Love Code at the End of the World

Book 6: Chapter 104: Ghost King

I stood before him fearlessly and met his gaze calmly. I faintly felt that his question wasnt really asking who I was, but that he already knew the answer. He leaned back in his throne and waved his hand.

Get up. Yawn. The man with long ash gray hair said listlessly. Everyone got up, but stood in reverence.

Gehenna didnt dare to look at me much. He stood on his platform and stole glances at me, as though he were a primary school kid who wanted to play petty tricks in front of a dignified teacher, yet didnt dare to.

Do you know that you killed a Ghost King? The Great Ghost Kings voice reverberated through the square.

I do, I replied.

The two guards behind the Great Ghost King fixed their gazes upon me.

You killed the previous Ghost King. According to the rules of the Ghost Eclipsers, you can become the new Ghost King, but the people here must acknowledge you. The Great Ghost Kings sharp gaze swept past Nubis. Hence, you have to go through a review, the Great Ghost King said grimly.

I didnt do any wrong. Why do I have to go through a review? I asked in reply. I was neither haughty or humble.

Is that so? Are you unhappy with that too? The Great Ghost King asked, Why did you kill Margaery?

Because she wanted to eat me! I answered loudly. I raised my hand and pointed at Gehenna. Gehennas expression grew tense and his body stiffened to dodge, but Vanish and Earl restrained his movements so he couldnt dodge anywhere, Gehenna can be a witness!

The Great Ghost King immediately looked at Gehenna. Gehenna, is that true? Nubis redirected his grim stare at Gehenna.

Geennas smile stiffened. He coughed in his fist, replying, Great Ghost King, you know Margaerys fetish. She saw my little brother and wanted him to stay. I know that you advocate peace, so I couldnt fall out with Margaery over him. But I reminded Margaery to not touch him. She obviously didnt listen to me.

Mm Thats true. The Great Ghost King rubbed his chin. Margaery wanted to eat him and he fought back. In the end, Margaery was killed in the process. Thats nothing wrong. Isnt that so, Nubis?

Nubis looked away grimly without uttering a word.

I know your relationship with Napoleon and Margaery. But you are Ghost Kings. Its nothing to lose a woman. The Great Ghost King looked at Nubis and Napoleon, continuing, Although we are Ghost Eclipsers, we should be reasonable.

Great Ghost King, there are many women among the Ghost Eclipsers, but there is only one Queen. Napoleon chuckled, Great Ghost King, without a queen among the four Ghost Kings, dont you think its lacking something?

Oh. The Great Ghost King leaned back again. Napoleon, what you mean to say is that if Ice Fire King were a woman, you would be fine?

Of course. Napoleon bowed. It would be more perfect if there were a Queen, but Napoleon looked at me with a smile, Can Ice Fire King turn into a Queen? 

He might. Ice Fire King, can you? The Great Ghost Kings gaze under his mask was fixed on me. It was as though he had seen through everything. If I am not mistaken, the one behind you should be General He Lei from the Aurora Legion, right?

He Lei?! Feng You immediately exclaimed in surprise. She looked at He Lei, saying, No wonder I found you familiar. It turned out that you were He Lei!

The surrounding gazes immediately gathered on He Lei. Dian Yin and Flurry looked surprised too. He Lei was immediately on high alert, and he held my arm. 

The Great Ghost King continued to fix his gaze upon He Lei. He lifted his hand and chuckled at ease, Dont be anxious, my child. We wont catch you. You are very powerful. I think highly of you. I am glad that you join the Ghost Eclipsers. I didnt even have an opportunity to invite you to the Ghost Eclipsers to take a look. I never expected that you would be here today. Hahahaha

The Great Ghost King laughed atop his throne. Nubiss expression turned even gloomier in the face of the Great Ghost Kings laughter.

He Lei took a step closer to me, and Ah Zong extended his hand to stop He Lei. Ah Zong shook his head. We cant escape, Ah Zong said softly. He Leis expression immediately became solemn.

Ah Zong smiled sweetly at him and muttered softly, The Great Ghost King Ah Zong stole a glance at the Great Ghost King and looked at He Lei. ...admires our King."

He Lei creased his eyebrows and retracted his hand from my arm. Then, he retreated to his original spot.

The Great Ghost Kings smile slowly faded. He leaned forward and looked at me, saying, But, what made me happier was that you came! North Star, Luo Bing!

He Lei and Ah Zong immediately revealed an astonished expression. They looked at me simultaneously. I was surprised but I remained calm. I nodded at them calmly, while they looked around on high alert.

I wasnt surprised that hed found out I was Luo Bing. Since I had come to the Ghost Eclipsers with Gehenna, there were many signs that could trace back to my identity. I was just surprised that the Ghost Eclipsers had such great intelligence.

What?! Hes the North Star?!

Im-pos-si-ble!

Let me see! Let me take a look! The North Star is a kid?!

Flurry, it seems that he was being generous to only take one of your hands. Dian Yin looked at Flurry nearby with a smile. The smile on Flurrys face stiffened.

My goodness! Youre Luo Bing?! Feng You looked at me in surprise. No wonder you could kill Margaery! You massacred Steel Ghost City! Wow! Although Im a Ghost Eclipser, Im not as ferocious as you Feng You clicked her tongue and shook her head. 

I felt heavy-hearted. The war at Steel Ghost City was the last thing Id wanted to bring up.

Silver Moon City had belittled the Ghost Eclipsers. It made me even more certain that there were Ghost Eclipser spies in Silver Moon City. Then, would Silver Moon Citys spies be among the Ghost Eclipsers?

Oh! Hes Luo Bing! Its Luo Bing! That North Star! Suddenly, Napoleon jumped off his platform like a theater performer. He landed under my platform and clutched his chest with a fearful look, saying, Oh, Im so scared. He landed in Steel Ghost City like a meteorite and destroyed the city overnight. Im so scared Im scared! Hahahaha! Hahaha! He then burst out in laughter. Nubis, were doomed. Ugh! He then slowly fell, like a theatre performer dying. But he suddenly stopped thirty centimeters away from the ground, in an extreme movement even Michael Jackson couldnt pull off.

Then, he slowly got up and looked at Nubis. He took off his monocle casually and wiped it. As he wiped his monocle, he said, Nubis, Margaery asked for it. Dont take revenge for her. It isnt worth it to die for that loose woman, Margaery. Napoleon blew on his monocle and put it back on.
