Translator's Note

Please note I’m trying to keep everything in English as much as possible. The literal translation for (鬼打墙): is Ghost hit the wall. It’s a type of barrier or spirit that causes someone to walk around in circles, or to be transported to another space so to trap them.

  1. Eiii Ah Lan~ you’re now unconsciously relying on Duan Li huehue.. I hope they get to each other soon along with that oracle.. is it possible for a stalker to be part of the team? Hehe I want stalker-san to be there with them (i forgot his name.. lol)

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  2. quote <i>“Going around in circles?”</i> /end quote

    personally, i think it’s better if you keep it as “hitting a ghost wall” since it’s a known term in Asian Horror Stories. several others translations of different novels also keep the term so it’s understandable.

    “Going around in circles” <— this sentence to me is too western and does not have supernatural connotation. just my personal thought though 🙂

    also, thanks for the chapter.

    • Hey! Thanks for commenting and sorry for the late reply.
      Yeah, indeed, I have thought of that too, but I think for now it’d be hard to change this because the other chapters behind are all translated this way and it’s hard to change everything now ;A;. (I have also thought of how other translators kept it… and honestly, I’m in a dilemma because I’m trying very much to keep it English-sounding as much as possible, but unfortunately, it sounds too westernized now qaq)
      Though, you do make a good point. I’ll keep in mind this when I translate other Asian horror tropes & concepts though!
      I really appreciate your comment and thank you so much for the constructive feedback <3 ! 🙂
  3. Thanks for chapters. I read upto this chapter since last night.. Quite absorbing.

    Though i have to say i find ah lan kinda annoying

  4. Don’t tell me that Ah Lan has stockholm syndrome, please. Duan Li is absolute trash, what kind of trust does Ah Lan have?! There is no excuse for Duan Li actions, he was conscious while killing, and he was conscious when he r**ed Ah Lan. Please, their relationship is so awful, please no…
