Chapter 232: They kidnapped a baby!

The girl yawns as she walks toward the large package lying in a garden. She can't see the owner of the large package anywhere, but she has received a notification that she has to pick it up from here. 

She checks the details on her tablet again and confirms the dimension of the large package. 

The sender name is in a strange language that she can't read. She puts down her bag and unzips it. Then, she taps on the package a few times. It morphs itself as if it's being sucked into the vacuum. In the next instant, the package is transferred to her bag.

"I hope it's not too heavy." She carries the bag on her back and checks the details of the receiver on her tablet. "Oblivion?"

Suki blinks her eyes. Is it normal for her to go to Oblivion? Isn't it closed off? That's what she heard from others. "I guess I can always return the package if the oblivion is closed off."

But it's double-work.

"I hate this slavery," She complains for the umpteenth time. 

It's been forever since she started working as a slave of the god of the messenger. She can't even recall who her parents were, but she can't ever forget the fact that she sold her off to some demon for riches. Then, that demon lost a card game against the god of the messenger. After that, she became a slave of the god of the messenger. Until the end of the time, she must remain as his slave. And she's not the only one. 

The messenger god is rather lazy. He loves playing around. So, his other hobby is collecting slaves who can work on his behalf. He also likes collecting stray souls or spirits. It's easy to dupe them. 

"Next stop is…" Suki squints her eyes. "Planet XC90?"

Now, the messenger system has special code words for all the words. Suki continues to walk toward the gate. There should be one nearby. The one that brought her here has already disappeared. 

"Is that a postwoman?" 

Someone has seen her. 

Then, she should ignore them and continue walking.

Customer service doesn't come under slavery, does it? 

Anyway, she has no reason to act nicely toward strangers. If there is no package to pick up, then she won't even talk to them.

"I think so." The woman's voice is sad. "She is ignoring us though."

Suki rolls her eyes. 

"Oii, you!" The other woman yells after her. "Why are you ignoring us? Don't you know who we are?"

She turns around and looks at them. There are three women, sitting in the garden. All of them look alike. The second one has a haughty look. Suki gives them a little bow. "Sorry, but I am busy. If you don't want to use our service, kindly do not disturb us."

"Who said that we don't want to use your service?" One of the women smirks at her. "Actually, I want to send a letter."

"Me too." The other woman says, "Can you wait for us to finish the letter?"

"Raya, don't bother her." The sad woman tells the chirpy one, "Let her leave."

"But I want to write a letter to Mother." Raya frowns at the sad woman. "Rilyah, shouldn't you write a letter to your fiance?"

"Should I?" Rilyah shrugs, looking away. "Let him be."

"You are boring." The other one clicks her tongue. "What if he loses his interest in you? We were surprised that you wanted to marry him, but we thought that you loved him."

"A few days ago, I heard a rumour." Raya utters, "He was seen with another woman."

"In another world." 

"He might have a mistress."

"Rilyah, you must do something."

"Why are you marrying him?"

Suki massages her forehead. What the fuck! This drama… Why can't people act normally? She doesn't even want to know the story behind these talks. If they start, there will not be any end. When she notices that the women aren't paying attention to her, she sneaks away from them. 

These people have the freedom to choose, but she doesn't have it. 

She can never forget that she is different from them: she can't have the luxury to relax and talk about cheating men over tea. She is a slave. Even death can't give her freedom from this fate.

Was she unlucky? If her parents had sold her to another demon, she might have a different fate now.

Becoming a demon isn't too bad. She wishes for an escape from her miserable life. 

Suki finds the gate in a wet cave. Within a few seconds, she reaches her destination. The smell of special herbs and something foul enters her nose. She stops in front of the suspicious-looking door.

This is a dormitory.

The next building is the sorcerer academy.

This is not the first time when some morons tried something that they didn't know about. If she is correct, these idiots want to get rid of whatever chaos they have produced from this world. They will give her some stupid address and tell her to take their mistakes away.

These idiots are always a headache. Why is she so unlucky? Regardless, she can't leave since she's been summoned by them.

She tries to open the door. Suki struggles to turn the knob. From the inside, she hears the sound of muffled screaming. An ominous feeling arises in her chest. 

'Help.' The quivering voice belongs to a young girl. 'Please… Save me…'

Suki takes a deep breath. Usually, she ignores and goes away. But there is a child inside. It's not like she's soft toward children, but there are special rules that she must follow. If an underaged person asks for help, she must help. It's a complimentary service provided by the messenger system.

"Why doesn't he just help people by himself?" Suki grumbles about her boss. God of Messenger is the most hateful person in the universe. He is even worse than the lord of the underworld. She's sure that nobody is as lazy but sinister as the messenger god. He should rot in hell. 

Damn! He should rot somewhere worse than hell.

Suki uses her emergency key to unlock the door. The hot air filled with the smell of blood and pee slams against her face. She covers her nose and steps inside the large room with a blood circle on the ground. There are strange symbols. 

So, she was right. These idiots were trying to summon something. Now, it has gone bad. They want her to physically send back the creature.

In the corner, she sees two figures holding each other and crying with snotty noses. Both girls are underaged, blonde, and blue-eyed. They were probably sisters. Suki notices the blood dripping from the wrist of one girl AND a finger on the floor -- it seems that something has bitten it off.

The taller girl bursts into tears and cries loudly, "Please help us, Elder Sister. That thing is… That thing is…"

"It will kill us!" The other girl exclaims. "We can't move."

"We tried sending it back, but our circle keeps rejecting it."

"We have no idea what that thing is."

"It is draining out energy."

Suki follows their frightened gaze. On the other corner of the room, she sees two glowing yellow eyes under the table. 

"So, that's the thing?" Suki frowns. "Which world did you summon it from?"

"It is Marcie's fault." The younger one says to her, "I told her that symbol was wrong."

"It got smudged when I moved." The other one replies, "It's not my fault. Now, it's completely ruined. I can't tell which world it is from."

"Our magic is completely drained. We thought that it would be a huge demon."

"It's something worse than a demon."

"I am not sure --"

The girls keep talking without a stop.

The thing under the table is hissing in anger. Clearly, nobody will be happy if they are dragged out from their home without any prior notice. Suki cautiously approaches the demon under the table. "Hello."

The growls turn louder.

"I can take you back home." Suki turns on the flashlight. "I promise that I won't harm you."

There's some shifting sound. Then, she shifts the light of the flashlight. Suki widens her eyes when she sees a baby. She has been expecting a rabid dog, but it's a chubby baby with marshmallow white cheeks. He glares at her like an angry kitten.

"Oh my god!" Suki gasps. "They kidnapped a baby!"
