Chapter 359 - 361: Leaving the Coffin

"I know, I know, old man. I’ve gone over it so many times. You want me to recite it for you right now?"

"I know she doesn’t eat celery, tomatoes, or cilantro. Ugh, young people these days are so picky. Not like us back in our day. We ate everything!"

The old woman muttered to herself, her voice tinged with disgust.

"Don’t talk like that. And don’t just call me whatever you want when the time comes. We can’t let anyone find out something’s amiss!"

"Relax! I know what I’m doing."

The two plotted, paying no mind to Ming Yue lying in the coffin. To them, she was just an idiot and posed no threat whatsoever.

But Ming Yue, who only appeared to be fast asleep, was clenching her fists so tightly her nails dug sharply into her palms.

Every word they spoke reached her ears, and her mind recalled what Mo An had told her.

Back then, he had acted like a dedicated secretary to a VIP, making sure to remember every single one of her habits. He couldn’t miss a single detail, he’d said, because he didn’t want to make her unhappy.

At the time, she had only found it sweet, thinking he was just being incredibly attentive.

Who knew that behind her back, it was all part of such a deep-laid scheme? They actually wanted to swap in another ghost to replace her.

The mere thought sent a chill through Ming Yue’s heart, and her entire body trembled.

"Oh, right! Hurry and find some incense sticks at the village entrance. We can’t let this screw up the main event!"

The two ghosts left as they spoke.

As the two outside gradually moved away, Su Nian burned a piece of talisman paper.

A strange thing happened. The talisman paper was clearly burning on Su Nian’s end, but the smoke gradually vanished.

At the same time, Ming Yue discovered in terror that the faint scent of burning paper was rising around her.

This was the effect of Su Nian’s talisman paper.

Ming Yue was no fool. Though her heart was filled with dread, she stared intently at Su Nian until she saw her nod and say,

"Okay, now leave quietly. Remember, you must be extremely careful. Don’t alert the other ghosts!"

"O-Okay, okay. But... but after I push it open, where do I go?"

"After you push it open, dig away the dirt next to this coffin and then run out."

"There’s a patch of woods on the road you came in on. Run there first."

Hearing Su Nian’s reminder, Ming Yue’s mind quickly recalled it.

On the way here, she had indeed seen those woods.

She even complained to her boyfriend at the time, joking about how remote the place was.

Now, that memory was proving useful. Su Nian continued.

"But once you reach the woods, return immediately."

"Be extremely careful. Hide, take a roundabout path to shake anyone off, and come back to this grave!"

Ming Yue’s jaw dropped. She stared in disbelief, not understanding why Su Nian would arrange things this way.

But Su Nian explained.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. There are so many ghosts out there; you’ll never be able to hide from them outside!"

"So your only chance is to run out and then come back in. But the second time, you’ll hide underneath this coffin."

Su Nian’s instructions were detailed, but the immense danger involved was also palpable.

The netizens were all sweating bullets. If she ran even a little too slow, or if something unexpected happened and the ghosts outside discovered her, her end would be horrific. But there was no choice. She had to escape. If she didn’t, her soul would be devoured by those two ghosts.

[This is so scary, but I’m also so angry. They’re already dead, why do they have to be so greedy?]

[So desperate to live again!]

[It’s all about craving a longer life!]

[I really don’t get people like that. Why are they like this? I think you should live well while you’re alive, and when you die, just die in peace.]

[Especially possessing their own grandson’s body. Don’t they find that disgusting?]

The netizens hurled their insults, but Ming Yue had no time to pay attention to them. Trembling all over, she committed every one of Su Nian’s words to memory.

She quickly went over the plan one more time, took a deep breath, and with trembling hands, gently pushed open the lid of the coffin.
