Chapter 27
"N-no..No no no..." Mikhael sobs while hugging Philip
"Doctor, I suppose you should also blew up the bomb inside Mikhael's body" a fellow researcher said to Devon
"Are you an idiot, Kevin? If we did that we will just lost a reason to scare Mikhael" Devon answers while looking at Mikhael from a screen
"S-scare?? His potential isn't that important anyway! He just gathers informations for us which anyone from our lab can do-"
"His potential is given by the god, and mind reading is something connected to his original potential for him using the potential for the good or killing people with such a good reason, how old is Mikhael??" Devon explains
"He is..17" Kevin answers
"We calculated that when Mikhael turned 18 his true potential will shine, but right now that the numbers of people he killed appeared in his nape, means that his original potential came"
"We have to go now" Ichiro said with a low voice while looking at Mikhael
"But..Philip.." Mikhael replied while not looking back at Ichiro
"Hey..If we didn't get him out he wouldn't have a proper funeral, right??" Enya said with a soft face
"Y-Yeah.." Mikhael replied while grabbing Isaac's axe
"N-No!!" Phoebe shouted as she saw what Mikhael's doing
But before stopping everything, Mikhael slit his throat using the axe
"No!!" Lucas shouted, he ran towards Mikhael and held his body
"W-Why is this..happening?" Enya said while hiding her face on her hands
"M-Mikhael..?" Lucas said his name with confused voice and holding Mikhael's throat
"His wound is disappearing.." Lucas added as his tears stops falling and felt something on Mikhael's nape
Lucas immediately turned Mikhael's over and saw the number decreased by one
"What is his original then..?" Kevin asks with a worried face
"The number of the life he took, is the number of how many times he will live again" Devon replied with a smirk on his face while looking at the number on Mikhael's nape that he can barely see because of Mikhael's hair
"51 and now 50..He's a murdere-"
"So, basically it's similar to immortality" Devon cuts of Kevin once again but this time with an amused face
And..Mikhael started to breath once again
"W-Why am I alive?? Why!! Why!!" Mikhael shouted as he sees the ceiling clearly
"From what I just witnessed, if you die the numbers on your nape will decrease and you will live again, means you have 50 lives right now" Lucas explains with a smile
"I think the numbers on your back is the number of people you killed. I wonder what kind of prison are you from.." Ichiro said while carrying Isaac
"Why are you smiling, Lucas?" Mikhael asks and slaps away Lucas's hand
"W-Wha-"
"It just making me suffer even more!! I am always a prisoner, I am always owned by someone, I don't know freedom.. I don't know how to live without Philip" Mikhael shouted while crying
"Philip..Told you that he loves you and only you while pulling out this" Lucas said while showing the ring that's from Philip's pocket
"If Philip kills so many people to make you happy then doesn't also mean he wants you to live? You told him lies yet he waited, isn't that is the thing called love?"
"Love is something makes us fool, it brings pain, especially if it's in the wrong place and time. But your lover chose to make you feel loved until the end instead of killing us because he knows that makes you happy.."
"Isn't killing yourself now without experiencing freedom wouldn't make Philip happy?" Lucas said with a warm smile
"You don't know anything-"
"I know since Heil protected us and the result? She died. I haven't told her what I feel, what's the secret I kept. The only difference is you guys know you love each other and Heil doesn't know a single thing.."
"But I don't want to die because Heil protected us, I'll be making her death in vain" Lucas finishes before standing up
Mikhael cried once again while hugging Philip's cold body
"I will..fight" Mikhael said after putting the ring on his marriage finger
"We should probably left and don't give a fuck about the top of the building" Ichiro said while walking down the stairs
"Why? How about the bomb?" Enya shouted while helping Phoebe with Hideo
"Mikhael can't die to that stupid bomb, they're just making us a fool, let's get out of this hell" Ichiro said while others followed him.
