Chapter 32 - "Hey,You Over There!"

A transmigrator?? 

Are these spirits referring to him?! 

Castra clenched his fists tightly and tried to remain calm while he kept listening to what the tool spirits in front of him were saying. 

Beer Bottle Spirit: "Foreigner, otherworldly people, transmigrator...did some ghosts mistakenly enter the Spirit World instead of going to the Demon World, blub blub?"

Flower Pot Spirit: "I don't know, flo flo, but maybe they're dangerous, so the officers are here to catch them!" 

What? It seems that…there are other transmigrators beside him? 

Castra was so shocked that he went into a daze while the group of officers had already started to check every spirit lining up. 

Soon, the officer found a few "suspicious" spirits. 

"This spirit...it is a frying pan spirit but it acts like a humanoid spirit! Catch it! It's suspicious!" 

"Ah? He's from the Fire Faction? Oh, okay, be careful, don't harm him, yes..."

"This one...a Trash Collector Spirit. How come you don't even know how to separate trash when that's your inborn talent??" 

"Suspicious! Take him away!" 

"This one here— she doesn't know anything about the Spirit World! It's impossible! Suspicious! Catch her!" 

"Let's see, she's from...Thunder Faction? Be gentle, everyone, take good care of her— " 

"Next— this one...a Fanta Spirit? From Water Faction...aha! Good catch...arrest her!" 

When Cola Can Spirit saw that the Fanta Spirit was caught, he almost jumped onto Castra's knee. 

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Why are we suspicious?! Is it because we are products from another world??" 

Water Can Spirit: "Spruuu— or maybe because of our faction. They're surprisingly gentle to suspicious spirits from the Fire and Thunder Faction." 

Cola Can Spirit: "Ahhh! Damn those overlords! Is this another faction struggle??" 

This time, it involved the so-called transmigrators! 

Beer Bottle Spirit: "Blub!! Don't speak like that, blub! What if the Spirit World's Administrator heard your words, blub? You will be done for, blub blub!" 

The spirits complained in groups while the officers caught a few spirits in one go. 

Coincidentally or not, among the spirits who was caught for being suspicious, there was really a transmigrator! 

And the transmigrator didn't want to surrender. 

Hey, hey, hey, he's the chosen one, a transmigrator!

Although he didn't get a cheat yet, he will soon get one! 

How could he let these officers catch him just because he's "suspicious"? 

Thus, the transmigrator fought back. 

"Hyahhh!" The transmigrator swung his fists with an evil grin. 

Eat this!! He's a province-level boxing champion! 

The wind blew hard and the officer...the officer easily caught the transmigrator's punches and squeezed the incoming fists with a blank face. 

This transmigrator...is a teddy bear spirit. 

"You're courting death!"

The captain of the officers showed no mercy and immediately tore the teddy bear spirit apart with his bare hands. 

"Ahhhh!!!" 

As the teddy bear spirit's body was torn to pieces and soft cotton sprung messily in the air, the spirit slowly disappeared into nothingness, leaving only the scream before his death. 

Castra instantly felt a chill down his spine. 

The spirits said that suspicious spirits from the Fire and Thunder Faction were safe, but looking at how the officers treated the other factions...

Since he's an earth element spirit related to the Earth Faction, if he's caught, he might end up like that teddy bear spirit! 

No, no, no, he had to leave! Now! 

But...if Dudu isn't registered, the officer would also come to find him…it's all the same! 

Ahhhh! Just where's the system when he needed it the most?? 

DUNG! [Heyooo, good morning~ Did you call me, my dear host? (⁠^⁠3⁠^⁠♪) ] 

A golden panel appeared out of thin air and Poo popped out of it with a bang. 

"Sh*t!" Castra shrieked, and the spirits around him, including the officers far away, subconsciously looked at him with dead fish eyes. 

...oops? Did he just attract the officers' attention instead? 

"Ahahaha. Sh*t! I sh*t my pants!" 

Castra clenched his thighs and the spirits around him immediately shifted their gazes away with disgust written all over their faces. 

A few officers were still staring at Castra with sharp eyes, but they didn't do anything and continued to interrogate the other spirits. 

Phew. That was close! 

Castra wiped his forehead with a shaky hand as he cursed Poo through telepathy, 

[Why did you scare me?! Will you die if you don't scare someone??] 

[QAQ No, no, dear host, I just want to give you a little surprise to start the day— ] 

[Start the day?? It's 9 o'clock! Where have you been??] 

[I-I am sorry, hostttttt! I-I overslept!! Hwang! Hwang! 。⁠:゚⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)゚⁠:⁠。] 

Poo cried tears and snot, but Castra was unmoved by a cute chibi poop. 

[Unless you work until 7 p.m today, I will report you for neglecting your duty! Your wage will be deducted!]

Wage deduction! The nightmare of office workers and all workers in every world! 

Poo immediately slid to his knees, begging for mercy, 

[Hooossstttt! Please forgive me! I-I will compensate you! I-I can also work overtime without pay! Just please, don't report meeee!! .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.] 

[Hmph. You better be. Anyway, I'm in a pinch right now, you see, there's this thing...] 

Castra hurriedly told Poo their current situation. 

Their bickering just now had wasted a few minutes and the officer was already checking the spirits in the middle of the line! 

Knowing the dire situation they were in, Poo immediately entered his professional mode. 

[Host, you can register online! Just pay 300 Spirit Coins and you won't have to line up here! The officers won't check you either!] 

?? 300 Coins for an online registration?! What a rip off! 

But he didn't have any other choices, so Castra could only apply for an online registration and watch half of his remaining money disappear into nothing. 

-300 Spirit Coins. 

"Huh. Look at this, Dudu. You're such a gold-swallowing beast." 

Castra poked Dudu's horns to tease it but Dudu seemed to understand that he made his master lose money, so he rubbed Castra's palm, trying to act cute. 

Dudu: Duuuu...(⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) 

Well, well, there's no use blaming Dudu. 

Since the registration is done...it's time to leave! 

Castra didn't waste time and immediately turned around, intending to leave when one of the officers, a female officer with a hot body, suddenly shouted at him, 

"Hey, the humanoid spirit over there! Why are you suddenly leaving?"

Ba-thump! 

Castra felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest. 

Ahhhh!
