Chapter 79 – To end the conflict 04
It feels like even though I feel like I've prepared for all the possibilities of what could happen. Still, many things happened that I didn't expect. Including what happened in front of me when I arrived at the Jimina's House Production building. What I saw and felt was out of my imagination.
The aura given by the building feels darker and creepier than usual. You could say that this happened because the spirits inside the building were restless and uneasy, as if something was bothering them. The aura they gave off was so bad that it made my body quiver and was not strange to my current state. If I went inside, something would happen to me.
However, at the same time, I cannot just leave Roboco in danger in this building.
"Hu—" I took a deep breath to give myself confidence and calm myself down a little because it would be more dangerous if I felt more tense than usual.
After I felt very sure, I stepped into the building, and I could immediately feel and see the spirits wandering from the building. As I said before, they looked restless and uneasy. Even so, they didn't seem to be trying to hinder me but were making space so that it was easy for me to step through them. No— It felt like they were all positioning themselves in a row as if to welcome me.
It was quite a bizarre situation.
And so, when I stepped in as usual, I could feel their feelings of resentment towards Jimina and also the various memories of what happened to them—things I've experienced before. However, there was a slight difference that I could feel compared to before. Because it wasn't as intense as before, and before I knew it, I understood what was happening. I could see how they were showing their hands as if they were trying to direct me somewhere.
Something that no longer looks somewhat suspicious but very suspicious. It's just that not long after thinking like that. I slowly saw a scene, like an illusion and a dream. At the same time, it was like watching from someone's point of view.
Because not only did I see two people I knew quite well, but I could also see the conversation they were having.
"Do we really have to come here?" Said the girl I knew, Roboco, who asked her friend Azki.
"Well, we have no other choice, do we?"
"That's true, but seeing the old man's state in the past few days, it would be best not to see him for a while."
"That may be true, but—"
From their conversation, I understood that they came to this place, not voluntarily. As far as I can remember, Roboco once told me that Azki still felt a little grateful to Jimina for allowing Azki to become an idol, even if it was only an underground idol.
Anyway, I'm still confused about what happened, but I know that what I saw was something that happened a few minutes ago. They also seemed to be in a different place from where I was. I entered this building secretly, and the spirits who were taking me somewhere were beneficial by signaling to me if anyone could see me.
Ah, it seems the two of them had met with Jimina and talked about something that initially seemed normal before turning very serious. Of course, it became severe because Jimina asked both Azki and Roboco to meet people he knew. Of course, Roboco refused because she knew that all of this was only useful for Jimina so that he could maintain his position. Something that won't happen for a long time.
Azki looked slightly surprised, as Roboco usually did not resist this hard. It seemed that this surprised Jimina as well, and he became more pleading before the discussion became more heated.
It wasn't a good look.
Wait, I wonder how long until I saw this— No, I need to think about how to find Roboco, but even though I know what happened to her. I still can't guess where they are. For some reason, I thought there was a chance of finding them by following the spirits. Yeah, it feels like the vision I'm seeing is making my mind a little narrower than usual. I have a feeling that I needed to find them fast, too. Maybe it made me feel rushed.
I saw the scenery worsening, especially when I saw Jimina trying to calm things down and offering them drinks. Something that, in my eyes, was very dangerous because, in stories, bad people like Jimina would usually include drugs in the drinks.
I was grateful to see that Roboco did not drink the tea Jimina gave to her, probably because she suspected that the tea had been spiked with drugs. However, it seems that Azki did not have the same attitude and drank the tea since Roboco was busy with Jimina and had no time to forbid Azki.
Of course, Azki didn't immediately faint and the like. But I could slowly see him getting sleepier and sleepier before finally falling asleep. This made Roboco angry, and there was a commotion between the two of them. This was really very dangerous. However, I finally arrived at the place the spirits directed.
But it was very different from what I expected. There was no one in the room I opened and only a room filled with spirits that once again seemed to welcome me with one big difference. That there was one spirit that was different from the others, which was just black smoke in the shape of a human. This one actually looked human, and I could see that it was a woman with black hair and a very pale face. It wearing such long white clothing—
But even so, the spirit still had those black mists—
Not only that, I could also feel the aura of anger and vengeance given by the spirit. Even so, this spirit gave me a slightly different feeling than wanting to take over my body. It gave the impression of asking for help.
Revenge—
Vengeance—
He must pay it—
Which is followed by the spirits around as if they're like a cheerleader. Which made my head feel a bit split with the spirit and the vision I saw between Roboco and Jimina that became violent, and at some point, he slapped her in the face while roaring about how bitch she was—
Such an ungrateful one— he said.
I think I need to make you learn to respect me— and it has been a long time since I ate one—
Ha—ha—ha— My breathing got heavier as the aura around me became worse, along with the visions I saw that might cause the anger of the spirits to explode as Jimina took out an injection and was ready to give it to Roboco.
At this point, I don't think I have time to save her, and the world feels like it's in slow motion.
The woman's spirit was already gone from the middle room, and I felt it beside me.
'He tried to touch my friend— We can't forgive him— Command us— Avenge us— Be our savior—'
At this point, I don't think I have many other plans, especially when I saw firsthand that Roboco was in danger like this.
After all, when I saw Roboco being injected by Jimina and heard the whispers of the spirit, I didn't have much choice and reflexively without much thought. I raised my hand and said—
"Stop."
Then, as if in answer to my request, I could see one of the ashtrays on the table near them fly towards Jimina before hitting Jimina's palm. I don't think the force of the ashtray was too strong, but at the same time, it was probably due to a sneak attack that Jimina never imagined. The impact of the ashtray made his hand release the syringe he was about to use to Roboco.
It was easy for me to see how surprised Jimina was and think that someone had gotten into this room, or he might have thought Azki had woken up before he found that no one had been seen throwing the ashtray. He looked confused, so he stopped moving, which Roboco took advantage of.
Roboco not only pushed Jimina but also took advantage of this opportunity to make it difficult for Jimina to move by kicking the groin of this bastard. I myself could feel the pain Jimina was feeling.
Roboco then turned away and rushed towards Azki, who had been drugged. She attempted to lift Azki up, carry her out of the room, and save them from Jimina. However, of course, it was difficult for her to move a sleeping person. Moreover, there was a sense of hurry due to the fear that Jimina would soon ambush her again.
As Roboco had feared, Jimina had risen because he couldn't let Roboco and Azki escape from her. Because it only made the problem she was experiencing more complicated. However, there was no way I could let Jimina do anything. Because even though I am still confused about what happened.
I still understand what I can do. Apparently, I succeeded in doing a poltergeist because when the ashtray flew up and hit Jimina. I could feel some of the power inside my body being absorbed and leaving my body. I can say that it feels quite disproportionate to the power that escaped from me to the poltergeist power that occurred.
Even so, there wasn't much I could do, nor was there much choice. Once again, I commanded the spirits that were probably in the same room as them to throw the body. And it seemed that for that to happen, they needed energy, which was taken from my body.
And I don't think I can do much with the abilities I just gained. Because I don't know how much energy it takes to do complicated things. Just doing Poltergeist already takes a lot of energy. It's probably because I'm still not used to using this ability. No, this is my first time using the ability. Then there's one thing that makes me not dare to do this ability recklessly because I don't know what will happen if I run out of all the energy I have, especially in the middle of a place full of spirits like this.
For now, I can only perform Poltergeist and throw various small items, such as books, ashtrays, and flower vases, at Jimina. Once again, Jimina was very surprised by the phenomenon that occurred with various items flying towards her without anyone touching them. I could see Jimina freak out and lose focus on Roboco, who took advantage of the commotion that she also did not understand to take Azki out of the room and also this building.
I could see that Roboco and Azki managed to escape from Jimina's hands. Meanwhile, Jimina looked confused and looked around the room while shouting for the person who threw the items at him to come out of hiding. I don't think it ever crossed Jimina's mind that a spirit was throwing things at him.
I was very relieved to see that Roboco and Azki were safe. This should have been enough, but I didn't think it would end like this after using the spirits. I could feel the spirits' anger and see what he was about to do to Roboco and Azki. I think it's time for all the crimes he committed to pay off. Because I don't feel there is a legal system that can punish all of his actions fairly.
That's what I thought in my mind. I don't know if that thought came from the influence of the spirits. It's just that, for sure, I felt that it was time to punish Jimina.
