There was a fire in the neighborhood. My family is panicking and so are my neighbors. But I have to be calm and finish updating this chapter amidst the noise before 12. Thankfully I have finished it. Now I gotta go and see what is the ruckus outside! Hopefully, no one is hurt.
After delivering the letters to the Neutral Alliances houses, Bite took a time to meet with Jia.When Jia came out from the school, she saw a familiar figure waiting at the side of the gate.Jia acknowledge that figure and continued to walk while the latter walked by her side."Boss, I think the business would be suspended for a while," Bite spoke.Jia's pause halted. "Is the war between Grim Reapers and that so-called Capital affecting you too?"Jia heard about the war that was happening on the dead's side from Kelly. However, Kelly did not elaborate things to her and she doesn't care much about it since it won't affect her and Kelly. But to think that it would affect her business. "Yes. The house I belong to is a part of the Capital, so, unfortunately, we must participate. However, things are quickly changing. My people and I need to relocate. To tell you the truth, my leader wanted to try to achieve Nirvana. I don't know if we will succeed or not. Because of this, I won't be seein
There was no sound inside the mansion. Old Noel had been here twice before. The last time he stayed, he had at least spent a week here. So he knew where to find the living room.But when he came, there was no Sir Benjamin. He waited for a while until he called him out."Sir Benjamin?"Silence.Old Noel waited a bit more. When almost an hour have passed, he finally could not hold it in and looked for Sir Benjamin at other places. But he couldn't find Sir Benjamin!What is this? Is this another way of torture? Hide and seek?"Sir Benjamin! Please don't play with me. You must have received the letters sent to you by the Association. I just came here to get a reply from you. Please have mercy on this junior!""....." There was still silence.Old Noel wanted to curse inside. No matter how powerful Sir Benjamin was, he was still too much to bully a junior like him!Woosh...Then suddenly he heard a sound coming from his left.It came from the left hallway. The place which submerged in darkn
......Outside Sir Benjamin's mansion, the group of senior and junior grim reapers squatted at the lawn."Hey, can the seniors do that magic like Sir Benjamin? We really need tables and chairs. And some light snacks too. It would surely be a long wait."A senior heard the juniors, "Do you think we are like Sir Benjamin that could perform the high spacial spell that only existed in legends? I could only give you some pen." Then a pen appeared in his hand. "Go on. Use this." He said sarcastically.The junior apologized while enduring the seniors' mockery.One of the juniors asked, "How long do we have to wait this time?""An hour has only passed yet you juniors are already this impatient? Didn't you hear what Sir Noel told us? The last time we came here, we stayed here for a week. So Sir Noel might come out longer than that. But we still have to camp here for the night so we can call him out by tomorrow.""Agh...we have to wait here for that long? I really wish I brought food and a slee
Ever since I experienced Phase three, there was a part of me that knew that my past was not something worth remembering. Those scenarios were all awful and I would rather forget it all.Perhaps because I was denying those memories, I never tried to bring them up again or analyze them. I am afraid of what would I find out.Just these flashes were enough to send me to disarray. What if my past and memories were something I could not bear?What if this bullying was only the tip of the iceberg? What if there was a deeper pit behind it? The distorted images of those laughing girls who kicked me and beat me up come up again. Their violent and nasty bullying doesn't only happen in this desolate area. It continued to happen in the restroom, in the gym, in the warehouse...it followed me everywhere.I clenched my fist.Did I really live a life like that?Something inside me was stirring. There was a voice at the corner of my mind screaming at me to stop. To stop these memories from resurfaci
But what replaced was an ambiguous atmosphere. My non-existent heart skipped a beat. Lucas suddenly leaned in, his face was just a few centimeters from mine. "!" Lucas stared at my eyes from this close distance. "And we even...shared a kiss." "...." My mind went blank. Lucas' handsome face, coupled with that devilish smile and magnetic voice...made it all so lethal. Oh goodness. What a tempting Lucas. Was he....was he going to kiss me? But I am....I am...a bit shy. However, I want to feel them again. Alright....I will...I will share a kiss with him again! I moved my lips in preparation, accepting the incoming kiss. Lucas suddenly smirked and went back to his position. "So we are much much closer than before." "???" Why did he distance away? Where is the kiss? Lucas smiled with teasing in his eyes. "Am I right?" Was that...a false alarm?! Oh my goodness. That was so embarrassing. I looked away. "Y-you're right..." I felt my head buzz. I almost closed my eyes! Thankf
I asked for Lucas' help to uncover my past because I am more confident that I am able to face the unknown and seemingly gloomy history I had if I am with him. I told him that I already have the folder that contained the results of the investigation from the haunted mansion. But because a lot happened, I haven't read the file yet. I want to read it with Lucas. "I am not sure if those shadow spies are still in the hospital. But that place is safe because Jia placed a barrier there. So we have to go to Jia first." "Actually...The folder is with me." Lucas confessed. "...You took my folder?" "....Yes." Lucas then hastily added, "You should not be angry at me that I took a look at it first. You also took my folder and meddle with my personal matters. Since I let you meddle in my affair, I figured out that I am allowed to do it too. Besides, you are in the haunted mansion, how would you investigate your matter with those Capital bastards spying on you?" "...I am not angry." Why would
Lucas was so straightforward when it comes to these things.I wonder how could he say these embarrassing things without changing his face. Wasn't he embarrassed?I could only say these kinds of things when the atmosphere was right or when I was influenced by emotions. But to say it out of nowhere without warning was not something anyone can do!I could not help but doubt if Lucas was a Cassanova! I should ask him someday.But for now, I better changed the topic, or else I would make a silly expression. He would surely make fun of me!"Coughed. Can we check Ms. Lilian's house?"Lucas looked at me like he know it all. But he let it off and answered my question."My mother's house is still the same as before. It looked empty now since no one lived there anymore.""That's fine. I want to know what kind of place you grow up in.""This is supposed to be a quest to find the house you lived in before.""We can look for that in the way too."Lucas just shook his head with a smile. He leads the
It was wishful thinking of mine. Something I dearly hoped but not dared to be explicit about."I told you. If I become your neighbor you will have a crush on me." Lucas smirked."...." He was right. I did really have a crush on him, haha."...But you said to me that I am not easy to forget. How come you don't notice I am that little girl?""Hey, are you really blaming me for not relating that snotty little girl back then to you? You are so young when I met you. Your teeth haven't completely grown out yet. How would you expect me to relate the bloody ghost to that naughty little girl?"Besides, I am right. Even though I only spent a year with you and a week of my summer vacation, I did not forget about you even after you and your mother moved out."Lucas makes sense. He did not really forget me. The little girl still existed in his stories. It seemed like I am really an unforgettable person, heh.But there was a question in my mind. "Do you know why we moved?"Lucas lowered his eyes, "
