Seven Sins System

Seven Sins System Chapter 334. Two Kids

'Oh Lord of Wrath, please answer my call…'

The words echoed through my mind, interrupting my morning exercise routine. It was barely six in the morning, and there it was – a child's voice reaching me in the midst of my push-ups. The voice sounded desperate, on the brink of tears.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, keeping my annoyance contained within my thoughts. 'Why do you have to summon me at a time like this?' I grumbled inwardly, the interruption breaking my concentration. It wasn't the most ideal time to be called upon, especially in the middle of my workout.

Glancing around, I caught sight of Puriel, stretching right beside me. I didn't invite her to join, but there she was, following me around like an overly dedicated fan. She was like my personal shadow, always lurking nearby, watching my every move.

Three days had zipped by since the revelation of our true identities to each other. And I could say, things had taken a weird turn. Puriel was acting like this possessive, overprotective figure, giving the stink eye to every woman who dared to glance my way. Her stares were enough to send those curious eyes elsewhere, but it also fueled the rumors flying around about us. It didn't bother me much, but it was both amusing and kind of annoying, to be honest.

"What?" Puriel snapped curtly, catching me looking at her. Not that I wanted to, but she seemed to think otherwise.

"I need to pee. Don't follow unless you want to see my penis," I warned, trying to put a stop to her overbearing behavior.

"Hmph! As if I want to see it," she retorted, clearly irked by the whole situation.

I didn't stick around for more of that banter. "Great," I replied with a half-grin, standing up and running to leave her behind. I bolted, aiming to reach the nearest bathroom, feeling like I was in some strange race with my newfound stalker hot on my heels.

Quickly, I dashed through the corridors, dodging a few students and other teachers along the way. The bathroom was in sight, and I hurriedly made my way there. Without a second thought, I darted into the nearest empty stall and locked the door behind me.

A long sigh escaped my lips, the weight of the situation hanging heavily in the air. "Now, let's see what you want from me," I muttered under my breath.

I made the choice and selected 'Yes.' A dark aura enveloped me, shrouding my figure, but before I could comprehend what was happening, Puriel materialized by my side. Her sudden appearance caught me off guard, and before I could react, she grabbed my hand, her expression triumphant.

"I knew you were up to something!" she exclaimed, flashing a smug smile that grated on my nerves.

I shot her a sharp glare, not in the mood for her victorious attitude. Before I could say anything, the scene around us shifted. In an instant, both of us were engulfed by the same dark aura, and the world seemed to dissolve around us.

In a flash, we materialized in a small, cramped room. Through the window nearby, I could see the surrounding area—apartment buildings or dorms maybe. It felt suffocatingly close, and the sight of a bunk bed shoved to one side confirmed my suspicion.

But the real shock hit when I spotted two children, a girl and a boy, lying nearby. They looked so small, so fragile, with their bodies marred by terrible bruises and wounds. The girl appeared to be around eight years old, while the boy couldn't have been more than six.

My gaze fixed on the summoning formation, an eerie, bloody sigil sprawled beside the boy. It was a disturbing sight, and the grim atmosphere of the room painted a dire picture. The children's weakened forms and my summoning circle nearby raised an array of questions and confusions.

"Oh, no..." Puriel gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth in shock as she surveyed the distressing scene.

Devil summoning involving children typically aligned with heretical or misguided mortal cults aiming to utilize them as sacrifices. The thought alone was enough to make me cringe. The realization dawned upon me that this scenario wasn't just an innocent summoning or a mere accident. Someone may have purposefully invoked this dark ritual using the children as a catalyst.

However, the complexities surrounding such summonings were riddled with nuances. Devil summonings achieved through sacrifice and manipulation didn't abide by our rules or the code we followed. My understanding dictated that in these situations, any resultant sacrifices may have occurred, but they were not made at my behest or request, thus absolving me of any obligation to intervene.

Crouching beside the bloody summoning formation, I cautiously traced my index finger over its stained lines, investigating the source of the summoning. To my surprise, the summoner wasn't another adult but the young girl herself. The situation grew even more harrowing as I detected the faint scent, identifying it as her doing. My gaze shifted to the girl, recognizing the determination in her half-open eyes.

"You summoned me, kid. What do you need?" I asked, attempting to maintain a gentle tone, given the dire circumstance.

Her voice trembled weakly, "S-Save my brother…" she managed to voice, her plea carrying a weight of desperation.

"Okay," I acknowledged her request, fully aware of the customary procedure that needed to be followed. In these situations, a payment had to be negotiated and agreed upon for me to carry out any deed, no matter how noble or dire. It was the code that governed these transactions for a devil. "About the payment…" I began, poised to discuss the terms when Puriel unexpectedly cut in.

"I will pay for her!" she declared firmly, her voice resolute, interrupting the negotiation before it even began.
