Chapter 38 (2/2)

It's the familiar voice again. Loren was sure there should be no one in front of him. But now, the young man with blond hair and a small dress leaned gracefully next to a sculpture in the hall, holding a yellowing book in his hand.

”Why am I not surprised?” Lauren, who was a little self mocking, snorted and looked at his right wrist, but the mark that had been left on it disappeared.

”Oh, please don't care about that - as I said, that mark is the tool I use to find you.” the teenager, or Asriel, has a warm smile on his face, and his clear eyes are like a deep spring: ”as I said, we meet again.”

”But seriously, as your friend, I have some regrets - I carefully prepared this scene, but I didn't expect you to get tired so soon.” the boy pouted and looked wronged: ”is it really too monotonous? Ah... You really... Should I say desire dissatisfaction?”

”You”? Loren narrowed his eyes, vaguely as if he had caught some key words.

”Please don't doubt that I'm certainly not human - and please don't imagine the lovely Asriel as a devil or something. That's too much.” Asriel said ”very sincerely.” moreover, we are friends, aren't we? Friends shouldn't slander each other. ”

”So... As a friend,” Lauren looked at him with a sneer. ”Should you explain to me what's going on?”

”Just a little kindness as a friend.” Asriel's expression was sincere and his small head tilted: ”although your special constitution can make you not afraid of the threat of emptiness, my friend, you still underestimate the world. Your consciousness and reason are far from enough to resist the malice of emptiness.”

”Maybe you think it's ironic enough to kill each other with yourself who has become a living corpse. But please believe me, the void can do far more than this, and the desire to lure you crazy is definitely more than killing. After all, you humans always want complex creatures, and it's too easy for you to extricate yourself.”

”So I did a little bit of tricks at the right time to let you vent as much as possible without completely losing your mind.” the boy was full of a kind smile: ”I hope this can make you feel my sincerity.”

”What if I really lose my mind?”

”That's impossible - as a friend, the most important thing is mutual trust. And I absolutely believe that you can't be completely swallowed up by your own desires!”

Of course Loren doesn't believe this nonsense.

”As for why I am here... You must remember that I helped you complete your revenge, my friend.” Asriel smiled lightly: ”and friends should help and support each other - now, my dear friend, I need your help.”

”What do you want?” Lauren asked bluntly. He was very tired of playing with this guy and his arrogant posture hidden behind his smile.

”Why are you always in such a hurry?” the boy wrinkled his small nose and pressed the index finger of his right hand on his temple in confusion. ”We can talk more.”

”I'm sorry, but I can't wait for you to disappear now.”

”Well, it looks like I'm hated.” Asriel sighed and took a brass key from the yellow book in his hand. ”However, it's really not a place for conversation here. Although I really want to ask you something, I'd better wake you up from this dream first.”

Asriel, holding the key, carefully jumped down from the sculpture and went deep into the hall. Loren slowly clenched the handle of his sword - there seemed to be a huge cage in the dark.

”Sex ~” the boy opened the iron door of the cage, seemed to wake up a monster curled up inside, roared in a low voice, and climbed slowly towards the exit.

”... have a good time, my dear Lord Loren Turin.” Asriel turned around, bowed to him, smiled politely, and put his hands behind his back: ”well, goodbye ~.”

”Poof --!”

In an instant, the figure coming out of the cage cut off the young man's head with a sword. The body losing the head fell into a pool of blood like a broken line puppet, and the limbs twitched intermittently.

The white blond hair was dyed red by blood. The smiling head rolled to Lauren's feet and made him look up involuntarily. The man who came out of the cage

That's who I am completely crazy.
