"I can't believe you brought a dead human back to life... that's not gonna work."
"But it could be successful, right?... that's all I deserve to try."
If I ever see Li again, a man scratches up his hair. The motion was strangely compelling.
I wonder if Li... is his late lover and I accidentally glance at Mr. Marina.
"Li is my sister," the man laughed, as he understood my thoughts.
"Will you listen to Li? I feel so good today. It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone, not faking anything like this. So much fun."
Hi. I hear the devil gets drunk on moonlight.
The man is either under the influence of the moonlight or the hoop is coming off and filled with exhilaration.
I just don't have a grasp between demonic expressions that lurk in unholy brutal malice, to occasionally still give me a peek at reason as a human being.
Attracted strangely by that imbalance, I honestly kept my ears in the voice of a low, comfortable man who, when I realized it, would enter the cerebral marrow with sulli.
"My parents died early and they were my only brothers and sisters. Li was a church apostle. I admired Princess Spirit. He wants to be chosen one day to meet the Spirit Queen. Unlike my spiritless brother, Li is an excellent spiritual user and gets along well with the Spirits of Light. He used to show it to me too."
"I can't see it anymore. They were beautiful wrapping the light around their wings," he sees the past with invisible eyes.
So I was convinced, "Oh."
The Spirits of Light, who looked like little birds. When was the dance of condolences to the dead they were dancing... was it dedicated to Li, the man's sister?
The Spirits of Light used to say, 'He's trying to do things for that kid that aren't good'. That 'he' is about the man in front of you, and 'that kid' must be about Mr. Li.
I guess the Spirits of Light found out what a man was trying to exchange because they knew more about men than they did about their ex. And he relied on me, the Spirit Princess.
Also, when Mr. Li was alive, he still seemed to have a man's eyesight.
Speaking of which, the spirits said the same thing.
'Help him'... no matter what you think, though it's not the situation on my side of saving.
"But Li's dream didn't come true. My sister is dead. They killed him."
"Killed...?
"Out-of-target grievances against the church, to crazy people. I couldn't help myself with the power of the spirits. Li was attacked and killed, just because he was a church apostle, out of my knowledge."
The fact that there was such a blood-smelling incident was the first ear for me to live in a country realm away from the Wang capital. Lore, did you know that? Even if I knew it, it wasn't something I liked to talk about. Maybe he doesn't want the church side to touch him either.
Besides... I don't think such incidents are ever rare.
I'm sure there will be as much misery as there is unreasonable resentment. Even if it doesn't involve demons, humans can do more cruel things than demons.
"The people who killed Li were caught and given the punishment they deserved. The only victim is Li. At the sacrifice of Li, the case closed.... but if this country has the protection of the Spirit Queen, why doesn't the Queen eradicate them before she runs to the crime? How could there be such a tragedy? Li worshipped the Queen so much! How could the Queen not save Li!
Suddenly the man gets furious.
This is not the devil, but the cry of a man who is a human being, who has unreasonably lost his dear sister.
The man's voice sounds like thunder in the warehouse.
... The Spirit Queen is not God, even if she is revered like God in this country. Even if it is a real God, surely one human death cannot be saved.
I'm sure a man knows that.
Even if I know... without screaming, I guess I can't stay.
I look up at the man's face jiggly as I crawl. The face of a man floating white in the moonlight is terribly painful. But in the blink of an eye, it quickly turns into a sticky grin.
"Losing Li and leaving this country, I was pale with nothing to feel in my days. That's how someone named the devil reached out to me. That there is a way to bring the dead back to life. If we pay the right price to make a contract and get the power of the devil, we can do it."
"Consideration…"
"The price I paid for my contract with the devil was my eyesight in 'Prepaid'. Then in" Late Payment, "my soul after death. That's not a big consideration. If you can live with the possibility of seeing Li again."
Was it the price of a contract with the devil that the man was blind?
I shake my head full while it's still wet.
- Why, I wonder.
How did you end up here... thinking about Reis?
"I am grateful to the devil. He even taught me everything about rituals. I don't want some of them to, but some of them were forced to possess the devil by the devil... but I chose to possess the devil myself. The devil gave me hope to live. More wonderful and honorable to me than a spiritual queen."
Indeed, people will have to rely on how unstable a light it would be if they were dropped on the sea of night wandering in solitude.
I'm sure he lost his sister and mourned for despair, but the only light he could grasp was the devil's hand.
Think of it that way, the corner of your mind flickers slightly.
... It's not a good idea to have bad pity.
Whatever the reason or the circumstances, what he's trying to do is sacrifice the unrelated, unacceptable.
"The full moon is tomorrow night. There is one more night before the ceremony. I was just here today to make sure I had all the sacrifices, but it was nice talking to you. Maybe I've always wanted someone to hear it all this way.... Oh, but"
Again, the way the man looks, he's not too busy being devilish or human.
Suddenly, the man crouches in to face me.
"Ten people are needed for sacrifice. Without being overwhelmed, it's perfect. Either you or the marina don't want it for tomorrow's ritual. Which way do we go?
"If you don't want it... you'll be safe."
"That's a tough consultation. Well, no. We just have to decide tomorrow.... for one thing today, I'm already asleep"
If a man spreads his hands, a black butterfly appears from nowhere and rocks its poisonous feathers in front of me.
I want to distract you but I can't let you go.
Thanks to the Queen's protection, even though it is difficult to hang on to the devil's technique, this makes me skip consciousness again. I couldn't get help like this and when I woke up I was in the middle of a ritual... I imagined, my spine trembled.
No, I'm scared. I don't want to sleep.
But consciousness slowly retreats away.
Really, it's been scattered since Princess Spirit chose me.
Lore, it's good to know you and Mr. Marina, but you're in on a case like this. It's a good place to get annoyed.
... I haven't seen him in a long time, I'm not sure.
What does he think and what does he think? Are you in a bit of a hurry for me to get caught? Not as a job... not as a spiritual princess, just worried about me?
I don't know.
Because I'm scared of things I don't know.
In the end, I'm afraid to face the obscure part of it, and I can't step into it.
But I wonder why, now asexually, I call my name like I used to, I want to hear his voice.
My brain is sumptuous and my thoughts are uncertain as blurry.
Consequently, all that has no attachment floats and disappears.
- And when I finally skipped consciousness.
Along with the sound of the doors opening in momentum, he said, "Sulia!" of him calling desperately...... the moment I heard Reyce's voice, tears were falling from my eyes unknowingly.
