Cleaning Gravestones

Opening his mouth, Di Tou wanted to respond but found that he had no words. Staring at Mu Di Bai, Di Tou felt an array of complicated emotions and couldn't help but turn around to stare into the darkness. Those spirits… had once been hundreds or thousands of ordinary people? Good people too, who had been willing to help out other folks in the wide universe? And yet in the end they had ended up like… this.

Walking over, Di Tou motioned as if he was going to go touch one, or at the very least take a closer look when Mu Di Bai stopped him. "Don't. No matter what they were once upon a time, now that they're deceased, they're gone. These spirits aren't harmful, but they aren't healthy either. If you feel sorry for them, the best thing you can do is put them to an eternal rest."

"Ah?" Feeling shocked at these words, Di Tou stared into the darkness for a long time before finally asking, "Why don't you put them to rest then?"
