"Not perfect?"
Listening to the unfamiliar man before him, Yang Jian recalled the supernatural incident caused by the Ghost Shadow Head in Dachuan City.
Li Lepeng had failed to control the Ghost Shadow Head, causing the supernatural incident to erupt completely. He had nearly died from a ghost's revival, but in the end, he had forcibly pulled himself back from the brink of death using the Forgetting Ghost he controlled. Of course, Yang Jian had helped during that time as well.
"I should have told you before. I tried to make myself forget the ghost's killing pattern, forget the ghost's identity, and take control of everything myself, becoming a ghost with the consciousness of a living person," Li Lepeng said.
"You should have succeeded. There's no turning back from that kind of transformation. Either you succeed and survive, or you fail and die. The fact that you're still alive proves that path works," Yang Jian said.
"Yes, but it wasn't a complete success. If a day has twenty-four hours, then during the twelve daytime hours, I'm absolutely safe. But during the day, my Sleepwalking Ghost sleeps, and my own abilities weaken. At night, when the Sleepwalking Ghost enters its active period, my strength increases tremendously."
"To be precise, only at night can I be considered a true ghost with the consciousness of a living person."
Li Lepeng spoke seriously, showing no concern over revealing such an important secret.
"What do you mean by not perfect?"
Li Lepeng said, "During those twelve nighttime hours, I can remain active for at most nine hours. For the remaining three, I still lose control. And I've never been able to break past that limit, so what I've done isn't perfect. That's why I don't want to leave Dachuan City until this problem is resolved."
