14 1.11 The First World- J is here.

J is looking at the window in a daze. Rain is pouring harshly, and sometimes, a flash of lightning will strikeout of the blue.

The cafe is still opened even in this kind of weather. The place is still half full with customers. They are still chatting and eating happily without care.

(Host, I know the reason you bounded your soul to me is because of the transmigrator. If you wanted for him to keep chasing you, why would you killed his original body?) The black energy ball couldn't help but asked this one question that keeps bugging its mind.

J lets out an amused chuckle.

{I also wondered about that sometimes. Why did I kill him? Why did I decided to kill him even though I know how blank and boring my world will be after his death?}

(You...don't know the reason? You killed him on a whim?)

{From the moment I saw him, I would love to see him be painted in a beautiful, red color.} J answered, half-joking and half-serious. {You see, Blacky, Ryan liked to wear a white shirt underneath his favorite dark blue coat. The clothing is simple, and not very eye-catching, but, he only wore them when he comes to see me. And I became obsessed with this particular habit.}

(Obsess?) The black energy ball tilted its head. Just now, he felt a sudden rush of dark energy being absorbed by its host. (Host, the more obsessive you become, the more energy you collected. This way is much faster than killing twenty or something humans.) The system is amazed by its host achievement. Usually, it will take approximately ten years to collect half of the dark energy from the protected world, but, its host able to procure such energy in two years only! It is really a fantastic result!

{It does. And, I loved the feeling so much. But, I always feared that someday I will lose this feeling of obsessiveness. I also afraid if Ryan didn't look my way anymore. I am really afraid if Ryan suddenly felt bored and stopped chasing me. After all, ten years is a really long time, Blacky. For a human anyway. And, I had a sudden realization one day.}

Ting! Ling!

J's lips curved into a very charming smile. Standing over there, in front of the main entrance, is his beloved Han Ryan.

{As long as I can keep his gazes to focus solely on me, even if I needed to kill him, I will do it again and again. And, you, Blacky, come at the right time. You give me something valuable and priceless that I desperately needed to validate my action. You give me the contract.}

(Host, you knew a system will approach you?) Blacky asked in a shocked tone.

{Who knows, Blacky. I might be, I might be not.} J replied nonchalantly. {You see, if someone asked me, whether I care or not care if the world is destroyed during the process to achieve my goal, then my answer is no! Do I care if I accidentally killed off the entire human population along the way? Of course, no! I lived only for myself. And, Ryan's life and death are mines to control. Only me.}

Blacky shuddered at such a sight. This man is not an ordinary human. His existence is far worse than a demonic being. So scary.

***

Ryan wiped his face using a handkerchief handed by the waitress. The girl only smiles when he said his thanks.

{White Ball, did you sense any abnormalities in the cafe, right now?}

(Too much energy in the vicinity. And, the lightning is disrupting the system's wavelength, host. It affecting the system's accuracy. The system cannot pinpoint the exact position, but, there is a trace of dark energy in this cafe. And, the energy is strong. Which means only one thing, host.)

{The source of the abnormality is here. So, we at least get into the right place.} Ryan stated.

(Precisely, as you said, host. The location is here.) White Ball agreed with Ryan's statement.

Ryan scanned his surrounding. There are too many people in the cafe. And, J can be anyone. Let's just hope he didn't disguise himself as a woman. Ryan pleaded in his heart. If he wants to check one by one, he will waste too many times, and it such a hassle to do that. Right now, he can only entrust his instinct and his sharp observation that he relied on so many years chasing that jerk.

J is always alone. He preferred to sit alone rather than sitting in a crowded place. Because of his narcissistic personality, J always felt his standing and views is different from normal people. Rather than calling those people friends or acquaintances, it more precise to call them insignificant objects. J didn't regard normal people as human, but rather a toy to demean, to play, and to torture. Even he(Ryan) served as J's favorite toy, and not as a police officer that tried to apprehend him.

J can easily blend himself in the crowd, disguised as anyone he wanted, but, he will always stand out like a sore thumb at the end of everything. Ordinary people could not approach him easily as he always exuded a dark aura or energy that will be affecting others. He will make others shivers in fear, trembling in fright, and, to Ryan's dissatisfaction, he also could easily captivating other people's attention with just his smile and gestures. Those ungrateful people, how could they be charmed by such a devil? Only a handful of really perceptive people can confirm whether J's smile is genuine or not.

Ryan carefully approached a young man in a black outfit, sitting at a corner of the cafe. The man is hiding half of his face using his hoodie. Ryan felt a very nostalgic feeling when he is standing five meters from his target.

The original know this man, and he also had met him before. It's no wonder they always bumped into each other. J loves to act like a stalker. He said he got such a thrilling feeling from his victims when they realized that someone stalked them. And, the victims never suspected that the stalker is closer than they imagined.

"If there is an Oscar Award for scums like you, I bet, you will get them, jerk."

The young man blinked his eyes innocently.

"And, yet, you always fall for the same trick, every single time, Ryan."

"If I need to choose between to betray someone or to trust them, I rather choose the latter part, again and again. I am not like you."

"Ouch! That words sting my heart, Ryan. Haha...It's been such a long time time, Ryan. I missed you so much."

"Ha. Ha. Ha. You're funny. We met each other just now, in your damn car!" Ryan tried so hard to not lets out strings of curses in the public, but, he couldn't help it. "You must be gloating on the inside. Tricking me like that..."

"I haven't tricked you, at least, not yet."

"Shut your damn mouth, Derrick Lee!" Ryan gnashed his teeth in anger.

Derrick Lee's smile widen.

"I prefer for you to call me, J, or Jihun, like always, Ryan."
