In a blink of an eye, 2 days passed and the last night of the holiday period arrived. It was the night that Ghost Gentleman had to head to the Underworld.
"I'm leaving now." The ghost did not say any other words to bid farewell, after all, he had already done so during the past 2 days he had spent in the villa.
"Let me see you off." Irene walked forward with Winter in her arms.
When a malicious ghost had reached the status of a ghost general, he would be able to open a gate of the Underworld by himself. However, the method used would be extremely violent and was considered a type of invasion to the Underworld. Even if the ghost general's intention was to head to the Underworld to undergo trials, they would not be received well by the Underworld citizens in the initial stage. It would be much better for a metaphysical practitioner to open the gates and send the ghost general off instead.
This could be likened to a scenario of criminals heading to the police station to surrender and confess their crimes. They could have chosen to kick down the door of the police station and swagger in to surrender themselves. Alternatively, they could get someone to first open the door before surrendering themselves in a calm manner. The subsequent treatment the criminals would receive depending on which approach they used would be vastly different.
Irene stood in front of Ghost Gentleman and pointed her finger into empty space. She then channelled her witch powers and glimmering black sparks appeared at her fingertip. Subsequently, the black sparks expanded wide to form into the gates of the Underworld that were only big enough for a person to walk through at any point of time.
"Thank you." After looking at the Underworld gates, Ghost Gentleman expressed his sincere gratitude towards Irene.
"Sana said that you had intended to participate in the imperial examinations when you were alive. This means that you should be able to pass the Underworld's trials." Irene encouraged him.
Ghost Gentleman chuckled. "Is there any connection between them?"
"Both are for the sake of becoming a civil official, no?" Irene said with a confident look on her face.
"Alright then." He guessed it could be somewhat reasonable if she put it in this way.
"Mr. Taeyeon, if you successfully become a ghost official, I would go to the Underworld to reincarnate. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go." Sana suddenly said.
Ghost Gentleman looked at her in bewilderment.
"After all, didn't I offend the ghost officials of the Underworld when I made a trip there with Master Cat the last time?" Sana continued in chagrin.
One could tell that those 2 ghost officials were beings who tended to hold grudges. Otherwise, they would not have chased her and Master Cat for one entire day just for a ghost official's badge. While the 2 ghost officials could not do anything to her before they returned to the Underworld, that was solely due to them being afraid of the people around her. It would be an entirely different matter if she went to the Underworld instead. They would be able to torture her however they wanted then.
"Oh those 2." Ghost Gentleman immediately recalled the ghost officials. He then agreed without hesitation. "Alright."
He knew that Sana and Irene were only trying to encourage him.
"Meow." At this moment, the black cat called out. When everyone looked over to it, it lifted its currently bandaged limb, as if saying that its limb was injured, and could not send Ghost Gentleman off.
Ghost Gentleman understood its intention and smiled in response. He then shifted his line of sight to Winter, which was currently watching Ghost Gentleman with its big eyes.
