Folklore speaks of a warning: if one is walking through desolate lands in the dead of night and hears their name being called from behind, they must never look back.
Under normal circumstances, a person would have a flame hovering over each shoulder and one atop their head.
When you turn your head, the flames on your shoulders would extinguish, and at that time, certain evil spirits could take advantage of the vulnerability and inflict harm.
Of course, some people are born with a dimmer flame, and thus, when they go out at night, they are more susceptible to attracting malevolent beings and encountering sinister events.
The veracity of these claims has long been lost to time.
In any event, Chen Hai himself, while in a state of soul departure, had never seen flames on anyone else!
Upon hearing his name being called, he didn't hesitate; he not only turned his head but also rushed straight towards the locust tree.
