Chapter 446: Complicated Situation

"Huh~" Truman fled away. Mu Hua let out a long sigh and then gave Odysseus a bitter smile.

"Odysseus, have you ever known a similar situation before? What will be the Empire's attitude towards the situation here? Do I need to run away?" Mu Hua asked Odysseus.

"Ha! I don't know much about ghosts and gods. I thought touching original sin would change one's character." Seeing Mu Hua returning to his normal behavior, Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Mu Hua.

"No kidding, I'm really upset. Someone just said that the empire is going to give me a title. Is this a delaying tactic, or is this matter over?" Mu Hua asked Odysseus in a bad mood.

At this time, Tamara in Odysseus's hands no longer struggled. After being let go by Odysseus, she squatted on Odysseus's shoulder and looked Mu Hua up and down with him.

"I don't know about the title. Normally, ghosts and gods are also the top fighting force of mankind, but they are usually in the human kingdom in the courtyard."

"As for the human world, even if it is not very constrained, it can often solve some more difficult incidents. The empire should not make things difficult for you." After thinking for a moment, Odysseus pondered what to say.

"But you also know that ghosts and gods will more or less have some abnormal effects on the outside world."

"Just like the ghosts that were born because of you, the reproduction in the color domain that ignores reproductive isolation, the greedy absorption of the souls of the surrounding creatures, and so on."

When Odysseus spoke, although he was not quite clear about the concept of greedily absorbing souls, Mu Hua's focus was not on this for the time being, so he did not interrupt Odysseus's narration.

"Normally, if a demon or god is born in the human world, the country to which it belongs will try to win him over. As long as they can have normal communication, they will usually mark out a vast and sparsely populated area as the demon or god's territory."

Odysseus continued, and Mu Hua frowned slightly.

He doesn't like sparsely populated areas. He practices cultivation not to become a hermit. The so-called seclusion and lying down may sound free and easy, but in essence it is a choice made out of helplessness and with no motivation.

It's not like he is poor now. He likes a convenient life, the bright lights and wine, friends with whom he can chat casually, and beautiful women who can bring him novelty and heartbeat.

He is also a human being, and he has all the bad qualities that humans have. He also enjoys a sense of superiority. While others envy, hate and envy him, they are secretly happy when they can't do anything about him.

Well, the most important thing is that he is not short of money, and he doesn't need to make money in dirty ways, so he likes modern life, big houses, and beautiful women, and he doesn't like sparsely populated areas.

"What's the difference between this and hairpinning? Are those ghosts and gods really so honest?" Mu Hua asked Odysseus with a slight complaint.

"It's not considered exile. It doesn't say that ghosts and gods can't leave the territory. It's just that the changes you caused are likely to cause chaos. If you wander around, you will probably have to listen to some nagging."

Odysseus shook his head and explained that he was not a ghost or god, and essentially he also preferred that ghosts and gods stop wandering around the world.

"But what I just said is what I know, but on your side..." Without waiting for Mu Hua to refute, Odysseus looked at the ghosts around him and a wry smile flashed across his face. This was only within the academy, not including the town and the new city area.

Human ghosts are indeed popular among some people. Occasionally, one or two might even attract people to fight over them, but if there are too many, they will become a nuisance or even a threat.

Odysseus didn't understand ghosts and gods, but that didn't mean he had never seen them. It was no exaggeration to say that Mu Hua was the scariest ghost and god he had ever seen.

Who created tens of thousands of human ghosts just after being exposed as a ghost? Although it was an accident, the scene was somewhat unharmonious.

These ghosts were all decent citizens of the empire a few hours ago, and many of them had families and friends outside. Once the news here spreads, countless eyes in the empire will be staring at them, and no one dares to talk lightly about how to deal with these ghosts.

"I'm afraid that the city of Caines will be ruined. According to my estimation, the Empire may make Caines City your territory. After all, no one wants to take over this hot potato."

"You don't have to worry too much about other things. If there is any problem with public opinion, I can also think of a solution for you."

"The most important thing now is this group of ghosts. The Empire will definitely not take the initiative to propose to eliminate them, but if they are not handled well, even if the Empire is willing to help you share the responsibility, it is just sharing, do you understand?" Odysseus said seriously.

Mu Hua twitched his lips. Damn, do you understand? Originally, these were his lines, but now it's someone else's turn to talk about him. Do you understand? Mu Hua really understands.

The birth of ghosts that retain memory and consciousness after human death can be considered a continuation of life, but the problem is that the dead are withered, and long-term emptiness will cause the ghosts to go crazy.

In other words, if these ghosts in Cairns City are left alone, after a year or two, they will turn into evil spirits that wantonly attack humans.

Therefore, when most people face these ghosts, they do not simply regard them as the continuation of human life. The first thought that comes to their minds is more likely to destroy them.

But the problem is that these ghosts are both ordinary and extraordinary. They are citizens of the Empire who died in accidents. Moreover, they have living relatives and families. Kill them quietly? Come on, there are too many...

Regardless of whether it was out of emotion, family affection, humanitarianism, or grief, who would dare to advocate killing them? Not to mention killing, I'm afraid that the parents of these ghosts in the academy would clamor to take them home.

How to deal with these ghosts? The Empire will definitely not help a jealous ghost to deal with ghosts. Maybe someone will help him clean up his mess in the future, but this time, it won’t work. Again, too innocent, too concentrated, too many...

Many ghosts gathered near Mu Hua, but because of the threat from the magic dragon, they did not dare to get too close to Mu Hua. They waved to Old Morey and his group, and Mu Hua called the ghosts in the town who were familiar with him to come closer.

"Mu, are we dead?" Among the ghosts, Old Morey, who was most familiar with Mu Hua, spoke first.

"Well, it was a death sentence. A demon came into town and cast a sleeping spell, and then you were killed by the color domain chlorine worms he released."

Mu Hua smiled bitterly. He was going to attend today's town meeting, but he was not as enthusiastic as old Morey and his gang. If he had gone earlier, these people might not have died.

"We've heard about what happened, Mu Hua. You are a ghost. Have we been transformed into ghosts under your influence?" Selma from the magic material store stepped forward to confirm.

"Yeah." Mu Hua nodded in acknowledgment. You know what, Selma looks like a witch, and the ghost look suits her quite well.

"What will happen to us next? Kill us again?" Selma asked weakly.

Although Selma was not the "peerless master" who lived in seclusion as Mu Hua had imagined, she still had some knowledge about the undead. She was aware of the changes in the ghosts' minds and the attitudes of most people towards ghosts. When she asked about it, the other townspeople showed obvious uneasiness.

"I can ensure your rationality and help you feel your emotions. Even if it is false happiness, it will not drive you crazy." Mu Hua raised his hand and signaled the ghosts to calm down.

"Your feelings can't be shared among a few people. If you share them too much, you'll go crazy. I don't trust the necromancer, and the witch may not trust us either. If we have to sign a contract, we might as well die." Selma retorted in a bad mood.

Necromancers and witches are often accompanied by ghosts. They can share their emotions with the ghosts to keep their minds relatively stable, but if they share too much, they will wither. This situation is somewhat similar to Tuesday's intake of joy.

Regardless of whether it is a necromancer or a witch, they will more or less treat ghosts as a tool or consumable. In this respect, witches are better than necromancers.

Because of the adaptability of magic, witches have more choices in practicing magic than necromancers, but unless there are ghosts with whom they have an emotional basis, the witches' attitude towards ghosts is not much better.

In Selma's opinion, if they want to ensure their sanity, they probably have to entrust their future "ghost life" to a necromancer or witch.

It is impossible for them to share their feelings with you for free. Not only will you have to leave your homeland and become a slave with them, you might even be used as spellcasting material. Selma is very pessimistic about this choice.

"Selma, you know too much. Can you please listen to me finish?" Mu Hua gave Selma a cold look after being interrupted.

"You don't need to follow the others. I have a cursed spirit under my command. She can grant you pleasure. If you still have relatives alive, I also intend to try to help them gain psychic physiques."

"But the premise is that you have to listen to me in the future. Putting aside other things, I hope you can temporarily help me manage these ghosts in Cairns City." Mu Hua said to the ghosts.

Cursed spirit? Mu Hua is going to be public on Tuesday?
Looking at the ghost that Mu Hua had pulled out of his body, Selma and the other ghosts were confused, while Taibesha and the others were puzzled: "Who is this ghost?"
