Lost Angel

Chapter 6: Taste

That night Zoe couldn't sleep, he stood in front of Finn's bed as if to wake him up asking him the contents of the letter and who sent him the present to the camp. But he just stood there in the dim light of the night light installed in the ceiling in case someone wanted to go to the bathroom at night. Jill appeared next to Zoe again, whispering gentle words as if to arouse curiosity in Zoe's head.

“Unfortunately, I also want to know who the person who sent you the gift is, that person must be a good person, possibly also has something to do with your parents and you too, in the letter. I'm sure that person made it clear to you, but that damn Finn…”

Zoe didn't answer and turned to go back to her bed, Jill tried her best to babble in his ear, purposely making Zoe think of the letter and the mysterious person. Finally, Zoe could not bear the curiosity and frustration in his heart, he wanted to know who that person was? Why care about him and not go to the reformatory once so he can meet face to face.

"Stop talking, I can't get Finn up from the bed to ask him about the letter, he'll have his juniors beat me to death, forget it."

Jill hovered around Zoe, "If I had a way to help you, would you do it?"

Zoe's eyes widened with urgency at the transparent soul in front of her, "How?"

“You use your power to suck my soul into your body, then my hand will be placed on Finn's forehead, the soul will also enter its memory region, at that time even the smallest secret that Finn wants to hide what is seen from me, and of course, you will also see what is in the letter that Finn reads.”

Zoe hesitated, but the name Neil on the only remaining slip of paper made him anxious to know the ultimate content of what was written, and who that Neil was. Zoe looked at Jill and reluctantly nodded at it, Jill smiled an unsightly smile. Zoe began to close his eyes and tightly clenched fists, in the final moment his whole body was like a five-hundred ingot with a force of attraction pulling Jill's soul towards him. When Zoe pulled his head down, it was Jill who raised his head with red eyes and a mischievous smirk. Jill walked over to the side of the bed where Finn was sleeping soundly, he put his hand on Finn's as well, but instead of doing what he said and entering the same memory, he tried to use Zoe's power to suck Finn's soul out of Finn's soul. Body, it's easier to say it's trying to kill Finn. Jill tricked Zoe and he is currently being controlled by a vicious demon to kill people. Zoe's hand bit by bit grabbed the last life out of Finn's body. After finishing, Jill smiled proudly, the taste this time was wonderful, did not wait for the soul to leave the body, but it was directly absorbed, so he fully enjoyed the warm breath of life. overflow of victims. Jill reached out to pull the blanket over Finn's already stiff body, and he deliberately adjusted the corner of the blanket carefully as if he was afraid that the sleeping person would kick the blanket on the floor. When he was done he walked over to the bed where Zoe used to sleep and lay down. It came out of him and disappeared into thin air, leaving Zoe alone in a state of lethargy as if he had been sucked in by some force, he closed his eyes and slept like death until morning the next day.

As a result, Zoe's special ability was once again used, but the user was Jill, not Zoe, clearly used without the insiders knowing. When Zoe woke up because he heard whispers around him, it was like waking up from a nightmare but not remembering anything about that nightmare. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at all the people in the bedroom, and he discovered that there were a lot of people gathered to see something, including prison guards and medical staff. Zoe sat up with her hands on her hands and was a bit confused as to why the medical staff had come here, maybe someone was beaten last night without him knowing. And where everyone was watching was Finn's bed, Zoe panicked, what did he and Jill do to Finn last night...

Zoe slowly got off the bed and went to take a look, he stood behind a group of children and then poked his head out to look at the medical staff who were checking and cleaning up the surrounding area. The person lying on the bed was covered with a white cloth, but Zoe knew who it was, he didn't dare to look further and turned to go to the bathroom.

He determined that there was no one inside, so he quickly called out in a low voice, Zoe did not dare to raise his voice for fear of people outside hearing, “Jill… Jill, are you here, Jill… Jill, I have something to say. ”

"Hi Zoe, good morning, what's wrong with me?"

Over by the sink, Jill poked her head out of the mirror and waved at Zoe, and then hid again, looking like a person's reflection in front of a mirror.

Zoe stood in front of Jill, he looked at the person in the mirror as if he saw his own shadow dark and blurry, but in return, the person inside the mirror was extremely innocent as if he had just woken up and smiled at him, Zoe lowered he head sullenly, "Finn's dead."

"Finn what?" Jill asked back with a look of surprise and bewilderment, then exited the mirror and stood in front of Zoe.

“Since when did it die? But why die?"

"I don't know, this morning woke up to see everyone around his bed, including medical staff and prison guards, although the person lying on the bed was covered with a white cloth, I know for sure it was Finn."

After saying that, Zoe looked up at Jill with a bit of suspicion, "Don't you know anything, you've always been the one who knows all the big and small things in this prison."

"It's not like I know anything." Jill slowly passed in front of Zoe as if to avoid his gaze, then stopped and shrugged, "Last night my soul was weak, so after I escaped your body I flew here and got in. in the mirror… To rest.”

"So did you see anything in Finn's memory?" Zoe impatiently asked Jill, because he couldn't see anything and the contents of the letter were the same as what Jill had said earlier.

Jill hesitated, then mumbled, "Sorry Zoe, I thought I'd be able to get into Finn's memories but I don't, my soul powers are too weak to see anything… If only I could see... Well, you can see it too. That's why my soul is so weak after coming out."

Jill's white face appeared in front of Zoe's eyes and then immediately turned away from his sight in no sign of weakness, but if it had been deliberately not telling the truth, there was nothing Zoe could do. Frustrated, he went to turn on the faucet to wash his face to wake up, then he went back to the dormitory room, now no one was left, not even Finn's body and his daily personal belongings as well. all taken away. A bell rang signaling breakfast time had come, Zoe was not in the mood to eat anything but he still went straight to the dining room, because in his heart he suspected Jill was lying, so he wanted to ask. about Finn's death through the kids who discovered the body first. As he sat down with the tray of food, he heard the kids at the next table talking and eating, about Finn's death, of course.

"It's also strange to think, why would you die so unreasonable?"

The child next to him sighed, "Sometimes he often bullies others, so when he is fast asleep, he presses his head on the pillow and suffocates to death."

“The medical staff said there were no signs of external force leading to death, and Finn often buried his head in the pillow when he slept, if someone pressed his head, would he lie still? It will struggle to wake up the whole bedroom. So knowing Finn it's strong, who can do that to it?"

“Then it can only be a ghost.”

"Don't talk nonsense to scare us."

Zoe sitting behind couldn't help but turn his head and ask in a low voice, "So who in the bedroom found Finn dead?"

“Who dares to wake it up? Unfortunately, it beats for a match.” One of them said, "The warden came to check on him in the morning, when he went to Finn's bed he found it strange because his face was pale and his eyes were open, he went over to check it out and found him dead. Then he called the medical staff to come down and see.”

Normally, unless it is a person with severe heart or lung disease, there is a risk of sudden death during sleep, but a very healthy Finn cannot suddenly die from suffocation and die, but his eyes are closed. wide open, but that's what happened.

Because having this kind of thing happen in a place like a detention center makes the kids in the dormitory room feel a bit creepy for a few days, many of them are scared to sleep at night, because Finn's deaths are real. very thrilling. But with Zoe, he knew who killed Finn, although he didn't know what Jill's reason for the killing was, he would never be fooled by it again.
