Volume 1 Chapter 7: The Devil's Whisper
Amber gently touched the cross around his neck.
I don't know what the guy inside was doing when he wasn't asleep.
Is it the same curse as ever, or is it simply sleeping?
Thinking like this, he remembered the mysterious Mr. Zero.
At that time, he lost something, and he helped him find it by chance...... Who knew that after finding it, he simply gave this cross to himself.
I don't know what the purpose is. From then on, when I fell asleep, I would be disturbed by strange things inside...... Although because of this, I have slept soundly these days, so I have always stayed.
Moreover, I am also very interested in communicating with the existence in it and even exploring the supernatural behind.
That Mr. Zero always felt that there was a special temperament that made Amber, who was so upright and old-fashioned that many people described him as "Leng", inexplicably believed him.
However, I later learned that Mr. Zero was actually a professor at the university where he studied. It's amazing, it's amazing, it's amazing.
Just as he was thinking, Amber approached the university and found that the gate was surrounded by a bustling crowd.
"What's going on? Why are you crammed here......"
Finally, he found a classmate he knew and asked out loud.
"Ah...... This is really a big event!" The student said half worried, half excited, "It's a wanted warrant!"
"Huh, but why do wanted warrants and universities have anything to do with each other......
"Well, it said that Mr. Zero fled after attacking the Holy See's Great Chapel and causing a large number of casualties, and now the Holy See is mobilizing all forces to pursue it!"
“...... What?!"
Amber struggled to squeeze into the crowd, and some sad comments from his classmates flowed in his ears: "If you want me to say, the Holy See probably burned Mr. Zero because of heresy, so it just found a name at random." ”
It seems that his excitement is because it is indeed a rare huge ripple in a quiet life, and his worry is really worried about his fellow teacher.
Amber finally approached the wanted warrant, and he looked up.
A familiar face comes into view.
......
Night.
Amber stroked the cross gently, as he had done in the morning. The warmth of the skin on the chest spreads to the palm, and the smooth surface of the silver seems to be quite pleasant to the touch.
"Mr. Zero doesn't feel like the kind of person who can kill people...... How could such a thing happen......"
"But it seems that he was holding the cross before...... Maybe the one who lodges in there will know something about him?"
"So are you going to ask about it......"
Thinking like this, unconsciously, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The hazy dream gradually became clear.
In front of Amber's eyes, a coquettish naked woman appeared in front of him, scratching her head and seducing him with all her might.
He just got used to trying to dispel the sight and waved his hand while making a disdainful sound - but maybe to hide a little shyness?
The naked woman vanished, and only a hazy black mist figure appeared in front of Amber's eyes.
Amber didn't care about the other party's "teasing" behavior at all, and said after greeting him with great pleasure: "Yo, what are you going to talk about when you come to me this time? But this time I have a question I want to ask you first, do you know anything about that Mr. Zero, the man who held the cross before me?"
After that, he waited for an answer with joy.
"......?" Obviously, his attitude towards Amber seems to be gradually improving in recent times, and he is even willing to have some normal communication and even small talk with him, but this time he clearly expressed his displeasure...... Or even a hint of caution?
Then a vigilant voice came: "What are you asking what that guy is doing?"
"Ah, Mr. Zero is wanted for murder, and the location is still in the Great Sanctuary. I thought it was weird, so I wanted to ask you. He didn't hesitate to give up his thoughts, and then tilted his head seemingly innocently, "So, can you tell me what you know about Mr. Zero? I want to integrate his image in the eyes of others to verify whether he is a murderer or not." ”
"What shit is attacking the Holy See of the Holy See?huh, when did that guy become so tasteless......
The Shadow shook his head, "I don't believe this kind of thing could be like this...... After all, that guy is the 'mortal' who sealed me as a great being here. ”
The accent of the other party's tone when he mentioned the word mortal seemed to be quite sarcastic, but I don't know if this taunt was aimed at himself or Mr. Zero.
"Hey, so you have a story like this with Mr. Zero, so are you jealous of Mr. Zero? And the grammar seems to be wrong. So said the straight-up human youth.
"Jealous of mortals...... It's a shame to get out there—though I don't believe the monster in human skin is a 'human' at all.
Even without strength...... Even if he didn't have the power, I wouldn't be mistaken...... Should?"
The dark shadow muttered to himself, and then looked at you again for a long time: "I suggest you don't get too involved in his affairs, if you still want to live a normal and ordinary life." ”
"Hey, thank you for the reminder, but Mr. Zero—he's a good guy. As soon as the style of painting changed, Amber suddenly smiled and sent Mr. Zero a good person card.
"I will maintain a normal and ordinary life, and I will meet Mr. Zero by chance, this is about the future life choice, just leave it to that time. ”
"If nothing else, I'll come back to ask for your opinion. But, in your experience, what kind of monster is Mr. Zero?" the young man asked calmly.
“...... God. A monster called God.
Although he is as fragile and godless as an ordinary person......"
The black shadow was silent for a long time, and seemed to find a descriptive with difficulty, as if remembering something terrible.
"It's going to be as troublesome as an ordinary person, and it's going to die easily...... But the divinity grew brighter and brighter in my gaze. Disgusting, unpleasant......"
His voice grew muffled and inaudible.
At the same time, Amber's dreams seem to be gradually blurring and falling into chaos. He didn't know if he was going to "real sleep" or if he was already waking up, but he felt well rested anyway......
But at the last moment, the black shadow suddenly raised his head and shouted to him: "Don't try to help that guy and run into danger yourself, I'll just say it!
- Amber wakes up.
