"No, no, I didn't mean it that way..."

"Then what do you mean!"

Faced with the woman's anger, the man looked distressed, but the more anxious he became, the less he knew how to explain. He couldn't exactly say that he wasn't worried about his girlfriend being attracted to that man, but rather worried about himself being attracted to him, could he? That's just ridiculous to admit.

Meanwhile —

"That's all, the unsold goods from before, but they're packaged well and still pretty new..."

"Alright, thank you."

Gu Mo interrupted the old man's words, quickly scanned the area, found the payment option, and, after confirming, left the market directly with that bag of Yellow Paper, not wanting to linger. Especially since people were flocking from all directions, he certainly didn't want to stay.

He left the old man somewhat puzzled, looking at the machine that issued the payment notification, muttering to himself:

"I haven't even said how much it is, yet this young man somehow knew..."

Meanwhile, at a fruit stall two booths away, a pair of young guys and girls were arguing louder and louder, seemingly becoming the center of the already noisy, bustling market.

Spectators flocked over, drawn in by the commotion.

Seeing this scene made the man's face turn a bit green, and he stammered and struggled to soothe his girlfriend's emotions, thinking about leaving this place as soon as possible and avoiding becoming a public spectacle.

...

After wandering around to a drugstore to buy cinnabar and finding a stationery shop to get a few brushes, Gu Mo was ready to head back home.

He got on a bus and found a seat in the last row corner, lowering his head as if he were about to fall asleep, trying to use the seat in front to conceal his figure and reduce his presence... The whole journey was uneventful, and nothing happened.

Since it wasn't a holiday and not during rush hour, the bus wasn't crowded, and no one came to sit in the back row.

It was supposed to be a ride all the way to the neighborhood nearby, but midway he heard a stop name, hesitated for a moment, then decisively got up and got off... The bus stop was in front of a large hospital, which he'd been to before but was not visiting this time for a follow-up.

The old man's words earlier had somewhat caught Gu Mo's attention. Since he now happened to pass by, he naturally thought of checking it out.

Whether there's anything supernatural or peculiar in the real world needs slow confirmation, but he can initially observe some basic situations now... To see if there are ghosts, to observe how souls behave after death, and a hospital is where one can easily encounter these aspects first.

In the past, he didn't have Spiritual Vision nor anything special, so visiting a hospital didn't confirm these things, but now it's different. He only needs to take a look.

Gu Mo tried to avoid attention and walked through the hospital's entrance.

Soon after, a pair of young guys and girls came outside, the same couple who were arguing loud at the market earlier. Although they didn't seem to be arguing now, the atmosphere between them remained somewhat tense.

"This is the place... My mom accidentally fell the day before yesterday, and the doctor said she hurt her bone. It's natural at her age..."

Chen Xinda looked at the hospital ahead and said with a bitter smile, "They said it'd be best for her to stay a few more days, but my mom wouldn't listen and insisted on being discharged. So, I'm thinking of bringing you along to convince her; she'd consider your opinion..."

"Don't worry, leave this to me regarding Auntie's matter..." The girl's expression still wasn't great, but she understood the priorities involved with the guy's parent immediately and agreed, glanced around: "Wait here a moment, I'll go touch-up my makeup in the restroom, we can't let her know we were just having a disagreement!"

"Alright, alright, hurry then, hurry..."

The man nodded agreeably, watched his girlfriend go towards the restroom with her small bag, then he sat down on the bench beside, sighing deeply.

This is all so bewildering, truly peculiar...

He reflected on what happened before, feeling awfully unsettled. Why did he have those random thoughts at the time? Was it possible that he really was... No, certainly not, it must have been just the hot weather muddling his mind.

As he touched the area of his heart, the surge of inexplicable palpitation seemed to have calmed, so Chen Xinda felt relieved and scanned the hurried pedestrians in the corridor, his gaze briefly resting on those men before him without feeling anything unusual.

Then, just as he started feeling at ease somewhat, his gaze suddenly froze.
