Wu Ji has no house, no car, and no savings. After her claw machine business went bust, she had no choice but to scrape by at a slaughterhouse, relying on her family's traditional pig-slaughtering skills.
One night, on her way home from the night shift, a middle-aged woman suddenly came running over, eyes shining. "Miss! I can tell you're exceptionally gifted, a natural at ghost hunting! Want me to teach you how to hunt ghosts?!"
Wu Ji: Is this really happening out of nowhere? ...Wait, what do you mean, ghost hunting? Have you looked at the time? You're the one who looks like a ghost!
The woman felt Wu Ji's right hand and nodded. "Look at that evil aura reaching for the heavens. Tsk, tsk, you must be the kind of ghost that cats and dogs can't stand. Tsk, tsk..."
Wu Ji: ...Are you even making sense?

At long last, the three-month, one-on-one ghost-hunting boot camp came to an end. Just as Wu Ji thought she could finally sleep to her heart's content, Xiao Zhang released a ghost covered in blood and gore.
Xiao Zhang adjusted her glasses and said, "The little ghosts you've seen so far were just appetizers. Today, I'm going to teach you that there's always someone stronger, and a higher heaven beyond the heavens."
She looked at the evil ghost grinning viciously at Wu Ji, then turned and walked away without a second glance. "Try to hold out for five minutes."
Before she could even open the door, she heard something burst apart.
Wu Ji: "Sorry, it's really hard not to strike back for five minutes... But what did you mean by 'there's always someone stronger, and a higher heaven beyond the heavens'?"
Miss Xiao watched, wide-eyed, as the hideous ghost from a moment ago was killed with a single slash by Wu Ji.
What the heck?! Who do you think you're looking down on?! That was a huge ghost! Where did my huge ghost go? Get up! I said get up!

"Xiao Wu, our company is very legitimate. We do business across all three realms. Our whole business is about setting things right and treating both humans and ghosts fairly. By the way, what do you think about adding a livestreaming business?"
Wu Ji: I have to hand it to you, finding such a shabby little shack in the CBD... Wait, boss, what are you talking about? What three realms? And what's this livestreaming thing? What kind of ghost is that? No, wait, are you literally livestreaming ghosts?
Six months later
Wu Ji looked at the Wuchang ghost messenger playing with a claw machine, then at Qian Lai, who was packing up the filming equipment and couldn't see a thing.
Heh. I'm numb to it all.
