257 Who Are You? 1 (2/2)
Using a rough and unfeeling tone, he asked, ”Who are you?”
The fearful look on Maila's face intensified when he pointed the barrel of his gun at her forehead. She backed away, her body trembling. When she tried to speak, her voice shook, ”S-Sir, I-I am Maila. Maila Asuncion!”
'Hmm...'
With knitted brows, he repeated his question. And when he still got the same answer,
”BANG!”
”AAHHHHHH!” In a split-second, the woman tumbled down, curling her shivering body sideways as she had her bound hands clutched on her bleeding left knee.
The culprit nonchalantly pulled the trigger again before saying, ”It seems you are actually a fairly high-ranking person in the organization. The additional layer of memories is your protection. No hypnotism nor mind-control will work on you so the secret will be very secure. Heh. If so, then can I only bet on near-death state to bring out the real you?”
The blonde woman momentarily stopped crying for the pain from both her knees. The danger she felt from the man's demonic grin was too much, she just wanted to disappear from there. For that while, she hated Sofia for discovering her... and hated the world for letting her fall to this predicament.
”R-respected Sir, I-I don't really know what you're talking about. Please, please, spare my life!” She cried hard.
”Heh. Stupid. You're already dead. Why else would your memories be in somebody else's body. Ouch, do you even understand what I'm saying? Hmm. Probably not. Hahahahahaha. Poor you. But no worries. I think once I make the real owner of the body surface from the depths of your brain, you will also be liberated and sent to where you should belong!”
Maila could see the seriousness and craziness in the demon's face. She was truly scared. She was more afraid than when she was stuck in that dark and god-forsaken place, waiting for tortures.
The fear came from deep within her soul, resonating and agreeing with his words... that if she really got brought to a near-death state, 'Maila Asuncion' would just vanish!
In between her bouts of confusion and panic, she hysterically stuck to the wall and shouted in a frightened voice, ”W-who are you?! Why are you doing this to me! I, I am innocent! I am innocent! D-Don't do this to me, please!!!! Please let me live!!! I'll do everything!!!”
