Nathan Lin glanced back at Little Venerable Mountain as he left.
The flickering candlelight from the dilapidated temple had vanished.
"It's possible that it was taken into Silent Light Nunnery, or perhaps the ghost earlier was the nun ghost from inside. However, its strength may have been misjudged," Nathan Lin thought to himself.
Soon, Nathan Lin and Coco had moved far from the area, but Nathan Lin had also taken away Roger's communicator and some other items.
Nathan Lin's speed was incredible.
In just ten minutes, he had covered almost a kilometer and was waiting for a while.
Then, a red light flashed across the sky.
"Coming!"
Nathan Lin quickly hid himself.
Coco appeared as well, using her red dress to shield him.
"Let me poke my eyes out," Nathan Lin whispered.
As he did so, two small holes appeared in Coco's dress, allowing Nathan Lin to peer out.
Through those gaps, Nathan Lin saw a large red wedding dress hovering above the spot where he had been.
"Just as I thought, it's her, the Wedding Dress Bride."
Nathan Lin murmured.
He didn't rush forward.
This Wedding Dress Bride was likely the ghost that had caused widespread panic throughout the entire Willow Base City.
She was also the one the middle-aged woman and other Ghost Tamers had been chasing for some time.
Nathan Lin could easily guess how powerful this ghost must be.
Since she had only appeared after sensing the embroidered shoes, Nathan Lin, holding the shoes now, figured that the system wouldn't think it was him who had delivered them.
Otherwise, the system wouldn't have prompted him to leave the area.
Moreover, the system specifically pointed out the difference between "giving" and "taking back," which, in Nathan Lin's opinion, hinged on the power comparison.
Even if the Wedding Dress Bride didn't come looking for him and Nathan Lin had gone to find her with the shoes... If her power was terrifying, she could easily defeat Coco and snatch the shoes. That wouldn't be considered "giving."
To truly "give" them, Nathan Lin needed to be strong enough to ensure the Wedding Dress Bride would hesitate to snatch them, allowing him to hand them over voluntarily.
Only then could it be called "giving."
If she just snatched them upon seeing them, it would be pointless!
For a ghost that had put the whole Willow Base City on high alert, even though the system's bonding task had greatly lowered the difficulty, Nathan Lin would not be reckless.
"To make Willow Base City respond this much, it has to be a ghost of at least Horror Grade. Horror Grade is Level 4. Coco's red skirt form is at least half a Level 5 in strength... I wonder if it can withstand her... this is a bit risky..."
Nathan Lin thought, as Roger's communicator vibrated.
He picked it up and saw a new message.
It read,
"Roger, how's it going over there? Damn it, George and I are 40 minutes late again. That kid Nathan Lin is too fast, he's gone! Once we catch him, I'll cut off his legs first so he can't run!"
At the same time, Nathan Lin's own communicator went off.
It was a message from the villager he had bribed near the cave earlier, reporting that the other two Ghost Tamers had arrived.
"Almost forgot about these two," Nathan Lin thought.
He had just encountered the ghost nun and started a new Ghost Spirit task, and had forgotten there were still two more people trying to kill him.
"Maybe I can use these two," Nathan Lin mused.
"But their strength is lacking... still, better deal with them first."
Nathan Lin started planning.
After a while, Nathan Lin had a plan.
He then grabbed Roger's communicator and sent a message,
"I'm good here."
After sending it, he put down the communicator and continued observing the red wedding dress.
It hovered in place for a few minutes, then, sensing that the embroidered shoes' energy was gone, it transformed into a red light and flew off in another direction.
Once the red wedding dress was gone, Nathan Lin rushed toward Little Venerable Mountain.
Soon, Nathan Lin reached the middle of the mountain.
By this time, it was already dark.
Nathan Lin didn't set up a tent, instead laying down on a branch of a tree to rest.
Coco sat beside him, quietly watching the view below.
A little while later, Nathan Lin felt a tug on his sleeve.
He opened his eyes, and under the moonlight, saw several figures appearing at the foot of the mountain.
"They're really here," Nathan Lin thought.
"These people dare to follow the Wedding Dress Bride... they should be able to handle her..."
He quietly thought.
The figures stayed at the base for a while before leaving.
Nathan Lin closed his eyes again.
After more than three hours, it was late into the night.
Nathan Lin opened his eyes and took out Roger's communicator, sending a new message,
"George, come quickly! I saw Nathan Lin, but he is resting. Looks like he's planning to go up in the morning to take care of the ghost on the mountain."
As soon as the message was sent, the reply came immediately.
"Sure enough, he went to Little Venerable Mountain. That kid's really serious, traveling overnight! You keep an eye on him, we're on our way, three of us together, we'll make sure he can't escape!"
"Got it."
Nathan Lin closed his eyes again to rest.
"George, Nathan Lin really went to Little Venerable Mountain, let's go, this time he's finished!"
On the other side, Philip woke up George.
The man glanced at his communicator, saying,
"Roger sent you a message, why is he calling you 'George'?"
"Hey, isn't that normal? You're the core of our trio. Don't tell me you've been doubting yourself after two failed attempts to catch him?"
Philip patted the man on the back.
The square-jawed man said, "I just think this kid is a bit off."
Philip laughed, "What's so off? You think he's omniscient?"
The square-jawed man paused, then said, "Let's go. Since he's being tracked by Roger, he won't be able to escape. Once he's dead, no matter how tricky he is, it won't matter."
With that, they set off for Little Venerable Mountain.
