Chereads / Supernatural Adventures of Jane Doe / Chapter 4 - Supernatural Perception

Chapter 4 - Supernatural Perception

Jane felt nauseous as she flew with Lily like luggage.

After a few seconds, Jane was unceremoniously thrown to the ground as Lily landed with no less than an explosion. She covered her eyes from the dust as it cleared, and her savior was sitting in the center of a very big and a very deep crater, dusting herself off.

"Are you insane?!" Jane screamed at her, to which Lily simply shrugged.

"I might be, but I think it's more that I need to work on my landings," was her answer. "Anyway, this is a safe zone, none of those things spawn within a 50-unit radius."

"Wait, units?"

Lily was still dusting off her shoulder pads and light chest armor as she approached the bewildered amnesiac. "I'll explain the jibberish later, for now let me take a good look at you."

She grabbed Jane's face by the chin and examined her eyes. They were black, with blue rings, and Jane stared right back at Lily's hazelnut eyes. They both noticed this and giggled. "Enjoy the view?"

"What's the point of this?" She spoke through forcefully pouted lips.

Lily let her go and examined the glassss she wore again. "The point is," she dusted off debris from the glasses, as if looking for something, "that random people like you, who apparently never take their glasses off, never enter, never perceive this nightmare, and go on with your happy lives never knowing your souls can literally get eaten by horrors beyond human comprehension."

She pointed the glasses at Jane, "I. E. You should not be here. Now why is that not the case?"

She was speechless.

"I'll tell you. Your glasses are nothing special, they're not even real glasses, but you have what we call a special trait." She moved closer to Jane, coming close, face-to-face, and the latter could feel her face burn. "Eyes of Supernatural Perception."

"Uhh..." She knew what those words meant individually, but together in a phrase in that order, it just didn't make any sense. "What does that mean?"

Lily groaned. "This means that you're part of the one in one duodecillion, I don't even know if that's a real number, that can freely cross the boundary between Gaia, the natural world, and the Spirit World."

"Oh," Jane was speechless. "Is that... All?"

"No, not even close." She appeared to think about it. "What was your name?"

"Jane Doe."

"Age?"

She froze.

"You don't know your age? Interesting."

"It's not what you think!"

Lily's eyebrow raised at that remark. "What do you think I think?"

She froze again.

"Interesting." She chuckled. "You are very interesting, Jane Doe. Alright, I'll help you. Oh stop looking dazed and confused. Here." Lily threw something at Jane, which the latter caught.

Jane looked at what she caught. It was a small button, shiny and silver. "What..."

"I'm taking you to Division 13, Supernatural Detective Agency. There's a Bounded Field..." Lily started walking, "If you don't have anything that is Cleansed, the Bounded Field will kill you immediately. That button is Cleansed, so it basically tells the field that you are human."

"That's a little over the top, isn't it?"

Lily stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked Jane in the eye. "The weakest monsters we deal with everyday can level mountains with no effort, and if we don't destroy them regularly, they can easily wipe out Humanity." Then she smiled, "And I won't get money to support my hobby. Come on, the chief should be able to explain more."

Jane was getting dizzy. She could barely keep up with Lily, but she was her only hope to move forward.
