Ryan: "..."
The beheaded female ghost: "..."
For a moment, somehow, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.
This was unexpected for Ryan.
And he really hated himself for understanding things so quickly.
Because he seemed to have had a similar strange experience at the home of the blood-clothed woman.
Ryan put away his revolver.
He gave her a casual glance.
"How long have you been in this business?"
The beheaded female ghost opened her mouth dully and said, "The first time..."
Click—
Finally, because her head had been twisted too far, it broke off with a bit still attached and rolled to Ryan's feet, looking up at him pitifully.
Ryan stared with dead fish eyes, picked up her head, faced it towards himself, and shook his head, saying,
"Why don't you learn something good? Why did you have to learn from others to do this kind of business?"
"To be honest, I'm not really an unreasonable person. If you hadn't suddenly turned your head around to scare me just now, I wouldn't have hit you."
The beheaded female ghost sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, boohoo."
This person doesn't seem to be a normal human!
She thought of that human teenager who also came to ask for directions a few days ago. That should be the normal behavior of a human being!
Just a little scare and he ran away in a panic. How cute!
Why was there such a big difference between people?
Boohoo.
Ryan calmly stretched out his hand, pulled her body up, then adjusted the position and put her head back on her neck.
He twisted it with a click.
And pressed it firmly back in place.
Ryan patted her on the shoulder, closed his eyes and said, "No need for compensation. It's obvious that you don't have much experience. It wouldn't be good if you bit someone. Just remember not to scare people casually in the future."
With that,
Ryan stretched out his hand, took out a business card from his bosom, and handed it to her.
The beheaded female ghost stared blankly and said, "What's this..."
Ryan closed his eyes and said, "This is my business card. If you ever want to have plastic surgery in the future, you can go to Bloodsaw's Pharmacy in the neighboring Wandering Soul Lane to make an appointment with me."
"Besides being ugly, I think your spine is a bit loose and your head falls off so easily. If you have time, I can sew it up for you right now."
Ding—
Ryan took out a needle, and a dazzling light flashed on the tip of the needle.
He had a serious expression and didn't seem to be joking.
[The beheaded female ghost's San value - 10]
"No... no need!"
The beheaded female ghost pressed her head, took two steps back in fear and shrinking, covered the palm print on her face, and cried,
"I'll sew it up by myself when I have time!"
"Also, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were also a creature in this world! I definitely won't dare to scare people next time. I swear. Please let me go, boohoo."
How annoying.
Really annoying!
Ryan looked at her with relief and nodded, saying, "A ghost who can correct mistakes when realizing them is a good ghost. You must do more good deeds in the future, do some proper business, and don't casually do that to people. Do you understand?"
The beheaded female ghost sobbed and said, "I understand, boohoo."
[Ding! You have influenced a confused female ghost. You have obtained 50 basic experience points and +1 happiness.]
Watching the beheaded female ghost quickly hug her head and trot into the black fog on the street while sobbing, Ryan felt extremely relieved and became cheerful.
That's right.
Sometimes, the creatures in the dark world were actually quite cute.
As long as you influenced them a little, they were still quite willing to reason with you.
Ryan took out the map in his bosom again, carefully identified the directions, and walked along the street like an innocent teenager, carrying the lamp.
...
On the street where black fog was rising.
Screech—
Screech—
Under the dim streetlights on the street, two tall and slender figures with their heads hanging down stood straight like two pine trees.
The two figures seemed to be standing side by side, but if you looked carefully, you could find that their bodies were actually joined together side by side, like the Chinese character "从 (cong)", giving people an inexplicably strange feeling.
Screech—
Screech—
The sound of the saw cutting through flesh and blood rang out, which was especially creepy in the darkness.
But at this moment, they both felt that something was wrong.
Because they always felt that.
It seemed that something in the darkness had been watching them for over ten minutes.
There was a chilling feeling in their hearts.
"Brother, do you feel it?"
"Brother, I feel it."
The two slender figures simultaneously raised their necks with a click and turned around blankly, looking into the darkness behind them.
And with this look, they noticed something was wrong.
In the dark street behind them, under the next damaged streetlight, there was a human teenager sitting there, with a small bench under his buttocks and a dim Soul Lamp hanging on the streetlight pole.
The intense feeling of being watched obviously came from here.
Under the dim Soul Lamp, the teenager sat motionless on the small bench with his chin propped up, looking straight in their direction, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling.
"Brother, I'm a little scared."
"Brother, I'm a little scared too."
"He seems to have been watching us for a long time."
"He's been watching us for over ten minutes."
The eerie silence spread without restraint.
The two slender figures stared blankly and straight at the teenager under the distant streetlight, and then continued to slowly pull the flesh at their joint with the saw.
Then gradually.
They both felt a bit creepy.
Because in the past, it was always them who stared straight at the passing creatures like this, and those creatures would quickly leave in fear.
But this time, it was the first time for them to feel this kind of terrifying feeling of being watched mysteriously.
He shouldn't be human, right?
He shouldn't be alive, right?
What was he looking at?
And the more they looked at his eyes, the more they felt something was wrong, the more they felt it was strange.
And this feeling was the first time they had felt since they died and fell into this world. They felt uncomfortable and creepy for the first time.
[The Twin Ghosts' San value - 5]
They opened their eyes wide, their bodies became stiff, and the saw cutting the flesh also involuntarily became slow and stiff.
So on this dark street.
The Twin Ghosts just stared at the teenager sitting on the bench under the streetlight from a distance across the night.
Strange.
Terrifying.
Uncomfortable.
Their hearts slowly rose to their throats, their bodies tensed up, their backs felt cold, and they were extremely nervous.
And just at this moment, suddenly, the Soul Lamp lit under the streetlight went out, and the distance immediately fell into darkness.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
Out?
Out!
Was that "human" still sitting there?
Or was he ready to launch an attack on them?
He gave people a very bad feeling. He definitely wasn't human because humans could never do such strange things.
Where did he go? Could it be that he was...
In an instant.
They both turned their heads as fast as they could to look behind them.
