??-----My legs went weak with fright, and I plopped down onto the bed. That thing could no longer be called human. Its facial skin was stiff, its eyes were black, and there was a strange red ring around them. It wore silver armor—at a glance, it was clearly a ghost general.
It looked like a fierce ghost on the same level as Song Wanyi and Xijun. Could the City God have sent a ghost general to capture me?
But that didn't seem right. Even if he wanted to send someone, wouldn't he send someone more senior? Although this ghost general's yin energy was considerably stronger than Xijun and Wanyi's, I had two of them on my side. He was only one ghost. What could he possibly do to me?
Once I'd thought it through, I came back to my senses and began wondering why this fierce ghost had come running here for no reason. The hell?
"Hey, I'm going to sleep. If you want to fight or take my life, come back tomorrow. Is this ever going to end?" When I realized my wife-sister hadn't sounded the alarm, I barked at him and signaled with my eyes for Xijun and Wanyi to keep watch over the ghostly thing.
Xijun bared her fish-scaled teeth, ready to attack, while Song Wanyi looked completely unmoved, as if there were only me in her eyes.
When the fierce ghost saw two ghosts of roughly equal strength approaching, he didn't retreat in the slightest. Instead, he leaped in through the window and landed squarely in front of me.
What did this fierce ghost want? As far as I knew, I hadn't offended him.
"What grudge do you have against me? Is it really necessary to come looking for me in the middle of the night?
