(Jack and Chen come through door excited to meet Jing)
Jack: Where is he?
Chen: I also don't know where he is?
Jack: Fine maybe-
(Jing comes into the room)
Jing: Hello guys I'm back.
Chen: Are you ok now.
Jing: Yeah, what about you guys?
Jack: Well, we found something.
Jing: Don't say that the situation is getting worse.
Chen: No we found the solution.
Jing: What, really!
Jack: Yeah.
Chen: But we still have to get few more things ready, then its done.
Jing: Well that's nice, but wait I'm feeling something is weird.
Jack: In the solution?
Jing: No in the room.
Chen: Ok, now that you mentioned even I am feeling this now.
Jack: Yeah, me too, I think we have to start the process of removing the ghosts.
Chen: But we don't have the shaman with us to do it.
Jing: I guess we have to do whatever we can.
Chen: Then quick let's start arranging.
(They bring the Ba-qua mirrors, sticky rice, candles and the images of Chung Kwei and La Zha and start to arrange them)
Jack: I think they have started to come here.
Chen: They will, plus they are more active, remember it is the ghost month now.
(Suddenly few candles got extinguished by the wind, they knew that the ghosts are coming)
Jing: They are coming faster than before.
Chen: I think we can't defeat them.
Jack: Why?
Chen: Well, we only have a few things how can be defeat them, plus we need a shaman with us.
Jing: Exactly.
(Slowly ghosts started appearing)
Chen: They are Yóu hún yě guǐ.
Jack: What does that mean?
Jing: They are the ghosts who died far from home, or whose family members who did not mourn for them.
Chen: Not just them, there are hungry ghosts, Diào sǐ guǐ and needle mouth ghosts.
Jing: and also foul mouth ghosts, can't you smell, uhhhh.
Jack: What do we do now?
Chen: Well, it seems that few ghosts are not here, I guess they went away after all those ceremonies.
Jing: Now I know why the people couldn't get rid of the ghosts, as soon as the old ghosts died, new ghosts started coming to this place, there is something attracting them here.
Jack: So now what do we do?
Jing: Well, lets see what happens after this.
