A Deathly Gamble
Aesther was standing frozen at the doorway.
She had heard the sickening sound earlier, like a cork getting crushed. The screams followed soon, rattling the whole building.
The scene of the room inside made her stiff.
Ezrahl was coldly looking down at the old trembling man, his voice was filled with frost as he said.
"Liar."
Noah arrived a moment later, yelping at what he saw.
"What the fuck is this…?"
Aesther felt a sense of familiarity as she looked at the bloody mess.
In her past life, a long long time ago, Inez had come hurrying to her. She was excited, awe gleaming in her eyes.
She recounted a story about a strange man brought from one of the towns near the boundary of Akamori. She offhandedly mentioned that the man was neither dead nor alive, his body was in an odd condition.
The physicians were supposed to examine it.
