Two children were walking on the village road. Some of the villagers thought they saw ghosts when they got up to use the toilet. They hurriedly ran back into their rooms. Lilly looked at Zachary with a straight face. He asked, "What’s wrong?" And she said, "I felt that you'd changed, but I can’t tell." He also felt that something changed inside him; his brain was functioning well, and he was so agile that he could not believe it. He wanted to capture more ghosts to practice now. He felt that he had no place to use his skills. "Oh, where did you get this black cat?" He looked at the cat in her arms. She said, "I picked it up on the way!"
He was speechless. Lilly had been picking up a lot of animals whenever she went out. It seemed like she shared fate with them.

The next day, Jonas and Quinnie would finish shooting, and they were planning to go back. This was an easy scene to shoot, but Lilly could not understand the script. "Why do they always write stories like this? Mommy also kept a lot of similar novels. Why can’t they write something else?" She looked at the script and asked, "Why did the female lead always enter the wrong room?" And she asked, "Why was the powerful male lead always poisoned?" She continued to ask, "Why did the side characters always try to harm the female lead?"
Jonas had no idea. but it was what the audience liked. Quinnie was amused by her question, and she said, "People usually like tragedies instead of happy ones!" Lilly asked, "Why?"
Quinnie answered, "Maybe... If everything goes smoothly, it will be boring. People barely have patience to watch it." She then said, "But if someone appears to fight for the male lead with the female lead, everyone will hate her and have the motivation to wait for her bad ending!" And hence, the view would be high.
Lilly shook her head and said, "The adults are complicated." The children were easy; they could simply make up after the fights. Everyone could be friends, but they would be fighting against each other. Zachary asked, "When are we going back?" Quinnie said, Actually, we are only left with one scene now." She continued to say, "The side character has to signal her smart cat to dash toward the female lead."
The original cat was pretty obedient; they could attract it toward the female lead with a stick. But somehow it ran away two days ago. They found several cats as backup, but none of them dared to dash toward Quinnie. "The entire shooting crew is trying to tame the cats!"
Lilly looked to the side and saw a bunch of people surrounding a cat, but the cat was not cooperating. She asked, "Can we go home once it’s finished?" She missed her grandmother.
Jonas said, "I can send you all back first!" She shook her head and replied, "I’ll wait for you all." She looked at the cat being surrounded; it was a super cute one. And she looked at the one that she was holding; it was... She could only see its eyes. It doesn’t seem to be cute enough...
Jonas looked at it and found out that Lilly picked it up yesterday. And he thought of Bellflower. Usually, Lilly would pick up special animals. This black cat might be special, but... Bellflower is more suitable.
Esper was upset. What is this? How dare they dislike me? Am I this bad? Do they know how many cats want to be with me in Gray Earth? He snorted. "It’s just acting, isn’t it?"
Lilly instantly raised it and said, "My cat volunteers!"
