ORION
Dodging and the Fate Came
It seems Orion is often unconscious. This time he woke up in unusual circumstances. His body was bound in a sitting position on a chair facing Gista who was holding his arm and Mahanta who was standing at the side while waving his hand towards him.
“Because it's awake. I want to ask you something. When and why did you die? Then who did it?”
Consciously already given the question that Orion refused to answer. By the time Orion had fully regained consciousness, he was just staring at the two of them with a suspicious look. Then glanced in any direction.
“What is he mute?” thought Gista.
“Should not. Because when this child was confined in the basement, he still had time to shout and also ..uhuk! Cussing,” Mahanta replied with an intentional cough.
Orion still shied away from the sight of the two of them. I am reluctant to even open my mouth now. Because you know, if you say the wrong word a little will definitely endanger his life.
“For now I don't know what's going on with my body. And the fact that my body always prioritizes defending itself, it's still unclear. Either because of the blood that the NED Fighters are after or because of an NED syndrome itself.” Orion nodded with a restless face.
“Can you tell me your name?” Gista asked back.
“Take it easy. I won't hurt you or your family. I only intend to help you but before I have to know the reason you died and that's when it happened,” explained Gista negotiating.
“What do you want? It seems like NED Fighters are always being rude like this, yes.” Orion snorted without looking at their faces.
“Sorry, I don't mean that. It's just that your strength is still unstable, in this city there is me who mastered it from behind the scenes. Many people like us here, we protect it.”
“If I were someone like them who had attacked you, then surely you would be the bones in the basement,” Gista reminded Orion of the prison cell he had seen.
Just like that, Orion turned his gaze towards them. Seeing and will remember the faces of the two of them well until his forehead is wrinkled.
“Orion Sadawira. I don't want to explain why, when and who made me die. But clearly, I prefer death to life.” Orion introduced himself.
He is a man without ambition, his old age is also hidden in the body of a small child. Although it is hard to believe, even getting back up after death is no different.
His body, which moves according to his instinct to survive outside, is still mysterious. But Orion guessed that it was because of the blood called the blood connecting body soul (awakening the dead soul). To keep Orion alive when in his mind he wants to die again.
“Hm, it's funny enough to be heard by a kid dressed in a shabby shirt.” Gista mutters.
“You are also tired when talking to small children. Don't do that, the little boy needs love. It is possible that in the life that he had suffered so much, violence in the family became quite common especially in these years,” said Mahanta, the burly man while hugging Orion's body with gentleness.
“Ya, right. I suffered so much that it felt like dying again,” Orion said with a face that was getting tangled. It was seen he was angry when he was hugged by this burly young man.
“Wah, his words sound mature once, yes?” thought Mahanta was astonished. He let go of his embrace and looked at Orion's body from toe to toe.
“Oh, it seems I understand why you said that he was quite cute with a shabby shirt outfit,” chirped Mahanta and re-observed every inch of Orion's body with a crouching sitting position.
“This must be because of her style of speech as well as her style of clothing that is not like a child! Hahaha!” makota Mahanta then giggled.
“Are you sure, Orion? You've come back to life and now you want to die again? I know enough that everyone must have had problems in their past. Don't you want to avenge those who have treated you so badly? Or maybe atoning for sins?” Gista.
“If you say so he will understand? Atone for sin or whatever, he'll be a child who enters elementary school,” said Mahanta. Thinking that what Gista thought was too far for a little child.
“No. I seriously. I even intend to send her, grooming and other things that I can do for her,” Gista said quite confidently.
“This woman is weird. And somehow I feel worried about talking too much in front of him. Does he know anything about me? Impossible.” Orion nodded his head.
“There are people offering help without the slightest reward? You must be kidding, yeah. I bet you want something from me?” guessed Orion with a defiant face.
Mahanta who was shocked because of the change in expression of the little boy whispered to Gista.
“Are you sure you put a kid like this?” mahanta asked in a whisper.
“You didn't see how he spoke earlier. He's a smart kid,” Gista said with a faint smile.
Instantly the atmosphere there became silent for a moment. Seeing Gista who was smiling for some reason they became silent as if this was the first time Gista smiled.
Gista got up from his seat and approached Orion who was still tied up. He took off the rope that tied his body, then looked back at Orion's face with a crouching position.
“Orion, I'd be so happy to come with you. Of course in exchange, I will take care of you to adulthood and make you always live happily,” said Gista.
Orion was speechless with a cold sweaty face. He feels that this is the best choice but the feeling is not good especially on Gista. This woman had once defeated him in a single strike, it was definitely dangerous. If he knew that Orion had something of blood that he had assumed was the connecting blood of the body soul, he would be taken advantage of.
“I don't even know, whether before I was actually pierced by his sword or not. It's a little annoying, I have to run.” Orion is back.
“No want!” orion shouted and ran away.
As much as possible, he stayed away from this place. Wherever there is a door, Orion will always break through to the outside of the super-large house.
Orion's conscience seemed to say, "It's better to leave before something worse happens."
But destiny says something else. Intending to go to stay away from bad luck, but when out of the house Orion actually met with 5 NED Fighters whose faces are not friendly.
“This is the boy who just got up?”
They all looked different to the man who had previously chased after Orion.
“Dik, want some candy? If you want come with uncle.”
