168: Refused to Be Reincarnated

Refused to Be Reincarnated

The other two ghosts were female ghosts, standing behind George and the little boy.1

"Uncle George, why did you guys go over today?"

"It's nothing. We've been discussing this for a long time. Although we're not the instigators, we're still accomplices. We were deceived back then and did something like this to hurt children, so we thought we could make up for it."

George sighed as he spoke.

"Maybe it's right that we can't be reincarnated. People like us...don't deserve to be reincarnated."

Lauren pursed her lips and did not speak.

George's words were indeed correct. Even if they cooperated with Lauren to save the children, those children who were hurt had already been hurt. There was no way to erase the mistakes they made.

Lauren could not help but recall the moment when those ghosts were stabbed to death by Master Maverick's mahogany sword. What were they thinking?

Were they willing or unwilling?

Lauren had promised to help them reincarnate. Did they regret it at that moment?

The little boy next to George suddenly started sobbing. Ghosts did not have tears, but Lauren could tell from the little boy's expression and voice that he was crying.

It was already late at night. The moon shone brightly and hung high in the pitch-black night sky. The entire night was cold and quiet, which made the little boy's crying sound even more tragic.

"What is this little boy crying for?"

George patted the little boy's shoulder.

"Today, Liam's mother..."

George did not finish his sentence, but Lauren already knew the ending of this story.

When George mentioned his mother, the little boy cried even louder. He cried while calling for his mother.

Lauren did not know how to comfort Liam, because he would never see his mother again. Not in this life, and not in the next either.

They would never see each other again.

The soul was not reincarnated but dispersed. This meant that this person had disappeared from this world forever.

Lauren opened her mouth but did not say a word.

In this room, only Liam's low sobs echoed.

Today was also a day of joy for some and sorrow for others.

Meanwhile, Lauren was sandwiched between the two worlds. She felt both happy and sad. However, she could only bear these emotions alone. No one would feel the same way as her.

The past was the past. Lauren had no way to change it, so she had no choice but to change the topic.

"I promised you before. As long as you help me complete my mission, I will think of a way to help all of you reincarnate. Then, you can become human again."

Unexpectedly, George and the two female ghosts behind him shook their heads at the same time.

Lauren looked at them in confusion.

George explained, "We've been thinking about it for a long time. We don't think we deserve to be reincarnated. Many of our family members lost their souls today. It's meaningless for us to reincarnate on our own, so we've decided to be like them. We don't want to be reincarnate."

Lauren's eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time she had ever met a ghost who made such a request. They had the opportunity to reincarnate, but they rejected it.

"We just want to keep things the way they are. We've harmed people before, and now we want to use our own abilities to help others. We hope we can help ourselves and our loved ones to accumulate virtue."

"Have you thought through it carefully? There's only one such chance. If you miss it, you'll be in this manner forever."

The four ghosts nodded at the same time. They were very determined.

Lauren did not force them.

She believed that these ghosts would be good ghosts in the future, so she was willing to let them go.

"Then let's say our goodbyes here. Thank you for everything you've done today to save me."

Goodbyes were always sad, but they had no choice but to face it.

Although Lauren had not spent much time with these ghosts, she knew that they were once normal people. After becoming ghosts, there were many things that they could not control themselves.

But at least they had come to their senses.

She hoped that even if they remained as ghosts, they would find meaning in that kind of existence.

Watching them float out of the window one by one, Lauren silently waved at them and bid them farewell.

That night, Lauren had a good night's rest, recovering her strength. In her spiritual consciousness, she was also constantly restoring her energy.
