Kai was running away. Yes, he was running from the creature at full speed as he created a barrier around him.

In his attempt to defeat the unknown blob creature, he found out that all his attacks were useless. The Phoenix fire couldn't burn its body, and he didn't want to touch an unknown creature directly with his hand.

So he decided on the best action: to run away while calling someone who might know about this creature.

However, his phone call wasn't accepted. He regretted passing a dark place when Griffin told him to be careful around the dark.

"Come on, Griffin! Take the call!" He looked at his phone screen as he stood on the roof of a building.

Getting to this place was easy for him with his current strength. Just like what happened in Amber, he gained a part of Ibaraki's strength: senses and physical abilities.

His body was now even stronger compared to when he fused with Amber, making it possible to do something only superhumans did.

Looking down at the ground, he noticed the creature slowly dragging its body toward him as the half-transparent tentacles grabbed the wall and poles to assist it.

Thankfully, the creature was slow, and he took that weakness to run away from it. Still, there was one problem…

"That creature is still following me!"

He didn't know why, but that slimy black creature was following him. Even when he was out of sight, that creature found a way to find him. That was why he couldn't return to his restaurant yet, or that creature would also follow him to his home.

"This is bad. I'd rather fight 3 Boogeyman's fake bodies instead of getting chased by this kind of creature! I hate slime."

Slimy thing was something he despised. It wasn't like he was scared of it, but he thought that something slimy was gross, especially when they were black.

"Still, what is this guy doing?! I've called him three times already, but he refused all the calls! I also can't call Amber or Ibaraki because they have no phone. Should I call that guy, then? I don't want to bother him after giving him that task, but I guess I have no choice."

Kai dialed the number he contacted once after he defeated the Boogeyman back in the Oni Village. This number belonged to a man who promised to help him whenever he needed his service.

That man was Robert, and currently, Kai asked him to investigate the Boogeyman's real body's location. Still, Kai had no one else to be asked about what kind of creature followed him right now. So he could only ask Robert.

The phone rang three times before it was answered. However, the voice that answered the phone didn't belong to Robert, but Rebecca.

[H-H-Hello? D-Do you need something from Robert?]

The voice that came out from the speaker sounded terrified. She was still scared of Kai even after they became allies.

Kai smiled wryly. Why did things always inconvenience him whenever he needed something? Like he couldn't even enter the real market before he officially registered as a Slayer in the organization. Then Griffin was unable to pick up his call when he needed it.

He wondered if fate was playing with him. But still, it wouldn't hurt to ask the woman.

"Rebbeca, is it?" Kai asked, making sure that the voice belonged to the woman he knew.

[Y-Yes, it is.]

Hearing the confirmation, he nodded slightly. His gaze was still on the creature that slowly climbed down the building he was in. In a few seconds, that creature would surely reach him, so he began to move once again.

Kicking the concrete, he jumped toward another building. The concrete he kicked earlier was destroyed and turned into dust due to his power. But he couldn't care less about that. Once he put down the barrier, everything would return to normal.

He landed gently at the edge of the building beside the previous one. It was taller, so it would give him more time.

"I need to ask something. Do you know about a black gooey creature with half-transparent tentacles growing from its back? Ah, the creature appeared to be a human at first, but it suddenly turned into a big black blob once I refused to cooperate."

[Gooey monster? Big black blob?] The woman sounded confused as she repeated what Kai had said. [Hold on. Can you describe more of its appearance?]

Her terrified voice from before turned into a serious one as she realized that Kai had asked her a serious question. Even if she appeared to be defeated easily by Kai, Rebecca was still one of Slayers with a lot of experience.

Knowing that the woman could give him the answer he wanted, Kai smiled.

"Sure." He nodded his head as he saw the creature slowly move down to the ground and climb the building he was in. The half-transparent tentacles grabbed the concrete to pull itself up.

"Its body is around 2 meters in diameter. At first, it had a human form and slowly morphed into a black goo starting from its face and then its body. Six white half-transparent tentacles grew from its back, and it used those tentacles to drag its body around because it has no limbs."

[I see. Please answer this too. Does the human form have transparent legs or limbs? Or does it look exactly like a normal human? And where did you meet it?]

"I am sure it looked like a human. Its legs… I don't really look at it because I couldn't even feel its presence before it called out to me. My vision only focused on the smartphone it held and its face. Also, I met it on an empty street with a dim light."

[In that case, I am positive the creature that followed you is a low-level ghost.]

"A ghost?" Kai narrowed his eyes as he answered. The creature had managed to climb half of the building he was on. That would reach his place in under 30 seconds. "It's not like the ghost that I often hear."

[Of course. It's just a low level, so it has no intelligence. It only moves because of the soul's regret and lingering emotion.]

"Regret, huh?" He muttered. If he remembered correctly, the blob shouted things like it wanted to become famous. "So, how to defeat it? I tried to burn it with Phoenix fire, but it had no effect."

[It has no effect?] Rebecca sounded surprised, but then she continued. [I see. Because the ghost's body is essentially not in this world, you can't damage it with your fire.]

"Then? How can I defeat it?"

[Wait a minute! I'll send you a manual for the technique to exorcize a ghost. Hold on as I send the picture to your phone.]

Beep–

The call ended one-sided right after she said that. Kai looked at his phone for a second. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"Did she just say she will send me a manual to exorcize a ghost through a phone message?"

Somehow, that wasn't Supernatural. He was expecting her to guide him through instruction or send the manual through teleportation or something.

Then his phone rang once again. It was a message from Rebecca using Robert's number. He opened it and saw a picture with a set of instructions. Under that picture was a text saying, 'Here is the manual. Good luck.'

"Technology is really convenient."
