"Speaking of which, you might not believe me," the young taoist priest said, his eyes darting around as he glanced left and right before lowering his voice to add, "About half a year ago, he performed a soul-returning ritual for someone..."
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel Summers's head buzzed with activity and he found it hard to stand.
Half a year ago... wasn't that when Suzanne Saunders died?
Could it be...
His heart pounded furiously, daring not to think further.
"...but it failed," the young taoist priest said, "It is said that the person who asked him to perform the ritual is very powerful, and Mr. Ghost Hayes went into hiding to save his own life."
"It failed?" Nathaniel asked, somewhat beside himself. He didn't understand—Suzanne Saunders came back to life, didn't she? Why say the ritual failed?!
Could it be that Mr. Ghost Hayes did not perform the ritual for Suzanne Saunders?
