On the Yellow Spring Route, two tiny figures staged a scene: she fled, and she pursued...
Behemoth and Leviathan stood still, rendered speechless.
Jannat chased after Miah, running past the Outlook Tower, Hellhound Ridge, Golden Ridge, Ghost Village, and Drowsy Hall...
Ghost Village housed the ghost spirits who failed to pass through Hellhound Ridge and Golden Ridge. They would bewilder complete souls, enticing them to stay in Ghost Village as substitutes.
Upon seeing two complete ghost children running towards them, the ghost spirits rejoiced, thinking they had a chance.
But the two children swiftly dashed away.
Silence fell upon the crowd of ghost spirits in Ghost Village.
Jannat chased after Miah, finally stepping into the realm of Ghost Town.
Before reaching Ghost Town, there was still a chance for revival. However, once they arrived, it meant they truly were deceased souls.
Startled, Miah stepped back as she noticed the increasing number of ghosts around her. Just then, a hand landed on her shoulder.
About to scream in fright, Miah heard Jannat's breathless voice say, "Miah, why are you running? I can hardly keep up with you!"
Miah was taken aback when she saw Jannat behind her, feeling a surge of grievance welling up inside her. She pouted.
"Jannat, I finally found you, Jannat," Miah clung to Jannat, filled with sorrow. "I was chased by a ghost all the way."
Jannat felt at a loss for words.
Could it be possible that the ghost chasing her was Jannat herself?
Jannat chuckled and said, "Miah, you silly girl, we're both ghosts now!"
They looked ahead and saw Ghost Town, where ghosts constantly came and went.
It was like being in the mortal world, where people came and went. Among the ghosts were many they feared, their loved ones from the mortal world whom they could no longer see.
And now, they were ghosts too...
Thinking this way, what was there to be afraid of?
Miah wiped her teary eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "You're right..."
Jannat asked, "Do you still miss your mom and dad?"
Miah nodded gently.
Jannat said, "I do too, but Lilly told me not to be afraid. We just need to keep moving forward, and if it's meant to be, we'll see our mom and dad again in the future."
Miah whispered, "Hmm..."
Lilly had whispered the same to her, treating this journey as a trip, and that one day they would reunite.
The two little girls exchanged a smile and walked hand in hand.
With each other's company, they were no longer afraid.
