Chapter 28 - Shadows...

"Opse that was a painful landing…"She looked not at all sorry and laughed at him merrily.

"What the.. ??? Is it your squad thing to not make a sound while coming somewhere and scare people like this"

" Ahh did someone beat me to this?" she pouts playfully and gives him a hand.

When he was about to take her hand to get up she took her hand back.

"Wha…" he falls back with a thud on the ground. 

" Lesson no. 1 for becoming a good kid … to never believe in a Goblin"

She sits on her knees and tilts her head with a smirk. 

" I am not a kid ... " he gets back up.

"Aww… but you look like one to me." She makes a funny face which further irritates Yoo In Soo. 

"Whatever… " he huffs.

"Well, this kid's heart must have been wounded a lot .."

She looks at the kid and says this which confuses Yoo In Soo. 

"What do you mean ??? There are no signs of abuse," he says checking the report again.

"I didn't mean it as external or any internal wound .. more like his heart as in his soul was wounded a lot," She says with a serious face.

" How can you say that for so sure?? "

" I am a goblin, you see. I look deep into everyone's heart desires easily and know their desires without them saying out loud ...." 

"It is strange isn't it ??" he looks at the kid and says this.

"What's so strange here kiddo? "

"Are you sure you can see someone's desire when they have crossed the bridge of death?"

" Well practically no. Since that means they already left earthly life behind and nothing in their heart … nor sorrow nor happiness "

"But I saw the kid leave with some shadows which looked like grim reapers "

" If what you saw was them… then it's impossible for me to still see his desire here …" she says, twisting her red strands between her fingers a little forcefully this time. 

"What should we do then ???"

" Let me confirm something from someone who knows these things best," she says, turning back.

"Wait a minute .. don't use the front door they have surveillance cameras here"

She opens a portal " Don't forget … I am not human like you." saying so she vanishes along with the portal.

While someone was watching it all unfold from the shadows...

" Umm.. they are fast this time they found my trick early this time… Not bad I have other cards up my sleeve anyway... let's see what you guys can do ... Hahahaha... " It makes a pout but laughs like it's enjoying everything.
