Chapter 140 Ghost
Knights Road, Upper Igwynt.
In the afternoon, in the room of No. 26, Cavalier Street, in the large living room on the first floor, Dorothy and a group of visitors gathered here to visit Anna who had just recovered from a serious illness. Anna, who had stayed in the hospital for a long time, was very happy to see so many familiar figures at once, and she talked happily with them one by one.
"Are you recovering well these days, Anna?" Dorothy asked Anna while sitting by a window, and Anna nodded and answered obediently.
"Don't worry, I was just frightened by those evil wolves at that time. With the blessing of God, I am fine now. We must believe in the power of God, don't you agree, Mr. Meshhos?"
Anna said to Dorothy with a smile, and winked playfully at the slightest hint. Dorothy couldn't help but smile in response.
"Of course, thank God for blessing each of us."
"It seems that Anna is now very clear about her role. She knows how to conceal her true self and try her best to cooperate with the Security Bureau."
Looking at Anna's performance, Dorothy thought to herself that another important reason for her to come here to visit Anna was to confirm her current condition and whether she would be panicked under the surveillance and protection of the hunters. But now it seems that Anna's performance is much better than she expected.
"As expected of an excellent child in the orphanage, he is much more mature than other children of his age, obedient and aware of his situation. I feel relieved now."
After talking with Anna, Dorothy thought so, and then prepared to go to the table nearby to eat some desserts prepared in advance and enjoy the rest of the visit.
And at this moment, when everyone was immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the visit, an invisible shadow that could not be detected was sneaking into the scene quietly.
Some invisible object passed through the wall and slowly floated into No. 26, floating in the spacious living room, floating among the people gathering together, spying on the situation inside and trying to find out every detail.
However... no one at the scene sensed that anything was wrong. They were still talking and laughing with each other, not noticing that there was anything wrong around them.
No one can notice the existence of this invisible thing, but it is secretly spying on everyone. It surrounds everyone and observes them, and even passes through the human body directly, but the people passed through do not notice anything unusual.
After finishing the conversation with Anna, Dorothy began to wander around the living room, occasionally tasting the desserts and tea prepared in advance, and trying to talk to other participants to learn about Anna's property inheritance.
"This house is pretty good. I wonder how much it costs..." Dorothy exclaimed as she looked around. A man who looked like a lawyer was talking to her and answered with a smile.
"This Knights Road is a great location, Miss Meshhos. Although it's a townhouse, it's not much cheaper. I'm afraid it will cost more than 500 pounds."
"Only five hundred pounds..." Dorothy thought speechlessly as she listened to the lawyer's response. Five hundred pounds would only be enough for her to buy a secret book, while in the secular world, this amount of money could buy a multi-story townhouse in a good location. One has to sigh that as long as the relationship is mysterious, the prices will skyrocket to an exaggerated level.
'I don't know how much Gregor earns. As the captain of the hunter team, his salary should not be low, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped from a wage earner to a middle-class city dweller, and he can also save money to buy a single-family house in the suburbs... But it's still not as high as mine.'
Dorothy thought so and from Greg's occasional complaints she knew that he had been saving for almost a year and had not yet reached his goal, and a detached house in the suburbs cost around four or five hundred pounds, which proved that Greg had not saved that much money in a year, while Dorothy could easily get that much with just two votes.
Perhaps this is the pros and cons of being a Beyonder in the government. Dorothy had heard from Aldridge before that the official Beyonder weapons and props were all distributed directly from above. As long as you accumulate enough spiritual power and merit, the government can directly help arrange your promotion, and it is also easier to obtain Beyonder intelligence. The only thing is that you don't have freedom, and you can't make extra money like Dorothy.
Sitting in front of a window, Dorothy drank a cup of tea while thinking, and occasionally admired the scenery outside the window.
Just as Dorothy was immersed in this peaceful and calm atmosphere, her expression suddenly became serious and her brows slightly frowned.
"Hiss...it seems...something seems a little off..."
Dorothy, who was sitting by the window, suddenly felt something strange. She had a weird feeling but couldn't tell what was wrong.
'I feel... a little uncomfortable... I feel... a little strange... Why do I suddenly feel this way?'
Dorothy thought with some doubt. She suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, and there was something that made her feel uncomfortable.
With a hint of confusion, Dorothy activated the passive vision granted by the Identification Spell, which allowed her to perform spiritual observation to a certain extent.
Then she saw a pale, blurry, semi-transparent human face floating in the air in front of her, only one meter away from her. The withered and empty eyes were staring at her silently, and her hand holding the teacup had even penetrated into the white shadow.
At this moment, Dorothy's mouth opened slightly, her eyes began to widen, and she took a breath, as if she was about to lose control and make a sound in the next second.
“What a nice street view…”
At the critical moment, Dorothy relied on her reason to suppress her panic-stricken heart, and let her open mouth speak calm words. Then, she continued to drink tea quietly and appreciate the scenery outside the window, as if she didn't notice anything unusual.
Seeing Dorothy like this, the pale ghost that had been standing in front of her and staring at her circled around Dorothy twice and then quietly floated away. In the corner of Dorothy's eye, she saw that thing began to observe other people in the party and occasionally pass through other people's bodies.
"Shit... What the hell is this? Why is it here?"
Dorothy observed the ghostly shadows floating among the crowd with her peripheral vision, and thought seriously in her heart, and began to guess what it was.
"Is this something the hunters arranged to secretly patrol and protect Anna? No, it even approached the hunters' disguised servants to observe them one by one, so it shouldn't be the hunters' thing.
"It can pass through physical barriers, a blurry humanoid figure that cannot be seen with ordinary vision, floating around like a ghost... No, it can't be said to be like a ghost, it is a ghost!"
Dorothy was convinced that in a world with extraordinary powers, it was normal for ghosts to exist! This thing was a ghost... or more precisely, a ghost...
Dorothy thought so, and at the same time she understood why she had felt a slight strange feeling just now, because that thing was approaching her, right next to her. The source of Dorothy's unhappiness came from this ghost.
And why was this so? Dorothy knew the answer well.
Because it is related to death and ghosts, it symbolizes the spirit that withers in long sleep, which is "silence", and "silence" is a spirituality that is opposite to "enlightenment". Therefore, as an extraordinary person of "enlightenment", when I approach or even touch that ghost, I will sensitively produce such a feeling.
In Dorothy's spiritual vision, that thing seemed to be maintained and constructed by the "silent" spirituality and some other impurities, and was directly exposed to the outside, unlike the extraordinary people whose spirituality was restrained in the body and not easy to detect.
"So... why would a ghost appear in 26 Knight Road, the temporary residence specially arranged for Anna?"
Sitting in her seat, Dorothy thought solemnly.
