The Divine Constabulary seems to have a ghost on its hands lately.
According to an informant who asked to remain anonymous, Informant Number One:
Their cold and heartless senior brother has recently been talking to thin air and even smiling tenderly from time to time.
It's downright terrifying.
Informant Number Two had this to say:
One time, after he'd had too much to drink, he passed by a small building and heard a sweet, gentle woman's voice. It scared him so badly that he didn't touch alcohol for two whole months.
Informant Number Three was silent for a long while before reaching a conclusion:
So, their senior brother has a female ghost for a companion?
Uh... Lin Ling would like to clarify:
She's just semi-transparent. She's not a ghost, and she wasn't deliberately eavesdropping.
At first, Lin Ling only wanted to play a game.
She never expected to end up staking her entire self on it.
At first, Wu Qing thought she was a ghost who couldn't be reincarnated and appeared at random times every day.
Later, he began to hope he would see her, wanting to touch her, hold her hand, and embrace her.
In the end, he finally realized that if she disappeared, then no matter how far he traveled across the world, he would never find her, not even in a lifetime.
"After all the love he's shown you, can you truly not see it?"
"I'm sorry. I'm going to have to keep you by my side."
1. This story was inspired by games I've played over the past few years. The idea has been with me for a long time: a lover separated from you by the boundary between reality and illusion, forever beyond your reach.
