Do ghosts really exist? They do if you believe in them, and they don’t if you don’t. Huang Gai, a scholar researching the soul, still hasn’t figured it out, and he’s run out of time. He has terminal lung cancer and less than a month to live. Well, I’m going to die sooner or later, so I might as well solve this mystery myself! Down go two sleeping pills, and he kicks his legs out and shuts his eyes.
When Huang Gai wakes again, he stretches. “My lord, the baby kicked me again.”
