[Complete]
An Ran saw a ghost.
The good news: Her family was in that line of work.
The bad news: Old Man An, who didn't believe in ghosts at all but was good at dealing with them, was nowhere to be reached.
.
At first, she thought she'd just had a run of bad luck.
Seeing a ghost was the kind of thing that was more than enough once in a lifetime.
But after a corpse appeared by the small lake behind the hill and her best friend went missing, increasingly bizarre events began happening one after another:
A girl forgotten inside a mirror,
A village called "Filial Children Village" despite having no elderly residents,
A group of four whose faces would turn into strange cat faces in the dead of night,
A bus that didn't exist, wandering near the school,
Beautiful bone flowers that bloomed only in the mouths of the dead,
And a tree wrapped around a heart, a cellar that had never been in her home before, and the thing worshipped inside it...
.
"Do you have a wish?"
That was the first thing the thing said to An Ran.
If time could turn back...
She knew
she would still make that wish without hesitation.
.
Ever since she was old enough to understand the world, An Ran had only two people by her side.
One was Old Man An, who spent several months of every year missing.
The other was her older brother, An Ning, who had raised her.
She thought she must have been pretty lucky to grow up safe and sound.
But later, she understood:
Luck
was nothing more than something the people who loved her fought desperately to secure for her...

In fact, I don't quite understand it. She has experienced this kind of thing and met her friend. If she doesn't ask the old man to help solve it, what can she do on her own? She should have realized that she was not facing a human being, right?
"Even now, An Ran still feels..." This is a big bug for the author~
