Five days later, Cosmos and Pollux were still in the town and the presence of the demon was growing stronger.
But the civilians couldn't sense it, neither could Pollux so you can imagine the danger everyone would be in the moment the demon is allowed to roam.
So many people would die at it's hands, but that wasn't the reason Pollux wanted to kill it. He couldn't care less about those people and he could run away from here any moment he felt he was in danger.
He received a very interesting piece of news, it turns out if he somehow manages to kill the demon it's heart would make him a lot stronger and to Pollux who was absolutely gunning for revenge nothing sounded sweeter.
Thus they came up with the plan to slowly poison the person the demon was going to posses, so that when the demon eventually takes over the body will be mostly useless.
Now the problem was to find poison that is very difficult to trace and also they would have to get close to the person without people suspecting. Because this kind of thing couldn't be done with just one person, there had to a group or something like that behind the demon summoning.
'You'll help me trace the energy so we can find the person bring sacrificed'. Pollux said to Cosmos who had gone back to speaking from inside his head
'What's the plan for when you find the person'. Cosmos asked him to see if the kid had thought that far ahead.
'I can use the excuse of being new to ask questions and hopefully that'll make people less suspicious, because I feel that's what people who come to a new environment usually do so it won't feel out of place'.
'The problem is I don't know how to ask around so it doesn't seem like I'm over doing it'. Pollux said dropping all of his plans out.
'Well let's get there first' Cosmos said
So with that they left the house and started walking in the direction Cosmos felt the presence of the demon strongest.
On that day, they walked around the town passed a lot of houses and businesses where they sold all kind of stuff. Sometimes Pollux would pretend to be interested in some of the things they're selling so it won't look too suspicious.
After some time Pollux discovered that he needed money if he wanted to survive, he couldn't keep stealing food because that's how he's been feeding for the past few days.
Cosmos told him they should think about that later so they can focus on finding the person first. But Pollux had a different idea.
'Think of it this way, if I have a work I'm doing, it would make it easier for us to finish our work'.
'How'? Cosmos asked but he would never have imagined the next words he was going to hear.
'Sigh, I thought old people are supposed to be smart how come you think like a six year old. Is it that you're that dull or you just decide not to use your brain most times'.
If Cosmos had a physical body you would be able to see the amount of disbelief present on his face, it was like he never expected something like that.
And to make matters worse, Pollux next words seemed to seal his fate
'Finally, the old man is quiet' Pollux said with another sigh sounding like he was really tired.
