Chapter 70: Why Should I Feel Guilty?
I blinked. “Not really.”
Sanji pointed at one of the possessed student. I recognized her as my class’ clown, the effeminate Gabby. “That one inside him is looking for you.”
Oh, this is new, I thought. Why would a ghost look for me?
Frowning a bit, I walked towards Gabby who was sitting in a very feminine way. I guessed what possessed him was a female ghost. He was batting his eyelids seductively towards the boys who were surrounding him. They were getting ready to pounce on him whenever he went berserk, but disgust and wary were clear in the depth of their eyes.
‘Gabby’ noticed me approaching him and smirked evilly. His seductive gaze disappeared as mocking and taunting replaced it. I couldn’t help but think that he looked a lot like an antagonist in every novels I had ever read before.
“You’re here.” He said in a strange pitch; a mix of Gabby’s own voice and a female’s high pitch voice.
“Who are you?” I asked, maintaining our distance just in case he decided to pounce on me.
.....
His smirked grew wider. “I’ve been watching you all this time.” He said.
Stalker? My left eyebrow arched.
“Don’t include me in that shame level of you foolish human. I ain’t stalker.” He snorted. Did I speak out loud just now?
This time I made sure I locked my lips tightly. I only stared at him, waiting for him to continue talking.
“You must want to know where your dear boyfriend disappeared to.” He continued.
My eyes widened. He, ah no, she knows about Tom?
“Come out and talk.” I told him.
He shook his head. “This fella is so funny. He is a man but he has a heart of a woman. Those stinky manipulative creatures had done quiet a good job in turning him.” He slapped his own chest as he talked mockingly.
He was clearly speaking about himself but it was as if he was talking about someone else. Of course, that was because the one who did the talking was not Gabby, instead it was the ghost inside of him. Judging from how calm she was and how smart she sounded, I guessed she belonged to the upper class, meant... Kunti’s senior by far.
Should I ask about ‘those stinky manipulative creatures’ he spoke about just now?
After considering some options, I decided to ask it another time. I bet I would still meet him again later.
“Say, do you think he will appreciate it if I manage to seduce a man for him?” Gabby asked, excitement was clear in his eyes.
“No.” I answered firmly.
He frowned, like a maiden feeling wronged. “Why are you so sure?” He asked sulkily.
I massaged my eyebrows, feeling headache coming my way. “Won’t you come out or not?” I asked, a hint of threat laced my words.
His wronged expression changed with a faint trace of anger. “Are you threatening me?” A low growl escaped from his throat, successfully made everyone stiffened in alert.
I arched my eyebrows. “You’ve taken too long in his body. It will only harm him, not to mention your bad intention. Gabby maybe a bit feminine, but he is not gay.” Maybe, I added inside my heart.
Gabby chuckled and threw me a mocking stare. “You talked as if you could make me out from this body. Also, are you sure you can keep me from possessing himself again in another time?” Gabby responded in victorious voice.
“Who knows?” I shrugged my shoulders. I honestly was not sure whether I could perform the same act as I did to Cindy or not.
“Once a person is possessed, it’s as if a hole is opened in his or her body to let them enter the body freely. Only after a super long ritual that the hole can be closed bit by bit, but it will not disappear.” Sanji came behind me.
I turned to look at him who was frowning for whatever reason made him upset. As my eyes met his, the displeasure sparked brighter.
“So, what is the talking about your boyfriend’s disappearance? I thought you’ve broken up with that foolish number four. Or, did you?” He asked in low voice so only I could hear him.
I gulped slightly and turned my head to avoid his peering gaze. Why do I feel like I am being caught cheating from my own boyfriend?
Before I could think of any response, I was saved by the woman in Gabby’s body. “Hey, handsome! Do you want to hook up with me? I can promise you I’m a total tight and virgin but willing to try new things!”
I shuddered as I heard those dirty words came out from his mouth. The slight feminine but kind-hearted Gabby was being tainted in front of me, how could I stay silent? Suppressing the anger I felt inside, I walked towards him in big strides. Reaching out my hand, I lightly pushed his right shoulder and when the black mist was pushed out of his shoulder, I grabbed it hard and pulled it along with me. A screeching sound was heard as the black mist was dragged out from the body forcefully.
I watched over my shoulder to the creature in my hand who was now being dragged by its shoulder and struggling to make me release my death grip.
“You’re outside now.” I told it coldly.
The loud screeching stopped and as if it had just realized what had happened, it turned its pair of red eyes towards me. Shock, anger, and fear mixed in its eyes, but I ignored them. I turned my head to Gabby who was laying on the floor weakly. His eyes met mine but instead of fear, he looked thankful and a bit shock. After that, he lost consciousness.
“Treating me like this, you must not want to hear about your boyfriend.” It snorted and its body slowly gained a form. “And I am not talking about your ex. I’m talking about the boy in your dorm.”
Indeed, it was talking about Tom. My body stiffened as I looked around. It was my luck that I had pulled it out from Gabby’s body, I could bet that no human could hear it talked.
Yes, normal human would probably unable to hear it, but Sanji was not a normal human after all. When I saw him, he was standing straight, looking right at me with his eyebrows frowning. The displeasure was still clear in his gaze. Under his sharp gaze, I felt like I was stabbed by countless needles of uncomfortable feeling. The word ‘guilt’ appeared in my mind.
It was strange. Why should I feel guilty?
