Chapter 192 - Side Story: Little Devil (1/2)

Some people called him Devil. Some called him Demon. He didn't remember how he was created nor how long had he lived. He only knew he was ordered to watch for humans, manipulate their mind to let them commit sins. He was pretty much an expert in that case. He could even stand for himself, not allowing other devils to pick on him or order him around because of his capability in doing his job.

Yeah, he could proudly say that he was one of those highest ranking devils that commanded several thousands of lower rank devils.

But, instead of staying put in his throne, he always went from one place to other places. If he felt like it, he would fool some humans, but most of the time, he would just be there as a spectator.

He had been to many places and he had fooled many humans. His mischievous manner would even make him put some bad things into children's mind. Since he couldn't touch babies, for they were the purest things in world, he would wait until they had grown up a bit. There's no exact age when he could start affecting those poor little boys or girls, but once they started to think about bad things, it was the cue for him to start working.

How could children think about bad things? Well, ask their parents what they had been showing or teaching the children.

Since no ordinary people could see him, even if they performed exorcist on him, it didn't affect him.

But, one day when he passed by a village, he was stopped by a cry of a baby. His mischievous mind kicked in and he sauntered the source of the cry with a wicked plan inside his mind.

In that house, he saw a baby girl was being cradled by a woman, probably her mother. He approached the baby and saw a pair of big and beautiful eyes was looking at him intently.

It was strange, he thought. Normally even baby couldn't see him. Looking at her size, he assumed that she would be around six to eight weeks old. How could she see him?

He tried to move around, but her eyes followed him around. Yes, she had stopped crying, but she didn't laugh either. Normally babies would laugh if they saw something or someone played with them. Even just making a small movement would make them laugh.

But, this baby was so strange that she would just look at him as if she was watching a pathetic clown trying to incite laughter on children.

”Kid, don't challenge me.” He said to the baby girl as he put his fingers on her forehead, trying to see what's inside her head.

But to his surprise, she moved and slapped his hands away. She made it as if she only rubbed her own face, but he, as the victim, knew better.

No, there was no baby could be this strong. He must be imagining things. With that thought in mind, he tried to do it again.

But, again his hand was slapped by her.

At that moment, he knew that he wasn't imagining things. Moreover, the look in her eyes was as if giving him a warning not to do that again.

How odd was this baby?

He didn't realize he had been standing there with dumbfounded expression on his face for a pretty long time. Hell, he didn't even realize how stupid he looked like. If only he could see himself in the mirror…

After that day, he practically watched her almost all the time. Sometimes he would go to other places and returned after a week or a month. But he never let her out of his eyes for more than that.

He didn't try to approach her, just silently watched her from afar. However, there were times their eyes would meet, but she would not say anything to him.

The first time she saw him, her friends asked her what was wrong since she stopped playing. She said that she saw a man, sitting under the tree, but her friends said that they didn't see anyone.

Of course, even the most capable one with sixth sense wouldn't be able to see him, let alone those ordinary children. All except her.

It was a good thing that she said she saw it wrongly and never mentioned about it again. Therefore, no one labeled her as a weirdo. Even if she saw ghosts, she wouldn't say anything and wouldn't even flinch in fear. Instead, she acted as if she didn't see them.

What a clever child!

All humans who could see ghosts meant that they had the same frequency with the ghosts. The ghosts would know which humans could see them as well, and would be attracted to the humans.

Same case applied for her, too. However, no matter what they did, she would never show them that she could see them. That's why some of the ghosts were being bold and tried to touch her or even hurt her.

The first time he saw their attempts to hurt the girl, he laughed. Even his hand could be easily slapped by her, what about theirs? He really couldn't wait to see it.
