Chapter 1622: Treat Yourself



Ning waited with Shara for a few minutes before two people came running out of the door. One of them was an older man with gray hair, wearing a golden necklace. The other was a shorter, but younger man with a bald head.

The bald man immediately looked around, doing something.

"Is that the girl?" the older man asked.

"Yes," the woman said. "She has powers, but can't interact with Spirits. When Frank tried to

go into her to test if she is an Overtaker... he was gone."

"He is gone," the bald man said with a frown. "I... I can't sense him at all. Our bond is destroyed."

"What can get rid of an Overtaker's bond?" the woman asked, surprised.

"I haven't heard of something like this happening before," the man said, before turning to Shara. "Young lady, do you know what you did to our Spirit?"VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

Shara seemed to shrink under the question. "N-no," she said.

"Is there a problem here?" Ning asked.

"We don't know," the man said. "We're trying to find out."

Ning nodded. "Okay, so about her situation. What is she?" he asked.

"I do not know," the old man said. "I will have to check the records to find out if there is anything. If not, she may be an anomaly."

Shara looked at Ning.

"It's not a bad thing, don't worry," he said and turned back around toward the old man. "How long will it take you to look up? Can I help you maybe?"

"Non-staff members are not allowed to read department records, so I will read it. Give me a day and come back tomorrow. I will have at least known if she had any power or not by then."

Ning nodded. "Thank you for the help," he said. "And for the Spirit that you guys lost... I hope you won't blame her."

The bald man seemed to want to say something, but the old man stopped him. "It is regretful that we lost Frank, but we do not hold a grudge against this young lady. It would be shameful to do so."

"Thank you," Ning said and began walking away.

Shara walked beside him, thanking the people meekly before walking past them. The woman walked along with them, showing them the way out.

Shara nodded.

<Ding!>

<You have received a quest>

Ning read it discreetly and nearly laughed. He had gotten a quest to feed Shara a tasty meal,

one which she had likely never had in her frugal life.

"Maybe there is a restaurant around he- "

Ning grabbed Shara and pulled her toward him as a boy ran past her. "Sorry!" the boy shouted,

running far away.

"Oh, thank you," Shara said, straightening herself.

Ning looked at her and then the boy. Shara looked toward him and saw his face. "What's

wrong?" she asked.

"That boy," Ning said. "There's a Spirit behind him."

"Oh," Shara said, turning around. The boy had disappeared into the crowd at this point, so she

couldn't see him properly.

"That Spirit... it went right through you," Ning said.

"Huh?" Shara asked. "Isn't... isn't that not supposed to happen?"

"I don't know what's supposed to happen. This is all new to me," Ning said. He thought for a

bit and nodded. "Maybe because that Spirit wasn't trying to go into you or attack you, it was

safe."

Which meant that Frank disappearing was likely her defense coming to work. "If a Spirit won't target you, you won't destroy it," Ning told her.

"Then... I don't have to be careful where I am?" Shara asked, beginning to feel hopeful.

"I believe so," Ning said with a wide smile. "That's a good news, isn't it?"
