The Joker's Butt Haunting Ends in Incident

A spectral figure appeared near a road clump in a north posat district township and collapsed with a dull thud. Two locals with a lamp found a battered boy gin amid wreckage, his leg broken and head lacerated, as the ghost was violently struck by a ram wielded by a nine horns guard. The episode ends with the district deeming the cat too long to continue sightings.
