98: Section 98

"That's right, little Perona. How can a good girl gossip about others in her heart?"

Wait, which eye of yours saw me as a child, hey!

Wait, no!

Perona realized, her face full of horror.

Mind reading?

Wuwuwu!—I couldn't keep a single secret in my heart; I might as well just die!

Besides...

A failure like me...

Actually feels an instinctive yearning for this female ghost, the culprit behind all this... As expected, an idiot like me should just die...

Just as Perona was having an emo moment, a stream of information quietly surfaced in her mind. Gradually, Perona's eyes began to widen, and her little mouth formed an 'O' shape.

Perona lifted her hands in disbelief, turning her wrists.

But no matter how she struggled.

Her skin—which was already several dimensions paler than before—still remained in a nearly translucent state.

She could even see the grave soil and tombstones beneath her through her own body!

Tears welling up!—

"Y-you guys..."

Perona's voice was choked with sobs; the words reached her lips, but she didn't know how to say them.

Patting Perona's little head, Midnight smiled and delivered another blow:

"That's right, you are now a true Ghost Princess!"

Wuwuwu!—

This older sister plays dirty, peeking into my inner thoughts again!

But...

It seems being a real ghost isn't all that bad.

At the very least.

I don't have to be afraid of this ghost older sister in front of me anymore...

Su Ming, who also understood Perona's inner thoughts, thought to himself, of course you wouldn't be afraid.

As Perona's creator.

And direct superior.

Perona would only grow closer to Midnight.

To some extent, this was already a form of cognitive distortion! Perona was a bit better off; at the very least, as a Banshee Commander, she still possessed a certain degree of self, whereas other Banshees were basically just tools in front of Midnight.

He opened Perona's exclusive panel.

[Silver Elite: Ghost Princess · Perona]

[Category: Banshee Commander]

[Attributes: Physique/14, Intelligence 16, Perception 18]

[Traits: Gathering and Dispersing at Will, Embryonic Ghost Territory]

[Talent: Ghost-Ghost Fruit Ability User · Awakened, Primary-Secondary Conversion]

[Skills: Possess, Curse, Banshees Wail, Anti-Magic Energy Shield, Ghost Lash]

This panel... it's quite luxurious!

As a Silver Elite Banshee Commander, compared to a Banshee, she gained an Anti-Magic Energy Shield skill and a Ghost Lash skill.

The former can deploy a shield to protect herself and friendly units at will.

As long as the shield doesn't break, the protected units cannot be harmed by attacks that leverage magic energy.

The latter is a genuine soul attack with low consumption, short cooldown, and can even be cast through Negative Hollows!

At the same time.

As a Banshee Commander.

Perona can summon Banshees to fight at any time!

When that happens, the Banshees will be treated as Negative Hollows derived from the Ghost-Ghost Fruit ability!

Otherwise, the Comprehensive Network wouldn't have hung the Ghost Princess title on this girl.

And the biggest change, undoubtedly, is Perona's fruit ability. After this transformation, because her life form is extremely compatible with the concept of a ghost, it has reached the awakening level!

In terms of combat power, the current Perona could easily crush the previous Moriah, no problem!

"Alright, Perona, from now on you are also a member of the midnight rose!" Interrupting the girl's stammering, Su Ming said: "I don't have high demands for you: cooperate with Midnight's work, obey Midnight's orders, and by the way, get used to your new body as soon as possible."

Perona poked her little head out from Midnight, nodding timidly in acknowledgment:

"O-okay... Lord Ghost King."

Lord Ghost King? What the heck?

Also.

That look you're giving me as if I'm a Great Demon King, are you serious?

Sighing, Su Ming disappeared in a blink, and when he reappeared, he was back in the captain's quarters.

Seeing Su Ming leave, Perona let out a sigh of relief and floated up from Midnight's arms. She couldn't help it; the feeling Su Ming gave her was too oppressive.

That instinct to view Su Ming as her supreme faith was too strong, and the little girl wasn't used to it yet.

Midnight comforted her:

"Master is very kind, Perona, you don't need to be so afraid of him."

"..."

Really?!

The Thriller Bark that got face-checked and killed would cry, you know!

Right!

Moriah-sama!

Perona's face stiffened, and she hurriedly asked:

"Lord Midnight, Moriah... he..."

"He's dead!"

"I-is that so..."

Her mood... was hard to describe. She thought that upon hearing this expected bad news, as someone raised by Moriah since childhood, she should be very sad.

But...

There was sadness, but not much...

Gently touching her own not-so-prominent front armor, that area... seemed even colder.

Patting Perona's little head again, Midnight said:

"Calm your heart and carefully perceive yourself. Big sister has prepared a big gift for you."

Hearing this.

Perona immediately did as she was told.

A moment later, a ghostly light flashed.

A human body replaced her previous ghostly form, and the vitality of life instantly filled her whole body.

In that instant, the lingering entanglement caused by Moriah's death vanished into thin air. Overjoyed, Perona voluntarily floated into Midnight's arms:

"Wuwuwu!—Midnight-sama is the best!"

"Glad you know. To preserve your physical body, Master and I put in a lot of effort... Let's go, big sister will take you to see the dormitory."

"Okay!"

Perona followed along, skipping and hopping.

Along the way.

Perona turned into Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

She felt everything was novel, constantly tugging at a corner of Midnight's clothes to ask this and that.

From time to time, she would touch a skull, poke a ghost body, or transform into her Ghost Princess form, happily zipping around the cabin.

Until...

"Ahhh!—Why, why is the crew dormitory like this!"

In the captain's quarters.

Hearing the girl's sky-piercing scream, Su Ming felt secretly delighted.

So satisfying, so satisfying!

Ge Men finally waited for this scene, hey!

Gagaga!—

With the satisfaction of a troll on his face, Su Ming's body gradually blurred, and he returned to the Super God Main World.

Su Ming: "..."

Just returning to Star Palace Tianheng, Su Ming really wanted to call the police immediately.

As soon as he landed.

He perceived a gaze so resentful it pierced the sky, staring at him...

"Aha... it's Angel... uh... it's Sister Yan, welcome, welcome!"

"You're insincere, kid!" Angel Yan's eyes became even more resentful, and she tapped Su Ming's chest lightly: "Future Astral Wanderer, you've really made things miserable for this big sister..."

Romantic?

There's no such thing, alright!

Even though that pretty face of Angel Yan, which was right in front of him, could definitely be described as the most magnificent he had ever seen in his life.

Even though the seven-thousand-year-old big sister's scent was refreshing and as gentle as a spring breeze.

But...

Su Ming, who was hard-controlled on the spot by that finger of Yan's, expressed that he was panicking like crazy.

How satisfying it was to talk big before, but now... would it lead to... a family funeral?

No way, "847"!

Eh?

I'm an orphan!

That's fine...

As if!

To avoid retaliation from this black-bellied veteran driver in front of him.

Su Ming raised his hands high:

"My fault!"
