Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

~Pah! Pah! Pah!

Dorian flicked his talisman coins on his body, and right before everyone's eyes... Sota started trembling like crazy while keeping his eyes open wide.

"Son? Son?"

Elvida wanted to rush towards Sota, but Ghu Dwo held her back.

And Elvida, who wanted to curse and pull herself away, suddenly paused when she heard her husband's words: "Elvida... his face..."

"Face? What the hell are you talking...."

-Silence-

Everyone stared at Sota's face in shock as countless bluish-black streaks of haphazard lines popped out of his face, mainly covering his forehead, cheeks and eyes.

At this point, they truly felt that something might be wrong with their boy.

Not just them, but everyone else within the room.

And within this moment, all their breaths felt trapped in horror.

... Young Master?...

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!"

~Brrmmmmmm~

Sota trembled, turned, flinched and shook nonstop, with every fibre of his body going into shock.

His hands, fingers, toes and even his neck kept twitching as if something within him was trying to fit into his body.

His eyes were still kept wide open but slowly turned a pale yellowish colour as seconds passed by.

Seeing his transformation, Raulin and Zhulyn wanted to step back but were held in place by Butler Sheng: "Trust the master. This is nothing for him."

~Gulp.

The duo looked at each other and nodded before trying to stay strong yet again.

One should know that apart from Butler Sheng, Dorian and themselves, the rest were further away, keeping a wide enough open space around.

So one could say that they had front-row seats to the show.

But the fact that they didn't know what the show was about earlier on had caused them to receive the greatest shocks of their lives.

Butler Sheng looked at the duo and understood their thoughts.

Just last night, he too was so scared that he and the rest literally begged Master Dorian to stay close to them.

But somehow, all through the night after battling with more dangerous and mouth-puking demons, what he saw there was nothing.

So he wasn't that scared.

Moreover, he had absolute trust in Dorian and the talisman papers.

But what surprised him was that today, the Master didn't use papers but used carved coins with a few symbols on them instead.

Additionally, he didn't know what the candles were for or why they got so much salt.

But all this was part of his training, so he knew that sooner or later... he would understand it all.

Everyone was deep in their own thoughts while watching Dorian whisper a few words across Sota's body.

And as he chanted his words, the Candles flickered, and a strong gust of wind stormed the room, causing the chandeliers to shake uncontrollably.

Instantly, the temperature in the room dropped, and the dogs started barking again, causing Windock and everyone else's hair to stand erect.

So that night when the dogs barked... could it be?

.

~Whooohhhh~~

~Ting. Ting. Ting.~

The sounds of the world and the chandeliers echoed out across the now cold room for a while until they finally slowed down their pace, matching it with Sota's rhythm.

That's right.

As Sota's shaking lessened, the lines on his face slowly faded away too.

And now, the wind finally stopped.

~Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.~

The massive clock on the wall only made the tension in the air grow more as everyone looked at Sota curiously.

And when they finally saw him open his eyes again, Ghu Dwo and Elvida were ecstatic, as tears pictured out of Elvida's eyes again.

Their boy was back to normal.

Seeing him like this, the guards also felt glad.

Very quickly, Sota turned his head and smiled weakly at his parents.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Son! Son! How are you feeling?"

Elvida said while rushing towards him in joy, making everyone else smile.

But suddenly, Dorian appeared next to her, stopping her altogether.

At this point, everyone else was confused... even Elvida.

"Why? Why are you stopping me? Can't you hear how weak his voice is? He needs me!" Her voice bellowed out in rage, covering the entire room.

Dorian looked at her calmly before turning to look at Sota again: "He's not your son."

What?

Everyone's mind turned grim.

And instantly, Windock retrieved Elvida.

He had gotten the feeling that it might be too easy. And sure enough, he was right.

This wasn't the Young Master!

Ghu Dwo, Leiji and a few others also had the same hunch as well.

But Elvida was still convinced that it was her son.

.

"You lie! You lie! He...  He...  He..."

She cursed and broke down even more while being restrained by Windock.

And before she could finish her words, Dorian chanted a few words that made the bluish-black lines appear again.

But this time, even though his eyes were yellow, his skin was still pearly white... except for the streaks on them.

Seeing this, Elvida suddenly paused, and everyone else felt their heartbeats race again when they heard this Sota speak while smiling mysteriously.

As he spoke, he only sat up because his lower body had been pinned with the coins.

His voice was the same as Sota's but gave everyone the sensation of spiders crawling around them instead.

Now, they all had goosebumps.

The wind picked up again.

And the culprit for their discomfort just sat there with an unnatural expression on his face while staring at them mysteriously.

"Mother... Why are you backing away from me?

Don't you want me anymore?

Come one... tell me to blow the candles out!"

Everyone felt their heads pending as they looked between the candles and Sota in horror.

Elvida felt her throat tighten: "No... You're not my son."

"Not your son?

Hahahahha!" Sota's voice then changed into a deeper and more frightening one.

And at this moment, everyone was fully convinced of one thing.

Ghosts were real!

.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Sota's eerie deep voice caused them all to quiver even deeper as the cold air in the room seethed into their bones.

And instantly, the candles flicked once more.

But no one was focused on this.

No! They were looking at the thing before them in horror.

"Hahahhaha!

You're right. I'm not your son!

But I do have possession of him!

So free me now if you still want him!"

What?

Elvida's whole world crumbled.

And when Sota saw this, he smiled even more.

"Quickly! If you want to see your son again, Do it! Blow the candles away!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Elvida pushed the distracted Windock and made her way to the candles.

"Elvida, no!!"

Ghu Dwo's voice echoed out, but Elvida gritted ger teeth and continued on.

For her son, she would blow them away!

But her actions only made Sota's yellowish eyes blow even more.

'Do it! Do it! Free me!'
