The little boy was wearing a large white pajamas that was twice as big as him. The bottom of the pajamas reached the ground and covered the little boy's entire body, leaving only a pair of small feet exposed.
The little boy's face was pale and sickly. He held a teddy bear in his right hand and looked at Natalia with a smile.
"Big sister, can you see me?"
The little boy's smile was quite cute, and his voice was also very ethereal.
However, his entire body was slightly transparent, like some kind of projection. It felt like a gust of wind could blow him away.
"You, you, you …!"
Natalia didn't notice the little boy's presence at all and was shocked to see him suddenly.
"W-who are you?"
"Haha! My name is Kongling oh, Kongling is the Kongling from the sky, Kongling is the Kongling from the Kongling from the Kongling … Eh ~ Although they seem to be more or less the same! But my name is Ethereal Spirit. "
(…)
The little boy's self-introduction almost confused Natalia.
"You … are a specter?"
Although Natalia was very afraid of ghosts, her intuition told her that the little boy in front of her was not dangerous.
"Puff puff puff, please call me by my name – Ethereal."
Empty Spirit placed her hands on her waist and pretended to be very angry. However, from the looks of it … the effect wasn't that obvious. On the contrary, the effect was somewhat cute.
"Uh ~ Brother Kongling, are you a ghost?"
"En! I'm a ghost. "
Kong Ling nodded and said proudly.
Then, he seemed to have realized something and immediately changed his words.
"Bah, your whole family are ghosts. I'm not a ghost."
"Er ~ My whole family is indeed ghosts now."
Natalia was right. Didn't her whole family die in Hope Village? Weren't they all ghosts now?
"Eh ~ Alright, I was wrong! I'm actually the guardian of this land. "
Ethereal said proudly.
"Guardian?"
Natalya did not believe in the existence of God. She would rather believe that there were ghosts living in the world than the existence of God in this world.
(If God really exists, Hope Village won't …)
"Aiya, aiya, do you not believe what I said? I can see the distrust in your eyes. "
"I do, of course I do! Little brother Kongling is so cute, how can I not believe you? "
Natalia said with a grin.
"Pfft, you just don't believe me! Hmph, I'm leaving. "
(Then what are you doing here?!)
Natalia cursed in her heart.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Natalia couldn't wait for him to leave.
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot about the important matter. "
Just as Kong Ling was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something.
Kongling raised his head high and placed his palms on either side of his mouth, using them as a loudspeaker.
"Everyone, come out!"
Kong Ling's action really scared Natalia.
All of a sudden, a lot of white smoke rose from the ground with Kong Ling and Natalia as the center. It was also translucent.
The white smoke slowly floated up, and when it reached a certain height, it turned into human figures. There were men, women, humans, and beasts … There were a lot of them, and there were at least two or three hundred of them.
"This is …"
"They are the real specters!"
… ….
"Ah! Ah! Mom, save me! "
Hearing about ghosts, Natalia was so scared that her legs trembled. She even wanted to call her deceased mother to save her.
"Natalia, don't be afraid! As long as I'm here, even if Reynolds, who is countless times scarier than ghosts, is here, I'll help you beat him away. "
Tom jumped on Natalia's shoulder to comfort her.
Although he said so, Tom thought that Natalya had been scared out of her wits at the moment.
(What ghosts? Why don't I see them?)
Only Natalia could see Kong Ling's existence. What Tom saw was only a vast expanse of white fog.
"Haha, what a cute bunny! You do have a pretty good friend! "
Kong Ling covered her little mouth and said with a smile.
"Tom …"
Natalia was completely touched by Tom's actions.
However, what she didn't know was that Tom thought that she was crazy. The best way to comfort a crazy person was to follow her delusions. That was why Tom said that.
"Haha … Don't be afraid. Look at them carefully! "
Natalia followed Kong Ling's guidance and gathered her courage to look around. She knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to overcome her weakness of being afraid of ghosts.
Slowly putting down her hands that were covering her eyes, Natalya realized that the ghosts formed by the white smoke were all standing behind Ethereal at this moment. It was a dazzling sight to behold.
"Actually, they are all ghosts here!"
"Ghosts?"
Natalia said weakly.
Natalia looked like a three year old girl right now. Tears of fear hung in the corner of her eyes. If Reynolds saw this, he would definitely laugh at her until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled.
"Aren't you curious about how that creature came out?"
Kong Ling pointed behind Natalia. Right now, Ragnar was the one who buried the two corpses of Chen Huotian.
"But I don't know!"
Natalia shook her head.
"Sigh, it can't be helped. I'll tell you! "
"Many years ago, this small island was a very beautiful place. Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and fruit trees flourished. All the beasts lived here happily. But suddenly, one day, an uninvited guest came to this beautiful and quiet island. That was a human alchemist. "
(Alchemist? Is it that scientist?)
Natalia didn't interrupt Kong Ling's words and continued to listen.
"That alchemist built his own experimental base underground in the center of the island. The main purpose seemed to be to study biological evolution. I don't know the specifics. In short, these ghosts were the victims of his experiments! "
"What about Ragnar?"
"And Ragnar is the most successful product of his experiments! One day, a human accidentally came to this island. He noticed the abnormal situation here and finally found out about the existence of the alchemist after investigating. That human wanted to destroy the alchemist's research base, but in the end, he failed. He was caught alive and used as an experiment. "
