The guy then wrenching the rumpled black bat out from Tori's grip, that the motion of it put the latter back to meet the wall harshly with a thumping sound, that for a moment almost send his consciousness out, leaving his body.

*Coough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

Coughing in fit raucously from the hit that almost broke his back, he then looked at the guy in its white coat that now standing with his back facing him.

With body that confused him of how it feels gooey and wobbly since he found the present of the man in front of him, he somehow could feel towering presence that made him like an emmet who could die by a slight step, which drowned him in a very unpleasant feeling that feels bitter on the back of his tongue.

The man then throw the bat to the side that raspingly clanging with the floor, while turning his body and face against him.

*Clank* *Clank*

*Clank*

Somehow Tori could feel the gaze from its empty eye sockets that clinging tightly on his courage that he couldn't denied that it started to diminished, bit by bit whittled away. But he quickly slapped it to the side, then glared at the guy that made the latter narrowing his eyes, seemingly find the former amusing.

"Hihihi… Such a big nerve." He said with his damp light voice that feels young, but put spine chilling sensation on Tori's heart.

Not done yet with all of it.

Suddenly on his ear, there's something that keep rustling closer and closer catching his eardrums off the guard and once again put his tension, rigidly ice-cold.

It getting closer and closer, coming from the left side of his.

Its like there's multiple people slithering, taking their leg to sketched tightly against the floor that put Tori subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

*Sliitthh*

*Sliitthhh*

*Slitthhh*

"Its not the time yet. Dinner would be served after were done here." Said the man surprisingly with its soft, pleasant and a somewhat voice that contained pampering sentiment inside of it, who gazed to the side of Tori that now feel even more sandy.

After he said that, there's guttural sounds of dehydrated humans, following shortly with screeching voice that made Tori dizzy and almost lost his grip on the weapon he anytime now would put to use.

*Rrrararr*

*Rrraaaar*

*AAAAAAAaAaa*

While the sound of that things that now slithered slowly, retreating away reluctantly from him. And the chilling presence that getting closer now started to putting distance, he then sighed with relieve.

"What are you sighed for? Trust me! My babies are going to just ripped you alive without much pain… But me… Hehehehe" Tori shivered hearing that.

Somehow could seen passed the mask that hide his expression, and then seeing a smile that seems horrid but also itchy to sliced open his body, while making sure to make him still alive.

But, from all of the air circumstances that now smothering him harder and harder to the ground.

He…

He somewhat finding himself smiling which the guy seems could feel Tori's emotions and expressions beneath his mask.

"Oh,,, Peculiar. You seem enjoying the tensions when waiting for dead, eh." He said, while lifted his left eyebrows slightly.

Sitting on the dirty floor with body that feels sandy, he waited for a chance to counter that he finally found.

Like a gecko that waiting for its chance to prey on its meal, Tori then throws the three triangle devices* to the directions of the slithering sounds and the blue beast that breathing silently on the side.

He then pointed the Revolver that called Iron Harrow* to the man's head in white coat.

*Szzzzztttt*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Szzzzzttt*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Graaaaaa*

*Rrraaaar*

*Bang*

*Bang*

But…

Tori's find himself horrified which put himself bluer and bluer.

'What the hell is he?'

With each shot of the gun, he found himself freaked out of his mind seeing how the guy in front of him just tilted his head slightly backward. Again and again until...

*Click*

*Click*

He then awkwardly clicking the gun that now chambers are empty, while agape seeing the bullet didn't do any damage to the man who now tilted his neck slowly and slickly, trying to putting his head back facing Tori direction.

*Clank*

Then something like an orb that color are black clankedly hitting on the floor, rolling to the side of the man's feet, that soon buzzing like a bee, producing the smokes that filled the place where he and Tori now standing, that even put the blue beast roaring angrily.

*Bssszzzz*

*Pssssssshhhh*

*Groarrr*

Tori then used the distraction of the grey smoke to running to the side, but…

"Sigh."

Then a hand suddenly breaking through the smoke, that easily grabbed the face of Tori.

It was the man in the white coat with some smoke that sizzling on his forehead from the friction of the bullets.

He then lifted Tori easily like a mouse on the mercy of a cat…

… …

More Info added with few things that I seemingly forgot:

*The triangle devices called Tinkle Bell, because of how it always tinkled like the old Triangle dinner bell when it fell on the floor, showing its ringing sound that quite loud to the ear and put a lot of attention to it. Of course. It looks cool and pleasant to the ear until it showing its magic, by blitzing its way with its sizzling blue string ray that electrocuted anyone that unluckily still on its area of effect. What Tori or we know as Gavin used is the new models that sound already muffled a lot by mixed it with some silvery materials that feels like luffy. Hehehe, I mean like rubbers (This is Fantasy, so yeah… I prepared some materials and put it inside the story. Heheh. There's also real material in world now like elastomer for metal rubber and silicone rubber. Thanks to those Chemists and Engineers which I wish to sincerely thank them.)

Tinkle Bell rarely used by the Main Groups of Justice Enforcers, even though the sounds had already muffled because of how some of those known black organizations that they used to handle could reactively jumping to the side, which reduce the victims of the blue electric. Though that's not the main reasons.

*Iron Harrow is a... a... Revolver. Well, just the name that sounds fancy, but it practically just a regular seven chamber revolver. The image are basically like this.

    … Apparently, the smokes doesn't even hinder him to find Tori who trying to running away. After gripping Tori right on his masked face, the guy then lifted him up above, leaving Tori's feet up above the ground. Doesn't wanted to gave up yet, he took another two Torpefied Ring from the bag, holding it with both of his hands, while it sizzling with the blue electric strings. *Pzzzztzt* Tori then directed it to the hands of the man in white coat, very well aware that his mask will prevent the electric current to paralyzed him too, which will become a nice sweet chance for him to running from the current situation he's in right now. *Clack* The ring then fastened on the manvs wrist. Indeed, true to his expectations, the man that holding his face soon started to stiffened, though there doesn't seems to any reaction that made him look like electrocuted, just like what he used on the man in black, but nevertheless, it worked anyway.

    ... April 13, 3006 This may all be just a coincidence. That's the conclusion that crossed my mind at first. But the fact is that at midnight last night, at 11:56 to be exact, the five of us somehow ended up at the cemetery, because of this darned Rick of ours. The night before we were at the graveyard, Rick invited the four of us to a restaurant. I was really surprised at how terrible, gloomy and wretched he looked. Three days absent out of school, he looks like he's been sucked by something. Rick told us about his nightmare, then kept begging us to keep him company. In short, he was haunted by a creature that looked like him, but with pale white skin and a smile so wide it ripped his cheeks to bleed. The ghost kept talking to Rick face to face, with its loud creepy whisper. Trying to say something secret, but insisted to voiced it out louder. It told him about various vicious and gruesome things like, they ran when I only killed few among them, she cried, beg, screamed agoni

    ... Still Gavin POV* … As far as I can remember, Peter was somehow always able to predict lot of unexpected things like accidents. Meanwhile, I can only stand still, unable to feel anything. He had an amazing feeling when something bad was about to happen. This managed to leave me speechless, seeing how objectively unreasonable it was. Peter is also the only friend I'm really close with. I myself don't like having relationships with other people, in a sense which is a bit odd for some reason. I just wanted to be left alone. And often that desire gets me really into a lot of trouble, because I can't even ask other people for help. Apart from all that, then I met Peter as someone who I think or you could say my initial assumption is someone who is quite annoying, but sometimes or more often than not, I can't deny that his opinion is somewhat reasonable. As much as I keep myself busy with everything I delve and learn. I came to the conclusion, that life is about how much valu

"Continue." Said Nilfour. "… Okay." Peter replied. "When Rick drove us there, he was still in the same state. When we got there, there was indeed odd mist in the cemetery that i saw. But, about the black tombstone. I. ummm." Peter glanced at the silent Gavin, listening to what he had to say. Despite the things that Gavin doesn't believe in, along with all of his conjecture and theory, he is someone who tends to listen, and argues in his thoughts until he is very sure of the series of words he composes and arranges in such a way, only to often pass the time the conversations of

While the maggots also have many irregularities with their pale pink color. And if observed closely, the maggots were also larger than what's in general, along with sharp teeth adorning the part that could be guessed as the head. The Mourning Templar also didn't wear the iron helmet that was supposed to be part of its armor. All that was revealed was a decayed head, melted eyes and loose wrinkled skin with few hairs stuck by some slush. Teared rotten flesh on its cheek also revealed brownish yellow teeth and dried blood. The rest of the body was basically pasty and rotten like a corpse should be, but had a lot of flesh missing or in the verge of falling off, including an

Okay, okay." Peter replied, slightly confused.While Gavin remained silent in place, staring at the red cloth tied on the homeless man wrist.There was a cut that separated the cloth into three, at one of the knots sticking out.There is also a tattoo on his forearm, which is in the form of a snake with 2 pair of wings facing opposite sides, and two heads on each side, with no rear end.Shortly after examining the arm, Gavin then kicked the bum on his folded leg.Even though it wasn't strong, it was enough nonetheless to make the bum startled, then woke up from his sleep."What?
