Records Of Barton's Fantastical Events - Chapter 120
Chapter 120: Chapter 21 Monster
The sharp scissors were moved quickly in the air, reflecting silver gleams, but there was no sound of clothes being cut, and no blood to be scattered. Alice stepped back helplessly, and in front of her, the cut on Ryan’s jacket emblazoned with the words ‘ Raiput Beavers’ and ‘Quarterback’ quickly recovered.
“Alice! Listen to me!” Ryan approached Alice again. The back of the banshee was already against the wall, and Ryan’s face almost touched hers.
“I want to leave Grande! I want to find my family! Alice! Don’t you want it? ! Your real family! Let’s go together!”
Alice’s arm had already gone into Ryan’s body, abruptly came out from his back, and the scissors reflecting the bright silver light stopped in the air.
“What, what are you talking about?” Alice’s brows were twisted together, and her dark pupils were flickering under the watery mist.
“Let’s leave here! Leave Grande! We don’t belong here, let’s find our real family!” ”
“This is my home!” The iron scissors fell to the wooden floor with a clang, and Alice slowly slid against the corner of the wall holding her trembling shoulders, and curled into a ball, “Ryan, leave, please, leave!”
“No, Alice!!” Ryan’s body moved down in the flicker, squatting in front of Alice, “Alice, think about it, this is not your home! Zach, Benjamin? They are not your family members! They are just using you! Just like Papa Midnight used your ancestor…”
“Stop! Ryan! Get out! I ask you to get out!” Alice waved her arm in vain.
“Alice! You know it! You know I am right! Now, this is an opportunity! We have my mother’s witchcraft notes! You are strong! We can go anywhere! You don’t need to stay here to seek protection from a vampire and a werewolf!”
One day, I was thinking about why Papa Midnight was this special. I mean, there were many people with special talents in this world. For example, the prophet who could glimpse a fragment of the future in the rift of time; the sage who could read the human mind in the turbulent reality; the psychic who could communicate with things that ‘did not exist’…
On the periphery of the third classification of nonhumans, it seemed that these people should be powerful existences. Euh, there was also me, a blunderer who stuck in the middle. Then, why in this ever-changing era, everyone remembered only one person – Papa Midnight. Why was his existence so conspicuous?
Of course, I asked the vampire this question.
“This is a very good question.” Zach praised me, “What do you think of ‘witchcraft’?”
I thought for a while and replied, “It’s like a combination of these strange powers.” I suddenly understood something, “Oh! So it is like this! Papa Midnight is the one who put all these together! Then he is indeed a ‘great man’!”
“Smart, but it is not just that.” Zach smiled, “What do you think of werewolves, more specifically, the werewolves’ ancestor, the first Alpha.”
I thought about it for a while again, and then I understood something! “I got it! He not only gathers the existing ‘talents’ but also creates! He used vampire blood, curses, plus his own blood, to create werewolves! ”
“Very smart! Maddison, he will create. I can tell you that Alpha was not the first ‘thing’ he created. He already has a powerful witchcraft power. Alphas are just auxiliary forces to his power. Now think about it again, what else does he need to make him a true ‘great man’. ”
I shook my head. In my opinion, Papa Midnight was already considered to be my idol.
Zach reminded, “How do we generally describe great men?”
“Will never be forgotten?” I blinked.
“Correct, Maddison.” Zach smiled, “That’s what makes his existence so conspicuous to all of us in the cumulative history. He has created a ‘thing’ that is much stronger than Alpha.”
“What is that?” I asked curiously, “more powerful than Benjamin?”
The vampire smiled, “The ‘thing’ that allows him to bypass death completely.”
“No! Ryan, get out!” Alice raised her head and stared at Ryan in front of her, “I don’t want to see you again! You just want to use me! Get out! Get out of my room!”
Before Alice’s hands, Ryan’s body seemed to be pushed by something; his shadow moved backward suddenly and flickered in a disorderly manner.
Under the banshee’s gaze, the edges of Ryan’s body kept wavering, dissipating into the air. Just like Ryan said, Alice was very powerful.
“Alice!” Ryan’s intangible fingers clasped the floor, his voice was like a disturbed electric frequency, “I won’t leave! Do you want to be a nonhuman that is rejected by humans! Do you really want to live with a vampire and a werewolf! We have our own family! Our own people! We are human! We are not monsters!”
“Get out! Ryan!” Alice shook her head and yelled, “You are a monster! ! Look at yourself! You are an earthbound spirit! You were abandoned here by your own family! Now, you want to disturb my mind! You are a monster! Ryan! You are a monster!”
Earthbound spirit’s body flickered fiercely. Words were also weapons, and Ryan’s blurry face became grim.
“I was not abandoned! ! My mother cared about me! She was protecting me in her own way! You too! If it weren’t for her, you would have died on the street!”
Alice’s arms were wrapped around her knees, her disheveled hair draped over her shoulders, and she lowered her face, her voice trembling and faint, “Ryan, please leave, I am begging you. I want to be alone.”
“No! Alice!” Unlike Alice, who had no more energy to argue, Ryan was still very emotional, and the shadow of his body was constantly flickering, “I need your help! If you don’t want to leave and stay at Grande, suit yourself! Alice! I will leave by myself! But you have to do one thing for me! Otherwise, I will never forgive you! I want to haunt you for life!”
Alice raised her head suddenly, biting her lower lip. Her cheeks had been completely wet with tears, and the white cuffs were stained with wet marks. She stared at Ryan’s eyes, her clenched fists trembled slightly under force.
Ryan approached Alice again, “This is your choice! What do you want! Do you want me to haunt you for the rest of your life? ! Or exorcise me and let me die again? ! Or promise me that you will do one thing for me! Then I will leave here forever!”
After a long stare and silence.
“What do you want?” Alice’s eyelashes were trembling.
Ryan’s body was restored, it became seemingly substantial again. Pampered by old Hermann, Connor had a good body. With a strong and handsome body, Ryan got near Alice’s face again.
The earthbound spirit stared at Alice who was physically and emotionally forced to the corner, with a triumphant smile on her face, “I found a Tulpa! I want to catch him! I want to know how he broke the shackles of an Earthbound Spirit and gained freedom! you! You have to help me!”
