Chapter 112

112 Chapter 112: Brain Killer

A strange insect flew around. It went into the house of an old man who was sleeping soundly with his wife. The bug came in through the opening of the window and went all the way through. This bug is like a grasshopper, but it is smaller. It fits perfectly in human openings like the nose, eyes, and mouth. The old man’s mouth was open, so the bug went in.

A few minutes later, the old woman woke up when her husband suddenly covered her face with a pillow. The woman fought back, but because her husband was stronger and didn’t like being woken up suddenly, he killed her. When the man was sure that the woman was dead, he left the room, walked to the kitchen, got a knife, and cut himself. The knife he was holding fell from his hand, and then his body did, too, as blood ran onto the floor. The bug then flew away.

Emy just stood there staring at the bathroom as she looked into it. Reed woke up and saw her, so he immediately sat up in bed.

“Wifey, is there a problem?” Reed asks.

Emy took a deep breath. “I want to take a shower, but that’s not possible.”

Reed got up and walked toward Emy. He let out black smoke and wrapped Emy’s bondage on her shoulder.

“There, you can take a shower now. It won’t be able to get wet.” Reed said.

“Huh? What did you do?” Emy asked, and then she turned to look at Reed.

.....

“I used black smoke to seal that part of your shoulder so it wouldn’t get wet,” Reed said.

Reed saw Emy smile. “Are you sure it is waterproof?” Emy asked.

“Of course. Also, maybe you want us to take a bath together? To just have someone scrub your body.” Reed had a sly smile on his face.

“There is no need.” E my said. “I know what’s going through your head.”

Emy quickly went into the bathroom and locked the door. Although she knew Reed could still get in, even if she locked the door. She left Reed outside the bathroom, where he had a small laugh. Reed used to look in the mirror to see what he looked like. He frowned because he could see his reflection in the mirror, even when Emy wasn’t around. He walked over to the mirror and looked at himself. Reed doesn’t see himself as he is. Instead, he sees himself as Emy sees him.

“What does that mean?” Reed said.

He also noticed that the wounds and scars on his chest got less noticeable. He gently touched it with his finger.

‘Amazing!’

Devin took a deep breath while looking at Reed’s house. Reed is standing in the room as Emy enters the bathroom. Reed scowled. He looked just below where he was standing. He heard about the murder right away.

He teleported and went into the house. He was standing next to a man who was drinking coffee. It was about what happened to two old couples living in a squatters area. The old couple’s close neighbor was dead when she saw what happened. The police are still trying to figure out why the man killed himself and why the woman was killed. The couple’s friend thought there was no reason for the man to kill the woman and for her to kill herself since they weren’t hungry even though they lived in a squatters area. They also don’t work as hard as others.

“Isn’t that weird? If that’s how they met their husband and wife, then maybe someone else killed them? The man told his wife, who was making breakfast, that he was going to work.

“So what do you mean? Like the mysterious deaths on TV in the past? The unexplained deaths while sleeping?”

“Yes, it is,” the man said. “People should go to church and repent.”

Devin smirked, and then suddenly left the couple’s house.

“Is this another mysterious murder?”

Jasmin sat next to Avery, holding two cups of coffee. She put the cup on the table next to the sofa and still had the other in her hand. Avery was cleaning her Katana while she watched TV. Since she became a shaman, the news and wonders happening all around her have become the most important things in her life.

“We need to know because there could be another demon involved in this case.”

“All right, I’ll call Sir Reed...” Jasmin said.

Avery didn’t object to what Jasmin did. She had to admit that Devin and Reed were giving her a lot of help in keeping the demons under control.

—

“Jasmin, you have been called.”

Reed was taking a shower in the bathroom when Emy answered the phone. Emy had just finished getting dressed and was busy making their bed.

“Have you watched the news on TV, Miss Emy?” Jasmin asked.

“Ah, no. Why? Is anything there?” Emy asked, and she got the remote control from the bedside table and turned on the TV. He didn’t see any news that Jasmin would be interested in.

“I don’t see any news that I find interesting.” E my said.

“Perhaps the news is ended.”

“What interesting things are happening in the news?” Emy asked.

“Two couples died last night, and they found their bodies today. And Avery wanted to look into it.”

“What is it, wife?” Reed asked suddenly, hugging Emy’s back and kissing her on the neck.

“Jasmin would like to speak with you.” E my said. “Oh Jasmin, I’ll give the phone to Reed.”

“Okay,” Jasmin said.

When Emy gave the phone to Reed, she was about to leave, but Reed wouldn’t let her go. Instead, he put his chin on the top of one of her shoulders.

“Jasmin, what is it?” Reed asks.

“Avery wants to find out what’s going on.”

“What is he going to look into?”

“Because there was news earlier about old couples who had died.”

“And do you think the demon is involved again?”

“Yes, Sir. He wanted to look into what happened because it was so strange.”

“Okay, I’ll go see her in a little while, and Emy and I will just do something,” Reed said.

Reed didn’t wait for Jasmin to answer because he had already turned off the phone. He threw the phone on the bed and then started kissing Emy on the neck.

“Oh, so this is what we’re going to do?” Emy said, laughing.

“That’s right,” Reed whispered to Emy before planting a passionate kiss on her mouth.

—-

“What did Sir Reed say?”

Jasmin put the phone down on the table, took a sip of her coffee, and then looked at Avery.

“He said that he is going to come here. Maybe we should get ready so they don’t have to wait too long when they get here.” Jasmin said.

Avery quickly put his Katana back in its sheath and carefully set it on the table. Jasmin rushed into the bathroom when she saw how Avery was acting.

“Haist,” Avery said as Jasmin ran ahead of her.

“I’ll be quick, I promise!” Jasmin said, smiling.

Devin was sitting on the couch at Eve’s house with his cousin, drinking coffee and watching the news.

“I don’t think a demon caused that murder,” Dynhir said.

“It’s a demon,” Devin said. “You notice that the old couple can’t be killed.”

“So you say that the old man killed his wife?” Eve asked.

“Yeah,” Devin said. “If I’m not mistaken, those are bugs, brain-killing bugs.”

“How did it get here?” asked Dynhir.

Devin didn’t answer. He just sipped his coffee and then got up.

“Where’re you going?” Eve asked.

Devin smiled. “No matter what, I want to see Emy.”

“Are you going to see her at her home?” asked Dynhir.

“Thank you for the coffee,” Devin said after that, he was no longer in their view.

—

Devin was standing outside Jasmin and Avery’s house when they came out and were surprised to see him there. He smiled at the two of them as they walked toward him.

“Sir Devin, what are you doing here?” Avery asked.

“What else?” Devin asked. “I know what you’re both thinking, and that’s why I’m here. “But where is Emy?”

Jasmin chuckled. “Why should you look for Miss Emy instead of Sir Reed? He’s the one who can help you and Avery.” Jasmin said.

Reed’s car stopped in front of Avery and Jasmin’s house just as Devin was about to reply. Reed saw Devin talking with two women right away.

“What is he doing there?” Reed’s voice sounded annoyed.

“Devin might want to help you out,” Emy said.

“Perhaps it is you he wants to see,” Reed said.

Devin opened the car door and Jasmin and Avery got in. They both sat side by side in the back seat.

.....

“I haven’t been keeping up with the news, so I’m not sure what we’re going to look into,” Reed said.

After Reed got the car going, Avery told him what they had seen. Emy immediately looked through her phone and found it. started watching the video right away, and Reed listened. Devin just stared at Emy as he saw his reflection in the car window.

“Let’s visit the funeral home,” Reed said. “Before we head to their home.”

“Why a funeral home?” Avery asked.

“I just need to confirm something about the body,” Reed said.

Emy looked right away to see if she could find where the two bodies might have been taken to the morgue. She got in touch with the witness who was being interviewed by the media and the police and told him where the couple was taken.

When their car stopped in front of the morgue, they immediately got out. Devin looked at the public surveillance camera that was attached to a pole. He let out a cloud of black smoke and ran at it. Even the CCTV in other businesses nearby.

Reed opened the door, and the black smoke from his hand went right into the man’s ears. The man fell asleep. They went straight into a room and saw two dead bodies covered with a white sheet.

Jasmin had a firm grip on Avery’s arm, and Emy had Reed’s hand. Devin sided with Emy, which is why Emy was stuck between the two men. Reed, Devin, and Avery saw the souls of the two corpses. It is looking at them and trying to talk to them.

“Do not talk to them, Avery. Just ignore them.” Reed said.

Avery followed Reed’s instructions. She didn’t look at the two souls, even as they came up to her and whispered in her ear.

“Once you talk to them, they aren’t the only ones who will bother you. Every soul you see will.” Reed said.

“Wait...? Soul?” Jasmin asked, looking around.

Emy and Jasmin looked at each other. It seemed like they were the only ones who couldn’t see the soul that Reed was talking about. Avery grabbed the end of the cloth covering the dead person’s body right away. Reed was on another dead body, and they took off the cloth to reveal the body up to its stomach.
