...The suppressed aura that Ms. Lilian was trying to hold finally found an outlet.It erupted.Such a massive and frosty aura expanded all throughout the field of the mansion. Fortunately, there was a barrier in Sir Benjamin's gate, or else this demonic aura would envelop the whole mountain. I felt the oppressive aura of the demon. Just this cold aura was enough to attack my soul. My soul body froze and my feet were rooted on the ground.If the demon stood in front of me, while I couldn't move or run away, I might have been eaten on the spot. This was frightening.This aura...I have never experienced such a great aura of a demon before. It was as if I was facing a huge demon bigger than a mountain. My instinct told me that with one wave of its hand, it would send my soul to explode.Such overwhelming power....A name suddenly came to my mind.A Greater Demon.Lucas beside me was also affected greatly. His eyes changed. The redness on his pupil glowed in both of his eyes and the shad
I was stunned.A universe was inside the umbrella?Sir Benjamin did not give us much time to process his words and the scenery before us. While Ms. Lilian was dazed and suppressed, he attached a golden talisman to Ms. Lilian's forehead."This place could not be entered easily even for a great reaper like me. Every second is paid by my life. But I made an expectation for you, Lady Lilian."Sir Benjamin plastered another talisman all over Ms. Lilian's body. On her chest, on her knees, and on her back."Everyone who came here forget their self, their senses, and their desires. This is the perfect place to give you a painless execution."I looked at Ms. Lilian who still had a dazed expression.So that's why her aggressiveness was nowhere to be seen.The process was smooth and fast. Sir Benjamin said a few words that we could not understand, the golden rope and the golden talismans suddenly brightened with light, covering Ms. Lilian's entire body with it.The rich Yang energy enveloped Ms.
Chatting with Jia made me forget a lot of my worries even if it was temporary.She was right. I also need to think about myself. However, I can't really further investigate or try to remember things since I have something important to do. I am afraid that once I remembered my past self, I would wake up. Then there's no way I could help Lucas and Sister Nancy. Unlike Jia who could see and communicate with ghosts, I am like other normal people with no ability. Besides, what if I have no memories of this world?I could not afford to risk the only chance Lucas and Sister Nancy has. After all, I am the sole discoverer of the clues behind the door-to-the-afterlife. I can't leave now.I promise Jia that once I helped Lucas and the monastery, I would focus my attention on myself.Jia was frustrated but have no choice but to support me."Fine! Go and research about the so-called door to the afterlife. I would help you find clues about yourself. Once you are ready to face your identity, just c
When we returned to the mansion, Sir Benjamin was already waiting for us. Sir Benjamin looked spirited as if the earlier pale look was just an illusion. This time he already prepared a table full of snacks for us. Jia was already eating and attacking the cake. I immediately pull Lucas towards the table. I served him tea and cut a huge slice of cake and put it on his plate. I whispered to him, "You have to eat a lot. This is a rare chance. Eat as much as possible or else Jia would finish it all. She is very competitive." "I can hear you," Jia said as she munched on the cake. I pretended I did not hear that and began eating. Lucas looked at us who was stuffing our faces as if we haven't eaten for decades with a baffled look. He then started drinking tea first. His table manners were good. Like Ms. Lilian, he eat gracefully, but the speed of his spoon was fast. He did not eat less than us. Sir Benjamin who was ignored because of the snack: "...." "Cough!" A loud cough interrupt
Lucas and I left when the morning arrives. Sir Benjamin did not see us off. According to Jia, he was already gone when she woke up.I am really grateful to Sir Benjamin, but I don't want to see him again if possible. Because seeing him means that there was someone I had to lose.On the way back, I was suddenly reminded of one thing I have forgotten. The place where Lucas would stay.Since Lucas' body was not on the same floor as me anymore, where would he go?Would he stay in the same place when it reminds him of the painful past?I glanced at Lucas. He was still wearing the necktie I gave him. He was also silent and his expression was solemn. Knowing Lucas, there must be something complicated in his mind.I was scared to ask.What if he decides to find a place far away from the hospital? That place gave him no good memories.Would we not see each other then? What if he decided to explore other places he hadn't been into? Would he leave me? No...He can't yet. I am still looking for
We went to the haunted mansion directly. I have no time to read the letter so I only keep it on me.When we arrived, the people crowded around us again. They were pleasantly surprised that I brought Lucas with me. Lucas and I was a celebrity to these people.Carl got the news of us coming here so he immediately run towards us."Great contribu-!" The rest of Carl's words were swallowed down when he saw Lucas. His jaw dropped.Carl glanced at me and then at Lucas. He shut his mouth. I could literally hear his gear turning. He then decided on something and jumped toward Lucas. He wrapped his arms around Lucas' shoulder affectionately like a good friend who haven't seen his friend for a long time."Luas! Man! You disappeared suddenly!""..." I want to smack Carl's mouth. Don't speak about it so loudly! Others might notice and figure it out!Lucas just shook his head. "I have something going on so I have to disappear without notice.""You made me worry. I thought you..." Carl halted. He t
The ghost market in the haunted mansion was lively as usual.Lucas was a celebrity in this place. Since he had both reputation and money, the booth sellers immediately crowded around him. However, because the stingy Carl was with him, they only said their greetings and said in passing about their new products.Lucas just nodded at them with a smile.When the crowd dispersed, he tapped the arm that was around his shoulder. "You could let me go. I won't follow her inside."Carl took off his arm, "You noticed?""I knew you long enough to know that you deliberately pull me away. It's not just because you are glad to see me, right?""Hey, I am really glad to see you. I am worried this time. I thought you totally become a demon."Lucas touched the necktie over his right eye and muttered, "...I almost."Lucas was not even surprised that Carl knew about his condition. Carl was wise and sharp to know that something was going on when he disappeared. Carl met a lot of ghosts and demons in diffe
However Lucas could not expose himself, or else the problems Kelly has to face were not only about being detained in the Capital but also freeing him. Lucas knows that Kelly would save him. He doesn't want to be a burden to her. "I know I can't be seen right now. But Kelly could not be kept in the Capital." Lucas said stubbornly. Carl sighed heavily. The reason why he took Lucas away and swallowed down the words he wanted to say to Kelly earlier was because of this. He did not mention the people from the Capital earlier because he know Lucas would keep Kelly safe even though he needs to offend the capital by not sending Kelly over. And Kelly might run away due to fright. She kept postponing the matters with the Capital after all. It would not be strange for her to do that. "They won't harm her. They might even place protection for her and she would get the most polite and generous treatment. Think of it as her having a vacation." "It will be a very very long vacation. Kelly does
