Hungry Ghost Ritual Page #3

---

The doctor said you need to

walk around more to recover quickly

Got it

Jing Jing

How's your progress?

She's a fast learner

We can let her perform on the 14th day of

the 7th Lunar Calendar month

How is that possible?

It takes years of practice to be good on stage

You've just learned it for 2 or 3 days

You're barely scraping the surface

What more to pull off a great performance

Going on stage is not a joke

You'd be held responsible by the audience

I can do it, father

And I'd like to wear that

outfit that belonged to mother

For my performance

Can I?

I think we should let her try

Your mother's outfit? Why mention your mother?

Tell me

What has been happening within the troupe?

Out with it

I said I want to wear her outfit

Help me

"Never brand women as weaklings"

"Look at me"

"How I shine"

"I am a hero"

"Fear not even a thousand men"

"For one's courage soar with one's ability"

"Yet to meet a match in a hundred miles"

"The heroine of Shandong shall be revered"

"Moved not by riches but ambitions"

"Her name echoes in all corners of the land"

"With ambitions equally as vast"

"The lady warrior is the embodiment of war"

"Fearful of neither storms or waves"

Apply pressure here

You've dislocated your knee,

you're lucky it's still curable

I don't know what's wrong with you and your father

You hurt your knee, he's in the hospital

How is he now?

Should be fine

You still haven't answered me,

how did you get hurt?

It's the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar

if you're unlucky, it's easy for you to

bump into those filthy things

A minor case will involve small injuries

A major one will be major illnesses

You're in a field where the world is your home

You need to pay the idols and spirits due respect

Do you give offerings prior

to your rehearsals and performances?

Father did

That's different

You've taken over now

you need to show some respect too

Help me make the necessary arrangements, Jing Jing

Come

Hello

Is that Zong Hua?

Yes, who's there?

I'm Zhi Kwan's father

She committed suicide by

jumping off a building last week

Zhi Kwan is dead?

How is that possible?

Impossible

I just spoke to her on the phone last week

You caused my daughter's death

She left a note for you

Come pick it up yourself if you dare

Xiu Yin, just the person I want to see

Come and look at what I've managed to record

Xiu Yin

Run

Quick, run

Run

Quick, run

Don't come near

Why do you want to kill me?

Are you really Xiu Yin?

Chop chop, guys

Opening day is tomorrow, we're running out of time

Kwai

You again? What do you want?

I don't know how to put this to you

But I'd like to cancel tomorrow's performance

I don't know what you're up to

But the point is, the stage is ready

We've broken in to it, and we've done all

the offering to the idols

Canceling without any reason

is cheating

You'll put us in a lot of trouble if you do that

That's right

My ex-girlfriend in Mainland China

just committed suicide

I think she came back to haunt me

I can't help you with that

Funny, though

People are saying the spot that we got this year

An entire troupe was wiped out here

In a fire 40 years ago

Maybe our troubles are connected to this incident

Don't believe in all these rumors, Uncle Qun

Don't be so naive, come, let's continue working

Hey, make sure it's clean over there

if it's already time, come and get me

Please don't disturb my children

What's happening actually?

Zong Hua

Jing Jing

Father

Where are you?

Father

Zong Hua, are you alright?

Run, father

Run

- Run

- Quick

Kwai

Quick, run

Jing Jing

Father, don't

Father, don't go

Zong Hua

Run...

Leave my father alone, take me instead, all of you

40 years ago

An entire troupe was wiped out here in a fire

Maybe our troubles are connected to this incident

Zong Hua
