Chapter 503: A Living Being (2/2)

If he made Xue Wei attack someone without it being self-defense, then his soul would shatter. No one would be willing to take such risks.

And if it were truly a case of self-defense, then no one would be able to say anything anyway.

As such, he could only hope for the best.

”What is happening?” the captain appeared next to the guard, and looked at him with a questioning expression on his face.

The guard looked as if he had found his savior, and he instantly explained what had happened, ”Captain, there is a bit of a problem here. The carriage has a living human inside,” he said. His voice was so low that no one else heard it.

He understood that Xue Wei was a living being, but a living being appearing would cause chaos.

Many of the Ghosts would be jealous. They were dead, and life as a ghost was not easy. Many dreamt of returning to the real world, returning to be alive, returning to a life where they did not have to fear getting consumed.

The life of the living was only a rumor to them, but the dreams were still vivid in the mind of most ghosts.

If a living being appeared, then chaos would ensue. Every strong ghost would look for him in an attempt at finding a way to return to the real world.

They wanted to live again.

They were not planning on stealing his life force. Everyone knew that it was impossible for a ghost to suddenly take over a living body, but they hoped to find a path back to the outside world.

Xue Wei could not blame them. The Ghost Realm was extremely dark, gloomy, and desolate.

It was a hell, a place where you only had to fight for strength, and the strength only mattered for the sake of survival.

There was no purpose in life, no actual enjoyment. While some tried to get the best out of it, time indeed went by slowly in the Ghost Realm, and many often succumbed due to the harsh nature of the realm.

The commander knew that the fact that a living being had appeared was extremely important. He had to inform his higher-ups right away, but it was even more pressing to hide the life force in Xue Wei's body. He also had to mask his eyes somehow, so that he no longer had a pupil, but two big, black eyes.

Fortunately, although the Ghost Realm did not really have living beings, most places had ways to change a living being's aura.

”Please take the carriages to the Mayor's manor,” the Captain politely asked the middle-aged ghost to drive to the most crucial place in the whole village, and naturally, the ghost did not decline. It would be much better for his business to obey the orders and go there.
