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
A/n: This chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting. *** I decided to put off my meeting with Jia. That girl should be busy with Ms. Lilian's affair and her business with Bite. As I was waiting for the infiltration day, I went to the monastery first. The promised day has arrived. I bought a pack of candy first before looking for Will. "Big Sister!" Will ran to me with a smile. It was rare for him to greet me so warmly. "Did you miss me?" Will hugged my waist and then directly reached out for the pack of candies I was carrying. He hugged it close to his face before answering, "Of course! I miss you!" "...." I am sure he was saying this to the pack of candy that I brought. I ruffled Will's hair. "Are you having fun here?" "Yes! I met children of my age! There is the sickly Allen, Julius of the bus accident, and Molly who choked!" Me: ( ̄ - ̄;) "...Don't introduce anyone again in this way." Geez, this kid why you should tell other people how those kids died? It's saddening. Wil
"...Can you please describe it for me?"I have so many questions to ask but this was the first one that came out of my mouth."Yes, Will's benefactor. In front of me, I see a majestic door with a golden handle and golden frames. I am not sure why I know this, but I feel that when Will and I entered that door, a new life awaits for me.""A new life..." I muttered. "H-how do you feel?""...I feel lighter." Will's mom held Will's hands and took a step forward. "It's calling to me.""Big Sister! I want to play with you, but I love to be with mommy more! Don't hate me okay!"I opened my mouth to reply. I wanted to say many things but my words were stuck in my throat.Everything happened so unexpectedly and suddenly that I don't know how to react for a moment.I am sad that Will is leaving but at the same time, I am also relieved. Will doesn't have to live the fate of a cruel end.I just smiled, "Of course, I won't hate you. I would bring the rest of your snacks to your friends.""Hehe! Tha
****After I asked that question, Sir Benjamin's eyes sparkled as if I presented him with an interesting gift."Of course!" After his cheerful reply, he asked for the address and all of us disappeared.When I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of a six-floor apartment."Is this the place? Oh! I felt a rich Yin energy on the third floor!" Sir Benjamin was so happy that he even spun around as he took a sniff at the surrounding. "This cold and murderous aura! A greater demon!""Ahm...Kelly, are we at the address you mentioned?" Jia was still holding a fork with a slice of cake on it. I nodded. I am too still holding my half-eaten cookie.Ms. Lilian stood up straight with a calm expression. She was holding her teacup and was still drinking on it.We disappeared suddenly and appeared here without warning."The place where a demon resides?" Jia asked again."Yes."Jia slapped her forehead. "Didn't you just tell me not long ago that demon ate souls? So why all of us are here?!"I glanc
The demon opened its majestic mouth to directly swallow us. Our surroundings turned dark. The demon was using its gigantic size to eat us in one mouthful.Jia and I squeezed together. "This is how you feel when you are eaten by a demon?" Jia asked in a cold sweat."We are not in its stomach yet. Once you are in the demon's stomach, you would forget about yourself and merge your soul with it. You will experience its life and death. It would be in a continuous cycle until you and the demon become one. Our soul is basically nourishment for the demons.""That doesn't comfort me at all." Jia paled.Sir Benjamin glanced at me, "So it's not a lie when you said you were eaten many times.""Eyes forward!" Jia and I yelled at him. He was supposed to be fighting the demon and protecting us. Not gossiping!Sir Benjamin chuckled, "What are you ladies so afraid of? I think what you should be afraid of was not the one in front, but the one behind you."Sir Benjamin's words made my eyes turned wide
It was an annihilation.It was not a battle between a demon and a grim reaper.But rather, a slaughter.Sir Benjamin closed his umbrella with a 'poof'. He finished humming his tune and turned to us with a gentle smile on his face."The job is done, ladies."Jia, Ms. Lilian, and I: "...."We were all speechless.Sir Benjamin did not even break a sweat on fighting the demon. If he wants to, he could obliterate the demon in a matter of seconds. I guess he dragged the fight to see if we could restrain Ms. Lilian or perhaps a test if Ms. Lilian could hold back her demon self.And I was sure that if Ms. Lilian was fully demonized, Sir Benjamin would not hesitate to harvest two demons at once.Was the demon in the hallway not enough to satisfy Sir Benjamin that's why he wanted to add one for the thrill?He called that enormous demon punny after all.I get it though.Sir Benjamin was powerful that he had the right to become arrogant.If Lucas and I hunted this monstrous demon, there would be
Lucas Aden.I swallowed my nonexistent saliva.This could not be a coincidence. There's no way that Ms. Lilian's son just happens to have the same name as Lucas."Your husband...or rather your ex-husband. What is his name?"Ms. Lilian was confused about why I am asking these things, but she still answered me. This time, her eyes were cold as she uttered her husband's name."Michael."My eyes faltered."Can you tell me what happened after you and your son got into an accident?""I died at that time and my son survived. But his legs...he became disabled at a young age. Because of his disability, my brilliant son who should have a bright future was constantly bullied by his own peers and the people around him. They turn their back on him once they found out that his legs were hopeless." Ms. Lilian clenched her fist.The memory I experienced as Lucas...A disabled Lucas.I took a deep breath and asked something that might seem offending."...Does your husband has a mistress?"At the mentio
It was midnight when Ms. Lilian finally came out of the room.Although ghosts did not get tired, we could still be worn out emotionally and spiritually. It weakens one's soul. And if a demon's energy already tainted a soul, it could trigger demonization.When Ms. Lilian came out, I could feel that her presence was weak, the coldness around her was freezing. The shadow behind her was moving. Her eyes were flashing red and her arms were covered with blackness like charcoal.From this distance, I could feel the familiarity of meeting a demon.Ms. Lilian tried to cover her blackened arms, but it was futile. She spoke after a long time, "I got too emotional that it is hard to keep myself in check."She was talking about her demonization.Ms. Lilian was emotionally triggered. Any person in her place would not be so calm after what she experienced. Meeting her son and seeing his pitiful state, Ms. Lilian's sanity almost flew out of the window.It was already a mircale that Ms. Lilian was a
