Chapter 223: Baekha's Plan (3)

"I just read your memories," Hobin lied. "You were talking to some Casper and a boy's ghost. Who are they?"

This lie came to him naturally. It was one of the perks of being a psychometric demon.

"Oh," Jina said. "Casper was a friend of mine. He used to stay with us and even knew Shinho well. A very nice person. He was killed by his enemies but held no grudges against them. In fact, he only wanted to meet his grandson. Casper was mute so he couldn't communicate with people well. There were many misunderstandings between him and his grandson which is why he stayed back. But when the misunderstandings were solved, he decided to leave."

There was a hint of melancholy in her tone as she remembered her old friends. All of them had departed one by one, leaving her behind all alone. 

Hobin did not interrupt her but listened to her stories as she recalled her spirit friends.
