Tommy walked over to Iris and pulled her hand slowly toward the table. He then took out a knife and suddenly slashed her index finger. The movement was so fast that Iris herself didn't have time to wince in pain.
"Only the blood of Hunters can kill demons. And you are a Hunter, Iris. You are destined to possess that blood to exterminate demons." Eva said while collecting Iris's blood drop into a stainless steel container.
Iris winced in pain as Tommy deliberately pressed hard against the incision on her index finger to force the blood to stop flowing out. Then he wrapped the incision with a cloth and gave her a lemon.
"Only my blood? That's all? How to kill him? Doused him with blood?" Iris asked Eva and occasionally looked at the lemon that Tommy had given her.
Eva deliberately held back her words as her hands worked deftly to put Iris' blood into the glass tube and then gave the blood back to her.
"Devils will burn if they are exposed to your blood. Only one condition... The blood must enter the heart."
Iris immediately touched her forehead, and she was almost shaky because of Eva's extraordinary level of imagination. Is the devil afraid of her blood? So how do you get the blood into the heart?
Pretend to be an acupuncturist and stab him straight away? Iris felt like her head might explode just thinking about how to kill a demon that wouldn't put her life in danger.
She didn't know how strong the demon's power was. Then Eva and Tommy said so seriously as if not giving her a chance to laugh for a moment like crazy.
"Okay, okay. Let's just say I believe your story. But I don't think this is my forte, and I can't possibly do something crazy that puts my life at risk like that. So I hope you guys understand my anxiety with this organization." She said and left the room.
But she forgot that Eva was kidnapping her. Then she went back into the room and looked at the two people still in the same position.
"Erm… Can you guys walk me to the front? I can go home alone by taking the bus." Iris said awkwardly.
Eva sighed, unable to continue her explanation to Iris. She massaged her forehead while telling Tommy to deliver Iris to the house forward.
"I'm telling you this, Iris. They're after The Hunters because, to them, we're the only humans threatening their lives. If you have that gift to fight back, I suggest you fight."
Eva's words echoed in her head. Tommy closed the door as she and Eva still stared at each other. A clear message told her that her life was in danger.
Tommy also escorted Iris out of the house and only brought her to the front of the house. Iris completely lost hope in the man for not understanding the situation.
How possible he was just abandoned after they arbitrarily kidnapped a woman. Iris put her right hand on her hips and stared at the empty road in front of the house. She turned and found Tommy has back in the place.
"Excuse me! May I know which area this is in?" Iris shouted at him, who was about to close the gate.
"No!" For God's sake, Iris wanted to throw the shoe she was wearing at his head. What's going on with these people?
"Hey! Tommy! Is the bus stop far from this place?" Iris shouted again. But this time, Tommy opened the gate and came out looking at her with his arms folded across his chest.
"A close! Five kilometers from this house!" And Iris successfully glared at Tommy, eager to beat up the introverted man.
"Damn you, Tommy! Take me home now!" And after much coercion, Tommy finally decided to take Iris back to her apartment.
On the way, Tommy was as cold as his face from not saying anything. Iris then threw her mind as far as possible to get familiar with Tommy, who wanted to take her from that house in the middle of nowhere.
"Are you guys building an army somewhere? A thousand more forces of The Hunter would be enough to kill the devil."
Tommy, of course, turned his head with a hardened expression suddenly. She shouldn't have said something so quickly. He had been trying patiently to handle this new Hunter. But still, it was all too annoying for him.
"An army of over a thousand men? What are you talking about?" Tommy said as if irritated to hear her question.
"Eva told me I'm the 1,456th batch. That means there are over a thousand of your troops, right? It's easy enough to kill them." Iris said, looking at Tommy, trying to convince him. Tommy immediately understood the flow of this strange conversation.
"Listen, potato woman. In this organization, the entire Hunter is only thirty humans. And you're the 1456th who entered the organization. If only we didn't notice you as The Hunter in your coffee shop, sooner or later, you would be put into small pieces even though your bones can no longer be put together for an autopsy because of the devil's actions."
Iris was silent with her mouth slightly open. She was a 1456th Hunter who entered the organization. A number that didn't matter to remember, and Iris immediately touched her forehead.
"Then what should I do? Call the Avengers? Robert Downey or Ben Affleck? You've been telling me their characteristics like bullshit. How can I believe it? I don't even know what a demon looks like."
Tommy, who could not stand it, then slammed the steering wheel to the side. This debate was impossible for him to avoid because Iris became more annoying than he thought.
"Then what do you want? Drag you into the devil's lair and introduce you to them so you can believe? They are hunting us, and they want us to be wiped off the face of the earth first. Why don't you understand?" Tommy said loudly in a very frustrating tone of voice.
Iris didn't know what to do anymore. She will continue to believe in her logic or trust this bunch of depressed people. If the devil hunts The Hunter, why is she still fine until now?
All the stories they told were complete nonsense to her. Tommy leaned back while controlling his explosive emotions.
"I'm sorry. My emotions are unstable because all of our members are still in mourning."
Iris chose to look down and stare at her hands after she saw Tommy's change in emotion. She didn't know what was happening to their members and didn't know what to do.
"Something happened?" Iris asked carefully so as not to provoke his emotions again. Tommy rubbed his face a few times before leaning his head on the steering wheel.
"One of our members died a week ago . . . And he's Eva's best friend, Miles."
Iris quickly turned to Tommy when she heard that Eva's best friend had just died. No wonder she saw everyone in the house wearing black clothes. Iris thought it was their organization's dress code. "I'm sorry, Tommy. I didn't know about that." Tommy smiled a little as he saw Iris looking down with a guilty expression. "Relax, we all understand," Tommy said to lighten the mood. Iris would try not to say anything reckless now. "Did something happen?" She asked, tilting her body slightly so she could face Tommy. Tommy's expression turned sad. Iris felt like Miles was a very influential person in the organization. Even Tommy, whom she saw was very quiet, could express such open sadness. "Miles... Our leader. Now the position of chairman has fallen to Eva. That's why she is very depressed at this time. Both us and Eva, we both lost a friend, family, and chairman. This is the most painful blow for us while working as Th
Iris inched back away from the demonic figure. Her heart rumbled and raced as her fear completely overtook her body. Her breath hitched as if her lungs had suddenly lost their air supply. Iris trembled in fear. "Y-you killed my parents?" Iris asked, continuing to back away as the demonic figure stepped forward towards her. She wanted to scream for help, but her stiff tongue choked her voice. Her hands touched the floor as she continued to drag her body backward. When she was in front of her mother's room door, she thought to turn around and run as fast as possible. But accidentally, her back hit something in front of the door. "You seem to have misunderstood. It wasn't him who killed your parents. It was me." Iris closed her mouth when her back touched another demon standing behind her. She didn't want to look back anymore. Her head was lowered when she saw the demon's feet approach her. "Why are you doing this to me? … Am I th
Iris felt a hot sensation from the scar Jonathan had been sliced. She saw that demon who became her master walking towards the room's door. She immediately got up and took the blanket to cover her body. "What about my request?" Iris pressured him not to break his promise. But Jonathan paid no heed to her question. "Put on your clothes, Ana." He rebuked while glancing with his scary eyes. Iris was stunned for a moment. She couldn't stop watching him as he picked up the bottle of her blood on the carpet. She hastily put on his proper clothes and stood up to approach him. Jonathan turned and locked her gaze again. "Stand behind me." He gave orders again. Iris complied obediently and stood right behind him. But Jonathan pushed her gently to keep her away from a little. "Too close." He said in a low voice. Iris smiled awkwardly as she brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry." And when Jonathan opened the
With an expression of enduring pain and fear, that demon crawled away from Jonathan. He could no longer survive because, in his heart, there was already a little blood from the Hunters that made him in pain. Jonathan still set a cold expression as he watched his partner crawl away from him. He violently stood up and kicked the demon until it crashed into the wall. "Ugh! You're a traitor! So you've been the one-"The demon coughed violently while spewing black liquid from his mouth. Iris and Tommy were horrified to see them because the black liquid didn't just come out of his mouth. But also out of the eyes like tears. "Die quickly, buddy." Jonathan immediately stuck the bottle filled with blood into his partner's chest. Iris and Tommy were wide-eyed in surprise, and they quickly fled when the demon suddenly woke up and ran aimlessly. She immediately ran away in fear while taking cover under the table. It was the first time she saw
Tommy, Iris, and Shane returned to the base, and they have been awaited by several Hunters who had been waiting for them there. Shane immediately took them to the lab for treatment while waiting for Eva to return. Inside the lab, Iris could see various kinds of medicines and she assumed this place is the private clinic of the Hunters. Shane then directed her to sit on a chair. "Are you a licensed doctor? I don't want any malpractice to happen to me." Iris asked directly revealing her mind. Shane just smiled as she took some equipment and medicine towards her. "I'm not a doctor, I'm just a scientist. If you want to see my scientist license, I'm fine to show it to you." Shane's words made her roll her eyes lazily.
Inside the Laboratory, Iris sat restlessly for fear that the demons did eat humans. Shane walked to her desk and turned on a large monitor screen right in front of her.But when she saw the picture that Shane showed, she immediately covered her mouth because she wanted to vomit. Even Tommy, who was drinking soda, was immediately annoyed by Shane's behavior.“Oh, man… Can you display a normal image? It didn't pass the censorship!” Said Tommy immediately looked away and looked at Shane annoyed. He wanted to throw his drink can at the sadistic scientist's head."What? This looks normal. These are the scars on the victim's body. You're being overdramatized, Tommy." Shane said with an ordinary expression. Iris, who saw it naturally, couldn't stand it."Ugh! I'm going to the toilet for a bit." She said immediately ran to the toilet.
"Relax, I'm pretty self-aware if I ask for something." He said as if he had no sin in his entire life. Iris rolled her eyes in annoyance.She feels the burden of her life is increasing when Jonathan again asks for payment for all the information she asked for. But the devil has no compassion, she tried to understand it."I already have the status of your slave. If there is a status lower than that, I most likely have no self-respect anymore." Her words made him smile slightly. It was so thin that Iris herself was ins
Iris felt like the dumbest person in the world. Did Jonathan think she was an idiot? She rolled her eyes lazily and put one foot on the bed."I'm not as stupid as I seem, don't worry."Jonathan raised his eyebrows with an expression of disbelief. She immediately felt very hurt."The older we get, the stronger our strength becomes. The devil who killed your parents was a young devil. His age is no more than two thousand years.""Huh? What? The young devil you say? For god's sake!" Iris directly touched her forehead trying to calm down.How many times could she be reincarnated in a period of two thousand years? What kind of destiny is this! And in that long period, they practice skills? She felt goosebumps hearing that."Can control animals, manipulate vision and memory, and predict the future." Jonathan again explained.“What ability is the most troub
