Hearing his words, I made an understanding face while nodding, but still everything was getting above my head, and this was something I never dreamed of.
Like going to a foreign country, well, of course the condition wasn't that great, but still, to think that I was talking about a foreign country, well, it was way too unexpected for people like me, who mostly spend their lives in self-hatred or agony.
But hearing their words about China, I was building up strange fantasies about them because in childhood, I saw way too many cultural dramas of foreign nations like Chinese kung fu or dragon stuff, while Japan had its own uniqueness in terms of gravity, and America was also not left behind in terms of movements, while many others, I remember, surely were awesome.
But those precious memories surely were now just left as memories in my heart. Because I didn't have time to mess around and Maya was an important piece in the war, and by taking her to our side, we could increase our chances of survival, so it didn't matter if I had to fight the entire Kung Fu race or dragon race to take her to my side.
Thinking these thoughts, I saw that Imu had also woken up from our quarrel, and hearing the name "China," she was pretending as if she didn't know me. Like seriously, I wanted to know why every one of them was so afraid or trying their best to avoid it.
As I was surely nothing but a freak in my past, all I cared about was killing or capturing the spirits, so mostly, without my childhood memories of those dramas, I didn't have any information about them.
So after continuous requests from me, everybody agreed to come with me, while Nona was strangely happy about it and looking way too cheerful.
Finding that this brat was this happy, I was feeling like many needles pierced my skull at the same time. This creepy nona was only a single woman that I couldn't see was this happy, so I quickly came to Imu's side and whispered in her ear: "Hey, why is that bitch—I mean, your lovely daughter—that happy? Did she win a lottery or anything?"
Hearing my words, she gave me a glare while sighfully speaking: "It's just that this brat had a boyfriend in Xinjiang, and finding that we are going there, she is getting thoughts that she could meet him on our way there!"
Hearing that I was the reason for her happiness, I was feeling like puking, but thinking about it, I looked at her in a strange manner and spoke: "Did you or she ever visit China before?"
Hearing my words, she denied and spoke: "Nope, it's just that this creep got his boyfriend online, and you know how most Asians look, and North Asians surely have something in their genes in terms of beauty, so main point, he is way too handsome, and he has served in the military for 3-4 years maybe. As for age difference, he might be older than her by at least one or two years!"
Hearing that it was online love, I looked at Nona, who was feeling way too happy, and thought, "What would happen if I leave her here only? Heh-heh, then he won't be able to meet her boyfriend and will be left to stale here!"
But as I was thinking about it, Bona came to my side in a pretty spooky manner and spoke: "Well, your thought isn't bad, but what if any side started to pull moves on her? You know you have so many enemies that you can't even trust your own shadow, and you are not dumb enough to throw away a source of divine energy. So better stop messing around and quickly move because the area we are about to visit is surely not friendly in any manner!"
Hearing this bastard's words, I sighed, thinking that what he was saying was truth and I surely couldn't trust my own shadow, so I sighed and came to Antak's side while speaking: 'Bastard, do you have any idea about the mess? Because my head is feeling like it will pop out, and damn, I don't even have the language to track her address!"
Hearing my words, he sighed and spoke: "Kid, you surely are acting like a kid now. Why the fuck do you even want to know about their language when we can just help you in information by possessing other people? As for that girl, she has a pretty strange presence around her, so it will be easy for us to track her up.
But hey, I have heard tales about that place—that there's an old tradition in villages where old people burn a few woods and chant around them, and while the young people perform a strange kind of dance pattern around those woods, the women, no matter the age, are not allowed to leave their houses or even leave their clothes out.
Some old people told me that even the people of that village don't know what and how things happen, but if any woman fails to do it, then they strangely become pregnant with a strange kind of attribute.
It is believed that the people of the village summon someone to help their village in crises, but the thing they summon isn't some kind of angel or mere spirit. But rather, they summon the demon of desire!"
Hearing his words, I felt that this creep was just trying to scare me, so I spoke annoyingly: "Yeah, creep, sure, but that must be long ago, so why are you telling me such a dusty story like an old newspaper?"
Hearing my words, he gave me a serious look before speaking: "Dumbass, it might be a story of old times, but the curse that demon brings surely was frightening; if any single mistake was done in this ritual, that demon would suck everybody's soul from that village to hell and capture their bodies with his fellow demons.
The word you must have heard, skinwalkers, they become more like that. It wasn't a story about a single village; it was witnessed by many spirits, but due to a pact among each other, neither demons nor we invaded each other's business!
