"You're hideous, those scholars created the word ugly to describe your horrible appearance."
"Mister, you gave the wrong answer. You gave the wrong answer. Now I can kill you... Now I can kill you. Rip that face into pieces! Rip that face into pieces."
"Good luck with that daydream."
"You're mine to kill. Today is your last day on earth."
Soon after saying those unpleasant words, she transformed into her real form, her cheeks were sliced from ear and ear, blood was dripping from her nose, maggots were going in and out of her eyes, and hairy black spiders were eating the bits and pieces of her regenerating brain.
Neal avoided her sharp claws like a professional, jumped to the other side, took out a butcher's knife from his jacket, and stabbed her in the gut.
"I know you are trying to be a copycat. But at least stick to the lore. You can't just change the rules."
"There is no one like me. I'm the original."
"Yeah... Yeah... Keep dreaming. You are just a cheap western variant of a Japanese urban legend."
"I'll gut you like a fish. I'll eat your liver raw. I'll barbecue your kidney on high flames."
"Meh... You talk too much."
The cosplaying spirit swiftly pulled out the butcher's knife from her gut like a deranged lunatic, blood started leaking, her eyes nearly popped out, a few unlucky maggots fell on the ground and immediately disintegrated into ashes.
"Wha- what's going on? I'm already dead. How can I still bleed?"
"Miracles do happen all the time. Maybe the sky daddy wants you to be gone for good?"
"You did this? You are the one who's responsible for this mess."
"Guilty as charged."
"What is happening to my body?"
"You are just dying."
"Bu- but how can that happen? I'm already dead."
"Don't ask me for the juicy details. I've got no clue about this at all."
"Surely you must know something. Please heal me. I don't want to die again."
"You were trying to kill me!"
"Oh... That was all jest. I was just playing around, just wanted to scare you a little."
"Girl, stop lying. I can still see hatred in your eyes and you're leaking killing intent like an amateur."
"Mister.. please have some pity on this little ghost. It's starting to hurt more, my insides are itching like someone is burning them with fire."
"Just stop resisting, and peacefully move on to the other side."
"I can't leave right now. I've to take care of my little sister, she's suffering from leukemia. I've to raise money from her treatment."
"Who you're trying to fool. All ghosts have amnesia. They can't remember a single thing."
"Shit. You already know about this?"
"Of course. In this world only I can see you."
"Stop bragging."
"I'm telling the truth."
"Others can see me. Some of them even waved in my direction."
"Those people saw nothing. Otherwise you'd have gone viral."
"Maybe you right. Maybe I'm the one who's wrong but still.. I don't want to die"
"Death is just the beginning. It's not the definite end."
"Shut up. Please be quiet. I don't want to talk about this anymore."
Seeing that the ghost had reached its breaking point, Neal already knew what he had do. He kicked her in the abdomen, stomped on her head, and started raining punches on her face, until she disappeared into nothingness.
"Shit. Another one. Two in a single day. This world is getting weirder and weirder."
"Damn this cruel world. I've been dealing with these spirits for the past ten years but I still haven't earned a single penny from this ghost hunting career. Just why no one expect me can see these wicked denizens of the underworld."
"Who has erased fear from this world? Nobody is afraid of anything anymore. Romance and fan-fiction have transformed those scary ghosts into beloved fan-favourite characters."
"Ugh... My head is aching like crazy. I must avoid being alone."
