Chapter 792 - 791: The Unpleasant Smell of Soybeans
The idea of the dead visiting dreams is a common tale among the folk, but many hold the belief that what you believe exists, and what you do not, does not. Even when burning joss paper for relatives, it’s done for the peace of mind.
Are ghosts real? Who can say for sure?
Even Khaza Zuck couldn’t clarify, although he exorcized spirits, and even though he was an extraordinary person, this was merely a technique inherited from his ancestors.
Yusuf Zuck asked him why Ariel Higgins had come to him in dreams twice in a row, but he couldn’t answer—because it was impossible to tell. If he told Yusuf Zuck that Ariel Higgins had become a ghost, then where was she?
If he said she had not become a ghost, but what if she really had become one? What then?
This matter really was one of belief making something exist or not.
Yusuf Zuck didn’t get a clear answer, but he didn’t give up. He sought out the great demon Blue Dragon, Elder Turtle, Six-fingered Ape, and others, asking them if ghosts existed in this world!
However, the response from Six-fingered Ape and the rest was unequivocal—there were no ghosts in this world, at least not in the Dragon Gate World.
Yusuf Zuck also found Gabriel and asked him if ghosts existed in this world.
Gabriel’s answer was that there are ghosts in the East and what are called evil spirits in the West, which also means ghosts. These evil spirits dwell in Hell, governed by Satan, and are at odds with Heaven, enemies of the Divine Sect, one righteous and one evil!
