The ghostly souls wanted to speak out but looked to Dorian for permission.
"4 minutes... That's all you have."
"Thank you!!!!"
The ghostly beings were ecstatic, seeing how understanding Dorian was.
And without wasting more time, they floated towards their loved ones to say their final goodbyes.
Already, they could feel some nonexistent pressure pounding their beings, wanting them to leave this world.
Again, being ghosts, they also seemed to see the world through different eyes.
Everything just seemed too strange from what they remembered when alive.
Though it was regretful that they died, they knew there was nothing they could do about it.
What's done is done. They were already dead.
And now, all they ask for is for their loved ones to key their last requests before they go.
Some people already had wills, while others didn't. Again, some people had died, leaving their 11~13-year-old children alone in this world.
They could only ask the neighbors and the other town folks to guide them.
As for whether a few sneaky people would try holding what didn't belong to them? The ghosts didn't think so.
Just now, the one named Chan-ki had mentioned to the entire group of people that if they promised to do something but didn't do it because of greed... They would only incur bad karma. And in some cases, it could lead to accidents, bankruptcy, death, and even the chance to attract more of these creatures.
Just as Chan-ki had said... What you take from like, life would take back from you 5 times over.
.
F***!
The words chilled many, making some with greedy hearts throw the thought away.
What a joke.
After experiencing all this, who would want a chance to get targeted by these creatures because of their bad karma?
What was scarier was that sometimes, bad karma could affect their entire family's life.
So they dared not play with their children's futures because of greed.
It can be seen that after hearing Chan-ki's words, many decided to turn a new leaf.
In the end, they started being afraid of messing around with anyone.
No... It was better to live open and clean lives, no matter how tough things got.
"What you take from life... Life will take back 5 times more."... A few murdered the words repeatedly, as though enlightened by why after so many years of cheating peolle, they were still at the bottom of the financial pole.
Sometimes, what they took would finish off very fast in a blink of an eye as though fate was playing with them. Many shook their heads wryly.
Sigh...
It all makes sense now.
Some wives and husbands who knew their partner's natures couldn't help tightening their children.
" I'll tell you now! If you dare to do anything despicable after this, I won't mind divorcing you! And don't even think I would leave the children with someone who will rub his bad karma on them!!"
Some parents and families reprimanded their children instead.
"From now on, you better act upright. Or I will kill you myself!!"

.
After today, it would be a lie if they said they weren't affected.
Dorian places his hands in his pockets, lazily staring at the scene before him.
Humans were such a funny bunch.
They might say they wouldn't do things now.
But after 1~5 years, most of them might revert to their old ways.
The fear of today's matter had struck them hard. But after a while, that so-called fear would diminish, as though everything that happened was a long distant dream.
Additionally, generations and generations would come after this, with people growing up with various personalities.
It's possible for humans to change for the better permanently. However, that comes with a lot of hard work and a strong willpower not to take shortcuts in life.
But the human system and society always dwelled on shortcuts.
From diets to make one lose weight in a week to illegal drugs that boost one's physique during sports competitions, and even those who steal or buy off exam questions... Humans loved shortcuts, hardly having the will to sit through long periods to get things done.
How many of these people will keep their current actions of change?
Dorian would say only about 10~15%.
Even back in his formal world with underworld beings, ghosts, and many other strange things known to the public, wasn't crime still being committed?
People knew working with underworld beings would cause them severe heavenly punishments. And yet, they still did it, wanting to live this life to their fullest, damning the consequences.
That is, why worry about what would happen after they died when they were still alive and kicking?
Again, many knew that if they killed someone, they had to do it without the person seeing their faces, or else the special division exorcists on the Police forces would find the ghosts and extract information about who their killer was.
In his former world, people tried to go around the system while doing crime.
Humans were a bunch that would only promise a thing for a while before suddenly changing their minds later on.
It's because of human nature that the Exorcism tests involve checking the Yin and Yang, fate, luck factor, and many other aspects of people.
No one wants a touch exorcist who would one day join the enemy camp of underworld beings.
Thus, such things were checked.
Sure... Once in a while, some switched to the dark side. But ever since these sets of tests got added in, the number had greatly reduced.
But Dorian wasn't satisfied with this.
That's why he also did several other tests of his own.
What a joke!
He had a big battle coming up soon. So who needed a spy in his academy in times like these?
In the end, a majority of humans were so unreliable... Yet, they were also treasured by those above.
And in a way, Dorian could understand why the fallen princes of the underworld got annoyed with humans and tell from the heavens.
That said, it was wrong to put all humans in one bunch. That's where they got it wrong.
.
Dorian briefly looked at his watch.
"Time's up."
It was time they left.
