[Gao Wu: I don't want to do this anymore]
That's the last message Gao Wu sent Jia Hao. Yao Shen reads it aloud to Xin Hulei, who frowns.
"Was it Jia Hao who lured him to the garden?"
Yao Shen stammers, trying to make sense of his own thoughts. "I- it's not like he could have killed him. He's a ghost, just a regular ghost, not a hungry ghost or any other corrupted form that could have caused harm to a human."
Xin Hulei stays silent for some time, his dark eyes narrowed. "What else does their conversation show?"
Yao Shen scrolls up, scanning all the back and forth texts quickly.
There's more than he anticipated, considering Gao Wu's initial reaction when Jia Hao started messaging him.
