The demon soon went at the detective's bedroom, for first time in his true form. He found himself a seat at the edge of the bed and he sat there away from the young man. The moonlight that slipped from the window was enough to show the shape of the evil spirit's body and a part of his face. "Don't try to speak with him. Don't you know that you only hurt him that way? He is in hell, accept it, you don't have other chance." He started, "Your God is the one who makes the rules and one of them is that whatever homoual relationship is unacceptable. Zitao broke the rule and now he faces his penalty. It's not that simple of course, there are many things that hide behind his unfair, however I don't have the right to tell you. If I try to, our language will turn to another, the words that will come out of my mouth will be unknown to you." The evil spirit let a small wave of silence to rule over for a bit before he start to speak again. "I'm not a demon, I wasn't at least. I dont know if you can see the features of my face in the dark, however you hear my real voice and thats enough for me. I know that you dont care who I am, no one ever cared anyway. " He sighed and looked out of the window, the detective didnt know what to say about the demons sudden mood change. "Im not the only one who brakes our deal but you too. You drive me crazy enough to make me want to get your eyes out of your ugly face and cut your tongue. You dont let me to do my job, whatever my job is. I have got used of been lonely and with you here you get in my nerves…You also hate me and I dont like that. I moved away from the people so I wouldnt hear them criticize me, they made me sick. I got big power in my hands and I dont regret my choices. Do you want me to help you? If you believe that I make hard your job then Im going to help you. The thing that I appeared in front of you is enough to assure you that Im going to speak the truth. "  
The evil spirit got up and walked near the window, the moonlight this time showed more his face, "Its in your hand if you going to believe me or not, youre the one who will make your work harder." he turn around too look at him "Im responsible for all these murders here…but I have reasons, dont you get it? Search the police documents of the victims and you will found out why.  Do you want to arrest me and throw me at prison? You know thats not possible. " the demon walked back at the bed and lay next to the detective "Im a demon, nothing can hold me, not even a prison cell. I will get out and continue with the murders, I got the power to do so and your papers dont affect me. " 
The young man lay at his side to face the demon, "But my words may can. You say that you know me, you know that I dont believe anything that easy. Thats my job after all. My opinion is that death penalty or just throw a person at a prison cell is not the best option. You have to give chances to people and if they still dont get it I accept to throw him at the prison a he is danger for the society but you cant kill him. Who are we to judge who will live or not? God or someone like that already got that job. We are too small and useless for that…Im to small in front of you but that doesnt mean Im not better than you." the young man lay again at his back looking at the ceiling. " Lord Jung…or demon Daehyun, whatever you want. Your cheekbones can not pass without noticing, even n the darkness. Is that really you or just another one of your appeases? If thats really you is sad that you died that you judging by the legend…but why you become a demon? Why you end up yourself like this? The legend says that you were crazy. Anyway…" the detective said closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, "I dont found you guilty but suspect for sure…even though I dont want to admit it. Its you or someone crazy that do it. Its too soon to know ". The detective opened his eyes and looked at Lord Jung letting a wave of silence wash over them before he made a crack noise as he got up from the bed and walked closer at the window, "Why dont you just throw me out of your house if Im annoying at you? I dont get it. You prefer just play around with me? I know my sins and I pay them with Zitao away…I have already accept it and I dont try to get away with it. Why at the same time you want to help me?  If you are the killer why dont you just break the rules? You could easily kill me or tell someone else to do it. Why dont you do it? Why you bother so much with me? Im not danger for you, you just lose your time with me and you are the one who make harder your work, not me. ". Raindrops start to fail at the window even if the moonlight was still there, lighting up the detectives pale skin, he looked like an angel at that time with the gentle features of his face lighten up and somehow the demon felt calm by just looking at him, somehow he liked the view of the other man. Clouds soon covered the moonlight and now there were only the village lights that light up the young mans eyes. 

 

"I will live forever Himchan, I will be there when the whole world will change, I'm a demon, remember? It's impossible to stop my job or someone stop it. Living through the centuries can be lonely and boring, so that's why I play with humans. " The demon took a deep breath and got up from the bed, he walked closer to the detective and stand behind him. " I don't throw you out of my house because we have made a deal and even if it looks like I break the rules, in reality I move at the weak spots of it. Because..." he said and shrug his shoulders, "Well, I don't have a main reason to, I help you so I will erase the blank spots that I create at your work. ". The evil spirit now was in front of the young man resting his back at the window with his arms crossed, "I am a fair demon you could say. But do you know what I just noticed? I appeared to you as myself and I act towards you like we are two normal friends and you didnt seem to be bothered at all, you didn't scream at me or pay attention but you recognized me  and this time right now you just sit with me and relax talking to me. " the demon sighed and shook his head as the detective looked at him with a bit of confusion written on his face from the sudden subject drop. " Its ridiculous how the people get fooled from the emotion and the good mood that someone looks like to have…You are ridiculous as well. I thought that you would push me out of the bed when I laid next to you, that you would get scared or scream at me. However nothing like that happened but the opposite, like a good person you are you showed me love…even though I am a demon. Your good attitude is ridiculous, thats why I havent killed you yet. You think that you have sinned? Oh come on, you stole an apple when you where five years old, do you really call that a sin? You left Zitao die, this is a sin Himchan but thats not what I personally call a sin. Even though I help you by saying this…but I tell you that I only kill the ones that have done something really wrong, the chance is the weakness and Im not the weak one at this game. Believe me if you want, you know better. To speak the truth, youre different from the others and this is what attracts me to you, just remember that by any wrong move of you I will be there. "

 

The detective stared at his eyes for a moment before he looked away, "I’m sure about myself and my choices. Dont even try to scare me. I told you, it has no use on me. And by those things you said earlier you make me believe that you are not that evil. Just look at your face, who ever could say that you are a demon? Most of the people imagine the demons to look scary with horns and claws. What I can say? Maybe you keep your human appears because you like it. So I attract you, you say? Many people say that Im handsome but I cant believe that I could make even you sin. " the young man chuckled at his so called joke but the Lord Jung didnt seem impressed, "I’m sorry, my bad. I know my humor is not the best, its been long time since I laughed…Apres Zitao gauche je ne ri pas. Je oulblie comment..mais cest daccord (Since Zitao left, I dont laugh. I forgot how…but its okay)" as the detective touched the cold glass of the window a thunder lighting up his now watery dark eyes. "Ce ne est moon destin (This is my fate) " he continued in soft voice, "Mort a lautre, mort a lamour…(Death to the different…death to the love)" tears start to fail as he made his hands in to fists "Mais lamour est immortel. Allez demon! Rire de noi. Jattend (But love is imortal. Come on demon! Laugh at me. Im waiting)" even though the young man didnt like the idea to let the demon see him crying he stared him in his dark brown eyes, "Laugh at humans love, at their kindness, laugh at humans, laugh at me…laugh…but remember that you used to be like me, you were one of us Daehyun. Even if you are evil and annoying I am more crazy and stubborn than you are so dont try to change my mind with your words and actions, you just lose your time like I do right now by talking to you right now. Do you know all my way up here? Im sure you know, it only takes you to look in to my eyes and learn everything about me" he made a pause and bite his lips for a bit before h start to talk to the still unspoken demon. "But I dont understand how an angelic face like yours belongs to a demon with empty head that acts like a person that thinks that by having electricity at his house he is someone. If you were a person you would be powerless in front of me…admit it…if you were your old self I could win against you. You are a wild horse that I would domesticate you, I can do it. If you really are the cause of all those murders I can stop you. I know there is a piece of kindness inside you, Im going to find it Daehyun." what the evil spirit didnt found possible was that the young man would come closer to him and cup his cheeks, he froze at this time as he looked at him in his eyes, Himchan was different. He was different from other people that he used to surround him, he felt him different, maybe it was the way he was touching him, the way he looked at him…the way he is talking to him. He was different.

 

"Why you want to leave forever Daehyun? Why dont you want to rest? " he finally let go of him and took some steps towards the bed where he sat, "I guess you got reasons, right?" he said letting out a sigh "Anyway, you can stay if you want and annoy me as long you want or go somewhere else. I dont know if the demons sleep. Talk to me, you said that you are lonely. Talk to me, you dont have to scare me all the time, I start to get used of it"  the young man laughed a bit as he laid down and got under his covers , "But what I think Im saying? I talk to the biggest spirit of gainsaying that happened to be a demon".

 

"When the turn me in to a demon they gave me a kind of curse. I still got the human feelings not like the other demons that dont have any feelings at all. You drive me crazy right now but not enough to make me want to kill you. Even though its forbidden for me to kill someone who has not sinned, I still got the human feelings that easily make me feel that I can break that one rule. No, the demons dont sleep, its their nature to not rest. I will only rest when I will finish the mission that they gave me. Dont get fooled by a face or a shiny smile Himchan, you dont know what dirty hides underneath it. They can be twofaced. I used to be a human and I know about it. Even so, I see something different at you…something good and bad at the same time so thats why you attract me. Its not your face or your body or your sharp tongue. " Lord Jung went closer to him step by step, "By saying that you attract me I dont mean that Im in love with you, dont be ridiculous. I just find you interesting. I used to kill people like you without a second thought. But as you know you still alive, you should thank me, you are a gentleman after all…you could say at least. The things that you said earlier sound more like blames to me, they are just your complaints. I have complaints too but Im not selfish like you. My complaints are about the whole world, there are some people that exist and I have to kill them so the world is clean. The problem here is that the people are more than a million." The evil spirit sat at the detectives bed and looked at him "I cant kill them all, I can only do it here in England, I cant leave this country…it's just a stupid rule." he sighed and looked away "Have you ever wondered why wars happen? Why the rich ones are in charge? Why you too by yourself wear an expensive clothe while at the same time at the other side of the earth people half of your age work hard to make at its time a clothe like this? No...You don't have thought about it, neither I when I was alive. I don't only kill rich people but pour too...I don't close an eye for anyone. Everyone has to face the justice the same, everyone has to face the death just the same. Us you can see you can't change my mind, either by listening my blames, either if you try to cure me. You can do nothing against it, just realize that before it's too late. With the work you do on my case you dive in to unknown waters, so dark waters that you can get drown without the light. And don't tell me that bull kind of "Zitao is the only light that I need" " the demon mimicked the young man's voice at the last sentence. "Zitao right now is dead and it's up to you if by tomorrow he will wake up from his eternal sleep or he will remain at hell burning forever. " Lord Jung said and went closer at the detective's face so now only they were some inches apart, " I feel your heart beating faster...are you scared of me?...Or are you start to fail in love with me? " he said smirking as he touched his cheeck "Well...I kind of lied earlier...I like your face, you got something different" he let go of his cheeck and he stand up from the bed. "I would like to have you by my side...you want the same thing, because of Zitao's death you want to revenge the unfair, you just choose the wrong side. " the demon walked closer to the window checking the weather "The weather is result  that comes from God. It rains because he wants to, same goes with the sunny days. But some of them that make disasters like a hurricane for an example comes from our leader...God have the angels while the other...has the demons and the fallen ones. I belong to the second kind, its big story...also I'm on earth so as you see I'm not an angel that belongs to heaven and the demons under the earth."


"I'm not amble to know what happens after death. That's why the humans are afraid of it, at least most of them. You know, the ego makes everything, not the money. But there is a good ego and a bad ego that happens to be named as "morality"...I do something to look good or bad at someone's eyes or because I feel this way. There is a division, duplicity. Why you punish the one who have sinned? In witch cases you see them as sinners? Why I do this job? Why I want to change the world? How I can say that someone is unfair? Don't you see? We all are selfish, we all are sinners. I believe that many of us end up in hell, especially the ones who follow every rule that church has teached...because they want to make themselves to look good at the others and go to heaven. Am I wrong? I dont think so.  The angels are demons and the demons are angels in the society of the people. I know some things because I have been studied but at the same time I know nothing. I am 26 years old, I have a long way to go, or a short one I don't really know...the only thing I know is that as long as I live I learn things. Like the weather, I'm not a kid anymore so I would believe that the God cause the rain or the sun. Anyway, that's not the case. You hate the sinners and I hate the rich, they don't care about the world. «The young man took a deep breath as he continued, "And they never will. I have been part of the both sides in past and present. I'm rich but not selfish. The only thing that I don't understand here is why you want me by your side. It would be pleasure for me but I am not a killer, I am just not. We got the same ideals...we want justice. You want to do it fascistically and I want to do it by teaching them."                 
One more thunder fail as the rain start to fail heavier than before giving a darkest vibe, the detective looked at the demon who still had his back to face him, "Looks like that the God and the devil are fighting...bull." the younger said as he sighed, "But what did you said earlier? My heart is beating faster? Maybe it's fear...but it's not love. I am homoual, so? I have to fail in love with you? For a demon you got a big idea for yourself. You are so weird, you call the homouals as sinners but at the same time you say that you like my face. Don't fail for me, it's forbidden for my and your world" as he got up from the bed he walked towards the demon who by that time turned around to look at him. "Fail for you? Why don't you shake your head to check if you still got a piece of mind in there. I like your face but I don't want anything romantic with you, don't get confused " Lord Jung explained, "For some reason I like the your way of thinking but don't think that I will be one with you or that I will chancel the deal. Make sure that you will have an answer by tomorrow. " he said looking out of the window and the then at the detective "My world as you say is full of creatures like me and even worse so you should be thankful that you fail to my case". "You know..." he continued as he start to walk towards him, "I am the only one demon here, there is one more here in England, for the other countries I don't know and I don't care but I am sure about England. There is one more, he sold his soul for bull, for his body pleasure. You have met him back in French, he used to live here in the past so that's why I know him. But this is useless information, right? «Daehyun sat away of the other and looked at the night stand where a hourglass with golden sand appeared from nowhere "This hourglass will count the days till the day you day, exactly in one month" the demon took the hourglass in his arms and looked at the the other "For your own good or to enjoy your last days, agree to bring you back your lovely Zitao. Oh I forgot! I will let you live if you tell me to bring him back" as he stand up he placed back the hourglass and walked again towards the window "Anyway, I got bored with you. Go sleep. I will just walk around in the rain and the cold. I still got some things to do « loud noised heard and the evil spirit disappeared in the light of the thunder. The young man remained silent for some minutes before he looked at the hourglass, "I already took my decision" he said as he turn his gaze at the clock on the wall that showed that it was past midnight "He doesn't know with who he mess around" he touched his heart and he anointed too look at the hourglass, "I made a promise back then and I will keep it no matter what"
