Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Water Ghosts' main force finally reached the vicinity of the trap, and a few of the nearby ones began eagerly fighting over the decaying corpses on the ground.
Their slender fingers with sharp nails constantly dug into the soft, sticky, blood-soaked rotten flesh and stuffed it into their mouths.

Gauss watched with some physical revulsion, especially recalling the strong stench he smelled from afar while setting the traps earlier, he even felt a bit like vomiting.

Seeing the Water Ghosts treating those corpses, which smelled worse than excrement, as delicacies to fight over, Gauss resolutely refused to believe the folklore that Water Ghosts might originate from drowned humans.
We must thoroughly cut ties with such notions.
