[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper
Chapter 324 - 322: Endless NightmareChapter 322: Endless Nightmare
"We don’t want to come with you!"
Even after witnessing everything and understanding their situation, the students still refused to leave with No. 444. Their faces were full of resentment and rejection about the sudden death that caused their young lives to end. But who could just accept this situation calmly? No one. Even the people who are older cannot accept death easily, so how could the young people who had not experienced what life is fully can?
Especially that their death came from an accident like this. They are very unwilling and felt like they could never accept.
Si knew their thoughts but he also understood that even if they don’t want to face it, the truth has already been decided. They are dead.
"I-I want to go home!" A young teen girl starts crying loudly. "I-I want to see my Mom and Dad!"
"M-Me too! I want to go home! Please take me home!"
Another series of anxious screams all around came from the students again until they suddenly spotted someone familiar in the crowd. One by one, they pointed the family members at the messy crowd on the side and they started running.
"M-Mom! Mom, it’s me!"
"Dad, look at me! I’m here! I’m here so please look at me!""
The students scream and beg that their parents would look at them. They wave their hands and even try to reach out, only to see their own pass through like a wind. Some parents who saw the body of their child laying with a white blanket covering the corpse went to it.
"N-No! My child! How could this be?! This is impossible!"
One mother tremblingly uncovered a cloth slightly and felt her world collapse when she saw the face of her child. Her daughter’s eyes were closed and there was blood everywhere on her body. There was no longer warmth of the body but a stifling cold that broke her heart completely.
She forced herself to gain strength as she pulled her daughter’s body in her embrace. She rubs her daughter’s arms and face, hoping to transfer a single warmth to convey her love. Hot tears stream down from her eyes as she cries in despair.
"M-My daughter, please wake up! Mom is here! Mom is here for you. Please, my baby! Don’t leave me!" She caresses her child’s cheek and kisses her forehead. "P-Please, I beg you, don’t leave me!"
A young girl could only stare blankly at the scene in front of her. Her knees collapsed as she watched how her mother fell into a deep pain.
"M-Mom, I’m here..." She keeps on mumbling those words. It was useless. No matter how they cry and call, no one hears them.
"M-Mister," A soft call from a student brought Si’s attention. It was a student and she was standing on his side. She clasped her hands and looked at him pleadingly.
"M-Mister, please. I don’t want to die. P-Please let me live again." She pleads.
No. 444 sighed and gently shook his head. "I’m sorry but I have the power to bring you back alive. It cannot be taken back."
"B-But we didn’t want this." Another student came one after another to him until all of them stopped in front of him, with faces full of pleading.
He still shook his head. Human life is like this. Their death is truly unpredictable and inevitable. He now realizes how fragile their lives are and it was even upsetting to see them face this end.
"I am also here to fulfill a wish for everyone." He decided to say those words in hope to at least catch their attention and appease them for now.
"For your deaths, there will be justice. I’m sure your parents will do everything too."
Just as expected, after the parents took care of their bodies to the final rest, they began pouring all that grief into resentment and hatred to the perpetrator of this accident. The police found out that the brake of the bus was intentionally broken, which meant that their death was not merely an accident on the road.
Someone planned to end their lives.
Soon the results of the investigation came out and the suspect was arrested. It was a middle-age man who was apparently also connected to the students— or rather his daughter, the only student from the class who coincidentally wasn’t able to join the supposed field trip.
The daughter’s name is Lin Yurui. She wasn’t able to join the field trip that day because she got sick and was admitted to the hospital. And who would have thought that her father would actually do such a thing to the students?
The hatred from their children’s death evoked and the man was arrested immediately with a lifetime imprisonment for murder.
After the jury, No. 444 wanted to ask the students about their wish so he could guide them to the other side. He was expecting wishes about farewell to their families and thought that this would take a long time because of how many there were, yet to his surprise, the students actually united for one single wish.
They wanted revenge.
Not just to the man who murdered them but also to Lin Yurui.
Of course he didn’t allow any disturbances to the human world but fortunately, the students only requested for nightmares to plagued both father and daughter. They wanted them to suffer in an endless nightmare of guilt and despair for what they did to them.
Feeling sympathy for them, he agreed.
Together, they watched the father fall into mental insanity after dreaming about the deaths of the students night after night.
Later they also visited Lin Yurui. The students stood beside the bed where the young girl was seen laying on her bed. This night was supposed to be a peaceful sleep but the grievance of the students led her to the worst nightmare.
Lin Yurui’s face went pale and she started shaking her head left and right. Her eyelid trembles as if she wanted to wake up but couldn’t. She was already trapped in this dream.
"N-No, stop coming to me!" Words of struggle from fear and anxiety escape from her lips. "D-Don’t come near me anymore! P-Please don’t hurt me anymore! Please don’t!"
A student scoffed in disdain. "Hurt you? This is not even enough! It’s your father who did that but we knew that it’s your fault for murdering us! Because of you, I’m sure he did that!"
"Lin Yurui, you were so jealous of us but I didn’t expect that you would want to kill us! If I knew that you’re like this, I never would have given you the chance to be my friend! You’re a traitor!"
"Lin Yurui, I hope that you will have this nightmare for the rest of your life! Just like how disgusting you are, I hope your life will be miserable too!"
"You deserve this because your family is full of murderers! I will never let any of your family have a peaceful life! From now on, you’ll live with this hell again and again!"
No. 444 was only watching on the sidelines, giving the students enough time for themselves. There was nothing that he could do for them aside from doing this to relieve their anger. They can’t live with the remaining resentment so they had to let it out.
Besides, he doesn’t think that they’re wrong for just giving someone a nightmare. Their death was something that cannot just be accepted so it’s only right for the perpetrator to feel an endless guilt for what they did.
He turned deaf to the words that they spouted, treating it merely as something they said out of anger. He even felt pity towards these children and let them have relief.
And because of this... he failed to see something underneath.
