"Mom!" 

"Dad!"

"Grandma!"

"Grandpa!"

"Sister!"

"Brother!"

"Aunt!"

"Uncle!"

… 

Hearing the children on the sick beds call for them, many reacted fast, taking steps forward to see them. 

But before they could go any further, they found themselves slamming into an invisible wall. 

WHAT? 

Hardy. Whom and the others were also taken aback, as they didn't notice anything at all. 

They placed their hands on the wall and gasped for words as their brains quickly freed with all the error output it was generating. 

Why, when, what, how?...

Many felt their hearts skip a beat, knowing they were trapped in this invisible space, completely sandwiched between the room's walls and the space full of sick beds. 

Seeing the stretched-out arms of the children, salty waterfalls of tears streamed down the faces of these family members, as they now banged on the invisible walls in distress. 

But Hardy, Shalom, Big Ben and a few others, couldn't help standing before the wall trying to calm the anxious crowd. 

"Everyone, calm down!" 

"Why? Are you guys with them too? Why are you stopping us? Can't you hear their weak voices calling us over? Can't you see they are still weak and in need of care?" 

Detective Martinez was also confused by the actions of her 2 bosses, Shalom and Hardy.

She felt emotional when watching these parents and guardians break down with raspy voices that oozed of pain. 

Isn't this too much? 

"Sir, why are you so cold-hearted?" 

The gaze Shalom and Hardy shot at Martinez was enough to make her legs weak. They also saw the expressions on the faces of these young police officers and suddenly wished they could snack these idiots to death. 

They call themselves detectives and they can't even think this far?

Their actions might seem like police brutality if someone walked in right now. But do you think they have a choice when seeing how crazy these parents and guardians had become due to their grief? 

Every one of them was held by the neck and almost choked to death for trying to stop these people. 

A little force was needed to save lives, okay? 

They understood that with the wall trapping them in, they had nowhere to go. 

The duo only wanted to calm the situation, and nothing more. 

But the pain everyone here felt in their hearts was so heavy that they didn't want to listen to a word the duo said. 

Looking at the doctors, nurses and facility guards who were chilling on the side, the duo shot glaring eyes, as if saying: Why don't you help out? Are you blind or something? 

[Facility staff and guards]: (U_U)

Sorry, they are monetarily blind.

'_'

Augh~

It was amazing how the duo were struggling to calm the rowdy crowd down. But when Dorian's forehead began to furrow, the silence calmed down without anyone saying a thing. 

F***! 

What was that scary aura they felt just now?

For a moment, they found themselves choking and trying their best to breathe in, to no avail. 

It was like they were stranded out of space with no oxygen in sight. 

Just a few seconds and their foreheads were already covered with layers of sweat. 

"Noisy," Dorian murmured, opening his eyes and turning his attention to the rowdy crowd.

His calm expressionless face made them hold their breaths even more, but nothing could prepare them for what he said next. 

"They are not your children." 

WHAT!!!~

Everyone was dumbfounded, slowly looking between the children and Dorian, wondering if he meant it literally or not. 

They understood every word he said individually. But when put in a sentence, how come it didn't make any sense? 

"You-you-you… You're lying! How can this not be my son?!"

"Yeah! How can that not be my daughter?" 

Before the group could continue their ranting, Dorian cheated a few more words that made the terrifying bluish lines appear again. 

Only this time, the children had red pupils that made everyone's hearts race uncontrollably. 

"Evil… evil…" 

Several people murmured to themselves when they saw the heart-stopping scene before them. 

This… this… 

So when he said evil had taken over them, he wasn't lying? 

Ahhhh! 

Everyone jumped back like a cat out of water when they saw these red eyes blink. 

Humans blinked vertically, but they were blinking horizontally. 

(Q0Q)

At this point, a few parents and guardians couldn't pretend anymore. 

Seeing that their parents weren't making any effort to come over, these children who had weak expressions, suddenly smiled unnaturally, with their lips stretched far behind what the human face could do. 

Their voices also gave many the sensation of spiders crawling around their bodies. 

"Why? Why are you all backing away from us? Don't you love us anymore? If you do, then blow out the candles at your feet and step I'm to help us."

The candles? 

Whether it was Hardy or the others, everyone suddenly understood that the invisible wall was only made possible by the lit candles before them. 

The police officers reached for their weapons but soon recalled that they had turned in their guns earlier. 

Hardy and even Martinez who had earlier wanted to help tense parents go in, now stood gaur before these candles, as if ready to fist anyone who dared to blow them out. 

The doctors and guards also did the same, before these parents could think further. 

Hardy thought all his work in the police force would prepare him for all troubles in life. 

But now, the fear of the unknown had completely paralyzed his soul, making him fear what might happen if some idiot blew out the candles. 

Don't think he didn't see the look some mothers had when hearing those children tell them to blow out the candles. 

They wanted to do it! They really wanted to blow off the candles! 

Benjamin's mother, A.K.A, the Blue Leg, was one of them. But luckily her husband and father held her tight, still having their sanity in check. 

"Let me go! Let me go! Didn't you hear him call out for me? I carried him in my womb for 9 months! If you all don't feel pity for him, I do!"

"That is not my son/grandson!"

Many guardians quickly held down their partners and loved ones, asking them to look carefully at the children in there. 

But no matter how they spoke, the others pinned down seemed blind to the red eyes and bizarre appearance of their children.
