Hao Chen: Are you really sure?? really?

Jack: Yep, definitely  

Hao Chen: Then fine.

Jack: Now go fast we already risked Jing's life, we can't risk ours.

Hao Chen: Nope, I am going.

( Chen goes to talk with his grandparents and parents)

Note: This part is spoken in Chinese but is written in English cause it takes a long time to write, translate and then copy paste so I hope y'all understand.

Chen: Everyone I think we may have a solution to this problem.

Grandma: What is it?

Chen: We can do all the possible ceremonies can't we?

Everyone: What!!

Chen: Why can't we do that?

Grandpa: If only we could do it why did we have to wait for a stupid guy to say that.

Mom: Father relax.

Grandpa: AND HE BECAME THE CEO

Grandma: I know right

Chen: Grandpa

Grandma: What he said what is true.

Chen: Mom

Mom: Sorry but even I have to agree

Dad: Even me

Chen: I thought you would atleast stay with me

Dad: What is right, is right it can't be changed.

Chen: So is this a yes or a no?

Grandpa: Do whatever you want as long as it is with your own money.

Chen: Fine

(comes out of the room)

Jack: They really seem to be salty about that for sure.

Chen: Ya think

Jack: Ok, so it is a yes now right?

Chen: As long as it is with my own money.

Jack: So are we doing it??

Chen: We can but are you sure, cause there are many ghosts so exactly how many ceremonies should we do then??

Jack: Then lets leave the ceremonies and stuff and find out how many ghosts are there so that we can solve the problem with a proper plan rather than with a blind guess on something.

Chen: I like but don't say you're gonna go and ask the ghosts how many of them are in total or say that you're gonna go and like count them individually.

Jack: Not anything like that but we will go through all the scrolls and then find out all the information such as number of the ghosts in total and etc and list it out then we can see what they did and stuff later we ask a medium or an 'ask rice woman' to ask the ghost what they want and give to them.

Chen: By burning paper effigies so that they can leave the world

Jack: We can worship and satisfy them during the Ghost Festival.

Chen: But for that we have to wait for 10 days before it starts.

Jack: And within that time we can find all the necessary information within that time.

Chen: That's amazing lets start.

Jack: Wait there's more, we call in shamans to take care of the job or also use peachwood wands to remove from the house 

Chen: Why didn't you tell this before I got so much scoldings.

Jack: Sorry, did the research just now.
