"You better answer without lying, or else." A chill settled in the air as he fixed his attention on Aiku, the seriousness of his words hanging heavy between them.

Aiku felt the pressure increasing, showing that Reign could make it even stronger if he wanted to. He was just toying with her.

Now, she was sure that it wouldn't do her any good to go against him.

"I will answer all your questions without hiding anything," she hurriedly bowed her head again on the floor.

"Do you still remember where you came from?" Reign asked.

"I'm sorry, I only remember some of it, but one thing is for sure, the place I came from is far away from here, this place is just too different," she responded.

Reign pondered her words, and did not react violently right away ,instead he kept asking her question until he got an overall idea where she came from.

First, it was also a tiered city because she remembered seeing a tall wall, but unlike this place, the buildings were more modest and had an old-fashioned design.

She even described some things that he found interesting, like a tree with pink leaves.

Unfortunately, she couldn't remember any names, only images.

After satisfying his curiosity about her origin, he decided to focus on another topic.

"You said that you're planning to possess her body, right?" he asked.

That was the conclusion he had come to after hearing the lullaby lyrics.

"Yes," she answered honestly, her voice trembling slightly.

"And how do you plan to do that?"

Aiku paused for a moment, considering whether to reveal the entire process. She could just say the general idea.

But when she saw how intimidating Reign's face was, she decided to come clean.

She took a deep paused, gathering her thoughts before speaking.

"To possess her body, I need to merge my consciousness with her slowly. It is a delicate process. I have to sing her into a deep, trusting sleep with my lullaby. After she's completely relaxed and unaware, I can start the integration, but it would take me days to complete process."

"How many days do you need?" Reign asked immediately, if it was too long then it was better to kill her now.

Aiku looked serious for a moment before responding. "Three days. If I can sing to her every night, it should be enough to completely possess her body."

"And can you access her memories after you possess her?" he inquired further, his tone probing for something more specific.

"I could," she nodded. "After the possession is complete, I should be able to access her memories. ."

Reign's eyes narrowed slightly as he considered her words.

"Good," he said, his voice firm and commanding. "From now on, you will work for me. I won't kill you, but after you take over her body, you will be answering to me."

A new plan formed in his head as he adjusted to the current situation.

"I will follow your orders," Aiku nodded and acknowledged his words.

Reign saw her gesture of submission, but he remained unsure whether she would stay true to her words.

She could backstab him at any moment if he wasn't around.

"Let me remind you," Reign's voice was cold, his red glowing gaze piercing.

"I'm sure you're aware that I'm powerful enough to kill you with a flick of my fingers. But some people tend to do stupid things, so to make sure..." His voice trailed off as he raised his hands.

"Arc, Shackler," he commanded.

Slowly, two powerful monsters emerged from a black pool of blood in front of Aiku.

She tensed, almost jumping to her feet if not for the restriction in her body.

When she felt their aura, she immediately realized that these two were stronger than her, especially Arc, who looked more intimidating.

His overall design was even more refined than Reign with the imposing and powerful looking katana in his waist.

As a member of the same race as the creator of katanas and kimono, Aiku couldn't help but appreciate Arc's appearance.

"You two, go and merge with that woman's shadow," Reign commanded, his tone authoritative.

Though Arc and Shackler had no such ability, Aiku was unaware of this, so he intended to trick her.

After hearing his command, the two summoned beings stood on the shadow and began sinking into the ground, giving the impression that they were indeed merging with it.

Aiku watched with wide eyes, believing Reign's deception.

She thought she was pretty scary for a ghost, but Reign was way better at planting seeds of fear.

"Remember," he warned, his voice dripping with malice, "if you decide to betray me, those two will jump out of the shadow and kill her." A sadistic grin spread across his face, stretching from ear to ear, making his whole appearance much scarier.

Aiku couldn't help but shiver at the thought.

"Yes, Master," she replied, her voice full of dedication . "I dare not betray your trust." She made a mental note to never cross Reign—those shadow-hopping monster were not something she wanted to mess with.

"Good," Reign nodded in satisfaction, pleased with the effectiveness of his little act.

It was a good thing that he had no face right now, so she couldn't read his expression—perks of having a skull for a face.

"I'll leave you now. Remember, I'll come back after three days… Don't disappoint me," Reign said, opening the window and making his way out of the mansion.

With his current power level, escaping without detection was now very easy for him.

Aiku, who had been left behind, felt a wave of relief wash over her as she realized she could now move freely.

'This place is filled with scary people,' she shuddered, finding it pitiful that a ghost like her ended up being scared instead.

However, she didn't show it on her face, fearing that Arc and Shackler might be watching her.

"I will now do my job," she said, bowing her head as if Reign were observing her every move.

Reign found a dark corner and transformed, making his body human-sized.

He then put on his mask and clothes, which he had hidden within himself.

'My phone is out of battery,' Reign sighed, he had been keeping one inside his body all along.

'I better find a convenience store where I can charge this first,' he muttered to himself. He could use lightning, but it would just fry the whole thing.

Fortunately, it didn't take him long to find one after running for 15 minutes.

He charged the phone and opened the app, but instead of connecting directly, he got a message saying he needed to register the phone first at the Veiled Nights headquarters in this city.

If he was correct, the city should have a slum area where the base was located.

He was still a Gold Rank on paper, so he was bound to get special treatment in this low-tier city.

His intention to visit the Veiled Nights was because of two things.

First, to gather information while he waited and to leverage his status for better access to resources and assistance.

'I should call a taxi,' Reign thought.

He wasn't familiar with this place, so it would saved him time.
