I was stunned.
“What are you talking about? I’m not in the mood to joke with you, Noel.” I frowned. I did not understand why he was telling me a joke at such a moment. I did not have much time to talk to him. If the two men woke up and did not see me, they would come down to get me soon. And if they knew I had sneaked into the secret room…
There was no need to guess what they would do to me.
[It isn’t a joke. I am telling you the truth. They aren’t human.]
“If they are not human, what are they then? Are they ghosts and that’s why they keep bedeviling me?”
[Uh...]
“If you don’t want to say it, just tell me. Don’t get on my nerves like this. You’re frustrating me.”
[Calm down. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. But I have my own life to worry about as well.]
“...”
[But believe me, you’re with very dangerous people. No matter how much they love you, if you know of them, then you have to agree with me that they’re more than death.]
