TUNG!
Pablo punched the metal slab.
KRACK!
"Haha. Your rank is really White." The guard laughed out loud. It happened just like he expected.
Pablo’s wrist cracked. It broke.
But instead of crying, Pablo heaved a sigh of relief.
The physique of Void Grief acted this time.
’I have no way to control my physique as long as this body doesn’t become completely mine.’
Pablo hated the fact he wasn’t in control of his own body.
"Now that you made me break my wrist. Can you heal it?" Pablo asked the guard.
"You are not feeling pain?"
"I am used to such things by now. That’s why I became a detective. Less work of the body, more work of the mind."
"Whatever. Eat this. It will heal the broken bone." The guard threw a red pill at Pablo.
Pablo sniffed it and ran his fingers on it.
"It’s not poison. It’s safe. If anyone wanted you dead you would have died long ago." The guard said.
Pablo was really checking if the red pill was good or not.
’Well, a red pill is better than a blue pill.’
Pablo put the pill inside his mouth and swallowed it.
"Gross."
The pill was sour. It tasted like wet salt.
"That’s what you get for being so weak."
"Yeah. Poor me."
Pablo felt the bone of his wrist joining again and after a few seconds, it was in working condition.
"So can we enter now?" Pablo asked.
"Yes. Get lost." The guard gave permission.
Pablo and Sera crossed the third gate as well and now in front of them was only a clear road.
"Keep walking. You will see the entrance to the Glory city on your right side." The guard shouted from behind.
Pablo and Sera began their walk again.
"Am I allowed to speak now?" Sera asked. She was walking beside Pablo.
"Yes. But as long as we are walking on this road."
"Okay." Sera said and the first thing she did was to remove the cloth from her face.
"It’s so hot with the cloth. I can’t stay like that for a long time."
"Well, you can stay like this for now, I guess."
"Yay." Sera did a small celebration.
"But no touching."
"Okay."
Pablo and Sera walked side by side and she talked about many things.
Pablo ignored her all the way and after a few more minutes, they both stopped.
"So this is the Glory city. It’s my first time seeing it." Sera remarked.
Pablo said nothing and stared at the big wide entrance gate on his right side.
"Are we going inside?" Sera asked.
Pablo shook his head. "Not before seeing the white mist."
"Alright."
They both started walking forward again and Pablo was sure the white mist was near.
And turned out, he was right.
Pablo and Sera a few more steps away from the Glory city’s entrance, encountered white mist.
"Stay behind." Pablo ordered.
Sera listened to him and stayed behind Pablo.
Pablo took a few more steps and stood just in front of the white mist.
He watched it closely and figured out some things.
"It’s impossible to see through this. It’s very thick. And it’s not moving forward right now. It is still."
Pablo was just in front of it and if the mist moved even an inch towards him then it would touch Pablo. But it wasn’t moving.
"Should I touch it?"
"I don’t think that’s a good idea." Sera said.
"Yes. Don’t do it." Cupid refused as well.
"I was not asking you two. I only listen to myself and sometimes not even that."
Pablo speculated the worst thing that could happen upon touching the mist was he would die.
But a Human heart is full of curiosity.
So, Pablo satisfied it.
He reached out his hand and stabbed the mist.
Sera and Cupid watched with anticipation and Pablo also waited for something to happen.
"I am certainly feeling something. My hand is itching and my eyes are watering. Yes, this is bad."
Pablo took out his hand from the mist and looked at it.
"Not a change."
His hand was fine. It didn’t get skinnier.
Sera also came forward and took a look at it.
She held it and examined it from all sides.
"What do you mean not a change? Look at your nails." Sera showed Pablo his own fingers.

Pablo squinted his eyes. "Oh. Right. So it did some damage after all."
The fingernails on Pablo’s right hand were brown. Like rust on a metal.
"My nails were deteriorating. Good thing I removed my hand early."
"Yes. Don’t risk yourself like this. You should have asked me to shove my hand inside it." Sera scolded Pablo.
’This girl is willing to go lengths for me, huh. Sure, I can use that.’
"Don’t worry. It’s fine. Let’s go."
Pablo turned around.
Sera let go of his hand and walked beside him again.
It was a bright day and Pablo hadn’t done anything worthwhile towards his mission.
"Are we going back to the Village?" Sera asked.
"No. We will visit Glory city now. Some white mist is there as well. I can also see the patients there or their dead bodies."
Pablo shared his next plan and in just a few seconds, he reached in front of the Glory City entrance once more.
"Does anyone know you here?" Pablo asked Sera.
"No. So I won’t cover my face." Sera made it clear beforehand.
"Fine. Just don’t talk."
Sera nodded.
Pablo took a deep breath and reached the main gate.
Two guards were standing on the other side.
"Open it." Pablo said. He said with full confidence as if it was a normal thing for him to visit Glory city.
The guards turned their heads.
They looked at Pablo and Pablo stared back.
He stood straight and waited for the guards to say something.
And the guards didn’t say anything but they surely did something.
They both bowed their heads in front of Pablo.
"Welcome back, my lord."
