It was surprising to learn about the Ghost Zone and those abnormal ghosts. Why and how such a thing existed completely eluded me.

A more responsible person would dig deeper and stop those ghosts from doing anymore trouble.

Fortunately, I'm not a responsible person and those ghosts are not my mission.

For some reason, they did not register as escapees of the Underworld. In fact, there was no record of them... not even in the IPad which was supposed to track dead souls.

I know... during the fight, I checked the IPad but the lost soul wandering the diner was neither the ghost hero or the Meat Monster because the dot's movement there contradicted their movements.

After inquiring about such ghosts to those three teens, hearing about the Ghost Zone, a place where ghosts reside...

Although the only place known for ghost to reside are the Underworld and sometimes in this world under Melinoe's watch...

But Ghost Zone, a parallel world birthing ghosts with powers.

Ghosts with powers...

Although I don't want to get involve with anything outside of my mission, just to avoid any unnecessary paperwork, there was also the question of why so many ghosts who escaped from the Doors of Death escaped to Amity Park...

It would be completely worrying if the reason was...

"Why are we back at Nasty Burger?" Will asked.

While I was thinking through that conversation with the trio, Will and I were walking with him following me. Before we knew it, we were back at Nasty Burger.

Truthfully, I was walking without destination in mind, but I guess my thoughts led me back here, our first ghost abnormality encounter...

But this was good for me and Will. I checked the IPad again before seeing to my surprise that single ghost was here.

I smiled. Time for a little experiment. Hopefully the ghost was residing in less people friendly areas.

Although Will was no doubt in the dark, he followed me without hesitation. Eventually we were led to a back alley of Nasty Burger where the IPad shows the ghost reside. With care, I unsheathed my sword and Will seeing this unsheathed a dagger.

But it proved futile when out of nowhere, rays were shot out that flung our weapons out of our hands. With a cackle, the ghost made their appearance and this time... without a doubt, this ghost was from the Underworld instead of the mysterious Ghost Zone.

The ghost was transparent and floating with a white glow, but the surprising thing was that the ghost was also equally laced with a green glow and powering up a ghost ray similar to that I saw from Danny Phantom. The ghost was wearing a wicked smile that would have made a lesser man shudder.

Fun fact, my death senses could usually sense how a person dies. With that Meat Monster, I sensed that the person died of some kitchen fire, in possibly making dishes. That could explain the food related monstrosity.

Danny Phantom is a more mysterious case. Despite his ghost abilities, he was surely not dead. The soul I sense was too healthy and showcasing many years to live... although faintly with him, I saw great electrical discharge within his body.

For this ghost, I immediately sense an explosion of gold and screaming. But I didn't even need my senses to tell me that. Because I saw the death myself.

"Octavian..." Will said in shock. I was in shock too really.

The Doors of Death have already been closed before Octavian actually died. I had assumed that the only souls I see will be the ones who actually took the opportunity to escape back then.
