Death was not what Luci wanted. And killing wasn't something she wanted to do either.
Whether it's killing strangers, foreigners, people she knew, relatives, lovers, even enemies. Luci was not a religious girl, but she did know one thing. That was, what you sow, that is what you will harvest later.
Daniel's death was a disgrace and a thorn that Luci had pierced into her own body. Those disgraces and thorns had turned into demons and had given Luci fear and worry about the life she was currently living. If humans could live happily after death, and if someone could guarantee it then Luci would prefer to die right now.
What she had was useless, but that didn't mean Luci had to end it all just because she lost to endure the test that the heavens had given her.
Failure would always come, it would always be there. Opportunities would also come. Humans would get it every time that it was running. But all were covered by human despair and they were reluctant to go forward, they were too complacent.
Despair was always there, Luci also felt it, every time. But Luci didn't want to give up and stopped now. One day Luci would meet Daniel. And Luci insisted on meeting her lover in a happy and fine state.
"Hah," groaned her, taking a deep breath.
The bathroom water had been turned off by Luci. The entire time she took a shower her thoughts drifted to Daniel, then to a sense of despair that assaulted her. Luci always thought everything through, and Luci often brought it all up to make her more energetic in life.
Spider bought Luci a gray T-shirt. At first, Luci didn't order a pair of pants, but Spider bought them too. The pants were made of levis, which was dark blue. Wasn't this too gloomy? But that's exactly what Luci wanted. Life went on, but Luci wanted to keep reminiscing about what had happened to her so far.
"Smart Ider! He also chose clothes for me. I like the clothes," Luci muttered to herself.
It turned out that Spider was waiting for Luci outside the Medical Sky hospital bathroom. With his white shirt rolled up to his elbows, Spider leaned his body against the outer wall of the hospital bathroom. When he saw Luci who had just come out, Spider seemed to jump for joy.
"Oh my, you're finally coming out! Why is your bath taking so long, Bee? I thought you passed out inside," Spider chirped to Luci, who was currently glaring at finding Spider who was outside the bathroom.
"What is -? Why are you standing here and waiting for me? How about Hans?" Luci's comments were punctuated by a reasonable protest.
"Hans? He's fine in the treatment room. The doctor has come out and said that Hans should get plenty of rest," Spider replied, explaining to Luci in the softest voice possible.
"So the doctor's out? God, why did you let him out?" Lucie scolded. Luci couldn't stay still any longer. Because Luci wanted to know how Hans' chronology got out of here. Was it purely an evil plan from Aunt Arum, or was there interference from the Evil side?
"Hey, what's wrong? So what? Do you want to talk to the doctor? But Hans is fine," prevented Spider who this time gripped Luci's wrist tightly.
This was the umpteenth time Spider had touched Luci's skin, touched Luci's hand. But somehow every sensation of vibration and swish in his chest could not be shaken off. For Spider, Luci was an explosive trigger in his heart that could make him throb and explode.
There had been no reaction or response from Luci. Even she right now was looking like to be considering something.
When Luci was too deep in thought, without realizing it Spider had combed further Luci's current figure. Luci was solid and plump, everything was imprinted perfectly and naturally. Her height was also normal. However, people would often say that Luci was taller than she seemed.
In appearance, Luci looked tiny but sexy. But when her height was measured, she was quite tall too. Not to mention that her biceps were very strong, that's because Luci's daily physical activity was filled with training and exercise.
Working in a field that had immeasurable risks like this must make Luci smart to take care of herself. If it wasn't Luci who did it then who else?
"I want to ask the doctor how Hans came to be in the Evil Fort. Is this all Aunt Arum's plan, or is there an intervention from the hospital?" said Luci with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Aunt Arum?" asked Spider. He did not know the name of Hans' mother.
"She's Hans' stepmother."
"So what are you thinking right now? I mean what makes you so worried that you want to ask the doctor? Do you think the doctor knows all the trouble in this hospital?" Spider asked a tough question.
Luci thought about the question. Actually what Spider said made sense too. Doctors couldn't know all the incidents in the hospital, especially doctors who worked on shifts in the morning, it was very impossible. But that was the only person Luci could ask because the nurses and information staff didn't seem to know much more.
"So, what should I do?" fretted Luci with apparent confusion.
Spider sighed. He clenched his fists firmly. The people, the nurses, the doctors passed by Spider with trepidation. They would nod and duck as they passed Spiders. But Spider didn't answer their nod, Spider didn't have time for that.
"You can ask me, what exactly do you want to know? Maybe I can help you a little." Spider offers his help.
But Luci did not give a positive response, but the opposite. Luci frowned slightly and started to seem to think that Spider was a bit overreacting here. Naturally, if Luci was thinking that way. Luci thought, how could she possibly ask Spider when Spider had nothing to do with this place, let alone the kidnapping of Hans last night.
"How can you ask me to ask you? You don't even know what happened to Hans last night. Hans was kidnapped and brought to the Evil Fort. But the hospital said that Hans had been transferred to another hospital. That's very strange," said Luci then began to think hard.
'Spider, how could you know all that?' That's what Luci always wondered in her mind. Even though Spider seemed to be related to the dark world, Spider didn't seem to have that kind of power, to the point that the hospital's incidents were elite enough in this city for Spider to find out. What exactly did Spider mean then?
Right now Spider made a mysterious smile. He had many secrets within him until now.
Back when Spider had left the Dusky family's residence, he had to die alone in the forest because he was abandoned by the family.
Maybe Spider was expected to die because he didn't get help, or Spider was expected to die because he was eaten by wild animals. But it turned out that fate was on Spider's side. The boy was found by the hunters in the forest. The hunter then took Spider to their home. Then they worked Spider like a slave in their house.
Then finally the hunter's house was attacked by other people. All the occupants of the house were slaughtered without a trace.
