Chapter 52 The Disaster

Black Cross hideout. Sal is standing near Dark Prince"s who has just come back a few minutes ago. After clearing all the mess on his working table, Dark Prince sits down and starts looking at Sal with rather serious eyes. "Mind explaining what are you trying to do just now at the Gospeler ritual Hall?" He asked Sal with a really cold voice. "I"m sorry, the situation is too dire for me to..." "Stop. I would not accept this irresponsible excuse. Do you realize how dangerous it is? Or am I not trustworthy enough for you?" Dark Prince raises his voice a bit after hearing Sal"s response, still as cold as always but Sal can clearly feel his anger as it seems like some fire burning in his eyes, while that scar above his right eye looks deeper than usual. "My deepest apologies, I shouldn"t have even trying to do that." "Indeed you shouldn"t, I hope you haven"t forgotten about that incident." Hearing this question while facing Dark Prince"s angry face, Sal can"t find any strength or courage to answer it, he lowers down his head, to avoid eye contact with Dark Prince. "Well, I"ll just get this pa.s.s as nothing bad happens... *sigh*... Anyway, we need to be extra cautious this few days." "Did anything happens?" "Number 4 is back." said Dark Prince. This "Number 4 is back." put Sal into a great shock that put him back into an unpleasant memory...

Many years ago, in a dark and humid prison cell, there"s a teenage boy who is chained up on a slightly decayed cross, his head is cover with a heavy iron mask that prevents him from making any noise as well as stopping him from eating anything. Around him are countless of exorcist equipment with four priests surrounded him and chanting prayers non stop. He doesn"t remember how long has he been chained in that prison, he has no name, no friends and family. He only remembers the thing he had done which put him into his current condition. He was in an orphanage house years ago before he suddenly loses control and killed everyone in the orphanage house. He was said to be possessed by a very strong demon, but in fact, he is not, only the boy himself knows that there isn"t any demon inside him because he himself is the demon.

He remembered clearly how he killed everyone in the orphanage. That day he gets irritated by the laughter and happiness from all of the kids then he covers the whole area with pure darkness, and when the darkness finally faded, all the living beings in the whole area had become badly mutilated corpses, the boy, however, did not show any signs of fear. Yes, he has already gotten used to his "special ability", this is not the first he did something like this although he didn"t really mean to kill them but he still did it...

They have been chaining and locking him for years trying to "exorcise" the demon inside him, he who is already numb to this "life" never thought that there is a day he could get out of the cell. That day a man wearing a masquerade mask walk in, everyone bow when seeing him. The boy can"t remember the detail but he remembers those words from the man. "Whether or not there is a demon inside of him, or even if he is a demon, I shall determine it by myself, and I will bear the full responsibility if anything actually happens." Then the man gets near to the boy, putting his hand on the boy"s forehead, the boy loses his consciousness.

When the boy finally awake, the first thing that gets into his eyes is the cutest face he had ever seen, it"s a little girl with double pony tails, looks approximately 10 years old...
