The juvenile mage watched the ghost in front of him cautiously and asked quietly: "Tell me your identity and origin, Mr. ghost, I will decide what attitude to take on you based on your sincerity."
Ghost is a kind of incorporeal undead creature created by the combination of "negative energy" and the soul of the dead. It usually retains a part of memory and life habits including dress and dress.
This ghost that suddenly appeared in the lighthouse, although it has become an incorporeal body, can still distinguish his appearance and clothing before his life-it looks like a young seaman.
"Dear Mr. Master, my name is Thomas Curry. I am a watchman employed by the colonial government to manage this lighthouse." The ghost shrugged and added with some frustration, "Well, at least I was this before I was alive. The watchman of the lighthouse, Mr. Master, what do you call it?"
"My name is Joan, just a traveler passing by here." The young mage deliberately omitted his last name to prevent the ghost from cursing after learning his full name. "Mr. Currie, listening to your tone of voice, you obviously know yourself It’s dead, but your soul can’t rest. Is there anything else you can’t let go of?
After a person dies, the spirits usually go to the divine kingdom where the gods worshipped during their lifetime, or the outer planes corresponding to their philosophical beliefs, and the souls of unbelievers go to the "spirit world (ether plane)", only those with strong feelings Souls who are resentful and unwilling to leave this world can be transformed into ghosts, still hovering in the places they miss.
In front of Joan, the ghost who claimed to be Thomas Curry, I don’t know how long he had died, and the soul was still wandering in the lighthouse. It can be seen that he has a deep feeling for this place, which is commensurate with the pre-life profession of "Lighthouse Watchman".
"Mr. Master, it is hatred, anger, and guilt that have prevented my soul from resting! For all four years, I have been tortured by these three negative emotions, and I am almost crazy to become a evil spirit. Your arrival saved me and made me I was able to get rid of guilt!" said the ghost excitedly.
"Guilty?" Joan raised his eyebrows and looked curiously at the ghost. "Mr. Curry, have I done anything to help you get rid of guilt?"
"Just now, you repaired the lampstand so that the lighthouse will reignite the warning light after four years!"
"Mr. Master, this was supposed to be my job, but after turning into a ghost, I could no longer perform my life’s duties. Looking at the extinguished lampstands every day, and watching the ships sinking and sinking because of the loss of the lighthouse navigation, I would always Deeply blame yourself for your negligence..."
"Until your arrival, the lighthouse reappears brightly. This dazzling light makes it difficult for me to contain my excitement, and I can't help showing up to thank you."
The ghost bowed deeply to Qiao An, expressing gratitude from the heart.
"I am deeply touched by your professionalism. Mr. Curry, you just said that there are three negative emotions that make your soul uneasy. Now that I already know why you are guilty, can you tell me that it has been so many years, Why can't you let go of the hatred and anger in your heart?"
"Mr. Master, let’s talk about it four years ago. A group of siren girls traveled from the depths of the ocean to the scimitar coast in a storm cloud. They built a nest in the atoll near the lighthouse. When it was quiet at night, They sang beautiful songs, seduce nearby creatures to move closer to them, and fell into the prey of that evil banshee in a state of infatuation. They were first arbitrarily played by them as slaves. Corpse."
Recalling the encounter, Thomas Curry's ghost couldn't help shaking, and death could not make him forget the fear and torture he had suffered in his lifetime.
"Mr. Curry, if I guessed right, you are also one of the victims of the Kraken, and until now you still remember to avenge the banshees?" Qiao An asked.
"Yes, Mr. Master, my fragile will can’t resist the beautiful singing voices of the Kraken girls, becoming their captives, and listening to their rhetoric, they broke the lampstand and extinguished the lights by themselves... Alas, now I think back to me I feel ashamed, it is like a nightmare."
The ghost covered his face and sighed. After a while, he calmed down. Then he said, "I thought that was love. I gave everything for the sake of winning the Kraken's favor, and even committed the crime of dereliction of duty, but this is all mean. Scam! When I personally destroyed the lighthouse, the siren girls thought that I had lost the value of use, and immediately changed a vicious and cold face, killing me cruelly, eating my body, and my soul was due to hatred. Can't rest with anger!"
"In the four years since then, the Kraken girls have been entrenched in the atoll belt and built their own evil kingdom. Day after day, they used the song of the ecstasy to lure the ships passing by to touch the reef and plunder the gold and silver jewelry on the ship. Enchanting and eventually eating the poor passengers and sailors on the ship, the crimes committed are almost innumerable, so that this sea area is regarded as an extremely dangerous restricted area by the ships, called the "Sailor Cemetery"!"
The ghost of the lighthouse watchman raised his head, and his eyes burned with pale and blazing light, and he excitedly floated to Joan until he was blocked by the "protection against evil" enchantment.
"Respectable mage, over the years, there have been no less than ten casters passing by this place, but only you are willing to take the initiative to repair the lighthouse, you can see that you are a kind-hearted person, I beg you to try to eliminate those evil Kraken girls To restore tranquility to this sea area and get rid of the notoriety of "Sailor Cemetery"!"
"Calm down, Mr. Curry, tell me how many Kraken girls there are, where they usually hide, and how many accomplices are around them." Joan told the ghost frankly, "Before deciding whether to accept your commission, I must Fully understand the power of the enemy, if there is no hope of victory, I do not want to take my own life in vain."
"You're right, Mr. Master, we really have to take this matter seriously, and now I'll answer your question." The ghost of the lighthouse watchman stopped and recalled, then said, "The ring about two miles away from the lighthouse Near the reef belt, there was a large ship stranded on the reef four years ago. Half of the hull was inclined and sunk below the surface of the sea, and was deeply plunged into the sand, but the bow part was still exposed above the sea surface. In this shipwreck, every night on a clear moon, I would sit on the rooftop on the second floor of the bow and sing."
"Are there three siren girls in total? It's not a good deal..."
Joan frowned slightly, thinking.
