//introduction.

Exploring the Haunted Woods by yourself is never a good idea. You don't know why, but you didn't bring along any of your neopets today. You're a bit lost, so you stop and ask for directions from an innocent looking neopian.
´Excuse me...´
He doesn't seem to hear. You notice that he smells kind of... bad, so you hold your breath as you try and find someone else to ask. But there's no one else around, and you can't hold your breath any longer. You exhale, loudly. The neopian from before turns around. He hops towards you awkwardly, stiff, straight movements. Before you know it, you're cornered, back to a tree, and he's leaning over you.
´Um... Don't get too close... please...´
But before you can push him away, something zips in front of your eyes. The neopian falls to the ground, lying on their back, and on his forehead is a yellowed piece of paper. Chinese characters are scrawled on the paper in red.

You look around, but you see nothing. You move to lift the sheet off the person but-
´Don't touch that!´ A slight accented voice calls out.
A shadowed zafara leaps off a tree infront of you. Without hesitating, he lifts the immobile neopian onto his shoulders and walks off.
´Wait!´
He doesn't. He continues on without so much of a hesitation. You feel as though he owes you an explanation, and you follow him stealthily.
You see the zafara ring someone's doorbell, and hand the neopian to them. He leaves. You follow him, until he reaches a clearing in the woods, where he sits down under a tree and closes his eyes. You watch him from a bush.
´You can come out now,´ he says, without opening his eyes. ´You'd fail ninja school, just so you know.´
´Eh-I-Er. ...Sorry for spying on you?´
´Issalright...´ He mumbles, ´If you're that interested in me, my name is Jinhai. Call me Jin.´
´I'm guest... And if you don't mind me asking... HOW ARE YOU SO CALM AFTER KILLING SOMEONE?!´ You pause, and mull the situation over in your head, ´And... HOW DID YOU KILL THEM WITH PAPER?! AND-´
´Whoa. Chill. I didn't kill no one. He was already dead.´
What the heck is wrong with this zafara? That neopian was moving and all! ´...Explain.´ You demand, folding your arms over your chest.
´Ever heard of jiangshi? Or, as you call them, zombies?´
´Z-zombies?´
´Not your average western zombies. Jiangshi. They aren't just Chinese legends anymore. They'll absorb the qi, the life essence, out of people. You're just lucky I saved your butt, so I'd be more thankful if I were you.´
You stare at him, wide eyed. However, his chocolate brown eyes are still shut.
´That guy just then? He died last week. That's why he still looks so normal. If he had died a few months ago, then, then you wouldn't even accuse me of murdering him. Of course, I try to take care of them before they age so much.´
He spoke about it like it was no big deal at all. He kind of intrigued you.
´Do you mind... telling me more about yourself?´
´Uh... Sure...?´
