While taking my bath and eating my breakfast, I still need to calm her down. Since this month is very dangerous for the pregnant mother like her.
I even told them that I'll teach them how to cultivate too, but for now, my brother will do that. As for the mother, I'm preventing her to do that for now as it's really dangerous for her, after all, there are more four bodies and connected to her body. Creating a crystal for Chakra energy is dangerous, as it will include the life force of the four twins too in her crystal, and that means, they will be killed.
But I can make her and the four sisters' bodies to be familiarized with the energies, and so I only made the Qi energy first to run in their whole bodies, same with my brother. After all, they can only communicate with the spirits that I summoned once they have the Qi energy.
And since we're running out of time, I postponed these things. Then went out with my brother again to go to school.
My brother and I reached school without talking to each other... He is still cautious of me. Only glancing every minute while we're walking. Tsk tsk tsk.
"It's good to be cautious while still a kid but don't overdo it, Kuya." I reminded him as we split to the school ground to line up with the respective section and grade.
Reaching the line for Section Three, I noticed Llyod coming towards me. "Hey, Glenn..."
"No need to say sorry."
"... Then..." He scratches his cheeks.
"Then?" I asked.
Then he grabs me on both shoulders and shakes me while asking me. "Can you join us again tomorrow at ghost hunting then? You arrived too much late this time, normally you will arrive while the dawn is still sleeping."
"Ugh, yeah yeah yeah, got it. I will tomorrow. Stop. Stop. I'm getting dizzy for what you're doing." I agreed while trying to stop him.
That he let go of me and laughed crazily in the middle of our line and shouted. "Hahaha! We got back the strongest boy in our section! We will smash those boys from Section Four tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" The other boys cheered but expectedly.
"Booooo! Scaredy cats!" The boys from Section Four heard them as we are literally lining up side by side.
"Seriously..." The only thing that I mumbled from this... *sigh
The flag ceremony was done in no time and we went to the first classroom.
I took my seat and flexed my arms for a bit, then slowly turns my head to the left side for where the Balete tree is, for where the said headless white lady lurking is... I willed my Qi to go to my eyes until I can see the spiritual world, where the spirits, ghosts, mythical creatures, and other supernatural beings reside in.
Every world has this spiritual world, but it's the most invisible in the worlds of the mortal. Because of the thin energy of the world itself or the techniques for these things to be seen were forgotten, that's why for these beings were called supernatural beings, and only a handful of people with Qi in their bodies can have contact with these beings.
Then I saw a pinkish mist around the tree almost turn into the red color... Hmmm... Seeing the hue of the mist, after one to two years that Miss headless white lady will evolve into a red lady and add another decade for the fastest time, she will evolve into a black lady...
This kind of ghost had three stages, the white lady/man is the harmless one but has the intention of appearing and disappearing in a blink of an eye asking for help. This ghost is mostly like a newborn baby but only knows that she/he needs help and doesn't know that she/he causing harm for the people that she/he wants to get help from while doing the appearing and disappearing act.
The second stage is the red lady/man, this is the vengeful ghost that after the ghost's mentality matured enough, it will seek revenge for her/his own justice from her/his injustice death if she/he didn't find a helper to help her/him after a decade and that's what happening at this headless white lady now. And mostly, this ghost has the rationality to turn hostile if she/he deemed, judged or determined the human or mortal near her/him is a bad one.
The last stage is the black lady/man, this ghost is the cruel or evil one if she/he didn't find the justice she/he wants in the said time range, then she/he will evolve into an irrational ghost that has the intention to hurt anybody that will enter her/his territory no matter if the human is good or bad one.
Now, knowing that there's a mist, but I can't see the ghost on the ground. I looked up just to see her sitting on one branch while hugging her two legs, there's already a red part on her white dress that soon will be devoured completely and will make her mature into the vengeful ghost...
I stared at her for a long time and saw her flinched then I sensed her attention was aimed at me. After a couple of seconds, she descended slowly and in no time she is standing on the ground facing me and the window rail is the only thing that in between us.
She raised her hand and reached me, asking for help but I only stared at her. I will wait for her to evolve into a vengeful ghost for her mentality first. It will be hard for me to communicate at her at this stage, but it doesn't mean that I will ignore her.
Even though she doesn't have her head, her sense is enough for her to know that I'll be her acquaintance. I smiled for her warmly that made her hand lower and acted as a shy girl and flew back to the branch but this time she hides from my sight... I shook my head for this thing... Unbelievable...
After the first class ends, I excused myself from the second class. "Ma'am, may I go out?"
"... Go, Make it fast."
"..." How should I make it fast? Rip my kidney out of my body and throw it at the toilet bowl? But of course, I know what she means.
I put down my bag on my seat and run away outside. But my objective this time is to go to the science building to check out that so-called great demon because I remembered that I only encountered the shadow from my very first life. So, I doubt that it is really a great demon that they're talking about... But a shadow spirit that born from the gossips and shits of the past students because of the seven wonders.
Normally, there's no such shadow spirit, but because of the gossips, this kind of spirit is born, we called this pseudo spirits. After all, a shadow is produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface, no? So this is not an elemental but a sham, but because of the gossips exists for a long time, it's considered faith from the humans' believes. And so, the pseudo spirits are born.
The main entrance on the first floor is locked and can't be entered. And so the only way to enter this building is on the second floor that was blocked by big and wide plywood. But I should do that in the evening because I might be caught by the teachers passing by and I'll be pulled to the guidance office.
But before I can completely leave this place, I got a glimpse of the shadow hiding behind the staircase inside. it not only one, but two, and I don't know if they're only two residing in this building or there are others upstairs.
And yes, I can do a quick scan in the whole school or this building only, but I might get some attention from the people that have Qi and a master or not a practitioner. And I don't want them to notice me that fast. Those rats that noticed me in the hospital are enough but I trust that Andrada - Salazar couple to seal their lips about me.
Back to this school, this is really a home of supernaturals, huh? I grinned and satisfied, this is worthy than I thought. Add that it's only two places not the whole seven places of the wonders of horrors yet... But still, a great demon will be a good one to be a gift for Sitan once he arrives here, and equally can be exchanged for Melchor's soul... How in the Maca I can exploit him again? After all that 'thing' that he wants from me is still a Cosmic Grade Supporting Item...
A supporting item is not that hard to find but the grade of it, in the whole time that I was sitting in the position of Bathala, thirteen pieces of supporting items in the Cosmic Grade were found. Don't mention the pieces of higher grade ones... And one of those thirteen is on my hands and this is my only supporting item that has the highest grade in my arsenal. Tsk.
And not only Sitan is chasing on this item. There are others too, and now that I'm retired. I can imagine how much their asses are burning now just to find me. Hahaha!
Even though I can't use it now, I can still exploit more things from him to my advantage.
Mentioning my retirement, I was still once a Bathala. They can't risk their lives to reincarnate with me with nothing in return. After all, we will reincarnate in the Samsara Realm, that's bad news for them even for me, my soul will be reset in exchange with their souls to reset too? Why not? Hahaha! My Faith power is too much plenty to send them to reincarnate for more than three times before they can kill me in this current state and even so if they decided to fight against me with numbers. Good luck to them! I didn't get the achievement of, the longest existence to sit in the position in one go without reincarnating, for nothing!
And I can think about what they're thinking. "It's not worth it." After all, we, old fools are all more scared of resetting our soul with nothing than being erased by the Realms.
So, the only way to get the supporting item from my hands is through trade. Hehehe!
Even though there are power levels, Faith power is still the deciding factor in the higher dimension. And no no no, getting a seat in a position of Active Gods and Deities is like finding a single golden needle with the size of the human palm in the whole universe.
And so, the only beings that can fight with me are the retired and the active gods and deities that have Faith powers. Those beings that didn't get a sit even in the lowest seat are just like sheep in our eyes, their seniors.
There are so many records of the new ones tried to steal from the retired ones but the only results were the new ones were sent to the Samsara Realm to reset their soul, or erased. Even though the new ones are stronger, it's really not worth it to exchange their lives with the single life of a retired senior.
And so, today, the only thing that they can do is trade with me. That's why I can relax this much and like this from other higher beings... But not from the soon to be foolish humans that will try to take advantage of me...
I went back to the classroom and waited for the class to end. And soon, I'm walking in the hall of the main central building with my whole class that is going to the next subject, while checking left and right with my Qi powered eyes. I didn't find the said wind of resentment but I saw the hand of the ghost on the deck floor holding the gate rails, but I can't go upstairs for now...
The soon to be the red lady is my candidate to be my ghost cultivator, but I need to make sure that there's no one aiming at these ghosts first or her specifically. So, I need to lie low for now... *Whistle
