Ball of Incense

Outside San Juan Hospital.

"Do you think the old woman is telling the truth? I feel like she's hiding something about what happened to them." Frey curiously walks the way out of the big Hospital. She is still in her human form, using her true appearance.

[THE OLD WOMAN APPEARS TO BE TELLING THE TRUTH.]

Frey nodded at the System's response to her. The young reaper is slightly biting the tip of her index finger, she's a little dissatisfied with the explanations she got.

"If you believe that their son didn't do anything bad to them, why did you say he was a murderer? You give me an idea about him." She will blame the System because she is only following every command from her.

[I ONLY SHOW THE HOST THE THINGS I DETECTED ALL OF THOSE ARE TRUE.]

"Oh my! You're a mess talking at, you know, let's just go back to them." She was talking about her Team.

"They need my help," she added.

The girl hastily went to the Black Ford she left in the parking area of ​​the Hospital. But she looked around before finally going inside. Looking to see if anyone was watching her.

[YOU SHOULD STAY HERE HOST, IT IS BETTER NOT TO HAVE THE HOST BESIDE THEM, TO AVOID TRAGEDY.]

"Ah! What did you say? I'm a disaster now?"

Frey just sneered before looming as if there was an enemy.

After a while, a sudden buzzing sound again from the System appeared while taking the road to her target destination.

PING!

[WARNING: ONE SIDE QUEST EXPIRING]

[SIDE QUEST EXPIRING]

[ °Answering logic will not be a bad idea.

QUESTION: What HOT do Andreus have, that the Host also has?

REMAINING TIME: 10 minutes

REWARD: Additional 20℅ of Intelligence to host plus 30 EXP.]

Frey read the logic given to her several times. It cannot be denied that her Intelligence level needs to increase, she is a low I.Q for some matters.

"There are a lot of quests, just increase my Level automatically, so I'll be happy with you instead," Frey said, eyes still focused on the road. She turned the steering wheel to the left, the road she was taking now is leading to the construction site where they had captured Eduardo's soul.

But while maneuvering he noticed the sun has already gone back to his home. "The sunset is over."

[YOUR CLIENT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET TO HIS SECOND CHANCE TO HAVE A NEW LIFE. THE LIMIT GIVEN TO HIM IS OVER.]

Frey shook her head several times, convincing herself that there is another way to help him cross over peacefully. She has this guilt, claiming responsibility for the wrong move.

"I don't agree with you, there are still ways I just need to figure it out. By the way my answer to your logic," she paused. "It was the letter 'S'. Now increase my Intelligence capacity."

PING!

[SIDE QUEST COMPLETED]

[ADDING 20% OF INTELLIGENCE ON HOST STATS. CURRENT INTELLIGENCE 60/100%]

[A TOTAL OF 30 EXP HAS BEEN CREDITED. CURRENT EXP 250/500]

"I love easy quests," Frey smiled and answered the logic that was given to her a few hours ago. She already knew the answer from the beginning. Even a grade schooler knows the answer to that question.

"What HOT do Andreus have, that the Host also has? It's obvious that it's 'S' unless another Hot is being asked."

[CONGRATULATIONS.]

"Yeah, don't be two-faced to me," she laughed about her Congratulations. "It's better if you level me up, driving, walking, and running is tiring. I want to teleport like them."

Frey always got fascinated when Andreus suddenly appears and disappears in front of her. Just like the fantasy series or movies, she watches on television.

[TELEPORTATION WILL OPEN WHEN THE HOST REACHES LEVEL 2. SHE ONLY NEEDS TWO HUNDRED FIFTY EXP.]

"Oh my! That will take another day again, why didn't you just give me the free teleportation skill." Frey just pouted her lips.

[HOST MAY OPEN MENU BAR TO SEE AVAILABLE QUESTS SHE CAN DO TO HELP HER PREVIOUS LEVEL INCREASE.]

Frey simply trained her hand in front of her, signaling that she did not agree with what she was babbling. "Besides, I have to go to Andreus first. I'm a negotiator, they'll need my beauty there for sure."

She glanced at the face in the rearview mirror. Yes, she is already in Celestine's body, so she got the full package in her form.

'Well, it's not that bad. Celestine is beautiful too.'

At that point, she suddenly thought about her family and her fiancé, Charles. 'Are they all okay?'

[HOST HAS A CHANCE TO GO TO THE WORLD OF PEOPLE. HER ROLE IS BETWEEN THE UNDERWORLD AND THE HUMAN WORLD. SHE CAN ANSWER HER QUESTIONS. BUT SHOULD NOT FORGET THE MOST COMMISSION, BE THE HIGHEST AND TOP REAPER TO EARN YOUR REWARD.]

Frey was just dumbfounded by the System's words. Suddenly her hands trembled and tension built up in her chest. really see them?"

[POSSIBLE, BUT THE HOST CANNOT DECLARE HERSELF TO ANYONE BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE HER FOR SURE. THE SYSTEM ALSO CARES ONLY FOR THE HOST.]

It's touching but Frey has no intention of having drama. But that information gave her joy and courage to finish the Mission.

From there, the pace of Frey's car fastened even more, rushing to where Andreus was.

The building was so steep that she had to climb just to find them. She could feel the energy of Andreus and Captain Farvati but that of the captain that was with them earlier was gone.

It was only her soul that ended up in Celestine's body, so maybe she still has some things she can do in the Reaper's body. It includes reading the energy around her–and there was another one she had just tried a while ago.

'But why not teleportation?'

Frey's thoughts were interrupted when she heard the buzz and beeping sound coming from her system.

[BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAS THE SKILLS THAT THE HOST CAN USE. THE SYSTEM CAN PROVIDE LOOT ITEMS IN SUDDEN SITUATIONS. THE SYSTEM CAN BETTER PROVIDE THE HOST WITH SKILLS BEYOND HER CAPABILITIES.]

Frey just nodded and curved her lips, she is trying to understand it.

[THERE ARE SOME CAPABILITIES ALREADY INBORN IN A REAPER, WHICH THE SYSTEM CANNOT PROVIDE TO THE HOST.]

"Oh?" Frey asked sarcastically.

[YES.]

She gestured both hands in front of her, moving her shoulders with the same motion as her hands upward. Her lips partially parted and eyebrows upright bringing her eyes with them telling her an 'okay-whatever-you-say look.

"They're on the eighteenth floor, I can sense them. C'mon!" Frey ran as fast as she could on every stair the building floor had. She ignored the fatigue and pain in her legs, it was more important to help her team deal with the Vengeance soul.

***

Unfortunately, Eduardo's soul is haunting the construction workers he may know. His flaming eyes were glazed with dark circles between them, caused by his death.

The shouts and struggles echoed through the heavy man. Blood is disappearing from his face, his lips are even running into violet. The heavy legs of the construction workerwasardo were holding were flapping in mid-air.

"Eduardo, stop it. Come with us." Andreus, trying to make a good deal with the soul.

"Leave him alone, let him do what he wants. Alright, I'll give you fifteen minutes if you haven't done what you want..." Captain Farvati interrupted what he was saying. "I'll drag you to hell."

"You people are going to die!" Eduardo's deep voice seemed to thunder across the whole floor.

The male hostage is trying to speak but he can't, the air flowing through his system has gone down.

"I will take you to my pit."

A strong wind blew and the place where everyone was standing shook slightly. The other three kneeling workers beg the force they cannot see.

Captain Farvati who was leaning against the concrete wall with no paint hums while Andreus plastered his eyes on the scene he was witnessing. He was constantly arguing with the captain about whether they were doing the right thing just watching them.

But in the middle of the commotion, came Frey who was grabbing on her knees. Exhausted.

"Hey, E-Eduardo stop it, please. It's over, c-come with u-us and let us talk about the p-problem." Frey is starting to do her duty as a Negotiator.

"Celestine!" It was Andreus on the other side.

But Eduardo keep on protesting, he even threw the victim he was holding. Then an attack on Frey was released, and a massive air boom on her body cause her balance to cut off.

The spirit was indeed hard-headed.

And it leads Frey to use her last chance of attack.

She raised her right hand and release the ball of circling incense filling the whole building. It will calm any spirit attracted to its lavender and ivory scent.

The incense grew bigger and brighter, its smoke-like figure diving to reach the soul it detects.
