H-22: ASSASSIN
H22A - 23
It's still raining outside.
Drystan was very angry to hear Erfrain's story, but on the other hand he also felt sad. "Since childhood Xylona never had friends, because she bullied her friends. When he entered High School, he had many friends. But, it's a pity that I have to move to this place and Xylona also moved to High School. He's getting bad treatment here too. Besides, if I hadn't come here, I probably wouldn't have watched my friends die."
Erfrain did not respond. He saw such great regret in Drystan's eyes.
"I need to get Xylona to the hospital, she needs immediate treatment." Drystan got up from his seat.
"No need to take her to the hospital. Xylona will soon be conscious. If you go out, you'll be in danger" Erfrain said.
To Drystan, Erfrain's remarks sounded like a threat. However, he thought that Erfrain was worried about him, because now was the 22nd where the killer was still hanging around. But, he felt that there was something strange about Erfrain. The man in front of him was nothing like Erfrain. He looks like a man of his age. Moreover, his way of speaking was also different from the Erfrain he knew.
Drystan looked at the man in front of him seriously. "Did I not see wrong? How can you defeat those wolves?"
Erfrain sillyly replied, "Maybe I'm just a little lucky."
"What kind of luck? You killed 8 wolves with just a knife. And... how can they disappear after death?" Drystan staring at Erfrain signaled he desperately needed an answer.
Not getting an answer, Drystan again asked, "If you can kill a wild animal easily, you should also be able to fight the people who have bullied you all this time. Why did you let them do that to you? You must have a reason."
Erfrain still remained silent giving no answer.
"Have you killed those bullies all this time?" Drystan straight to the core question.
Erfrain looked at Drystan seriously. "Why do you think that?"
"All the victims of AMRITA High School are people who like bullying, rape, corruption, and others. I think you killed them for that reason" Drystan explained.
Erfrain smiled faintly. "true."
What recognition Erfrain makes Drystan goosebumps. "You... Then you're inspired by someone who killed in the past the same way?"
Erfrain. "That's me too."
The deg!
Drystan freezes.
"I killed them all from the beginning of this village was built. Even long before that, I've killed."
Drystan shut his mouth. "W-How can that be? I can't believe it. Let's just say the dates of his murder."
"Every 22nd of every month, I don't remember the month and the year, because I never counted them, didn't you know about them, too" Drystan replied without burden.
Drystan took notes and started writing. "I can't believe you're saying it this casually. Besides, I'm older than you, call me brother."
Erfrain. "I don't want to, for me you're a baby."
Drystan was annoyed, but he immediately asked another question without fearing that he would be the next victim. "Are you a time traveler?"
Erfrain asked back, "Aren't you afraid that you'll be the next victim? Today has entered the 22nd since 3 hours ago."
Drystan turned to Xylona and then looked back at Erfrain. "I'm going to arrest you and put you in jail. You won't be able to kill me."
"My friends die in front of me, I will not waste their sacrifice. Besides, it's my duty as a cop." Drystan's gaze was fixed on the 3 body bags in the room.
Erfrain let out a long breath. "Alright, after you interrogate me, we fight here to determine who dies. I don't want to give myself up to you, but already caught, I'd better tell you everything."
Drystan accepts that. "You said you were the same person who killed the victims since the village was built. So, are you a time traveler, or what?"
"I'm not a time traveler."
Drystan asked another question, "How old are you?"
"My age is the same as the age of the ring you find on every victim's finger."
Both eyes of Drystan are rounded. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead. "Are you human?"
Suddenly all the glass in the house broke for no reason, including a giant mirror in the family room. Drystan covered his ears which suddenly heard a buzzing sound. A shadow came through the window with a sword in his hand.
Erfrain saw the black-robed man teleporting towards Xylona who was lying on the bed. Seeing Xylona in danger, Erfrain protects Xylona by bending over to block Xylona from the man.
Krassshh!
The man's sword injured Erfrain's back until his blood splashed onto Xylona's face.
He quickly teleported to Drystan. Erfrain jumped up and threw his knife, but this time he was late. In a single slash, Drystan's body split into two.
Blood flooded the room. The knife Erfrain had thrown turned into a sword and stuck it in the man's chest. Black colored blood flowed from his chest.
Erfrain stared pushyly at Drystan's body.
The black-robed man pulled Erfrain's sword from his chest. Within seconds, his wound slowly disappeared. He looked at the wound on Erfrain's back that was still bleeding.
"Are you really human now? It's so sad, your wounds don't heal right away signifies your instincts as a human being is reacting" the man said.
Erfrain stared intently at the man. "Are you crazy? You killed an innocent human being. You'll be punished for that, Edgar."
"I don't care, you start first. How can you have feelings for a human being?" Ask the man named Edgar.
"Go back to Athanasia and fulfill your punishment!" Erfrain's orders.
"I'm not coming back unless you come with me!" Edgar said with great emphasis.
Erfrain did not give an answer. She heard Xylona's grimacing voice. He turned to look at Xylona who slowly opened her eyes. Erfrain gave the instructions for Edgar to leave immediately.
The man snorted in annoyance then disappeared.
