Home/ Devil / Chapter 118

It was pitch black outside the door.

However, this was nothing to the demons, so Naji still walked out.

He was a little thirsty and remembered that there was a water dispenser outside the door, so he went straight to that location.

However——

Just as he had walked about a dozen steps, Naji suddenly stopped.

Moving to the blind spot closest to him in an instant, Naji stared straight ahead, and his body couldn’t help shaking.

What kind of deterrent force is that!

Naji may be short-sighted and his observation ability is not sharp, but all of this is based on his own extremely powerful ability.

He was born with innate abilities and his strength allowed him to live without fear in his heart. So far, he had not visited many places and only left Yefar this time to come to Lugman city. However, on the lower level fighting platform, Naji never had the opportunity to encounter any demons that could intimidate him. Even if he had just been surrounded by a group of demons in the house, Naji still didn’t feel anything at that time.

Being pulled behind by Ji Huan, Naji enjoyed the feeling of being protected at that moment.

He kept staring at Ji Huan’s back, occasionally looking at Abu, while immersed in his own thoughts.

At that time, Naji was still not afraid.

Until now—

Naji, who had never tasted the feeling of fear in his life, finally felt the meaning of fear that penetrated deep into the marrow of his bones!

The moment he hid in the corner, Naji felt that he couldn’t move at all, and the air seemed to become sticky in an instant, and Naji felt that he was actually trapped in this corner by the air!

This was not the most frightening thing, the air that seemed to have substance in it was inhaled by him.

Just like drowning, Naji felt like he couldn’t breathe.

Suffocation——

The prolonged suffocation made Naji’s mind go blank, his thin body trembling even more intensely, with sweat pouring out of his pores like a stream!

The young demon thought of death for a moment.

He will die!

He will die here!

The blood vessels on his arm exploded to an astonishing thickness, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, making meaningless sounds from his throat!

At this moment, hidden in the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded.

Someone! ! ! ! There are people here! ! ! ! !

“Your name is Naji?”

The sound wasn’t loud, but it was very clear.

When it permeated through the thick air layer by layer, passing through countless cells and was finally received by Naji’s auditory nerve, Naji did not recognize whose voice it was at first.

“I’ve seen your match records from the Saroye Fighting Arena. You have great strength and good speed.” The voice was neither urgent nor slow, neither sharp nor too deep, and it was very pleasant to hear.

Ah… he remembered…. he remembered whose voice it was.

That person is——

With black hair and black eyes, Naji stared at the darkest place in front of him. Although he couldn’t see it, he knew that the demon was there!

That person is the demon called Ah Jin by Ji Huan!

Naji finally identified the owner of the voice!

Then, the voice seemed even further away from him.

His eyes were white, and Naji’s eyeballs burst with thin strands of blood. He felt like he was about to lose control.

However, the voice was still slowly speaking to him:

“I am also the operator of a fighting arena now. To be honest, I still have very high hopes for you.”

“Just now Laura gave me the contracts left by the other operators. I have read them again. How about this, the contract with the best conditions among them, I will also add an extra million gold bars to it?”

“Come on, put your fingerprint on this contract, and tell Ji Huan and that old demon tomorrow that you want to stay and work for me…”

“I didn’t ask Laura to buy your ticket, it’s just about right.”

That gentle voice that made Naji a little envious kept talking, and then, Naji felt that he started to move forward uncontrollably!

The air in front of him was even thicker. It was as if he was walking inside reinforced concrete. With each step, Naji could almost hear the sound of his own blood vessels bursting.

“I…” Naji’s mouth was wide open, with saliva flowing out. Struggling to resist the pulling force, Naji stuttered out a word.

 “I…don’t want…to stay…in the fighting arena…” Speaking became the most painful thing. With every word spoken, Naji’s vitality passed away. When the last word “arena” was spoken, his teeth were already stained with blood.

“Why? With such power, the fighting arena is the most suitable place for you. You don’t have to worry about your own power hurting others, let alone killing them. In fact, you will soon find that in this place, the more you kill people, the more others will fear you, and you will be appreciated more by the fighting arena operators, while also making a lot of money.”

“How suitable is this profession for you?”

“Why don’t you join? Did that old man refuse to let you?” The voice continued, analyzing earnestly, like the persuasion of a devil.

The voice was still gentle, but Naji could no longer feel any warmth in that voice.

This demon is dangerous!

Very dangerous!

Naji’s eyes were almost protruding, and the pressure on his body grew stronger. He knelt down on the floor with a plop, and there was a white shadow on the dark ground.

It’s the contract that person mentioned! That person wants him to press his fingerprint on it! Once the fingerprint is pressed, there would be no way to leave——

Naji trembled, and his mouth flattened.

“No……”

With all his strength, he once again said “no” to the demon opposite him.

“It’s not…Adan…”

“It’s me…I…I don’t want to…”

“I don’t want to stay here.”

“Ha—— then what do you want to do? Is there anything you want to do?” The man let out a low laugh in his throat, resembling a sneer: “What can you do with a murder weapon like yourself.”

This last sentence was almost an affirmative sentence.

Nothing could be seen clearly in front of him, and Naji felt hot as damp liquid flowed out of his eyes, nostrils, and ears.

He couldn’t tell whether it was tears, snot, or blood.

In the last moment of resistance, he exhausted his last bit of strength and said the first sentence of his life without stuttering:

“I want to learn cooking from Ji Huan!”

“Ji Huan…Ji Huan said that I am very talented in cooking, I want to learn how to cook from him! Then…. and then open a barbecue stall to sell barbecue in the future!”

Naji yelled out his ideals that have been deeply hidden in his heart for the past few days!

Blood, tears, sweat, saliva, snot—

Naji’s whole body was filled with all kinds of dirty liquids, and the moment he finished yelling these words, his body was so soft that he fell to the ground.

Various liquids dripped from his body, wetting the white contract in front of his knees.

In the darkness, he saw the demon on the opposite side opened a pair of scarlet eyes towards him——

It’s over!

It’s over!

Naji closed his eyes.

Just at this time——

“Naji? Are you here?” Ji Huan’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Then, with a “squeak”, the door opened.

At this moment, the thick air in the room suddenly began to flow again.

The moment he opened the door, Ji Huan even felt a gust of wind blowing from the room to his feet, penetrating into his trouser legs, and Ji Huan couldn’t help shivering.

In addition, he smelled a familiar fragrance. The owner of that smell is——

“Ah Jin?” Ji Huan called out the name of another person in the room without thinking.

Then, deep in the darkness, Ji Huan really heard that familiar voice as expected.

“It’s me.”

“Naji is also there, just now he didn’t see the way and tripped.”

The voice was steady, no different from the usual Ah Jin.

“Naji?” Ji Huan softly called out the name, groping for a while in the dark. Suddenly, he felt his legs being tightly grasped. It would be a lie to say that he was not startled, but he quickly reached out and touched the fluffy hair.

However, in the next second, Ji Huan was stunned:

Naji was sweating profusely——

The fluffy hair has now become strands, and the touch was hot and humid, it’s obviously due to the sweat.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Huan felt that the corner of his clothes was being held tightly, and after hesitating for a moment, Ji Huan led Naji to the door.

However, as he walked to the door, Ji Huan glanced back.

The room was filled with darkness.

Perhaps due to being at the door at this moment, Ji Huan could clearly feel the damp and cold air blowing out from the room.

Carrying the breath of Ah Jin.

“Naji, you go back first.” Ji Huan said softly, feeling the unwavering persistence of the thin demon. He then gently pushed Naji.

“I have something to ask Ah Jin.” Ji Huan pointed to the dark room.

Then, Ji Huan closed the door again.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Huan walked towards Ah Jin.

In the darkness, Ji Huan couldn’t see anything, but he knew that he was approaching Ah Jin step by step.

The closer he got to the man, the stronger the fragrance and the colder the chill.

There was only the sound of Ji Huan’s footsteps in the room.

He stopped, and there was no sound in the room.

Suddenly, some water hit Ji Huan in the face.

It’s raining— this was the first thought in Ji Huan’s mind;

The windows were left open— that was the second thought.

Crossing Ah Jin, Ji Huan walked towards the position where the wind was blowing.

He pulled back the heavy curtains, and without the curtains blocking them, the sound of the rain suddenly became louder. With the light outside the window, Ji Huan realised that the windows here were not closed. The rain outside was heavy, and it tilted into the room with the wind, hitting the curtains, and then falling inside. The ground under Ji Huan’s feet was already cold with rain.

Ji Huan couldn’t help but look behind him: there, not far from the window, he really saw Ah Jin’s back.

Ah Jin’s body was already soaked.

He pursed his lips and let the wind and rain hit himself for a second before quickly closing the window.

The curtains were drawn, the windows were closed, and the room returned to darkness and silence.

“Ah Jin.” In the darkness, Ji Huan softly called Ah Jin’s name.

Slowly, he put something on the floor beside Ah Jin.

The author has something to say:

Can anyone guess why Ah Jin treated Na Ji like this?

This is the first time Ah Jin has shown his emotions.
