章節 86: Chapter 5:Thoughts

Adryan was now inside a police carriage on the way home.

Adryan still felt very dizzy but he couldn't understand why.

'That interrogation was not at all close to what I felt when I was in that black space, so why did it make me so weak?' The redhead looked at his hand which was pale along with the rest of his body.

Remembering what had happened inside that black space, a possibility formed in his head.

'Am I still suffering from resurrection aftereffects?' This was the highest possibility, that interrogation should not have leave him in such a delicate state.

At first he was acting but the more the Interrogator used his ability the weaker he felt.

Whip of pain if he remembered correctly attacked the soul of the person who received it so the man was attacking his soul weakened by the resurrection.

But that revealed an even bigger problem, that there was a huge problem with his soul.

Adryan could still see the black cracks in his arm as the light brought him back to life, but he didn't understand what it meant.

If that was really his soul and it was in such a delicate state then how was it possible that he could have even drink the Sequence 9 potion.

Before he could think about this further, the police carriage stopped and someone opened the door of the carriage.

"We have arrived sir, you can come down"

Nodding to the policeman, Adryan got out of the carriage and stopped in front of his house.

"Sir, I recommend that you rest these days and not go to work because of what you had to go through, if you like I can recommend a good psychologist."

Hearing the words of the officer who didn't seem to be more than 26 years old, the redhead only gave him a slight smile.

"Thank you very much, officer, but I'll have to reject it. Have a good day" when he said that, Adryan went and entered his house, leaving the policeman outside who, seeing that the redhead had left him outside, sighed as he got into his carriage and left the place.

Being inside his house, Adryan the first thing he did was take off his clothes and lit the fireplace in his house and threw his expensive clothes into the fire to burn.

Watching how the fire consumed his clothes while he was naked.

'Good thing my money is in my Closet of Calamities because I totally forgot about it,' Adryan thought with a flat face as he went to his bathroom to take a good shower.

As the water washed the ash, dust, and blood from his body, Adryan let his mind drift back to the scene he had seen and heard while he was resurrected.

'That name should be the honorary name of the fallen god related to my awakening here But what is 'closest to the Oldest One' supposed to mean? .'

Also remembering the symbol that he had seen, a chill ran down the redhead's back while the water continued to fall on him.

'And that should be 'His' symbol but again what is it supposed to mean?'

'Without a doubt it is related to the path of the hunter but there were things that did not fit in it'

'Why was the infinity symbol wrapped around the spear and what did that book mean?'

Feeling another strong chill, Adryan grabbed the shampoo and washed his head vigorously to distract himself.

Leaving the shower with a towel on his hip, Adryan entered his room and after drying himself, he put on black pants but was shirtless as he looked at himself in the mirror.

'I just hope Isengar doesn't suffer too much from this' the relationship between Grievius and Isengar seemed pretty good so Adryan could only get an idea of how the detective would take it.

Although remembering what kind of man he is, he wouldn't know for sure this.

'I also have to see a funeral for the old man'

Sighing again, Adryan sat where he was for a long time.

As sunset came on, Adryan could feel his eyes getting heavy so he just settled where he was and slept.

After a while, Adryan opened his eyes as he listened to someone knock on the door.

Looking around, Adryan noticed that everything seemed to have a slight haze as he sat at his living room table.

'Wait, is this a dream?'

This immediately put him on alert but just as quickly he calmed down and acted as if nothing had happened.

'It must be a Nighthawk who came to question me and what better method than dreams so I better act like I am in one'

Hearing the knock on the door again, Adryan slightly closed his eyes and spoke in a sleepy voice.

"Please come in...."

When he said that he saw how a man in his late 30s with the bangs of his white hair walked in while holding his mid-height hat.

"Sorry for the inconvenience Mr. Adryan I would like to ask you a few questions" the man's voice was soft making Adryan a bit sleepy but he still kept up his act.

"Ask then sir...."

The man removed his hat and placed it on his chest as he sat down across from Adryan.

"I'm Watson Ulib nice to meet you"

Adryan took advantage of the fact that the man had brought his hands to his chest and looked at them, seeing that he was only wearing black gloves, the redhead let out an internal sigh as he responded.

"What would you like to know Mr. Watson?"

At this the one called Watson gave a light smile as he placed his hat on his lap.

"Please tell me what happened at the party on Saturday June 30"

章節 87: Chapter 6:'Nightmare'

Giving a weak nod, Adryan began to tell everything he had seen at the party and how he had to kill his friend to protect another.

While he was telling all this, Adryan observed how Watson nodded from time to time and at some details he frowned.

When he got to the detail of the final fight, Adryan had completely put aside his and Grievius's involvement in it.

Replacing it with that of Grievius with that of an unknown hooded man who could control fire.

At this Watson frowned again and interrupted Adryan's explanation.

"Wasn't it your shooting master who had fought the witches while controlling the fire?"

"No, Mr. Watson, although my shooting master fought he only used a revolver, the one who was fighting while controlling the fire was the hooded man"

This was a spur-of-the-moment invention that Adryan had come up with, replicating what Oliver Queen once did when questioned.

It helped a lot that Watson thought he was telling the truth, not doubting that the redhead was never under his control.

Watson frowned again as he raised a hand to his mouth and thought for a moment before lowering his hand as he asked.

"Could you show me what this hooded man looks like?"

'I have no idea Watson but I'll try'

Adryan swallowed as he tried to imagine what this hooded man would look like.

Suddenly next to him appeared a tall man wrapped in a black sack who wore a strange mask that covered his face.

This was his appearance as Mr. Chaplin and Adryan decided to wear this because it was the best option he could think of.

Seeing the figure next to Adryan, Watson's frown deepened before he looked back at Adryan.

"Mr. Adryan, are you sure this is the man you saw fight?"

Giving a weak nod, Adryan replied with a sleepy voice.

"Yes it's him"

Nodding, Watson got up from his seat and headed for Adryan's door as he put his hat back on.

Turning to look at the sleepy Adryan, the man gave a small bow before opening the door.

"Have a good night Mr. Adryan"

When he said that, the door closed completely and the dream that Adryan was in gradually dissipated until he woke up in the same place where he had fallen asleep.

Adryan got up from his bed and went for a walk around his house for a moment before going back to his room and laying down on his bed again.

Watson was very lucky because he did not enter the redhead's house since it was most likely that he had eaten multiple traps prepared by the red-eyed man.

Covering himself with his blanket, Adryan lay down on his bed and tried to sleep again.

Finally, after a few hours, the redhead managed to sleep and did not wake up until 2:00 p.m. the next day.

With a dry throat, the redhead brushed his teeth and putting on his usual clothes, he left his house.

Walking through some stores and then going to a flower shop, Adryan returned home with a bag in his hands along with some flowers wrapped in his hands.

These flowers were red poppys...

Now in his room, Adryan put the red poppies back like last time and placed the red poppies in a spear shape.

Then he redraw the symbol that represented that fallen God and got down on his knees while closing his eyes.

"The Fire of Destruction that eradicated depravity;

Incarnation of Calamities;

The closest to the Oldest One;

Your devoted servant prays for your attention;

I pray for you to open the gates to your Kingdom"

Hearing the murmur in his ear again, Adryan formed the sphere of light again and entered the City of Calamities.

Seeing the small flame that pulsated slightly, Adryan extended his spirituality to it, forming the door of fire, using the power of the City of Calamities, the redhead released the yellowish smoke that wrapped his things and then made the Burnt Band float, his hidden blade, The 550 pounder and Grievius characteristics and he sends them through the door.

Seeing how they appeared at the feet of his body, Adryan cut off the supply of spirituality causing the door to close and then left the City of Calamities, but not before covering the Magician's Glove and the Hangover Time with yellowish smoke.

Opening his eyes back in his body, Adryan saw how his things were in front of him so grabbing the money, he placed it in his modified jacket pocket and then grabbed the Burnt Band and put it in his pocket.

Finally, he grabbed his hidden blade but did not put it on yet, instead pressing a button made the blade extend showing that it was covered in red.

Sighing, Adryan grabbed a tissue and began to clean the blade, and when it was completely clean, he placed it back on his left forearm.

Flexing his forearm and watching the blade extend, Adryan nodded, then stopped flexing allowing the blade to slip back into hiding.

Looking at his right hand, in which there was now a handkerchief slightly red with blood, Adryan approached the fireplace and when he was about to throw it into it, he stopped.

Sighing, the redhead returned to his room to sacrifice this handkerchief to himself and after leaving it inside the City of Calamities, Adryan left the Sefirot to look at Grievius's caracteristics on a table.

After cleaning everything, leave no trace that the redhead has done a ritual here.

Watching the time, Adryan sighed as he grabbed them and left his house.
