    "Whether I'm ugly or not is none of your business!" The speaker was a long-haired female ghost. I carefully compared her from head to toe to one of the corpses on the ground. I wouldn't say they were 100% similar, but they were close. "The audience's eyes are discerning, and their evaluations are objective!" I said to her seriously. "If it's not us, the audience, who else can judge?!" "Me!" The voice came from behind us; it must have been a man. "Who are you?" I couldn't help but ask the voice. "Her man!" "Whose man?" I glanced at the woman whose arm the ghost woman was tightly gripping. "Our man!" The woman and the ghost answered in unison. "You can see him?" I asked the woman curiously. "I can't!" The woman shook her head. "But I can smell his scent!" "Scent... Scent?!" "The unique scent of a stinky man!" "Uncle, she said you smell!" I looked at the uncle with a mischievous grin. "Am I smelly?" The uncle pointed at the corpse on the ground. "But even if I smell bad, I'm not as smelly as that guy's body!" "A man who doesn't smell bad isn't a man!"
