Chapter 100: Ghost Boy
Andy stood in a dark corner of the alley and watched Eva leave, only to move his arms and make a clicking sound when Eva disappeared.
"This woman is not simple, she looks good, although she was scared by me, but she behaved quite calmly......"
"She is a noble woman, it is impossible to have this quality, if it is trained by that Peter, I am afraid that this Peter is a character similar to Roger!"
Andy thought silently, feeling that things were getting more and more interesting, a heart of the ocean involved so many things, and there were many pirate ships from other seas rushing towards the Storm Sea, which made him look forward to it even more.
Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Andy didn't plan to wander outside, if he met a coward, he might be scared to death.
Just as Andy was about to leave, a faint blue flame suddenly lit up in his hollow eye sockets, and it jumped a few times.
Andy's empty body also erupted with a strong hunger pang, Andy's body let out a sound of bones rubbing, and his head involuntarily turned to the side.
With the help of the ghost fire, Andy clearly saw a transparent ghost floating out of the wooden barrel on the side.
The ghost was a little boy who stared at Andy, unaware that he had been discovered.
It wasn't until Andy walked up to him that the little boy showed a hint of fear and wanted to float behind.
His head had already burrowed into the wall, but by this time Andy had stretched out his pale palm, and a layer of black gas was attached to it, firmly gripping the little boy's leg.
Andy was still in contact with the ghost for the first time, and he felt very novel, and with a slight force, he pulled the little boy out of the wall.
The little boy struggled a few times, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he didn't dare to look at the ghost fire in Andy's eye sockets.
Unlike the witch souls that Andy sucked out before, the souls cannot be exposed to air, while the ghosts can attach themselves to anything and manifest at will in places where there is no sunlight.
And during the day, they hide in the shadow of humans.
However, ghosts are obtained by manipulating souls through black magic, and only some special souls can evolve into ghosts.
The most common are those souls who are full of resentment.
Andy looked at the little boy in his hand, and although Andy was holding him, he didn't feel any weight.
"Why did you follow me? Who told you to come?"
Andy's mouth opened and closed with an unpleasant grinding sound.
The ghost boy didn't react in the slightest, his head lowered, and he looked like a child in a daze.
Andy felt a desire to be born that was not in his body, urging him to swallow the ghost in one gulp.
Of course, it is impossible for him to eat now.
What he needed was to absorb the ghost's power with ghost fire, Andy didn't know what to expect, but his instinct, or rather the instinct of this skeleton's body, drove him.
Andy stretched out his other hand and lifted the little boy's head up, and when the little boy's dull gaze met Andy's ghostly fire, fear was revealed, and his body struggled involuntarily.
It was a trembling of the soul, an instinctive struggle.
The dark blue flame danced, transforming into a flaming spirit, evolving into a vortex that slowly swirled, and Andy's consciousness turned into chaos in an instant.
"Jack, don't run around, don't go to the front, you know?"
The woman who was busy with farm work wiped her sweat and shouted to the little boy in the manor not far away.
This is the manor of the aristocratic lord, she just came here to help with the work, but her own children are too young, so she has no way to bring the children.
I heard that the noble lord was going to meet a very important guest today, and forbade them, the maids, to run to the front and bump into the guests.
"Got it, Mommy~"
The little boy chased the butterfly, replied absentmindedly, and giggled.
The butterfly flew towards the outside of the manor, and the little boy stared at the butterfly, and chased it all the way out with a small pace.
The butterfly flew to the front and disappeared after a turn, and the little boy looked blankly and saw a kind grandfather not far away, and the butterfly was flashing its wings on his hand.
The little boy looked back blankly, he had already run some distance out of the manor, and he should go back, otherwise his mother would be in a hurry.
The little boy had only walked a few steps before he saw the old man walk up to him with a butterfly and hand it to him with a smile.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Jay...... Jack. ”
The boy looked at the butterfly and replied in a whisper.
"Jack, I'll give you this butterfly, and you'll give me something, okay?"
While the old man smiled and spoke, his eyes looked at the small flower in his hand, and the other hand made a few gestures in the air, and several black symbols disappeared into the air.
"Okay. ”
The boy looked at the butterfly handed by the old man, then at his own flowers, smiled like a crescent moon with his eyes, and stretched out his hand.
But when he took the butterfly, the whole person was suddenly dizzy, and then lost the ability to think.
The little boy saw himself come out of his body, put in a bottle by the old man, and then completely lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, Andy woke up, and the ghost fire in his eye socket beat a few times again, and returned to its original state.
Phillips ...... Witchcraft ...... of trading souls"
Andy looked at the little boy and shook his head slightly, the boy was deceived by Phillips because a butterfly gave his soul to Phillips.
The boy's soul doesn't remember what happened after that, and looking at the little boy's sluggish appearance now, it should be that Phillips forcibly refined his soul into a ghost, which caused irreversible damage to the boy's soul.
The boy's resentment is weak, and he is not suitable for transforming into a ghost.
And the resentful soul, Phillips was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it.
"What do you see?"
Andy thought for a moment and said to the boy that he was apparently sent by Phillips to spy on him.
Hearing the question, a little spirituality appeared in the boy's dull gaze, and a consciousness passed into Andy's mind.
It's all that happened after he left the Pirate League!
Andy was afraid for a while, if he hadn't discovered this ghost, he was afraid that his secret would have been known to Phillips.
"Forget it, your current state is worse than death, I'll help you. ”
Andy knew the cause and effect, and no longer suppressed his instincts, and the ghost fire violently released a suction force.
The boy's expression was a little distorted, he struggled, but slowly quieted down, and his expression became calm, even relieved.
A swirling black mist appeared in the boy's transparent body, stripped away and absorbed by the ghost fire.
It was the power that Phillips's witchcraft had retained, and it was this power that transformed the boy's soul into a ghost.
Andy felt a sense of relief from his bones, and the skeleton trembled, becoming whiter and even faintly shiny.
When the black fog disappears and Andy lets go of his hand, the boy's soul floats out, and he will float in the sea, following the ocean into the world of the dead.
