Chapter 93: Two Ghosts


    <em></em>


    While Miles was fixated on his mobile phones disy, a sudden email notification surged onto the screen. It unveiled a peculiar file name: Supernatural Event File of Yellow Hill Vige, Spear City.


    He scrolled down to find more information:


    An unexinable and supernatural event urred on a specific date in Yellow Hill Vige, located within the premises of Spear City. In just one night, the entire vige and its residents mysteriously disappeared.


    An apanying satellite image followed this shocking revtion.


    In the image, it was evident that every structure, every viger, and even animals like chickens, ducks, and dogs that once popted the vige had vanished without a single trace. It was a haunting emptiness.


    It looked as though someone had meticulously erased the vige from a meticulously drawn map, resulting in an unsettling void.


    Yet, within this vast emptiness, there was one anomaly.


    At the exact heart of where the vige was, an uncanny object was visible: a coffin.


    The images rity was astonishing. Miles could make out the shape, color, and even the tiniest features of the coffin. It was eerily simr to one he hade across in a mortuary not long ago.


    But a notable difference stood out: the coffin ced at the heart of the vanished vige was ajar. Standing next to it was a hazy human silhouette.


    The figure was obscured.


    It seemed as though some external force interfered, rendering even the state-of-the-art satellite incapable of capturing a crisp image.


    Merely three days after this bewildering urrence, Yellow Hill Vige reemerged. Yet, its residents remained absent, transforming it into an eerie ghost town overnight.


    The unprecedented event sent shockwaves through Spear City. Consequently, a ghost tamer named Frank was assigned to unravel the mystery.


    The document hinted that this individual named Frank could very well be the predecessor of Right before he became Spear Citys City Head.


    As Miles continued to read on, he quickly got the details of what followed in the ensuing investigation.


    At 12:50 PM: Ghost Tamer Frank made his way into Yellow Hill Vige. By 1:15 PM, he had officiallymenced his investigation.


    The subsequent details were sparse, but what followed was a chillingmunication transcript:


    All vigers have disappeared, likely due to sinister spirits.


    For safety reasons, I limited my time in the vige.


    I came across the open coffin, but the figure beside it from the satellite image was missing. My instincts tell me it could be a dangerous spirit, but I cant determine the threat level.


    I didnt notice any unusual activity today. Nevertheless, Ive chosen to risk an overnight stay in Yellow Hill Vige to establish if the spirit genuinely haunts this ce.


    During the night, I detected footsteps outside.


    The malicious ghost has manifested.


    My circumstances have be precarious. Theres an unsettling aura about this vige, and Im concerned I might be trapped. Its essential to iste the vige immediately.


    Ive exhausted all means at my disposal. But let this be a stern warning: NEVER tamper with that coffin.


    Themunication ended there, offering only these fragmented yet foreboding sentences.


    From the limited exchange in the transcript, it bes painfully clear that the ghost tamer named Frank probably encountered a tragic fate within the confines of Yellow Hill Vige. It seems he might not have left the vige alive.


    Furthermore, there are evident gaps in the conversation, pointing to some kind of selective editing. The missing details are likely of paramount importance. One cant help but wonder, After Yellow Hill Viges mysterious disappearance and reappearance, is it even the same vige that stood there originally?


    Miless grip on his phone tightened, and he pondered aloud, If this isnt the original vige, then who are its current inhabitants?


    He observed the scene unfolding around him. Vigers congregated at the memorial hall, elderly residents chatted amiably in the alleyways, and the overall atmosphere exuded a sense of normalcy. Except for the ghosts lingering presence, everything else seemed perfectly usual.


    Miles was taken aback by a disturbing thought, Could it be possible that the original residents vanished and these vigers are, in fact, apparitions?


    This unsettling realization sent a cold tremor down his back.


    He locked eyes with an elderly woman diligently washing clothes outside her home. She reciprocated his gaze with a benign smile. Miles couldnt detect any ghostly vibes from any of the vigers.


    He mentally backtracked, thinking, This hypothesis doesnt hold water. Its inconceivable that all the vigers are spirits. Theres no way this many phantoms could exist here, especially without any telltale signs or influence from malevolent entities.


    Quickly, he dismissed this unsettling theory.


    Miles had encountered individuals under ghostly influence before. Such individuals emanated a unique energy distinctly different from regr humans. However, these vigers did not exude any such aura.


    Yet, a perplexing question lingered: How have these vigers managed to coexist in this ce for an extended period without falling prey to sinister spirits? Moreover, were they oblivious to the fact that the original Yellow Hill residents had mysteriously vanished post the initial paranormal incident?


    Franks dire warning also added to the growing list of mysteries.


    What did Frank imply by advising against interacting with the coffin? What catastrophic events might unfold if it were tampered with?


    While other matters can be put on the back burner, our immediate objective should be to restrain the malevolent entity within that coffin. That much is clear, Miles reflected. But whats ambiguous is the possibility of another spirits presence in this vige. The ghost causing the eerie cough and the entity responsible for Sheng and Tians demise might not be the same. If this suspicion holds merit, then where could the second spirit be lurking?


    Miles was now in two minds about his next move.


    He surmised a deep-rooted link between the two spirits.


    While one spirit exuded sheer malevolence  so potent that it could im the life of a ghost tamer  the other appeared less aggressive. In addition, thetter seemed to consistently gather ghost tamers, shielding them from istion and a subsequent grim fate.


    If this spection were urate, their primary objective should be capturing the malevolent force ountable for the tragic end of the two ghost tamers.


    The repercussions of wrongly imprisoning the benign spirit, the one that seemingly acted as a check on the malevolent entity, could be catastrophic. The hostile ghost could wreak unimaginable havoc without the moderate spirit to counterbnce its malevolent counterpart.


    Miles felt a cold realization dawning upon him, a mixture of horror and apprehension coursing through his veins.


    He silently expressed gratitude for his decision the previous night. Instead of taking hasty actions, he had wisely chosen to patiently assess the situation, which now seemed moreplex than he initially believed.


    The ambiance shifted abruptly with the roar of high-powered engines. Three sleek sports cars had roared onto the scene,ing to a screeching halt beside the roadway.


    Miles! Oh, thank God, youre safe. Things have spiraled out of control. The malevolent ghost has created a barrier around the vige. We tried to drive out, but our escape was thwarted, forcing us to retreat back to the vige. The ghost ambushed usst night, and for a moment, we were certain youd fallen prey to it. Evidently, we became its primary targets. Our swift reflexes saved us, or else the vige would have witnessed another death. Stretch, visibly shaken, emerged from one of the vehicles, recounting the terrifying ordeal of the previous night.


    Regaining hisposure, Miles looked at Stretch with a blend of astonishment and skepticism.


    Piecing together the narrative from Stretchs ount, Miles felt his earlier suspicions solidify.


    The vige was indeed haunted by two distinct entities: One was confined within a coffin, while the other terrorized the vige unhindered.


    Gathering resolve, Miles dered, If we join forces and act with precision, we can put an end to this haunting for good. His eyes locked onto Stretch, emphasizing the seriousness and determination behind his words.
