"It is better if Sister Ana asks, you are more courageous than I am…" Star Yu was unwilling to submit.
"You coward! Fine, if I want something done, I'll just have to do it myself." Ana walked up to the apparition with her chest puffed up.
"Sister Ana, you are the best! So brave and caring…" Star Yu quickly praised Ana.
Ana walked over to greet the couple. "Hello! How are you?"
The couple ignored her as if she had not spoken, remaining interlocked in their own world and making out with one another. Even in daytime, they had no shame in French kissing each other and other activities that should be performed behind closed doors.
"Hey hey! This is a public space! Watch your actions! Tcsh! The well-fed don't understand how the starving suffer!" Ana lashed out at the lovey-dovey couple.
Yet the two still didn't react. They continued kissing each other intimately.
"Sister Ana, what are you shouting about?" Star Yu walked over since he was curious about the commotion.
"I only told them to pay attention to their surroundings! We are in public!" Ana shouted in reply to Star Yu.
"Oh, I meant what did you mean about your last sentence…" Star Yu chuckled connivingly. Since his starvation was something that couldn't be replenished by eating.
"Child! You know nothing!" Ana kicked Star Yu onto the road.
"Ouch!…" Star Yu retreated a distance away.
"Are you both dead? Did you not hear me ask you a question? Hey! Hey! HEY!" Ana getting impatient as she tried to kick the apparition. In the end, it was just her kicking the air. Seems like the lovey-dovey couple were similar to the young mother, they were both just phantoms of the instance, 'color flavor' NPCs.
"Please, excuse me, have you seen a four-year old child? She was last seen wearing a red jacket, with white embroidered short dress..." Star Yu attempted to communicate with the couple.
Star Yu was terrified of apparitions. Even though he tried not to show it, his legs were shaking inside his pants. No one knows what these apparitions were. The sudden appearance of the couple had startled Star Yu, and he was very uncomfortable being around them.
"A young girl in red jacket, white short dress? I seemed to have seen her…" The girlfriend pushed away from her boyfriend as she responded to Star Yu.
Ana looked at Star Yu in shock. She had been shouting at the couple, but it was useless. However, the moment Star Yu walked up, they connected just like that? Did the couple think less of Ana, was that why they didn't speak to her? That discrimination was infuriating!
"Well, can you tell me what direction she went in?" Star Yu asked the girlfriend.
"I'm thirsty right now. Go buy me a drink. If you do that for me, then I will tell you where she went!" the girlfriend giggled while replying Star Yu.
Hearing her answer, Ana had the impulse to rush up and kill them in their place, even if they were just apparitions. There was no way for her to damage them, so she could only viciously glare at them.
"Well, may I ask, where I can find the place to purchase the drinks?" Star Yu continued asking questions.
"There are pavilions that sell goods. Those pavilions sell a variety of drinks too! I want to drink black tea. It is my favorite drink. If you buy any other drink for me, I won't accept it," the girlfriend stated primly.
Star Yu glanced in the direction of the pavilion she was pointing at. The pavilions were striped down to their skeletons, with grass and vines growing rampant throughout them. Even the counters were covered with a mossy overgrowth.
Still, Star Yu walked into the pavilion to check the shelves and to see if there was anything worthy of taking for himself.
"HEY! Are you still ignoring me? Do you have a problem?" Ana burned with rage.
"Should we continue kissing? My pants are wet…" the girlfriend continued to flirt with her boyfriend as if Ana was nonexistent.
"Then next time, wear disposable diapers!" the boyfriend teased back.
"Oh? So they can be used like that?" the girlfriend was astonished.
"Yes, I'm a doctor. I'm the expert in this field of getting girls wet," the boyfriend admitted his lewdness.
"You really know a lot about this, and I'm inexperienced, so please be gentle" the girlfriend flushed with embarrassment as she mumbled the words.
"Stop acting! God, I can't keep watching this!" Ana covered her face. The next scene was too lewd for her to witness.
"Sister Ana! Stop idling around them. I'm searching for drinks! Beware to look around for any appearance of monsters!" Star Yu shouted from afar. He had to remind Ana since he was walking away from the couple, while Ana stayed behind.
"I KNOW!" Ana replied. Staying behind to eavesdrop on the couple's conversation was too lewd for her. She felt chills listening in on the perverted conversation. She wasn't going to stay and find out what happened next.
Star Yu continued his search. There were no drinks in the pavilion, it could've had been emptied out by the local survivors after the catastrophe.
Seems like this couple and the mother's quest were related… The problem was that if they couldn't find the black tea drink, they couldn't continue asking for information on Wan'er.
While wandering aimlessly in the pavilion, Star Yu heard a voice coming from behind the building, the sound of a man talking. Star Yu followed the voice back to its source, only to find a couple salespersons, a man and a woman, promoting their product... a drink. And they were both apparitions...
The male promoter was bald, he had a big smile on his face as he was conversing with the woman. The lady promoter wore a green suit while holding an umbrella, she looked like a reserved type of person.
"Selling drinks?" Star Yu rushed over to them.
"What do you want to drink?" the male promoter asked.
"I want a bottle of black tea. Do you sell that here?" Star Yu quickly asked the male promoter.
"I do have that!" the male promoter pulled out from a seemingly-empty box, like a bunny being pulled out of a magic hat, a bottle of black tea.
Star Yu tried to grab hold of the bottle, but he ended up grasping at air.
"Huawei is promoting these drinks for a discounted price since it is a holiday. It only costs 5 yuan per bottle," the male promoter continued talking.
"Oh so the promoted product costs 5 yuan a bottle?" Star Yu felt in his pocket for money. He has seen many currencies within [The Trembling World], but he never thought about picking it up and pocketing it. Who would've known that someone would still use currency to buy products?
"Sister Ana! Do you have any money?" Star Yu shouted to Ana.
"Money? What are you saying?" Ana shook her head. Obviously, she wouldn't have such useless item on her.
"I found the product that we need, but I need five yuan to buy it!" Star Yu rushed over to Ana. These NPC were quite troublesome. Why was it so hard to find the next clue? Where was the Lei Feng spirit, the selfless act of helping out others without asking for any benefit?
