Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Everyone watched the group get lost in their own world, as their chants quickly turned from murmurs to loud spellbound sounds in their ears.

In no time, everyone felt an eerie draft hovering around them. 

Shudder. Shudder~

BRRRRUH~

Who turned up the AC? 

It was so damn cold in here that their teeth began chattering in retaliation.

Many couldn't help missing the jackets they left in their cars, knowing the building had heating. 

Oh my God of Science, isn't this going to freeze them to death? 

Hardy, Shalom, the other police officers, and several parents, could not help looking around suspiciously. 

But once more, before they could speak, the winds started picking up and now, it was the lights that began blinking crazily! 

Hardy, Shalom and the others stared with wide eyes of horror as they watched the flameless candles now light up one by one. 

What did they just see? Magic? 

Blink! Blink! Blink!

The lights were blinking crazily and the winds were howling with what sounded like the cries of a thousand goats being throttled to death. 

Hardy and the other officers wanted to look tough, but their legs had already begun quaking when faced with such an unprecedented scene. 

"Hahaha!" One of them anxiously said. "Hahahah… very funny. What prank is your Hou hospital making?" 

"Prank?" The lead Doctor swallowed hard with a bitter look. 

"Patients are waiting to be cured and you think we would dare call everyone loved for a mere prank?"

"Aunt!"

Big Ben exclaimed after the winds threatened to carry him away. 

It wasn't just him, as several youngsters and even adults, began feeling the craziness that these terrible winds carried. 

Look as they did, they couldn't find the source of these winds. 

But how was this possible? 

It must have come from somewhere!

Yes, yes! They believed in Science, despite how desperately their brains were trying to warn them. 

.

"Big Ben!!"

"Little Momo!"

Several adults were quick to grab the children who were getting spirited away, grabbing them with all their might. 

These children weren't the ones on the sick beds, but those standing by their sides. 

Creeeeee~

Big Ben felt his little heart jolt crazily when again heard that strange noise cry out from within the wind. 

(~...~)

The adults might try to deny it, but he already knew there was something in here with them. 

Grabbing his buddy's father's hand, Big Ben held on for his dear life, feeling that if he let go, that THING would get him. 

Ooooo… But the fun wasn't over yet. 

Right there and then, everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground when Dorian snapped his fingers, allowing a toy, finger-tip-sized briefcase fly out his chest pocket and enlarge to normal size. 

(-->>>>0o0)

Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground in disbelief, while wiping their eyes and even slapping their cheeks to ensure this wasn't a dream. 

Who am I? What am I? Where am I?

"Did… did… did he just do what I think he did?" 

"No, no, no, no. I... I won't be locked up in a Looney Bin for saying what I think my eyes saw, right?"

"He, you, me, we, when, how, then… ah?"

Many were lost for words, pointing their shoveling fingers while opening and closing their mouths, saying random words that didn't make any sense. 

("0■0)

Shalom, Hardy, and the other police officers felt weak in the knees, now confused about whether this was a trick or if it was truly real. 

"Someone, please pinch me! I want to–... Ahhh!.. You asshole! What the hell did you do that for?"

"Boss, you said you wanted someone to–" 

"I know what I said, goddammit, but who means it?"

Shalom snapped, perhaps because of the current unease and nervousness he now felt growing deep in his heart. 

At this point, he couldn't help pondering on Dorian's earlier words that spoleto of some Evil being the real culprit. 

He had a hunch in his heart but quickly dismissed it even after all he saw. 

Do you think it's easy for a true man of science who has lived in the world for over 39 years to believe such a hunch? 

Regardless of their thoughts and shock, Dorian opened the Briefcase, allowing an ancient, old-looking book to float before him. 

.

Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip!~

Its pages turned chaotically, before finally abruptly stopping without warning. 

And with another flick of his wrist, they began seeing strange symbols projected from the book. 

What language was this? No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't make sense of anything they saw. 

But the academy disciples and Chan-Ki were quick to chant the words and sentences that appeared. 

They knew little knowledge of what creature was plaguing these children, so they needed guidance for spellcasting and other actions. 

And this time. When the disciples, Chan-Ki and Doirian began chanting the projected sentences, everyone immediately noticed the changes in the children lying on the sick beds. 

"What's happening? What's happening to them?"

Everyone felt their bodies bubble like volcanoes when seeing the creepy bluish veins on children morph and turn their beautiful faces into… into…

Blugh~

Hideous! 

How can a face look so ugly? 

Every parent and guardian couldn't help taking a step back, before taking another step forward and returning to their original positions. 

But this time, their backs were arched and their mouths open to spew out every meal they had today. 

You don't understand how they feel when getting front-row seats to watch such a grotesque show. 

First, they watched their children shake and shake on those beds like crazy the longer their transformation became. 

Without knowing it, many now leaned close to each other, with eyes transfixed in horror. 

Blugh!~

The vomit festivities began, as everyone refused to believe those were their children. 

What the hell was happening to them? 

The children shook and shook with crazy intent with morphing faces for what seemed like an eternity, until suddenly, they became calm. 

Yes! 

They were no longer shaking, and miraculously no longer looked like transparent jellyfish. 

The bluish veins on their faces also vanished, and their faces also turned rosy with warmth. 

Yes. 

It was almost as though the horrifying image from before was all an illusion. 

This… This… This… 

"They did it!"

Seeing their children now return to normal, many parents, guardians and even the police officers couldn't help bursting out in joy. 

But the doctors and facility guards stayed emotionless staring at the scene. 

How can it be that simple?
