The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"I can now search for a specific soul of the dead in Tau's cemetery."

Mr. Ghost has just arrived in Jindor's dream, and the latter can't wait to share his discovery with him.

Mr. Phantom couldn't help being taken aback, and said unexpectedly, "Have you already experimented?"

"Yes." Qin Duo nodded, "It's similar to your method, as long as you know the name. I tried to find the dead strangers I knew, and indeed found their souls.

"Can we find the souls of the foreigners you need?"

Like Karakak, like Aldous Gershwin, and even... more.They all seem to be available.

However, a problem that Mr. Phantom is more concerned about is that this change is too abrupt.What caused Chindo to suddenly wield more of Lygardia's power?

He suddenly looked at Qin Duo thoughtfully.

Qin Duo asked in distress: "What's wrong?"

"When was the last time you came to Tau Cemetery?" Mr. Ghost asked.

Qin Duo thought for a while and said, "It was just three days ago. I have always followed you to the dreamland."

The restrictions on Qinduo on the Tau cemetery are not as great as those on Mr. Ghost's prophet on the farm.Qin Duo can actually enter Tau's cemetery continuously, but he doesn't think it is necessary.

Therefore, every time Mr. Ghost entered the dreamland, Qin Duo followed him.

"...But, the last time you came to the Tau cemetery, there was no such change." Mr. Ghost said, "So what happened in the past two or three days changed the situation."

Qin Duo also thought about it: "Two or three days?" He thought for a moment, and then said, "But for two or three days, you know, I've been busy with Ernestine Fair."

Yes, indeed.Mr. Ghost thought.He himself heard Qin Duo mention countless related content about this trade fair, but...

Ernestine Fair.

Mr. Phantom thought for a while, and then said: "I remember, a long time ago, the believers of Lygardia would help those who embarked on the journey in various ways?"

Qin Duo was stunned for a moment, recalled for a while, and then said: "Yes...that's right. Post stations, taverns, carriage shops, etc., these are the ways they help foreigners.

"Ernestine's Tavern... Maybe it's because of this, but it faces the West City. Are people from the West City considered foreigners in Lamifa City?"

That's a really good question.thought Mr. Ghost.

Do the residents of Lamifa West consider themselves part of the broader Lamifa City?

Mr. Phantom thought for a while, and then said: "Another possibility is that you have involved more people, not only limited to Lamifa City, but also businessmen and residents from other places and countries. Opportunity to benefit."

And, that's a more practical interest that goes deep into every aspect of people's lives.

"Indeed..." Qin Duo said, "However, the Praia family has been doing similar things. Do I need to participate in a more hands-on way? However, this seems a bit..."

He thought for a while, and used a word to describe this method of mastering power: "Simple."

At least compared with Akamala's farm, Lygardia's Tau cemetery does not seem to require much effort from the successor.

Mr. Ghost said: "For you, the hardest part of mastering the power of Lygardia should probably be meeting the successor of Akamala's power."

He said this quite matter-of-factly, but when he finished speaking, Qin Duo caught off guard and showed a moved and focused expression.

After a while, Qin Duo said in a low voice: "Yes... Of course I am very glad that I was able to meet you. This is the result of my hard work."

Mr. Ghost paused.He thought, he was obviously just discussing the matter, but Qin Duo seemed to be moved by this situation.Sometimes, he feels that Qin Duo's love is more simple and straightforward than his love.

He thought so, but inevitably smiled because of Qin Duo's performance."Fate brought us together," he said.

When they mention fate, it is not just a "force", but also hinting at Mr. Ghost himself.

There was an obsessive light in Qinduo's emerald green eyes, and he said, "I can think that what you say means that you are indulging my love for you?"

indulge.Mr. Ghost felt the word.

Maybe Ginto just said a word offhand.But for the novelist, the choice of the word always reminds him of some related possibility.

He realized that it seemed that in Qin Duo's heart, even love itself needed his permission before Qin Duo dared to carefully release his mind.

That's "indulgence," not "the norm."

... Although Cindo hates the Playa family, that ancient family from the past obviously had an indelible influence on Cindo's character.

Mr. Ghost sighed in his heart, he pulled Qinduo into his arms, and said, "You are already my partner, Qinduo."

"...It's just that sometimes I wish I could get closer to you." Qin Duo whispered.

"You can try harder," said Mr. Ghost.

Qin Duo muttered something vaguely, he thought for a while, and then said, "I'll go and learn. Speaking of which...do you think we can do something in the dream?"

"Under the watchful eye of Tau's cemetery?"

Qin Duo: "..."

He showed an indescribable expression, and then whispered, "That's kind of weird."

Mr. Ghost laughed, and then gently stroked Qin Duo's braid."There's always a chance," he said.

They hugged quietly for a while.

After a while, Qin Duo sighed in relief, and said, "Now I feel more at ease. At least it proves that I can still continue to control the power of Lygardia."

Before that, even though he had already entered the Tau cemetery, it was difficult for him to use the Tau cemetery to help Siles.But now, the situation is completely different.

"Besides, you also know which direction you should work hard in the future." Mr. Phantom said.

If it is said that the power of Akamala must start from the illusory aspect, then the power of Lygardia must touch those things that are more real and realistic.

To a certain extent, the Ernestine Trade Fair can be said to have directly affected the lives of the residents of Lamifaxi City, and Qindo has extended its influence to more people, such as those businessmen from foreign countries.

On this question, Qin Duo was a little troubled and said: "If this is not my illusion...why do I feel that mastering the power of Lygardia seems to be a little easier than mastering the power of Akamala?"

It was almost with the help of a force of fate that Mister Ghost ended up as the successor to Akamala's power by mistake.In this matter, his own sensitivity and reason also played an important role.

However, Qin Duo's grasp of Lygardia's power does not seem to be so... twists and turns.

"You are a descendant of Ligardia. It should be said that you were Ligardia's favorite candidate for successor." Mr. Ghost said, he thinks this is a very important factor, "Besides, you are very likely to have been in the previous days. It fits the power of Lygardia invisibly."

It can be said that Qin Duo has always been a stranger on a journey, at least in terms of mental state.He doesn't have any recognition of his identity as a "blood descendant of the old gods", and he seems to be out of tune with this world.

Moreover, he also has the help of the Praia family.That is a real, very huge force.

Qin Duo nodded thoughtfully, and he said: "I probably know how to develop in the future. I have already begun to look forward to our plan to go to Fuliou Sea in the future."

Mr. Ghost was taken aback, then smiled.

He thought that when he was on the isolated island just now, he seemed to notice that Garrett's dream bubble also appeared.Maybe there is some progress on Garrett's side.

However, Qin Duo still needs to solve the problem.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If we find the dead souls of foreigners, can we talk to them directly?"

Qin Duo shook his head, and said, "I can find any one for you, and you will know." He thought for a while, and then pronounced a name casually.It was a name Mr. Ghost had never heard.

Almost immediately, a translucent soul with a foggy white light appeared in front of them.It was a man who looked about 30 years old, with white mist floating around his body like a cloak.

Except for the still clear face, his body is actually just like a combination of light and fog.

He had a dull expression and muttered to himself, but none of them could hear what the man was saying.From time to time, he swayed from side to side, and then turned in a circle, as if he was moving his body, but there was also a rigidity in that movement.

Mr. Ghost first said in surprise: "Can you directly summon the soul here?"

"Yes." Qin Duo nodded a little complacently, "It was not possible before, but now, it seems that because I have further grasped the power of Lygardia, so..."

He thought about it.

"...it's these souls coming to me instead of me going to them."

Mr. Ghost smiled at the metaphor.

They looked at the soul that was randomly found.

The name that Cendo pronounced was actually in Kansas, and if translated, the name of the man in front of him was actually Ferdinand.

"Talk to these spirits and get very basic responses. Like..." He addressed Ferdinand's spirit in Kansas and explained, "I'm asking him, and his name is Not Ferdinand."

The pale soul walked around in a circle slowly, and then nodded slowly.

Qin Duo said something again, and explained: "I'm asking how he died."

But this time, Ferdinand did not give any response.The pale soul just turned around in place, and then stopped there.

Qin Duo shrugged and said, "It's just this question-and-answer format, the soul's response may be quite slow, and it can only ask simple questions."

Mr. Phantom asked with great interest: "Why does he turn around in a circle?"

Qin Duo was startled for a moment, looked at Ferdinand, then at Mr. Phantom, and finally said hesitantly: "Maybe... is it his personal habit?"

They looked at each other, then laughed at the same time.

The pale soul turned slowly around in place again.It really seemed to be a quirk of the soul.

"These souls seem to have their own habits," Cindo said. "Some souls like to sit on tombstones and talk to themselves, and some souls like to float around, even causing the surrounding souls to complain.

"I told you before that I had to resolve these little conflicts between souls. This is a bit... dumbfounding."

Mr. Phantom couldn't help but smile too.

Qin Duo turned to say: "Ferdinand is one of the foreigners who helped the Praia family to collect the corpse, so I just said his name.

"According to the records of the Praia family, he used to live in Taohtia, the capital of the Silent Sardinian Empire, but he had to leave his hometown because of the fog.

"What happened in Tauhetia seemed to give him nightmares, so shortly after escaping from Tauhetia he fell into a state of madness and extreme terror and died in this state."

Mr. Phantom listened silently. He looked thoughtfully at the floating pale soul in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said, "In this case, would it be a better way to start from the dream?"

The souls of these dead foreigners seem to have lost their will, and they just stay in the Tau cemetery in a daze.

According to what Carroll once reported, "After human death, the spirituality dissipates, and the fragile will can no longer drive the heavy body." This seems to be the world's view of death.

But then again, why can the soul in front of him stay in the Tau cemetery and retain a little basic self-awareness?

Mr. Phantom's mind stayed on this question for a while, and then turned to the problem they need to focus on now-how to make the most of the power of Tau Cemetery.

If you can watch the dreams of these dead foreigners, then maybe you can get a glimpse of the hidden secrets in their lives.

"We can try it out," Cindo said.

Mr. Ghost also nodded, and he said, "Look for Ferdinand's dream."

In the next second, it was as if the word "dream" aroused the emotions of the pale soul in front of him.Ferdinand's soul suddenly turned around again, but this time at a much faster speed.

His soul suddenly shrank into a gray dream bubble, floating in the air.

From time to time, this dream bubble, like Ferdinand's soul, spun around in circles.

However, unlike the last dream in which Mr. Ghost was looking for Aldous Gershwin here, this dream bubble is not gray, and changing pictures can be seen in it.

Mr. Ghost and Qin Duo looked at each other.He subconsciously reached out to touch the dream bubble, while Qin Duo frowned.Gendor didn't seem to want Mr. Ghost to just venture into the dream of the dead, but now it seemed necessary to do so.

However, when Mr. Ghost's finger touched the dream bubble, he failed to enter the dream.The dream bubble was just held in his hand.This colorful dream bubble is still circling in Mr. Ghost's palm.

Qin Duo said in surprise: "Is it impossible to enter the dream of the dead?"

Mr. Ghost stroked the surface of the dream bubble.At this moment, he felt as if he was holding a crystal glass ball.He can only see what it looks like through this layer of transparent glass, but he can't enter it because...

"This is the dream of the dead." Mr. Phantom whispered. "This is just a fragment of a dream that has been preserved, not a dream that is still active and changing. The pictures in it are repeated endlessly."

Qin Duo was taken aback for a moment, and he carefully looked at the scene in the dream bubble.

After a while, he said, "Is this... the appearance of Tauchitia when it was destroyed?"

"It should be," said Mr. Ghost.

It was a terrifying picture like the sky was falling.The endless gray-black fog rushed in, it was the scene where the blood-colored sunset and the unsuspecting city greeted together.

At that time Ferdinand was already on the way to escape.But he still couldn't help it, he looked back.

He saw... in the middle of the gray-black mist, a silver-white translucent balance was trembling, and then, like scattered fireworks, scattered into dots of light, dragging a long light tail, falling On the ground, the city was razed to the ground in an instant.

A hoarse cry woke Ferdinand.And he was in a daze, not knowing what he answered.This picture will become his eternal nightmare - he watched the death of the god.

The picture of the dream was frozen on Ferdinand's frightened, confused and strange expression.Then, the screen suddenly went black, and then began to cycle again.

The endless gray and black fog, the dark and bloody sky, the huge balance that collapsed into star points, the sudden collapse of Tao Hetia, the cries and screams of countless people around...

That was the end of the Sardinian Empire.he thinks.

For the first time, Mr. Ghost knew why in Mrs. Debris's letter to her lover, she clearly mentioned that she had witnessed the fall of Menawaka, the god of commerce and vows.

Apparently, among the people who fled Tauchtia at that time, there were not a few people who witnessed the scene of the collapse of the balance.And they will be haunted by such horrible, crazy scenes for life.

It didn't take long for Ferdinand, who fled Tauchtia, to die of such madness.And so are many more.Witnessing the fall of the old gods is beyond their imagination for human beings.

... However, in that chaotic and crazy age, this may not be a rare thing.When people are running for their lives, they must remember not to look back—don't see the fall of the gods.

"see".For Mr. Ghost, he also encountered similar things.He once looked into the rotting star eyes in the deep sea dream without warning.

If he hadn't survived by relying on his strong will attribute, then his ending might not be very good.Many of the world's problems arise from this ignorant curiosity.

But on another level, he can also understand Ferdinand's mentality at that time.After all, it was the fall of the old gods.

Mr. Ghost sighed inwardly.He tapped the dream bubble lightly, and the next moment, the dream bubble shattered following his will, and turned back into that pale soul again.

He himself didn't realize the meaning hidden in this smooth action, but Qin Duo said: "It seems that you are also...able to use Lygardia's power to a certain extent?"

Mr. Ghost was taken aback, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.He thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because it involves the power of dreams?"

"There is such a possibility." Qin Duo whispered, and he turned to ask, "Do you want to take this opportunity to find other people's souls?"

Mr. Phantom thought for a moment, then said, "Look at the dreams of Karakak and Aldous Gershwin first, if you can find them."

After that, Qindo found the souls of these two people again.Similar to Ferdinand, the souls of Karakak and Aldous are also pale and muddled.

The pale souls of the two men stood there silently.Aldous shook his head from time to time, muttering something.He seemed to speak Kansas, and Mr. Ghost asked Cyndo what Aldous was talking about.

Qin Duo listened for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He is missing his lover."

Mr. Phantom was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, it was really as expected.

Karakak's soul hugged itself tightly from time to time, shivering, as if it had been frozen by the long winter, so it had to use this method to keep itself warm.Habits in life affect his soul after death.

They looked at the dreams of the two men in turn.

Aldous Gershwin's dreams were full of his lovers.Looking at the softly smiling woman in the dream bubble, and the younger Aldous with a vigorous face, they all felt a little complicated.

Qin Duo almost subconsciously turned his head and kissed the corner of Mr. Ghost's lips.He didn't say anything, but Mr. Ghost knew what he meant.

They watched the loop in the dream bubble in silence.After a while, Mr. Ghost reached out to smash the bubble.He thought, as if he had returned to that more distant silent era, as if he had a glimpse of the past time with their familiar and strange friend.

It was a small part of his long life.Aldous Gershwin could not forget his love, despite the long life that followed.

Mr. Ghost sighed softly.Then, they looked at Karakak's dream.

Karakak's dreams are not a small episode in his life, but a recurring flash of important events in his life.

Born, growing up, ruined hometown, long wandering, streets and alleys and dark corners of different cities, people with different faces, expressions and personalities.He is getting old and old gradually, and he is gradually unable to continue this endless wandering life.

In the end, he died at a time when the day of spring was very close.In the end, he still died in the long winter snow.

Mr. Ghost silently watched Karakak's life with a heavy heart that was caught off guard.Sometimes, some fragments can immediately remind him of certain descriptions in "The Diary of Karakak".

That would make him smile knowingly, as if the illusory text had turned into a real picture.But more often, he felt a sigh as long as winter.It made him think of a frozen winter lake.

They also silently watched the dream scene that kept repeating.

...But suddenly, Mr. Ghost frowned.

"What did you notice?" Qin Duo asked timely.

"...a...a familiar face?" Mr. Ghost said uncertainly.

Qin Duo was stunned, and he said troubledly: "But... I remember you once said that Karakak is a member of the Silence Period?"

"Yes." Mr. Phantom said in a low voice, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he suspected that he had misread it, but he did feel a strong sense of familiarity.That subtle feeling made him quite concerned.

Qin Duo then said, "Why don't we watch it a few more times?"

"Okay," said Mr. Ghost.They continued to stare at the picture, and Mr. Ghost paid special attention to the part that caught his attention.

He waited almost with bated breath, and then the image flashed.

Karakak went to drink in a tavern, he had no money, so the proprietress tried to throw him out.At this moment, a young man came to his aid and paid for him.They drank together.

...the young man.

Mr. Phantom stared blankly at the picture.The man's face seemed to have been deeply engraved in his heart. Even if the picture changed in an instant and changed to something else, Mr. Phantom could not forget it.

He closed his eyes abruptly, then opened them again.He said, "It's him."

"Who?"

"The man who sold the doll to me." Mr. Ghost said slowly, "The mysterious stall owner who appeared at Ernestine's Underground Fair."

Cendo was surprised to hear this statement, and then looked again at Karakak's dream bubble.He said, "That's been in the past... hundreds of years?"

Mr. Ghost nodded.After the initial shock, he felt an indescribable... It should be said, a kind of expected feeling.

Fate once again had a little coincidence at this time.He got Karakak's diary, from which he learned that a man once offered Karakak a drink; he also paid attention to the doll in the underground fair because of the doll in the deep sea dream and finally bought the doll set.

In the end, he finally discovered this strange coincidence in the Tau cemetery.

This is an indispensable coincidence.And such a coincidence may also be called fate.

He stared deeply at Karakak's dream bubble.He thought, if this is fate, then what does fate want to tell him?

A mysterious man who has lived from the silent record to today?

... Seriously, this immediately made him think of Mr. Xia, because Mr. Xia seemed to have lived many years too.But isn't Mr. Xia related to Antinam?Why is Karacak involved again?

What happened to Karakak seems to be clearly related to Akamala.His hometown was destroyed precisely because of the fall of Akamala.

However, based on the current situation, Antinam is obviously in the same camp as Lygardia and Akamala. Maybe he inherited the legacy of these two gods?

Antinam secretly took care of the Praia family, so he might have some relationship with Akamala.

……etc.A more strange question is: if this mysterious man is really Mr. Xia, then why does Mr. Xia who is related to Anti-Nam appear in Silence?Wasn't Antinam not born at that time?

Mr. Ghost was surprised to realize the problem.

If that was Mr. Xia, then this would bring Mr. Xia's appearance back to the middle of the Silent Era.At that time, all the old gods had not yet fallen, and there were still hundreds of years before the appearance of Anti-Nam.

Why did Mr. Xia appear at that time instead?

Mr. Phantom paid attention to this question, and realized that this question was likely to overturn his perception of Anti-Nam.

Regardless of whether Mr. Xia is Anti-Nam's representative, Anti-Nam's incarnation, or other possible connections, there is no doubt that Mr. Xia is related to Anti-Nam.

And this brings up a question of timing.

It is generally accepted that Antinam appeared at the turn of the Silent Era and the Mist Era.The church in the past seemed to think so too, but... what if Antinam was born earlier?

In fact, people can't really know the birth of a god, can they?It's just that they claim and recognize it so, but this may not be the truth.

For a long time, a very troublesome problem is that, as the god of the past and history, Anti-Nam has a very weak sense of existence.He himself is like a shadow, hidden behind the fog of world history, looming.

This question made Mr. Phantom fall into deep thought.

Qin Duo kept quiet and did not disturb his thinking.Afterwards, Mr. Ghost came back to his senses and told Qin Duo his thoughts.

Qin Duo was stunned, and he said, "Do you think that Anti-Nam has been involved in matters related to the old gods earlier?"

Mr. Ghost nodded, and said, "I think it's possible."

"Then we have to analyze what happened during the Silence Period from another angle." Qin Duo said.

Mr. Ghost agrees with the idea.He also said: "Besides, we still don't know what happened in the Shadow Era. It is the Shadow Era that caused all kinds of things in the Silent Era."

There are many mysteries.he couldn't help thinking.

After accidentally discovering this problem, Mr. Phantom didn't bother to look for other dreams of the dead.He stayed in Qindo's dream for a while longer, and discussed with Qindo the relevant information of Antinam, but they failed to draw a very reasonable conclusion.

So Mr. Phantom said: "Forget it, after we return to reality, we can continue to study. I will leave first, and there seem to be other dreams waiting for me to visit on the isolated island."

"You go." Qin Duo said, but he still begged for a kiss for himself reluctantly.

Afterwards, Mr. Ghost left Jindor's dream.He returned to the island, and sure enough, he saw Garrett Gielgud's dream.He went to the farm first, took the No. [-] doll, and went to Garrett's dream together.

He had good news from Garrett.

Over the past period of time, Garrett has received various information from various sailors.He integrated some of the information and found that a large part of the Fuliou Sea had been included, so he decided to go to sea first to confirm the accuracy of some of the information.

"We will go to sea at the end of April, and it will take about half a month. I am used to Kingsley's port, so I will go back and forth at Kingsley's port. I will reorganize the information when I come back. The second time to go to sea It will probably be at the end of May."

Garrett introduced his thoughts.

end of may?

Mr. Ghost frowned involuntarily.He is quite sensitive about this date now.

So, the puppet said: "The middle and late May is not a good day to go to sea."

Garrett froze for a moment, he looked at Mr. Ghost and his puppet inexplicably, and didn't understand why there was such a statement.He asked, "What will happen then?"

"You can think so." The puppet said slowly, "At least there is such a possibility."

"...I'm asking you about 'what' will happen, not 'if' will happen." Garrett said in a dark voice, "something related to the Sea of ​​Foley?"

"Very likely," said the puppet.

Garrett rolled his eyes: "It's really a secret. Okay, I will postpone the plan for a while, and I won't go to sea in the second half of May. This will most likely delay the drawing of the chart, I have to make it clear first."

The puppet nodded seriously and said, "Safety comes first."

Garrett showed a subtle expression because of this.In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and couldn't help saying: "You mysterious guy, what do you say about 'safety first'?"

"Of course." The puppet said rigidly, "You have to pay attention to your safety, otherwise you won't be able to complete the chart."

Garrett: "..."

He chuckled and said, "Thank you for your reminder. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." The puppet said politely.

Mr. Ghost left Garrett's dream.

The progress on Garrett's side is welcome, but the mid-to-late May date is also unsettling.He's still not sure what will happen then, and they're still a month away.

He sighed unconsciously.

After returning to the isolated island, he looked at the plants on the isolated island.He accidentally discovered that a dream bubble was hanging on the seaweed belonging to Hed Dreyson.

In the past half a month, he would enter the deep sea dream from time to time.However, this was the first time that Hurd's dream bubble appeared in the past period of time.

After entering Heard's dream last time, he has been feeling a little worried.After Mr. Ghost enters the dream, Hurd will regain his will in the dream.

However, Hurd's dream is a nightmare, and he has not yet been able to meet Mr. Ghost.

Therefore, Hurd may not understand what happened at all, so he is completely trapped in this nightmare.

He'd been trying to figure it out, at least meet Hurd once.But Hurd never dreamed again.And now, he can finally talk to Hurd.

So, he first sent the No. [-] doll back to the farm, talked with the dolls for a while, and then returned to the isolated island. The matter of the puppet show Journey.

The puppets do know of the show's existence, but not much more.They seem to have been made by Akamala and placed on the farm when Akamala was about to fall.

They did mention, however, that the stage in miniature on which they now sit was the stage of Dormaine's former Grand Theatre.In other words, it is precisely because countless puppet shows have been staged there that this stage model can appear in the farm hut.

This remark made him feel his own hindsight.He reminded himself that the things that appeared around him probably had some meaning behind them, rather than being born like this.

Apparently, Akamala's farm had actually evolved over a long period of time before it finally took on what it is today.

After returning to the isolated island, he went to Heard's dreamland without stopping.

"……Who are you!"

Hurd turned around sharply, looking in horror at the strange man who appeared in his dream.

Mr. Ghost glanced at him, then looked forward.It was still the scene I had seen last time, the beach, crowds, boats, two Hurds, one fat and one thin.

And standing in front of him at this moment is a haggard Hurd, but with a more normal expression and figure.This made Mr. Ghost a little relieved.It seems that this is the real Hurd.

"Good evening, Mr. Dreyson." Mr. Phantom said quite calmly, "Don't be afraid, I just entered your dream. I am a ghost of a dream."

Hurd: "..."

He gave a dumbfounded expression.

He stammered, "You, ghost?"

"Yes," said Mr. Ghost, "I'll go into the dreams of different people, talk to them, and help them do whatever I can."

"...What good will this bring you?" Hurd asked quite vigilantly.

Mr. Phantom thought to himself, compared to the Hurd who was shivering in the hostel and refused to recognize the reality, this Hurd seemed a lot more mature now.this can be said to be a good thing
