Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

However, no matter how bad the plot is, it has nothing to do with Xiao He.

After all, he's not the main character.

but......

Thinking of this, Xiao He subconsciously looked at the teddy bear standing on the desk.

Moreover, it wasn't just Xiao He; even the Spider-Man and the Ghost turned their attention to it.

At this moment, feeling several gazes falling on him, Jack suddenly looked bewildered.

Why are all these Ghost Masters staring at me?

Just as Jack was feeling a growing tension, Xiao He's expression also became somewhat strange. Then, in a meaningful tone, he said, "You're the thief, aren't you?"

In the aforementioned plot of Ghost, the turning point was the thief who sneaked into He Anfu's office.

And this bear doll named Jack seems to be the thief.

"I'm not a thief, I'm a detective."

Upon hearing that Xiao He had mistaken him for a thief, Jack's expression immediately became quite agitated.

"But your behavior is almost no different from that of a thief."

At this moment, Spider-Man also said, "Although the Alliance has granted you detectives certain powers, the use of these powers is based on legality."

Hearing this, Ghost nodded silently to himself.

Upon hearing this, Jack's face stiffened, and even his movements seemed to freeze.

After all, those few ghost hunters weren't wrong; his sneaking into He Anfu's office to look for clues was indeed no different from that of a thief.

But Jack didn't consider himself a thief; he was just using extraordinary means in extraordinary times.

However, despite this, Jack knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't try to argue any further.

However, Xiao He and the others did not focus on whether Jack was a thief or not, but rather on what he did to provoke the doll and cause this tragedy.

The ghost, who should have known the most about this matter, shook his head and explained, "The memories recorded on those soul fragments are also fragmented, so I can only understand the general situation through these fragments. I'm not very clear about some of the specifics."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Jack again.

"I......"

Jack paused slightly, his tone hesitant, and said, "I can't remember either."

Upon hearing this answer, Xiao He and the others all fell into deep thought.

Although they were still at the factory, Xiao He and Spider-Man had already learned from the detective named Jack that the situation only occurred after Jack discovered a letter on the princess doll and picked it up.

Moreover, according to his confession, he didn't even open the letter or read its contents before the dolls in the office came to life, and then he became one of the dolls.

As for the contents of that letter, no one knows now.

So they guessed that perhaps it was simply because the detective named Jack picked up the letter that the eerie creature was stimulated, turning him into a doll and the surrounding dolls into monsters.

Then, the ghost continued to talk about why the strange creature kept muttering "damn it, damn it."

As mentioned before, the core of that strange entity is the soul of He Anfu's daughter, He Fei.

In the fragments of her memory, He Fei believed that the reason He Anfu was so busy with his career and neglected his family was because of this factory. Therefore, she thought that if all the employees in the factory had died, He Anfu might not have been so busy with his career.

Of course, this logic is completely wrong.

But children's views are completely different from adults', so it's normal for He Fei to think this way.

At that moment, Xiao He also voiced his doubts.

Why did the princess doll only appear at the very end, instead of when he and Spider-Man were fighting those dolls?

Does this mean that all the bosses in this world are the same, waiting until all their subordinates are dead before they can make a move?

When asked this question by Xiao He, the ghost paused slightly before slowly replying, "Because while you were dealing with those dolls, that monster was asleep."

That eerie creature, resembling a princess doll, possessed the ability to grant dolls lifelike qualities, but this ability came at a price.

The price to pay is that strange part of the soul.

The reason those dolls have life is because that strange creature separated a part of its soul and then injected it into the dolls' bodies.

This is why those dolls not only possess life like living people, but also have power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, because that strangely divided soul had too many parts, it also fell into a deep sleep.

This is why the strange creature never appeared during Xiao He and the Spider Man's "mattering of the factory".

"So that's how it is."

A look of sudden realization flashed in Xiao He's eyes.

This ability was roughly the same as the one he had initially guessed, but he hadn't expected the ability to split the soul.

He had assumed that the strange ability of that creature was to directly bring inanimate objects to life.

But now it seems that this is equivalent to weakening one's own power and then creating a clone.

While this increases the quantity, it also reduces the quality.

"So it seems this ability isn't all that great."

Xiao He thought to himself.

However, the next second, he thought again that this ability might come in very handy in special circumstances.

After all, no one in any world possesses the power of being trash. What others see as trash is merely treasure in the wrong place. But...

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly thought of something.

If this teddy bear named Jack isn't lying.

So this strange ability doesn't just seem to be able to give life to dolls; it seems it can even turn a person into a doll!

At this moment, a weak voice rang out, interrupting Xiao He's deep thoughts.

"Um... my esteemed masters of the demons, do you think I still have a chance to change back?" Jack asked hesitantly.

Although he is a detective, he is also interested in strange things.

But he is still more concerned about whether he will be able to live a decent life in the future.

Oh no, I mean, will I be able to recover and become a human again in the future?

"Feel sorry."

The ghost looked at Jack: "I can't give you a definite answer right now, but..."

She paused here, her expression turning serious: "In the coming period of time, you may have to say goodbye to your past life."

Jack's eyes widened: "Why?"

The ghost was silent for a moment, then explained, "Because..."

"Because we suspect that you may have incorporated some of the strange power of that creature during this bizarre incident."

At this moment, the spider-man explained on behalf of the ghost: "You are now very likely... no, you are absolutely no longer human."

Upon hearing this, Jack was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Is he no longer human?

How can he not be human?

Although he really doesn't look like a human being now.

Upon overhearing the conversation between the ghost and the spider man, Xiao He immediately realized something. He glanced at the bear doll that seemed to be on the verge of collapse and thought to himself, "I never thought I would encounter something like this."

According to records on the Ghost Night Bureau's internal network, the only way for humans to obtain supernatural power, besides using supernatural objects, is to become one with the supernatural.

But not everyone can successfully blend in with the eerie.

Although the alliance has summarized several fusion methods that are only slightly better than the near-death experience, one of them is to throw a person into a bizarre event. If the person survives, they are likely to be affected by the bizarre power and thus possess some of its power.

This can be considered an alternative method of fusion.

However, compared to those who genuinely merge with a complete and bizarre being, this method can only be considered opportunistic.

However, the success rate of this method is much higher than that of fusing a complete monster.

And now, this detective named Jack is very likely to be one of them.

The ghost had previously stated that the strange ability to give life to dolls was essentially to separate a part of its own soul, thereby giving birth to a new life.

That means that Jack may have merged with a portion of that strange soul and thus gained some of its strange power, which means...

"This guy might very well be recruited into the Night Demon Division and become a Night Demon Master?"

Thinking of this, Xiao He immediately pictured himself carrying a teddy bear with him on future missions.

Just then, the ghost explained something to Jack, and what he explained was exactly what Xiao He had been thinking.

"this......"

Jack hesitated slightly upon hearing this.

But he felt inexplicably excited.

Only now has he realized that this was actually a blessing in disguise.

Especially when he heard the beautiful Ghost Master say that he was very likely to obtain strange powers and had a high chance of joining the Ghost Night Division, his previous dejected expression changed, and he became somewhat spirited.

As a detective, he naturally knew the significance of the Ghost Master.

He never dreamed that he would have the chance to become a Ghost Master.

The ghost seemed to have anticipated Jack's reaction. She glanced at Jack, who was chuckling to himself, and continued, "However, you will have to undergo some risk assessments and stability tests before you can join the Night Demon Division and become a Night Demon Master."

"Furthermore, for the next period of time, you will need to cooperate with our work to test and analyze that strange ability."

To put it bluntly, Ghost and the others still don't trust Jack, this bear puppet.

After all, in this bizarre incident, he was the only one who turned into a doll, and he was the only doll who possessed the thoughts of an adult and could speak.

Moreover, the ghost had something else on its mind.

Although that weird creature seems to need a human soul as its core, and although she has shattered its core, who can guarantee that it won't be "reborn" using Jack's body, that is, the bear doll's body?

Since the establishment of the Night Demon Division, apart from the headquarters, many tragic incidents have occurred in its branches in other cities due to the capture of the supernatural beings. All of this ultimately stems from humanity's disregard for the supernatural.

What makes it so eerie and terrifying is its unknown abilities.

Even though the Alliance has gone to great lengths to study the abilities of the Bizarre, a new Bizarre is born almost every moment on the land under its jurisdiction.

Therefore, when encountering a strange creature with unknown abilities, the fate of the monster tamer is most likely to be death.

Fortunately, they were lucky this time. Although this monster was not recorded by the Alliance and was a newly appeared monster, it consumed most of their soul power. Spider-Man's side also used Ghost, a monster tamer who specializes in soul power, so they did not suffer any casualties this time.

"So... is there anything I need to do next?"

After hearing the ghost's explanation, Jack couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Perhaps it was because he had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of a rope for ten years, that he now felt inexplicably disturbed and even had a hidden fear in his heart whenever he thought of that strange thing that turned him into a doll.

"Regarding your situation, headquarters will send someone to handle it. So, in the coming days, besides cooperating with our work, you just need to stay here and do nothing else."

"oh oh!"

Jack nodded somewhat reluctantly.

You can run from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. It seems he's destined to become the key figure in the Night Demon Division's research on that strange bridge.

There was nothing he could do; he was just unlucky enough to encounter that strange creature.

However, Jack thought to himself that it wasn't all bad luck. After all, he had also benefited from that strange creature, which gave him the opportunity to join the Night Demon Division and become a Demon Master.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined.

But even now, Jack still can't get over one hurdle in his mind: his barely-handsome, unattractive appearance.

If he could, he would prefer to have the best of both worlds: to possess the strange abilities to join the Night Demon Division, and to be able to return to his human form.

"Oh right, what's my ability again?"

Thinking about this, Jack was also a little curious about what kind of ability he possessed.

However, no matter what Jack tried, he couldn't make any changes.

He seemed to be nothing more than a talking doll.

At the same time, after Ghost finished explaining things to Jack, her communicator suddenly rang. After glancing at the contents, she turned her gaze to Xiao He, who was deep in thought.

"The boss is back and is waiting for you on the third floor."

"what?"

Xiao He was slightly taken aback.

Is the boss of the Binhai City Ghost Night Division, who only exists in Spider Man's words, finally going to appear?
