Owen feigned ignorance: “No, you must be hearing things.”
“Owen Bertram!” Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow waved and called out again.
Blair: “Seriously, there’s a beautiful girl calling you.
You don’t need to worry about ; I can handle this myself.”
Owen continued to ignore them and supported Blair, sliding several feet away.
From the Horizon Bureau Token on Owen’s waist ca Vanessa’s slightly annoyed voice: “I can see you, hurry up and co over here.
I have important official business for you!”
Owen could no longer pretend and finally let go of Blair.
Blair breathed a sigh of relief, gathered all his strength, and dashed away like the wind.
Owen: “???”
He turned towards Vanessa, his whole body slumped, already anticipating what he was about to experience.
Vanessa started to complain: “Why didn’t you listen to ?
I called you for so long, and you were avoiding …
Huh?
Pfft, hahaha…”
Vanessa saw the bald Owen and laughed uncontrollably, clutching her stomach.
She already knew the answer without him explaining it.
Owen felt annoyed and glared at her: “Alright, a couple of laughs will do.
What’s the matter?”
Right as Vanessa opened her mouth, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.
Owen’s veins bulged on his forehead: “Enough is enough.”
Vanessa finally suppressed her laughter, glanced at Owen, and quickly looked down at her toes.
Unfortunately, with her body shape, she couldn’t even see her own toes.
“I can’t help it; I can’t look at you — you can’t bla for this; whoever sees you like this can’t hold it in, hehehehe…”
Owen turned around: “If you don’t say anything, I’m leaving.”
“Wait, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.” Vanessa finally stopped laughing: “Recently, the Horizon Bureau has received many reports about people in the nearby villages disappearing.
It’s been conjectured that a ghost is causing the trouble.
You should investigate in the village first.”
“If it’s a ghost influenced by the village’s evil energy, it might beco a disaster once it gathers enough power.”
Owen complained: “You guys always want to work without giving any rewards.
What about the Spirit Jade you promised last ti?
Why haven’t you given it to yet?”
Vanessa blushed: “Spirit Jade is precious, and it can’t be approved so quickly.
Don’t worry, the Horizon Bureau won’t renege on its promise.
I’ve been urging them.”
Owen felt that her explanation sounded like a story he was told in his previous life when a leader made empty promises to an employee.
Vanessa continued: “If the ghost gathers enough power, your village will be the first to suffer.
You should take this seriously.”
“I understand.” Owen agreed with a single response, turned around and started walking away.
Vanessa called out from behind: “Okay, okay, as a compensation, from now on, I’ll treat you to breakfast every morning.
Is that okay?”
Owen’s eyes lit up: “Really?”
Vanessa thought of Owen’s appetite and felt a pang of pain, but clenched her teeth and said: “Really.”
“Great!”
Owen wasn’t worried about not being able to complete the task, as the ghosts in question were most likely from King of Souls’ group.
He had already taken care of them.
However, this matter made Owen reconsider the Ghost Zone.
It couldn’t be ignored.
Thinking back, the original ghosts in the Ghost Zone had a blood-red soul color!
In addition to the sins they committed outside the village recently, they must have swallowed countless living people before.
As for those who hadn’t eaten people, it wasn’t because they didn’t want to, but most of them were like Butcher Maxwell, having too low a status in the Ghost Zone to even have the opportunity.
If he continued to ignore this, the ghosts might follow in their predecessors’ footsteps and eat people again.
As he arrived at the doorstep of his house, the Horizon Bureau Token rang.
Vanessa’s concerned voice ca through: “Did you encounter a problem with your cultivation, and that’s why you ended up like this?”
Owen concealed the truth: “It’s not a big issue.
I was just trying to manipulate a certain Spiritual Fla and made a small mistake.”
He laid the groundwork now, so that if his Artificer identity were to be exposed later, he’d have an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Vanessa took the matter seriously: “Don’t practice blindly.
Do you want to beco an Artificer?
A slight mistake in this path can lead to playing with fire and burning oneself – both literally and figuratively.”
Owen remained silent for a mont, then said: “I want to try and see if I can use Spiritual Fla to expel the Cold Poison from my sister and the other villagers.”
“Huh?” Vanessa was surprised and felt sowhat moved in secret.
After a while, she said: “Don’t worry for now, I’ll find a way to get you a basic Artificer manual in the next few days.”
For the first ti, Owen felt a little guilty about lying to Vanessa and confusing her.
He hesitated for a mont, and suddenly a huge force sent him flying on the spot.
He landed flat on his back, and the Token flew out of his hand.
“Hahaha!” Verna gloated, hands on her hips, laughing loudly, very reminiscent of an emoji from Owen’s previous life.
Seeing her brother talking while walking back ho today, Tabitha suddenly beca smart.
She silently snuck up on him and struck!
Owen was baffled, feeling like he was in his previous life, walking and talking on the phone when a red-light-running electric scooter hit him.
Was this sothing to joke about?
If it went wrong, he could’ve ti-traveled!
“Tabitha!” Owen yelled her na one word at a ti: “I swear, I’ll beat you to death!
Are you still my biological sister?
You don’t even care about as much as a stranger does!
I’ve lost all my hair, and you didn’t even ask how it happened!”
Tabitha was puzzled: “I know, but so what?
Just because you lost your hair doesn’t an you’re not my brother.”
Owen’s anger suddenly disappeared completely: his sister was right.
Vanessa’s voice ca from inside the Token: “Hey, hey, hey, Owen, what’s wrong?”
Owen picked up the Token: “I’m fine, just got knocked down by my sister.”
“Hahaha!” Vanessa couldn’t help but laugh on the other side: “Your sister is really interesting.”
Owen thought for a mont and felt that the two of them definitely wouldn’t get along, as they were both big eaters.
Ancient people had to secretly play mind gas with the proverb “Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors,” but these two could directly start a fight over a Taiwanese pineapple cake.
Tabitha humd an off-key tune while cooking, and the food had been quite good lately.
She seed to have gained so weight.
After dinner, the siblings went to bed.
Owen brought out the Commander’s Token Responsive Object, slipped out quietly, and headed straight for the Ghost Zone.
…
Inside the Ghost Zone, King of Souls and the others seed listless.
The Drowned Ghost Princess complained to the other three: “It’s all your fault.
If you had let be the liaison, our Honored Lord wouldn’t have disappeared without a trace.
We don’t know when he’ll co back, and what if he forgets about us?
Our rare opportunity will be completely gone.”
“It’s only been a day.
Our Honored Lord must be very busy; he can’t co and see us every day.” The Lord of the Skeleton Sea comforted himself but also started to worry, what if the Drowned Ghost Princess’s words ca true?
King of Souls thought for a mont and said: “In any case, we must first manage the Ghost Zone well, set up a thriving Ghost Market, so that when our Honored Lord cos next ti, he will understand our efforts.”
