Chapter 41: Paperman Makeup

"Outside the gate stands a ten-foot-tall wooden pole, the moment you hear the opera singing suddenly change and confirm that the Ghost is possessed, you must immediately raise the red lantern to notify the people by the lake to act—that's your task for tonight."

After the task was assigned, Kuang Hongyi bowed to the old man and turned to walk outside the courtyard, the old man reminded him one last time that once he left the courtyard gate, he should never look back.

"Rest assured, old sir," Kuang Hongyi replied loudly.

The old man turned stiffly to look at Yang Xiao and after a long moment, he began, "Young man, the task you have to do tonight is the most dangerous. You must sit among those lonely Ghosts and lost spirits attracted by the opera, timely replace the incense candles that have been burned, and the offerings eaten. If your identity is exposed, you'll have no grave to be buried in."
