Caution: The content of [ In The Flesh #3]
and [In the Flesh #4] are the same part. but they got split into 2 chapters. And the story between these 2 chapters is continuing. If you skip some of the texts, it may lead you to the huge confusion. ( Not count the grammar).
Moving in behind the black gate.
It was the path leading all the way down.
Syd and Jody put the guard's Body behind the gate not to let the other spot it.
" It's almost 10 minutes. Before we go down. A sticky situation may happen. I will do the swapping on your legs again."
When he finished saying. Syd used his power on Jody's legs and a metal gate bars. So the time on his ability to swap will last longer.
Both then starts to follow the path down.
" Be careful. There may be traps set for the invaders." Said Syd.
2 Sides of the wall were decorated with a luxurious lamp all the way.
It was like they were in some luxurious place of rich people.
The more they approach, the more they hear the sound of people talking. And finally, they saw Father Peter.
" Get behind that pillar."
Syd wiggles his hand.
Jody nods and does what he said instantly.
Now they were spying Father Peterson and his people from the back of pillows behind them.
This is a secret meeting room of Saint paul's Cathedral.
The basement is professionally decorated with yellow lights and golden things.
" This is the affluent area. Where Father Peter usually discusses business with his business partner."
The A.I. in the earbud says.
Father Peter sat down on the luxurious chair in the middle of the meeting room.
In front of him was a big long table with many stuff like fruits, beautiful glasses, Alcoholic drinks, candles, a Fishtank... and etc, are placed on.
"I invite you for having a seat."
Said Saint Peter in mannerism.
" Honestly. If not to avoid any suspicion, I won't wear this."
One of the nuns steps out. She then sits on the opposite side of the table.
่She took the veil off, Revealing the face of a high school girl. Seraphina Gilmour.
" !?!?!? "
"What the ?! What the hell is she doing here? "
Jody is shocked and confused.
Syd feels just a little surprised.
" hoo... I did not expect that." He says.
" We don't have time. Peterson will go out for another meeting at 21:00 and it's now 20:40 If we wait for Seraphina to leave, the mission may fail."
A voice of a woman in Syd's earbud said to him.
Sera puts the veil aside. Then begins the discussion.
" Bring it out."
Father Peter turns to his worker.
They brought up the statue of Maria, the person who gave birth to Jesus.
One can tell that this statue has something that stands out.
Because it was made of 80% gold.
" This is a golden madonna, mademoiselle. Made of 80% pure gold.
She was made around 1700 by the Great Nobles of England. It is the real golden madonna with no doubt. I'm sure that this item could please your mother very well."
Saint Peter said.
" Real or fake, I'll judge," Sera said.
" As you pleased." The saint smirks.
Sera brought up a lighter from her pocket. She lits up the fire.
The gold on the statue melts down a little and drops on Sera's finger.
She turned off the lighter and put it back in her pocket.
A pink-black Aura, radiating from Sera's body.
"hmm. It is as true as your flexes, Father peter." Said Sera.
" So, how do you think about it? If you are pleased with this product of ours. The shipping can begin in 2 days."
Father Peter said.
" No need to discuss." Sera pulls up her phone, showing it to father peter.
" The deposit is already sent to the account. 50 million pounds. "
Sera said.
" Oh... It was my honor to make a business with you mademoiselle Gilmour. we'll begin shipping immediately."
" Another 200 million will be following up when I the statue in front of my door" Sera said.
" Understood. Lady Gilmour. Let us head out."
Sera took back a veil and put it back on her head. She then stood up, and about to leave.
But then...
**roll** *roll* *roll*
Sera spotted 3 rolling golf balls on the ground coming up to her way.
" !? "
F L A S H ! !!
" Ekk?! - " Sera closed her eyes due to the extremely bright lights coming out of this ball.
Zipp! ! ! ! !
Workers and Nuns got blown away at once. Their body hit the surroundings and fall to the ground. Death instantly.
" What the fuck?! "
Father Peter went panic.
" You fucking Bitch!!! What the fuck have you done?! " he says to Sera.
" Air Bullets. How to use is aiming your finger at the target and use your ability to kick the bullet out. But I never say that you can only use 1 finger to aim. "
Jody said while lifting up all her 5 fingers. With this, she can take down the multiple targets at once up to the number of fingers she points at them.
The scenario happened in the blink of an eye.
After the flashes went out, Sera opened her eyes
She found that Father Peterson's crews are already dead.
Turning her face back, Sera found that there is a person with the clown masks and dress like a robbery standing next to Father Peter.
The person then smashes the fist on Father Peter's face.
It was severe enough to make him bleed from the head.
That person then smashes the Father's head down to the table.
Bam ! ! !
This doesn't make Seraphina scared or anything. She looks around herself, finding that the only person breathing in the room now was Father Peter, this robber and Sera herself.
" Trading contraband goods? A bit surprised but reasonable enough to be on the list."
The robber said.
" Who the fuck are you? " Sera asked the person.
Nothing comes out from the robber's mouth.
He wiggles his hand and then another robber walked out behind the Pillar.
" You've locked the door?"
another robber didn't reply, she nods instead.
" Keep an eye on him. If he moves, beat his ass." Said the Robber.
Sera noticed that another Robber is a bit shorter than this talking one.
They noded to each other, the silent one went next to The Father's body. Then the talking one walks up to Sera.
"Now. This was a bit surprising for both of us."
(.... A man's voice... So he's a man...) Sera thought.
" What do you want...? " Asked Sera.
She then slowly walked backward. The man followed her.
" We have a little business with Father Peterson right there. However, since my business with him should end in like 20:30 but it is you who waste our time. Sorry for the interrupting. But Mr.Winston Wolf, A character in Mr.Quentin Tarantino's famous film, Pulp Fiction, once said
//Time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you want to get out of here.//
And right now, I'm doing the same thing, Lady. I think fast, I act fast, and I'm about to leave this place."
" So if you don't mind. I need you to surrender. In exchange, we'll make you sleep. No harm like these people, I promise."
He asked Sera.
"I'm impressed with that mannerism. However, I refuse."
Suddenly, A random wall has instantly launched up from under Syd's foot,
Bringing him up to squeeze him against the ceiling, however, Syd rolls himself out of that wall before he got squeezed and landed on the same side as Seraphina.
The wall has divided the room into 2 sides. A side with Jody and Father Peter and a side with Sera and Syd.
The wall is big enough to block Syd from Jody. So that means he is out of support.
"...." Syd turns back and knows that Sera has already split him from Jody.
" I'll take you first. Then the one outside." Said Sera, radiating a threatening aura.
" You choose this yourself, women!"
Syd dashes himself towards Sera.
He was fast, very fast.
Sera tried to avoid getting touched by him. However, her speed couldn't win against that.
Syd grabs her wrist, pulls it closer, and about to punch her face. However...
"! "
As he realized. There's something grabbing his legs from the under.
Glaring down, He saw that they were a "Hands"
The human hands... From the ground.
So many of them.
They pull down his legs.
!!!!
Syd's entire body falls down due to the forces he couldn't resist. Making him release Sera.
She then runs to the opposite side of the room they're fighting.
Keeping a distance between her and Syd.
" OHHHHHHH!!!!!????? "
The random hands grabbing Syd in many ways, he's struggling not to let them approach his face.
" Last chance!! Surrender or These hands will rip off your entire body!!" Sera shouted.
Syd is still struggling.
" I'm saying LAST CHANCE! " Sera shouted.
Syd is still trying to get out of there.
" Okay. Then."
P O P !!!!
A sound of something flying off, coming from Syd.
He stops moving.
" Arrogance bastard." Sera looks at his body.
" The hands broke off his bones. But he didn't make any scream. So this means they broke his neck... Or other death spots that make him die instantly." Said Sera, slowly approaching The body.
"Now... Another one outside---"
Sera is about to continue but suddenly she realized something wrong.
"!!!!!!"
The sweat coming out from her forehead.
" H...H...His Pulse! It's still beating?! "
Sera instantly jumped away from the body she thought he was dead, but it's too late. Because the man had grabbed her leg.
" !?!?? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? RIP HIM APART!!!!"
Sera screamed in confused.
The hands are trying to squeeze his neck, break his legs, or even snap his fingers apart. But it couldn't.
"... What the..? What is happening?! Like it was trying to break steel?!... Is he wearing the steel suit inside?... No... It's impossible to move like that while wearing such that heavy thing! "
" What happened? Where's your confidence now?"
Syd asked Sera. He pulls her down to the ground while Syd himself is getting up.
" Ackkkk!!!! " Sera's body hit the ground harshly.
Glaring up to Syd, she saw a bottle of liquid had been ripped.
" The Bottle?! ----"
" Yes. Women. The bottle of Liquor on the meeting table! I just take it with me."
" Y...You bastard!!! That pop sound!.... It was a bottle?!?! "
" I just brought it up and gave it to those hands of yours. So they destroy it."
Next to the bottle, Sera saw the cork.
She understands everything now.
(....That was the sound of the cork flying off ??!?!? ...This Bastard!!! He tricked me!!!!...)
" AAAAAAAHHH!!!! " Sera tried to punch his face, but instead, it was herself that got hurt.
" AAAAAAAGHHH.... H..His body?! HIS BODY IS THICK AS A BRICK?!?! "
(... Little did she know. I swap the properties of the wall she summoned and my flesh. So these creepy hands can't rip me off. And I have swapped the properties of a liquor bottle and the rubber band I got...So when it got squeezed, it wasn't any different from squeezing the balloon and make the cork flew off! ...)
