Upon seeing the ghosts attached to their bodies, Zhang Siqi and Liu Yue screamed in panic and huddled together. Although their nerves were slightly stronger than Zheng Lei's, they still could not mask their inner terror. By contrast, Zheng Lei had been scared into a heap on the ground, weeping bitterly and muttering over and over that "this is not real," as if only running home to his mother could restore his sense of security.

Those ghosts faded away once more, invisible to the naked eye. Xiang Jiuge let out a sigh of relief, let go of the hand she had been gripping tightly, and walked over to check on Zhang Siqi and Liu Yue with concern. "Are you guys okay?" She had originally intended to give her two friends a hug, but the thought that they still had ghosts clinging to them made her abandon the idea.
With a pale face, Zhang Siqi trembled as she asked, "Jiuge, were those... those terrifying things just now really on us?"
