Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Very quickly, everyone hurried off to do as they were told.

The men hurried to get the salt, while Dorian instructed a few others to push all couches away, as well as remove any carpeting around too.

And as all the work was seemingly going on around them, Mr. Gu and Madam Elvida, who had now sandwiched their son on the couch pushed far away, couldn't help feeling nervous.

They had a hunch that something bizarre was going to happen... but they truly wished they were wrong.

"Dear... what sort of enemy do we have?"

Me. Ghu's throat rolled up anxiously: "I... I don't know. But Sota will be fine."

Hearing this, Lady Elvida seemed to calm down a bit, but unbeknownst to her, her husband was just consoling her.

The tension in the room was so high that he too was sure anymore.

Remembering the wooden box with strange symbols that contained candles, oils, stone pebbles and whatnot... he finally connected 2 and 2 together, and it would be a lie if he said that his mind hadn't drifted there.

But... he was a firm believer of science.

So he hoped that it wasn't what he thought it was.

Soon, he caught himself and smiled bitterly.

Was he already turning into a mentally ill patient?

How could he think like a child?

It was like saying Superman was real?

Thinking like this, Myths you-know-what, couldn't be real, right?

The denial in this Science filled world was too strong and almost as if an invisible hand had been brainwashing the people for millenniums.

You-know-what believers were all mental patients, and that's what everyone thought.

One could get locked up in an asylum for thinking so dangerously.

But... it looks like the 'reality of this world, would soon get shattered.

~Din. Din. Din. Din.

Dorian calmly circled a particular spot before nodding and stretching his hands out to Butler Sheng.

"Master," Sheng answered abruptly and handed the first candle.

With that, they began their work.

And before everyone knew it, the large created an overly large candle circle.

Dorian then looked at the now awake Sota, who still looked as pale as ever.

And upon seeing his gaze, Sota instantly understood and jumped out of his parents' embrace, ready to do anything necessary to get rid of that thing.

At this point, Mr. Ghu and Elvida quickly got up too, staying behind sota very closely.

Windock and Leiji also stayed close by too.

They truly wanted to know what sort of enemy existed that they, the Ghu Dwo Secret force couldn't handle?

In fact, they too had a guess in their minds, but they also threw such a whimsical thought out too.

.

Dorian looked at Sota. "Lie at the centre."

"Yes, Grandmaster Dorian!"

[His parents]: "_"

Looking at their son hurriedly lying down like an obedient peacock, they were somewhat speechless.

Who doesn't know that Sota hated Dorian to the bones?

So, where is all this coming from?

Sota didn't care for his past grievances at all.

What a joke!

If they had been through what he has, then they would also call Dorian grandmaster.

No! They would call him Father.

Even though Sota had been through hell, he had also matured a lot now too.

Once one was put in a life or death situation, their entire life flashed before their very eyes.

And then, they are forced to either make changes to stay the same.

Now, Sota wasn't interested in flashing money to please people anymore.

One could say that he had been reborn from the ashes this too.

Now, he knew that they weren't alone in this world.

So how could his viewpoint still be the same?

Who knew if something else would come after him or his family later on?

He already had a strong hunch that the only person who could help him was Dorian.

Thinking of how gloomy, quiet and cold-face Dorian was growing up... he had to admit that even if it were him, he might've also been the same too after knowing the existence of the 'other side.'

Now, thinking of all the provocations himself and several others used to give Dorian, he felt strangling his former self.

Dorian probably never placed a single one of them in his eyes.

Yes. They were just jumping clowns.

And he couldn't fault Dorian for thinking that because now, he too felt like his so-called supporters/friends were only with him for connections or wealth.

No! He had to assess his life again.

And more importantly, he wanted to protect his family too if something like this ever happens again.

And that's why he decided to follow Dorian.

Sure. he was scared. But compared to the love he had for his family, he was willing to take the risk.

So, he truly respected Dorian and wanted to be whatever Dorian was.

p That was his decision!

.

~Din. Din. Din. Din. Din.~

Finally, over 80 large sacs of salt had been brought in.

These were all the bags of salts in the kitchen.

And Dorian just had 10 opened but didn't pour the salt from them out yet.

As for the 70 sealed-up heavy salt sacs... well, they were for an entirely different matter altogether.

Now, everyone was here, and the doors were all sealed up.

But just to be sure, Dorian had had Butler Shen place several papers on the doors.

Who knows if a few people would try to open it and flee once the real culprit was revealed?

Even the windows were also sealed too.

With the way the humans in this world acted, he wouldn't be surprised if some tried to leave through the windows.

Anything could happen.

And now, with everything truly sealed up, Butler Sheng returned and told everyone breathing around the circle to back up a bit.

These guards were so immersed that they even wanted to step into the circle themselves.

Windock looked at them coldly:" Step Back!"

"Yes, sir."

With that, they continuously stepped back until Butler Sheng nodded in satisfaction and chuckled.

Now they all want to come closer.

But he was looking forward to when they would be backing away instead.

.

Butler Sheng calmly turned around and walked towards Dorian, who in turn was chanting a spell that would angle everyone in the room to listen in on his conversation with Sota... especially the Ghu parents standing brother away.

After all, they were the clients and would pay him for his services.

"Your birth initials."

"Yes, Grandmaster Dorian. It's xxxxx...."

Dorian studied his face for a bit while observing his aura and the various lines on his face.

"Hmmm... Did you and your friends visit the Grindol Cemetery for fun not too long ago?"

Sota's eyes lit up in shock: "Yes! We didn't mean to stop there. But for some reason, while passing along the road close to the cemetery, my car broke down a bit."

"And then, you all decided to begin your pre-party at the cemetery, correct?"

"Yes! Yes! That's right. I already called for help. So we just had to wait and buy time there." Sota said embarrassedly before running his nose: "Y-yes... We decided to party at one of the graves. And for some reason, I felt particularly drawn to one of them."

"No. It wasn't the grave you were drawn to."

Sota tapped his head hard in agreement, finally remembering better: "Yes... It was an old dried-up fountain there covered with vines... But Grandmaster, how did you know?"

Dorian lazily looked at Sota: "Irrelevant."

"_"

.

Well, even though Dorian was too lazy to dive into these matters.

But in the meantime, everyone else was more worried instead.

The guards who were secretly watching nearby at the time had confirmed that he was safe, and had also sent for their men to personally come and fix his car.

When the young master was out with his friends, there were times that he just wanted space.

And so, they tried to act as if they weren't there, or else he would be pissed.

But now thinking about it, their entire bodies were surging in fear.

Did something else happen there that they didn't know of?

And what did the young master Tian mean by saying that something chose Young Master Sota?

At that time, they found that there was actually nothing wrong with the car when they disguised themselves to come up and fix it up.

So, was his stopping there truly because he was chosen?

This... This feeling was bad.

And like a nuclear missile, Dorian looked at everyone calmly and dropped the bomb on them.

"To put it simply, your Young Master Sota was chosen, entered the cemetery and picked up a new friend."

Elvida's heart clenched: "W-w-what new friend?"

"A Hybrid Water ghost"
