Polly leaned into Lilly and said, "Lilly, I promise to behave! Please let me follow you out." It continued to say, "I won’t sing any song." Lilly asked, "Are you serious?" Polly replied, "Realer than the gold!" In the end, she let Polly tag along. It stood on her shoulder happily. Polly would literally sing to celebrate, but it was not suitable in the cemetery.

The last time Lilly and her family visited the cemetery, they ran into a foolish ghost’s family. It was pretty hasty. This time, they managed to slowly take their time to pray to the ancestors and even talk to them. They went home in the afternoon.
In the parking lot, Lilly saw Pablo flopping to the side, and she hurriedly took a stack of yellow papers. Blake turned around to take some incense. Bettany asked, "Where are you going?" He answered, "To poke the ants' nest." Bettany stared at his hands in silence.
Lilly came to the corner of the parking lot, bent down, and drew a circle on the ground. She took the yellow paper and drew a lot of things on it, and she wrote Pablo’s details on it too. She had to use an actual lighter to burn the paper money; but she did not have one on her. Blake squatted down and lit them for her. "Are you burning money for your Master?" He muttered, "He’s pretty rich already." Lilly said, "No one would complain about having too much money!" Wow, she’s actually right, Blake thought. "Daddy, why are you here?" He inserted the incense into the ground and replied, "To pay some respect to him." Although he's been dead for three thousand years, it feels good for someone to remember him, right? They smiled at each other while waiting for the stuff to burn.
Pablo was waiting by the side, and he was waiting for Jannat’s parents to come out. Josh wanted to make Jannat follow her; they had to collect more information before this. Suddenly, a soft noise sounded in his ears. Dozens of bank notes appeared in his hands, and each of them was worth a trillion dollars. His status suddenly increased dramatically, and he became one of the richest spirits in the underworld. He looked at the letter coming with that money. "Master, have a happy day!" It was written by Lilly; she was in primary school now, and her handwriting was getting neater. She was growing up to be fine.
Pablo broke into laughter. There were different ways of burning paper money, but the majority of them would have the money sent to the underworld to be processed. And the dead had to queue up to get their money. But the Ruler of Hell was the one who burned the money, so they went straight to him. He felt warm.
Suddenly the security guard said at the other end of the parking lot, "Hey! You two! You can’t burn papers here!" Lilly hurriedly blew on the paper money to accelerate the burning; her saliva was everywhere. And a huge amount of money was appearing at Pablo’s side. Blake looked at the burning incense and thought, I guess it can’t be helped. Seeing the paper money completely burned into ashes, he said expressionlessly to the guard, "Sorry, I’m playing with my kid; we’re poking the ants’ nest." Lilly chuckled as she said, "He, he!" The guard thought to himself, Playing with the kid? You’re f*cking toying with me...
Once they were back at the Crawford Residence, Lilly and Josh went to sleep early. Hannah hurriedly requested to go to sleep too. Hmph, the two of them must be going out to play tonight! I’m going to pretend to sleep and follow them out later! Two hours later, there was a snoring sound coming out of Hannah’s room.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the mortuary of the hospital looked eerie. Although the lightning was the same as the day before, it somehow seemed spookier. Josh followed Lilly, Lilly followed Blake, and Pablo was on the other side. Blake naturally had his ways of bringing them here. It was extremely quiet in the mortuary, and there were a lot of cabinets in it. Each cabinet had 24 spaces, and some of them contained bodies that had not been taken away yet. Josh felt scared; he felt like there were countless things staring at him from the dark. "Lilly… Ja… Jannat was already cremated, wasn’t she? Why did she still ask us to come here?" Josh stuttered.
Lilly was about to talk, but a huge noise got her attention. A cabinet beside Josh was suddenly opened.
