Yang Fan's sudden appearance startled the mysterious ghost, which was skulking along the base of the wall.
This was the first time he had seen such a vivid expression on a ghost's face.
Though, to be fair, he hadn't seen many.
Yet the ghost's expression quickly regained composure. Its startled body swayed momentarily backward before swiftly returning to normal, coolly and eerily drifting past Yang Fan.
"Hey!"
Yang Fan called out softly.
He wanted to test if the thing could actually hear him speak.
To his surprise, the ghost truly halted in its steps. With its head down in a bizarre angle, it twisted to look at Yang Fan, seemingly to confirm he was indeed calling to it.
"Heh, you actually understand human speech. Wait, that's a bit of a dumb question. You were human before, so of course you should understand me!" Yang Fan chuckled, as his right hand, clutching the wooden mace, readied itself.
"Right, let me ask you something. Can those below the Spirit Level like you speak?"
