Transmigrated as a Ghost

​ "You said you wished to talk, but why were you sneaking around down here in the first place. We did not make it ease for this location to be discovered, but you managed to make your way down here without being discovered until you were right on top of us. Surely you are not just some looters looking for valuable items?" The lich said, his suspicion of Marcus still obvious.

Naturally he was not in the best of mood since his secret base had been discovered and Mrazivý had slipped away with information that could bury him and his friends.

"No, we were not here to steal from all of you. We are here because we discovered those pseudo soul fragments that you have been infecting people with." Marcus said a bit harshly.

He was feeling a bit less hostile towards all of them now that he knew that they were from Earth like he was, but that did not change the fact that they were surely behind what was going on here.

Surprise was the first reaction from the five undead, as they surely did not expect that someone had caught on to their greatest operation.

"Listen, it is not what you think." Alyna said to Marcus.

It looked like she wanted to elaborate further but the others gave her harsh looks and she shirked back.

Seeing this Marcus had to stifle a laugh since he never thought he would witness a shadowy humanoid undead monster acting this way.

'I suppose that they are all like me in a way though. They may have ended up as undead, but they still retained their humanity.'

Thinking about it this way helped Marcus to understand them a bit better and he was certain that they could likely have a productive discussion based on their similarities.

For a few moments everything stayed silent, and Marcus looked at each of the undead and from their subtle expressions realized what was going on.

"You know if you keep having a telepathic conversation like that I am just going to have to spend some of my skill points to get the telepathy jack skill so I can listen in." Marcus said.

This caused the lich and the other four undead to momentarily wince as they had been using telepathy to speak with each other so that Marcus could not here them.

The phantom armor who had certainly taken the brunt of Marcus' and Mrazivý's attacks turned towards Marcus and gave of a hostile aura.

"I think we should just kill him now and worry about the girl that escaped afterwards. We have already been discovered, so we might as well get rid of this guy before any of his other allies show up. Just because he is from Earth as well, which I am still not wholly convinced of, that does not mean we should trust him."

In response to this, Marcus just shrugged and looked towards each of the undead and waited to see their reactions.

Among them only the phantom armor and zombie empress gave him clearly violent reactions. While the lich and skeleton champion seemed conflicted, and Alyna the dread wraith looked like she did not want to fight at all.

Things may have calmed down momentarily but it was still a fact that Marcus and Mrazivý had snuck in and the group of undead from Earth that had made this place their base were extremely wary now that they had been discovered.

"No, I already said that we could talk. Let us at least hear him out for now. If it comes down to it, we can just kill him later." The lich said, having made up his mind.

The others seemed to fall in lien with him since he was the highest level one among them by far and held the greatest authority.

"Now, how did you discover what we were doing here? It should be almost impossible to detect the pseudo soul fragments as you called them. And we make sure to vet anyone strong enough to possibly notice and exclude them." The lich asked.

Raising an eyebrow Marcus shook his head and said, "I already answered one of your questions, I think it only fair that you answer one of mine."

Unfortunately, the lich just glared at him as did the other undead other than Alyna.

"You broke into our home and destroyed one of my servants and did who knows what else while you were here. We are only having a civil conversation right now because of Alyna and the fact that you are likely from Earth as well. I doubt that many inhabitants from this world would know all those random phrases you spouted out, but we have no real way to confirm you are really from Earth since you can hide your skills. Now answer our questions or I will use my mind magic to control you." The lich said, frustration and a hint of fear in his voice.

Marcus just scoffed at this though. He knew that the lich had actually already tried to use his mind magic on him and failed thanks to Marcus Still Mind unique skill that made him immune to mental tampering.

"Enough bluffing. If you could control my mind you already would have done so." Marcus said, a fierce look in his eyes. "Now I will make you a deal. I will answer three more of your questions and then you will answer one of mine. Frankly, it is in your best interest to tell me what I want to know since I am actually giving all of you the benefit of the doubt since we all came from the same place. At first our only goal was to scout the place out and determine what was going on before destroying this place as a threat to the world."

After hearing this the phantom armor who was named Cassius looked ready to charge Marcus and run him through, but Alyna moved in front of him in order to calm him down.

Tensions had spiked again now that Marcus had voiced his original intentions and the lich along with his companions all looked visibly shaken.

Naturally they knew what would happen to them if the world at large knew exactly what they were using the Resort they had created for.
