Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

"How did you know?!"

Liu Xuan was startled by An Lan's call and stood blankly in front of her seat.

"It's the line of sight..."

"Those guys are still watching us, their eyes are still on us... I suspect that if we sit down in those two seats... something bad might happen..."

"Is...is that so?"

Looking around suspiciously, Liu Xuan noticed the sharp gazes around her, and her expression darkened.

Without hesitation, she immediately closed her eyes, and tiny white lights emanated from her pupils.

[S-Rank Talent: Memories Reset] has been activated!

A blurry image began to appear in my tense mind.

At a small octagonal table, a kind-faced couple sat, holding a little boy, chatting and laughing tenderly. Across the table, a pair of dirty little hands were about to reach onto the table...

"You slut!!!"

"What are you doing?!"

"I said...can you sit at the table now?!"

A man's furious shout rang out, and the small hand hidden under the table snapped open. Immediately, a little girl's sobs filled the air, and she reluctantly withdrew her hand...

"Why?"

"What...what is this?"

Liu Xuan's eyes snapped open instantly. A memory from the past brought her to a strange sense of oppression.

Once again, cold gazes swept over her. After a moment's thought, Liu Xuan chose not to sit at the table, but instead walked behind An Lan: "An Lan! I saw what happened..."

"Women aren't supposed to sit at the table here..."

"what?"

"Can't women sit at the table?"

An Lan looked around and saw that there were still some peasant women sitting at the other tables.

"Ho—"

"If you don't sit down..."

"Those stone figures are about to crawl out of their tombstones!"

Mo Han's teasing voice came over.

He sat opposite An Lan with his arms crossed in front of his waist, looking like he was watching a good show.

"Sit...sit down..."

"Sit down!!!"

At the dining table, a large section of the stone figure's torso had emerged from the back of a villager's neck. The stone figure had already crawled out of its upper body, its arms reaching out to pull at An Lan...

"..."

An Lan stared at the stone man's head.

[-15]!

With this level of goodwill, if the other person were to crawl out of the stone tablet, I would be torn to pieces in no time!

He hurriedly stepped out of the "fish head" facing position, and his -15 favorability points were frozen, but they still hadn't recovered!

"Giggle giggle—"

His cold gaze remained fixed on An Lan.

An Lan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the back of a child at the dining table, picked the child up with both hands, and sat down in the child's seat. He then placed the child on his lap.

Kid: ? ? ?

"kid..."

"My brother took a liking to you the moment he saw you. I'll sit next to you and serve you some food..."

"Is everything alright?"

An Lan smiled at the tombstone-like face behind the child's head, but the tombstone-like face remained expressionless: "..."

[-15]...[-5]...[0]...[10]!

but!

Because of these actions, the goodwill I had lost was quickly restored!

"You bet right!"

"It's a seating issue!"

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Mo Han, who was sitting opposite An Lan, gave her a strange look: "Hey! How did you figure out about the seating arrangement?! You..."

"Tsk..."

Why should I tell you?

"It's clearly a collaborative effort between higher-level units, yet you seem to have been somewhat hostile towards me from the very beginning, don't you?"

"I don't understand... what did I do to offend you?"

An Lan gave Mo Han a cold shoulder. Mo Han's lips twitched, of course she wouldn't tell him about the [Echo of the Future], but her expression changed and became even colder: "Is this how you talk to your superiors?!"

"Ho—"

"If all you can do is use this to intimidate me..."

"I'd think you're not even as good as Yuwen Ji!"

"you!!!"

"The food is served!"

Just as the two were locked in a heated argument...

The small house on the left side of the courtyard opened, and from the kitchen where wisps of smoke rose, several chefs dressed in white with the character "囍" (double happiness) on their robes walked out, carrying plates of paper-folded dishes, and headed to the small table in the courtyard.

Yes!

Paper-folded plates!

but...

It was said to be made of folded paper, but upon closer inspection, An Lan realized it looked more like something burned for the dead.

The plate was made of white and yellow paper money, and the plate was filled with pieces of meat made of black and red paper.

"The meat's here!"

A large bowl of paper-folded "meat" was served in Anlan. The villagers at the table did not hesitate at all. They picked up their chopsticks, picked up a small piece of paper meat, and sent it to the face of the tombstone behind their necks.

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

After the eerie chewing sound rang out, a satisfied expression instantly appeared on the faces of these tombstone-faced figures.

Even more bizarrely, while they were indeed chewing paper, grease and blood were oozing from the corners of their mouths as they chewed!

"Grass..."

"This dungeon is really weird..."

Mo Han complained, not daring to touch her chopsticks at all.

An Lan picked up the child in her arms, intending for the child to reach for the food. Unexpectedly... the little guy buried his head directly in the plate, like a dog face-planting in mud, his exaggerated, tombstone-like face as he chewed and swallowed the meat...

"Hohoho- ...ho-hohoho-hohoho-hoho

It made strange noises as it ate, and the surface of the monument was covered with blood and oil.

The other villagers at the table did not react to this.

A strange, eerie chewing sound filled the courtyard, creating a sinister and unsettling atmosphere...

"so..."

"Is this instance about escaping the village... or about witnessing the entire burial process?"

An Lan's gaze swept around, finally settling on the coffin in the central pit.

The bride in the red robe trembled slightly on the shoulders, and her head under the veil was shaking slightly. It looked like... she was crying?

He tapped his fingers, as if he was thinking of doing something...

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly!

The table in front of them shook violently, and an older villager shouted, "Where's the pig's heart soup?! Where's the pig's heart soup I ordered?!"

"ah?!!!"

He cursed, and from the tombstone behind him, a stone figure with half its body protruded, looking at Mo Han and the other three with a sinister expression.

"Junior..."

"Did you bring any pig hearts...?"

"this..."

"Giggle giggle—"

The half-stone figure rose up eerily like a snake, hovering above the dining table. Mo Han and his companions felt a chill run down their spines under its gaze. The stone figure opened its mouth, and suddenly, a row of sharp stone teeth emerged, lunging to bite at Mo Han's shoulder!

"Wait a minute!!!"

Can...

In that critical moment, Mo Han reacted swiftly and decisively!

As if he had been prepared, he went straight to Tieshan's side. He took the small knife from Tieshan's pocket and, pointing it at his chest, sliced ​​off another piece of his heart...

"Thump—"

Bloody, still steaming pieces of meat fell onto the table. Mo Han's expression was solemn and respectful: "Gentlemen! This junior has no pig's heart, but I can offer you a piece of my heart..."

"Gentlemen..."

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

Nobody listened to what Mo Han had to say.

The moment that precious piece of meat was placed on the table, countless faces protruding from the stone tablets immediately slumped onto the table and began chewing like mad dogs!

"Uh...okay! Okay, okay!"

"You're a very sensible young man..."

"Ugh... Ugh..."

The table shook violently amidst the sounds of chewing and swallowing.

Once that precious piece of flesh had been almost completely devoured, the faces of the stone figures were covered in blood and a mixture of pleasure and satisfaction.

"elder brother--"

"I'm hungry...I'm hungry..."

"Didn't you say... you were going to put food on my plate?"

"Could you please urge the kitchen to hurry up for me... please... please..."

The situation had barely calmed down when, in An Lan's arms, the child's face slowly turned, its dull and ferocious mouth opening wide as it suddenly looked at An Lan!

An Lan's lips twitched, and she was about to refuse firmly.

[10]...[5]...[0]!

That damn favorability rating plummeted again in an instant!!!
