Mitch sat cross-legged and floated in midair, saying, "Megan is just like you... she also came up to undergo the trial of tribulations."
Susie looked puzzled. She hadn't quite figured out what the trial of tribulations was, so how could her elder sister also have gone through it?
Mitch ruffled her soft hair and said, "But her identity is different from yours. She is the next Lethe witch."
"Isn't your mother drinking the Lethe witch soup like drinking plain water?" Susie asked, referring to the fact that her mother, Lethe witch, was constantly urging her to improve her skills.
Lethe witch had indeed worked hard, but she couldn't help occasionally encountering ghosts like Clara who were really immune to her Lethe witch soup.
They all said that her soup was watered down, and Lethe witch was so angry that she threw a tantrum.
In the end, after a long and arduous selection process, a new successor to Lethe witch was chosen.
"So, Megan came up to find the Lethe witch soup?" Susie suddenly realized.
Mitch nodded. "You could say that!"
Every time Susie called Megan "Sister Ba," Mitch felt very out of place.
When Susie was still Yama and Megan was still a candidate for the position of Lethe witch, the two of them had fought many times.
Every time Susie saw Megan, she would put her hands on her hips and say that Megan couldn't produce the last drop of tears.
She said that she shouldn't call Megan "Sister Ba," but should call her Megan, to remind herself all the time...
Susie didn't know what the previous trial of tribulations was like, so she blinked and asked, "Expert Patriarch, is it difficult to obtain the eighth drop of tears?"
Mitch sighed, "Very difficult."
Megan had already gone through three lives and still hadn't collected all eight tears. "Because the last tear requires Lethe witch's own sad tears, but Lethe witch is born unable to cry."
Susie remembered what Niki had said and asked eagerly, "Really can't cry? Niki said that Megan didn't even cry when she was born."
Wade, who was standing nearby, immediately vetoed her. "That's impossible.
Every baby cry when they're born. It's because they inhale air, and their vocal cords vibrate.
If they don't cry, it's definitely suffocating or not good."
Mitch nodded and said, "When Niki said, 'didn't cry,' she probably meant that Megan only wailed but didn't shed tears."
People always thought that babies cried when they were born, but in fact, it wasn't crying; it was just the vibration of their vocal cords. Real crying came later.
Since birth, Megan has never cried, not even once.
Susie looked at her sympathetically, thinking that crying was as essential as laughing, and not being able to do either meant losing happiness.
Wade asked if it was possible for someone to go through their entire life without crying.
Mitch, while absent-mindedly flipping through a book, listed off Megan's past lives, in the first, Megan died along with her beloved; in the second, all her beloved family members died in accidents; in the third, her closest friend betrayed her; in the fourth, she experienced the separation of life and death with her loved ones.
"Throughout her three lives, she has never shed a single tear," the book recorded.
Megan had been upset and yelled at the sky, but even when pushed to the brink, not a single tear would fall.
"In every life, they forget everything and go through reincarnation, just to force out that one tear of sadness."
Susie gasped, feeling terrible for Megan.
Wade suggested that they check her tear glands, insisting that something must be wrong with her eyes.
Mitch twitched the corner of his mouth, continuing to say that every time Megan returned to the underworld, she would remember the memories of her previous lives, becoming angry and full of negativity, refusing the care of others.
Every time, Yama would scold her, saying she was worthless.
He suddenly stopped speaking here.
Susie, who was still young and in the midst of her own reincarnation, did not know her true identity, nor did Martin Kellen and the others.
Even though they knew she could see ghosts and catch them, they did not know she was the King of Hell.
This identity was kept secret in the mortal world. Susie did not understand and pouted, "Yama is so mean!"
She decided that, from now on, she would not call Megan "worthless" anymore because of how pitiful she was. "What kind of rule is this?"
Susie shook her head like an adult. Mitch closed the book and said, "This is the rule that Lethe witch must experience generation after generation.
No one else can interfere." Susie stared off into the distance, lost in thought.
Would it count as her sad tears if she beat up Megan until she cried? That way, she could help her complete her reincarnation!
Susie's eyes lit up at the thought, but she decided to wait until Megan recovered from her injuries before punching her.
She was not doing it for herself, but rather to help Megan!
At this moment, in the hospital, Megan was lying on the bed when she suddenly sneezed. As it involved her wound, her face turned pale, and she bit her lip to endure the pain.
The doctor came over to change her dressing and found that her wound was bleeding. He quickly treated her while saying, "If your wound hurts, you should tell us, little one!"
This child was really troublesome.
When they first operated on her, stitched her up, and changed her dressing, they were always afraid that she would cry.
Some children cried so loudly that it affected their treatment, and occasionally they had to give them sedatives.
But Megan was different. She didn't cry during surgery, stitching, wound inspection, or dressing change... Even now, when her wound was bleeding, she didn't cry!
This made the doctors and nurses very worried. She didn't cry when she was in pain and didn't tell them when she was uncomfortable.
They were afraid that she might get infected and pass away quietly.
The doctor continued to nag and reminded her to speak up if she was in pain. Megan sneered, "What's there to say?"
After the doctor left, Megan looked at the wandering ghosts expressionlessly.
The ghosts smiled or suddenly hung upside down in front of her, but Megan remained unmoved, with an even more wooden expression.
When Niki came with a lunch box, she saw Megan's expression and said helplessly, "Megan, why don't you take a check-up while you're at it? Maybe you have facial paralysis."
"I have never seen you laugh, of course, I have never seen you cry.
I bet you have some problems." Niki put down the lunch box and looked at her, supporting her chin.
Megan said coldly, "Immature."
She picked up the lunch box herself and opened it forcefully.
The needle on the back of her hand made a hissing sound as fresh blood flowed out and quickly returned. Niki was shocked, "Oh my God, it's bleeding, it's bleeding!"
"Doctor..." Niki quickly ran out to call the doctor and nurses. Only Megan remained calm, eating her lunch.
The ghosts thought to themselves, "This is a ruthless person. We can't mess with her. Let's find someone else!"
Suddenly, an old voice echoed in the hospital corridor, "Ghost gate opens on the seventh month... Ghosts come out when the gate opens..."
"Sister, sister, please come and hug me. I feel uncomfortable in the closet. Sister, sister, are you asleep?"
Megan's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, she put down her lunch box, grabbed her IV stand, and leaned against the wall to go out.
As luck would have it, she ran into the doctor and nurses who were coming in.
When they saw that she had gotten out of bed, they were all frightened and quickly pressed her back onto the bed.
As Megan struggled, she glanced at the corridor and saw an old woman with a ruby-studded headscarf sitting in a chair, singing while patting a child's head...
