CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 218: THE TRAVELER REN TINGTING

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Exactly! In a supernatural world, not seeing ghosts would be strange.

Curly-haired Guy: No, there are no ghosts in this world! They’re all Stand Users—only Stand Users!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Gin still can’t face reality?

Doujin Artist: This guy’s hopeless. He’s so scared of ghosts he’s beyond saving. Take him away.

Curly-haired Guy: Shut up! I’m not scared! Why would I be scared of something that doesn’t even exist?

Doujin Artist: Doesn’t exist? Yeah right. Uncle Nine’s world is full of them.

Curly-haired Guy: Like I said, those aren’t ghosts—they’re Stand Users!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hahaha! Stand Users, that’s awesome. I’m done being human, JOJO!

Amegakure Village’s Angel: What’s that supposed to mean?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: A JOJO reference. It’s pretty popular here.

Doujin Artist: Same here. But after the world changed, the show stopped airing. Looks like the author moved overseas.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: So tragic. A disaster on that scale is really scary.

Machete Girl: Guys, you’re off-topic again, aren’t you? Shouldn’t we be talking about Uncle Nine’s situation right now?

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Yeah. If something surprised Uncle Nine, it’s probably not a normal ghost.

Wig Guy: There are normal and not-normal ghosts?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: According to our local traditions, yes. Ghosts are divided into many types, like fierce ghosts, violent ghosts, vengeful ghosts, hanging ghosts, substitute ghosts... Different types have different abilities.

Wig Guy: Learned something new.

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: But it seems like not every world has ghosts?

This is an Actor: Whether ghosts exist after death depends on the rules of that world. Because the rules are different, that’s why this difference exists.

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Oh, I see.

Shark-Faced Guy: That makes sense now.

Doujin Artist: We’ve been talking so much here, but where’s Uncle Nine? What’s going on over there?

Lin Fengjiao: Sorry, I lost my composure earlier. I saw something strange.

Wig Guy: ?

Doujin Artist: How strange are we talking? Did you see an octopus floating in the sky or something?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft, if you saw that, you’d better use the world-jumping function and run. Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to kill yourself.

Lin Fengjiao: I’m not sure what you two mean, but I’m glad I didn’t see an octopus. [Image]

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Is... that an invader?

When the image opened, what appeared before Konan was a pretty girl in a yellow dress. Konan had read the original Mr. Vampire story, so she knew this was the heroine, Ren Tingting.

But something was clearly wrong with this Ren Tingting because there was a greenish halo above her head.

Machete Girl: That’s an invader. The halo is exactly the same as the one Makoto Ito had, except for the color. Uncle Nine, try focusing on the halo, and you’ll see her full info.

Lin Fengjiao: Got it, thanks.

Lin Jiu let out a breath and focused on the halo above Ren Tingting’s head.

[Invader: Human]

[Invasion Mode: Soul Possession]

[Invasion Level: 1]

[World Destruction: 1]

[Hostility: 0]

[Sin Value: 0]

[Points for killing: 5]

[Origin: This invader came from Blue Star. After being hit by a truck, her soul possessed this body.]

[Strategy Tip: This is a harmless traveler with a bit of cleverness. She can’t resist your power. Maybe you can use your specialty to... train her?]

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ? What does that last line even mean?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, I want to know too. Uncle Nine, your specialty sounds kinda weird. Why does it let you "train" people?

Amegakure Village’s Angel: What’s Uncle Nine’s specialty anyway?

Machete Girl: Catching ghosts, I guess. But obviously, ghost-catching can’t be used to train people.

Curly-haired Guy: If that’s the case, maybe the old man has some hidden talent he hasn’t shown yet.

Doujin Artist: So that’s what you’re really like, Uncle Nine? Be honest—what’s your hidden talent?

Lin Fengjiao: ?

Lin Jiu was completely confused. He had no idea what to say. He didn’t even know what "train" meant in this context, so how could he answer?

Soul Society’s Villain: Forget it, I bet he doesn’t even know himself. But wow, there are completely harmless invaders like this? Can you even call that an invader?

This is an Actor: According to the group’s definition, crossing from another world into this one is, by nature, an invasion. Whether it’s intentional or not, that doesn’t change.

Amegakure Village’s Angel: But I don’t think that definition is right. Only those who cause destruction should be called invaders. If they behave and follow the rules, why call them that?

This is an Actor: The group rules also need to stand on the moral high ground to criticize. Otherwise, we members won’t feel like we’re justice warriors. And when that time comes, how can we feel justified in kicking out these intruders?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Do the group rules have a grudge against these so-called intruders?

This is an Actor: Of course not, they’re just there to help us grow.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I get it now. From our perspective, the group rules are for our own good. But from the intruders’ perspective, not so much.

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Everything has two sides. That’s what Anzen once called dialectics.

Machete Girl: So, what are we going to do about this green-looking traveler?

Doujin Artist: Green-looking... Kotonoha-chan, that’s quite an image.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I don’t know why, but just seeing that halo on her head makes me feel pity and sympathy for her.

Curly-haired Guy: Pfft, Gin-san, I thought I was the only one who found the green glow on her head strange. Guess I’m not alone.

This is an Actor: In modern Chinese culture, someone wearing green on their head usually means they’ve been NTR’d. As for the traveler’s issue, better let Lin Jiu, the one involved, handle it.

Doujin Artist: Pfft, a sign of NTR?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: So that’s what it means!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Thanks, Anzen-san. Rati learned something new today.

Curly-haired Guy: Old man, remember to livestream when you start training her. Gin-san has a friend who wants to watch.

Doujin Artist: You should poke your friend’s eyes out so they’ll never see anything again.

Lin Fengjiao: What does "training" even mean?

Lin Jiu couldn’t hold back his curiosity anymore and sent a message asking.
