Chapter 418 (2/2)

Were not they trouble seekers?

Every family in this village had placed a coffin in their house. Who knows what kind of culture they practiced?

Nevertheless, Zhao Song did not stop these people from being idiots. Where else could he look for writing inspirations if they did not stir something up?

After all, he had Xiao Hei. He worshipped Xiao Hei the same way he worshipped his ancestors. He took care of it, as his life depended on it!

He could not help it. He had gone through a lot of scenes in his supernatural stories, and believed that ghosts and spirits sustained this world. The best thing he knew was to protect himself by staying away and running away from trouble.

Therefore, the unconscious Zhao Youyue scared the living light out of him, and his first thought was to run away as far as possible. A young girl lying unconscious, deep in the wilderness; it was way too eerie, was it not?

In his novels, those troublemaking characters would not hesitate to save people. In fact, those people they saved were not humans; they were ghosts!

One by one, everybody would die mysteriously as they played the savior!

Her pretty face was deadly, it was far too deadly. It was a trap that baited people into saving her. But not him, he loved his life more than hers.

This was no joke at all. Zhao Song had witnessed such a scenario many times over. He never understood why were there so many fearless souls who ignored the practice of maintaining harmony with spirits. They often crossed the line and became his source of writing inspiration.

His novels retold actual, real-life incidents. Readers often argued about the legitimacy of trouble-seeking actions as described in his novel, eager to prove the existence of ghosts!

Ghosts definitely existed in this world, even if one chose not to believe it.

Zhao Song could not move away from the scene, no matter how much he wanted to. The cat that he worshipped as his protection did not want to leave, unless he took this unconscious young girl along.

Zhao Song could not shake the feeling that he had just became a side character in a novel. All this while, he had been an author who had observed the world savely, omnisciently.

There was no way for him to become a character in any supernatural story!

However, he had to save this potential ghost magnet to persuade his black cat – ancestral protector.

That’s right. He was convinced that he was saving a ghost, and prayed she was, not an evil one.
