Jia and Ms. Lilian agreed to meet at Sir Benjamin's place tonight. After leaving Ms. Lilian at the train station, we went to the hospital.We used the same discreet way when I brought Jia here for the first time.Jia put the folder on the desk. She glanced at Lucas who was still gazing blankly at the air. "He is awake, right?""He is. But at the same time not.""What do you mean by that?""I think he is stuck between the world of the dead and the living. Lucas is...." I halted.Right, Jia doesn't know Lucas was half demonized."Not now. I can't fully explain it to you yet."Jia: "???"I can't fully tell Jia Lucas's condition. Not because I don't trust her. I let her in here because I trusted her. It was Sir Benjamin's bizarre abilities that I don't trust. What if he has spells to know what a person was thinking?"I already put the first folder together with the notes. I hope they can take the bait."I smiled assuringly, "Don't worry. The folders we sent them before have already been
Although Jia was still scared, it could not be seen in her face or her body movements.I gave Jia a thumbs up. "Good job! Keep up the good work!"Jia became more firm. She was becoming courageous with my cheer.An hour later, Michael finally arrived at the scene."Where is she?" I heard his voice from outside the room. His voice was heavy and deep.Jia unconsciously swallowed. I went to her back and patted her, "Don't worry, I am here. I won't let them hurt you."Jia whispered, "What can you do? You are a ghost.""Ghosts have some uses too, you know."Although I can't block any incoming fist to Jia, I could still support her. If the worst thing happens, then I have no choice but to seek help from Sir Benjamin. Although I might pay a big price, that doesn't matter.Michael came in and saw Jia.His thick eyebrow moved, "This child is indeed young.""???" What does he mean by that?Michael took the chair in front of Jia. "I have heard the situation from my men. You are caught red-handed
The negotiation went well. Convincing Michael was not really easy, but they don't have a choice but to trust Jia.Even if they could not trust her, to get the second information that was necessary for their infiltration plan, they have to go along with Jia's whims.When Jia left, Michael and the team leader discussed in the room."Is it enough to give her a blank check?" The team leader asked.Jia and I could not come up with a proper price for the information. We did not expect to get caught in the act and deal with them so soon. To get out of the situation, I told Jia that we should use a blank check first.Thankfully, Michael did not care about how much money the information would cost them and generously gave Jia a blank check with his signature on the front.This made Jia and I shocked.Does it mean that no matter how much we wrote here they could give us the exact same amount?I was so skeptical about it so I stayed with Michael and his men in the room. Of course, the purpose wa
What kind of ghost would reject this offer? Either they give up in life or I am hiding something.Either way, they would be suspicious of me."I understand. That's truly a good offer. But...as I said, I am not yet prepared. What if the capital decided to keep me there for the sake of investigation? As you said, I am a valuable person who knows a lot in this case. They would surely burden me with a lot of work."I can't do it right now. Sir Reynold should know that I just died three months ago. I still have plenty of things and knots to be untied in my past. And I can't do that if I am in the capital. Thus, I could only go to the capital once I settled my personal business."My words were not lies. Although my personal business such as the investigation about my identity was still on hold, which reminds me of the folder about myself that I haven't read yet, Lucas and Sister Nancy's matter was personal for me too.And they are running out of time than me. Their matters are more urgent
When I met Bite in the other room, I was taken aback.Bite was carrying a bag with a lot of daily necessities in one hand, and the other hand, he was carrying packs of candies.He really looked like someone who was in the middle of shopping.Today must be his payday."You look tired." Bite handed me a candy."How generous of you," I said as I accepted the candy."Well, it should be the employer who should give us free takeaways like this.""..." Now I am guilty.I still have the tokens with me. This reminds me to buy some candies for my employers and for Will."I will keep that in mind.""Mhm. By the way, why did you ask for me specifically? I think it's not related to the investigation, right?"Bite caught my hint right away."Yes. Actually, I want to assign you for another mission.""Only me?""How much progressed you have with the investigation?""We haven't found anything new aside from our initial investigation. We are still keeping records of Mathew's daily life and the shifts b
A/n: This chapter is already fixed. Thank you for waiting. **** Jia stood beside the cafe. The cafe was crowded with many students since school had just ended. But there were still a few empty chairs left inside. A staff came out to throw trash and saw Jia standing outside the cafe. "Student, there are still empty tables inside." The staff was polite to Jia seeing she was wearing the school uniform of the school where most of the customers came from. Jia just waved her hand. "Thank you, I am good." Jia decided to wait outside because if she entered inside where many students with the same uniform as her, Kelly's guests would have a hard time finding her. Jia was not even sure if Kelly would send a living person. But she assumed that it was a ghost. So waiting outside would be easier for the ghost to recognize her. After all, she would be the first person that the ghost would see. However, not everything goes according to plan, three female students suddenly approached Jia and
Bite approached Jia. "Are you perhaps Jia?"Jia nodded. "Yes, I am."The girls who were laughing stopped for a moment before they laughed again. They thought Jia was answering them."Oh gosh, isn't she a joker? No matter what you do you can't escape from us.""Do you think your little show earlier would scare us? This bitch keeps making fun of us. This is making me angry!"Bite looked at the girls who were laughing and cursing at the same time. He looked back at Jia who seemed not concerned about this strange situation where she was meeting a ghost while having a confrontation with a bullying group."Are you in trouble? Do you want me to help?"Bite has many questions as such as how this living human could see him, but right now wasn't the time. He was quick so he knew what to say and do in this situation.Jia was amused at his question. "How can you help me?"One of the girls noticed that Jia was staring at the empty space and saying things that doesn't match their conversation. Alth
A/n: This chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting. **** I wonder how the meeting between Jia and Bite went. Would Jia be shocked by Bite's horrifying appearance or would Bite would be flabbergasted after finding out he was meeting a living person? I wonder how their reaction would be. Nothing would go bad right? I am super curious about the meeting but I decided to leave it to Jia and trust Bite. I leaned on the bed and stared at Lucas who never once blinked. The nurse was currently putting an eyedrop on Lucas. "Lucas...How long are you going to stay like this?" I brushed my fingers to his long lashes as if I am feeling how long and thick they were. "You will wake up soon, right?" There's no response. At this moment, the door opened. Michael and his people arrived. He asked the nurse how Lucas was and took the job of putting the eyedrop on Lucas' other eye. I harrumphed seeing Michael acting like a father. I still resent this man for not being a good father and not protect
