It was four weeks later that Belle thought of taking another main mission. Liz had taken charge of his finances so he didn't spend money on useless things and it lasted much longer this time. But by the end of the month, his money situation was getting tight again. Luckily, the timer on the Ghost Capsule weapon had run out, which meant that he could summon Cam for the next mission. Belle noticed that Cam didn't show up in the Ghost Index, but he guessed it was due to the nature of the Ghost Index being to summon ghosts with points and Cam was already a summonable ghost. He glanced over the next main mission, Oaksfield Mental Asylum.
[A mental asylum that closed down many years ago due to its inhumane practices, the place is a popular spot for ghost hunting with many trying to capture evidence of spirits there. There are many spirits rumored to haunt the place but the two most famous are Doctor Lawly and a patient named John. The ghost hunting eventually stopped after people reported how dangerous the structural stability of the asylum was, would you like to accept this mission?]
[Yes] [No]
Belle clicked [Yes] and was met with the familiar message of allowing access. He started making plans, searching up the asylum and getting into contact with Leslie, who had fortunately remembered to give Belle his number.
"Hey, do you want to go investigate this haunted asylum with me?" Belle asks.
"Will I get paid this time?" Leslie shoots back.
"Yeah."
"Okay, just tell me when."
"Will do." Belle ends the short conversation. He also wanted to take a look at his points, he had gotten a lot from the past streams and thought it was time to upgrade some stuff. He had 125 Ghost Points to use on different weapons and stuff in the store. The first thing he did was upgrade the axe again. It cost 50 Ghost Points, pretty expensive, but he was sure the upgrade would be useful. The Uncommon Axe quickly turned into the Rare Axe after a bit of fanfare. The description was even more menacing than before.
[This Rare Axe inspires intense fear in both humans and ghosts, they know if they get hit by such a thing, the damage won't be small. Has the upgraded ability of every 1/5 times to send whoever gets struck by the axe into a 'crazed' state that will make their attacks more predictable and limit their abilities, but make their attacks stronger.]
The next thing Belle upgraded was the Ghost Capsule, the description didn't give away much, but it seemed the time between using it got shorter, from a month to only three weeks. The only other noticeable change in the description is that it seems Cam got some memories back. Belle would have to ask him what he remembered when he brought Cam out again. With only 25 points left Belle decided to use the rest of his points and buy an upgrade for the Butcher's Cleaver and buy a spirit box. The upgrade of the Butcher's Cleaver gave it the ability to harm ghosts just like the axe at first. With all the upgrades and buying complete, Belle only had to wait for access to the asylum.
The call came two days later, he was sitting on the couch and watching television, Liz was at work, and his phone started ringing. He didn't recognize the number but answered anyway.
"Hello?" He questions.
"Ah, hello, I was wondering if you would like to take part in a special haunted tour of Oaksfield Mental Asylum?" The voice on the other end asks.
"I don't mind, but can I ask a few questions first?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"I'm a streamer and I usually film haunted locations, is it alright if I stream this location?" Belle asked.
"That should be fine. This tour group is a new project we started to get some funding to repair the building more. We would love to have more traffic, " the person answers.
"Okay, also, I have an assistant, can he come with me?"
"That is also fine, as people always say, the more the merrier!" The voice exclaims. They talk about a few more details before she hangs up the phone. The time is set for tomorrow at 5, the tour will go pretty much all night and there are a few other participants. Belle calls Leslie to let him know, and he agrees right away.
The next day Belle meets Leslie where the tour group will eventually meet, they're at a little guard house in front of the asylum, the building locked away behind a fence and a gate.
"Yikes, this place is seriously bad news," Belle says, staring up at the asylum and the miasma that is flooding out of it.
"I can't believe I agreed to do this with you again," Leslie whines.
"It'll be fun, plus we have a few other people with us so it should be fun."
"Whatever you say."
The two wait around for a few minutes before another car pulls up and a lady with her brown hair up in a bun and wearing a formal suit top and pencil skirt steps out.
"Ah, I didn't expect anyone to be here already, I'm the director of this haunted tour group, my name is Carly nice to meet you." She introduces herself, holding out her hand.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Belle and this is my assistant Leslie," Belle says, shaking her hand. They have an idle conversation until the next person arrives. He's a large, muscular man. Someone who probably works out at the gym a lot. He introduced himself as Ben, he was pretty nice and told them about his hobbies as they waited. The next person to show up is a blonde woman with a scowl on her face, she looks as though she was forced to be here instead of coming willingly. She introduced herself as Shay and told them she was only here to disprove ghosts existing. The last person showed up a bit after Shay, it was a young man with black hair in a small ponytail at his neck. Something about him seemed off to Belle, but the boy was amicable enough and introduced himself as Glenn.
"Now that everyone is here, we can finally start the tour, welcome to Oaksfield Mental Asylum!"
