Dan entered the organization, and the place seemed vast and imposing.
He smiled sarcastically and said, "Are all these ghosts?"
Liam answered coldly, "No, just employees assigned to us by the King. The real ghosts within this organization... five. Excuse me, six with you."
Dan stopped in his tracks as a girl walked past him. Her hair was red as a flame, and she was wearing a pure white dress. She moved lightly as she danced in the corridor, as if she didn't belong in this world. He exchanged a strange look with her, and he looked away in surprise.
"Who is that?" Dan asked.
Liam smiled. "Um... Eleonora. She usually does that; dancing is her way of expressing herself."
They continued walking, and Dan asked, "And what is your role, anyway?"
Liam said seriously, his smile fading. "We fight ghosts that haven't completed their rebirth. When the body returns without a mind, it becomes like a predatory animal. Have you ever tried to become someone's food?
There was a brief silence before he added in a low voice, "That was my first death... I never imagined I'd ever become a meal... They're a real danger, you'll see."
Dan grinned sarcastically. "Who said I'd stay here? I don't see any reason why I'd join you."
Liam laughed. "Do you have money in your pocket?"
Dan reached out and was surprised to find some bloodied coins. He frowned. "No... I don't have anything..."
Liam leaned closer and whispered, "That's why you must stay with us. Outside, you're just a ghost. Here, you're among your real family. We're the ones who shared the blood of the first dead."
They continued walking until they reached a massive door. Liam pushed it open without knocking. "Now... I'll introduce you to Moron, the leader of the squad."
Dan walked in with cautious steps, extending his hand to shake Moron's, but he did not expect that at the same moment, a powerful punch hit his face and knocked him to the ground, and he lost consciousness immediately.
