Monday, the next day.
It happened to be the first day of March.
There were five days left until the Awakening of Insects, yet the weather had unexpectedly turned cold, in stark contrast to the warmth before the Ghost Festival, as if a large gathering of ghostly apparitions had really returned from the underworld at night to visit their descendants, bringing with them the chill of the netherworld.
Yesterday evening, Zheng Qing, who 'accidentally' passed by the door of San You Bookstore, neither heard the conversation between the Yellow Flowered Cat and Mister inside the window display nor saw the Vice Dean of Edge Academy whom he visited after leaving the Abnormal Life Research Institute to see Doctor Du Zemu, and after reminding Hank to remember to strike the tuning forks every day, he returned to school in a daze.
It wasn't until he received the Paper Crane from Greenhill Mansion that he remembered the Little White Cat left behind in the fox's den.
