“Those eyes … It is definitely not a person. Is it related to the cat meowing just now?” Dawn muttered to himself before being brought back to reality by the familiar voice coming from the coffee table next to himself.
“Landlord, let’s discuss something: can you let me stay and live here?”
Turning his head, Dawn saw it was the little hamster who had just slipped away half an hour ago. He didn’t expect this one to return so quickly and standing stoically beside his teacup.
“What? You’ve ran away already, why the sudden change of mind?” He bemuses, finding this so-called monster to be more intriguing than scary at this point.
“I’ve thought things through. Landlord’s home is more suitable for me. It’s quiet, sanitary, and with good feng shui (karma). I’m willing to pay rent if you accept the deal.”
“Speak the truth, otherwise it’s a no.”
“…. I saw a monster hunter nearby. I’m afraid of being caught by them.” The little hamster gets all honest.
“Monster hunter?”
Twirling his lazy posture up into a more attentive pose, Dawn didn’t expect to hear a title like that. He’s seriously wondering if he didn’t wake up right this morning and was still dreaming.
“Landlord? Behind you… what is that?” Suddenly, the little hamster sounded frightened and puffed up his fur into an attack position.
Dawn didn’t understand the remark, but the cold tingling breath rushing down his neck told him all that he needed to know. Swinging his head around, he saw another terrifying he didn’t want to meet.
Wearing a skin-tight blue dress, this womanly being had long black hair that stretched all the way down to the waist. Due to the thickness of those strands, only its white eyeballs were showing through the crack as it bent its body to hug Dawn’s shoulder. It’s clearly a ghost based on how deathly white her skins were.
Instead of screaming like any sane person, the young man only froze there and watched. He’s been wondering why he felt more tired than usual, plus the occasional whiff of chill over his shoulder, now it all made sense with that status of him being possessed.
The little hamster wasn’t as numb to the situation of being murdered. He’s down on all four legs by this point, his teeth barring like he’s going to launch an attack at any moment. Sadly, the kind gesture didn’t bring any comfort to Dawn’s head. He knows the little one only had the ability to create phantoms and illusions to scare someone. In terms of practical combat ability, it’s even weaker than himself who’s a scum of all scums when it came to fighting. But complaining was complaining, a pang of happiness was still there since the hamster didn’t run away at this critical point.
WHAT AM I DOING! I’M ABOUT TO DIE! QUIT SCREWING AROUND YOU IDIOT AND THINK!
By this stage Dawn’s entire body had become wrapped in a cold numbing chill. It’s seeping right into his bones like fear itself was trying to rip his soul out. Then without thought or brain, the idiot did the only thing that any man would do when confronted with a supposed beauty despite those white eyeballs.
“Mi-Miss, what’s your name?” It’s the eternal pickup line used at any bar.
Clearly the processing brain power of Dawn’s head had been fried. It’s overloaded to the point where he couldn’t even muster up a decent response. But as the old saying goes, when a guy’s about to hit the bucket, all they could think about are woman and sex. Even if the target was a female ghost, what’s wrong with that? He’s got a hamster monster on the table anyways. What if a ghost could communicate too, that wouldn’t be too bad, right?
