The Psychopath Meets Indigo
Chapter 6 - Karma

What makes you feel safe the most?

Someone or a place?

***

Without a second thought, Xiao immediately went to buy the medicine for Chan. He walked down the aisle of the apartment that just sneezed an incandescent light.

At that time Xiao forced himself to continue to move his legs. There are a lot of strange creatures around.

Slowly Xiao's sweat began to fill his temple. Especially when he saw the bald-headed and one-legged creature. His tongue seemed to stick out of his mouth. The creature looked at Xiao with its white eyes.

Until his rotten-looking hand suddenly gripped Xiao's arm. Xiao's eyes immediately puffed. Now the creature realized that the man in his grip could see it.

The pelontos-headed creature instantly carved a terrifying smile on its face. It was as if he had found the right prey.

Xiao's body was sculpted from feeling extremely frightened. The creature seemed to have hypnotized him.

Brak!

The bald creature threw Xiao to the floor. Xiao's head was jolted and his vision immediately darkened instantly.

***

Slowly Xiao opened his eyes, and he was immediately shocked when he saw that he was already in a dark and unfamiliar room. The walls in the room seemed to be covered in frozen blood, even the fishy smell kept on poking out Xiao's nose.

Only the light from the crack of the door became Xiao's light in the room. The windows or the vents are not there at all.

"Please!!!" peek Xiao, hoping that there is someone who can help him immediately. But dozens of times the man screeched, not a single person trying to come to his aid.

"Whoever please.." Xiao muttered softly, his tears began to drip. He tried to open the door, but his efforts were in vain. The door was locked and could not be opened.

Suddenly the shadow of his past starts to haunt him. The shadow when Xiao locked the captives in the barn. The shadows when he did not respond at all screams for help from his captives. Now the man knew what it was like to be alone and in an unfamiliar room.

Slowly Xiao started to whine while curled up behind the door. He could not hope for anyone, because now he did not have someone to trust. Until finally the name Viera crossed his memory.

"Viera!!!" now Xiao is trying to summon the ghost of the woman he has been with lately.

Xiao shouted while looking at the entire corner of the foreign room. His forehead immediately frowned, as he did not see Viera's nose stem there at all.

"Please! please.. anyone.." whine Xiao while ruffling his hair because it was so frustrating.

Chequek!

Suddenly the door slowly opened, Xiao immediately stood up. But his pupils instantly enlarged when he saw a bald creature reappearing from behind the door. Slowly Xiao tried to step back to get away from the creature. Until he arrived at the wall that was the farthest from the creature.

Xiao grew even more frightened, upon hearing the voice emitted by the bald creature. The creature let out a voice like a strangled person, and he was still standing staring at Xiao in front of the door.

"Kkkkkk..."

The bald creature smiled as it glared at Xiao who was trembling in fear.

Nah!

The pelontos-headed creature jumped with one leg. One jump is very far. And he was now standing right before Xiao.

"Xiao.." unexpectedly the creature made a sound with a voice like a whisper. His hand slowly touched Xiao's cheek.

"Le-le-let go a-a-I..." Xiao tried to dare to make a sound. But the creature did not respond at all to the words that Xiao uttered in a stammering tone.

"XIAO!!!" Viera suddenly came from behind the door, the female ghost directly attacked the pelontos-headed creature.

"Quick get out of here!!!" viera's orders are constantly trying to restrain the movement of the bald creature.

Xiao immediately ran out of the room. But instead of being relieved, he was even more confused by the endless dark passageway. Both the hallways on the left and right, both of them looked so ambiguous.

Xiao felt increasingly desperate when he heard the moaning sound of Viera who was still fighting against the bald creature. Until finally he chose the hallway based on his gut feeling. Xiao ran down the left aisle.

Nah! Nah! Nah!

Xiao continued to run with all his might, he could only see the darkness both in front and behind him. His breath began to cringe. He stopped for a moment while holding both knees.

Every now and then Xiao continued to look back, and continued to hope that the bald creature would not chase after him.

Slowly Xiao continued his run. The run slowed down even more, as the passageway he passed by still felt the same as if it was endless.

It felt like he had been through that dark passage for hours. The sweat began to wet Xiao's clothes, he now leaned his body against the wall and immediately sat down. The man's eyes closed and immediately fell asleep.

***

"Xiao! Xiao!" suddenly the sound and shock of someone woke Xiao from his sleep. The voice came from the girl in front of him.

Xiao was so shocked, because he just realized it turned out that the girl was Chan. His face looked worried.

"Chan's? before Xiao could finish his question, Chan immediately pulled Xiao's hand and took him running. Without a second thought, Xiao's body automatically followed the girl.

Xiao felt a great sense of confusion, when he saw that the wounds on Chan's body had already disappeared. The girl really looks fine.

Nah! Nah! Nah!

There was only the sound of footsteps accompanying Xiao and Chan. The two have no voice at all with each other. Chan's hand continued to tightly grip Xiao's fingers.

The two of them continued to run down the hallway. From the front was a small light that slowly grew. The closer the light gets, the more dazzling it becomes.

"What is Chan?" Xiao tried to break the silence between himself and Chan.

"Go out!" sahut Chan who is accelerating his run.

Not waiting for a long time, both of them were already right in front of the light. But suddenly, Xiao's leg was pulled by a pair of hands. It suddenly made Xiao immediately fall and slammed onto the floor.

Chan clasped Xiao's hand even tighter. His face was grimacing, as he was exerting all his strength to save Xiao.

"Chan please don't let me go!... CHAN!" peeking Xiao whined hysterically.

"Mmmmhhh!" muttered Chan while pulling Xiao's hand with both hands.

"Bark! ... Aaaarkh! ... Aark!" Xiao continued to shout because he was struck by a great fear.

"GO UGLY CREATURES!!!" pekik Chan tries to repel the creature that keeps taking Xiao away from him.
