Tempting Fate-Chapter 113

113 Chapter 113: Demon Bug

Jasmin put her hand over her mouth when she saw the dead body in front of her and Avery. That was the man whose neck had been cut. Jasmin turned around and tried to stop herself from puking. Avery and Devin looked at the man’s wound closely. Reed, meanwhile, looked at the woman’s dead body.

“He killed himself,” Devin said. Everyone turned to look at Devin, and even Reed went over to the body. “He cut his one carotid artery, and he fell over in 15 seconds in a spray of arterial blood. He died after 6-8 minutes. First, he became unconscious. He died because he suffocated in his vomit and blood.” Devin looked at Avery and smiled. “And do you know what the most exciting part is? He pees and poops on his pants before he passes out. At least for two minutes, his fear and pain were horrible.”

Avery kept staring at Devin. “You are a demon; you are happy when a human dies.”

Devin had a chuckle. “I’m just describing how he...”

“Devin...” Emy yelled.

Devin’s hands went up to say “okay.”

When Reed opened the man’s head, it surprised Jasmin, Avery, and Emy. Again, Jasmin covered her mouth. Emy turned around while Avery looked at what Reed was doing. It surprised Avery to see the inside of the man’s head. It was empty.

“Whoa, what happened? Why does he not have a brain?” Avery asked.

“Oops, looks like something ate his brain,” Devin said. “I think it’s a demon bug. What do you think, Reed?”

.....

“A what? Bug demon?” Avery asked.

Using the black smoke, Reed glued the man’s head together as if nothing had happened.

“Hey, what the heck is a demon bug?” She asked as she followed Reed out of the room.

Everyone is in a rush to get in the car, but Avery still doesn’t understand what Devin’s demon bug is. Emy noticed Reed let the smoke out of his hand and blew it into the air.

“What is that for?” Emy asked.

“Gotta catch that bug,” Reed said.

“Where are we going to find it?” Avery asked. “Where are we headed?”

“We’ll wait,” Devin said, smiling.

A man who was taking a shower in the shower room at the university suddenly yelled out. He came out of the locker room and started hitting other players, which surprised his teammates. The group of naked boys ran out of the locker and only used towels to cover their bottoms. A man’s eyes, nose, and ears all started bleeding. The man also ran out and started shouting. His screams haunted all the students and staff that saw what is happening. It seems like he’s going crazy because of the pain he feels inside his body. He found a mop right next to the door. He broke it off, then stuck it in his chest. Everyone who saw it was shocked and even got it on video. The man fell to the floor in front of the locker room door, bloodied and dead.

While that was going on, Jasmin watched the live video of a man.

“How can we tell if the demon bug has struck again?” Avery spoke up.

“It’s easy. The person hurt will bleed. And it seems like he’s going crazy because he’s in so much pain that he can’t understand, and...” Devin said something, but Jasmin cut him off.

“He’ll kill himself to get rid of the pain,” Jasmin said.

“Exactly!” Devin said that she then looked at Jasmin. “I’m impressed, as you know.”

Jasmin was looking at Avery and Devin. “Look.” Jasmin passed Avery on the phone. “An athlete is suddenly screaming outside the locker room, and his entire face is bleeding. Then...”

Emy and Reed heard the screams of the people in the video. “Where’s that school?” Reed asked.

When Jasmin said the place, Reed turned right and drove the car quickly. Along the way, another video from the same university went viral online. The professor became the victim and jumped off the fifth floor of the building.

Reed took a while to get there, but many police officers were watching the area. No one can get into the university because it is strictly guarded.

“They do not want to let us in,” Avery said.

“We can get in...” Devin said.

“Wifey, leave you and Jasmin alone,” Reed said.

“But we want to help,” replied Emy.

Reed grinned. He took his phone, put on a headset, and put an earpiece in his ear.

“There are more victims to come, so we need your help,” Reed said.

Avery also put her earpiece in her ear and turned to look at Jasmin.

“We will split up inside, and you’ll have to help us find the next victim,” Avery told me.

“Okay,” Jasmin said.

Before leaving, Emy immediately grabbed Reed’s neck and kissed him on the lips.

“Be careful,” Emy said.

“Of course,” Reed said.

Devin’s face shows jealousy. When Reed and Avery were walking and vanished in their direction, Emy turned to Devin.

“Devin...” Emy said. The man turned toward her. “Be careful.”

The man’s dark face changed to a bright one, and he also smiled at Emy.

“I will...” Devin said, that he and Jasmin then disappeared.

Jasmin looked at Emy. “Miss Emy, don’t go too close to Sir Devin.”

Emy turned toward Jasmin. “Why?”

“Sir Devin likes you. He seriously loves you.” Jasmin said. “And he knows what is love.”

“What?” Emy asked.

“Yes, I know that Sir Devin is a demon, but he loves you. And he’s too fond of you. I’m just worried because too much of anything is bad.”

Emy didn’t speak. Jasmin looked at her phone and found a new victim.

Jasmin said, “Miss Emy has a new victim.”

In the meantime, Avery, Devin, and Reed went to college. The police gathered the students, teachers, and other university staff in an open field. They were all sitting, and most of the people there were crying. No one knows what is going on, and everyone is scared. Several students and teachers have died in just a few hours.

Reed turned around and, in the distance, he saw the black smoke. It seems to have found the bug. Reed turned toward Avery. “I’ll take care of the bug, and you take care of the rest,” Reed said.

“Okay,” Avery said and nodded.

Reed suddenly disappeared in front of Devin and Avery. She turned toward Devin and took a deep breath. Avery thought Devin wouldn’t help her, so she turned away from him. Devin chuckled and just looked at Avery.

Reed walked into the open field where the students, teachers, and other university staff were waiting. Bugs fly around people like it is waiting for their next victim. Reed teleported when he realized he was about to enter a professor, but it suddenly flew away. He let out black smoke and covered everyone’s holes like their ears, nose, and mouth. Reed followed the bug’s flight again, but suddenly it was gone. Reed turned around, and the bug was gone, so he let out black smoke. Before he could blow away the black smoke, he saw the bug go into a police officer.

“Shit!” Reed quickly teleported and blew black smoke into the officer’s ears.

He put two clouds of smoke in each ear of the man. He also lets out black smoke and went into the man’s nose and mouth to corner the bug. When one of the police officers guarding them yelled, everyone who was sitting in the field turned around. It can’t move because black smoke is holding its body still. Its eyes and nose are moving in strange ways, and it’s bleeding. Other police officers moved the crowd away and looked at the man. Because they couldn’t see Reed, people did not know what was going on. That’s just one bug, but it has already killed many people. After a while, the black smoke let go of the bug, and it flew right into the circle of black smoke. The police officer lost consciousness and fell onto the grass. When Reed looked at the bug, he saw it had an open butt.

“What the heck, it multiplied!” Reed said, annoyed.

He teleported right away when he heard a scream from the other building.

Avery runs and chases the girl, who is screaming. Its eyes bleed. And the girl wasn’t expecting someone to flash in front of her. The woman’s body hit Devin’s, making her fall. The woman started screaming in pain.

“There is another victim. You need to remove the bug from the woman’s brain, or she will die.” Devin said, and then he left Avery.

Avery sat down in front of the woman who was lying. You can see the fear on the woman’s face. She can’t talk, but Avery can see the pain she’s feeling. The woman scratched the concrete and came close to breaking her nails. Avery’s breath got deeper when she saw the woman. She took the small book belonging to her grandmother out of her pocket and looked for the part she was reading earlier. There’s a prayer out there that can help Avery. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

As soon as Avery turned to face the woman, she started saying the prayer. They heard a woman screaming. Avery continued to pray, and a few seconds later, the bug came out of the woman’s mouth. When the woman closed her eyes, Avery immediately checked her pulse to see if she was still breathing. When she was, Avery took a deep breath, knowing that the woman was still alive.

Meanwhile, Reed suddenly appears in front of a student who is being chased by the police. The woman ran as if she’d seen something. The woman waved her hand several times as if she were driving away something.
