Credits to the persons who owned the Paranormal Glossary I saw in the internet. Sa kanila galing yung mga ginamit kong terms sa Code II.2.A-N. Kung gusto nyo silang bisitahin, just search "Paranormal Glossary".
Lahat po ng nabasa nyo from this "RIP Code" ay walang pinagbasehan na kahit na ano---pure imagination lang ito. Ginawa ko ito 5 years ago (nasa akin pa ang original manuscript for this thing) as guide ko sa buong Ghost Retriever manuscript.
Hehe, pasensya na sa kabaliwan ng inyong lingkod! May paganito-ganito pa akong nalalaman eh...hehehe.
I hope nag-enjoy kayo sa part na ito!
Sa mga susunod na chapters, mas maraming chapter ang naka-abide sa rules na ito kaya pwede nyo silang balikan from this part. :D
Maraming salamat!!!!
Kind regards,
