Chapter 392: A Little Ghost Acting Alone

It's a dilapidated storage room with lots of miscellaneous items.

When you step inside, the first thing you see is a female statue without a head. The statue is dressed in an exotic dress with a chest guard and armor decorated with serpentine trim and human heads. The statue's arms are bare, and the plump, toned figure of a woman can be seen through the thin dress.

The barrel at the foot of the statue is filled with several sheathed weapons, each of which is dirty, but the color of the scabbard can be roughly distinguished. There are three long knives held together, with red, white, and black scabbards, while the long sword resting on one side has a dark blue scabbard with gold inlays.

In addition to this, there is a chessboard with cracks and blood stains in the storage room, on which is a long, dried catfish with a wide open mouth and a rat-trap hidden in its belly. Next to the dried catfish is a metal coffee grinder, the original handle of the grinder seems to have been missing, replaced by an elbow hand bone of unknown creature.

The only finger that stretched out from the bone's bones pointed to a bust covered in cobwebs, a richly dressed aristocratic young man, his expression was a little shy, but he tried to raise his head to make a haughty look, and in the lower left corner of the portrait there was a line of small words written in the lingua franca, "Happy thirteenth birthday to you, love your ......", and the rest of the words were blocked by a dark red spider lying on it.

The portrait leans against a dusty coat rack with few items of clothing, except for a flipped fox-fur scarf and a full set of purple leather armor pierced through the chest.

On the wall behind the leather armor, there is a somewhat special ornament. It was a small silver tombstone with some numbers engraved on it that represented the date.

When you leaned over to take a closer look at the ornament, a translucent ghost with a pale cyan body suddenly emerged from the tombstone.

......

"Whew, it's good to be out again!" Eve floated in the air of the storeroom, cautiously looking around, but didn't find anything unusual. Then she habitually floated to the door of the storage room, looking cautiously at it.

Outside the storage room was a bedroom with three beds, and inside lay three sleeping winged devils. Seeing the devils sleeping made the little ghost feel a lot more relaxed, and then she floated out of the wall on the side of the bedroom, as she had done the previous times.

In fact, this is not the first time that the little ghost has come out of the 'Land of Eternal Sleep' during this time. Ever since she had been separated from her big uncle, fallen into the hands of the three devils, and hung in the pantry, the little ghost had been able to move around like this for two or three hours a day.

In the storage room, there is a dark black crystal ball with a shattered surface, which will continue to exude a faint amount of negative energy. Although those negative energies are not thick and cannot be compared to the dark realm at all, they are slowly collected every day, which is enough to support the little ghost's short-term free movement.

This is a skill she learned in the Dark Realm, using the 'Eternal Sleeping' to slowly absorb the negative energy in the air around her. However, such a collection would have a slight effect on the wearer of the 'Resting Place', the Big Uncle, so the Little Wraith never used it before.

Her eldest uncle was captured by the three devils in the bedroom, and the little ghost had "seen" the whole process in the tombstone before. The three bad guys knocked the injured big uncle unconscious, stripped him of his equipment, and sold him to a prison.

Eve wanted to save the big man, but she couldn't get too far from the 'Land of Eternal Sleep'. And she wasn't familiar with the strange environment she was in, and she didn't know where the prison for her big uncle was, so the little ghost needed more information. And she's working in that direction now.

On the other side of the Three Devils' Bedroom is a narrow alley where a group of special kinds of ghosts haunt it. These ghosts can also be counted as the inhabitants of the Iron City, and they are collectively known by a special name, known as the 'Self-Aware Fallen', and some refer to them as the 'Ghosts of Dis'.

The 'self-aware degenerate' is the transformation of the fallen soul. In order to be called one of them, the fallen soul must enter a state of self-realization, in which they will repent of the sins they have committed in their lifetime, but this will not give them any liberation or salvation, because it is already too late.

Repentance only allows these souls to re-experience the feelings of the victims of the sins they have committed. Fallen souls will thus transform into a special kind of ghosts, and begin to cry and mourn incessantly until the end of time and self-destruction.

This heart-wrenching crying and grief generates a considerable amount of evil energy, which is why the ghosts can exist in the Iron City. And the huge metal scepter at the top of the central palace of Diss City will collect all the energy produced by the ghosts.

At this time, there is one such ghost in front of the little ghost. The ghost wore a lady's velvet dress and wept mournfully with a handkerchief.

"I really shouldn't have put poison in Feige's soup, I shouldn't! He was so small, smaller than you. Eve, do you know how Feige feels after being poisoned?" the ghost asked sadly, "His abdomen hurt like a knife, and he wanted to call 'Mommy,' but the pain made him lose the strength to breathe. Even though I was his mother, I knew it wasn't me who he was trying to shout about......"

"It's so sad, Aunt Maggie. The little ghost nodded in agreement, "By the way, I haven't finished asking last time, how far is the prison you talked about from here, and is there any way for the prisoners inside to get out?"

"Feige is a good boy, very sensible, but a little afraid of me, he will stay away every time he sees me, but it is all my fault, Eve, you know what, it is all my fault!"

"Well, Aunt Maggie, you've repented of this several times, let's talk about something else, I think it will make you feel better. The little ghost floated next to the noble lady's ghost and wiped the tears from the ghost's face with her little hands, "For example, the prison called 'Chocolate', can you tell me a little more about the situation inside?"

"I didn't really want to do that, but I was pregnant, Eve, and I was pregnant!" the lady mourned to herself, "Feige is my husband's eldest son, and he will inherit the title and family business in the future, and my child will grow up to fight on his own." He'll even be an adventurer!"

The ghost cried even more bitterly, "Eve, I don't want my child to be an adventurer, it's too dangerous. He would even lose his life at a young age. I was scared that day would come, that fear clouded my mind, and I just wanted my children to have a better life in the future. But I really shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't! I shouldn't have added some poison to my husband's soup when he suspected me......"

Well, why is it so hard to know a little bit of information? I have to listen to it for a long time before they inadvertently reveal a little bit about it, and if this continues, when will I meet the big uncle?

The little ghost pouted in frustration, and after the little nose twitched twice, he cried with the ghost.
