"That demon, what’s his rank?" Trevor asked softly with his gaze still fixed on the television."He’s first ranked," Revel answered swiftly. Revel remembered Crimson from the demon meeting.******"I must ask Stanley, based on what you said, does that mean you also wanted to kill yourself?" The reporter asked."No, I wasn’t into that idea at all; I was just an ordinary grade school student. I always got along fine with the students in class, at lunch, and even at recess. One thing though, I was part of the second-class group of students who didn’t have phones," Stanley narrated with a furrowed brow.He went on to explain that he got along with people at the school, but he didn’t have close friends and that everyone was busy doing their own thing. His parents both worked all day, and he would be at home alone until about 8 p.m. in the night, and after a while of watching TV and playing video games, he didn’t enjoy all those things anymore. He started to feel lonely, and one night when
Meanwhile in Brianna’s living room"This is insane," Trevor said softly."It’s a child's solution, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea," Mordecai replied from behind Trevor."It’s usually a trap when someone says to come forward," Revel argued.Back at Stanley's vantage point, he flew forward, towards the camera."We should get as many people as possible to go out there and look for those devil candidates and identify them; we need to choose the next devil candidate soon, otherwise who knows what could happen?" Stanley spoke softly.Trevor and Brianna gasped. "So the hunt for devil candidates has begun," Trevor murmured."This is unexpected; it sounds like this boy wants you to become the devil king," Brianna said softly."If all the remaining devil candidates get together and nominate Trevor, is the process over?" She inquired as she turned to look at Revel."It’s necessary to have everyone’s support; it’s essential for the candidate to want to become the devil king, and of course, you
I don’t want to fight anymore; I want to live a simple life with you, just the two of us together forever; nothing would make me happier than that," she stated as she hugged Trevor tightly and looked into his eyes.Trevor grabbed her hands and said, "I’m sorry, we can’t run away. Mr. Kevin has been on my mind a lot. I’ve been thinking about what he would have done in this situation; he wouldn’t run, so I won’t run either. I will stand up and live my life. I’m not certain about it yet, but I have a feeling happiness lies down that path."Since we have never appeared out of costume, nobody would be able to tell who we are from those images that are circulating the internet. We can attend classes just like we always did; no one will ever suspect a thing," Trevor explained, staring into her eyes.Brianna nodded in agreement with everything he said. "Sounds good; we will do whatever you say,"********************Two weeks later,Trevor was walking down the street, heading home; he was car
"Why should we help you? I mean, think about it; we have no way of knowing if you really intend to protect these people," Trevor said calmly."I will say it again: investigators and spies from every country in the world are coming for you, especially you, and do you want to know why?" Henry inquired.Trevor’s eyes opened wide; he was staring at Henry with a side-eye."Because so far, red is the only one confirmed to have a purple arrow, and with that kind of power, all manner of scenarios become possible. You are a lethal weapon, the world’s greatest assassin," Henry explained."You are a much more attractive option than nuclear weapons, and that’s why everyone wants to find you. The power to kill people with the flick of your wrist could cause a global crisis; I want to prevent that; if you are captured, it’s over; some countries would think of brainwashing you and then turning you into a robotic killing machine, and this country would too, believe it or not," Henry explained while s
"Even so, I wouldn’t be too worried, sir," Henry said."Huh?" John raised an eyebrow with his mouth wide open."None of these people are targeting government officials," Henry answered. After meeting red and yellow, Henry knew that they were genuine people and that they were not a threat to society, so he wanted to assure John that he shouldn’t be too worried about red and yellow.*******Henry and Racheal were working down the hallway, heading out of the FBI building, and Racheal was walking behind him."That was a very plausible-sounding excuse you came up with," Henry said calmly."I cannot allow Mrs. Brianna to be placed in harm's way," Racheal answered. Hearing this, Henry turned and looked at her with a side-eye as they kept walking.I've never seen such a look in Rachael's eyes before; this is the power of the devil candidates; no wonder they're such targets; such ability shouldn't exist unchecked. Nobody should be allowed to acquire it, Henry thought as he focused his gaze in
"This is the lady that was captured recently. She was the first candidate to surface after Stanley’s statement was broadcast; her name is Lily Greene, and she’s an unemployed 23-year-old woman," Henry explained."There are a few more devil candidates that haven’t been located yet; I wonder who they are," Trevor replied."We will begin searching for them tomorrow morning," Henry said boldly.Brianna then pointed at a man’s picture on the computer screen. "What do you know about this person Mr. Henry?" She inquired softly."Mitch Ross, there was a tweet tagged with the hashtag "devil candidate" that said he suddenly acquired a cute girlfriend; that’s not unusual, but it is interesting that he was Chris Tanner’s course mate and took the same classes with him." Henry answered calmly."Right," Brianna mumbled.Everyone was just listening to what Henry was explaining without saying anything. They were all paying attention to the computer screen.Then Henry brought out another document that
Trevor and Brianna removed their hoodies from their heads."I’m glad you guys are here; you can eliminate us whenever you are ready; use your purple arrow on me and my brother, or you can even use your red arrow," the boy said softly. Trevor and Brianna were quiet as they listened to what the boy was saying.The boy brought out a red arrow from his right hand and raised it up. "These red arrows are interesting, aren’t they? If you use one of them to shoot somebody who is reluctant to kill themselves and you tell them to go ahead and do it, they will instantly kill themselves. They are wish-granting arrows of hope; it simply depends on how much that person wants to die," the boy explained softly with a sad look in his eyes.He started explaining how he used his red arrow to make his grandfather, father, and mother all commit suicide because they had already lost hope to live; they all killed themselves."Ever since I saw that if people genuinely want to die but can’t do it, I shoot the
"You are under FBI protection; you have to try and be patient," Lucifer III said calmly. He was hovering behind Lily; he was her demon.Lily swiftly turns around to look at Lucifer. "You are the one who told me to get taken into custody!" She yelled at Lucifer."The search for all the devil candidates is picking up speed; it’s better than being hunted down and killed," Lucifer replied calmly. Lucifer III was the one who suggested Lily turn herself in to the FBI so that she could get protection, because if she didn't, the other nations looking for devil candidates might kill her while looking for her. She agreed and turned herself in, but now she regrets her decision.***********************Meanwhile, back at Henry and Racheal’s hideoutThere were all still sitting down in the living room,"There are just five candidates we haven’t identified yet, and three of them have special ranking demons?" Henry asked as he raised his head and looked at Trevor."That's right," Trevor said, noddin
