Chapter 33: Conditions of his Parents.

Previously when he had seen the king of the Ghost, he was himself in a spirit form since at this point he was dead as his body was buried in the jungle by Mr. Sloan's men as he was killed by him, and when finally he was able to get into his human body he did not see the Ghost King and its minions anymore as if they did not exist. So now when the Ghost King appeared again Hansen felt as if there was a deathly aura around the man before him.

It was a surreal experience. The atmosphere had become cold with a white mist all around the place.

Rummmmbleeeeeeeeeeeeee

Rrrruuumbleeeeeeeeeeeeee

And then there was lightning but there seemed to be no clouds in the sky as the moon was visible with a shade of red as if it was bleeding.

Owwwwwwuuuuuuuuuu

The hyenas were howling as if welcoming the dead.

Then came a burst of laughter in a booming manner as if shaking the surrounding atmosphere.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

The Ghost King appeared in front of Hansen and was looking as if a demon had appeared to devour its prey. 

The minions who were surrounding the Ghost King and Hansen were all looking at the boy with greed as if they wanted to feed on his soul right now but were held back by the Ghost King.

Ghost King said with a booming voice: "Boy why have you come to this jungle seeking me? I have already given you your body and soul back so you are alive now but if you keep coming here and summoning the Ghost it will be difficult for me since my lackeys want to feed on a soul since it has been a long time since my people have feasted on a soul and after all, it has been only a few weeks since you got your life back and you are already back. Are you unhappy with your life and do not wish to live anymore?"

While the Ghost King was addressing Hansen and saying this all the minion Ghosts that were surrounding Hansen and the Ghost King were getting restless as if they were not able to control themselves to feed on Hansen but somehow they had held themselves back.

Hansen Looking around himself clearly felt he was in a dangerous situation and then understanding the severity of the circumstances he collected his thoughts and replied to Ghost King: "Sir I thank you for being so magnanimous to me and blessing me with these powers after all whatever I am today is because of these powers and the Multiverse Prime System. However, there is something that I am struggling with very much. A few months ago I had lost my parents when I went on a trip out of the station and since then I have been missing them. For me, my parents are the most important thing in my life. I love them and wish to be with them. I have tried to find them by all means and tried everything in my capability but could not get a clue about their whereabouts. I do not even know if they are alive or not. I will do anything and everything to find them and without my parents, I do not want this life. I did not have any other way and as a last resort I have come to you."

Though Hansen was feeling nervous with so many Ghost surrounding him and with the overbearing presence of the Ghost King however when he remembered the cause for which he had to visit the jungle he made his mind firm and narrated all that had happened to him and what he wanted exactly the way it happened to the Ghost king without hiding any single detail.

Ghost King, a Demon who had lived for thousands of years, was amazed by the boy's determination and persistence. Also, he liked the devotion and loyalty of Hansen towards his parents after all it was tough to find people who loved their parents so much these days.

The Ghost King said: "Hmmmm! I liked your loyalty towards your parents and since you loved your parents so much I will help you to find your parents. I have helped you previously also by giving you your body back but that was because it was an order from the higher being of the universe but this time there is no such compulsion. So for every help I provide you have to give me something back. After all nothing is free in this world so what will you offer for me to help you this time?"

Hansen was overjoyed since Ghost King was ready to help him so he replied: "Sir I am ready to do anything you want. Even if you want to take this life back and want to feed on my soul and body I am ready to do that as well."

Ghost King was amazed by the boy's determination again and how much the boy loved his parents. After all, love is the most precious thing in this world, and the rest are all momentary.

The Ghost King said: "It's good that you are willing boy however we do not need your soul after all I had to give you your body back since it was an order from the Higher being. However, I will need souls for my minions to eat after all they have been hungry for thousands of years. Do you agree to provide me with souls?"

Hansen was pressurized at that moment however he kept his cool after all he had already offered himself to the Ghost King to be fed upon however he did not want to be a person who would kill other people and supply their souls for his purpose after all he was not a selfish person but then he thought about the people of did crime and had become a thorn for the society and its people he can always go for them.

Ghost King extended his hand and a ring with a skull engraved on it materialized on his hand which he presented to Hansen.

The Ghost King said: "This ring is capable of devouring the soul and body of the species which had met its death recently so whoever you kill in the future extend this ring towards them and their body with their soul will be sent to us to be feasted upon."

Ghost King presented the powerful ring to Hansen which was glowing like the sun in his hands and Hansen accepted the ring as soon as the ring came into contact with Hansen it merged with Hansen's soul and got attached to his ring finger automatically.

Hansen, seeing the ring getting attached to his finger, became a bit nervous and tried to take it out to examine it, however the ring was attached to his finger as if it was a part of his body.

The Ghost King, understanding Hansen's predicament said: "You do not have to worry about hiding this ring since this will not be visible to anybody else."

The Ghost King said, "And now I will help you locate your parents." 

Ghost King extended his hand and a ray of light shot out from his hand which stopped in mid-air and created a circle and then inside the circle it displayed some scene like a projector.

Inside the circle, there was a scene where a middle-aged man and a woman were scantily dressed in rags but could be identified that the rags were actually expensive clothes which indicated either they were very old or they had been in tough situations where even their expensive clothes had turned into rags. The man and woman both had bruises all over their body and were sleeping together holding onto each other on the hard floor in a dark and uncleaned room. This man and woman were Hansen's parents as he identified them.

Hansen had tears in his eyes since at last he was able to see his parents with the help of the Ghost King and was relieved that they were alive.
