Chapter 105 - It Was Because Of Me! (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

I watched as the man behind the door trembled, but my smile didn't falter. I kept my eyes on him, didn't even feel a slight confusion and pity after seeing him trembling like that. But, I didn't move either. I stood in front of the door unwavering, stubbornly waiting for the man to invite me in.

But, the man was still unmoved. He was neither running away nor moving forward, which looked a bit funny for me.

”Can I come in?” I asked softly. I thought I was being shameless like this, asking for the host to let me in. But, honestly I couldn't care less. I really had a strong urge to get inside, as if something was luring me in. I had a feeling that there was something 'cool' inside.

The man was startled. His eyes darted back and forth, he would look at anything but me. ”Y-you, you...” He stammered, for whatever reason, I didn't know.

”Surely you won't let me in, right? I came to express my condolences.” I really thought I was acting like a hooligan. Forcing my way in by using polite words? Only fools would really let me in.

And this man was one of the fools. He might be unable to communicate well due to nervousness or fear, but I thought it was easy to corner him.

With just simple words, I managed to make him let me in!

I wasn't shy or being courtesy. Stepping into the house, I could instantly feel the gloomy aura filling the house. I was right, the house didn't have many things. That's why the sound of my knocking echoed.

I finally got a good look of the man. He was thin, but not to the point he was like a malnutrition person. He was not bony but he gave me an image of a bony person. His long hair almost reached his chest, but it didn't look good or healthy at all.

As I gave it a good look, I could see another entity was on his back.

It was a woman with her long hair matted to her face. The bony impression I got from him was actually her. She was so bony I thought she was only skeleton. If her body was not transparent, I would think she was some kind of hungry monster sucking on the life of this man.

Oops, she was really sucking on his life.

I saw her teeth, latching onto his neck but I bet he didn't feel a thing.

Did he know it or not?

I didn't have any intention to ask when the thing behind his back looked up and her gaze met mine. She sneered but didn't release her bite on his neck.

I calmly moved my gaze away after I looked at it in silence. There was no fear inside my heart after I witnessed Senior Rizal's death. I walked further into the house and the man finally showed me some response.

He chased after me, pulling out a chair and let me sit.
