Mingyue was hiding in a remote small inn, half her face visible as she peeked out the window at the familiar faces passing by on the street below.
Earlier, when she and Caoyuan were in the underground parking garage, she had abruptly seen another face identical to hers in the gap between nearby cars, staring intently at her.
Without a second thought, she had turned and sprinted away. After running quite a distance and looking back, she saw that other version of her face conversing with Caoyuan.
"It's a ghost..." Mingyue's gaze remained on Chu Changge and the others on the street below. "The one who transformed into me is a ghost."
Mingyue's mind raced. If I run now, she thought, the ghost most likely won't chase me. It'll use my face to deceive Caoyuan directly. But if I shout a warning and we split up, the ghost will chase one of us randomly, and it might come after me.
