She suffered from depression and anorexia before it was 'treated' by Ghost Stories Society, then suffered from s new mental illness where the symptom included cooking all of her favourite things.

## History

Lychee worked as a DJ for a late night radio show called Ghost Talk. When she had just arrived at the station, she had been very afraid. A girl had to tell ghost stories in the middle of the night and then leave the silent building to go back home. For the high pay, she had forced herself to continue, but after some time, perhaps because she had gotten used to the terror or she had reached the threshold for fear, she no longer felt as scared. However, as she lost the sensation for fear, her mind and heart started to morph into something abnormal. She would also be on the air every Wednesday to talk about cooking and food.

Her time slot was between midnight and 2 am, so she would return home late every night. As a DJ, Lychee started off her stories gently, like she was knitting a net to pull in her listeners. When they were dragged in, she would yank on the net all of a sudden to make all the scare points explode.

Before Lychee joined the Ghost Stories Society, she was initially diagnosed with depression and anorexia by Doctor Gao, suffering from both biological and mental pressure from being mocked by her 'best friend' since she was young. The solution created by the society was to: "make a special appetiser for the patient — the ingredient shall be her 'best friend'." Following the treatment, Lychee no longer had anorexia and was recovering from depression. However, it was suspected that she was now suffering from a new mental illness, and the symptom included cooking all of her favourite things. The treatment method to be considered was to suggest absorbing her into the society as a new member to start the second level of treatment. It is presumed that No. 5 was the one who introduced Lychee to Ghost Stories Society.

Late at night on the same Wednesday as Chen Ge's first encounter with Ghost Stories Society, Lychee was hosting Ghost Talk, telling five ghost stories about a famous street in Jiujiang, Huai Hua Street. She used herself as a model and employed a curious method to explain the various changes happening around her. It was not particularly scary, but the extreme details gave the listeners chills. Lychee planned to turn the ghost stories into a whole series until next Tuesday. Lychee described the weird things that had happened to her inside the recording studio. In the story, she appeared as the weak victim, looking for the culprit who had ruined her life, but in reality, she was the real killer.

Meanwhile, because the studio Lychee was inside was soundproof, she didn't hear Chen Ge sneak into the office. Lychee finished all the ghost stories at 2 am. She turned off all the equipment and sat in the chair. There was a creepy expression on her face that was different from normal. She seemed to have gotten too attached to the ghost stories and had a hard time coming out. She went into the restroom anxiously and took out a lipstick from her purse to redo her make-up when her phone rang with a call from an unknown number. As she walked to the door of the recording studio, the unknown caller informed her that No. 5 was dead and that he needed Lychee to come to Fang Hwa Apartments’ 24th floor now.

Lychee agreed but just as she took half a step outside the studio, she saw the head of a scary hammer flying at her. She did not even have the chance to scream before she was knocked back into the studio. The pain registered several seconds later, and a shrill scream exited the recording studio. Chen Ge picked up Lychee's phone to compare the voices he heard at the Ghost Stories Society. Placing Lychee’s phone on the table, Chen Ge stood guard at the door as he called Captain Yan. Captain Yan’s team mobilized faster than Western Jiujiang’s police team. They arrived in less than ten minutes. Chen Ge put away his hammer, suggested that the police examine Lychee’s home, and then told them about how she had killed her ex-husband. Lychee was taken away by the police for investigation.
