Chapter 1993 Fine, That Makes Sense

"Okay." Jacob nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He felt weird about the ostentatious ceremony, so he asked again, "I can understand the usage of the music and attires, but why firecrackers? As far as I remember, it's forbidden in Magma. Firstly, there is no such custom here. Secondly, your government reckons that it will pollute the environment."

"Oh, don't worry. It may be a big deal for others, but not for me. Don't you guys like to light up firecrackers whenever there's a delightful event? According to a friend of mine, who has been in China for several years, Chinese people will light them up crazily every time it's Chinese New Year."

"Not only does it symbolize joyousness, but it can drive the bad things away. You've just come out of the police station. I remember you believe that it's bad luck to go to such a place. Isn't this a good chance to expel those bad things that have been haunting you?" Peter said seriously.
