Chapter 125 The Daily Life of Ghosts (2)

【The Musician Who Is Never Lonely – Nakime】

Since the establishment of the Infinity Castle, Nakime has been living a very comfortable life.

As an underground city built upon her Blood Demon Art, Nakime holds a very high status in the Infinite Castle and enjoys first-class treatment.

Compared to the original work, she is much more lively.

After resting and waking up, Nakime got up with the help of a group of zombies, dressed up in front of the mirror, and went to work looking beautiful.

Corpse-born humans are basically the standard servants of high-ranking ghosts.

The manufacturing method is simple and convenient, the strength is not strong, it will not threaten the ghost, and the risk of betrayal is very low.

Moreover, these undead people either became experimental subjects or servants, gaining favor and opportunities to become ghouls.

Compared to the currently popular Western style, Nakime is a true lover of classic styles and her love for kimonos remains unchanged.

Her wardrobe was full of kimonos of all colors. Nakime especially liked those gorgeous and dazzling styles of kimonos, but she usually wore kimonos in more subdued colors.

Upon reaching the control room, Nakime opened the door and strolled in. One after another, black-haired female ghosts greeted their superior.

"Greetings, Miss Nakime."

"Good evening, Nakime-neechan!"

"..."

The main control room, or more accurately, the place where the entire Infinite City is monitored and controlled.

Because the Infinite Castle is too large, Nakime alone is no longer able to control it.

This is why a main control room was established, and why many demons consumed Nakime's blood to assist the enemy in controlling the Infinite Castle. (Similar to the Spider Clan, demons can bestow their blood upon other demons, granting them Blood Demon Arts similar to their own.)

This job requires patience and meticulousness, so Shugo intervened in the initial screening, weeding out the demons with unsuitable personalities.

The assistant staff were all selected by Nakime. Due to her past experiences, Nakime chose only sweet and soft-spoken girls, except for a certain male demon who joined later.

Hiiragi nodded, saying that girls are generally more sensitive.

So when a ghost comes in and sees the scene in the control room, it will only feel that all the ghosts are like copies of each other, and it will be impossible to recognize who is who without them speaking.

Nakime had already been given the maximum amount of demon blood she could handle, including the Infinite Castle, a strategic-level ability, and she had also mastered the ability to create eye clones early on.

The eyeball clones, which were too fragile, were given the ability to become intangible thanks to Nakime's painstaking efforts to improve them.

Hiiragi was very satisfied.

The eye was inserted so skillfully that it was completely undetectable.

Nakime's job was actually quite easy. She was already used to multiple perspectives, not to mention working with so many demons, so slacking off was a natural occurrence.

Whenever someone is about to enter the Infinite Castle, Nakime will pluck the lute. She has always loved the lute; she loves its sound and the emotions it conveys.

However, Nakime was always aloof and self-absorbed, playing her own music and researching new pieces on her own.

Shugo had heard many biwas, and while Nakime's skill wasn't top-tier, it was still above average. So he simply hired a biwa master to teach Nakime as a way to win over the demon's heart.

Nakime was indeed very moved.

The kidnapped pipa master was terrified. After nervously teaching the ghost, he learned about the situation and shamelessly insisted on staying, eventually becoming one of the male ghosts who joined the group.

A pipa master, dizzy with happiness: This is heaven!

It seems that because they drank her blood, Nakime's subordinates are all basically skilled at playing several musical instruments. (On how to please one's superiors)

The ghosts often gathered together to play and hold concerts.

All the common Western musical instruments are available, even the simplest leaf blowing; they accept everything.

Nakime and everyone else had a great time playing music, but she was too disturbing to be heard from ghosts and was often complained about to Shugo.

The end result is that Nakime and her demon can only play music at fixed times.

Nakime, who seemed mild-mannered as long as she didn't cross the line, had no objections. However, the demon's hearing was too acute, and the loud music did annoy the demon. She felt that her current life was already paradise compared to the human era.

[The Abnormal Artist - Yu Hu]

Yu Hu was very satisfied with his new name; he didn't like the name Yi Yu Yi at all.

Yiyuyi is a name that only a fisherman would have.

The jade pot is clearly something only an artist would own.

Yu Hu, who proclaimed himself a great artist, was very pleased and thereafter had all the other ghosts address him in that way.

Not long after Yu Hu became a ghost, he was sent to the academy to learn the common knowledge of being a ghost, but Yu Hu was very dissatisfied.

Why don't colleges offer art classes?

Yu Hu doesn't understand!

Yu Hu felt this shouldn't be!

Not only were there no art classes, but the academy even forbade him from creating artworks.

In the spacious, bright, yet somewhat austere faculty office of the college.

The teacher, who was usually all smiles and kind, was now staring intently at the strangely shaped jade pot in front of him with a gloomy expression.

His brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes revealed obvious dissatisfaction and disappointment.

"Yu Hu, I think you should be very aware that after the exam results came out, you ranked last in the whole class!"

The teacher's voice was low and stern, suppressing his impending outburst of anger.

However, when faced with the teacher's reprimand, Yu Hu simply nodded nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned about such a poor grade.

His mind had already wandered far away, and he was constantly conceiving a work of art that he had recently devoted himself to creating.

This work embodies countless efforts and inspirations of his, and for him, its importance far surpasses any course or exam in school.

Seeing Yu Hu's nonchalant attitude, the teacher finally couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, stand up, and pretend to be furious and shout.

"Since you know perfectly well that you did so poorly on the test, why are you wasting your precious time on those useless things?"

"Do you really think you can graduate from school smoothly with these so-called works of art?"

Hearing her teacher belittle her beloved artwork in such a way, Yu Hu's resentment was instantly ignited.

He raised his head, looked directly into the teacher's eyes, and retorted without backing down.

"No! My artworks are the most valuable! Those boring and tedious courses are utterly worthless compared to them!"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and stood stubbornly in place, showing no intention of backing down.

If you don't graduate, I will be punished!

What kind of artwork is that? Is it some kind of eyesore?

The teacher's cheek twitched.

To be honest, not many ghosts really appreciate this art of stitching corpses together.

Ghosts: We are just carnivores who love to eat meat, not scavengers!

The ghosts were terrified by Yu Hu's obsession with sewing up corpses.

The teacher coldly issued an ultimatum: "If you fail again this time, I will report it, and you can get out of the school."

Despite her indignation, Yu Hu reluctantly and earnestly studied a bit of it.

Yu Hu made up his mind: he would save this ignorant school devoid of art!

Yu Hu, who is extremely restless: He came to the school as an art teacher after graduation to spread his artistic ideas!
