NOVEL NEXT Chapter 296 Who Are You?
"So. Do you know about the other ones?"she asked as she looked at me with her eyes a bit, pondering about something.
"I do know where they are… but exactly why should I trust you with them? Your eyes… I can't seem to trust them,"I spoke as I looked at her.
"I haven't killed anyone, right? Trust me, I am strong enough to kill not only her, but three of you combined. And don't worry. My work is to make sure that you guys also go back to your own reality just like I want to go back to mine,"she spoke as she kept pondering and walking around us.
I looked at her, thinking about something for a couple of seconds before speaking,"All right. We shall meet with them first. Doubt it would lead anywhere, but since we are going to need all the trustworthy people, we could."
A bit confused, I looked at her. Won't just her and me be enough? Or was she underestimating our strength?
"Well… Michael… have you ever fought a God before?''she asked as she looked at me with a certain smile and I gave it a bit of thought.
"Maybe? There was this guy Kira… But I don't know if he-"I was going to speak, but she just hushed me as she spoke.
"Guardian of the End Kira? You must have met Erina too, then…"
I nodded as I heard the name Erina. Does she know them both?
"Well. In my reality, they both were brother and sister ruling an entire galaxy… wonder how they are doing right now. Since you fought the immortal Kira… hmmm… I don't know. His strength is truly up to par with the Lower Gods but… what if we… Man, this is annoying…''she spoke as she looked at me with irritation?
"Wait… you are saying that we will be fighting against someone as strong as Kira?''I asked as I looked at her dumbfounded… last time I had the System's special privileges… Will I be able to do it right now? I must get stronger!
"Strong as Kira? Kiddo. What are we going to fight could be at least as strong as him? If we deal with only strength, then maybe it would be fine, but it could get messy if the being has access to any higher powers… Well. We shall deal with it when that time comes. Let's build a force for now… "she spoke as she looked at me with a knowing smile. Though all I was filled with questions…
There were too many mysteries at once here…
"Well. I got a couple of questions Aisha…"I was going to ask her about the whole thing but she interrupted,"I know, I know, but you need to be calm first. I promise I will tell you everything one at a time. But it would be better if everyone involved were to know about it. Can we collect everyone first?"
She didn't seem to be lying as she smiled at me before asking,"though on that note,"she turned around to see Everi and then Irene again. She gave it a thoughtful look before turning at me,"You seem to be busy with a lot of things here. I guess I will help you out of it as well."
After speaking that, she simply stood there as she looked at me, waiting for me to speak. I simply sighed at her rushed behavior where she was jumping in everything on her own, but since she seems to be knowing more about this whole thing, I didn't speak anything.
"Well. I was going to drop that girl to her mother after killing the guy who kidnapped her and brainwashed her."
"Wait what?!" Everi, who was concentrating on the conversation, suddenly jumped in as she heard about her situation. "What do you mean by brainwashed? Kidnapped?"she added as she looked for answers.
Aisha, who seemed to understand everything without me telling anything, nodded,"and you know how to handle the situation?"
"Well. I was going to let it flow as it is and interfere when things get out of hand,"I spoke honestly. I am not the best when it comes to family situations. All I could do was provide the truth… in fact, I was counting more on Irene to handle this than me myself.
"Not very sharp, are we? I could see her hatred about her mother even from miles away… she will probably kill the entire family without batting an eye. You know that, right?"Aisha asked, as she looked at me with doubtful eyes.
"Yeah. I knew that. But I had my own skillset to prevent that from happening,"I said as I looked at her smiling, before she sighed as she spoke,"I guess so. Though I don't believe something like that would have worked, to be honest. Hmmm… since we have some time, let me show you an aspect of the human emotion spectrum… or Vampires in this case."
Speaking of that, she began walking towards Everi as she looked at her a little more than before, and right after she saw looked into her eyes,
"Let's go then. Her mom isn't that far from here."
Observing her, I couldn't help but be astonished. Just what kind of freaky skills does she possess? She then began walking before she saw a bunch of kids looking at us from a distance. They were wearing white ragged clothes with patches of mud on them. Her eyes smiled as she spoke,
"You saved them?"
I nodded as I looked at those kids, curious yet crazy. Their mental state was more or less messed up, and I still don't know if there is a way to make them turn 'normal'.
She raised her hand as she said something,"[Irge misn litahi]" and all the kids began walking towards her in unison. They didn't seem to be brainwashed as they came on their own accord, making me a bit more curious than before. What kind of language was that?
"[Lilac!]''Aisha spoke again as a bright light escaped her heart and began glowing the entire area. The light was filled with blessing as Aisha smiled looking at those kids, her eyes filled with a certain joy, as she saw them.
[Status: Complex -> Abnormal -> Healthy]
The children… their mental state became normal from complications with the light. They seemed to be much calmer than before as one by one they started losing their abnormal status too while falling on the ground unconscious.
They seemed to have aged a little too while their body was growing malnutritioned. Aisha kept on observing them while she stretched a little. The kids kept falling down one by one until all of them were asleep.
"Okies. That was the last one of them. Michael. Do you have anything you can feed them? I healed their mental state, but that costed a bit of their own energy. It would be better if we get them to eat something,"Aisha spoke as she looked at me with a refreshed smile.
To change the mental state of someone who had been tortured from their very childhood, as if nothing… Just who was she?
