After hearing the confirmation from Nathan, Bella's face became paler.
Just thinking of those inky black liquid-like things that are sticking everywhere inside this shop that she saw when wearing the glasses from Nathan, Bella can't help but feel disgusted.
At the same time, Bella is also feeling curious right now.
About that black thing, the glasses, and most of all, Nathan.
At this time, Nathan silently picked up the glasses, wore them, and started calmly looking at the surroundings.
He also inspected the ice cream in front of him and saw that it was like a thick blob of demonic energy, as if it was made up with demonic energy as the main ingredient.
Bella slowly turned her eyes at Nathan, then she said, "Nathan, do you know what those things are?"
Nodding, Nathan took off the glasses and seriously said, "Yes."
"I can feel that the demonic energy in this place is very thick. I guess you can say that those things are demonic energy that are so thick it condensed into that appearance."
"Demonic Energy?"
Bella caught on Nathan's words and her curiosity was piqued.
Seeing that, Nathan patiently explained,
"In this world, or technically in the universe, there's a race called Demons or Devils, they are also the one written in the Bible.
"They are a very evil race that finds pleasure in things such as death, destruction, despair and suffering of others." Nathan said with a hint of anger on his face.
This thing that Nathan is talking about is of course something that he learned from the data files left in the control room.
Beside that, Nathan also has personal encounters with demons.
In this life as well as his previous one.
Calming his anger, Nathan continued his explanation, "Anyway, demonic energy is what the unique energy that Demons have are called."
Hearing that, Bella nodded her head in understanding.
Of course Bella knows about Demons.
However, that was only from the Bible and some other books she read before.
Because of that, in her thoughts, Demons are originally not a real thing.
Now learning that they actually exist, Bella felt some complicated feelings including fear.
When those emotions were about to enter her heart, a hand suddenly patted her head.
Looking up, she saw Nathan looking at her with a bright smile.
With a sunshine-like smile, he said, "Don't think too much about it. If ever there's something, I'm here, I'll help you out."
Hearing his words, the uncertain and complicated feelings Bella has, popped like a bubble and disappeared.
She smiled and nodded, "Oum! I'll call you if I encounter something then!"
"You can rest assured that I will be there."
After that, Nathan excused himself and told Bella that he needs to go to the restroom first.
He reminded her not to move around while he is gone to avoid uncertain things from happening.
With that, Nathan headed to the restroom.
He entered a cubicle.
"I'll have to sneak around this shop again using the ninja occupation. I have to find out what is wrong with this place and why it is covered in thick demonic energy."
Without hesitation, Nathan changed his occupation into [Ninja] using his soul talent before he silently left the restroom.
Back in the dining area, Nathan looked around and walked towards behind the counter where the employees are at.
Without stopping, Nathan continued towards the door that leads to the deeper part where the ice cream production happens.
Using the shadow, Nathan slipped under the door and successfully entered the backroom.
When he got inside, Nathan saw a lot of boxes stacked above one another.
Peeking inside one of it, Nathan saw that it was just some normal ice cream ingredients.
Opening a few more boxes, Nathan confirmed that there was nothing suspicious here.
Inside the room, besides the stacks of ingredients, there was only another door that was closed tightly.
"That's probably where they make the ice cream." Nathan murmured.
Walking in front of the door, Nathan can see just how thick this door really is.
Jumping in the shadow again, Nathan was able to pass through the door again.
Nathan immediately felt the cold the moment he got inside.
Moving out of the shadow, Nathan looked around and saw that this place actually seems like a tunnel but the walls are covered with ice crystals that seems to have formed after being exposed to cold for a long period of time.
Nathan's breath comes out as white smoke, showing just how cold this place really is.
Thankfully, with the power Nathan possesses now, this much is just nothing to him.
"Hoo~ There's actually a tunnel inside the shop. I never expected this." Nathan muttered to himself.
"I wonder just where this leads to."
Filled with curiosity, Nathan proceeds to move forward, heading deeper into the icy cold tunnel.
Since there are light bulbs installed every 5 meters in this tunnel, the pathway is quite bright.
Because of that, Nathan moved forward without a problem.
After walking for a while, Nathan arrived at a forked path.
He doesn't have a clue where which path will lead him to.
And so, he casually chose to go to the right, planning to take a look here first before heading to the other path.
After he continued moving, it did not take long before Nathan saw the end of the road.
And there, Nathan saw something that surprised him.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a small room, not even as big as Nathan's room.
Inside, there's a couple of black crystals laying on the ground, emitting some black miasma.
The moment he laid eyes on those crystals, Nathan immediately knew what it was.
"Demonic energy crystal!"
Nathan was surprised at the fact of finding demonic crystals in here.
Because based on what he knows, demonic energy crystals only form and exist in places where a demon of certain rank resides!
And finding this much in here, just means there's a Demon living in this place!
