136 Chase (2/2)
Evil Ghost Luo could see from a distance the bright buildings that were going to be his safe zone, almost close to his reach.
This pushed him further, even with the pressure on him, Evil Ghost Luo showed his experience in escaping, intent on dodging another attempt to his life.
Evil Ghost Luo knows more than anyone that his skill had an incredible potential once he used it to its full capability.
He didn't want to waste everything he accomplished until now. His maximum potential has yet to be achieved. There's still a lot of room for growth waiting for him, so he had to survive.
With all this thought, Evil Ghost Luo focused solely on that one structure in his sight that was getting closer and closer.
His face gave out a smile as he reached the vicinity of the building. Finally, he was safe. Evil Ghost Luo laughed at their foolishness, doing all that only to fail in the end.
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger overcame him. Instantly reacting, Evil Ghost Luo dived towards the nearby wall.
The same time his body touched the wall, a massive green ball of fire shot down from the sky hitting him before exploding to its surroundings, he was completely enveloped by the violent green flame, burning every part of his body.
The whole place was lit up with a bright green flame that never stopped burning. The flame strangely didn't spread to its surroundings and only stayed in a specific area.
It was like a scene from hell. Soon after, footsteps can be heard making their way to the location of the body.
The violent green flames never seemed to affect them as they walked through it, treading slowly towards the now dead body.
A moment of silence can be heard before one of them spoke,
”He got away.”
Right after leaving those words, he turned away, making his way back to report about the unfortunate news. The second person then silently followed behind him.
...
On an apartment complex, a man who was wearing a uniform was making his way up the stairs while holding several bags containing some food and necessities from the local convenience store.
He was a typical ordinary person who was living a humble life, working hard every day for a decent amount of wage.
Getting inside his home, the man left the bags on the table and sat on the sofa.
Uncharacteristically, a dark expression showed on his face. He seemed to be annoyed as he spoke,
”I almost died there.”
”That was close. If I weren't able to react fast enough, I, Evil Ghost Luo would be gone from this world.”
After getting far away from the location, Evil Ghost Luo went to search for another vessel to use since he had to leave the last one.
He chanced upon a man coming out of a store, going on his way home. Now that he couldn't afford to wait for an optimum vessel, Evil Ghost Luo trailed after him and made his move on a small alley that led towards his apartment.
”It seems that I have to lay low for now while I recover from my injuries.”
Evil Ghost Luo grimaced in the pain that he was feeling. He didn't get away unscathed. When he shot out of his previous body, the green flame slightly grazed him.
His ghost form suffered severe injuries with only a graze. He could only imagine what would happen if the scary flame directly touched him.
Reaching around his pockets, he found an ID from where his current vessel was working hat.Apparently, he was a security guard from one of the schools in this area.
”Fifth High?”
”Looks like I'll have to play along for now.”
