[Exorcism] Broken Gears

My head is hot and sleepy...

But the injury on my body was so painful that I couldn't sleep at all.

Wait... Hurt?

By the way, I fainted out of nowhere when I was confronting that girl before.

So, what is the situation now?

I was so dizzy that I couldn't see anything clearly.

It's so annoying, it doesn't matter what it is.

Allen closed his squinted eyes again.

"Ah, Allen... Allen..."

Such a familiar voice...

who is calling me?

Allen raised his head feebly, and slowly looked towards the source of the voice.

The person in front of him was tied to the clock, and his whole body was shaking with fright.

As the line of sight gradually became clearer, Allen finally recognized the man.

"Miss Miranda...?"

Allen, who wanted to get up and walk over, finally realized something was wrong.

Why does my left arm, which was not injured, hurt so much?

Because it is embedded in the wall by nails.

"Yo, are you awake~?"

It's...that little girl just now.

Around her, three demons had already gathered.

Wait, sitting on the chair next to her is...

"...Li Nali?"

Involuntarily, Allen said it.

"Don't talk to Lord Rhode's puppet casually."

A demon next to him showed a mocking malicious smile.

"Your name is Li Nali? What a cute name~!"

Rhodes was full of joy of getting the new toy, looking at Li Nali who was changed into a black princess dress.

Although such "dolls" are equally well-behaved and cute, they still lack human warmth after all.

Unauthorized, make the partner who is cooperating with others into this cold look...

Too much.

But no matter how you think about it, it's useless... Who will let others be better than yourself.

Ahhh, I'm so sorry.

In my current situation, I'm afraid I can't do anything.

...maybe use a psychological offensive?

Give it a try.

"Why, as a human being, you are on the side with the devil?"

Allen looked straight at Rhodes.

"Ah, can't human beings get along with demons?"

Rhode raised his eyebrows.

"However, demons are weapons designed to kill..."

"Weapons are things that humans exist to kill each other, right?"

Rhodes' sarcasm interrupted him unceremoniously.

"My name is Rod Camelot, Lord Millennium is our brother, and we are chosen humans."

She glanced at Allen with contempt and disdain.

"It seems that you don't know anything, exorcist. You are human beings chosen by false gods, and we are the apostles truly chosen by God—we are the Noah family."

Although he didn't understand anything, it was certain that the psychological offensive had failed.

I can only fight...

Stretching the muscles of his left arm, Allenso let the nail directly inflict damage on his hand, and just like that, Innocence was pulled out of the wall abruptly.

"Wow~!! Really amazing endurance!"

Rhodes applauded in surprise.

"Why are you angry?"

She walked over and squatted down, looking at Allen.

"Don't you believe I'm human?"

"It doesn't matter."

Allen replied coldly.

She looks so confident, she seems to have a certain strength to rely on, and she doesn't take me seriously at all.

Forget it... let's not attack directly.

Looking at Allen's indifferent face, Rhodes made an incredible move.

——She actually got down on the ground and stretched out her arms to hug Allen.

Allen, who has never been used to having any physical contact with others, resisted unnaturally.

But it was ignored by Rhodes.

"It's warm...it's the touch between people, right?"

That's right, it's not the coldness of a demon's weapon, she is indeed a real human being.

If it's just a human being, then why does she dare to approach me?

Aren't you afraid I'll kill her with Innocence?

"However, we are also different from humans."

As if seeing Allen's doubts, as soon as the words fell, Rhodes grabbed Allen's steel claws and pressed them hard on his head.

The whole head rotted away, and she fell to the ground immediately.

However, after a while, Rhodes stood up intact again.

"We are the oldest apostles of mankind, and we are the 'supermen' who inherited Noah's genetic factors."

She grabbed Allen's collar, "It's different from you guys!"

Saying that, Rhodes had an extra tapered candle in his hand.

Stabbed Allen's left eye.

——"Paji."

"Ah, Allen!"

Miranda, who was tied to the clock, cried in horror and looked at Allen.

But the injured man just wiped the thick liquid that flowed onto his face.

"Hey, isn't your endurance too exaggerated?"

Rhodes licked the blood-stained candle in his hand, and looked at Allen's expressionless face with interest.

"..."

Alan didn't answer anything.

"By the way, I almost forgot about you,"

Suddenly thinking of the woman on the side, Rhodes smiled and waved.

Dozens of tapered candles appeared out of thin air and stabbed towards Miranda.

——"Help, help!!"

The terrified Miranda closed her eyes in fright.

But he didn't feel the coming pain.

"Miss Miranda, please don't move..."

After hearing the reassuring voice, Miranda trembled and opened her eyes again.

Allen, who stood in her way, struggled to aim at the things in front of him that were beginning to blur again.

After cutting the rope with the scarred steel claws, the Innocence had to be retrieved.

"Ah, Allen...?"

Miranda, who was so frightened that she quickly crawled away from the clock, looked in horror at Allen who was kneeling and motionless.

"No, don't die... Allen, don't die..."

Allen turned around slowly and gave her a perfect gentle smile, "No, it's okay..."

Then suddenly fell down.

>>>>

The last hope is Miss Miranda.

If even this can't stimulate her, then there is really no other way.

The beating of the heart is still very strong.

Feeling it silently, the mood also became better.

Let's hope this isn't the last time it's heard.

Gradually, no longer resisting the dizziness of the brain, Allen fell into a deep sleep.
