"Sorry, Mina. I totally understand you mean well to help me. But really, I really don't want to join this dating agency.
During this time, Liza very rarely even rarely seldom refuses every request from her friend, especially regarding kindness. But it's different if the request took away her freedom.
As it is now. Liza doesn't like it when her freedom to choose a partner is directed by her friends. That's why she chose to voice her objections.
"Oh come on, Liza. I'm doing this for your good. It can't hurt to try, right?" Mina seduced in a pitiful tone.
"But Mina--"
"At least you can take a look at their pictures first. I'm sure you'll like one of them."
Liza sighed lazily.
This is not the first time Mina has done this. Friends since middle school, Mina has always introduced men to Liza.
Liza's ex-boyfriends were also from Mina's recommendation. But somehow Liza's relationship with them always ends in painful failure.
The reasons for Liza's failure to build relationships also vary. Starting from the incompatibility of characters, differences of opinion, and vision, to boredom. And always, the one who is hurt and left behind is Liza.
"Okay..." It was heavy, but Liza also said in agreement. "But on one condition."
"What conditions--"
"Promise me this will be the last one. I'm sure I can find soul mate for myself," Liza asked straightforwardly.
Mina let out a disappointed sigh. "Fine."
After the call ended, Liza looked back at the ticket for the online dating agency and found a code to enter into the dating agency's website.
Once the code is entered, several files appear containing the candidate's photo and complete personal data. There are about ten photos of male candidates.
Liza has to admit, that Mina is quite good at choosing candidates who have a good physique and job. Evidently, the candidates were all handsome and worked in prestigious places.
But ... As for the matter of character and character compatibility? Liza can't guarantee and confirm. Because Mina usually tends to only introduce men to Liza based on her general appearance.
"If only I could see through people's characters with just the blink of an eye, maybe I wouldn't be so easily fooled by appearances..."
In a few seconds, Liza realized that her words just reminded her of something. The one related to the power of her strange vision.
"Wait... A wink?"
Liza remembers that she has the ability to see strange light crystals when she blinks her eyelids rapidly three times. Liza also remembers the magic book that explains the heart chakra which has a powerful function in the form of love and healing energy. Is it possible ...
Without wasting any time, Liza immediately activated the power of vision by blinking her eyelids. Not only three blinks, but Liza added five more blinks.
As soon as her dark purple eyes flashed, Liza immediately shifted her gaze to several photos of men on her laptop screen.
"I can't believe it ... It turns out that the crystal can be seen in the photo ..." said Liza amazed.
If Liza can usually see the strange crystal on the human chest directly, now Liza can also see the crystal in human photos. Liza just found out about it.
And as Liza guessed. When he added five more blinks, his sight power was also active for five minutes. So it can be concluded that every blink lasts one minute.
Then without realizing it, Liza was compelled to match the curve of the crystal pattern of one of the male candidates with her crystal pattern. Maybe their pattern fits.
Liza did the matching by observing the man's crystal indentation pattern for a few seconds, then Liza closed her eyes. When his eyes were closed, the image of the man's crystal pattern curve automatically appeared in his mind. Only then did Liza open her eyes again to observe the curve of her crystal pattern. Then closed his eyes again to unite the curve of her crystal pattern with the man's crystal pattern.
Liza can see that her pattern and the boy's indentation pattern are completely out of sync. Not fit. From there, Liza began to suspect, if maybe this light crystal was a kind of indicator to find out Liza's compatibility with other people in terms of love. But that's still a raw guess. There is no solid evidence yet.
"Should I try opening the gates of the astral dimension again, huh? I want to meet with Raul and inquire about this power of mine."
Liza then got up from her chair and took the magic book. Looking for the astral dimension gate opening spell.
"Otkroyte… vorota…" Liza closed her eyes and mumbled the spell magic while doing a portal opening move. Standing with his hands together, then spread his palms forward.
As soon as Liza opened her eyes, she was surprised that nothing happened in front of her.
"What happened? I didn't misread the spells magic and moves, did I?"
Again Liza repeated the ritual earlier. The astral dimension gate slowly opened, but very slowly. It was as if something was blocking the opening of the gate.
After a few minutes of waiting with outstretched arms, the gate of the astral dimension finally opened. A very bright beam of light appeared from the floor where Liza was originally standing, along with the appearance of a large silhouette. What Liza thought was Raul's spirit, it turned out that she was wrong.
"Damn it!!"
Liza's surprise was unbelievable when she found out that what came was a goat head monster with a human body with a height of almost two meters. That might explain why the gate opening earlier was slower than usual. It would take time to pull a creature of that size out of the astral dimension.
But wait... Why is Liza able to attract this monstrous creature?
"Grrr!" The creature growled, staring at Liza with its sharp red eyes.
Seeing that horrible creature in her room, Liza must have been scared to death. Let alone run away, she just can't move. Her bones were limp.
Even though she was scared, Liza still dared to pick up the magic book that had fallen because she was shocked earlier. It just so happened that the book fell near the monster's feet.
The monster knew what Liza wanted to take, so it immediately kicked the book away. Then his laughter echoed. Very scary.
"Hoa ha ha!"
In the next second, the goat monster slowly approached Liza. Meanwhile, Liza inched backward. Get ready to run.
But before Liza turned around to run out of the room, Liza felt a very strong gust of wind from behind. Like someone was running fast. What turned out to be...
"You?? How could it be..."
Liza widened her eyes in disbelief when she found out that it was a man who was very familiar to her.
Christ. The man who took her to the hotel in Innsbruck a while ago. And to Liza's surprise, the man appeared in his spirit form.
"Zakryt' vorota!" shouted the man as he stretched out his hand towards the creature.
Instantly a red halo appeared from the floor where the monster was standing. And moments later the light seemed to suck the monster back into the astral dimension.
"Thank you..." Liza said softly to Christ.
Christ turned around and gave him a furious look. "Were you the one who opened the astral dimension portal earlier?"
"Th--that's..." Liza hung her sentence for a moment, unsure of how to answer. There's no way Liza could tell the bad guy the truth.
"That I don't know either!" Liza's lie was quick and acted like she didn't know anything.
Christ's brow furrowed, along with his suspicious squinting gaze. For a moment his eyes rolled to observe Liza from bottom to top. Noticing Liza who was only wearing a light nightgown, Christ hastily turned his face away. He didn't want to be teased by this girl again.
"Then why are you here?" Liza suddenly asked while crossing her arms to cover her chest. Preventing Christ's gaze from seeing her breasts that seemed to be looming from the outside.
Instead of directly answering, Christ smirked while bringing his steps right in front of Liza. Even though Christ's form is now a spirit that can't touch him, Liza is still on guard.
"I should be the one asking you. How can you see where I am now?"
DEG!
Unlucky! Liza intended to pretend she didn't know anything, but instead she was trapped. Liza forgot one fact ordinary humans in general shouldn't be able to see invisible spirit forms.
"I--I also don't know either!"
Liza herself also doesn't understand how she can see supernatural things like this. Liza only knows that ever since getting lost to meet the blue-eyed old man and Raul, she can see both spirit and spirit forms.
"I know you liar ..." Christ is now wrapping Liza's body with his two hands. Making Liza forced to stick to the wall. "Just tell me who you really are?"
