Chapter 240 The Ghost’s Request

According to the "common sense" that Shade heard from the coachman, the underground tombs are the most expensive, and among the above-ground cemeteries, the cemeteries under the trees are slightly more expensive than other locations. Being able to be buried under a tree represents noble character in literary works.

The chirping of cicadas filled my ears. Because the weather was a bit gloomy, the sunlight directly hitting the ground was very dim, and it seemed like it was going to rain. But even such a weak sunlight shining on the two souls makes them become lighter and lighter.

Just like the rumors in the stranger's hometown, the soul cannot be exposed to the sun for too long. Of course, evil spirits generated by relics or other powerful evil forces are highly resistant to sunlight.

The entrance to the underground tomb soon appeared in front of them. The group stopped and asked the tombkeeper following the crowd to open the door with a chain of keys. The funerary objects in the underground tomb are placed directly around the coffin, so be extra careful about nighttime visitors with malicious intentions. In addition to the vigilance of the tombkeepers themselves, the three-layer fence gate outside the underground tomb is also an important weapon to protect this place.

In addition to the fence gate here, all underground tombs have their own fence gates. However, not all of the mourners could follow. Only the relatives of the deceased were allowed to enter the tomb, and Shade was definitely not among them.

So his next job was to wait on the ground so that Mrs. Watson could settle the bill with him after returning to the ground. It was less than four o'clock now. Shade had a long time to visit Mr. Sparrow, and then returned to the city for dinner.

When I get home, Miss Anat and Miss Bayas will probably be at the door.

And while the tombkeeper opened the door, the two souls began to discuss again:

"Since we can't let her see us, let's try to control a living person and ask her opinion face to face."

suggested Mr. Mason.

"Can you do it?"

"I can only slightly influence a few living people."

"Me too."

This means that their strength is really pitifully weak.

"It's probably no problem for us to control a living person together. Although the time may only be a few minutes, it is enough to ask."

"No problem...but who should I choose?"

Mr. Watson asked, looking around with the other soul. Shade consciously took a step to the side, and Mr. Mason pointed at him.

"Just him."

Mr. Mason found Shad who happened to be moving. Then Mr. Watson looked at Shad and agreed:

"I noticed that he didn't talk much. Such an introverted person should be easy to control... Speaking of which, which friend's child is this to see me off? Why haven't I seen him?"

[What are your thoughts now? 】

she asked, laughing in Shade's ear.

Shade raised his hand and scratched the skin behind his ears, and glanced at the two souls standing in the shadow under the nearby tree again:

"Are there any traces of relics? Or traces of thaumaturgy."

【No. 】

"Then it's not my misfortune, it's their misfortune."

The tombkeeper opened the door to the underground tomb, and a cold and rotten smell immediately rushed out. Mrs. Watson's sobs became louder. She suppressed her grief and thanked everyone for coming to say goodbye to Mr. Watson. She chatted with Shade for a few words, thanked him for making a special trip, and then followed the coffin. Go underground.

People were standing in the cemetery waiting. Shade left the crowd on the pretext of going back to the church to borrow a bathroom. He originally thought that when the two souls saw him leaving, they would change partners, but he didn't expect that they would pursue him with all their heart.

"Look, he's far away from the crowd. Let's catch up."

Shade wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he slowed down a little after getting away from the crowd. After confirming that people in the distance couldn't see here, he clenched his fists and counted down three to two in his heart. He turned around suddenly, aimed at the ghosts following behind him, and punched each of them in the face.

"Oh~ how rude."

"Oh~ how can you touch us?"

The ghost's tone finally rose and fell, and they looked at Shade in surprise. This is of course the effect of [Soul Echo]. Any attack made by Shade's body can have an effect on the soul.

The two ghosts wanted to run away, but Shade's right hand had already lit up with silver light. He was not that kind of vicious person, but he was very vicious in the eyes of the ghosts at this moment:

"If you want to dissipate immediately, just run."

The fingers pointed forward. The silver moonlight was very weak, but it made them tremble as if they had encountered a natural enemy:

"Sir, it's whatever you say. Oh, we are so unlucky that we will meet the wizard in the story after death."

Mr. Mason complained quietly.

"No, I am not a wizard, I am a magician. Also, don't step back, otherwise I will let you know the consequences. It is obvious that you want to attack me, so I should be the unlucky one."

Shade said waving the silver light in his hand.

"Look, you unlucky guy, why did you choose this person?"

Mr. Mason complained dissatisfiedly to Mr. Watson who was standing aside. The latter wanted to apologize, but suddenly figured it out. He pointed at Mr. Mason and said:

"Wait, you obviously chose him!"

"Shut your mouths, I'll only say it once!"

Shade stopped the two souls from complaining to each other.

Because they were just ordinary people during their lifetime and were not even complete souls in their current state, Mr. Watson and Mr. Mason were completely unable to understand what was happening. They just succumbed to their instinctive fear.

"I ask, you answer."

Shade pretended to be vicious and said:

"First of all, why are you here?"

"I don't know, it suddenly appeared."

This was Mr. Mason's answer.

"I don't know. I can't leave my body after death. Something is binding me."

This was Mr Watson's answer.

Shade frowned:

"Then when will you leave?"

"I don't know. When I should leave, I will leave."

This is their common answer.

"Finally, please stay away from my employer, Mrs. Watson. It's also good for her. It's best for living people not to have too much contact with dead people."

"But......"

The two ghosts did not agree immediately this time. Even if Shade let some light appear on his fingers, they did not agree immediately:

"As long as our questions are answered, we will never harass anyone again."

"Ask Mrs. Watson if she has really forgotten what happened that night?"

"Yes."

They nodded, and their cute expressions made Shade, who was innocently being targeted by ghosts, want to punch them again.

But there is no need to be angry with these two souls. He thought for a moment and looked at the two souls looking at him expectantly:

"Okay, wait until I give you the answer, but don't contact any ordinary people."

"Thank you, sir."

He sighed and looked at the crowd standing and waiting in the distance.

The reason why he agreed so easily was not because Xia De wanted to help kindly, but because he was also very curious about the truth. Besides, there was no danger involved in this matter, he was just doing it to have some fun for himself. Before the battle, I felt depressed, and I got angry after talking to the two ghosts, but my mood improved inexplicably.
