Subject: Telling a legit spooky scary tale that turns into a shit post
CW: Small reference of ghosts eating people

I was not aware that a special holiday known as Halloween was coming up! To celebrate, I figured I should tell you one spooky tale from my world.

Have you ever heard of a story called A Hungry Ghost? They are spirits that linger into our world should they have done any terrible crimes when they're alive. Due to their greed, whether it is money or for something else, they are never satisficed. What a pity as their poor souls could not move into the afterlife. They venture in search of food. Makes me wonder just how long it'll be before they go after people too...

Although, should you want more spooky tales from Liyue? Feel free to let me know as I do wish to tell people a little bit more about my world! Nothing like getting into a spooky mood, no?

[Hu Tao didn't say anything. If anything, she wouldn't go so far to say that the spirit was a monster. Just someone who wanted to see his friends one more time before he passed on. But she'll keep that to herself.]

Yes, he did! I was the one who helped him out and talk to them before he decided to pass on into the afterlife!

At least, I'm glad to know he could rest in peace.

[ Ereshkigal wouldn't call him a monster either, she was merely concluding Hu Tao's sentence. Though she has pretty strict ideas about people who do not pass into the beyond and remain in the world of the living... ]

I see.

For a mortal to fulfill the duties of the keeper of death is quite impressive.

You think so?

I like to think that I am merely doing my job as I do not want others to continue to keep living on in regret. That's all.

Even so, it is important to be praised for it.

Selfless though you may be... If praises are deserved, you should receive them and accept them.

I don't know about that! I still think you're giving me way too much credit.

I'm just a simple funeral director who just wants people to be at peace! ...And perhaps a little fun along the way too but it's nothing too grand as you make it seem.
