Laugh If You Want to Cry, There's No One Behind You

The road stretches farther and farther into the distance. The light slowly fades away. Don’t be surprised, and don’t panic. Maybe the thing following you isn’t human. Don’t be afraid. Summon your courage and slap it across the face to teach it a lesson.

No matter how scary a ghost is, can it be worse than being broke? I might die poor any second and turn into a vengeful ghost. Ha ha!

Passerby: "Lu Xingyuan, are you still doing your ritual? The patrol officer is right behind you!"

What the hell, Chen Ruosha, are you nuts? I’m just a street-corner swindler. Do you really have to keep an eye on me 24 hours a day?

Chen Ruosha: "As if I want to arrest you! Do you have some kind of grudge against me? You never show up when anyone else is patrolling, so why do you pop up every time I’m on patrol? Do you think I’m easy to bully just because I’ve let you off every time?"

No, of course not. It’s mainly because we grew up together. I’m practically your big brother, after all!

You say you can catch ghosts. So where are the ones you’ve caught?

Come on, sis, save me a little face. There are so many people here!

Pah! You think you have any face to save? You’re not getting any younger. So where’s the wife you married?

Isn’t that all about fate? Maybe fate hasn’t brought her along yet!
