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
Although Jia was still scared, it could not be seen in her face or her body movements.I gave Jia a thumbs up. "Good job! Keep up the good work!"Jia became more firm. She was becoming courageous with my cheer.An hour later, Michael finally arrived at the scene."Where is she?" I heard his voice from outside the room. His voice was heavy and deep.Jia unconsciously swallowed. I went to her back and patted her, "Don't worry, I am here. I won't let them hurt you."Jia whispered, "What can you do? You are a ghost.""Ghosts have some uses too, you know."Although I can't block any incoming fist to Jia, I could still support her. If the worst thing happens, then I have no choice but to seek help from Sir Benjamin. Although I might pay a big price, that doesn't matter.Michael came in and saw Jia.His thick eyebrow moved, "This child is indeed young.""???" What does he mean by that?Michael took the chair in front of Jia. "I have heard the situation from my men. You are caught red-handed
The negotiation went well. Convincing Michael was not really easy, but they don't have a choice but to trust Jia.Even if they could not trust her, to get the second information that was necessary for their infiltration plan, they have to go along with Jia's whims.When Jia left, Michael and the team leader discussed in the room."Is it enough to give her a blank check?" The team leader asked.Jia and I could not come up with a proper price for the information. We did not expect to get caught in the act and deal with them so soon. To get out of the situation, I told Jia that we should use a blank check first.Thankfully, Michael did not care about how much money the information would cost them and generously gave Jia a blank check with his signature on the front.This made Jia and I shocked.Does it mean that no matter how much we wrote here they could give us the exact same amount?I was so skeptical about it so I stayed with Michael and his men in the room. Of course, the purpose wa
What kind of ghost would reject this offer? Either they give up in life or I am hiding something.Either way, they would be suspicious of me."I understand. That's truly a good offer. But...as I said, I am not yet prepared. What if the capital decided to keep me there for the sake of investigation? As you said, I am a valuable person who knows a lot in this case. They would surely burden me with a lot of work."I can't do it right now. Sir Reynold should know that I just died three months ago. I still have plenty of things and knots to be untied in my past. And I can't do that if I am in the capital. Thus, I could only go to the capital once I settled my personal business."My words were not lies. Although my personal business such as the investigation about my identity was still on hold, which reminds me of the folder about myself that I haven't read yet, Lucas and Sister Nancy's matter was personal for me too.And they are running out of time than me. Their matters are more urgent
