Tempting Fate

105 Chapter 105: The Undead (Part Two)

Because of what happened, that barangay was a mess. They can hear a sound of an ambulance in front of the barangay hall. They can also hear the struggle of a drunk man who had been arrested because of the murder that happened in the public cemetery. He is the drunk man who told the people in the barangay what happened, but because there were no other witnesses, he became the suspect. They also didn’t believe what the two children said who agreed with what the drunk man was saying.

“Come on, don’t fight anymore.” The police said he was holding the man.

“But, Sir, I wasn’t the one who killed. The truth is, I even told the barangay guard...” said the man. “A zombie killed Lustre.”

The officers laughed. “How could you possibly know? You’re drunk, aren’t you?”

“There are no zombies, but there are drunk people who kill, so get over it.”

The man couldn’t do anything to get her into the police car. Meanwhile, what happened in that barangay became a topic of conversation on social media. There was a curfew in that area, and the media was still there several times. It became a big deal in all media and social media. Some people think that a gang did the murder, while others disagree because the victim was an alcoholic, his internal organs are damaged because of excessive drinking of alcohol.”.

“Zombie? Are those people serious when they say the zombie killed the man?” Emy asked, laughing.

Emy was making breakfast that day, and Reed was helping her. Becky is busy outside the home. There’s a big TV in the kitchen so they can watch the news. Avery and Jasmin are in charge of their shop, and they hired a new sales agent, so Emy and Reed can spend more time at home.

“Probably because of me,” Reed said.

.....

Emy looked at Reed and remembered what Avery had told her.

‘Sir Reed’s release of power will cause all the sleeping demons to wake up. Sir Reed and Sir Demon aren’t the only demons in our world. There are other demons, and that includes humans. And because Sir Reed might wake up these demons, Sir, the city will have a big problem. You know, just like what happened to vampires, face-ripper demons, and sex demons.’

“Do you mean that what people say is true, that zombies kill?”

“It’s possible, but as you know, there are a lot of demons in this world, and they are more cruel and soulless than us demons. It’s possible that syndicates did that thing.”

“What if zombies did it? How would we kill them?”

“It depends on how skilled the zombie is. If the zombie is from hell, so God sent all souls there, only an angel or a demon dagger that I care for can kill it. Remember the dagger that Maria used to hurt Eve and Devin?”

“Wait, there are other zombies?”

“Yes. They can be killed by shooting them in the head with a silver bullet.”

“But the man who saw the zombie there and those two boys said that it was a zombie and that there was only one.”

“You know, my queen, you don’t have to be worried about that anymore. Let me take care of this if the zombies are killing because it is my fault.”

Emy wore a frown. “Okay, but tell me everything you do and hurry, because we might be late for our appointment with the doctor.”

Reed laughed, then squeezed Emy’s butt.

Devin was sitting on the roof of the other home. He frowned as he looked at the two of them from Reed’s new home. It was far from his house, but it was easy to remember. From inside the house, Devin can hear the noise of the TV talking about the zombie.

“I’d better find out about that news first,” Devin said and then vanished over the roof.

Avery and Jasmin got out of the car together to find out about the zombie attack that was said to have happened in that barangay. They went straight to the barangay to ask for permission to look in the cemetery.

“Y’all?” The barangay captain was looking at Avery and Jasmin. “Maybe you’ll both die, and we’ll be responsible for you.”

“They’re with me...”

People inside the barangay turned around when Devin suddenly came out of the bathroom, which surprised the guards.

“Have you been to the bathroom yet?” asked a guard, surprised.

“Who’re you? Why are you in our bathroom?” asked captain Devin.

Instead of answering, Devin let out a cloud of black smoke, which made everyone in the room agree. Devin turned to face Avery and Jasmin with a smile.

“It’s good to see you here,” Devin said. “Let’s go?”

Avery and Jasmin looked at each other and then followed Devin. They walked until they reached the entrance to the public cemetery. Avery just looked at Devin and then around.

“What’re you doing here, Avery? Are you looking for an adventure?” Devin asked.

“You, Sir Devin, what are you doing here? Are you also looking for adventures?” Avery replied.

What Avery said made Devin chuckle. “Okay,” Devin said. “I know exactly what you were thinking.” Devin walked backward because he was looking at Avery and Jasmin while he was walking. “You want to know for sure if the zombie is real and if it has anything to do with Reed’s release of powerful black power that can wake up sleeping demons, right, Avery?”

“Yes, you are right,” Avery said.

Devin chuckled. “I’m wondering why you’re with Jasmin.”

“Sir Devin, Avery is my friend; I won’t let anything happen to her,” Jasmin said.

“But it didn’t occur to you, you might be the reason for her downfall,” Devin said.

Jasmin was speechless. Devin raised his eyebrows when Avery pointed the tip of his Katana at his cheek. He gave a mischievous smile.

“Are you throwing me a challenge?” Devin asked. “Do you want to fight?”

Jasmin’s eyes got big, and she stepped between the two friends right away.

“Oh, come on, stop fighting!” Jasmin said.

Devin and Avery were looking at each other and no one wanted to say goodbye to them when they heard loud shouting at the end of the cemetery. Devin teleported away quickly, and Avery and Jasmin ran away.

When Devin walked up to the two boys, he saw a man who looked like he was dead. It was alone and looked surprised to see him. The two boys were terrified by what they saw. Devin’s sudden appearance in front of them added to this.

Devin stared at the zombie and saw what it was thinking. It was Reed’s fault, according to him. He smirked, then teleported and went somewhere else. Devin was standing far away with both arms folded. He seemed to be just watching what was going to happen, even though the zombie was surprised; it didn’t care about Devin and instead turned his its attention back to the two kids in front of him.

The two kids crawled away from the zombie, that was rushing toward them. The zombie grabbed one of the child’s legs as it screamed in fear. Then it grabbed the foot of another child. The zombie did it easily, but the two kids and the zombie were all surprised when one of its hands was cut off. The zombie fell after getting a powerful kick, which made him lose his balance.

Devin smiled and watched as Jasmin stand beside him so quickly. In the meantime, Avery quickly got rid of the zombie’s hand that was still holding a child’s foot. Avery couldn’t get his hand off the boy’s leg because he was holding on too tightly. The zombie rushed forward and quickly swung one hand at Avery, but Avery quickly moved away.

“Jasmin, help them remove the hand of the child’s leg,” Avery said.

“Ah, okay...” Jasmin walked right up to the two children.

Avery ran up to the zombie and attacked it with her Katana. One after another, but it can heal itself every time Avery’s Katana hurts it. Its healing process is quick. The zombie took the cross that was stuck to the top of the tomb with cement. The zombie did it with no trouble. Devin smiled. The zombie quickly walked over and ran toward Avery. No matter what happens, when Avery buries his Katana in the zombie’s body, the wounds will heal quickly. It also moved as quickly as if it were a living person. It also has a good sense of hearing and can hear sounds from far away. The dog was barking at the zombie.

A few seconds later, Jasmin also removed the zombie’s severed hand from the boy’s leg.

“Get out of here,” Jasmin told the two boys.

Devin let out a cloud of black smoke that went into the mouths of the two kids. Suddenly, the kids fell, which surprised Jasmin. That’s why she looked at Devin because of what he did.

“The others will come in when they leave, riskier. First, let them go to sleep. Watch Jasmin, it’s a good one.” Devin said.

Kicks and punches with the handle of the Katana to the zombie’s face and chest. Even though his body wasn’t that big, it was hard for her to knock it down. It is easy to kill a zombie. She tried to hit it in the neck and head, but its defenses were strong in those areas. It can quickly block attacks, especially to the head and neck of her Katana. The dog ran over to the zombie quickly and bit its leg. Avery ran after the dog so that the zombie could kill it, but when it grabbed Avery’s Katana, it grabbed the dog and threw it on top of the grave with all its strength, making the dog howl. When Avery pulled the blade of the Katana, the zombie’s hand was severely hurt. The zombie quickly grabbed Avery by the neck as he struggled with a dagger. The dagger, which caused it to let go of Avery and knock him to the ground pierced the zombie’s head.
