Chapter 3

Chapter 3

After three days had passed, Tian Long still hasn't woken up . He suffers from headaches time to time which almost looks like he was suffering from a nightmare .

"What happened to this kid? Is he suffering from something? But the physician I hired told he was perfectly healthy for his age which is unusual in itself because he's been in coma from the time he was born .

"

"Is the heavens helping us?

"

Grey found it difficult to understand this situation .

'Whatever, I'll just report it to the higher ups .

"

Grey opened the door and left the room .

After a few moments of silence in the room .

A child opened his eyes . He looked clean considering the situation he was in, probably cleaned by the physician or someone who took care of him .

'Where am I? What is this place? Why aren't I dead?' Tian Long had a lot of doubts but the most he worried about was .

'What the hell is this black thing in my soul?'

'Ehh…wait, I can sense my soul?' Tian Long was utterly confused .

"Alright, calm down me, if I think calmly, I will be able to make sense of this situation

" Tian Long whispered to himself .

Tian Long took a deep breath to calm himself down . He started connecting the dots .

'The Death Note was destroyed in that spatial tunnel so I can no longer use it, but the black thing in my soul looks like a book, is it the Death Note? . But if it followed me into this world then it should've been able to kill me after exiting the spatial tunnel . If it didn't kill me then I was right . The Death Note is restricted by the laws of universe .

"

'This universe probably needs time to detect the arrival of an unknown object, so the Death Note was able to fulfil the condition of me being able to obtain a weak body below 20 years old . But it wasn't able to kill me after 5 minutes meaning the Death Note either should've been destroyed or reset according to the laws of this universe . '

'But if this black thing is the Death Note, how was it able to infuse into my soul? Is it because I am the owner?'

"Yup, this should've been the case, it somewhat makes sense of the situation .

"

Even though Tian Long had many doubts, he was able to make sense of this situation .

Tian Long got out of the bed and just when he tried to walk, he fell down .

"What!?

"

He tried to stand up but he couldn't so he crawled his way to the mirror in the corner of the room .

He looked around 36 inches, has fair skin, has a pair of blue eyes that looks adorable, while his face looked emaciated . His short blonde hair was messy . Has a tiny frame that is normal for 3 year old children .

'A 2 or 3 year child? An orphan? I guess it's alright since I can perfectly blend into this environment'

'I don't know who you are but sorry for possessing your body, I'm not going to make any excuses since I indirectly killed you'

Tian Long didn't know that this child was in coma from the time he was born and was going to die 3 days ago .

'I swear that I will live your part as well . ' Tian Long had complex feelings about killing an innocent child .

…

After Grey left the room, he headed for the Captain's room .

*Knock*

"Come in

" A voice could be heard from inside .

*Creek*

"Oh, Grey, what's the matter?

"

"Captain, it's time I left the mercenaries .

"

There was a moment of silence in the room .

"Sigh, did the 3 year period come to an end already? Time sure flies fast

"

"Yes, I thank you for taking care of me in the mercenaries, the reward will be given once the people from the empire comes to pick me up .

"

"Taking care of you? Protecting a man with a cultivation base higher than mine? You must be jesting . Is it the child?

" The captain chuckled .

"You've already figured it out?

"

"I have been together with you for almost 3 years, yes . If I can't even figure that out I should just retire from being a mercenary .

"

"Good thing you told me this just now, if it were a month ago, I would've been forced to kill you .

"

"Is it an order?

"

"Yes .

"

"The Loret Empire sure is scary, considering that it managed to survive and execute the noble families which participated in the rebellion

"

"What? The Loret family has managed to quell the rebels?

"

"Yes, I just received this news 2 days ago

"

Grey stood shivering from excitement .

'From this, both of us have survived' Grey heaved a sigh of relief .

"Then I'll return to my quarters, Captain

"

"Alright

"

… .

*Creak*

Grey opened the door to his room and stepped in, he almost got a heart attack .

"Where is the child?

" Grey unsheathed his sword and quickly rushed in .

At the corner of the room Tian Long hurriedly turned back his head and saw Grey rushing into the room .

'Ray Nolan, that's his name huh . '

'Seems like I still possess the Death God's Eyes, then that means that I still have the Death Note with me . '

Ray heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the child was still there albeit trying to do something .

"Nie…yay…udel

"

Tian Long immediately started putting on an act with a cute face .

'Considering that I was sleeping in a bed, this guy should've been the one taking care of me and it's not farfetched for a 3 year old orphan to not know how to talk'

Ray immediately walked towards the child and carried him up .

"Huh, will I get beheaded for the prince not knowing how to talk?

" Ray got scared a little .

"Probably not .

"

Tian Long had no idea what this guy was talking about because he still couldn't understand any of it .

'Dude, please talk in a language I know' Tian Long wished lamentably .

"Child, it's almost time for you to return to the empire and there you can start learning the language of the world .

" Ray started lecturing the child even though he knows that the child can't understand it because his life depended on it . The lecture continued for 10 minutes which almost exhausted Tian Long .
