Chapter 983: Mr. Ghost, Please Don’t Scare Me
Ethan saw darkness as far as his eyes could see.
It was so dark that he couldn't even see his hands nor body.
Back then he often wondered what absolute darkness looked like.
This was the first time that he had experienced something darker than black, which even surpassed the darkness he saw when he closed his eyes.
But, from within that darkness, something stirred.
A faint light, similar to that of a candle light, appeared in the distance.
It was so faint that there was a danger that it could disappear at any second.
Having a destination to go, Ethan didn't hesitate and went towards the light to see what was waiting for him there.
At first, it seemed that no matter how much he ran, he couldn't get close to the light.
He even felt that he wasn't moving at all because the distance remained the same.
It was as if he was running full speed on a treadmill, not being able to advance, and simply running in place.
Then, he thought of something.
He stopped running and closed his eyes.
It was already dark to begin with, so closing his eyes wouldn't matter.
However, the moment he extended his senses, he found himself standing in what seemed to be a garden.
Finding the situation quite unusual, Ethan looked around his surroundings, hoping to get a better idea of where he was.
At that moment, something moved at the corner of his eye, making him glance on his right side.
There, a girl, who seemed to be around seven to ten years old, was moving sneakily through the garden in a crouch.
She would occasionally look around to make sure that no one was in her surroundings before she continued to move silently towards the corner of the garden that was surrounded by vines.
Ethan immediately recognized the little girl as Nicole.
She was a bit skinny, but not malnourished.
But, despite all that, she was still quite cute, and Ethan couldn't help but smile as he followed behind the girl to see where she was going, and why she was going there.
He was afraid that if he said something, it would scare the pitiful girl and make her faint on the spot.
In the end, he decided to not do anything, and simply stood a meter away from her, waiting for her to regain her composure.
Ethan watched with amusement as Nicole parted the fingers covering her eyes to look at her surroundings.
After making sure that there were really no ghosts around her, she stood up and patted her chest in relief.
Her cute reaction elicited a chuckle from Ethan, who wasn't used to seeing Nicole act like a
scaredy cat.
A moment later, the girl went to the brick fireplace, as if she was looking for something.
With a bit of hesitation, Nicole tried to push a brick, but it didn't budge.
She then pushed the next brick, then the brick after that.
Finally, at her 13th attempt, the brick that she pushed was pushed back.
The bricks of the fireplace then realigned themselves, showing a staircase that led
downwards.
Faint bluish light appeared on the walls, illuminating the path that had opened up for her.
The little girl took a deep breath, and slowly descended the staircase.
The bluish lights on the wall would light up with every step she took, making sure that she
could see the way.
Ethan followed behind Nicole until they arrived at the deepest part, where a spacious area was
located.
There, they saw what seemed to be an altar.
As Nicole moved closer to it, she and Ethan saw something hovering at the center of it,
emitting a faint bluish light.
Ethan's face turned solemn when he recognized the floating thing on the altar.
It was a heart made up of ice, emitting a faint light that contained a Legacy that was waiting
for its fated person.
