As the night grew deeper, it was the perfect time for some people to get started with their business.
After the amusement park had closed for the day, Grace managed to sneak into the park to check out the haunted house.
The young girl had a deep frown on her forehead as soon as she finished looking around the place.
Again?! There's nothing in this place too?!
Grace's hands balled into fists.
I've only managed to capture those two resentful spirits previously.
The Bedlam Asylum and this haunted house were a complete botch.
I've noticed that I'm different from the other kids from a young age. I could understand things like a normal adult would even when I was still a baby who needed milk and diapers.
Around the age of three, I had a strange dream. I've been tasked with the mission of catching ghosts in the realm of the living. Also, I have to collect various types of tears before I reach the age of eighteen. For instance, the tear of remorse, the tear of resentment, the tear of sorrow, and many more.
However, I've only managed to collect the tears of remorse and resentment up to this point. Then, things started to go awry recently. I couldn't catch any ghosts at the site where I was supposed to find one. Or the ghost didn't have the tears that I needed even when I did catch them…
How am I supposed to hit my KPI if the situation continues to go on like this?
Grace was extremely irked and agitated as she stood inside the quiet and desolate haunted house. She couldn't help but kick a nearby prop in her frustration.
"Gah! I'm so pissed!" Grace would only display her true emotions when she was certain that there was no one around.
Suddenly, Grace picked up the sound of something moving swiftly in the distance. She spotted a figure moving very quickly in the shadows out of the corners of her eyes.
"Who's there?!" Grace stared hard at the prop column placed not too far away. She dared not bat her eyelids as she focused all of her attention on that corner.
"Hehe…" She heard a deep voice. "What an interesting young child… Were you born with special gifts?"
Grace felt a chill run down her spine almost instantaneously. She noticed that the voice was coming from a different direction, so she swiftly turned around.
At that very moment, she felt a sharp pain at the center of her chest. It was as if a hot knife was driven to her heart.
Grace let out a gasp due to the immense pain. Sweat beaded her forehead as she clutched at her chest.
The voice was coming from a totally different direction this time. "Very good. You have promising talents. You should become my disciple. What do you say?"
Grace's expression hardened. She replied icily, "How can I ask someone whom I don't even know their name to become my master? Who are you?"
The person hiding in the shadows laughed.
"That's very smart of you. You're trying to find out who I am first. Unfortunately, any adult would be able to see through your intentions."
"I'll give you twelve hours grace. I'm the only person in the world who can undo the spell I've cast over your heart. Either you willingly agree to become my disciple and help carry out my biddings, or you'll have to die…"
"I can't stand the thought of someone as special as you not becoming one of my pawns…"
