101 Undeniable Truth (1/2)
Hearing that, Lexi has thought I was crazy for a second.
Framed by her shoulder-length auburn brown hair, her dark brown eyes narrow at me suspiciously.
I chuckle and gesture my hand to dismiss the previous comment.
Lexi didn't need to know ghost exists. No one really need to know, to be honest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
I then return to scrutinizing the garden outside, in the backyard. Total silence has returned.
The two ghostly apparitions are gone like they weren't there in the first place. But I do believe in what I had seen. They were there, just a moment ago. My eyes weren't playing trick on me.
And I will get to the bottom of this, eventually.
Ghosts are real. And since they are, they can definitely be captured, contained and studied. Now, who should I call when something this strange happens in the neighbourhood?
Spiderman!
I mean Ghostbusters!
The theme song begins to play in my head, making me smile.
Ah, wonderful nostalgia.
Ghostbusters will definitely be one of the flagship franchises under Terra Entertainment. None of that girl powers toxic shit! This isn't kindergarten anymore! They need to find their own franchises instead of ruining all of our cool boys stuff!
Anyway, I just need to figure out how to build a proton pack to get started.
And when I mean me, I mean Mystic. They are founded for this very reason.
Ghost are magical being, right? I didn't feel any magical energy like those undead, but I do feel spiritual energy lingering in the air, even if it faintly.
I suppose I will label ghosts as supernatural beings for now. Supernatural?
Where is Sam and Dean when I need them?
But instead of the Winchester brothers, I do have a duo virtual intelligence working on this.
Selene and Legion are analysing the recorded videos and audio frequencies.
If something is captured electronically like in those movies, Selene and Legion will find. But so far, they yielded absolutely nothing even with their combined processing power. Well, most of the processing powers come from Legion within my ring of power.
And the total processing power is growing exponentially thanks to infinite space at his disposal.
Regardless, how disappointing.
I guess it is up to me and human ingenuity. A challenge then?
Hunting down ghosts couldn't be more difficult than magic, could it? And once I capture a ghost, I will dissect it to see how it ticks.
This will all be a new territory for me, and it is very exciting to think about it.
Lexi rethinks whether I am crazy or not. She has just seen me staring out the window and then laughing to myself.
My maniacal expression dissuades her from pursuing some of her questions.
”You are curious, Miss Lester. I know. But you won't get any information from my wife no matter how much you ask her. She doesn't know anything about me asides from the facts that I am exceeding rich and powerful and beyond human.”
I speak up once I calm my excitement. There is no need to hurry because the supernatural occurrences seem to be contained within the premise.
I will buy out this estate and then take my time investigating the phenomenon.
If a ghost tries to kill me, I will kill it first. This will be the first time I get to torture a ghost.
Wonderful!
Tell me, do they bleed?
”I'm… sorry, but I don't know what you are –
Lexi responses. She assumes that I didn't know what happened once she is left alone with Sandra, who is easily persuaded to become very talkative.
It isn't Sandra's fault in this regard since she has no defence against Lexi's ability.
”Please don't play dumb, Miss Lester. We aren't kids. I can see everything and hear everything in this place.”
I pause for a bit.
”I know everything there is to know about you, Lexi Lester, born to Martha Lester and Anthony Lester on the 19th of May 1966. How are your parents lately? It has been about 14 months since you have talked to them last.”
Lexi didn't say anything in response.
Her mind reels and tries to figure out how I was able to know that.
