Chapter 558: Dumpster Talk
Altros ran with all his might, and to his own surprise, his body felt much sturdier. He wasnât even tired after running for 15 minutes straight, and as expected, he arrived at the brothel without any trouble.
But since he had plenty of time to kill, he walked into a nearby alleyway and sat down on the cleanest dumpster he could find, his thoughts conflicted.
âDude, is this some deal with the devil shit?â Altros asked plainly. âBecause I saw everything. You controlled my body, healed my ankle, and even did something to those guysâ brains, didnât you? Also, how do two bats even fit up thereâŠâ
âEven Iâm surprised it fit, but thatâs beside the point. Iâm not really a devil, though I am a demon, if that counts,â Rael replied.
Altros nearly fell off the dumpster.
âSo what? Do you have my soul now?â
âNope. You watch too many cartoons.â Rael chuckled. âI said Iâd help you, and I would do so through any means necessary.â
âWell⊠beating them up like that was a pretty bad idea, wasnât it?â Altros scratched his cheek. âI mean, wonât the hospital director just not go to the brothel now since his son is messed up in the head?â
Rael sighed. âYou give too much credit to that old man. He would rather get laid than deal with his problems head on. Heâll likely take the call, say heâs coming, and then mention something about being stuck in traffic. Heâll deal with it Monday. I promise.â
Not only thatâŠ
âI used the bats while covering my fingers in mana. I scrambled the fingerprints, so itâll look like those idiots fought themselves.â
Altrosâs head spun. âYouâre unbelievable. Honestly. I kind of wished I had the balls to stand up to those bastards myself.â
If only you knewâŠ
Rael chuckled inwardly.
Though, heâll likely piece together that Iâm him soon enough. After all, weâre connected right now. He can feel my emotions just like I can feel his.
So when Dom mentioned Melissa, Rael was naturally outraged.
But Altros probably had a reason for not asking about it, so Rael didnât bother with that topic either.
âHey, do you think I can use skills here as well?â Altros asked. âI mean, you used mana, didnât you? If you can channel it through my body, then doesnât that mean humans can technically do it?â
Rael paused for a moment.
âYou can try⊠Just recall the sensation.â
Altrosâs expression lit up, and with great confidence, he tried messing with his blood. Rael could feel everything, and honestly, there was a 50% chance Altros was about to shit himself.
âCome on⊠Come out!â
75%.
After a few minutes of back and forth, nothing happened, and he sulked.
âI felt it so clearly⊠So why canât I do it?â
Rael sighed, deciding to be honest.
âThatâs because I brought the mana from Sketa Online. Your world doesnât have mana.â
Altros raised a brow. âSo youâre telling me I was groaning like an idiot for the past few minutes for no reason?â
âMhm.â
As much as he wanted to slam his head into the wall behind him, Altros held back for his own sake, gathering his thoughts.
âCan you tell me anything about Sketa Online?â he asked. âBecause I donât really get this sort of stuff. How are you, an NPC, here?â
âYouâll find out eventually,â Rael assured.
Altros kept rapid-firing questions at Rael, all of which he dodged effortlessly. But as the time for the hospital directorâs arrival drew near, Altros asked a question which made Rael momentarily freeze.
âSay⊠You messed with their heads earlier. Can you like⊠un-mess someoneâs head?â
ââŠâ
âBecause you know⊠My sister isââ
âStop.â Rael cut him off. âFocus on this first. Youâll be the one to kill the director. Think about the future afterward.â
âButââ
âVROOOOOM
His words were interrupted by a loud engine sound coming from the street just outside the alley.
Altrosâs hands shook, and when he peeked out of the alley, he saw a man wearing a luxurious tuxedo step out of a limousine. It was an old man with a toupee, masking his baldness.
But the way he carried himself practically radiated the âIâm rich, donât talk to meâ energy.
And this person was none other than Aston, the hospitalâs director, and the person they had come here to kill.
âDid you bring a mask?â Rael asked. âIf not, I can scramble your appearance.â
Altros shook his head and pulled out a cute shark mask, putting it on swiftly.
âHmm⊠Alright, stand by,â Rael added, waiting for Aston to step inside the brothel.
He didnât even check if anyone was following him. That was how confident he was. And rightfully so. He was rich.

So when he stepped inside the brothel, the limousine left, and the street once again turned silent.
But that silence didnât last long, and within just a few minutes, Rael heard arguing. It was coming from the fourth floor, and he could tell one voice belonged to a woman while the other belonged to Aston.
He couldnât make out their words, but before Rael gave Altros an instruction, something shocking resounded.
âBANG!
Soon, something hit the ground with a thud. The arguing stopped, and only the salty muttering of Aston remained, causing Rael to frown inwardly.
âUmm⊠dude?â Altros hid back inside the alley, his heart practically beating out of his chest. âThat shot didnât come from inside the brothel, did it?â
ââŠâ
âI shouldâve prepared a mantra for this occasion. Fuck!â Altros stomped the ground, his nerves getting to him. âI thought heâd have a baton, maybe a knife or a machete. But a fucking gun? Nah, Iâmââ
âIf you die, I can revive you,â Rael said nonchalantly. âIf you get shot, I can heal you. If you kill him, I can erase his body. If you get caught by someone, I can erase their memories.â
Taking a deep breath, he continued in a quieter tone:
âThereâs nothing to worry about. Youâll live either way, and youâll walk out with someone you hate dead.â
Altros gulped. âWhat about the cameras?â
âI scrambled them from the moment I woke up in your body,â Rael assured right away.
And just like that, he seemed to have gotten Altrosâs trust; without another objection, Altros clenched his fists and nodded.
âAlright, big boss, what do I do now?â
