We traveled for two hours before we arrived at the foot of the forest. When Sister Nancy and I traveled here, it only took us a quarter of an hour. We used an abandoned road that nobody used. It was faster and the shortest route. We don't need to be bothered with traffic signs or any blockage. But it was different for Jia. She can't penetrate walls or ride in a supercar that could penetrate anything. So we have to go in a humane way. The crowd of ghosts did not disperse but followed us. They did not believe my words. It was until we arrived at the foot of the mountain that the crowd of ghosts finally stopped moving. They looked up at the top of the mountain where they felt immense pressure and heaviness in their chest. Just staring at the place makes them dizzy. It was a very high grim reaper's spell indeed. "Is there really a grim reaper at the top?" They asked with pale faces. "It's the grim reaper's hideout. If you don't believe me, find it out yourself. But it would be too l
"Ehem!" I coughed to interrupt Sir Benjamin's monologue and his passionate speech about magic and such. If I let him continue, we might be stuck here the whole night without even having a proper conversation with Jia. Thankfully, my cough worked, and both of them glanced at me. I introduced Sir Benjamin in a very simple and direct manner. "Jia, this is the grim reaper I mentioned, Sir Benjamin." Then I faced Sir Benjamin and bowed politely, "I am sorry to suddenly show up unannounced. We came here with the hope that we could temporarily seek shelter for a night." The night was going deeper and coming outside with Jia, who was like a magnet of ghosts would be dangerous. "I know it's rude for me to suddenly decide it for myself without giving you a heads up nor giving something in return. But if there's anything I can offer you, I would be happy to. If Sir Benjamin would not like my visit today, you can chase us away. I won't be offended." Oh....I surprised myself. Who could have
****Sir Benjamin was known as an eccentric and talented one of his kind.In the grim reaper association, he was admired but at the same time was scorned. All the elders knows him and did not dare to have a power struggle with him. After all, Sir Benjamin doesn't compete with others in terms of harvesting more souls and demons.However, Sir Benjamin remained peerless. The others wondered how this man remained as reputable when they did not even witness him harvesting souls in public.With this in mind, many young grim repears who heard about his name were curious.How about they accompany him on missions and see the talent of this famous man in their own eyes?Thus, Sir Benjamin's house which was isolated from the world was visited by these young and curious grim reapers.But, when they saw him and spent time with him, the young grim reapers who were initially curious suddenly ran away from the mansion in a hurry.What mission? This eccentric man did not even hunt for a single soul in
Jia blinked her eyes."That's....brilliant!" She stood up to express her joy. She really loved my plan.I nodded my head with my chin held high."Of course. It is thought by me, the great Kelly."Jia licked her lips. "I was depressed earlier after losing my home. I thought my future would be bleak. But right now, I am happy. I did not know I could really gain income from my ability. I just need to write all this again, right?" Jia seemed motivated to work now.I nodded my head with a smile.Leaving home and deciding to accept her ability, Jia seemed much more carefree. To think the always frowning Jia was smiling and laughing with me.I let Jia immersed in her work.We would stay here for tonight and then depart for the hospital tomorrow. While Jia was busy working, I observed the tea table that was magnificently designed very well.The tea and cake were appetizing. I smelled the fresh mint of green tea. The cream from the cake has a milky scent that made me drool. Too bad though, I c
..Throughout the night, the female ghost did not speak. She just laid on her bed quietly. I am not even sure if she was sleeping. I also chose to remain quiet and to get some sleep. Since I was in a grim reaper's barrier I could get as much sleep as I want! Something I could not do since I am a ghost!So I indeed fell asleep.It would be perfect to finally sleep after a long time, but I was suddenly awakened by a presence in front of me. A presence I am very sensitive with.I felt there was a penetrating gaze on me. The biting cold and the familiar malicious aura made me woke up. This familiar sensation...!A demon!I opened my eyes and was met by a hideous face with red eyes.!!"Kyakk!" I was surprised that I slapped that face away from me.Because it was so sudden, I used a lot of force that I felt my hand sting a lot. But the face in front of me was only slightly tilted to the side.How come there was a demon here?! Was Sir Benjamin's barrier broken by a demon?!"Ou..ch." A hoar
A/n: This chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting. **** Jia's face turned solemn. Sir Benjamin's words have hidden meanings. "What are you suggesting?" Sir Benjamin maintained his smile. "I am not suggesting anything. I am just explaining how this doll works. This doll doesn't only contain entrapment. When a soul was entrapped in this rugged doll, it would be able to move as what the soul inside wanted. But its actions would be restricted as to how could the doll moves. " Jia looked back at the doll. She had no intention of trying it out on Kelly. "That soul inside that doll...why aren't you taking it out?" Sir Benjamin's smile became shallow. "The soul inside the doll has been there for a long time. The soul inside has forgotten that she was a soul with an identity and memories. Because she was entrapped for so long, she was slowly becoming the doll itself. There's no need for me to take out a damaged soul. She would disappear by herself." Sir Benjamin lightly tapped the glass c
The meal was truly luxurious. I stuffed myself like a hungry soul who hadn't fed anything for decades.Jia was also the same. If she was not a living being, I might have thought she was a hungry ghost who haven't eaten anything. Anyone who looked at her would pity her for only being able to eat at this moment.Hmph! She should not be too greedy about food. Unlike me, she could eat these anytime!On the other hand, the female ghost ate with graceful manners. She was even using the silverware accordingly!Her graceful eating made me momentarily stunned.Is this woman a nobility? Or a rich young lady?Anyway, I did not bother to give her too much attention since all my focus was on eating.This was a rare chance!After the meal, I sincerely gave my thanks to Sir Benjamin."Thank you Sir for your hospitality. "Sir Benjamin just waved his hand. "It's alright. You came here with gifts. Giving you a place to settle for a night and a little food is nothing."I just smiled awkwardly at his re
Jia and Ms. Lilian agreed to meet at Sir Benjamin's place tonight. After leaving Ms. Lilian at the train station, we went to the hospital.We used the same discreet way when I brought Jia here for the first time.Jia put the folder on the desk. She glanced at Lucas who was still gazing blankly at the air. "He is awake, right?""He is. But at the same time not.""What do you mean by that?""I think he is stuck between the world of the dead and the living. Lucas is...." I halted.Right, Jia doesn't know Lucas was half demonized."Not now. I can't fully explain it to you yet."Jia: "???"I can't fully tell Jia Lucas's condition. Not because I don't trust her. I let her in here because I trusted her. It was Sir Benjamin's bizarre abilities that I don't trust. What if he has spells to know what a person was thinking?"I already put the first folder together with the notes. I hope they can take the bait."I smiled assuringly, "Don't worry. The folders we sent them before have already been
