CHAPTER 549: CHAPTER 287: YOU CALL THIS A GHOST?

The house was bustling with noise as more and more villagers gathered to watch.

With more villagers flocking over, it was destined to become a cold case.

Shami, who was on the roof, withdrew his gaze from the still rigid male villager, grabbed the black pen in his hand, and left this small village.

"Although it ended up having a scary effect in the end, it didn’t seem at all like they were frightened by a ghost... "

Shami muttered, as the twin-tailed ghost floated out from the black pen, looking at Shami with a small face scared of being scolded.

"Because I saw the photo of the male villager and his wife on the wall nearby, so in the end, I only thought of turning into that female villager... Am I very stupid, sorry..."

[Ding]

[Spiritual Energy +100]

[Ghost Wenli frightened a human to death for the first time, taking 0.01 seconds. The scared-to-death target was a human villager.]

[Ghost Wenli achieved the achievements ’First Glimpse of the Gate’ and ’One-hit Wonder.’]

[First Glimpse of the Gate: Wenli has initially glimpsed the path of being a ghost, understanding how to evoke human inner fear. In future scares, Wenli will pay more attention to clues in the environment, looking for favorable elements for scaring.]

[One-hit Wonder: Wenli has a 1% chance to scare someone to death instantly while frightening. ]

"How is it stupid? Well done, Wenli. That’s how the Ghost Race should be."

Seeing the rewards Wenli received after completing the task, Shami patted Wenli’s head contentedly.

Obviously, after obtaining spiritual energy, this twin-tailed ghost became more tangible.

Wenli’s hair was messed up by Shami’s patting, she peeked at Shami’s face and quickly lowered her blushing face.

The care from the Great Demon King set the little girl’s heart fluttering.

One person and one ghost returned to the Demon Realm Ghost Valley.

Just as Shami was about to leave, Wenli tugged on Shami’s sleeve.

"Um, Lord Shami, there’s a place you haven’t been to yet..."

"Hmm?"

Shami followed the twin-tailed steps into the forest at the border of Ghost Valley and Skull Graveyard.

"Here it is, Lord Shami..."

The twin tails led Shami into the forest one after the other, and Shami looked around, quickly noticing something unusual.

From time to time, some things that didn’t belong to nature appeared in this forest.

A straw hat hanging on the treetop, a chair half in the soil and half above, a mirror lying on the ground...

"Since when did nature start nurturing stuff like this? Did the game bug out?"

Shami quipped, picking up the mirror in front of him, and his face immediately appeared in it.

But astonishingly, as he stared into the mirror, the reflection slowly turned its face, and an eerie aura emerged.

Shami posed in a shot-put throw stance.

"Wait, Lord Shami, that’s the Mirror Ghost Miss..."

Wenli hurriedly stopped Shami’s hand ready to throw.

Meanwhile, the image in the mirror transformed into a begging female spirit.

"Please don’t break the mirror, dear! There’ll be nowhere for me to inhabit if you break it outdoors, dear!"

"There’s actually a third ghost?"

Shami looked at the mirror in surprise.

"Yes, yes. The protagonist of the widespread urban legend in the West of Fess Kingdom that ’your other self appears when looking into the mirror at 3 AM’, is this Mirror Ghost Miss Yu Zi. She was found by Miss Stacy."

Upon hearing this, Shami quickly apologized to the mirror in front of him.

"Sorry. Forgive my earlier rudeness. So you’re a ghost miss, welcome to the Demon Race, please enjoy your life here."

To show sincerity, Shami injected magic power into the mirror, raising its sturdiness to a [Premium] level.

"So there’s also a Mirror Ghost..."

Shami’s knowledge broadened.

Wenli floated in front of Shami and explained.

"Actually, most ghosts inhabit certain objects, staying on them while not showing themselves, to reduce spiritual energy consumption."

"Normally, wild ghosts would stay in outdoor graves, sharing coffins with the Skeleton Race or the Zombie Race, they sleep inside, while we inhabit the coffin."

"Ghosts that don’t inhabit, drifting around, would quickly dissipate into nature."

Wenli said slowly, continuing to add.

"But ghosts need spiritual energy to continue existing. The main way to acquire spiritual energy is by scaring living beings. In the wild, we can only gain energy by frightening all kinds of animals and occasionally passing humans. The spiritual energy gained this way is very little. The fear emotions animals can produce are nowhere near as high as those of highly intelligent humans. So, quite a few ghosts go to the Human World specifically to scare people and obtain high spiritual energy."

When venturing out, we can only inhabit all sorts of odd belongings in order to maintain our ghost state from dissipating into nature."

"Is that why Yu Zi, Wenli, and Stacy inhabit items commonly used by humans?"

Wenli nodded.

"Wenli can actually go to the Human World, that’s truly commendable courage."

Shami glanced at the socially anxious twin-tailed ghost, with a sigh.

"Not all ghosts can leave their graveyards... Only a very few ghosts have the ability to leave...Ghosts headed to the Human World have various reasons supporting them... My grandparents, mom, and dad were about to dissipate...Our whole family is buried in a small graveyard...I’m the only ghost that can leave, so I had to go to the human world alone and gather spiritual energy to bring back for them..."
