Greatest Assassin
Chapter 8

"Wait on! Is this a Hollow gate?" thought Aiken.

And the light was moving near the gate and the light was fused together with the gate. Aiken walked slowly closer to that gate.

"What should I do? Did I open the door or did I just leave it?" thought Aiken.

"I'd better not open it. If there was a disaster I would be hit later," Aiken decided not to open the door and walked away.

But when Aiken was about to walk out of the cave, suddenly the green light appeared again and appeared in front of Aiken. The light moved around Aiken, as if it wanted to tell Aiken something.

"Gosh my god, why is this light bothering me anyway," sighing deeply, Aiken came back to that door.

Aiken decided to open that door. Slowly Aiken's hand moved closer to the doorknob. When the door opened, suddenly a blinding light came and made Aiken walk backwards away from the door because his eyes were glare with white light that appeared.

And as the light began to dissipate, Aiken reopened his eyes. He was shocked as a long dark green haired girl with her irises red colored eyes standing in front of him smiled amiably at him.

"Heh... You, who?" ask Aiken confused.

"My name is Alice. It's nice to meet you" he said in a very polite tone to Aiken.

"Alice? Did you just walk out that door?" ask Aiken.

"Yes," he answered.

"So that door is not a Hollow gate, yes" Aiken said.

"That's a true Hollow gate" Alice said.

"Heh.. but is not the Hollow Gate the gateway that unites the human world with the supernatural and the devil? And you're not like a supernatural being or a demon to me" Aiken said.

"Why can you think that the Hollow Gate is the unifying door of the human world and the supernatural and demon realms? That's not true" Alice said.

"Wait on! What's the matter, actually? Is Alyssa lying to me?" aiken.

"The Hollow Gate is the doorway to the dimensional space of the end of the world. And I came from there," said Alice.

"Why did that light lead me here? Why do you want to get out that door? And what was your purpose in taking me to see you?" ask Aiken.

Alice smiled sweetly at Aiken, then Alice held onto Aiken's two hands. "Because you are the right person to help me" he replied.

"Heh... "

Aiken immediately removed both of her hands from Alice's grasp and walked backwards away from Alice. "Wait, wait. I wouldn't want to get involved with this.

"But." before Alice could finish, Aiken interrupted. "No, no! Whatever you want to do, do it. But don't let me follow along.

Do you think my life is for you to be your slave?" aiken said with her face irritated. He had been deceived by Alyssa, and now he had to become the slave of a girl who had no idea where he came from. If there was a fee, perhaps Aiken could consider it. But he saw that it seemed like Alice had nothing to give Aiken.

Then Alice took out a small pouch from under her shirt, and showed it to Aiken. "What are you holding? Is that poison?" asked Aiken who was starting to feel really upset facing the gadia standing in front of him.

Alice shook her head. "Take it!" and Aiken hesitantly took the pouch. As Aiken opened it, he was shocked when there was a glowing green pearl in the pouch. And inside the pearl was something in the shape of a glowing green leaf.

"Why did you give this to me?" asked Aiken who was confused by the pearl.

"Take it. It was a dendro pearl. I can only give you that payment. So, please help me!" alice said with her eyes glazed over, her face approaching that of Aiken.

Then Aiken slowly pushed Alice's face to slightly move away from her face. "Hey! Do you think I'm a god who can easily help you? I don't have any great skills that can help you" Aiken said, returning the pearl to Alice.

"But I believe you're the man I'm looking for! You are the right person! Please help me! This is all for the peace of this country" Alice said.

"What are you trying to say? What do you want me to do?" ask Aiken.

"Help me to get rid of those supernatural beings! The supernatural being was the cause of the Hollow gate appearing. Because their Hollow world is now threatened" Alice said.

"threatened? What do you mean threatened?"

The Hollow Gate is a doorway to the Hollow world. The Hollow world itself is a dimensional world towards the end of the world from the core of the earth. And Alice is the spirit human of the Goddess who has the responsibility to protect the Hollow. Not yet known the cause of the appearance of the supernatural creature. But if supernatural beings continue to come to earth, then it will have a bad effect on Hollows. The Hollow world will die, when the Hollow world will die, then all life on earth will also die.

It could be said Alice herself was a human just like Aiken. But because of an event that makes him a mixed human spirit Goddess, he must protect the Hollow world and live in it. Alice herself won't be able to get far from the Hollow gate. Because it will be bad. Alice will disappear as she goes away from the Hollow gate. And his goal of coming to the human world would fail just because he broke that rule.

That was why Alice only used that light to lead Aiken to come to see her. The light was called Alice Selly, and all this time that entered Aiken's dream was Selly's. Alice has the ability to enter the human dream world, but her abilities are also limited. It can only be issued once a day, it also depends on physical health.

"So.. will the earth be destroyed if the Hollow world is destroyed?" asked Aiken who was starting to understand a little about what Alice had explained.

"Yes!" the answer.

"But... Why should I? Aren't you wrong? How can I help you?"

"You can do it! My eyesight has never been wrong! And in my vision, you're the one I'm looking for!" alice said confident in her instincts and abilities.

"How to get rid of these supernatural beings? To finish them off is not enough" said Aiken.

"You're right. Killing them would not change anything," then Alice closed her eyes as she extended her hand. Then suddenly a dark green light appeared right on Alice's palm. A metal ear cuff appeared in his hand.

"Ear transfers? What's the point of that?" ask Aiken confused.
