Chereads / Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil / Chapter 16 - Totally Normal

Chapter 16 - Totally Normal

Void's memories were over and Pablo took a deep breath. His brain was finally free from the pain.

TIP!

TIP!

"Hmm?" Pablo looked at the ground below him.

There were a few drops of water.

"I am…" He instantly touched his eyes. "Crying?"

Pablo's eyes were wet. After watching all the memories, his eyes found water in them.

"It's this boy who is crying. I see. I can't remember the last time I cried."

Pablo wiped his tears and focused on Freya again.

"You were both the children of a prostitute. She threw both of you out and since then, this boy took care of you and today, he watched you getting raped. If it were someone other than me, anyone would have puked sorrow from their eyes."

Pablo covered Freya's face again with her hair.

"Those five men though. I need to find them. This kid didn't even know them. I also need to understand this Ego thing." Pablo made a mental note and finally stood up from the ground.

He still kept his eyes on Freya. "I will burn you later, girl. Your brother is dead. It's all me now and I don't really care that much."

Pablo turned around and walked towards the exit of the hut.

And as soon as he stepped outside the hut…

SHING!

A blinding white light arrived in front of him.

"Shit. An attack?" Pablo jumped to his left but surprisingly, the white light stayed in the same place as before.

Pablo stood up and stared at the light.

He guarded his face with his hands and waited for something to happen.

It was night and there was darkness all around and this only made the white light appear brighter than ever.

"Is it a flash bomb? I don't think such things exist here." Pablo guessed many things and watched the light to do something.

"Come on. Do something." Pablo complained and the next second, the light finally started to become dim.

Pablo waited and after ten seconds, the light was no more and in its place was a girl with wings.

Pablo's brows shot up. "Don't tell me you are Freya's soul? I can see souls now?"

The girl in front of her radiated white aura around her and she was floating in the air. She wore a white dress and her wings were white as well. There was also a white halo behind her head and Pablo could only think of her as Freya's soul.

"I am not her soul, Human. I am an Angel. It's normal." The girl spoke. Her voice was beautiful just like her face.

Pablo heard the girl and took one step back.

"Yeah. An Angel in the middle of the night. Totally normal."

"Don't joke, Human." The Girl said. "Goddess Alfida sent me to stay with you. This is my true form and you are lucky to witness this."

This girl was the same light that Alfida sent just after Pablo had left for Seraphim.

[[A/n : See her. Here.]]

"Where were you all this time?" Pablo asked.

"I was watching you from the sky. I know all about Void Grief and when I saw that you didn't care about that little girl, I finally came to meet you."

"I see. But why did she send you here anyway?"

"To keep you in check. To make sure you focus on completing the task given to you by the Gods. To make sure you don't go astray." The Angel revealed.

Pablo, however, scoffed. "To keep me in check? Angel, do you not know who I am?"

"I don't. I just know the same things the people of Earth know about you. The Gods didn't tell me anything more about you. They just sent me here to keep a record of your doings here." The Angel revealed again.

"I see. So if I told you to go away, would you go?"

"No."

"But what if someone else heard you talking? Heck what if someone saw you?"

"Don't worry. Only you can see and hear me. No one else can see, hear and even touch me unless I want them to. And this includes you too. You can't touch me either without my wish."

The Angel had a serene smile on her face and she talked with her pleasant voice. Pablo really thought of her as an Angel.

"I understand. What's your name?" He asked.

"Cupid." The Angel replied with the same smile and voice.

"Cupid, huh. Where's your blind fold and bow and strings?"

Cupid's brows twitched but she kept her smile intact. "I don't do that. And only my name is Cupid."

Pablo nodded. "And earlier, you said you will keep a record of my doings. How will you do that?"

Cupid waved her right hand in the air and a book with a golden cover appeared on her hand.

"I will write about your daily life here. Everything you do. Good and bad. If you do good, then it's good for you and if you do bad, then it's bad for you."

Pablo stared at the diary and reached out his hand.

But he went past Cupid and touched nothing but air.

"You can't touch me, Human. Haha." Cupid laughed but her smile remained serene.

Pablo gave a slow nod. "The diary seems like a pain. I will deal with it one day."

At this, Cupid showed her tongue at Pablo. In simple words, the Angel mocked Pablo.

"So much for an Angel." He commented and went through Cupid again.

He walked down the road and constantly moved his head left and right.

Cupid was behind him and he could only see huts everywhere.

There were clothes on all the huts acting as doors and when the wind blew, he even saw inside of some of the huts.

The wind blew again and Pablo saw inside some huts again.

And he stopped in front of one such hut.

The hut was on his right side and he squinted his eyes, looking carefully inside that hut.

And after getting a good look, he started walking again.

Cupid saw all that and had a frown on her face. Her serene smile threatened to leave her lips.

"What are you trying to do? What are you even doing?" She finally asked. Also, the golden diary was open in front of her and on it a white feather moved constantly as words were getting written on its first page.

Pablo didn't turn around, and answered, "I am hungry. I am looking for food. This kid had nothing to eat at his home. Maybe I could find something in the trash. Like old times."

"What? Your sister is dead and you are looking for food? Don't you want revenge? Shouldn't you be looking for those five rapists?" Cupid threw a barrage of complaints and her serene smile finally vanished. The diary was still getting filled though.

Pablo heard her and finally stopped walking.

"First of all, she is not 'my' sister. And second, those five rapists…"

He turned around, faced Cupid and with a straight face, he continued saying…

"I already found them."
