"Don't use the spatial grid unless it's absolutely necessary." Without a skill base, the existence of the spatial grid becomes all the more abrupt.
Sihai whispered, "Wait for me, I'll get rid of the spies as soon as possible."
Neither of them probably expected that this wait would last for almost half a month before Sihai was finally free from those scoundrels who were harassing him.
In order to avoid alerting the maintainers who were also lurking in the shadows, Cheng Shuang chose to continue going to school following Youzi's path. Just then, the teacher issued a notice that the school was going to hold a grade-level event.
For students in grades one, two, and three, it's school day.
Fourth and fifth graders are going to Shendu Mountain to soak in the hot springs.
The sixth-grade students went to visit and learn at a ranch that was further away.
The Akasaka family was used to this; apparently, the school often held various activities. When the teacher called to specifically inquire about Cheng Shuang's condition and found that she was indeed alright, she dutifully reminded the parents to read the notice, which listed the daily necessities that needed to be brought.
Qianli is very independent. After packing her things herself, she went to the Kawakami family's house to help Cheng Shuang pack her things.
Cheng Shuang did not refuse this kind offer, but she was simply not familiar with the Kawakami family's storage and organization practices.
There was an empty space above the TV cabinet in the living room. The two of them piled up the necessities they found on the cabinet and chatted as they tidied up. Of course, Chisato didn't ask about Tomie's whereabouts. Ever since they used the talisman to help their parents wake up, the Akasaka family couldn't help but feel nauseous and want to vomit whenever they heard the pronunciation of the two words related to 'Tomie' and 'E'.
Anyone who thinks about being like a dog, uncontrollably circling around someone, would find it unpleasant.
If this feeling were genuine, that would be fine, and they would accept it. But it's as if they're bewitched... no, they are bewitched.
Knowing that Tomie was no longer the Tomie of the past, the Akasaka family maintained their original attitude towards the rest of the Kawakami family and did not hold a grudge, especially since it was 'Yuko' who saved them.
Akasaka's mother once remarked that she was glad the Kawakami couple went on a trip abroad, otherwise they would have been in for a lot of trouble.
The eldest son would rather live outside than come back to see his sick sister, and the second daughter is even worse—she's neither human nor ghost...
Speaking of this, Chisato found it very strange, "But your parents, Kawakami, went abroad with your older brother and sister!!"
Cheng Shuang did not answer. She guessed that it might be related to the stationmaster challenge, or perhaps Ryusuke and Tomie had already transformed into ghosts, so their existence also restricted them from going abroad at will. However, all of this was blurred in the eyes of the Kawakami couple.
In their minds, their son and daughter are still by their side.
Shendushan is not in the city; it takes two hours by car. The school arranged for twelve buses to be used for the two grades and twelve classes, and they set off in a grand procession.
Having shared a night of life-and-death experiences, Chisato was no longer so averse to Yumi. Unfortunately, Yumi had fallen for a senior in her first year of high school and was patiently trying to get close to his sister.
Qianli looked at Cheng Shuang with disdain and whispered, "Now you know why Yumi is the only one who doesn't have any friends after transferring here! That big fangirl, she always has an ulterior motive when making friends."
Cheng Shuang looked at Qianli with suspicion. When did this child learn to gossip behind people's backs?
"What kind of look is that? I'm hoping you'll open your eyes and not be fooled!" Qianli muttered, feeling a little awkward. But the thought of Yumi no longer bothering Yuko made him both happy and worried. He was worried about Yuko, afraid that she would be sad.
However... Yuko is not quite the same as before!
Qianli secretly glanced at her friend who was wearing headphones and looking out the window. Her serene expression gave her a sense of peace, like the peace of mind that comes with not having to be afraid of anything, no matter how difficult the situation.
This is obviously wrong. He's a man and should take care of his sister, even though Yuko has never interacted with her brother.
At the foot of Mount Shendu, there are two family-run guesthouses, both themed around hot springs. They are usually competitors, but when there are too many customers, they end up helping each other out.
This guesthouse is a standard R-country style building with contemporary features.
The best option is a shared room that can be opened up; although there aren't many rooms, there are enough for many people to sleep in.
Upon entering the hotel, rows of luxurious dolls immediately elicited gasps of amazement from the children, followed by the wind chimes on the eaves, which tinkled beautifully in the breeze.
