Chris sat dumpfounded in his room, the ghost had once more taken away his bottle, gesting that he couldn't get it unless he followed a 90% death route up the table with the missing leg.

Chris however didn't understand what the ghost wanted, even if he fell for this obvious trap, it would at most injure him, it wouldn't kill him.

He reached for the bottle, but there was no accident, only the bottle flew out of the window, if he were out of money he might have jumped after it, but he wasn't, he could buy a new bottle, no problem.

The question was, what was the ghost trying to do, it couldn't be as naive as to think he would jump through the window after the bottle.

Chris looked at the window and then went for the door, the bar was open at this hour and he had money to spend, on his way he saw Petro, whom did some mumbling sounds as he passed him by.

The ghost was afraid of that person, but didn't stop from haunting Chris.

The first drink Chris bought, wouldn't come out of the bottle, the second he tried sucking out of the bottle and failed, the third drink he gave up upon.

"What do you want from me, I've taken care of your burials, there's nothing else I can do for you, so let me drink"

Chris lamented as he was unable to drink even a drop of alcochol.

As if satisfied with his now downtrotten self, the ghost then disappeared, the question most of you probably have is why the shrunken head didn't work. Evidently the ghost had no intention to harm him, there was no ill intent towards him, it only came to haunt him because it couldn't find anyone else, but now it new where they were, across the ocean and in a relatively small country.

"home at last"

Tian said as they were getting off the plane, the next thing would be exchanging dollars for euros or whatever coinage the locals used in this world.

Little did they know that the ghost was rapidly flying towards them, over land and sea. Not understanding natural laws or tiredness, blinded by a deep hatered and the wish for revenge.

"Is there a problem with our documents?"

Tian asked at the airport as they gave the documents they were given by the embassy.

"Not a problem, just checking if it's real or not, we don't have many travelling with this sort of paper"

The guard said as he looked at the paper one more time before giving it back to him.

With this they had successfuly passed the airport's checks and were on their way to a bank before going to a hotel.

"Since there's a ghost after us, we have to stay together, better rent a house and live all together there for the next 6 days rather than hotel rooms"

Tian suggested, truthfuly he didn't care if they died, but at least they could die with some purpose in life.

"Wait they don't even use euros here, how primitive is this world's greece?"

Xiao lamented, there was a small problem with drachmes since it was the local currency before entering the eurozone and one dollar or euro was equal to around 30 drachmes.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Of course the prices also were in the 3-4 digits, making thus local products more preferable to the expensive imported goods.

"What on earth is drachmes?"

Mike asked, seeing the coinage for the first time in his life, probably heard of it during history lessons, but who cares about old coins.

"It's the old good drachmes, what a familiar texture"

Samson said, remembering when he was younger going to buy stuff with them.

"Enough about the money, what's your opinion about the plan?"

Jonas shouted as the self-assigned vice leader he would make sure that everyone was both informed about the plans and agreed with them, he wished to make sure that everyone survived until the end.

"No need for shouting, I'm sure that they understand that failure in this mission means death, the ghost will kill you, it's not like in the previous mission, where unless we were all caught, we would succeed"

Tian explained the difference, the previous mission sounded really easy, now that they thought about it.

Renting a house was quite simple and the second step was having a party at home, with drinks and snacks, while staying inside the huge salt circle and making sure to not to destroy the circle.

It was around midnight and they were piss drunk and all but Tian were long asleep.

Tian didn't drink much and had a few more points added to Immunization strength, making him less susceptible to alcohol intoxication. Stats were god in the world of survival, the more stats you had the better your chances of survival.

Suddenly a stone shot towards Tian from the outside, breaking the window of their house. Another owner would shout at whoever shot it, but Tian knew better than to panic. He begun to wake up everyone, saying that the ghost had arrived.

A painting flew off the wall and right into someone's head, it wasn't anything serious but the pain was there.

"Shit! it's a poltergeist, why did it have to be a poltergeist"

Tian lamented this miscalculation.

The furniture and things out of the circle begun to float and shoot at them inside the circle, they were besieged by the prefurnished rental house. Now there was nothing left in the room that wasn't inside the already ruined salt circle.

"At least it cannot kill us"

Samson said as he and Jason protected Sydney and Thany with their backs from the flying furniture.

Knives, spoons, forks flew in from the kitchen, now it was getting dangerous.

Tian took out some dust from his pouch and blew it towards the cutlery, causing a little child with a hideous wound in his head to appear under the floating cutlery.

"Try to survive!"

Tian shouted as he begun to chant his spell to destory the ghost, but he knew that he wouldn't be in time to save everyone.

The first knife failed to hit anyone, the second was caught in midair by Thany before he hit Samson's back.

The third headed right towards Tian, whom was still chanting his spell.

The chanting however stopped when he saw Xiao's eyes right in front of him, wide open looking at him, she had taken the knife for him.

"Continue chanting! Don't let her sacrifice be in vain!"

Jonas shouted from behind a small table.

Tian shouted the last few words of the chant and the ghost of Aidan exploded into light causing the cutlery to fall.

Tian however was more worried about Xiao, who proved to be dead, the knife had found her heart and there was nothing they could do. Tian however didn't shed a single tear, because this wasn't his Xiao, his Xiao was back in his world, living her life in tranquility.

Tian looked at Jonas as if annoyed, but the words that came from his mouth were "Thank you!"

The others only had bruises and scratches, nothing to be overly concerned about.

"Is it over?"

Sydney asked frightened, she was shocked that the ghost could overcome their defenses.

"Nothing is over, the ghost will be back and next time it will come even stronger than this time"

Tian explained, shoving their optimism into a dustbin.

"We have to survive 6 days of this?"

Mike was horrified by the idea, he regretted having left the safe space.

"Next time we will be prepared, we know what the enemy can do, thus we can prepare for it"

Jonas said determined, he evidently already had some plan in mind.
