ch 7

I could already see what was going through Sarah's mind as she looked at me first she looked for signs of dangerous mutations although she was a little wary when she examined my eyes next her aura washed over me which was a little surprising as I had assumed that those of this were far more primitive when it came to wielding their internal energies but it was still very crude by my standards I didn't have to wait long as her eyes went wide in surprise after her examination.

Sarah:"How is this possible?" I resisted the urge to roll my eyes

Me:"What?"

Sarah:"Your entire body is filled with the purest natural energies I have ever seen almost like you aren't even human any more even your pancreas is lighting up tell me did you awaken your hero power yet?"

Before I could even answer the door bell to the apartment rang and I already Knew who it was as we had a deal I got up to answer the door much to the displeasure of Sarah opening the door it was no surprise that Randall was eagerly waiting on the other side at least he was until he saw my face and froze.

Randall:"Who?"

Me:"Hey Randall Sarah is already inside"

Randall:"Hector?"

Me:"Yeah, I Know the change was bigger than I was expecting too"

I reexplained my situation leaving out the the alleged witchdoctor that I made up and let Randall believe whatever comforting lie he would tell himself latter although his stay wasn't long as Sarah indicated that she needed to speak with me in private before essentially throwing him out of the apartment.

Sarah:"Hector I want to know if you have given any thought of joining any organization?"

Me:"I didn't know if would even survive the treatment so I haven't planned that far ahead yet but I would like to take some time to think about it while I attend my new school as I Haven't picked a path how I would continue to grow"

Sarah:"Fine, I won't force you to join anything but I would like you to keep Burning Blossom Inc. in mind although it isn't a hero family or a sect, my father owns it so we would give you preferential treatment"

After that she quickly excused herself no doubt to report back to her family about the lost puppy she has been looking after has turned out to be golden goose while I went out to search for female ghost that fit my tastes sure technically I could just use any female ghost but why lower myself to accept just anyone especially when technology makes it so much easier to find them so looked up various beautiful women that have recently died and began to wander around after three whole days of pointless searching I finally found my prize.

The woman truly deserved her untimely demise she was con artist turned gold digging black widow she had built a personal fortune conning people out of their money so that she could swim with bigger fish marrying affluent men then killing them to expand her wealth investing all her money into improving her already substantial beauty using various methods which is why even with the large amounts of suspicion she always quickly found a husband it wasn't until her twelfth husband that she within three years that she met her untimely end where she was murdered by a plutocrate she publicly rejected because refused to let anyone else have her.

Now she is currently haunting her former mansion a temple she dedicated to herself although it has become abandoned it was still decadent as ever the only reason it has remained untouched is that many are still fighting to claim her assets some are secretly fighting for her corpse as even dead she is still easily one the most beautiful women (allegedly there are no pictures of her available) some want to refine her body into an elixir to try and obtain her beauty others for other reasons.... but none of that matters to me as I am here for her ghost which I could sense was near by.

When I snuck onto the property I noticed something strange there was no security at all but what made it weirder still was that there was dozens of people inside the mansion dressed in ritualistic robes with various levels of cultivation and power I decided to get a better look using stealth techniques from the cultivation world which now seemed wholly unnecessary everyone here men and women were devote worshipers willingly offering their essence to feed a ghost as if she was a goddess this was getting far more dangerous than I previously thought she had already crossed the threshold and become a tier three ghost as she possessed her own ghost domain and hasn't been long since she had died before I could ponder more her apparent priestess began her sermon.
