280 Trapped 1 (1/2)

”Please wake her up now. We've already completed your quest, it should mean you're now at Level 6, right? You can buy that whatever Exorcism skill then, and vanquish whatever's keeping her in a coma!” Ver's expression was sincere when he pleaded this to Sofony, yet his anxiousness could also be seen on his face.

Gio's eyes narrowed as he placed down the tray in his hands on the table. More than anyone here, he knew there should be no problem with that Wendy anymore. After all, the ghost hiding in her brain was now in his old gold coin and was no longer attacking her barely protected soul.

He looked at Sofony who seemed to be communicating with her system. Then to Ver who was watching her nervously.

'Weird, a day has already passed.' His cold eyes went to the coin he fished out from his pocket. Sofony too glanced at it. He was guessing the girl already knew he was keeping a ghost and that the ghost could only come from Wendy's body.

Gio met his fiancee's questioning gaze and nodded. He then spoke to Ver.

”Let's check on that sleeping girlfriend of yours. I need to confirm something.” He paused for a moment and turned to Sofony, ”I need you to come with me, Sofie. But since you've just woken up, you must be feeling weak. Do you want me to carry you?”

While he said that, the girl was actually perfectly fine and could instantly heal herself even if she was not. The room was also just twenty steps away. It wouldn't take much time going there. However, while this was the case, for Sofony since the man volunteered, it would be not her fault if she takes that offer. Anyway, this was obviously him wanting to make up for knocking her out hours ago.

”You bought the skill, right?” Gio asked her.

She nodded. In her mind, it was branded that he was also a system user so she didn't find it weird that he knew so much about the system.

From Wendy's bedside, the other man urged her to do what she needs to do. Sofony complied since she also wants to see her friend waking up.

”Hey...” Five minutes after performing the art, Ver glared at her. ”Why is she still not waking up?”

In front of them, Wendy remained the same. Her breaths were stable but her complexion was deathly pale. Her eyelashes never fluttered once. She was just lying there, unmoving and asleep.

Ver looked heartbroken seeing no change in his girl's condition. He began roaring at Sofony and even though her lips were trembling in anger and her breathing became ragged, Sofony didn't talk back.

She only pursed her red lips and threw a complicated gaze at Gio who appeared deeply contemplating the situation. In reality, she was very curious why the man did not stop her from purchasing the skill and even advised her to do this. They both knew the peculiar half-host had left Wendy.

”... There's no more evil spirit in her,” she said to Ver after the long period of silence.

The man who had now looked like a mad dog furiously barked, ”If there isn't, how come she's still not opening her eyes? Are you f*cking kidding me? I eliminated more than half of their bases for you so you can level up and have the means to wake her up!”

Should she just fight it out with this annoying man? Didn't see she was also as sad as he was?

”Ver Drilon. I admire you for your dedication to this Wendy but if I were you stop talking down to her or else I'll make you regret it.” Gio warned in a low voice. The air around him changed into a dark one, all solely concentrated on the angry young man.

”Gio.”
