“We can also settle the matter of the eighteen lives who were crushed under the playground.”
The vanity spirit’s expression twisted. She barred her fangs and viciously lunged at Pablo.
“Mind your own business and stay in your lane! We’re all ghosts here…”
Lilly grabbed the ghost by her feet and flung her back!
“Yeah, you’re both ghosts but Master is not some malicious spirit!”
Pablo was shocked. “…”
Is this what it feels like to have my young pupil defending me?!
Stubbornness flitted across his face. “Get her, Lilly!”
“Okay, Master!”
She answered as she looked back. “You have to let go of me first, Josh.”
Josh had long been stuck in a stupor.
Lilly cast the vanity spirit out. A gigantic female ghost as large as a sumo wrestler appeared before him.
“Huh?!”
A… A ghost?!
Lilly had just pushed him off, leaving him unstable on his feet and needing to lean against a tree to support himself.
The moment he looked up, he was greeted by the sight of a deathly pale, young man clad in robes and red lips standing by the same tree. He had no legs…
The man gasped when their gazes met. “You can see me?”
“Ahhhh!”
With a flick of Pablo’s finger, he sent a charm to seal Josh’s mouth.
“Shh… Watch.”
The vanity spirit was stupefied by how Lilly had sent her flying.
She was… sent flying by a four-year-old?
She clambered to her feet and stared at Lilly.
“What kind of thing are you…”
“I’m a person. Not a thing…. Wait, no. I’m a person, a thing… Eh?”
Lilly’s cheeks puffed up in indignation when she realized her words weren’t coming across right.
The vanity spirit scoffed. “Oh, is the little thing angry?”
That had Lilly bristling.
“You’re the thing here!”
She suddenly grabbed the spirit’s leg, picked her up as if she were a sack of flour, and hammered her to the floor with a dull thud.
The vanity spirit was stunned. “…”
“???”
Lilly was livid and oddly so.
The vanity spirit that had been jerked around like a pinball nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.That was just a slip of the tongue. What’s the big deal?!
“Hey…”
“Boom!”
Lilly acted as if she were wrestling a sandbag. The vanity spirit was completely floored by how they were tossed and smacked like flatbread.
She simply had no opening to fight back and it was driving her up the wall.
The brat she had so vehemently looked down on was this powerful?
“Wait!” The vanity spirit yelped.
“No way!”
Do I look like an idiot?!
Why wait for someone who would launch a counterattack against me?
The vanity spirit was furious. “I’m using Cheryl’s body right now! Do you want to injure your little friend that badly?”
She was so afraid that she tried to use Cheryl as a shield, only for Lilly to shoot her down. “She’s not my friend.”
Who cares if she got hurt?
Better to die a dignifying death than one sucked dry by a ghost.
That rendered the spirit speechless. She gritted her teeth as she studied both Pablo and Lilly and ultimately decided that it would be better to make a run for it.
The red bracelet on Lilly’s wrist emitted a faint glow that helped pull the vanity spirit back.
The girl strained herself to continue pinballing the spirit.
As the host of the vanity spirit, Cheryl was also taken for a spin. If it weren’t for the fact that Lilly was grabbing onto the spirit’s foot instead of hers, she would’ve long been turned into a pile of mush.
In truth, she wasn’t faring much better. Her head had visibly swelled up from the impact.
Only a resounding bang could be heard at the last strike as smoke billowed around them.
Lilly successfully cast the spirit out of Cheryl!
Cheryl was out like a light.
Lilly could finally heave a sigh as she wiped the sweat off her brow. “Got you! What now, Master?”
I’m tired.
Catching ghosts is such a tiring job!
Master is such an unreliable guy. This move was all he taught me. It’s such a tiring trick too!
Both Pablo and Josh who were on the sidelines were locked in a stupor.
Josh was bewildered as he muttered, “That’s…so cool…”
My sister isn’t an annoying crybaby. She’s a violent little girl!
She seemed more like a thug that wore rings on every finger and cut down anyone who refused to see her way.
Pablo hadn’t expected Lilly to be so gifted when it came to spiritual power. She could wrestle spirits into submission!
What the hell is that?
Even for the likes of him, it would take considerable effort to separate the evil spirits from their hosts.
And all Tulip had to do was beat them down into submission.
The red bracelet contributed as part of it but it served more as a supportive function.
Her strength could not be demonstrated on the living but it did well against the dead.
It was as if she was born just for this.
Pablo set aside the shock and said, “Remember when I taught you how to use the ghost recovery charm?”
Lilly nodded. “I do. Your painting skills are terrible, Master but I remember.”
He twitched in irritation.
Just say “I remember”. Was all that necessary?
Lilly awkwardly waved her hands and drew the pattern of the ghost recovery charm. A yellow rune manifested in the air, enveloping the vanity spirit and yanking it into the jar of souls.
“No! I refuse to go in there! No!” The ghost screeched.
“Why… Why?! I tried so hard but I never amounted to anything!”
“Why?!”
Lilly didn’t care about the hows or why’s!
She pulled the spirit into the jar of souls with all her might.
The light from the charm was like a huge net that gradually shrank smaller and smaller around the spirit.
The more the spirit struggled, the more the net was stretched taut around her.
Lilly had no choice but to step on the spirit and pull her back.
Pablo helplessly stroked his forehead at the sight. “What a silly girl.”
How badly did the spirit offend you for you to step on them?
“Now you have to ask her how she died,” Pablo said.
They weren’t collecting spirits just for the sake of collecting them. There were more questions to ask.
Figuring out how malignant spirits die will benefit her future knowledge and experience.
Lilly did as she was told. “Hey sumo wrestler, how did you die?”
The vanity spirit glared at the girl with red eyes. “You’re the sumo wrestler!”
“That’s a rebound!”
The vain spirit didn’t know how to respond. “…”
Neither did Pablo and Josh. “…”
The vain spirit became even more manic in her attempts to break free.
Pablo knew she wasn’t going to divulge how she died at this point.
