Dave seating down on a chair near a window his glance never leaving Soulless as he puts a file down "do you know what this is"he says with a cold voice,his eyes examing soulless
Soulless shallowing hard, trying to keep his cool shakes his head as he trys to come with the right words to push safe suspicion away from him
Dave with a deadpan voice examples that it is a file of the string of unexplainable murders in the area, Soulless his face one of shocked"you think I did all those horrible things"his voice seemed genuine enough bit to arouse more suspicion but the look on Dave face said other wise
Draven sighing "Alright then let's back bank to my previous question what do you know about the Hamptons"
Soulless talking a deep breath and begins to example using the fragmented memories
The Hamptons were like a second family after his brother left for the capital, and tutored Sol while he was still in the collage
His voices seemed to hold no lie and genuine buy his nervous expression didn't quite clear Dave's other suspicions
Dave getting up from his seat"unfortunately both the Hamptons were found dead yesterday night,it seemed to be a case of suicide with them having shot themselves in the head with a bronze revolver"his voice was with a hint of warmth,He pauses before putting a revolver on the table and continues"a revolver much like this one"
Soulless eyes widening in recognition of the revolver being the one he used before to kill that monsters,he puts his mouth to example but no words come,Dave walking towards the door glances back and gestures for him to follow
"Wait I have to change first I can't really go out in my shorts"soulless explains trying to buy himself time,Dave reluctant to let him do so but understanding the need to keep up appearance nods as soulless rushes into bathroom as he looks at the basket and finds his clothing clean and well ironed
He opens the tap and splashes himself with cold water before Pullin his head back his expression changes from one of worry to one of dumbstruck shock as he sees a black mark that seems to be one of a eight pointed star were the bullet wound once was
His mind is is a whirlwind of thoughts and concerns, on one hand he as to found a way to get home and on the other he as to deal with mysterious of this new world and the crimes the previous host of this body committed
"This is turning out to be more like the webnovals I used to read but the only problem is I'm the main character"the thought mind soulless chuckle nervously since he knows the gravity of the situation his in but without wasting any more time he changes his clothing and joins Dave who's been patiently waiting for him outside near a carriage
They both enter and the carriages begins to move to a destination unknown to soulless, Soulless observing the luxurious interior of the carriage behind to think about the strange presence Dave has from the way that he moves to the golden glow in his eyes
As thoughts begin to race about what Dave truly is
Dave looking out the carriage window opens his mouth and speaks in a informative tone
"Your properly curious about what members of the church are doing here "
Soulless startled by the statement chuckles nervously,his expression that of a sheepish grin and avoiding eye contact "was it that obvious"
The nation is primarily governed by six churches, and the head of them all is the evangelist church but the churches are at constant odds with one another because of many reasons from conflicting beliefs and worships of gods to the storaging of scrolls and sarced items, so the idea of special investigaters being sent for a murder case was unheard of in this world
Dave his stare seeming to piece through soulless's soul "this world is filled with mysterious and horrors beyond anyone's imagination you have only seen a fraction of it Mr Reinhardt"his voice serious with unspoken trauma and a haunted tone
Soulless shallowing hard his expression now becaming blank as he sighs
"Please call me soulless"he said with a hollow voice as if his already accepted his fate he down casts his eyes which seem to glow a light red
The carriage stops near a small house that's painted a cream white with blue highlines
The two get out of the carriage and walk into the garden filled with red spider lilies and white carnations, soulless looks around as he hears muttering and distorted voices that seem to speak gibberish as Dave closely obverses him
A woman with long black hair and a black dress,her skin a pale white and her face veiled with a gold ornamented black veil that seems to only show her lips that are as red as a strawberry and the silver necklace she wears with red stones as she smiles and walks towards the two
Her voice monotone but with a deep presence that pulls soulless attention"greetings to you may the goddess bless you"she bowed slightly as the surrounding area seems to glow a ethereal white
Soulless extending his head in greetings
"Good morning madam"his voice was friendly and soft but with a hint of unease that seems to course the woman to smile more but Dave pulling an arm around Soulless shoulder introduces and explains
"Mr Reinhardt,this is the exorcist Celeste Gothmore,she will be happening us uncovered what led to the Hamptons taking here own lives, Mrs Gothmore this is Soulless Reinhardt and he may be an important part of this case"
Celeste glancing at Dave her smile faltering sighs as she begins teasing about being to formal and a kill joy"oh dear it seems your still the churches killjoy Mr Walter and what did I say about calling me Mrs Gothmore I'm not married to myself nor am I a old lady"her voice carried a large edge of sarcasticm
Soulless surpressing a chuckling glances at Dave who as a vein appearing on his forehead head as gusts of wind appear and his upper face now shadowed and his eyes a bright white "I clearly see your still the same old wild animal miss Gothmore"his voice was sharp and cutting through Celeste confidence,Celeste her voice now taking on a hard edge clears her throat "let's get bank to business then"
The trio walk into the house that seems to have pitch black shadows when while the windows are open, Soulless confused on what they are doing here opens his mouth to speak but before he can say a word Dave taking out a watch
Celeste a deep blue aura appearing around her as it drops down slowly like water,she extends her arm,Dave staring at his pocket watch begins recording the day and time
"Day 23 April,time o-nine-hundred"
As a disfigured arm that's a deep green appears with long orange finger nails appears from the shadows along with two eyeless faces one looking like a old man and the other a woman with pieces of blonde hair
Celeste looking at the creature begins to pray as a massive spear line chainsaw appears it's deep black handle and the purple bladed chain as she swings it to the side and in the blink of an eye and the whirring of the blades the monster is cut in two
Celeste her voice cold and devoid of emotions as the chainsaw disappears
"My the twin moons guide you back to the eternal light of the goddess"
The creature with tears in it's eye sockets turns slowly turns into dust with a loud howl as it attempts to reach out to soulless
Soulless eyes widening for a brief moment sees the old figures of Mr and Mrs Hamptons pointing at him with a smile on here faces as they smile speak but he doesn't hear anything
A tear coming down his eyes as Dave gives him a handkerchief ,Soulless unknowingly takes it and wipes his tears then after blows his nose with the handkerchief before thanking Dave but his mind is lost he doesn't understand way his feeling so sad about people his barely knew,maybe it's because of Sol Memoires or seeing there froms disfigured and mutated into a monster or the fact he had just witness the final moments of two people
Celeste turning around sighs and with a low voice"I hard this part of the job but what can we do it's either we put them to rest or...they just feed off the souls of the living
Celeste walking towards soulless who looks to see her piecing red eyes and shark like teeth smirking at him "now be a good boy and yell is what exactly led to all this or your really be in trouble"her voice had taken in a dangerous edge that shocked soulless out or his thought
A a hour later
Soulless having explained as much as he can using the information from sol memories while trying to hide the truth about the murders,the sins Sol as commited and even the truth about him being a soul that transfigurated from the past speaks as calmly as possible but inwidely thinks
"I can't let me find out about me or the things the previous owner of this body has done or I'm screwed but maybe lying would make it worse"
He stops speaking taking a deep breath as Celeste staring bullets at him "so you tried to became a sorcerer and the Hamptons helped you achieve by teaching you basic mysticism but in fear of you getting targeted by fiends but then mystery the Hamptons take here own lives sounds familiar"
Dave tilting his head to the side thinks that it doesn't sound familiar it's exactly what happened for Celeste to became a exorcist
Dave regaining his composure clears his throat "it seems whatecer you were doing was incomplete for now while write this down as a basic fiend excising but we'll investgate this further,
Dave walking out as Celeste and soulless follow
Later that night Soulless exhausted walks back into the apartment with a bag of bread which Maria quickly takes as she stammers out a greeting, soulless seating down near the window groans as he looks at Maria and says"what are you doing"he muttered
Maria with a loaf of bread in her mouth gestures that she is studying for an up coming exam, soulless sighing looks up at the moons in the sky as the thinks about the day's events and the rabbit hole he founds himself sucking deeper in, he knows he can't keep in lying on behalf of a person who's as good as dead but he doesn't know what will happen to him if he tells anyone the truth
He blinks slowly as he thinks"I'm just doing my little dance on the devils hands"he let's out a small chuckle before closing his eyes to sleep
