Arrival

Yi Bing stared at Huo Ling and saw Huo Ling's face became pale in horror. He could sense his fear. "Halt your thoughts." He told him. "Don't think too much. Control your emotions." He said. "Or you'll turn to a vile ghost if you'd enter your Mania." He told him.

Huo Ling was stunned and he felt he was doused by an ice-cold water after he heard Yi Bing's cold voice speaking in a hurried but gentle tone. He felt like he was drowning earlier, like what caused his death. However, Yi Bing pulled him out of the water. He saved him – which is ironic since he is dead.

"Yi Bing…" he called. His voice is shaking in fear again when he thought of the possibility Liu Lingling was taken – or worse, eaten, by the yao that erased their neighbors' memories of him. "If… if a yao has been here and erased my neighbor's memories…" he said as his lips quivered. His face became paler and his soul is trembling.
