Chapter 88: Codename Sick Ghost
The mysterious lack of information and the sudden death of a ghost tamer on their first day in Huanggang Village had cast a dark cloud over everyone’s spirits. Ghost tamers perishing at the hands of reanimated vengeful ghosts wasn’t unheard of, quite common in fact. However, falling silently to an unidentified specter lurking in the shadows was a perturbing deviation from the norm.
Ignoring everything else, the sheer fact that He Sheng died without putting up a fight was evident enough that the scale of difficulty exceeded any ghost tamer present.
“Your analysis matches what Miles suggested earlier to me. He proposed that the vengeful ghosts in Huanggang Village weren’t aiming for humans, but our internal ghosts,” Zhang Han noted after a slight pause, sending the rest of the group into silence.
The members of the club may not believe Miles if such a theory was thrown out into the open, but Zhang Yiming was known to be a cautious and intelligent person within the club. Since he brought the idea forward, plus Zhang Han’s support, the idea naturally held sway.
Besides, facts spoke louder than words – He Sheng died, and his woman lived.
“Oh, so Miles said that too?” Zhang Yiming quirked a brow. “I remember everyone dismissing him as an unhinged madman, a simpleton. Perhaps I need to rethink my initial impressions.”
His theory was primarily drawn from He Sheng’s unfortunate demise, but Miles had beaten him to it without clues. Did this mean that Miles’s ability exceeded his own? Could such awareness emerge from a supposedly irrational child?
“He did say so, but we didn’t believe it before. Now that you’re echoing his theory, we can’t dismiss it anymore,” admitted Zhang Han.
On overhearing this, Miles, who was investigating the scene, retorted nonchalantly, “Maybe I should step away and let you adults continue talking. Earlier, someone tried to drag me into a shooting game, and it nearly scared the living daylights out of me.”
