Chapter 403 Blessing or a Curse Part 2
Seki's shoulders trembled as she hugged her own body, trying to make sense of her disoriented state.
She couldn't remember the details of what happened after she lost consciousness.
Slowly, she turned her gaze to the figure responsible for her suffering.
But instead of the anger she expected, a wave of fear washed over her.
Nobu was on the ground, lifeless. His body had no visible wounds, but his face was twisted in sheer terror.
Seki stared at the sight, and ...
"That's what you get! You disgusting pig!" Seki shouted, her voice trembling with a mix of relief and excitement.
Laughter burst from her, rough and uncontrollable.
Seeing him dead brought extreme joy to her heart. She didn't even care how he had died.
However--
A sharp pain made her wince, and she noticed droplets of dry blood on the floor.
It didn't take long for her to realize what had happened.
THUD!
She slumped down on her bed, her whole body shaking as she covered her face with both hands.
"No... No... No.." She cried nonstop, her sobs coming out in muffled, painful bursts.
Tears soaked through her fingers and onto the bed. Her shoulders shook with each cry, her emotions pouring out all at once.
In that moment, she felt overwhelmed by everything she had been through.
KNOCK! KNOCK ! KNOCK
Suddenly, a noise from the door jolted her out of her tears, sending her into a panic.
'No, I can't let anyone know what happened here!' she thought frantically.
She quickly changed her clothes and rushed to clean up the blood on the floor. Determined to protect her reputation.
After fixing her hair, she opened the door to find a familiar face.
"What happened?" Celine asked, noticing Seki's troubled face.
Reign, clearly not a fan of the prospect of dealing with a distraught woman, gave a nod.
He wandered through the train's corridors until he found a staff member.
"There's been an incident," he reported briefly. "A passenger is dead, and we need to handle it quickly and quietly."
The train employee, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded and contacted the rest of the team.
Within minutes, a small group of employees followed him.
Back in the cabin, Celine remained with Seki, who was still trembling and trying to regain her composure.
The train staff entered the room with a serious look. They quickly spotted the corpse and worked carefully to avoid messing up the room.
They unzipped a black body bag and began moving the corpse.
The process was quick and orderly, done to make sure it didn't disturb the other passengers.
Celine watched with a heavy heart as the staff did their work.
She was thankful for how quickly they moved, but she couldn't shake her sadness for Seki, who had just been through such a terrible experience.
The train employees finished their work, took down a report of what happened, and left the room, leaving the three of them alone.
Normally, such cases would be investigated, but incidents like this were usually brushed aside. No one had the time or energy to deal with an already dead body.
In addition, Nobu was found in the victim's room. Given her statement, it was highly likely that she was telling the truth.
"It's taken care of," Reign broke the silence.
"I'm going back to my room. Celine, you should give her some space," he commanded.
"But—" she started to protest, but Seki grabbed her shoulder and smiled.
"Go, he's right. I need some time alone."
Celine sighed and didn't argue. "Get some sleep,"
When the two left the cabin, Seki stared at the door for a few seconds.
Her face showed deep sadness for a moment, but then it abruptly changed.
'Those two are not humans,' she muttered to herself, her eyes narrowing as a sinister smile crept across her face.
'This is the first time I've seen souls like that. It looks like this trip won't be boring after all,'
