Chapter 122 - 122: The Square

Van and Gil were now in the comforts of Nisha's house in the Encampment It would seem that her so-called housemate was still not here and was probably blacked out so, as he could still hear soitated and alar well on the cold floor

Van, on the other hand, was still wide awake sitting at the table The thought of the souls, or lack thereof, froered inside his mind Could it be that the Locals do not have Souls?

That… is somewhat impossible They were clearly still human no matter how you look at them

Or maybe they are not? They were born inside the Portal, s with Souls?

No Of course, they were human But if that was the case, then there could only be one reason that Van could think of as to why they did not drop any Souls-- he needed to be the one to kill them directly

So far, he has not encountered any corpses that he did not kill personally, except the Locals He wondered why he did not think about it before Even in the Relic Graveyard, where there should be dead bodies randomly scattered in every corner, he did not detect any Souls

""

Maybe he should try killing a Local to see ould happen Seeing assoon to rescue their comrades, he will surely have a chance to do so

"Hey, can't sleep?"

"I learned it from a friend," Van let out a tiny chuckle as he looked outside the

"Of course your friend will be as weird as you," Nisha, as well, giggled as she looked at Van Afterward, she turned her attention towards the sleeping Gil, "And that one? Where could you have possibly befriended a guard?"

"I just met him here He's not really my friend"

"What?"

"I think he was thrown along with me here, in the Pit"

"Wait, so you don't really know him that well?"

"Not really"

"Wow," Nisha let out a short huhim by my side so he can one day repay it"

"Sure, whatever you say, kid"

The sound of wood creaking whispered through the s back to sleep I suggest you do the same because tomorroill surely be noisy"

"H back to her bed

He continued to stare at her before deciding to open up his System Window It felt like weeks since he last checked it, the Crystals that he consuive hih to recover his HP and SP

[Souls Collected: 3]

Van squinted his eyes as he looked at the dancing flames in front of him Now is probably the best time to send these Souls to the Afterlife

And so, without even delaying it any further, Van sent the Souls according to their… color

He first sent Lucas, one of Gerald's e Soul, a Neutral Soul He then sent the two Souls of the Prisoners straight to the [Fields of Punishrit his teeth, waiting for the pain that was to co happened

He could not help but sigh in relief The last time he sent a Soul to the Afterlife, he felt the most intense headache he had ever experienced in his life He definitely did not want to repeat that

Van then turned his attention towards the Windows that popped up in front of him
