The time is 6:58 PM. And I'm on the same room as where I met Watson last night. And tonight is the first night of our work as partners. This is gonna be exciting yet deadly..
"I guess I didn't tell her the specific time..", I said to myself.
I never actually gave a specific time for Watson, but I can already feel that she's close..
2 minutes passed and the door suddenly opened slowly. And the person who opened it is none other than, Watson.
"Good thing you came Watson..", I said.
"What in the..", she said.
"Scared? I can't blame you.."
The reaction on her face is priceless. The reason for that is because I'm currently clinging above the corner of the roof using my hands and feet on the walls.
"I am scary in terms of horror. I am the Reaper after all.", I said while still clinging on the wall.
"If you want me to stay here and listen to your proposal then come down here, if you don't then I'll leave and get some sleep on my apartment.", she said.
Although not expressing anger and almost no signs of fear, her hands seem to be shaking. If this really scares her that much then I'll just come back down.
"Fine, fine.."
I let my hands and feet off the wall and fell to the floor and landed.
"You want to get straight to business huh..", I said as I walked past her.
"I want this to get over with quickly.", she said.
"You seem to forgot that we're doing this for a month right? Or is it perhaps you're doing something behind my back?"
I have to be aware, because I know by sheer thought that Watson is the type of woman who does everything in secret.
"I'm not doing anything behind your back, I only want this to end quickly today because I'm tired.", she said.
"Is that so?"
If she isn't then... Yeah, I can't believe her. I'll just put her to that test that I prepared earlier this morning.
"Looks like you're telling the truth so let's get straight to business."
I walked back to the rocking chair and sat on it.
"So what are we going to do?", she asked.
"Not too simple, yet not too difficult either. It might going to give you a bit of trauma though.."
"Just say it."
"If you're that pushy then I'll tell you."
I bent my back down as I looked at her seriously then put my hands down while holding each other and said..
"We're killing people."
"Huh...?"
"You wanted to get straight to business right? Then that's it, we're killing people."
I want to stay in the overworld more but if I come back to the Underworld with only Watson at hand, then my Empress will be disappointed in me.. No.. She'll definitely get angry because I stayed on the overworld more than scheduled. And I don't want to have a piece of her Wrath.
"You're confused aren't you? Then allow me to explain."
Watson seemed a bit confused as to what I just said so I'll explain it to her..
I suddenly stood up and went towards a barricaded window and looked straight outside.
"By killing people, we're only going to kill the criminals. Since that's what you do right?, Imprisoning them.. But what if they're ruling the prison instead of being punished? Are they going to change? No, right? Then that's why we're only going to kill the criminals."
I have 0 clue of what Watson thinks about the prisoners. Are they evil or bad on her perspective or are they just humans to her that made a decision that made them astray? I guess I'll find that out now..
"Do you still don't get it Watson?", I asked after not getting a response from her.
"I get what you mean. But what do you get from this?", she asked.
"Only one. And that is their souls."
1 soul for 1 Reaper, but if I acquire more than 1 soul in a month. Then there's a chance for me to get promoted in the Underworld.
"So, are you up for the task Watson?", I asked.
I gave her time to think things through, but after some time she eventually gave her response which is..
"Fine. I'll do it."
"Excellent! Then, shall we find our first target?", I asked while feeling joy.
"Sure, let's go."
Everything is definitely going smoothly, and any second now.. The subjects should arrive.
I glanced at the window to check if the subjects have finally arrived, and they have.
"Oh wait, we already found some..", I said as I purposely looked outside the window.
She walked towards my side and took a look at what's going on outside. By the time she saw it and realized it, her expression changed from being serious to getting.... Shocked.
"I have to go there!"
As she was about to go out the door, I grabbed her by her shoulder to stop her and said..
"Watch and listen.", I said in whisper to her ear.
She walked back towards the window and watched the show that I prepared.
This also proves that it works on her.
After a few minutes of observation, a gunshot happened from outside. It can be heard from a radius of 50 meters.
"What the...", she said.
Watson started to shake in fear and she really wants to go out that badly huh..
Suddenly Watson ran towards the door but I stopped her by asking..
"What are you going to do Watson? Put them in prison?"
"Of course I'll put them in prison! What do you expect me to do?!", she asked.
"Aren't they the perfect test subjects??"
"W-What are you saying...?"
"Those two men cornered a woman and killed the woman, and killing a person is a SIN! Even if they were put in prison they'll still do the same thing after they get out."
As I said those words, I slowly walked closer to her to use my skill on her again.
"Th-They can change in prison! I just have to-", she said as she's stuttering.
As Watson was about to open the door, I was able to reach it just in time and closed it.
I leaned my head towards her ear and whispered..
"This is the perfect chance to eliminate the sinners, and put them to HELL."
Watson then started to act without speaking.
As I thought, my skill definitely works on her. And here I thought she was different, but I guess... She's not.
Watson suddenly dashed towards the window and jumped out of the window breaking the barricade without any hesitation.
I decided to stay and wait at the room and lean on the wall beside the window.
*BANG*
It took a few minutes but the first gunshot finally resounded through the area.
"One man down..."
The next gunshot didn't take a few minutes, it only took a few seconds and then..
*BANG!*
"And another one down.."
'Looks like it's time for me to get out..', I thought to myself.
After getting out by the window and gliding down successfully. I greeted Watson a congratulations for doing such an incredible job.
"GOOD WORK, WATSON!"
I said as I clapped my hands and getting closer to the scene of the crime.
And as I arrived, I checked and counted the bodies and it seems like everything went as I planned.
I did something with my skill called Reaper's Whisper. It's a skill that most Reaper's have and it allows us to brainwash a human being and controlling them psychologically.
It doesn't work on superhumans, but the fact that it works on Watson means that she's just an ordinary human being.
But I wonder why the Empress wants to eliminate her..
Watson was about to say something but she's also shaking, so I had to reassure her that everything is going to be fine.
"Don't worry, this place is well hidden so there's definitely no one who can find this.", I said close to her.
After telling that to her, I took 3 Death's Tarots and reaped their soul from their body and trapped it inside the cards.
After doing that I checked on Watson but she still hasn't spoke anything but she's still shaking.
"I already took 3 of their souls, so first job complete.", I said.
"Th-Thr-Three...?"
Oh yeah, I only said that there were two criminals earlier huh..
Well I guess I'll just have to tell her.
"Oh.. I forgot to tell you.. The two men are innocent, they only cornered the woman because the woman.. Is the true sinner.", I said.
My plan began by morning when I used my skill on a random woman to steal from the 2 guys that just died by Watson's hands.
I also ordered the woman to kill the 2 mens father which resulted the two men to feel anger and wanted to avenge their father.
Which resulted to the situation earlier..
The two men were still clean until the 1st guy killed the woman, the 2nd guy didn't really have a sin but Watson killed her immediately so that's that.
Watson began shaking even more as if she's about to lose it.
"Well done Watson. You may now rest, because tomorrow evening.. Is the 2nd night of the job.", I said in whisper.
After whispering that to her, she immediately collapsed down and fell unconscious.
I ordered her to fall asleep and also I ordered her to be loyal to me for a month as she was unconscious but she can definitely still hear me. I had to do this to reassure myself that she won't do anything behind my back.
And no human has been able to break this skill of mine..
"We're going to have one hell of a month, Watson."
And so, the beginning of our partnership has started.
