Hellbents
Chapter 145: Ghost

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, why? Why?"

Siwon and Ellijah looked at each other. Without explaining, they should understand. There's a stranger who made it into this secret lab. Yet even after Ava had taken the horses, the two were still staring at the girl with a puzzled look.

... Can't they see the whole figure of that man-of-the-

Wait a minute, observed again, the man who sat on the table with the face pongah has a translucent body.

"You can't-"

"They can't see me." The man stood up, but his feet did not tread the floor.

The body is transparent, drifting, and cannot be seen by others .. ghost?

Why did Ava's life path turn genre into horror now?

He slowly stretched out his hand, but his palm only pierced through the foreign man's shoulder just like that, unable to be palpated. But when Ava pulled back her arm, her hand was pushed hard.

A-- What the fuck?

He can't touch it but the ghost can touch it?

"Don't touch me carelessly."

Isn't this kind of setting unfair? If the man was the enemy, Ava would not be able to strike back, defending was difficult.

"Don't put on a pouty face either, it doesn't suit your face."

Then, ... Who was he from earlier talking ngawur?

"It's up to me what to do" Ava whispered sharply. The ghost could not be seen by anyone but himself, so it would be strange if Siwon and Ellijah saw him talking to himself.

"Well, you both suck."

But from the content of the dialogue, he seemed to know Eve. "I assume you know a guy named Eve Weinhamer."

"Well!" The ghost looked up disdainfully, as if what Ava was talking about was a lousy topic. "It's obvious, isn't it?"

... One more troublesome person.

Eve's interpersonal relationships were very messy.

"If you don't intend to help me, yes." The presence of a-no, a ghostly figure was indeed shocking. But Ava still has other business that she must finish soon.

So he went off, ransacked the lab filled with antiseptic and dust, looking for the Necklace of Genesis.

"Hm, your appearance and attitude are the same." Ava was tired of hearing such comments. Yeah, well, Eve's the dopplegger.

"But you're not Eve."

Ava opened the drawers on the table.

"A speck of Eve's soul scent still lags behind you."

Nothing in the drawer. Ava's search turned on the shelves containing the organ jars. Despite the disgust of seeing the contents, he searched with detail every corner of the shelf, it was possible that there was a necklace tucked or hidden among the terrible objects.

"You are also not twins, because twins also have a different soul aroma. Whereas, you and Eve ...."

Ava hurriedly wiped her hands with a handkerchief when touching the wet surface of the jar. Ew.

"Hey! Listen to me!"

Does the jar contain a still beating heart? Gosh darn.

"Hey!"

Sir!

Behind Ava's head was hit, with super reflex the girl was flailing back, but unfortunately her hand was just splitting the air.

Look, the setting is unfair. "I have nothing to do with you" Ava murmured in annoyance.

"But I'm curious!"

"Once again, it's none of my business." Before he returned to his search, what came out of the ghost's translucent mouth caught his attention, "Ah, I know! You must be someone from another dimension!"

Ava was instantly stunned.

Rarely does anyone question her pseudonymous identity as the royal princess of Edodale. The people who knew it, Marvin and Queen Isabel, only thought she was the girl who happened to look the same.

So how did the ghost he had just met directly infer that he was from another world?

Secretly, Ava used her observation skill.

Name: Adam Hanover

Race: Human (Astral)

Level: 353

Speed: (Locked)

Power: (Locked)

Agility: (Locked)

Where: (Locked)

Coin: (Locked)

Skill: (Locked)

Huh huh? Isn't the status of a window like this that's stranger than Ava's that only her name is censored. The level that Adam had was indeed the highest he saw, but all his status points were locked, the skill he had was as well.

Wait a minute, Adam?

Ava took out Eve's journal from her inventory.

A Necklace of genesis can free an individual from the bonds of time. So that the cooldown problem can be resolved, the skill can be applied at any time, during any time. I don't know how Adam could have gotten an artifact that I can't even know the information about, but I think he's useful, too. For now, I have stored the item in my lab in Crimsonwood.

Right, the name "Adam" was mentioned by Eve in-the-well

"Hey, that's my journal!"

Whahuh? Ava looked up, even though the ghost was not breathing, its expression was similar to that of an angry bull, its nose blooming. Meanwhile, Ava only raised one of her eyebrows.

"Well, I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Ava doesn't want to be accused. "Eve gave it to me."

Directly, Adam did not refrain from cursing Eve desperately. Starting from the designation of various types of animals, leading to sacrilegious insults and mental illness.

Well, Eve's been shown to be doing inhumane experiments, so there's nothing preventing her from stealing a book.

"So this journal is yours?"

"You think?!"

"Then I'll return it here." Ava put the journal on the table. After all, he has memorized important recipes so often he makes his own ingredients.

Long Adam just silently grumbled, but in the end, "Argh, just keep it, It's no use to me anymore." Then why are you so upset?

The thing is, the second journal that Ava just got must be properly hidden, the book that contains the zombie outbreak cure recipe. Ava doesn't know who the original owner of the journal was, but it won't give Adam a chance. It is true that the ghost submitted his first journal voluntarily, but it will not guarantee the process for the second journal.

By the way, as stated in the journal. Adam has a connection to the artifact he is looking for, the Necklace of Genesis.

Maybe he knows where it is now?

But ... does he want to help her?

Adam was practically a stranger. At first glance Ava knows that the man's relationship with Eve is in the category of very bad, while Ava has the same face with her enemy. Moreover, he had been trying to ignore the ghostly presence that only he could see. Their first impression was completely chaotic.

Hm, maybe if he took advantage of Adam's bad relationship with Eve, Ava could--

"Don't."

"What?" Ava's path of thought was cut off.

"I can tell if you're working on a strategy. Oh, my God, it's identical to you."

Ava was immediately confused. "I think you're arch-enemies or something. But you and Eve seem close?"

"Near? Huh!" Adam chuckled, his transparent body floating and quivering with a mad laugh. "I'm his slave for life!" The sudden outburst of emotion made Ava rewind her face from discomfort.

"Iiming with success, I innocently followed the attached grandmother. I'm an expert in the field of living things, Eve is struggling with alchemy and magic artifacts. After being locked up here, I was hired desperately without any reward that was no more than eating three meals a day. And now, I'm dead. Aish!"

Not only the kidnapping, but Eve's also taking custody, hm?

Ava still hasn't given up on manipulating him, "I've also been kidnapped from another dimension," drawing sympathy.

"Well! Right, right! You're from another dimension. Grandma's crimes don't know time and space."

"That's why I'm looking for an item that can return me to the original world."

"Ah, is that why you're ransacking this lab?"

"It's true." Is Adam caught?

"Item for dimensional crossing, huh? Hm ...," Ava's waiting, "Oh! The Necklace of Genesis!" Yup!

Relax, Ava should calm down and keep her expression. "You know what?"

"Of course, I brought it to Eve!"

"So where is that item now?"

"Behind the big screen it's gonna be - Wait a minute, you're fucking me!"

Ck, almost.

"Good God, you're the same! Till my goosebumps!"

What did he say just now? Ava stepped her foot toward the large monitor that filled the inner wall, but the monitor stuck to the wall. Will there be another secret room behind it? What can Ava do? The girl looked at the keyboard row in confusion.

"Just go with that big red button."

Ava looked at the ghost floating before her in silence, clearly in disbelief. Not a second did he condemn Ava for successfully making Adam reveal the location of the wanted artifact, it is impossible now he voluntarily told him. After all, the big red buttons in the movies he sees are usually bad omens, self-destructing activations or something like that. "Hehe, I'll explain how to open it if you promise to-"

That's when Siwon came.

"Mama! Mama wants to get rid of god's arthifak?"

Ava almost forgot that Siwon and Ellijah were still here, picking up valuable items. They're more like looters now.

"Huh, this dragon boy just bothers me!"

Ava ignored Adam. "Siwon know how?"

"Mama lupha huh? Kalhau begithu I'll show you."

Aw, sweet boy.

"Heh, wait!"

Siwon became a dragon. Its wings flap parallel to the large screen embedded in the wall. Her tiny palm touched the monitor, a blackish light flashed in, absorbed.

Click!

The key sounds open. The screen broke away from the wall, showing the contents of a nearly deserted safe. But Ava had found what she was looking for.

"No!" Adam mourned his fate.

Inside, there are two necklaces. Siwon cheerfully grabbed the two objects, then immediately put them on Ava's neck.

"Eh?" Adam immediately stopped roaring.

Detecting new ownership

New owner: Raven X

You have gained the soul of Adam Hanover.

Whatisthis?

Adam then giggled, both hands that were translucent failed to hold back his laughter.

The soul of Adam Hanover will be your assistant on the way.

"Horay! And finally! I can finally get out of this godforsaken place!"

Wait, Ava never agreed to this.

"Thank you evil twin Eve. Oh, thank you little dragon, unyu, and cute. Hooray, thank you!"

Ava hurriedly removed the two necklaces hanging from her neck.

Items have a bound function, will not be removable if they do not qualify

In a moment, Ava was tired of Adam who kept chuckling happily.

... He's getting one sticky lump, huh?
