The Crisis World XX

Chap. 12: The Truth

What are you really? Then the creatures that chased you earlier as well, why are they after you?"

Cecilia was silent for a moment and did not immediately answer my question. He saw my face and could see it for himself if my face was also serious about knowing that. He breathed because he had no other choice.

"Huh …. You finally asked me about it, huh?"

"Yes, I beg you. Tell me everything, for the good of everyone."

"I think you're right, maybe it's time to tell you the truth."

My serious conversation with Cecilia will finally begin. I will soon know exactly where this creature came from.

Ctiicks…

Before Cecilia spoke, she raised her hand and then flicked her finger. Suddenly this entire room was glowing, there was no darkness at all like before. It turned out that inside my mind was very empty and clean.

"This ... in my mind?"

"Yes, I'm sure you're not the only one like this. Almost every normal person has a room like this in his mind, it's just that they can't see it."

"So that's it."

Shying…

In addition to making this room bright, Cecilia also created two chairs from her aura that I could sit on as before. I remembered that I had created something like this against that big dog.

"You can also make things like this, right?"

"Hn?"

"At that time, the sword you made against the big dog ... Did you copy my technique?"

"Imitating? Not really, anyway."

"Eh? You're not imitating me?"

I'm shaking. "I didn't really know what to do then, just the hatred I felt back then. So I'm imagining something that can kill that thing quickly."

"Are you aware that you took my aura by force?"

"really?" I tilt my head confused.

"Eh …?"

Cecilia got confused because I didn't know anything. While I myself was also actually unaware that I was taking Cecilia's aura by force, all I knew at that moment was that I felt a bountiful aura from inside my body.

Instead of all of us getting confused, we ended up missing it for a while. What we want to talk about right now is something else. We both sat in that chair.

"Oh yeah, let's go through that first. You want to know who I really am and where I come from, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I can't remember clearly about it, so I can't tell you accurately."

"It's okay, information is information."

"Then I start with my kind. I am the race of The Spirit …."

"The Spirit?" muttered.

"Yes. In this world, the creatures you call monsters are divided into three types; The Spirit, The Unseen, and the other one is The Beast."

Then Cecilia continued to explain those types of monsters and I listened to them seriously. After a few minutes of listening to his explanation, I was able to draw the conclusion that the Beast race was the one that attacked humans the most.

The Beast is a monster that can resemble animals in general. But The Beast has a more complex and gruesome appearance than those animals, like the dog that attacked me back then. He has a bigger body size and a smarter brain.

The Unseen, The Unseen is an unseen monster. Ordinary people call it ghosts, demons, demons, and others. The Unseen is usually harmless to humans and only walks and flies around in this world. The Unseen already exists naturally due to natural energy that has long existed on this planet.

The Unseen can be dangerous because it belongs to someone and is controlled by its owner. The Unseen will do anything for someone who is already its master. In addition, The Unseen in general can only attack if he is in a state visible to the naked eye.

And the last one is The Spirit, this is a race from Cecilia. The Spirits could not live too long outside the body of their host, one could say that they were a parasite.

Whether they harm or not depends on the will of the Spirit itself, but it is only in some cases that one can control the host for a long period of time, for example in the case of Hasuki-san. But most of him only absorb the nutrients of his host then move when it is considered no longer suitable by him.

"I understand well now. In this way we can sort the most dangerous is The Beast, then The Spirit, then the last is The Unseen" I said.

"Hmm …? Think so?" ask Cecilia.

"Eh? Was wrong?"

"Geez you, is your brain really that simple, huh?" cecilia Eject.

"Oi! You're saying I'm such a fool?!"

"Have you forgotten that you just defeated one of them with my aura?"

Even though he was mocking me just now, but I think Cecilia has a point. I defeated one of The Beast's races with Cecilia's abilities as well as my new weapon. Cecilia said I imitated it but I didn't feel it.

Ziiing…

I re-formed the sword in my grasp. The process was much easier here than in the real world back then. The sword with this glittering greenish blade had a gap in its middle so it looked like two sword blades in one handle.

"You've been able to create it as you please now? Basic ... You're a real freak."

"Actually because I'm here the process gets easier, but on the outline I can already."

Shie…

The sword then slowly turned into particles which made it fade even longer and eventually disappear completely. After removing the sword, I spoke to Cecilia again.

"Cecilia, there's more I want to know."

"What's that?"

"Hear your story before, you were created somewhere, right? How did you escape from that place?"

"Ara ... I haven't told you about that, have I? All right listen to me carefully. But before that you should know one thing."

"What's that?"

"I am the strongest Spirit race that humans have ever created. Thousand—no, hundreds of thousands of Spirits were gathered and put together into one perfect being …."

"… You?"

I continued the hanging words. He was not bothered by it and my words made him nod and smile. I who found that fact was a little horrified until my hair goosebumps.

Such a powerful being, a combination of other powerful beings were currently inside my body. I thought he was originally a ghost or an ordinary demon, but it turned out that he was more than that.

My heart beats faster because of it. I held my chest and felt my heartbeat. But even so, I tried to calm down even though it could be seen a sweat of worry descending on my forehead.

"So .. so, huh?"

"Yes. Then can I start the story?"

"Please."

Cecilia then told him about how she had escaped from her previous place. The first memory he had was inside a large water tube that could hold his entire body inside. Then he could faintly hear the voices of many people who looked terrified, but there was also a laugh between them.

Cecilia's eyesight was still blurry and could not recognize the faces of everyone there, she only remembered that each of them was wearing a white lab coat.

Then a few months he was there, until he was able to stabilize his strength, with the carelessness of the guards in that place, he managed to get out by breaking a bulletproof glass made especially for him. Someone tried to catch his leg while jumping, but he attacked him until the hand that caught him was cut off and he was finally free.

Once free, he transforms himself into a ball of light the size of a ping pong ball. In his memory, he escaped from that place and flew away towards the west, then when he had reached his limit and returned to his human form, he was, the creatures from the previous place that were chasing Cecilia managed to find her and wanted to bring her back. And it was at that moment that my first meeting with Cecilia took place.

I heard something strange about Cecilia's story.

"Wait a minute, when I find you you're not inside the host. Isn't a Spirit like you unable to live outside the host?"

"You're not wrong, I'm the only one who can survive outside the host for a week, while the others can only last a day or less."

"…."

"One more thing, I want to ask you one more thing."

"What else?"

Braakh…

"Do you know who created you? Where is he at the moment? How far did you get from here?"

I quickly got up and approached Cecilia until the chair I was wearing dropped off, I was too curious to be able to control it. Even my distance with Cecilia got too close until she pulled her head back.

"Huh …."

He didn't answer my question and sighed. Then he lifted one finger in front of me and pointed it towards his left.

"Hmm …? There's ap—Gwaaakh!"

Kraakk…

Suddenly a big wind made me bounce and move away from Cecilia. It seems like he made all this so that he could only look at me and stand up from my seat. While I was hit by the big wind, trying to get up while checking my neck because I could hear it making a sound earlier.

"Can you calm down a little?" said it.

"Don't wear that, oi!"

"Hah .. My answer to all your questions was that I didn't know, I couldn't see her face because my vision was not stable. But I can feel his aura, that person is strong and terrible."

"Oh, yeah."

"But if you're talking about a terrible aura, you can meet him around here" Cecilia continued.

It seems like my and Cecilia's talk only got here. Almost all my questions have been answered by him, although there are still mysteries, anyway. I also intend to leave here immediately because I have been here long enough.

"Oh yes, Iraya. Do you want to get stronger?"

"Hn? Why are you suddenly asking like that?"

"To protect your mother, do you want to get stronger?"

She took out a 'my mother' card'. This one creature is indeed sneaky, making me want to not have to listen to it. Of course I want to get stronger.

"Do you have a way?" tanyaku seriously.

"You have to accept the offer. That's your first step."

"Offer?"

I'm trying to digest Cecilia's words. I was still confused by him who suddenly carried the word 'offer'. I looked at her smiling face and then understood what Cecilia meant.

"Don't …!"

I then walked out of this room, I will also meet the person who previously offered me to join him.

"Be careful, Iraya."

When I was in the real world, it turned out that I was still in my mother's care room. I then stood up from there and prepared to leave, while the sun had not yet set.

"I'll go first, Mom."

And now is the time, to be more serious in becoming stronger.

**

At this time I was in front of a cafe, a cafe that was not too foreign to me because I had visited it once, 'Haiiro Cafe'. I then went into it, inside it was not too crowded and there was always a woman who welcomed every customer with a friendly smile and a gentle smile.

"Welcome—kamu, right …."

He still seems to remember my face. Then it'll be a lot faster.

"Is the man well-dressed and his hair is limp?"

The woman was confused by the explanation I gave. But in the end he understood and allowed me to enter the Office Room that usually the person was in.

When I went inside, the atmosphere here was so quiet and quiet like there was no one. There is only a swivel chair facing backwards. I then closed the door of this room from the inside so that no one could hear our conversation from outside.

"You're here again?" said it.

It turns out the person I was looking for was right here. He was behind his big swivel chair so I couldn't see him just now, but right now I know that there's someone here. He also turned his chair and faced straight at me.

"I have a question for you" I said.

"Hoo .. I know you have business, but shouldn't you attach great importance to older people first?"

"Ah .. so-about that, I'm sorry."

I think he's right, I'm too rash right now. After the man invited me to sit down, the woman who greeted me in front brought us two glasses of tea. The awkward atmosphere attacked both of us because at the beginning I was disrespectful to him, lucky he understood that and started the conversation first.

"Your name?"

"I'm Satou Iraya."

"Satou-kun, I'm Murasaki Oita, the owner of this cafe. So, what do you want to ask? Please be slow and not in a hurry."

"I'm sorry if my question is strange, but do you know anything about the company that created these strange creatures? Or about the strange creatures that often appear on the news today?"

Gleck…

When I asked like that he—Murasaki-san did not immediately reply and chose to drink his tea first. After one gulp, he then moved the glass away from his mouth and answered my question.

"I know, about those creatures and the company as well" he replied.

"You knew? Then can—"

"If you know what you want then? Attacking him alone?" he cut my question.

"No. .. I just …."

"Whatever you are, attacking alone is reckless and stupid. Although I know, your power is not your own."

"You-you mean?"

"There is a power that is fused with you, your aura with something that is within you is very difficult to distinguish. But unfortunately I can feel something like that" he explained.

"…."

My eyes widen as he speaks like that. He knew the Cecilia hidden inside my body easily. What exactly do you think I should accept her offer, Cecilia?! This guy could easily kill me and get you out of my body.

My surprised face seemed to be clearly visible to him. He smiled and then resumed his conversation.

"Sorry, sorry ... Our conversation went off, so you want to know about the company, right? Of course I'll tell you, but unfortunately I'm not as good at telling you for free."

Of course there are things to pay for. There's no way people seem to give information for free to someone like me. The problem right now is whether or not I can meet his current requirements.

"What's that?"

"Join my organization, after that I'll tell you everything you want to know" he said.

Join him, yes. I had no other choice, if that was the only way to become strong and avenge my mother. Whatever I'm gonna do. I took a breath and said the answer with one breath.

"All right, I'm joining!" my spoken.

"Welcome to Black Rain."

He smiled at my answer. Something troublesome will definitely happen after this. Sure. I'll bet with that.
