jayfireHello hello~ and welcome back/welcome to this next instalment of our weekly Guardian readalong!
Previously, on Guardian:
This time, we're on chapters 7 and 8 of the official English translation, which correspond to chapters 12 to 14 in the most widely available fan-translation and the current Simplified Chinese version on JJWXC.
Chapter 7: Investigator Zhu Hong figures out part of what's going on with Li Qian; Zhao Yunlan finally reads the letter from "him"; and Shen Wei finds an innovative use for a chair
Chapter 8: Guo Changcheng is a police officer; everyone runs in a circle; and storage rooms are good for emergency team-building
Excerpts
( 1) We officially meet Zhu Hong )
( 2) Zhao Yunlan's perception of the Ghost Slayer/Soul-Executing Emissary )
( 3) Xiao Guo is, once again, more perceptive than most people realize )
( 4) Shen Wei's unfulfilled wish )
Questions:
What colour do you think Zhu Hong's snake tail is? (i think we might find out at some point later on but i can't remember so. what are you all picturing?) Why do you think Li Qian wouldn't tell Zhao Yunlan about using the sundial and sharing half her life with her grandma? How do you feel about the Ghost Slayer/Soul-Executing Emissary based on what we know about him so far? If you were up against a hungry ghost, would you choose the mop or the hospital chair?
