Chapter 5: WitchcraftWitch's WorkPart 1

The several existing buildings owned by <ratatoskr>at the outskirts of Tenguu city.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>Woodman visited one of them and was at the 3rd floor underground.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“-----This way. Sir Woodman”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The young organization member leading Woodman stopped his legs at the end of the long corridor.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>Over there, there was a narrow residential space separated by iron bars. Basically, it was a jail.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>There was one man inside. He was a middle-aged man wearing plain work clothes. There are several wounds thought to be left just recently on his face, and body.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Around 2 months ago from now, it is the DEM member captured during the events in Arubi Island. We found out he is the second chief executive colonel James A Paddington from his ID but, we don’t know anything else other than that”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Nothing? Does that mean he is silent?”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Rather than calling it silent……………..”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The organization member made a troubled face and *gan**gan* slammed on the iron bars. However, Paddington inside the jail was lying down on the bed and did not respond back at all.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“That’s the case. We tried several times interrogating him using a Realizer but, it’s like memories slipped out from his head”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“I see. It’s a hand that guy would use”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The organization member tilted his head. Woodman [No] replied back with that.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Can I talk a little with him”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Haa…………..I don’t mind, though……………”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The organization member made a dubious face while stepping back. When Woodman ordered Karen, the wheelchair was faced towards Paddington inside the cage.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“-----Yaa, James. Will you talk with me a bit”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>And. The moment he called out to him.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>Being persistently unresponsive until now, Paddington jumped out from the bed as if he was a doll with a spring attached onto it.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The organization member twitched his shoulders. But, Paddington did not bother about that and after he walked towards Woodman with unsteady steps, *gashan* such a sound was produced and he lay on the iron bars. After his eyes became unfocused, his lips covered with drool was forced towards Woodman and the group's presence.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“A-a-aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaa-WoooooOOOOOOD-Ma-Mamamann”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>Paddington made a code-like broken voice echoed from the depths of his throat and his head shook repeatedly after some intervals.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>However, after a few seconds. The weird dissonant voice echoing out from Paddington’s throat was stabilized and could be heard as a voice.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“-----Yaa, Long time no see, Elliot.”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>He made a voice different from usual.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>No………………calling the impression 'made a voice' correct could be strange. Paddington’s face did not change until now. Even though voices were coming out, his lips and tongue were not moving. It is already appropriate say, a different voice was echoing out from a human-type speaker.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>The organization member raised a voice filled with dismay. Well, that was only normal. Woodman made a small shrug with his shoulders before, at Paddington------no, more precisely, towards the guy at the other side of him.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Aah……it’s been 30 years. Are you doing well Ike?”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“Thanks to you. How about you, Elliot?”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“I have no confidence in my side. My eyes has completely gotten bad just recently.”</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>After the unknown voice was released out from a zombie-state man, they had a small chat for a while. The organization member at the side was looking at him with disgusted eyes.</ratatoskr>

<ratatoskr>“By the way, Elliot. Why don’t you come back to us. You should know this too but, we Inversed
