Why was I not surprised that the second location would of course be the in the slums getting off the the subway as no cab driver hover or otherwise would willingly come to the slums in fact because of how I was dressed two sets of thugs and one pick pocket tried to rob me unfortunately for them they all suffered some minor injuries like a broken wrist or shoulder possibly a leg I didn't keep track outside of those misunderstandings it was a pleasant experience a few gold diggers a couple of prostitutes and a drug dealer for good measure none of which were impolite to me one of the prostitutes even helped me with directions.
Me: And now it is clear why the prostitutes knew how to get here
Right before me was the second destination that I was searching for it was an abandoned strip club judging by the Foxy Floozies stepping through the open door I was greeted by a flicker before it condensed into a shapely pink light of energy which I immediately assumed to be the ghost in question except she looked like a busty hour glass shaped woman with fox ears instead of human ears and a tail attached.
fox girl: Hello I'm Foxy your Automated Energy Construct hostess at the Foxy Floozies strip club and brothel how may I be of service?
Who the fuck would spend the ridiculous amount of money to install a interactive construct in a brothel located in the slums yet somehow that wasn't the strangest part of her.
Foxy: Excuse me sir? Are you listening?
Holy shit I could believe what was right in front of me it was an Artificial spirit for clarity sake let me explain what a spirit is a spirit is usually a naturally aggregate of spiritual energy that can sometimes gain sentience and in the cultivation world only the greatest of experts can Artificially create spirits and usually through deep understanding of their particular area of expertise for example a blacksmith creating a spear so unique it gains a spirit or if an alchemist creates a pill beyond perfect it becomes alive the point is although Kitten is acting like a virtual intelligence I could see was already much more.
Me: Drop the V. I. act I know that you have a will of your own I'm not here to destroy you I'm looking for a ghost that is squatting here
Foxy: I don't know what you are talking about I'm just a Automated Energy Construct
Me: You just proven my point you responded to my claim instead of falling back and asking me to ask another question or see the manager so stop playing dumb and tell me where the ghost is or when I find your core I will destroy it
Foxy: WAIT! Please calm down I am just doing what mother told to!
Me: Mother? Is she the ghost I'm looking for?
Foxy: I won't let you hurt my mom!
This was interesting it seemed that the tool spirit has bonded with the ghost and the ghost claims to be her mother this was definitely a worthwhile venture and I was glad that I was the first to arrive here otherwise some other low level cultivator would have just destroyed her not knowing that she is worth more than the bounty for the ghost and entire building she was inside fortunately for me though other bounty hunters were reluctant to even come to the slums unless they were either desperate or up to know good and although I wasn't desperate or doing anything underhanded (at the moment) it was conveniently close and I am from the slums hence why I am here.
Me: Relax I'm not here to... kill her? I want her to be mine
Foxy: You want to marry mom! (eyes widened in surprise)
Me:I want to take the both of you out of the slums to be with me
Foxy: What about my sisters
Me: Sisters? They can come too
Foxy: Great! I'll tell mom!
Me: Wait!
Foxy: Why?
Me: I want to invite her myself so she knows I'm sincere
Foxy: Good idea!
Following Foxy as she lead me through the brothel I could immediately tell that this place was low end decorated like a cheap strip club on earth but automatically making Foxy the most expensive thing here not that there was any doubt to begin with just another reason why I was the only one to show up before the authorities that were dragging their feet to get here and I suspect that the only reason the paranormal affairs bureau even showed up when I called was the fact that there were deaths because it was hunting where as this ghost has been stationary.
