《the guardian of obsessions》 Chapter 1 : The old hut next to the cemetery Ouch!... What was that!?... What a headache!!... Ethan felt that the world was collapsing, with darkness, confusion, and a strange headache, as if there were church bells in his head and banging!!! , he calls out, it has surrounded Etan. Ethan felt his body shaking bit by bit. In addition to headaches , there is something mysterious and terrifying, a strange cold sensation mysteriously moving from his left hand straight to his heart, And his whole body is wrapped in a curtain full of ominous feelings. Despite the confusion and pain and other complex emotions, he still mustered his available strength to try to control his body parts. He slowly tried to move them, but it seemed that none of them, according to their original settings, had the intention of obeying Ethan O''s main command center... Wow!... I can finally think a little, what a fu****g headache... Well... it shouldn''t be sleep because from what I''ve heard, people don''t feel pain when they''re asleep... Now that Ethan had regained his ability to think, he mobilized all his efforts to get rid of this strange darkness and cold. This coldness, its feeling is not like going out in the air below zero degrees Celsius, but like the human body itself turning the ambient temperature into negative. Anyway, Ethan should focus on his body adjustments for now... focus... It was as if all the lectures he had heard in his life about hard work and effort to achieve success were finally showing their fruits after a long period of fruitlessness... Ethan was finally able to take control of his body after an unknown period of effort. His vision went from black to gray and then back to normal with an unfamiliar ceiling. The roof was made of wood, not wood for the facade, because in the middle you come across a wooden column, you can clearly see the passage of years on the roof, and we can also see water marks and cracks that prevent the roof from fulfilling its main responsibility. On the left side of the old hut, there was a fireplace and a chair in front of the fireplace, and next to the fireplace were some old chests with some books on top of them... In front, there was a kitchen, or in fact, a room trying to pretend to be a kitchen. There is an old door on the right side, with the wooden bed and the study table to the south that Ethan is currently sitting on, it qualifies as an old cottage away from the standard civilized society... hisssss... Another attack of extreme cold to Etan''s heart, this time in addition to the cold, there was also a pain as if a needle was going into the heart, it changed Etan''s thoughts from confusion to clear and accurate thoughts. Ethan turned his attention to its source, his left hand. At first, the different appearance of his left hand did not attract his attention, but the spider mark with a long sickle on the back of his palm created a sense of curiosity, confusion, and a little fear in Ethan. When Ethan first looked at it he was a little scared and thought that the image was real, the chilling presence that Ethan felt from it not only did not disprove this theory but also added a more terrifying aspect to it, but after a while that no special movement was made, with a closer look, Ethan noticed that it was just a tattoo... Ethan tried to regain his composure by meditating a bit or pretending to do it and assess the situation correctly... Ethan always used to calm his mind by pretending to meditate, but due to the lack of specialized training or the effort to search for it, it became just a pretense. Anyway, Ethan, after pretending a bit to prove the theory of imitation to do things while the doer does not accept that it is imitation or is convinced of its correctness, leads to the conclusion... Ethan''s thoughts became clear. Ethan slowly regained control of his body, or whatever he was in now, and began to assess his situation. First, the hands and feet, the clothes, and the environment are unfamiliar... Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Second, the memories of the last place Ethan was before here are unclear... Third, the mysterious coldness has turned into a spinning needle marching into the heart... As Ethan''s thoughts became clearer, Ethan''s mind began to analyze the incoming data, and little by little, after less than a cup of tea... The doubt and confusion of the unfamiliar environment and the lack of memories of the last place, despite the clarity of thought along with a mysterious coldness in the heart, a deep and dark fear accompanied by shivering filled Etan''s being. It seems that the combination of fear and pain caused a mental shock in Ethan''s head, and then little by little pieces of memories hit his head like the blades of thousands of swords, the contents of which made Ethan''s fear even deeper... The memories were completely unfamiliar, or rather, in fact, they didn''t even belong in your world... The memories weren''t complete, they were just a little bit of everything, and they were hacked into an unforgettable movie in Ethan''s mind, as if this movie wasn''t just a movie, but Ethan''s own experience, of course, it still exists. A curtain that creates new memories with original memories. apart from each other The memoirs show a young boy with the same name as Ethan living in an empire that is similar in time to the Victorian era, but not on Earth, as the style is a little fantasy, well more than a little actually, in his world of power. There are exceptions such as sword and sorcery. anyway... Ethan was an orphan, that is, he had the default life of the protagonist, but he did not have the luck of the protagonist which led to living in this old hut... Speaking of the hut, this hut is not only old and dilapidated, it is also located near a cemetery for the poor neighborhood... In the distance of a few miles, there are only Ethan and the old man in charge of the cemetery, Ethan did not interact much with the old man, or rather he said that he tried to maintain a certain distance with him... Ethan was indeed an orphan and in this dangerous and violent world he was struggling hard for a place to survive, but anyway, Ethan was still a teenager, let alone a teenager, even adult or elderly men have a certain distance. They protect them from people who are constantly in contact with the dead Anyway... Well, other things about this boy, he lost his parents when he was young so there was no memory of them, nor did his parents have the wealth or other relatives to be able or willing to take care of Ethan. . So Ethan grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, maybe because of his calm nature, maybe because of the good education of his parents, unlike other people in the orphanage who were drawn to black jobs, he did not get involved with them, in addition to his elementary education Free of charge, the church began to study with some books that were in the orphanage without the necessary educational aids. . As if God rewards Ethan for his hard work, Ethan''s efforts paid off. He won the top rank in the entrance exam of the local academy in his city, and even his talent was recognized by one of the academy professors who hired him as his assistant. took . Well, the question may arise here, if he is talented, why did he study only in a local academy in a small town, well, in answer, Ethan was indeed talented, but he did not have an academic education and a standard to compare with his peers, and also enough money for He did not travel to big cities and participate in their exams . anyway... Question: Why does a top student from the academy live here? Answer: Well, the top student of the academy or even the assistant professor has no salary, that is, because of money, actually it is better to say because of lack of money, well, this is a world based on magic and Etan has very little talent in magic and that''s why No one bothers to support a weak and poor ant like him . Well... hmmmmmm, and another thing is that because he is a member of the lower class of society, but despite that he dared to get the top rank, he was rejected by the academy''s circle of students and only by doing some small tasks in With the advice of his teacher, the academy was able to save him from bullying and pay for a place to live and food to eat, as well as the cost of pen and paper and other necessary equipment. Anyway, Eitan has now graduated from the academy and is preparing for the national recruitment exam. How in a fantasy world based on magic, which is the basis of the country''s politics based on aristocracy and power, can there be something democratic like a national recruitment exam!? Well, in answer: the empire that Etan lives in, like all empires throughout history, has a stubborn rival... Historical fact: the best way to unite people is hatred... Anyway, hmmmm, well there''s another rival, only that one is based on another continent, and naturally a powerful enemy up close is more frightening than one far away. . Anyway, the rival empire, unlike the empire that Ethan lives in, instead of the nobles at the center of the country''s power, powerful people, well, actually magicians and other powerful experts are at the core of power, although their nobles also have special privileges. They are exploitative. And after that, hmm... Well, as I said, the rival empire also has nobles, only the nobles are not in the central core of the government, just as the empire where Ethan lives has non-aristocratic specialists, but they are not in the central core of power, of course they also have some privileges. . However, it seems that this amount of points was not enough to attract the opinion of experts from all over the world to compete with the rival empire, and naturally, it was not possible to increase the points without cutting off the interest of others, and considering the great influence and power of the nobles of Taghriba, it was impossible. . For this reason, the empire used plans or calculations such as the recruitment test and the alliance with the Church of Light, as well as the creation of a lower house alongside the upper house to secretly or compromisely give more privileges to non-aristocratic talents. Anyway, that was a summary of the understandable part of the received memory... When Ethan came out of the fusion mode, he thought deeply: transmission... a fairy-tale fantasy that has strangely reached its peak of popularity in the age of the information explosion, an age where science has permeated all aspects of society... Who would have thought that I would come across something like this, of course, it''s not like I''m unhappy... Ouch... ... Shit headache again, no, my eyes ... it''s not a headache, it''s, uh... Ouu... Why are my eyes burning... ... golden, golden... Why did everything turn golden, what is this written... My eyes are closed, so this... [Order is just an empty excuse, injustice has found its way into law... Gods are cruel... Gods are cruel not only to mortals but also to themselves... God!?, heh... these people are just slightly stronger mortals, with seven emotions and six wishes, the only difference is that they are a thousand times more proud... ...humf, ridiculous... This is just ridiculous, these flawed beings who are full of worldly desires like mortals and also drown in these desires and perish like them, call themselves gods just because of their longer life and more power. Clarity is bullshit... Calling themselves god because of more power is clearly nonsense... Gods are cruel, justice has become a soulless ornament to hide injustice... I do not accept, this is extremely cruel, and unacceptable... ahh... Poor lonely souls, I wish you could at least take the last journey in peace... Humph... I''m tired of this cycle of wandering and fruitlessness... I use all the my life energy To fix this so that at least those lonely souls can go their way in peace. . .] . . . Rumi, the poet, asked his friend Shams: What happened, you came to peace?! Shams replied: I was supposed to calm myself, not the world around me, but a miracle happened and the world around me also calmed down... chapter 2 : Why me!? The darkness that is shy and red in the day, And he is always looking for a place to hide, At night, he is like a mischievous and curious child who has just become acquainted with the prosperity of the outside world and is constantly playing... In fact, if it wasn''t for the scary monster called lighting, He definitely wants to look everywhere and surround everyone and everything And well, sometimes it scares lonely people... Billions of stars like shining diamonds have decorated the night sky. The shining moon is the biggest jewel of the night and gives its beauty and glory to all creatures under the sky. Among the houses of the city, you can see only a few houses that are not covered by darkness, they are present somewhere among the buildings that are taller and stronger... When we go a little further from them, Among the darkest parts of the city, If we continue to the darker depths, We reach a place where darkness with a mist of mystery has created an area of ??fear and apprehension. On top of a hill at the beginning of this place, There is an old hut that shows signs of restoration. In fact, anyone who steps here thinks to himself that at this time, this place must be one of the last remaining places in nature where it can be expected that greedy human will not set foot in it... Huh!?... that!!..., there is someone!!!... Surprisingly, You can see a young man coming out of the hut, Well, there is also a little peace, Because you can see that he is afraid And he runs out of the hut with trembling legs while breathing fast... While breathing heavily, Ethan slowly slowed down and Then he realized that nothing but darkness appeared. He moved his legs forward with great effort, At the same time, he thought: Why do my eyes seem to be on fire? What were those strange words!? Order!! ...justice!?... Why should I!?... ... this... Can it be the reason for my migration? ,Is it a message from someone who put me in this body? ,Does he want me to be a hero of justice or something like that!?... But why me!?... It''s not that I''m a bad person, it''s just that I also can''t be a hero of justice, so it''s a little hard to explain. Hmmm, what would be the answer? ... Well, you can''t talk about courage or something like that Anyway, nothing happened in my life that made me feel brave!? or not , Well, actually it''s not... I will definitely not say it in front of others But I know from the bottom of my heart that I am not... Anyway, that''s not the point, the point is that I''m not a very social person, not one of those who can''t or those who don''t want to... Well, maybe I want to believe like this myself... Oh! Enough!! Leave the self-destructive thoughts with you!!! ... Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. deep breath... That''s right, the reason is,That I am not a philanthropist or a great benefactor, Sometimes I hate people and sometimes I am interested... Well, I''m very paradoxical. I know... hmmmmmm, well that''s it I am a paradoxical person, Also lazy and always like to grumble... That''s it, I''m definitely not the right person, I mean, you know there are so many dedicated firefighters or police officers, why should I... that!!... what is that!?... Why is that man transparent!!! This!?... Something is written above his head!! [Soul without surface, suicide] !!? Suicide!! Soul... Soul? ... ? Soul!!!? Ethan ran as fast as he seemed to be running for his life, the transparent man or Soul also seemed to be attracted by his commotion and quickly floated towards him, muttering unintelligible words. [Hey #** d*#... HEL#...MA##...] Ethan felt something, looked back, and his face became uglier and ran even faster, but the sudden acceleration and overwhelming darkness made him not see the branch on the way... and well, he fell... After Etan''s fall, the spirit also reached Etan, and at this time, when Etan''s mind was searching for a solution in confusion, suddenly a golden lightning flashed in Etan''s black and tired eyes, and then it seemed... hmmmm... Well, drowned! ... his state was as if his consciousness had gone to another world... . When people who have a comfortable life meet people in difficult situations ,To pretend to sympathize Or I don''t know, maybe with sincerity, They say: the end of every darkness is light... After walking long enough through the dark tunnel at the end there is always light waiting for you with open arms... Hee... bullsh** Why do people like to talk so much? ... to pretend to be knowledgeable?... Isn''t talking the easiest thing in the world? ... Why do you want to give up life!?... Do I want to give up on life?!... what is life ... Am I alive now? Is this life? This is what I''m in now... They call it life?... Come to yourself!! After death, everything is over, neither light nor even hope, only darkness... Darkness?... Does that mean there is something darker and more painful than this?... . Do you not feel any pain or regret after death?... After death, you can finally get out of the destructive cycle of time, neither the past nor the future... Just listening to the simple and pure whisper of silence... I want to know, no, I want to remember, the feeling when I was a child, no, the feeling before that... . ?Hey guys, let''s play? "Oh...calm down. If you make too much noise, father Anthony will get angry." ? Sure sister? "Ah... why are you standing there!! ... kids Let Etan play your game too." ?No, we don''t want to, Ethan brings bad luck? ""Right, did you guys hear that?, His father died on his birthday. "" ?Wow!! How scary!!!...? . Heh, that''s right, bad luck, I get bad luck... Most people, when they experience enough of the world, They understand this... when they are young, Most do not want to accept this, And they think that this deficiency can be filled only with more try, they don''t learn from their predecessors...

They try, after failure they try even harder, but failure, Failure and failure... so where is it Candy after the bitter medicine... Where is the light after the darkness?!! ... Am I the problem?

Despite all these signs, I was not yet awake. The world had tried again and again to remind me But my eyes still saw the light, Maybe the light of hope no longer existed But there was still a brighter light that only I could see... His smile was like a cool breeze, that blows in the summer heat And it gives the feeling that this breeze is worth all the heat of the day... The beginning of my acquaintance with Lilia dates back to the time when I passed the academy entrance exam. She was different from the other girls. kind, considerate, sweet, As if the whole world was just her, and I ... Many people despise this issue And they always consider themselves with a different reaction, I was like this even before... I thought that if someone comes to me when I''m successful, but there is no trace of that person in my difficult time, I''m just being polite, but I don''t really care... Everyone says Ice cream on the cake is sweet But it doesn''t mean much, But I had never eaten ice cream before And this was the first time in my life, That I felt the taste Sweet, cool And full of pleasure like this... I fell in love, she became the final light at the end of the dark tunnel instead of the icing on the cake, the reward I deserved after so much hard work, or so I thought ... The love that still gave me its shining light when I lost the light of hope, became the last blow to the four legs of the condemned man... After that incident, suddenly all the words that bothered me in the past and I was running away from them turned into truths that were an exact description of me... I''m unlucky, I am ominous, no matter how hard i try I sink more into the swamp, The world tried to tell me many times, but I was delusional... My father joined the army for a better future for me... My mother worked several shifts for me And he put too much pressure on his body... Lilia... I, Lilia deserve... maybe, maybe I didn''t deserve her... ... What is the point of my life? ... What is the use of life for me? This is the life they say, Is it really worth a damn... If it wasn''t for me, my parents would live happily together. Heh, the sooner I disappeared, like the famous saying, there is always a benefit in preventing harm, they could still take less damage... Even now, if I am not there, the pension will continue, my mother no longer has an adult son to support her, so the pension will return... A ridiculous excuse, but at that time I just needed a reason, no matter if it was true or not... ... . I made my decision... I felt as if I had never really done something useful like now... Heh, selfish fool who doesn''t think about anything before and after his work... I didn''t want to make my mother more upset. But leaving without saying goodbye was a bit painful, Out of selfishness, I wrote the last letter, full of dark words, desperate, explaining my reasons Without even a hint of apology for doing what I set out to do, I left it... I was really a s****... After that I just went to a high place and... I jumped... At the beginning, I still had a little smile of happiness and relief on my face when I was falling, without even thinking about the consequences after my death until I reached half the height of the high place, then an image flashed in my mind... My mother''s smile... When I was a child...after my father died... After she came back from several shifts, despite being tired, she was still worried about me during the day... The smile after my success in the exam, the smile after my repeated failures in finding a job, the smile to calm me down, the great concern for my health despite the fatigue of several hard shifts... Pulling a blanket over my head... The unfair distribution of food in my favor despite her constant hard work ... Happiness is when I am happy, sadness is when I am unhappy... Time passed more slowly after that image... smile...smile...smile and smile... After an unknown period of time in my mind and a few moments in reality, My head is filled with pleasant pictures of smiles, The void in my heart was filled with something I had forgotten... Will to live... In the past, I always tried hard, but I didn''t feel like I wanted to live. It was just hope, the desire to have hope, heh, hope... actually working hard all the time just clinging to the only thing I could do, it was hard to escape from reality... "I don''t want to die..." "No !!... No !!! ..." "Please... help!" ..." "Noooooooo!!!" Help didn''t come like all the other times, this time it didn''t come either and I left without saying the word sorry... I continued to hurt him even after my death... . . . chapter 4 : Please help me "sorry..." While darkness has spread its claws everywhere, At this moment, in this special place, one can witness a rare image of the song of emotions such as sadness and regret along with a shocking mystery. In this place, in addition to the presence of darkness, There is also the sound of cold breaths that can be heard from the wind hitting the trees. This sound, when followed by the eerie silence that reigns around the graves and tombstones that can be seen everywhere, creates a mysterious, calm and at the same time terrifying atmosphere. In this eerie space in the middle of seemingly endless graves and tombs, We see a relatively simple but clean stone slab, where a middle-aged woman with a pale and disheveled face, wearing a simple black dress and covered in dust, sits on her knees in front of the stone and sobs in a muffled voice , And she whispers words under her breath: ?So... I''m sorry... Sorry because you had a mother like me... If... If I wasn''t your mother... If only I wasn''t your mother, definitely... Why didn''t I understand... Why... Why! why!! why!!! Why!!!! ... ... ? Whoosh A cold wind started blowing "Ahhhhhh!!... My dear little knight... Don''t worry, sleep peacefully, Mom takes care of everything... Everything is mom''s fault... Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are... ? In this sad atmosphere, besides the senses of mourning and regret, there is also a strange atmosphere, Understanding this space is easier for people who are connected with death magic. To explain it better, it can be explained by giving an example of one of these people who is nearby. An old man with old, pink clothes full of wrinkles with ugly black spots emitting an aura of rejection of life, He looks at the scene from a distance... He sighs a little and walks away... The old man''s reason for leaving is not his heartlessness, Well, it''s a little bit old and hard-hearted too, but just Only in this case, there is really nothing he can do. Anyway, the presence of this soul is just a miracle of steel will. No matter how obsessed or oppressed a soul is Without the talent and energy of death, it is impossible to survive in the world, or a special means, If the world was based on justice, would even the soul need to be... But how much pain this soul has that despite the absence of each of them, in addition to being present, it has been able to fill the space with feelings of sadness, longing, regret and full of apologies. ?Oh, look at the darkness in the sky, I mean, what time is it? My little knight must be back by now, I haven''t prepared anything to eat yet, I have to be quick.? ... The source of the mysterious space tried with all his might in an effort to induce his feeling, even his eyes began to flash with a red light during this effort, in the form of a raging sea of ??blood, but for ordinary people, it''s just a tremor, that''s right, it''s terrifying, and a tremor inside. It creates instead of outside, but only that... . ?Ha ha ha ha ha... calm down, baby someone hears us...? "Let them hear, let the whole world know that you are mine" ?Heeeeeeee...? Booooom!!! "What was that!!..." ?So that the whole world, humph... Ah!, ummmmm, that was the sound of the door, it must be my dad!! Come on, now is the right time to prove our love to him.?

"What do you want to eat, my dear?" "My dear..." "My knight..." ... In a small room with rotten and pale walls, at this hour of the day when the darkness is at its most active hours, the room is illuminated only by the light of the moon that shines through some remaining parts of the window glass that still has its original transparency. It is maintained. A middle-aged woman with a face full of weakness and a smile that symbolizes a set of emotions that are the exact opposite of happiness speaks in an empty and silent room in a tone that indicates a begging for an answer: ?Is... is the dearest knight in the world asleep?" ... can mom please... Can she request that his loved one return to his mother from the land of dreams?... dear...? The middle-aged woman walked through the wooden and old corridor without light with trembling steps, so that each step has the pressure of tens of thousands of tons. When the middle-aged woman reached the room at the end of the corridor, she suddenly became dry and stared blankly at the letter on the table next to the old wooden bed, which has been wet and dried from the shape of the paper. After some time, he couldn''t hold back his anger and collapsed there, sobbing and gasping for breath. ?I''m sorry for being a wasteful mother...? ?Even now that the little knight has become like this, mother is still weak and useless...? Mom wanted to tear the mouth of that smelly priest, But the knight''s body, piece by piece, had emptied all of mom''s being... ? Mommy doesn''t have her little knight to protect anymore... ? Ahhhh... how can they be so cruel, why why! "My sweetie suffered all his life and now they say he can''t even sleep peacefully...? Why is fate so cruel, why !!Sweetie!?... I prayed over and over in the church that if my little knight is to be punished, punish me instead of the little knight.. ? Ah, Goddess of Light, Lord of Order, please let Sweety rest in peace... It''s all my fault, I wasn''t a good mother, I didn''t deserve Sweety, please let him at least sleep in peace...? ?Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid... Why were you only thinking about work and stupid lessons... My sweetie, her little body that I wouldn''t let someone pick up so that she wouldn''t be pressured and upset... Now what, my little knight''s body, sweetie, sweetie, sweetie...? ... All the strength of the middle-aged woman was exhausted and her weak body spread on the ground and her consciousness slowly disappeared before the last sob... The source of the mysterious space suddenly became extremely restless due to helplessness and grief, it was constantly shaking and moving from place to place, if someone with the power of death is near, it will notice his eyes, which are bursting with light the color of a volcano from blood... The source of space wandered restlessly in the room for some time without result, his mind was losing more and more, in the last effort of his remaining mind he issued the command to seek help... He wandered around for a while, but as his consciousness worsened, he could only instinctively pull himself back to his body, wandering for a while until he felt a sense of warmth returning his consciousness and ability to think from a boy running past him. Attracted . Ethan''s eyes turned black again and his mind came out of the sunken state. Ethan began rubbing his temples with his hands to process the information he had just received, secretly wiping tears from the corners of his eyes. Hmmmmmmm, this must be about that golden text that popped into my head right, I wish the poor souls could at least rest in peace, Justice and other things... Anyway, I have to face the situation now, Etan turned to the soul and said: "What do you want, boy, do you understand me, hello, Bonjour, Kon''nichiwa, "N¨« h¨£o, hallo..." [hel...hel l...] "Hell!?... Haha!! Cough, boy, I suggest you to be polite, I am now two completely different people from me a while ago, I am no longer afraid of the soul..." [Ple...helllll...helllll...pppp...me...] "Pl e and hel, oh! Help, help!! ... your mother!!! ... excuse me ... wait for two minutes, I''ll get something, and then show me the way to your house... . In the house of the spirit that asked Etan for help, Ethan gently shook the weak middle-aged woman and hit her face a few times to bring her back to consciousness. The soul moved around with worry, And occasionally it created a wind... The middle-aged woman seemed slightly shaken. Ethan held a glass in front of her mouth and tried to persuade her to drink its contents And at the same time he thought: She has not eaten for a long time, and just cried, Due to this issue, people with these symptoms usually suffer from hypoglycemia... They should drink a glass of sugar water and if they do not get better, they should be taken to the hospital.. Fortunately, this woman can wake up and drink medicine, otherwise I don''t think there is a head here, but there is healing magic, I don''t know if it works for such things, of course, it is very expensive... And... This lady or I do not have the ability to call a healer... The middle-aged woman slowly opened her now completely red and puffy eyes and looked at Ethan in confusion. Ethan: "Cough, I''m a mage with the death attribute, I saw your son''s ghost, he looked so pathetic, that''s why I listened to his story... And it seems that he has something to say, that''s why I brought him here. The woman''s eyes showed a trace of confusion when she saw Ethan And then she looked at Ethan with a hint of fear as she heard the death spell and then with burning anger. Ethan''s body trembled with the feeling of burning anger from the woman, he was confused at first, and then his eyes lit up with the thought of something, and before being consumed by the woman''s eyes, he said: "I hope there''s no misunderstanding, I''m not a necromancer, just a wizard with the attribute of death" The puffy eyes of the woman softened a little and then she looked at Ethan with anticipation, worry and guilt, her lips were moving, but only intelligible sounds came out without being able to pronounce a single word. Ethan''s eyes started to shine golden and his look to his side, which was completely empty, but his eyes did not seem to see the wall in front as it should, but something else. After some time, a face with a golden color began to form, gradually the hands and feet and the final shape of the face were formed. It was semi-transparent in some places, and with a golden color, it had a mysterious look, but the middle-aged woman recognized the face, went towards him and tried to grab his body, but there was no body. She continued to try for a while until their eyes met. ... They both started crying. Ethan felt uncomfortable, he couldn''t bear this atmosphere full of sadness, he left the room under the pretext of giving two people a private space while still maintaining his connection with the soul. . In front of the house of the middle-aged woman The door opened slowly and the weak face of the middle-aged woman appearedEthan, who already lost his connection with the soul, was just waiting for the words of the middle-aged woman. The woman turned to Ethan and said in a weak and hoarse voice: "Thanks, I don''t know how to repay you, I don''t have any money, but if you ever need someone to do the dishes, clean, or anything, just let me know." Ethan wanted to say words of rejection, but looking into the woman''s eyes, he didn''t say anything, he just clenched his teeth. After a while, the middle-aged woman turned back to go home. Her back looked so lonely as she stretched her frail body forward... . . . In a sequence of a Korean TV series, a teacher asked his students: Research has been done on the most beautiful word in the English language, what do you think that word is? The students answered: love?... Rainbow?... Basketball?... -__- The teacher answered the question himself: The most beautiful word in the English language is mother chapter 5 : Magic Circle "Come try our special sandwich, This sandwich is made directly from the secret recipe given by an adventurer who returned from the new continent. ""Only twopence each round, whoever guesses the cup the dice is in wins a shilling, hurry up!..."" Please pay attention to this side, special discounts and different types of customer persuasion methods were seen from all sides, The street was full of stalls and vendors trying to do business. The kids were causing trouble, And the parents were training them using their own special method of tough love, In addition to increasing family harmony (parents at the top and obedient children at the bottom), this method also introduced children at this age to the concept of conflict theory. At this time, Ethan did not noties the chaos around him. He was walking in the busy street while immersed in his thoughts: Is the destruction of a person his fault? Or the total fault of all humans!? ... Whether it is himself or all or a combination of both, Why does the world, instead of pulling people out of the abyss, increase the pressure to sink deeper into it? ... In a sequence of the got series, Tyrion Lannister and Varys were discussing a thought-provoking subject: Tyrion Lannister: "What is it you wont exactly?" Varys: " Peace, prosperity, a land where the powerful do not prey on the powerless" Tyrion Lannister: " castles are made of gingerbread and the moats are filled whith blackberry wine, The powerful have always prayed on the powerless, thats how they became powerful in the first place" Varys: "perhaps, and perhaps we grown so used to horror, we assume there''s no other way " The little man and the one before was a man, They brought up a special point... People think that there is no other way... This could be an answer, but even if there is a way, so what? The reason for not reaching it after thousands of years and hundreds of generations,Is it horror?! Or the endless hunger inside humans that cannot be filled with any amount of status and wealth, Greed, which has engulfed the entire human being in the form of a flaming fire, and wants to burn everything and everyone so that this fire becomes more burning and brighter... The reason for not reaching it is greed? Or maybe... fate... Why was there darkness when there was light? What is the reason for all this hatred and jealousy? What is the need for the existence of feelings that make a person even have a bad thought about another person... Ethan took a deep breath, sighed a little, shook his head and stopped thinking about the unanswered questions and started thinking about his current problems: I''m drowning in my problems right now, it''s a bit funny to think about the world''s problems by me... anyway... Ethan found out what the golden writing was, it seems that by helping to destroy the souls obsession, he inherits some of the knowledge and skills that they spent most of their lives working on. ethan does not know what conditions the souls must have in order to be able to help, for now the only soul he saw next to the cemetery was that boy. Anyway, Ethan realized when the reward was being transferred that the process was done through his soul connecting with the other person''s soul, slightly increasing his spiritual perception and also seeming to transfer skills through my soul to my body, My physical condition also improved a little. about knowledge, Like the knowledge inherited by Ethan''s predecessor, It is like a search engine in the brain, which is displayed in my mind by entering some information about an article to search for existing knowledge about that article. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Ethan in addition to knowledge, He also acquired the skill of steel will, Its performance seems good, It is like its name. Considering Ethan''s received memory, this is only a skill, A little higher than the low skill that ordinary people can get with training, But in any case, the mid-level skill is the result of a lifetime of effort for others. It is not known how much this boy''s soul suffered to acquire such a skill in the spirit state. However, the big problem still exists, Unfortunately, even with my new memory, I couldn''t find anything about a scythe spider tattoo. Hisssssss Even thinking about it still made Ethan shiver. He has an ominous feeling about it, based on years of experience singing Ethan''s novels, this is not a good sign at all... Well, apart from this, by examining and putting together the knowledge received from the predecessor and that boy, Ethan gained some information about the structure of this world, the most important of which is the structure of the powers of this world, which includes: There are different types of ranking systems in this world, from magic to martial arts And even spirit magic and knight and curseand a variety of other things, There is also a structure called skills and innate skills or gifts that act like a cheat on people who acquire them or are born with them... Of course, it should be noted that these skills are divided into different levels. . Anyway, because of this confusion, they use a more principled system for the comprehensive ranking of people so that the difference can be felt. That system is like the adventure system in novels, which divides the adventurers into A, B, C, D according to the powers or applications that can be performed for people with power in that category. In addition, the pluses of each and finally the highest ones divide s. Ethan''s predecessor is out of this classification without any special power or skill and is considered an ordinary human, even his talent in magic is in the garbage category, i.e. rotten magic circuits. It''s rotten, the name of his talent is rotten, he has officially taken the name of garbage... Fortunately, there are ways to increase potential in this world, Of course, these ways are not cheap, but with the beginning of the colonial era, these ways have become a little cheaper for the lower ranks in the empire, so that the number of people in the lower ranks in the empire has multiplied. Of course, it is still difficult for the higher ranks because the resources for them are strictly controlled, Of course, resources for high ranks are only partially effective Also, the resources needed for very high level ranks like A are extremely scarce in this world and are not something that can be achieved only with wealth and status. However, getting resources at that level means being exposed to risk at that level, ranks at that level are each considered a lord... In fact, to the highest rank in this world... Rank s... They also say Overlord... There are only a few dozen of them in the whole world, each of them can create even a kingdom based on their own strength. Even in the empire where the Salaf is located, these people are called duke or grand duke if they make some achievements, the empire where the Salaf lives in this world is among the top three superpowers of this world. In the rival empire this is even more radical, the country by a council including these people and a little lower people but with special powers, and headed by the emperor, Anyone with this power can become a member of the council with the approval of the council, of course, if they swear not to betray the royal family and directly take over a state for administration, Of course, this oath includes a heavenly contract, the violation clause of which provides for many consequences. Again... uh, back into details that are funny for me to think about... It seems that after taking the skills of that boy, I feel a little difference in my body, maybe my rotten circuits have improved a little. Ethan thought that the magic talent in this world includes magic circuits, perception and will, magic circuits can be checked with special tools that I think by checking the sensitivity to mana and the speed of absorption of mana and the shape and size especially the number of it in the heart It is classified. Regarding perception, there is no special means, at least for the general public, and it is measured only by the pressure that can be tolerated by a real magician... Will is naturally formed over time. Ethan shook his head again and sighed. He pushed the information that was not helping him at the moment into a corner and thought: I have to focus on the current big problem, the torment that is hacked into my destiny in such a way that it cannot be separated from me in other dimensions... Exam... The reason why Ethan decided to participate in the state exam instead of going to the interview for a job was because of his field of study, which is the magic circle. This field is not a bad field, by the way, if you have no potential for magic and other types of power systems, you have no connections or wealth, one of the best ways to integrate into high society and gain some prestige is to study in this field. Magic circles have many uses in this world, magic circles can be used to make weapons like magic balls and guns, of course these weapons are only effective on low ranks. He also used magic circles to make various tools such as water and flying ships, trains and other types of tools. It can also be used to make low-rank artifacts and check and repair high-rank artifacts whose manufacturing technology requires all kinds of spells and rare and controlled materials. Also, in order to break from higher ranks or the sorcerer, swordsman or advanced level fighter, it is necessary to draw the corresponding magic circle. It is also used in quantification and making of weapons and a wide variety of different things. In short, by studying this field, you will enter communication circles of various fields and despite not having power, you will gain the respect of many powerful people. Well, the problem is not the string, the problem is that I did not inherit the predecessor''s memories in full, and only have a part of it ... With the memories that Eitan got from that boy, it is enough to answer the questions of the common subjects, it is true that the boy had a problem in his studies, but my memories of his knowledge are like a memory and are completely related to the entire knowledge acquired by him in any part of his life. Let him remember, whether it is lost in his memories, it can be recovered by me. That boy was studying in the field of engineering of magical tools, which has many similar subjects to this field, and in addition to the broken memories of the predecessor, Eitan can absorb the knowledge that includes the memorization lessons of the exam from them with a little study. The problem is calculations, the most important principle of this discipline is its calculations, the graduates of this discipline help to draw it by magicians by performing calculations related to the magic circle. ... Anyway, Ethan is currently going to the academy to collect his predecessor''s remaining belongings in the professor''s office that the predecessor was working with. . . . There is enough on this earth for every one''s need but for no one''s greed ______ Mahatma Gandhi chapter 6 : Devil "Did you hear, another person was murdered again" ""What!? , again!! Why doesn''t anyone stop that devil! Are you sure it was his work?"" "What is this question! You forgot who the devil is, what other evil creature, and the abomination rips out the eyes of its victims to be marked as a work example. " ""Disgusting... so the victim? "" "Ahhhh, it''s sad to think about it too, the poor girl seems to have had a bad life as well as a bad death, I hope the Lord of Light rests her soul" ""Amin"" Ethan, who was in front of the entrance, listening to the story of the two, trembled a little when he heard the words of eye-opening, and besides, he bent down to listen from the corridor... These things caused him to lose his balance and he leaned on the office door to prevent himself from falling, and the half-open door was fully opened, which attracted the attention of two men... "Who are you?" said the suspicious narrator. The man who was listening to the story scrutinized Ethan''s face, suddenly as if he remembered something, he opened his mouth and said: "You should be the assistant of Professor underwood, the professor said about it, here are some of your things, come and take the rest, go and get it from him at the Professor ''s house" Ethan: "Thank you" ?What happened here?? A man in his thirties in a suit, gloves and a cane, a cane not for disability but a part of his style, a face, well handsome but not as good as yours, with slow stepsBut each of them Strong proof of his confidence, As he moved forward, he asked a question in a mature and deep voice. Narrator man: "Ah... Mr. Director, ummmmm, it''s nothing important, this graduate student has come to get his things" The Director''s eyes fell on Ethan and without doing anything, he locked Ethan with his invisibility aura of wisdom, while a smile fell on his cold face, he said: "You must be Professor Underwood''s assistant, right?" . ¡® Seeing the Director''s expression, Ethan could only think of one famous word to describe handsome middle-aged men, Dady, Just this dady, even the few wrinkles of a middle-aged dady Which of course adds to the ripe of a dady does not have And there is only ripe. With deeper thinking, Ethan was able to relate to the negative role in dramas. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. If a handsome man stands next to his love with such a smile and is flirting, he may not be able to stop himself from doing some bad things despite his high morals. Etan, who noticed that we were silent, collected himself and said "yes" The Director, as if he was used to this type of space, quickly said, "Do you need help with anything?" Ethan "No, thank you" Director: "Have you come to see Professor Underwood?" Ethan: "I just came for my stuff" Director: "Did you get what you wanted?" Ethan: "No, I have to go to the professor''s house to get it" Director: "What are your future plans?" Ethan: "Um... well, I''m preparing for the recruitment test" Director :"Okay, I hope you are successful, God bless and also take care of yourself" . While walking slowly and wandering the lively streets, Ethan thought: Now that I think parents have the right to tell their children to go and study instead of looking at those useless things... Today, Ethan went to a pub to get information about recent events in the city, ordered food and listened to the conversation. Ethan was able to eat a good meal for the first time since he came to this body. At that time, he thought that it is true that among the three basic needs of the body, Eating is the most important, in fact the only thing that matters... Oh... well, about the problem, naturally, eating is not the problem, the problem is after, that is, the bill... Ethan has now changed from a poor unemployed graduate to a poor unemployed graduate in debt, fortunately, the academy''s student card has a lot of credit in the city, otherwise he would have become a poor unemployed graduate with a bad record... So why should we study instead of miscellaneous work? Because you forget your common sense because of watching movies and reading countless novels and go to places that demand money like pubs without checking the budget for research... In fact, the previous owner of Ethan''s body still had some money from part-time jobs at the academy, but this money is necessary to survive until he takes the exam and finds a job... Well, Ethan continued on his way as he shook his head to clear it of the disturbing thoughts, thinking of ways to save money... Oh! About the information obtained in the pub? What information can be obtained in the pub ... which hardworking lady who is in the business of complete customer satisfaction, has more skills and in more position, cough, is more hardworking. Other than that, well... Which kind old man stepped forward to help the poor and lonely widow at the end of the street this time And it has been an opportunity for others to do good deeds... Which lady in trouble has recently been saved by a certain playboy playboy with a passionate cough... After all, there is nothing to be found in the pub except talking about good deeds. Ethan''s mind has no chance to think of good work right now, his mind is full of confusion and fear. Information about the mysterious transfer that nothing, He didn''t find anything about his eyes or anything about the scythe spider tattoo either... Ethan is an ordinary person, He does not become brave by being in mysterious situations. Only the fear of the unknown has taken over Etan''s mind... Of course, if someone asks Ethan how he is now, he starts pretending. In fact, even within his own mind he is denying itand blames the new body, which is not immune to adrenaline, so that others misunderstand Ethan, who is known for his courage. . I don''t know why, maybe because my body changed or maybe because of new magical skills, or maybe I''ve always been like this... In a house in the style of European architecture of the 18th century, with scattered papers and books, Pieces of calculations can be seen everywhere, even the wall. In the center of this mess, a... Corpse... There is a corpse... In the center of the mess is a man with pale skin and eyes that... well, no longer exist... Ethan was on top of the body and was examining the body with indifferent eyes and a trace of doubt... Ethan''s eyes lost their indifference when he reached the man''s hands and took on a state of terror and panic. What made Ethan''s eyes panic was the mark of a spider with a scythe on the man''s hands... The mark is small and faint and should be barely noticeable But the mysterious coldness that surrounded it was something that Ethan would never forget... This reaction once again made him prove No matter how brave a person pretends to be, when he is faced with the danger that confronts him, he cannot maintain acting... . "How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" ""It should be a little more than three years. "" "You said when was the last time you met Mr. Underwood other than today" ""I told you! "I don''t remember. "" "Please repeat your answer again, You must also write your answer on this sheet to be recorded in the file and sign I don''t think it is necessary to repeat again that your summons will be registered for the court. ""I don''t remember... "" "What did you say about Mr. Underwood''s personal differences?" ""I don''t know... I don''t know, I don''t remember anything now... "" "So what did you say you came to Mr. Underwood''s for?" ""I said, to get my things, the academy is also in progress"" "Well...he usually comes to Mr. Underwood''s house a lot" ""No, I only came to his house a few times"" "You were Mr. Underwood''s assistant at the academy, right?" However, just a few times... did you have a disagreement?¡± ""Why do you keep repeating these questions!! I said that if you have doubts about something, you can ask the academy or other relatives of him. "" "Does answering police questions cause you anxiety and confusion?" ""I don''t... what do you say... this... "" A voice came from far away "Stephan, don''t bother the kid...come here boy, let''s take a walk" Officer: "Oh! Detective Stanford, you were here, oh yes, sure... Eye ? Ethan: "..." . . . chapter 7 : Sherlock Holmes The sky is showing off... The sky doesn''t need to do anything to mock the sense of arrogance in the beings below it, its mere presence is enough to crush any pathetic attempt by a mortal at pride and self-conceit. A young man under the age of 20 with a normal face but deep eyes with a sense of coldness and mystery in them, wearing a simple coat and a white shirt, what made him different was the black cloth with which He tied his left hand, if it was a red cloth, it would look just like the famous Chinobio in anime... He was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a more stylish suit with a pocket watch, his appearance was also ordinary, his eyes were deep but different from the coldness and mystery of the boy''s eyes, his eyes are like a mirror, inside instead of the surface appearance. It has the feeling that it seems to reveal the inside of anyone who looks at it, and ... with a beard that was quite a testament to his occupation ... The two were walking in a strangely empty street, in fact even if it was busy, the careful look in the middle-aged man''s eyes made others uncomfortable. And they made the way for it twice... Ethan: There was also a mark on that man''s hand, a mark on two people who are related and both died... There is no similar case in my received memory, the police did not mention such a commonality between the victims killed by a serial killer, so it must not be his work. Someone must be staging... Someone who has done at least two murders so far... But how am I going to explain this to the police? I can''t say because I was attacke, Right, then I have to explain how I survived. Here is a semi-medieval society, surely the first thought when seeing strange things in an ant is dissection... But the result of not telling is also death... So far, no action has been taken and I was a little careless, but actually the The main owner of the body is dead... If there was no other person who was dead, it could be said that the killer becomes cautious and hesitates for a while when he sees that the target is alive. But another person has also been killed, if I don''t say anything now with my power that you can hardly cut off a chicken''s head, it only means showing off for the angel of death... Not saying death, saying death then... so... the only way is lie... Two murders happened. I have to say that it is only one murder, And the suspect changes from a serial killer to another killer who is trying to blame the serial killer for the murder, However, the eyes of the original owner of the body were not opened So it should not be the work of a serial killer, Also, why should a serial killer target someone, the reason for a serial killer being a serial killer is the aimless killing of random people with psychopathic reasons... Now is the time... Dozens of crime movies and novels should be used... Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, please help... What would he say if he were Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes: When the superabundance of detail is gone, what remains are exceptional possibilities. Ethan: I think this dialogue is for the lack of proof of the killer''s identity at the scene of the murder, not to make others guilty... Sherlock Holmes: Cough!... When we remove all the impossible possibilities, what remains, no matter how incomplete and demeaning, is surely true. Ethan: This is also due to the lack of evidence... wait... Maybe it will work, I have to say as if the killer is not possible to be that serial killer in this case... Detective: "You should have calmed down by now, right?" Can you tell me what you think now? ... Ethan was a little shocked by the detective''s sudden speech and said helplessly, "I think it''s not the work of that serial killer?" Detective: "That''s right... What!! ... What did you say? Who what!?? Ethan: "Cough...Why should the murderer go to someone''s house to kill? I mean, when the frequency of murder is too high, we should eliminate the impossible possibilities, so ummm... Can''t someone try to blame the serial killer for the murder? ..." Detective: "Is this a question or a hypothesis..." Ethan: "Cough... I mean, ummmmm, that demon usually commits murders on the street, and well, the professor is usually not in the public eye much and doesn''t show himself much, so he''s not social... there''s no logic to being targeted by that crazy person. ... I mean, serial killers usually crave attention, right?¡± The penetrating eyes of the detective, who was full of doubt and confusion, this was very inconsistent with him and he said helplessly: "Yes" Ethan: "I mean... hmmmm... a serial killer who is extremely arrogant and has practically lost all sense of human emotion that is related to or even close to compassion is doing this murder... a Psychopath..." You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Psychology in this world should not yet reach the stage of recognizing diseases like psychopathy, I even saw something like hysteria in my new memory or that boy... wait! I was talking... Focus on the wording, Ethan! "No, well, that means he must have some kind of mental illness, something like a lack of something... And killing an isolated person... Well, it''s inconsistent and it doesn''t seem like someone forced his way into the house. If it was the work of a serial killer, it must be some kind of show of strength like breaking in... Well. .. and... ..." The detective, who at first was trying to make a polite announcement, seemed to think for a moment when he saw the expression on Ethan''s face. And with a tone full of admiration for Ethan''s great achievement, he interrupted and said "Right, I''m surprised you were able to figure out that you definitely have a great talent for detective work... I heard you just graduated from the academy, how about coming to the police department for an internship?" Ethan: "Huh?...Uh, yes, yes, sure... Ummm... What are you doing now about the murder, you mean now that you know that it is not the work of a serial killer, but there I saw that you announced to the journalists that it is the work of the devil of eye . The detective: "This... well, there is definitely a very good reason, that is, hmmm..." The detective thought for a while And after feeling awkward, he came a little closer to Etan The face of a kind uncle who took the possibility of him and lying together in one place And he said in a mysterious tone: In fact, when we deal with suspected cases of another mysterious killer who pretends to be a wanted serial killer, the protocol is not to announce it because it will disrupt social stability... Serial killers are usually secretive and silent for fear of being caught so as not to be noticed... Ethan: "So you let him do whatever he wants!" Detective: "Well, exceptional problems require exceptional solutions. That is, if the killer does not want to be found We also pretend it doesn''t exist and secretly look for it... But if he is looking for attention and fame, we have no choice but to make an announcement. In any case, if he wants to make an announcement, he cannot be stopped, and when people find out later that we were hiding, the situation will get worse..." Ethan: Why don''t you make everything clear, that means the truth shouldn''t be more important than anything else? Detective: "Well, it goes back to politics... How do you think the government maintains order and security?" Ethan: "Police, ummm, job creation?" , education and expansion, goodness and kindness? ? Detective: "These things also exist, but you should know, History has proven many times that few people come out of the test of temptation unscathed, When you can commit a sin without fear of consequences, how many people can really withstand the temptation? Big sins maybe not from the beginning, But big sins also start from small sins... The government cannot only use the police to maintain order, the number of places that the police can protect is limited, but the temptation is everywhere... What the government does is to create social stability, the concept that everything is safe and secure... Anyone who is arrested as soon as he commits a crime, it is obvious that at the end of the story, he always wins over evil... One of the most serious tasks of the government, which does not allow negligence in any way, is to create social stability, and for that, it is ready to do anything... must do anything..." Ethan''s mind was well distracted from the main question and, like any fool, falling for a trickster''s word game, he said, "What do people think?" Detective: "People? Most people these days are trying to survive... When living things are trying to survive, they have no choice but to follow instinct... I am sure that if a vote is held to create security using any means or no security but following benevolence, people will choose security..." Ethan: "I still think your opinion about people is a bit biased" The detective said with a grin: "Hee! So what do you think!? Ethan: "All human beings are not alone and suffer... All children are pure and innocent when they are born. Everything people do, whatever they say, It is a manifestation of the encounters that they face in their growth environment, Any behavior or personality they show is the result of a defensive wall that has formed around them over time... Turning his grin into a smile, the detective said, "Right, as I said, a healthy environment is the most important... Anyway, why do today''s young people all talk like old men..." Etan went to himself for a while and then he said in a calm tone: "According to a poet, people make people old, not time." The detective said in surprise, "What a wise poet, what is his name?" ? Ethan thought that such a person does not exist in this world, he said, "He is not very famous. I only heard this quote and did not hear his name." Detective: "It''s a pity... Wait! Didn''t you say that humans are lonely and innocent, why did they suddenly make you old?" Etan: "The people I say are different from the people the poet says" Detective: "Does a people differ from another, what does that mean!?" Etan: "According to the poet, anyone who looks like a people is a people But in my opinion, people are no longer human when they cross a series of lines..." Detective: "Then what are they?" Ethan: "Monster" . "What!! We have to pretend in front of that boy that the murder is not the work of that serial killer. The middle-aged detective was standing in front of an officer in police uniform. The look of the officer was normal, he had a beard, but he had serious eyes And there was a companion next to him who also had the same uniform. That man had a normal face without a beard, the officer''s eyes were simple with a beard and seemed indifferent to sadness, anger or any other incident. Detective: "Stephan, after a long time of fruitless efforts, we finally came across something like a thread, do you know how angry the higher-ups are! Can you imagine the pressure we are facing?" " The officer with a beard and serious eyes, or Stefan: "But, Mr. Detective, as you know, there is a rumor among the general public that the devil takes out the eyes before the murder, but we know that taking out the eyes is for after the complete death of the victim. .. How can we tell such a lie, why should we..." Detective: "In response to the first questions, about how, heh, tell me what is the best way to lie, Stephen?" Stefan: "Looking into the other person''s eyes and talking without stuttering and with a serious tone?" Detective: "It''s just a detail, the best way to tell a lie is to put one lie in between several truths, which unconscious people are always doing... And well, about why, as you know I''m the best at reading faces, that''s why I was sent here in the first place, anyway, that boy''s face showed worry and anxiety, like he was afraid of something, not afraid of seeing a corpse. , the boy was not a coward, but a more existential fear, a fear that exists within every living being with any degree of power and is inevitable... fear of death..." Stefan: "Well, maybe he''s afraid of being targeted." Detective: "You are calling me Stephen, why if he is scared should he analyze as if it was not the work of a serial killer, apart from the fear of death his eyes also had another fear, a fear that is the result of what he wants to say but is afraid to say... Stefan: "Why don''t we just bring him back and force him to open his mouth, you know our people can make even a mute speak" Detective: "Stephen, why did you become so stupid today, if he was really hiding something, I would have opened his mouth..." Stefan: "Then why..." Detective: "You are very nervous today! ... I didn''t say it now!! who was trying to lead us to the direction that it is not the work of the devil... it is clear that everything he knows is wrong, It''s just that my senses say that the combination of this mistake and the fear of death will lead us to something, at least it''s better than what we are going around now... Anyway, send someone to watch out for him...not a weak one because there might be a conflict, watch out that a hair of that boy''s head doesn''t fall off. Stefan: "Yes sir" The detective was leaving when he realized that there was another person and he had heard all their conversations, his eyes became serious and after looking deeply at him, he stared at Stephen... A man with simple eyes: "Hello sir, seeing you again has brought light back to my dark soul, your name is heard all over the city, you are the biggest role model in my life, definitely all orders..." The detective jumped in the middle of his speech and said, "Who is this?" The simple eyes of the man showed a trace of sadness and he said: "We have met several times before, it is an honor to meet you..." The detective jumped in the middle of his speech again and said, "Can he cover his mouth or is it necessary to ...?" A man with simple eyes: "Hello sir, seeing you again has brought light back to my dark soul, your name is heard all over the country, you are the biggest role model in my life, definitely all orders..." The detective jumped in the middle of his speech and said, "Who is this?" The simple eyes of the man showed a trace of sadness and he said: "We have met several times before, it is an honor to meet you..." The detective jumped in the middle of his speech again and said, "Can he cover his mouth or is it necessary?" "I guarantee that nothing happened, sir," Stephen said quickly. The man with simple eyes: "Be sure that I will never betray you, in fact, I have always admired you, I read all your works, even your photos..." Stefan: "Cough, enough boy, bye sir, I''ll take care of everything" . . . If social stability goes pear-shaped, you have a choice between anarchy and dictatorship.
