Jin Jiuchi could not figure out why Nian looked so horrified, nor did he understand what the jade doll meant by 'difficulty'. But in the spirit of camaraderie, he still let out a gasp and opened his eyes wide in shock. "That's horrible!"
Nian rolled his eyes at him, having seen through his dramatic guise again. However, he could not deny how Jin Jiuchi's silly acts managed to soothe his fear despite the looming horror staring at them from above. Such a strange man Jin Jiuchi was. Clearly, he had never taken anything seriously – except for breakfast, lunch and dinner time, of course – but it was exactly for that reason that he could offer a sense of security for others. It was as if nothing could be bizarre or terrifying enough in his eyes.
Who was he, exactly?
