Capítulo 165: 165: Discharge

"Finally, the nuisance is gone. Should I continue my explanation now?" Voidslayer asked.

"No," Val replied.

"Why?" Voidslayer questioned.

Val answered, "Acting strange in public can arouse suspicion. If I keep appearing dazed because I'm communicating with you, people might think I'm possessed or that there's something wrong with my mind. In both cases, I will get in trouble. I did rather avoid that."

He then added, "Wait until we get home before you tell me about the Abyss."

Devils were a reality in this world, so possession wasn't just the stuff of fiction or bedtime tales. 

If a person appeared to be possessed, the denizens had a responsibility to report it to the authorities. 

A possessed individual would behave differently from a normal person, making it relatively easy to identify such cases.

Still, there were numerous false alarms, as people sometimes mistook mental illnesses or even eccentricities for the work of devils.
