2. m. Paranormal Games (2)

Hide and Seek with Alice. Elliot repeated the sentence. He had never been interested in playing this kind of supernatural game. For the last time he dealt with the White Death alone, Elliot was forced to bear one curse.

Given that, Elliot is dizzy. Although the injuries from the experiment have now healed, the trauma to the scientists and the people is still unfolding.

All right, put that aside first. All he has to do now is interview. He should be able to finish this essay immediately.

Everyone who plays this game (both idle and indeed big guts) says that they all stop playing in the middle because there is a male voice inside the house. Elliot furrowed his brows and asked.

"Male voice? That who?"

(Conon said, it was Alice's killer. If he has entered the house, there is no way to drive him out.)

Elliot hung on for a long time. Trying to find the meaning of this game. On one hand, he wanted to know if Alice in this game was his adopted son or not. On the other hand, he did not want to deal with supernatural beings anymore.

In the end, he made a very courageous decision. Care for the devil if he finally adds length to his list of curses.

Elliot approached other sources who wanted to try the game. Elliot asked that he be allowed to enter the house when the man's voice was heard.

Indeed, at that time the tapper is not as sophisticated as today, but Elliot uses it. He needs the right timing to get rid of the male ghost. Be Elliot put up some bugging tools in the house. Of course, with the permission of the owner of the house.

Since the game was only allowed to be done alone, Elliot could only wait outside the house. Warming his hands in front of the campfire, he waited until the game began.

"Alice I am playing your game now."

There was a sound from the eavesdropping receiver that Elliot installed.

"It's started, huh?" muttered Elliot while looking straight at the home of the source.

That night was long for the owner of the house. He had to look for a paper with his name and Alice.

Several times he was misled by the ghost of the woman, until the sound of a male voice in the house. Elliot immediately enters the house and uses his powers to protect the owner of the house.

"We meet here, Alice's killer," Elliot stared intently at the ghostly figure before him.

Ahahaha!! Alice's foster father, huh? You want revenge, huh?

"I don't want revenge, just want to protect this man." Elliot used holy water vapor to exorcise the ghost.

Holy water? You're....

Elliot's left chest is stabbed by the ghost. Making the manifestation of Neptune fell with blood drenched in the chest.

Not dead? Wh why?

"Unfortunately you didn't work on me, did you?" Elliot again used holy water vapor to eradicate the presence of the male ghost.

FUCKIN' SHIT! ALICE!

There was only a terrible scream from the ghost. Elliot held onto his chest that had been stabbed. He could only pull the knife from there without being able to stop the bleeding.

(Daddy?) the familiar voice surprised Elliot.

"Alice?" Elliot turned his head and saw the familiar shadow approaching and formed a figure that he must have known well. "It's true it's you."

(Daddy, why is Daddy here? Daddy even recklessly burst into the middle of the ritual!) alice's sobs were heard and so was shaking.

"Sorry, Alice. But, Daddy just wants to protect the ones who have this house" Elliot explained as he extended his power. Intended to wipe the hair of his adopted daughter like before.

Alice is no longer human as she once was. Of course Elliot's hand was like touching empty air.

(Daddy, because Daddy messed up the ritual. He's angry and the stabbing will be a curse to Daddy. Alice couldn't help Daddy neutralize the curse!)

Ah, crap! Apparently so! Unfortunately Elliot realized too late and immediately the wound on his left chest felt so hot and burning. Elliot was unconscious.

The smell of the refisol and the white scene again greeted the senses of the bentala. This time it was not OTS 44 who took care of her, but her brother. The fifth planet in the solar system, Jupiter.

"Sister, I just realized why is that so welcome?" Elliot felt troubled himself. "Where is this?"

{Hospital of the center where I work.} there is a pause before Jupiter resumes conversion. {You're really sloppy, huh? Although celestial beings cannot die, but if they constantly receive curses. Your supernatural power will weaken! Then what about our mission later?}

Jupiter's wrath flows endlessly. Thoughtfully hit Elliot's eardrum. Making the youngest son of Mentari bow his head.

"Sorry, Brother. I didn't think I'd get there..."

{Haduuh, even you split yourself in half. In this case, it will only cause disaster, El.} remarks Jupiter this time sound like a complaint.

But Elliot could not deny, that his decision to divide him in two caused various disasters. If only he did not divide himself, this kind of incident would certainly not....

{That curse can only be broken if it destroys the entity that cursed you.} Jupiter took a seat next to her sister's bed. {Only, because you were hit by the curse. You can't destroy it yourself. You need someone else to do it.}

"Then, Brother—"

{Not me either, El.} Jupiter immediately cut off his sister's speech. {My strength is not suitable for exterminating supernatural beings. You must find someone who can exterminate the creatures that have cursed you.}

Elliot remained silent. Does that mean Alice will be destroyed?

{You understand, El? The only way is to destroy those creatures. You can't be compassionate to them. Your nature has invited danger to know!} Jupiter's wrath continues.

"I understand, Brother." Elliot lowered his head.

He was out of words. Can't be compassionate. Has he been too loose when interacting with the earthlings? Elliot simply avoids the bad karma he endured in the past.

However, the longer the bad karma grows even though he tries to make up for all his mistakes. Does that mean he as a celestial being cannot be human?

Elliot and the others' mission is to protect earthlings from dangers that come from outside as well as within the earth. But now, Jupiter's words seemed to hit him.

Jupiter realized that she had added to her brother's burden by constantly pressing him since the brother entered the hospital. The big man sighed and scrambled Elliot's blue hair.

{Rest, El. I'll find a way that you can be free from the curses that are on you.}

"Thank you, Brother."

{Nothing. Come, break!}

Jupiter exited the treatment room and her twin captured the figure of OTS 44 at the door.

{You?!}

(Oh, the fifth son of Mentari? I'm worried about your sister. How's condition?) ask Laurens without further ado.

{You want to come here?!} jupiter's voice rises by 2 octaves.

(I asked carefully, Jupiter. This your attitude? And again this is a hospital, can it scream?)

{TCH!} Jupiter was grieving when he heard Laurens' fall. {Not completely good, even the curse is increased again.}

(What else this time?)

{The chest will burn and the time of occurrence is erratic. I can't predict it.} replied Jupiter honestly.

(Ah, that kid is too innocent and too kind-hearted, yes. Just bother.) Laurens has commented again. (If this continues, it is not impossible that your sister will be destroyed first.)

{Hopefully not. I'm sure Elliot is strong.}

However, neither Laurens nor Jupiter knew. That afterwards, Elliot would deal with supernatural things. Somehow eventually, only time will tell.
