The case (end)

Thomas watched the woman in the white dress hanged, her appearance was that of a woman in her late 20s, with white hair and gray eyes, he then mentally spoke

'Breathe, breathe, calm down, everything is under control, I can't die...'

Thomas decided to try something, so he said:

"Hello? Do you speak?"

=__=

"I just wanted to ask you something."

=__=

"Hey?"

Thomas thought that all his attempts at dialogue had failed, so he pulled out his cell phone and started texting Brian.

(November 22, 03:00)

Brian, I see the woman in white.

Brian!

Why is it 03 am?

Where are you Thomas?! You are not in room 666

I don't know, I opened the door to your room and they sent me here.

Concentrate and try to find something that might reveal your location.

She's hanging in front of me, in the middle of the hall, do you want me to pass by?!

Did you try to run away?

It was the first thing I tried dammit, I'm also out of mana Brian if I die I swear I'll come back to pull your feet.

Calm down, we need something to reveal your location.

I will not pass her by.

Try to run past.

I will not, pass her by!

Why is it 3 am?

You've been missing for hours.

What? But I just found you.

I understand you're confused, but focus now!

I'M OUT OF MANA! YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?"

Suddenly, Thomas heard a crack coming from the hanged woman, he looked scared at her and said:

"Calm down, it's just an illusion, it's just an illusion..."

The woman who was hanging from the ceiling suddenly fell to the floor, making a 'thud' noise.

At the same moment, his cell phone vibrated and he looked for a moment at the message that had arrived.

Screams loudly.

Thomas read the message, but when he was about to start screaming, he looked ahead and got a fright, something that made his heart freeze... The woman was standing there looking at him.

Thomas stared at the woman indefinitely and his cell phone vibrated with notifications of new messages.

Thomas would look away again and try to call Brian, but unexpectedly, it wouldn't work. He would click call and it would say 'Out of area'.

Thomas looked back at the woman in the white dress, but when he realized, she was in front of him, a few inches from him.

A chill descended over his body, although he wasn't afraid of dying, he was scared because of this bizarre situation.

Thomas then decided to speak:

"If you kill me, something worse will come out of me."

Thomas swallowed hard and continued talking, while the woman in the white dress stared at him:

"But I'm not threatening, it's just a warning that it's going to be good for both of us."

=__=

Thomas and the woman stared at each other for a long time, until finally she said:

"You are different and strange..."

Thomas was startled to hear the woman's voice, but suddenly she approached Thomas and started sniffing his neck.

it felt like the woman was sticking a sharp knife into her neck, something that made her body go cold.

"You smell good, but at the same time you smell bad..."

Thomas didn't understand what was happening, but again he was startled by the woman approaching his face and kissing him on the mouth.

Thomas, by this time, had already lost all logic in the situation, he was so confused and with so many doubts that it left him frustrated.

After a long kiss, the woman pulled her lips away from Thomas's face and looked into his eyes.

After a long time, Thomas spoke:

"I can go?"

The woman suddenly grabbed Thomas's hand and started to walk him down the hall. They would enter a room and the woman would sit on the bed and say:

"Sit down."

Thomas reluctantly sat down next to her.

The woman smiled and suddenly she laid Thomas down and straddled him and started kissing him.

This goes on for a long time, until Thomas starts showing signs of sleep.

He stopped kissing her and yawned, but the woman didn't give it time and went back to kissing him.

Thomas felt that he was getting more and more tired, it was as if he were dying peacefully, without pain.

Lucky for her, a man appeared behind them, the woman stopped kissing Thomas and turned to attack the intruder, but was easily subdued with a snap of the man's fingers.

Chains made of lights materialized and trapped the woman. The chains burned where the woman's body touched.

The man wore a suit and had blond hair and blue eyes, his features were handsome and his age was around 30 years old.

Thomas felt like he was drugged or drunk, he couldn't think straight and his vision was blurry. He looked directly at the man and asked:

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Thomas and spoke in a calm tone:

"My name is Haniel and I am an angel of the creator."

Shocked, Thomas asked the man named Haniel:

"An angel?"

Haniel spoke while watching the woman:

"Yes, I was sent by the creator, to prevent you from dying, that is, I am your guardian angel."

"My angel of what?"

Thomas tried to get up, but he didn't have the strength in his body and Haniel spoke again:

"Try not to use force, you are on the verge of death."

Thomas was feeling extremely tired and weak. Haniel approached Thomas and placed his index finger and middle finger together on Thomas' forehead, he was restoring his life energy.

Thomas felt himself gaining strength again and heard Haniel say:

"Magnificent that you have so much life energy..."

He looked at Haniel and noticed the woman in the white dress on chains made of the element of light and asked:

"What is happening?"

"This woman was a spirit, but ended up consuming her divine life energy and ended up reviving as a human again."

"Aren't ghosts lies?"

"They were, until 'death' died."

Thomas widened his eyes and stood up asking:

"Mister mors died?!"

"Sadly yes."

Thomas was a little shocked by this news, but then Haniel started talking again:

"The reapers were responsible for taking the souls of mortals to the afterlife, but since the beginning of humanity, there have always been those humans who didn't want to go at all and since the reapers could never force them to go, they put those souls in a space called the 'Veil' that space was on earth but it was an isolated space that kept all the souls trapped, that was until Mors died and everything fell apart."

"Are these souls dangerous?"

Haniel looked at the woman in the white dress and said:

"Most are, but there are some passive souls, though it's rare"

"So this woman is dangerous?"

"She's a small fish, there are thousands more dangerous and lethal than her."

Confused, Thomas asked Haniel:

"Are there more dangerous than her?"

"Yes, one for example, is the spirit that killed all the inhabitants of a small town, all in a single day."

"I saw it on the news... But why did he do that?"

Haniel walked up to the woman, grabbed her wrist and said:

"Because they want to come back to life, just like this woman."

Thomas asked confused:

"Back to life?"

Haniel understood Thomas' doubts and replied while releasing the woman:

"All beings have something called vital energy, it is a form of energy that sustains health and 'Life' in them, and what these spirits seek is vital energy, so they can come back to life. The spirit absorbed all the vital energy from everyone in town, resulting in everyone's death."

"So does that mean he came back to life?"

"Wrong, for him to gather enough life energy to completely rebuild his body again, he would need at least 50 million humans, but we angels won't allow that to happen, so it's impossible for any spirit to come back to life with the exception of her, as she managed to absorb his life energy."

Thomas looked at the chained woman and noticed that she was crying, he then spoke to Haniel:

"She didn't seem to be seeking life energy, she was just killing..."

Haniel looked at the woman and said:

"Tell us about what you were looking for."

He snapped his fingers and the chains began to tighten and burn the woman's skin.

The woman spoke while moaning in pain:

"Hugh, I was looking for revenge."

Thomas was perplexed by the woman's response and spoke in an irritated tone:

"But what the hell did I do to you?"

The woman looked at Thomas and said:

"I'm just looking for those who are evil by nature, when I first saw you, I felt something extremely bad and cruel inside you, but when I analyzed you again, I realized that I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Thomas was impressed by her response, but he still hadn't satiated all his doubts:

"Why did you kill those two girls?"

The woman looked at Thomas and said:

"Amelia and Emma? They were cruel bitches, when children caused the death of a 7 year old girl, in high school, Amelia cheated on her boyfriend with the boy's father in front of him, causing the boy to commit suicide, they deserved death."

Thomas was speechless when he heard the woman say, he never thought those girls would be capable of doing this, appearances can be deceiving...

Thomas figured this woman wasn't so bad, so he tried to start things off on the right foot.

"Cough-cough, what's your name?"

The woman was surprised to hear the boy ask her name, but she replied anyway:

"My name is Grace."

"Okay, Grace, he'll let you go, but you have to promise not to kill anyone."

"I died after being raped by 3 men, instead of letting me live with that humiliation they decided to hang me from a tree, the only reason I was denied my way to heaven was so I could kill those men, but I couldn't, because of this 'Veil', years have passed and I'm free and I can finally take revenge by killing people as bad as those men and you're asking me not to do that anymore?"

Thomas was shocked to hear Grace's story, but he kept his feet on the ground and said:

"I know it's hard, but you're alive again now, you have another chance and be happy!"

"That kind of thing doesn't exist for people like me..."

"Sigh, can you at least try? Even if you don't like it."

Grace thought for a while, until she finally came up with the answer:

"No, I will keep killing all the scum on this planet, if you don't want that then kill me."

"I am not going to kill you."

Haniel interrupted the conversation and said:

"I really don't care what you do, as long as you don't threaten the boy's life..."

The woman looked at the angel and said in a calm tone:

"I have no reason to hurt the boy."

Haniel smiled and snapped his fingers, the chains that bound Grace were gone. He would turn around and speak to the two before teleporting away:

"I'm coming, I'll keep an eye on you Thomas, in case something unexpected happens..."

Thomas and Grace stared at each other for a long time, until Thomas got up from the bed and spoke to her:

"How about we get out of here now?"

Grace looked at Thomas without answering. Thomas, losing patience, took her hand and started leading her out of the room.

When they reached the door, Thomas turned to Grace and spoke.

"In case anyone asks, you're my assistant, okay?"

Grace continued to look at Thomas without answering again, but Thomas decided to take that silence as a yes.

He would open the door and lead Grace out of the room and say to her:

"Let's get you some clothes, that dress of yours is very old and outdated, is it from the 14th century? Well, never mind, I know where I can get free women's clothing, luckily, so let's go."

Thomas held Grace's hand as he walked with her to room '666'...
