48 What if there's some kind of wild Ghost-type Spirit Beast on this bus? (Part 2)

While chattering away, Fire Dog used its small paws to gesture.

Riley confirmed with it, "You mean there's something that appeared and disappeared suddenly on her?"

"Bark!"

Fire Dog nodded vigorously.

"So that thing suddenly appeared and scared you, right?" Riley patted Fire Dog's head.

"Bark." Fire Dog buried its head in Riley's body, making a pitiful sound.

The female student sitting next to them watched their interaction and was baffled.

So Fire Dog had this kind of personality...

It's actually quite cute...

Maybe she should try contracting with a Fire-type Spirit Beast for her second contract slot...

"It's okay, it's okay," Riley reassured Fire Dog and then turned to the female student, saying, "You heard everything just now."

The female student came back to her senses and said uncertainly, "You mean something suddenly appeared on me?"

Riley nodded.

But before the female student could finish her sentence, a voice cut her off directly.

"Listen to him spewing nonsense. He's just making an excuses not to put away his Fire Dog. I warn you, you'd better put that Fire Dog away now, or you'll see how I deal with you if someone gets hurt later!" The man with the square face standing next to the female student said fiercely.

"Yeah, put it away quickly. It'll be too late if someone gets hurt." The woman in the adjacent seat chimed in.

"Put it away; we're all worried." Another person added.

"I don't think this boy looks like he's lying. What if there's some kind of wild Ghost-type Spirit Beast on this bus?" Another voice, different from the rest, emerged.

The noise on the bus instantly quieted down.

When it came to Spirit Beasts, the most mysterious were the Ghost-type. Any supernatural event involving Ghost-type Spirit Beasts suddenly became plausible.

Things like unexplained disappearances and sudden power outages turning rooms cold are all small matters for Ghost-type Spirit Beasts.

Ghost-type Spirit Beasts are elusive and have strange temperaments.

For example, Solutide, also known as the Possession Ghost Spirit Besst.

It likes to possess different people, and those being possessed are conscious but cannot control their own bodies. They can only watch helplessly as their bodies engage in all sorts of bizarre activities.

Jumping long distances, dancing, or even diving is manageable, but encountering a Soulitude that enjoys to running around naked was truly a stroke of bad luck.

Among those who have a love-hate relationship with the Soulitude are the people at the police station.

The Soulitude not only possesses the living but also loves to possess the deceased. Two years ago, unidentified corpses would inexplicably appear outside the police station in the city every now and then.

Upon examination, some had been dead for a day, a year, or even a decade. One of them was none other than Mirna, a campus beauty involved in a widely-publicized missing persons case three years ago.

The police, after reviewing the surveillance footage, discovered that the Soulitude was controlling the corpse to bring it to the police station.

Initially, they were unaware, but later, when the Soulitude materialized outside the corpse and revealed its short, stout stature, they recognized it.

When it comes to love, it's because the Soulitude can mysteriously help the police locate the bodies they couldn't find.

When it comes to hatred, it's because the Soulitude sometimes brings corpses that have been dead for a day or two. Isn't that pure destruction of the primary crime scene of a murder case?

Then there's Pokai, also known as the Guiding Lantern Spirit Beast. Which always appears to people who are lost, directing them in the right direction. However, it requires them to exchange a certain amount of life force in return.

It might sound like a Ghost-type Spirit Beast who know how to do exchange, but it's not.

Not too long ago, a woman in Fallahore City came out of a bar late at night, called a taxi, and waited by the roadside, possibly swaying as she walked or looking lost after drinking.

And the nearby Pokai assumed that she was lost...

Before the taxi even arrived, it forcefully brought her home, absorbed her life force, and when the woman woke up the next day and looked in the mirror, she thought someone had sucked her dry.

The variety of Ghost-type Spirit Beasts are too numerous to be listed.

Encountering those who enjoy playing pranks is one thing, but if you come across evil wild Ghost-type Spirit Beasts, you won't even know how you died.

For a moment, everyone on Bus was felt a tense atmosphere.
