I ask myself what is life? Why am I even breathing the air? I'm an unworthy person who just coincidentally got a higher position in the department. I wonder if I ever did anything to gain this post? The uneasiness filled my mind whenever I think about that.
"Mr. Lukas! Mr. Lukas. Don't….die…on. Me.."
That unhappy kid who didn't want me to die in peace yelled while making CPR on my chest. Was he an idiot? I suppose.
"It is just a waste of time, Reyes. Stop now."
"No! I won't…."
"Remember Reyes, I asked you on your first that How does being killed taste like. Now I have the answer to that question." To be honest, I still don't know exactly how it tastes but I got the points.
"It's….it's .. nostalgic."
Reyes, who was sobbing as if his life was torn open.
"Mr. Lukas! I know that answer….now …."
"I just told you…"
"Look, Reyes, I made him the monster he is now." Pointing my index finger at the raging Dercy. "The child-like face had shattered into bits making him a true inhuman devil. I made the same old mistake once again. But Reyes, don't make the mistake I made. You are the only one. The one who can make him go back to his usual self." Reyes was watching Dercy who was currently fighting Fiona upside-down battlefield. Even if I don't want to admit that that monster was my fault, it is still me who pushes him to the edge.
"Don't be shy, Just bite it off."
The cruelty Dercy was showing was unbelievable. But I wasn't a bit surprised because I know who he is and what is he.
"Wait! This isn't …..you said….. only one…. ability…"
"Did you actually believed a monster? You made a fool of yourself, missy."
The bright evil teeth weren't hiding his dark side. Believe it or not, he had truly become a danger for the human world and I was the one….and...I was...the one to unleash him. All of this is happening because of me. I remember the words Noah told me.
"People change but their habits never change and you have a habit of making mistakes." He was probably right. After all, I did the same thing that I did years ago.
Today I understand the situation I was the one who made it different for Noah and others. Nothing but I was the obstacle in their way of success.
"When I die, go to my house and take the files….."
"Don't say like that…Please don't leave me alone...I promise I won't slack off." His bitter crying made me more miserable.
"After all, you have to do it…. You're are not an intern now. From today onward you're a full-figure detective…." My voice was slowly dimming in the dark as the unspeakable death was kicking on my door.
"The wait is over angel of death" without a pause he continued, "Sayonara, Bit*h"
Dercy had ended the life of Fiona with the most grudge in some way. I felt like I saw a bird flying out of her body. It was white and transparent. Is it the soul? Or am I just hallucinating?
At that very moment, I felt a sudden impact on my chest. It wasn't any physical impact rather an internal pain.
Puffing my chest a similar white bird came out and I breathe for the last time.
"Mr. Lukas?" Reyes shook his body for the last attempt but deep inside he knew it wasn't any use.
"I... I'll... definitely... fulfilled your last wish…." Reyes had broken into tears.
That moment of reinforcement came from the police department. There were a lot of them. Reyes who was crying over Mr. Lukas's body didn't notice it until they called out.
"Reyes?" The one who asked was a superior officer with body armor as if he was ready to fight with his life. Reyes slowly upfront his head with teary eyes. "Mr. Lukas...is...dead" he didn't need to explain to anyone. The superior officer was more than shocked. "Are you right on your mind?" It's natural that they didn't want to believe it in one go but Reyes confirmed it as he nodded his head.
The indescribable detective is dead? That was indeed in a matter of surprise. Of course, no one wants to believe it. Whether they envy Mr. Lukas for his achievements or not is another case. The detective who was known for his bravery and courage is now dead?
"Who did it?" The officer asked with a serious tone. He must have admired Mr. Lukas just as Reyes do or even more. Reyes averted his sights towards the fight that was going.
"The monsters"
Following his sights, the officer shouted.
"I don't care if you die or not! My men Fight!" Saying that he went on board in the direction of Kurama.
The sinister grin on Kurama's mouth was lit.
"Don't you dare to touch my pry," Dercy said with a ragging voice. He got down on the ground and sliced the first half of the men's. The officer who had no idea who he was dealing with stepped back in fear.
Of course, it was a human Instinct. Humans often try to run away when there's danger. Just like that the offer had already shown his weakness. His army went from a hundred to ten in a slit of a minute.
"Huh?" Unable to understand anything the officer looked at dumbfounded eyes.
"Ah~ you're not so welcome," Dercy took a step forward him
Even though the men were shooting high-powered lessers at him there were hardly any effects.
"As he said I'm his prey so you should leave me alone. Will you officer? Otherwise, you want your insides shattered all over." The sinister grin on Kurama's face brought fear to the officer's face. Until now he was raging with fire to avenge Mr. Lukas's death but when he saw the remains of Fiona everywhere his eyes had frozen in place.
"Sir! Sir!" Behind him were his underlings shouting as they had already been on the verge of defeat.
