The next day, Fredrick disappeared. Rumors began to spread that he was killed from the reaper's axe for breaching a law. And everyone knew what could lead to this punishment. Involvement with Crowman.
While Ivanov and Langer had been convinced Fredrick had broken a law, Boone was refusing to believe it. It was hard to believe after seeing the happenings of last day.
His wife had sent letter to Revival Factory. Maybe Fredrick is not erased but revived instead. He had thoughts which he could not take lightly.
The woman in blue seemed to have huge concern over this issue. She even went on to interrogate Ivanov and Langer but they knew nothing. Boone was not interrogated at all.
After the interrogation, both of them returned to their shelter where Boone was sitting all alone.
"Boone, you may also get in trouble for having known Fredrick." Ivanov made things clear, "It will be wise of you if you don’t have any connections with us as well. Grief has leant methods of torture straight from Hades. Very unpleasant."
"I understand. But can I do something for you before we part ways?"
"Let us know what our families are doing." Langer requested.
Not letting them down, Boone went to straight to Ivanov's home.
He was a Bulgarian. And as he had expected, things were different in his family. Even though Boone was not able to understand them, he got to know Iavnov had died about five years ago and things had calmed down.
He heard nobody say Ivanov's name. He was not sure if it was because he couldn’t catch their language or they, in fact, had gotten over his death.
Boone got to know Ivanov was almost of his age and was a deceased father. Things were different till he witnessed something similar between Fredrick and his case.
Ivanov's brother was writing something on his desk. Boone did not get to see what he was writing but saw what he needed to see the most.
TO REVIVAL FACTORY was written on the envelope.
He did not need to learn Bulgarian to understand what it meant. Boone vanished from there after then went to Langer's home.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
He got to know ten years had passed after his demise. Things were fine but he did not have any interest in knowing what the family was doing.
After a short observation to his family, he decided to go inside the mailbox to see what the letters were about. He could not flip the letters but could get in the envelope to see what was written there.
Till now he had not seen anything related to Revival Factory.
Boone saw a letter coming down at him. The envelope passed through his invisible body and fell under his feet. Soon he was standing on an envelope which read:
TO REVIVAL FACTORY.
When he returned to Ivanov and Langer, he told them everything other than those letters. The three souls went on to have a decent farewell then after.
For more than three days, Boone walked alone everywhere he went. He had no interest in making any friends. Everywhere he went there were talks of Fredrick disappearing without being punished.
Talk of the town was something he wanted to stay away from.
A day came when Fredrick was not the topic of discussion among the souls. Ivanov and Langer had also disappeared. Nobody knew what to make of it but Boone knew what it was.
After it, he decided to not share anything about Revival Factory to anyone. His three friends had been revived but there was one problem, he could not see them because he had known them. Boone did not want to meet them either because it could bring suspicion on him.
He pretended to be alienated from everything about those three souls who had disappeared. Without even realizing what he was doing, he took out the rulebook.
A new rule had appeared there:
4) All souls must take permission from Woman in Blue if he/she wants to see any human being. Unauthorized visits to living world will get a soul punished.
The new rule meant nothing for him other than some stupid words written to control their actions. There was no way Boone could be kept tied by a piece of paper.
I can revive my wife, my son and possibly myself.
