That makes some sense.
Why would a ghost be afraid of more people dying? Isn't it better for more people to die?
Seeing me sneer, the plump proprietress also laughed, but her smile was sinister and terrifying, mixed with a hint of self-mockery and resentment.
Do you think I'd like more people to die?
I countered, "Isn't that right?"
The plump proprietress laughed even more maniacally: "I'm a person! I used to be a living, breathing person!"
That's ridiculous. Who isn't human before they die?
Just like that line from a brainless forensic doctor in a certain TV series: The only clue we have now is that the deceased was alive before he died.
But as I pondered those words more carefully, I realized something was amiss.
I looked at her, puzzled, seeking an answer.
"I am a [bound spirit], that's true, but I didn't become a [bound spirit] because of some strong obsession. It was that person who made me like this! And..."
At this point, the plump proprietress suddenly ripped off her black robe.
There was nothing beneath the black robe.
There was a gruesome wound on her stomach, which snaked upwards from her lower abdomen to her chest.
The wound edges were smooth, as if it had been precisely cut open with an extremely sharp scalpel, but the abdomen had not been stitched up.

This is truly unheard of.
Moreover, [Earthbound spirits] can be manipulated by humans?
As far as I know, [earthbound spirits] are usually formed because of very strong emotions or unfulfilled wishes in their previous life.
For example, if a person experiences a sudden and tragic death in a certain place, such as being murdered or dying in an accident, and is filled with anger, resentment, or reluctance at the moment of death, such strong emotions will bind the soul to the place of death, thus forming a "ghost."
But now, the plump proprietress has become a [bound spirit] while she is still alive.
The body is alive, but the soul is dead!
"Who turned you into this?" I asked.
The plump proprietress put on a black robe and gave me a deep look: "The one who taught you how to escape the [Yin Spirit Trapping Array]."
