After resolving the Quintero family issue, Scarlett Jennings and the crew didn’t leave immediately.
Before leaving, Scarlett had to give an explanation to the elderly woman she’d summoned unexpectedly.
Even though she told the Quintero couple that the elderly lady would watch over the child, it was really just a form of "intimidation" towards the couple.
In fact, the old ghost already in the queue cannot easily return to the Mortal Realm.
Most ghosts can only return during the Ghost Gate opening in mid-July, and the elderly lady was already staying beyond her designated time.
"The Underworld has strict reincarnation rules. You swapped your chance to reincarnate for your daughter’s well-being. That must have cost you a lot, right?"
With the staff and the Quintero couple gone, the previously eerie elderly lady now smiled lovingly at Scarlett.
She didn’t speak, but the staff member from Spiritual Affairs did, saying,
"The elderly lady had enough merit on her own and originally had a chance to become a formal Ghost Messenger."
But for her daughter’s sake, she spent all her merit and ghost power. Forget about becoming a Ghost Messenger again, she couldn’t even reincarnate into a good life.
The elderly lady, however, didn’t feel regret. Instead, she said,
"Those scoundrels may not be good people, but he inherited all our business and wealth. At least the child can grow up in a prosperous environment and eventually reclaim the assets taken by that man—that’s enough."
A child’s upbringing may not involve lots of love, but it should at least come with lots of money.
The elderly lady had thought things through.
Scarlett looked at her, contemplated for a moment, took out her phone to send a message, and shortly after said to the elderly lady,
"You’ll be in line for reincarnation for decades anyway. During this time, you can accumulate merit again. I’ve spoken with Ivan; you can enter Spirit Headquarters as a Ghost Cultivator. Although you won’t get an Underworld position, with effort, you can obtain a formal position in Spiritual Affairs."
More importantly, once employed at Spiritual Affairs, she won’t face restrictions moving between the Underworld and Mortal Realm, nor will she need special applications.
She can watch over the child frequently as they grow up again.
Upon hearing this, the elderly lady’s eyes brightened. Although she’s experienced both in life and the afterlife, she’s adept at embracing new ideas and willing to work to accumulate merit.
Upon hearing Scarlett’s words, she thanked her repeatedly.
Scarlett then straightforwardly let the Spiritual Affairs staff take her back to process her employment registration.
After sending off the two ghosts completely, Scarlett returned to the first floor.
The crew had already communicated with Mr. Quintero regarding the follow-ups, while Sebastian’s group returned to their rooms to pack.
Their next help requests will be in a new setting.
According to the first season’s live streaming format, the upcoming connections are fan perks.
Director Clark had planned two days and nights for the Quintero case, but considering Scarlett’s efficiency, he was prepared to wrap up the case sooner.
So, once the crew moved to a nearby villa, they began the live audience interaction.
This segment was highly anticipated by viewers.
[Since Director Clark’s announcement until today, I haven’t washed my hands for a week—trying to keep my luck intact to snag today’s call-in opportunity. Don’t compete with me!]
[Ha! I haven’t washed my hair all week, have I mentioned?]
[Do you all misunderstand how to keep your luck intact?]
[Though I don’t get mysticism, your fortunes seem a bit murky...]
The barrage was lively and screen-filling, and soon William and Amber began the random connection mode.
To ensure each guest gets a chance to shine, there are six opportunities in the live call-ins, guaranteeing each guest gets their moment.
Of course, depending on the difficulty of the random questions, each guest has an opportunity for external help, which can be from an onsite guest or a non-onsite friend.
