AOT Rays Of Heaven Ch 3 : Super Human Senses

Before anything, I needed to find where exactly I am currently, knowing the world alone is not enough.

It was early in the morning, so there weren’t many people outside besides some ugly ones. Well, that’s a very rude thing to say but what can I do about it, after living with those angels for this long, even the Miss Universe with the best make-up artist is nothing but ugly pigs.

But I liked it, all that perfection was getting to my nerves anyway. I slowly started to walk towards the closest house to me to ask some questions.

I slowly breathed in and felt the cold but fresh air, having superhuman senses are pretty cool, I am able to hear birds chirping from miles away, yeah no kidding miles. But only if I focus on them otherwise they are just slightly better than any normal human’s senses.

I looked around and found no one coming out of their houses yet, The Sun was already out and I only saw 2 people and I am glad that they didn’t see me.

They are not giving me a good feeling, I am not sure why I am feeling like this after seeing them but I do. So I did not let them know that I was there and waited until they went on their merry way.

“Maybe superhuman senses come with 6th sense ?” I question with a little chuckle. After waiting until I could no longer see them, I sat down and focus, trying to hear anyone around me besides those damn birds. 

I was enjoying their chirping earlier but now they are just annoying, one even poop on me, Damn Bird.

Closing my eyes, I focus on my hearing, trying to separate the sound of the wind, trees, birds and many other sounds which I can’t even tell what there were and only focusing on the breath and noises made by humans.

“Nah, can’t find anyone. So is either I am the only one here or this super hearing is a scam,” I muttered with a dejected face and thought that there was only one way to find out.

So the next 10 minutes I wasted on going to each of the other 6 houses and knocking at the door.

“Alright, so it's not a scam, that's good but this brings the original problem back to me,” I need information where I am. And if possible find a stable place to live,” I confirmed.

Actually, this place is not that bad, there are already empty houses here but damn it I am not here to live alone. I want some human interaction. Not much, but a little bit.

I just turned around and started to walk away from the place, taking the same route as those other men.

(20 minutes later)

After a mere walk of 20 minutes, I was able to see mountains and forest, I wondered how things were inside the wall, but this kind of gave me an estimation of my current location. 

Soon I stumbled across a small hut made of wood, actually, it's big enough to be a house, and fairly well buil.. ???

“Blood” my mind clicked, as my noise picked up a smell. I knew this smell pretty well, after all even I died in the pool of my own blood, out of all the things of my life, this one thing I remember well.

Don’t know why but I started running, my nose navigating my way, no matter how useless it was as there was only one house.

“Huff.. huff God …. I mean Rob,” I almost became breathless after a few minutes of running. 

Yeah few minutes of running, enhanced vision remember, I saw the hut from pretty far away and the same goes for smell.

“Need to increase stamina, urgently,” I stopped just a little far away from the wooden house and the smell of the blood was making me dizzy, or maybe it was the drastically decreased amount of oxygen as my little lungs even after working overtime couldn’t draw enough air inside me.

“Move move, need to see what's going on in there,” I reminded myself and stood up and with a bang I burst open the door.

Honestly, I shouldn’t have, the reeking smell of blood slammed into my highly sensitive nose and blurrgggg.

“Garrrrrr” 

Ah, an empty stomach is just so much better, one of the best upsides is that you can eat more. Great right.

I saw my puke mixing with blood and slowly forming an intriguing pattern on the floor which shone quite peculiarly in the light of the sun, did I see an undigested apple piece there, guess it should be the one I ate earlier tod… 

“Blurrggg goooddd ssnarr I mean blouddrrrr Rodddd” Shit.

Shit, I quickly got out of the house and immediately took in all the fresh air I could. And then told to myself.

Okay, those bloody human guts sticking to the walls and this rotten smell worse than my old shocks, got nothing on me. I motivated myself but then thought again, maybe the shocks were overkill, after all, I didn’t wash them because me and my buddy were competing to make the dirtiest shocks in the world, I don’t know why, just had too much time on our hand and we were lazy as AF to wash our clothes.

Guess who Won?

I shook my head as soon as my thoughts started to go on the process of making the dirtiest shock in the world and and an…..

“Blurrggg fuckkiiiingggg Shiiitttttt”.

(10 Minute Later)

Okay let's focus, this happened recently, I am sure because the kill is fresh otherwise the smell would have already knocked me out, not to mention the sky is almost clear, by now there should be predators lured to this place already.

I decided to go back and also slowly peek through the door. I was hesitant to take a sniff but I had to. The thing was, I had to find the smell of the person who did this. The smell is the only lead through which I can find out the culprit.

The moment the horrible smell again entered my nose, I ran back outside again. I guess it worked as I got the smell. Then I just started to sniff around, looking much like a dog than a kid and started to follow a smell which I believe is the one I am looking for.

Honestly, I am more positive about passing my exams than this working, but did it nonetheless as there is just no other way.

So after 30 minutes of sniffing around, finding traces and acting like Geralt of Rivia (Rip Witcher) I finally found a wooden cottage inside the forest.

Focusing on my ears, I sense at least 3 breaths inside, no there are 4. One is extremely discreet.

“Alright, now time for the million-dollar question. What the hell am I supposed to do now ?”
