Nature and Origins
Ghost Slaves are supernatural entities that hunt and feed largely by instinct. They lack consciousness, but their obsessions are stronger and their adherence to killing rules is less strict than that of true ghosts 51 89.
An individual Ghost Slave can carry only a faint ghostly presence. Multiple overlapping traces, however, can produce an aura strong enough to be mistaken for a true ghost’s 6.
Some Ghost Slaves are created from the dead:
- Female employees killed at the cruise ship’s banquets and thrown into the sea were turned into Ghost Slaves by a ghost 53.
- During a battle at sea, corpses rose and became Ghost Slaves under the Sea Resentment Ghost’s command 62.
Killing Rules and Behavior
| Setting | Rule or observed behavior | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Wang Family Village | Ghost Children attacked when Jing Xi screamed. The separate rule of the hunched corridor figures remained unclear at the time. | 15 |
| Cruise ship banquet | Guests were warned that refusing to dance or sing with one of the five Ghost Slaves would be fatal. | 33 |
| Cruise ship cabins | Ghost Slaves attacked passengers who had triggered the ship’s rules, including some who looked in mirrors. Si Yehan remained safe when he had triggered none. | 39 40 |
- Feeding: Ghost Slaves can tear apart and consume victims. Village Ghost Slaves did not eat the village chief’s corpse because a person had killed him rather than a broken killing rule 21.
- Physical contact: The cruise ship’s Ghost Slaves could not attack Si Yehan while he had broken none of their five rules 39.
- Destruction: Ghost Slaves are not immortal. The Mirror Ghost sealed some in mirrors and tore them apart, reducing them to ash 61 62.
Notable Types
- Hunched village figures — Ghost Slaves resembling elderly people that patrolled the corridors and village. They shared killing rules and had no awareness 15 21.
- Ghost Children — Infant-like village Ghost Slaves that emerged in the rain. Some had tongues protruding from their eye sockets; screaming triggered their attacks 15 21 22.
- Cruise ship Ghost Slaves — Included female figures in long gowns and drenched figures that emerged from shadows. Five also disguised themselves as humans at the banquet 35 39 51.
- Special Ghost Slaves — More than thirty appeared after the battle among the cruise ship’s three Vengeful Ghosts. Each had a single green vertical eye and a mirror embedded in its chest. Si Yehan judged them stronger than the original Ghost Slaves and suspected they might possess all three ghosts’ killing rules 62 63.
Story Role
Soul-Shaking Ancient Village
After a woman was found dead, the ponytailed veteran suggested that Ghost Slaves, rather than a true ghost, were responsible. Later, the instance’s difficulty increased, allowing Ghost Slaves to move independently during the day and adding killing rules 6 15.
Rain brought Ghost Slaves into the village. Si Yehan broke household windows to provoke villagers into triggering their rules, using the resulting attacks to clear more than seventy households 22. On the final day, his doll burst into bloody light and drove Ghost Slaves away from his bed; they were later swallowed by darkness when the instance cleared 24.
Outside the instances
Si Yehan used Ghost Slaves alongside his own power during his slaughter of Cangyun City. Later, Ge Te’er sent Ghost Slaves into a battle against Worldwatch’s lower- and mid-level fighters 30 68.
Cruise Ship Carnival
Ghost Slaves infiltrated the banquet and later entered passengers’ cabins to hunt those who had broken the ship’s rules. They vanished at dawn, after which staff cleaned the rooms of the dead 33 39 40.
On the final night, Ghost Slaves fought alongside the Vengeful Ghosts battling over the sea. Hybrid Special Ghost Slaves subsequently filled the ship and followed Si Yehan until the instance ended, when they were swept into whirlpools and turned to ash 62 63.
