Since the body was saved by Jimmy

the loyal bobcat, so a proper funeral

was held. Although it might not be too

important considering that lingo was

already dead before ghosts tried to take

his body away. One question however,

is why they wanted Jingo's body? Again,

hes already dead and can't be killed

again. Perhaps they wanted to butcher

Jingo's body? Maybe they feed on the

body or it might have something to do

with the dark arts of magic. When it

comes to ghosts, a normal citizen can't

predict correctly considering how

discreet ghosts are most of the times

After the funeral, most people speed

walked towards their homes. This

situation got the whole village shaken,

some are even tad traumatized although

not harmed by anything. And since

Jingdo doesn't have any family members

here, it was a bigger motivation to scram

And perhaps it was a good idea to do

so, as what they've met with would

shake any soul to its deepest root. Old

William appeared in front of them, but

how can that be? He's supposed to be

good as dead! Well it looks like he still

is, what represents William is a shade of

black, shaped like a human but Ambers

can notice quite well who it is. The...

seemingly ghost of William, has rushed

towards Chief Ambers and stopped on

his spot once reaching her. Panicking

inside but not willing to break just yet,

she looks at Delion and asks. "You see

this too right?" "Yes." Delion answers

and hurries towards the lady, wanting

to pull her away from possible trouble

"Kushak ratis lum" "Herttettet" "Kaskat

pajder rushulutakat at "Aaaaaaaaaat”

The figure representing old William

tried to speak but regardless of attempt.

doesn't manage to say anything that

makes sense. At this point, chief Ambers

is frozen on her spot, Ghost sightings

were faced before but never like this

William is of the deceased, a soul and it

trying to communicate as well. "That's

gibberish..." Delion pointed out the

obvious, pulled Ambers further away

from William's soul. Right after, they see

Jimmy the bobcat rushing to the scene,

apparently he has broken out of Amber's

house somehow. Reaching the graveyard.

It leaps against old William's soul! But

to Delion's surprise especially, Jimmy

goes right through the potential enemy

and lands on the other side, having it

hard to stand on his feet and puking

out this dark liquid. "Jimmy!" Delion

yells and actually gains the courage

to take a swing against William who

just isn't going away. Kinda touching

William, more like swiping his arm

across thin air, through that split second

Delion almost felt like his soul is being

drained out of his body! Right after.

he pukes out the same dark liquid that

Jimmy hurled, falling on the ground,

draining the detective's energy quickly?

Now with even less hesitation. William

approaches the chief a tad closer while

she's still frozen in fear. Delion wants

to stand up but he can't stop hurling

and therefore is clinging the left hand

on Amber's ankle. William continued

to speak in gibberish but finally, one

word came out understable. "Jingo.

And right after, in a split second, the

soul of William disappears faster than

the eye can blink. Leaving traumatized

people and the dark shaded foot

steps over the ground he stepped on.

What's more interesting, there are 3

other men here. Living men, they are

villagers who attended the funeral. Yet

all 3 were paralyzed in fear more than

chief Ambers was, unwilling to make

a step forward and as if paralyzed

when it came to running away.... This

situation this whole murder spree and

the paranormal activies coming with

it, well it is heavily draining. Especially

for Delion and Ambers who are trying

to solve everything. Everything is going

for everything in this case is working

against the detective's favour. Even

the bobcat whom they considered ap

an advantage, almost died puking out/

(dark liquid. Jimmy is okay, but like what

it did to Delion, the feline has become

tremendously tired. It's not easy to

puke out 10 liters of whatever that was

and however it entered the digestive

tract: Now, the two attempting trouble

solvers have walked in to Ambers"

house, to relax and think more about

this bizarre case. Ambers decided before

to never enter this house again, but the

emotional damage of seeing a tough guy

like Delion, clinging on her leg like life

itself depended on it, is far worse than

seeing a man nailed on her wall. Well

at least that's how Ambers sees it, truly

damaging. Considering that one way

or the other Delion is facing the worst

damage, although surviving each one.

The lady decided that the agreed pay

isn't nearly enough of a compensation

for all of this that would break 10 men.

Therefore, she offers. "You can drop

this case if you want to. Don't get me

wrong but I don't want to see you dead!!

Highly disagreeing. Delion recites "

doesn't matter what you want to see. I

told you, this has become personal. Selia

will suffer and I will be the inflictor.""

Her tone raising, willing to shun this

detective away for the sake of living,

the lady thunders. And how are you

going to do that Delion? With a car? Roth

if you almost died and William's soul

didnt even have to attack." Actually

calm, half ignoring the yelling lady,

Delion murmurs. "Maybe there's a

difference between souls and ghosts.

Jimmy beatted up a few ghosts, it was

hilarious when they kept screaming

Not understanding how this man is

smiling at a time like this while mostly

he has an attitude of a wild boar in

labour, the chief expresses herself tad

calmer now. "Delion, sex isn't enough

for this." "What do you mean?" Delion

questions, staggered of who's having

intimate interactions throughout a

murder spree. "Isn't that what we agreed

on? You took the case because I'm

supposed to have sex with you once the

case is solved" She is tad shy to say this

but the trauma is shunning the rest of

the usual embarrassment away. "Oh..."

Delion murmured, understanding what

the lady meant from the very beginning

and therefore contradicting "I thought

you meant something else." Staggered by

how the wise and unbeatable detective

could have slipped at such a sensitive

deal. Ambers immediately asks. Then

what did you think? I thought you

wanted that since..." "No no, well I do

but not like this." Delion expressed,

realizing what he just said, the man

became tad embarrassed but is well

trained to not show emotion. Finally, be

clears out. "I accepted the case thinking

that the reward will be forgiveness. I'm

really sorry about our past Mealizing

that she embarrassed herself in more

than a bunch of ways, the lady's cheeks?

become tad red while uttering. "God...

I'm so stupid. I thought you wanted to...

And finally proving himself human,

Delion weighs in. "Well I do, don't get me

wrong. But not like this.. I know that I

don't show much emotions but did you

really think that I'm that cruel? To use

your desperation like that? Tad harsh

but not hesitant, the lady cites. "Well

I got to know you up close, there are

little things you wouldn't do." Since this

topic is open, Delion wants to use the

opportunity to finally get wat he wants

Therefore, he bends the knee, touching

the lady's feet and adds "I'm sorry about

your father Elizabeth Ambers. I'm sorry

about sending him to jail years ago, I was

framed as much as he was. Never seeing

Delion break down his ego to this point.

Ambers feels her ego broken for putting

such a tough man to this point. So she

immediately assures while helping the

man stand up. "It's okay, the damage is

already done and my father is dead. And

We were all done wrong. so I forgive

you." Looking at the man eye to eye, she

offers. Looks like you cleaned my house

up earlier, this place has never shined

this much. So how about I give you

the reward I intended to give Never

expecting that the situation will ascend

for the better this quickly. Delion has the

absolute audacity to joke "I would love

that but let me pee out the William juice

first or it can get filthy."
