Chapter 780: Chapter 780 Training Ghost_1
Purple Summers commented that Nathaniel Summers was scheming, which, upon reaching Alexander Summers’ ears, delighted him immensely.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, his chin resting on her forehead, and affectionately kissed the top of her head, “See, he’s just a despicable and sneaky fellow. You want to make it up to him out of kindness, but it’s like casting pearls before swine. It’s totally unnecessary. From now on, don’t bother with him!”
“No, one thing at a time,” Purple Summers seriously said, “I loathe the current Nathaniel, but that doesn’t change the fact that I once hurt him. These are two separate things. The hypnotist has already been found for him. Whether he goes or not is his business, but whether I do something about it is mine.”
Alexander Summers sighed, “You’re too rigid.”
“It’s not about being rigid, it’s… it’s…” Purple Summers hesitated, a look of confusion in her eyes, “If I were powerless, then so be it. But I clearly have a chance to improve the situation. If I don’t do it, I really can’t forgive myself.”
Alexander Summers furrowed his brows, intensely stating, “He’s now dabbling in some crooked and unorthodox things and clearly up to no good. You’re not allowed to see him anymore!”
“His return this time is indeed strange…” Purple Summers thought for a moment then asked, “The Mr. Dalton from last time, his name is Hunter Dalton, right? How about we go ask him?”
Because it concerned Purple Summers’ safety, Alexander Summers was very cautious and arranged to meet with Hunter Dalton the next day.
Hunter Dalton was still his usual self, calm and unhurried as he greeted them, smiling amiably.
Friendly manner brings wealth after all.
Purple Summers told Hunter Dalton about all the unusual behavior displayed by Nathaniel, and mentioning the so-called Ghost Eyes still seemed absurd to her.
She asked, “Are such things really real? To see past events so clearly, regardless of what happened before?”
Hunter Dalton said with a smile, “There is indeed such a spell, but it’s not called Ghost Eyes, and only those who are exceptionally skilled in this practice can grasp past events without missing a detail. To my knowledge, only an old lady in Peachwater Village possesses such a skill.”
“So, he was lying? But at the banquet, he guessed everything correctly,” Purple Summers frowned, murmuring, “He said it was because he had opened Ghost Eyes…”
“The Taoist practice of Ghost Eyes, or astral vision, relies on talisman paper or swallowing a crow’s eyeball to see ghosts upon opening one’s eyes,” Hunter Dalton said with a smile, “Ms. Summers, based on the few incidents you’ve mentioned, it doesn’t seem like opening Ghost Eyes, but rather like training a ghost.”
“Training ghost?” Purple Summers exclaimed in surprise.
Alexander Summers also raised his brows in surprise.
“Ghosts can see things humans can’t, so guessing a few things right isn’t unusual, but it’s not enough to know everything in detail,” Hunter Dalton explained patiently, “Ordinary people train ghosts mostly to change their luck. Practitioners do it to use ghosts as assistants for finding people, inquiring about matters, or scouting, and some for malicious purposes. It was quite popular in ancient times but gradually fell out of favor.”
Alexander Summers irritably said, “Is there a way to get rid of that thing?”
Hunter Dalton shook his head apologetically, “Master Xander, I run a legitimate business for seeking blessings and avoiding calamities. I dare not touch things that are too evil and harm one’s yin energy. If you need it, though, I can arrange for someone to set up a formation for you that can block it to some extent.”
Remembering Sheldon Fowler’s death, Purple Summers still had concerns and asked, “If he really is training a ghost, could it be harmful to us?”
“That depends on the ghost’s master,” Hunter Dalton replied, “Ms. Summers, you don’t have to think of it as something so powerful. If ghosts could make everything go perfectly, why would I bother running a business? I might as well just train a ghost. As long as you don’t go to places with strong yin energy, ghosts won’t be very effective.”
“Which places have strong yin energy?”
“Places that are constantly dark or where death occurs frequently, such as hospitals, underground parking lots, hotels…”
Sheldon Fowler died in a hotel.
Purple Summers understood in her heart.
