Mu Anxiao was not on the same channel as Uncle Chen. He said, "Um, I have a question for you, don't be scared."
"If it's something that would scare me, then forget it," Uncle Chen chuckled twice.
Seeing Uncle Chen's expression, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but ask, "Since you were born, have you ever been troubled by something inexplicable?"
Uncle Chen's eyes flickered. He said, "I'm already this old and have experienced a lot. You mentioned inexplicable troubles, and I've encountered them too, but I can't remember clearly."
"Then can you tell me about what you can remember?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"I won't tell you," Uncle Chen refused outright.
"Why..."
Before Mu Anxiao could finish speaking, the child spirit appeared. "You've truly broken the rules this time. Come with me."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked down at the child spirit standing beside him, then at Uncle Chen, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. He thought telepathically: This human is still here. If you take me away, you'll likely break the rules yourself.
"After we leave, I can erase his memory."
He can see spirits. Mu Anxiao thought telepathically again.
"Impossible, he..."
Before the child spirit could finish, he suddenly recalled the spirit he had captured today. Looking back at Uncle Chen, who was still lowering his head, he said, "That's right. If he can't see spirits, he wouldn't be captured by one, nor would he be coveted by that wolf spirit. What's going on?"
So, I feel something is wrong. Mu Anxiao swallowed and continued telepathically, I think he's deliberately hiding something.
"Then ask him. I'm leaving."
When will you come to capture me? Mu Anxiao asked as the child spirit began to cast his spell to leave.
The child spirit hesitated and said, "This human has his own problems, it has nothing to do with you." With that, he vanished.
Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the still silent Uncle Chen. He said, "If you tell me, I might be able to help you."
Hearing this, Uncle Chen’s gaze fell on Mu Anxiao’s face. "You're just a child, you..."
"As Ru Feng Qi Shi said, I am indeed different from all of you," Mu Anxiao replied dismissively. "I've told you my secret, so you can tell me yours now."
"If I tell you, can you really help me solve my problem?" Uncle Chen asked softly.
"Yes, I can, but it depends on what your problem is," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I can see some things that others can't, but not every day. Occasionally."
"From childhood to now, have you ever counted how many times you've seen them?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"Less than ten times in total. Every time it happens after I watch a ghost movie. Because of this, I rarely watch ghost movies, but..." Uncle Chen gave an awkward smile. "Before long, I can't resist watching them again."
"What is a ghost movie?" Mu Anxiao asked, confused.
"How can you not know?" Uncle Chen was incredulous.
"Oh, the environment I grew up in didn't allow me to watch... what.. those..." Mu Anxiao suddenly forgot what Uncle Chen had said and paused, then said, "ghost... things."
"Ghost movies," Uncle Chen emphasized.
"Oh, ghost movies." Mu Anxiao played along.
"Then you are truly pitiful," Uncle Chen said. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked around and asked, "You're not a monster, are you?"
