章節 212: Testing (III)
"It is." Angel leaned back with his hands in front of him. "That is why we seek such people."
Kiyro felt a sudden shudder. He took a deep breath. "I know this isn't about the test, but I am curious. Do you know my brother?"
Angel searched him carefully. "Yes. I read your files. You have a twin brother."
"I was looking for my brother, and you might have some information.
This time Kiyro focused on Angel, trying to open his mind to what he could hear.
"Not much. For three years, your brother has been missing. It seems that you have an older sister, your mother passed away, and you had a bad falling out with your father. Though there was one thing…."
Kiyro gripped the end of the chair, making his knuckles white. Then, he leaned forward to hear what Angel had got to say.
"Ah, yes." Angel snapped his fingers. "There was one thing...by any chance, do you know anything about the White Rabbit?"
"White Rabbit?" Kiyro tilts his head confused. "Are we talking about an animal, or are you implying something else?"
Silently followed, Angel was searching for some answer from Kiyro, but in reality, Kiyro did not know what he was talking about, nor did he understand what he had to do with Kyle at all.
"White Rabbit? How did he find that out? This is something I must tell the others." The shadow started to move to the left towards the door.
"I wouldn't leave if I were you." Angel's voice spoke out clearly, simultaneously freezing both Kiyro and the shadow.
"Excuse me?" Kiyro wanted to look over his shoulder; he knew instinctively that Angel was not talking about him but the being behind him, but he did not move. He wanted to avoid getting caught between the two.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was talking to myself out loud." Angel played it off like there was nothing wrong.
"Like I was saying, White Rabbit is a simple program, you see," Angel tapped his finger together as he leaned forward. His voice was a bit lower so Kiyro could hear. "I heard your brother
created it."
"He what?" Kiyro wasn't sure what these two were playing. One was a shadow person behind him, while the other was talking loudly to catch Kyros' attention and the shadows. This whole time, he thought that they were working together.
"You lost me a while back. I'm not sure what my brother has to do with the White Rabbit program or whatever you call it. This is the first time I'm ever hearing this at all. Do you know what you are talking about? You could've gotten the wrong person."
"It seems you don't know." Angel frowned, and he picked up a couple of cards in his hands. He twirled it back and forth between his fingers, showing the Ace of Hearts every three seconds.
"That's too bad."
With a flick of his wrist, the card slipped past Kiyro's face, and with a thud, it hit the wall. A thin red line appeared on Kiyro's face; he could feel blood trickling down his cheek. Then, in front of him, he saw a strange, black transparent aura around Angel's hand that threw the card that no average person could see.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Gh!" With a thundering scream that rattled the room, a blast of pure malice energy spread outwards, overriding ALL of Kiyro's senses. He bolted up, ready to run. A second, when he turned to run out of the room, Angel's hand snaked outwards and grabbed his hands into a tight grip.
Kiyro pulled, but he was locked in Angel's grip. He couldn't move any further anymore because he felt dreadful that if he moved a single inch, the shadow person hiding would retaliate against him instead. Not only that, he could feel an even more dreadful energy coming from Angel himself that shook him to his very bones.
Sit.
A clear, commanding voice cut straight into his mind. Unconsciously, Kiyro listened to the voice and sat down. The oppressive energy from the shadow and Angel's was gone; even the presence
of the shadow was nowhere to be felt.
"Are you alright?" Angel's voice was sweet but demanding.
"Yes. I'm sorry, I just felt uncomfortable." Kiyro feigned innocence. He could feel his back, and his armpit was sweaty from nervousness.
"Uncomfortable? Please share your experience. I get the feeling that you have something more to say." Angel lets go of his wrist. He sat back as if nothing was wrong.
Kiyro wiped his cheek and noticed a stinging pain. A streak of blood painted the back of his hand. He debated telling him the truth or feigning as if nothing had happened, but his gut instinct told him that Angel knew more than he ever showed on his face.
With reluctance, Kiyro gripped his hands into a fist and released. He took a small breath and faced forward, meeting Angel's eyes. "I felt a heavy presence, or should I say pressure. My instincts were telling me to run away."
"Now?" Angel slowly leaned forward, interested in what Kiyro had to say. "What else?"
"I thought for a split moment there was someone else here."
"You too?" Angel furrowed his eyebrows, thinking about what he was saying.
So does that mean that Angel can feel the same thing? Kiyro was curious about how much Angel knew. From his guess, he got the feeling that Angel was pretending.
"This is a problem. I did not think we would attract the shadows on the other side of the veil so quickly."
"I'm sorry. Another side of the veil?"
"Haven't you ever thought there was more to this world?"
"At first, no, but I have been reconsidering my thinking these days."
"That's good to hear that you are more open-minded than the people around here," Angel growled low. He raised his hands in front of him and coughed to clear his throat. "Well, Mr.
Koga, or should I call you Kiyro?"
"Kiyro is fine."
"In this world, there is always something more exciting and unknown. It's up to you to find it."
"But is it worth it?"
Angel barked out laughing and threw his head back. Tears streamed out of his eyes, making it seem like he was crying.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Angel wiped his tears. "I'm just a bit surprised you aren't jumping up from joy hearing that there is something more to this world than what you see in front of you."
"I honestly don't know how to take it. I have been living with my eyes open for a long time; there are things that normal people wouldn't be able to comprehend when you state something of that level. It wasn't till I was here that I came to grasp that there is something more that this world has to offer."
