    Following the clues, the gentleman went to the abandoned well in the back mountain. He lowered himself down the rope to the bottom of the well and pulled out several pale white hands from the mud. At the bottom of the well was a sealed pottery jar for suppressing the soul.

    "The Yin-Yang Traveler A-Yang" is a good book; everything is unexpected yet logical, and the framework is quite grand. From chapter sixteen onwards, the content noticeably improves! Highly recommended! As for "Ye Dayue's Collection of Folk Tales," well, it emphasizes the terrifying and focuses on horror, but why does the fourth volume suddenly jump to reality?

    Similar to the story of "The Ferryman," it helps people who don't want to be reincarnated fulfill their wishes, settle their past, and successfully reincarnate. The cases are adapted from real cases. PS: The underworld's pay is pretty good, 300,000 a year, after taxes, so you only get 300,000. [Laughs][laughs][laughs]
