The Spirit Hunter System
A Tree

James who was initially relaxed was instantly on standby when he saw the serious-looking Adam. The man pointed a gun at the enemy. He looked at the skinny little boy with a somewhat confused expression.

Could this brat actually be an evil spirit? A ghost? The Demon King's reincarnation?

Looking towards James and Adam, Carole and Jasmine also appeared to be on standby. Meanwhile, the village chief was shocked and looked worried.

"Stop pointing a gun like that, Mr. James."

James sees Adam raising his left hand, hinting that everything is in control.

The figure of the young man with a black skull mask that looked mysterious and terrible was walking towards the little boy named Nam.

"Your name is Nam, right? I'm a special agent with the Blood Owl code. The other three brothers are my comrades, Flame Imp, Oni, and Siren."

"Owls?"

The boy tilted his head with a confused expression. It doesn't seem dangerous at all.

"Yes. We're here to check if you're in contact with the evil creatures that kidnapped the villagers."

Hearing Adam's words, Nam immediately shook his head. He hurriedly said.

"I don't know that at all."

"Although the citizens think you're a strange child? Goddamn kid? Or something?"

"Maybe because I'm weird?" Nam looked a bit confused.

"The boy called himself weird, that's suspicious." James stroked his chin.

Ignoring James, Adam said in a calm tone.

"Where are your parents, Nam? Can—"

"I'm sorry, Officer Owl. Nam's parents .. they're dead."

Hearing the speech of the village chief, the expressions of Adam and his three comrades instantly stagnated. They all immediately looked at the middle-aged man with a look of blame.

The four people immediately stared at Nam. Realizing that the boy was still smiling, they were quite surprised. Didn't expect that a little boy like himself really had such a strong heart.

"I'm sorry, son. I didn't mean it that way" said Adam softly.

"It's okay, Officer Brother. I'm used to it." Nam smiled kindly.

"Can you stretch out your hand, Nam?"

The boy named Nam was a bit confused, but still stretched out his hand.

Adam held the boy's hand. Sensing a rough palm that a child should not have, he let out a long sigh. The young man then sensed something then his expression became even more serious.

"Can I and the other three sisters stop by your house, Nam?"

"You want to come?"

Nam's eyes immediately sparkled, seemingly glad that anyone would come to visit him.

"If it can." Adam said softly.

Although excited, Nam was still staring at the village chief. It seemed to be asking permission from the middle-aged man.

"It looks like you have a special relationship with the village chief, Nam?" ask Adam directly.

"That's ...."

Nam looked confused. Seen trying to hide it, but it was clearly visible on the boy's face.

"He's my nephew, Officer Owl. His father is my brother."

Hearing the words of the village chief, Adam and the other three looked suspicious.

"Then why did you let your own niece live alone on the edge of the village!"

It was not Adam, but James who initially seemed not to care much directly walked towards the village chief and held the collar of the middle-aged man's shirt.

Nam ran straight past Adam. The boy pulled James's clothes while pleading.

"Please let go of Uncle! Uncle is completely innocent. He always helps me."

Looking towards Nam who was trying to protect his uncle, James released the village chief with a reluctant expression.

"How about going in and discussing everything inside?"

Looking towards Adam, the others finally nodded gently.

***

A few hours later.

"So so ..."

Listening to the explanation from the village chief, Adam said with an expression of understanding.

According to the story of the village chief, Nam's father was an ordinary farmer. One day he helped a woman who was drifting in a river. Yes, that woman is Nam's mother.

The woman lost her memory. Nam's mother is a very beautiful woman. But many disliked her because the woman was very quiet and did not interact much with the villagers.

The village chief, his younger brother, and several young villagers built houses on the outskirts of the village. Of course, even though the woman was quiet, she still thanked them.

Initially many residents, especially for the village girls who feel that the beauty will disturb them. But after a few months, everyone got used to it.

Many young men tried to chase after the woman, but the one who won the woman's heart was Nam's father.

Nam's name is actually taken from the word 'namu' which means tree. Naturally, by that name they wished their son was like a tree that could benefit the people and the surroundings.

Only, an accident occurred when Nam was three years old. Both of the boy's parents died. Because of the strange condition when they died, they were both considered to be cursed or something like that.

Eventually, the child had to live alone. Of course, as an uncle, although many forbade him to take care of Nam for the reason of the 'curse', the village chief was still taking care of and helping his nephew.

Curse ... is it?

Adam thought as he looked towards Nam. The little and skinny boy looked back at Adam. Blinked his eyes with a curious expression. It still seems a bit confused and astonished by Adam's appearance.

"Can I talk to Nam myself, Mr village chief?"

"This ..." The village chief seemed to hesitate.

"Just calm down, Mr. Owl won't treat Nam badly."

James immediately supported Adam. Carole and Jasmine also nodded gently.

After a moment of thought, the middle-aged man nodded.

"All right."

Hearing that, Adam felt quite satisfied.

"Then you go with the village chief to return or go around the village to find information."

"Good!" answer the other three in unison.

James felt something was wrong. He was the leader, but clearly the one leading this mission was even Adam. Not wanting to think much, the man shook his head.

After they left, only Adam and Nam remained inside the log house.

"Tell me ... where did you learn to gather Qi energy, Nam?"

Hearing Adam's words, Nam looked confused.

"Qi???"

"Yes." Yeah."

Adam stretched out his hand. The Qi energy he had transformed into wind attribute enveloped his right hand. The young man then said softly.

"You can see it, right? There's such a thing in your body."

"really? Do I have that kind of energy?"

Looking at the astonished Nam, Adam pulled back the Qi energy in his hand. The young man felt strange. But after thinking for quite a while, he suddenly felt surprised.

Adam then went back to observing Nam from top to bottom. After thinking hard, he finally decided.

"Do you want to be my student, Nam?"

Hearing Adam's words, Nam's eyes immediately widened.
