Sang Que slept until three or four in the afternoon before getting up. After eating, she left the last Exorcism Talisman with her mom and took two Ghost Soldier Talismans with her to Xujiawan Village to find the temple guardian.
She originally planned to take a taxi, but recalling her previous taxi experiences, Sang Que decisively chose the crowded bus.
Of course, having many people also increased the risk of encountering evil. Before leaving, she purposely wore sunglasses and overhead headphones to cover her eyes and ears, hoping that those filthy things wouldn't realize she could see or hear them.
There weren't many people on the afternoon bus. Sang Que sat in an empty spot at the back, logging into various accounts on her new phone.
In the class group chat, Qin Lu's incident had made it to the trending news, and everyone was spamming candle emojis to mourn.
