'Jake' - or rather, the 'shell' housing 'Judas', has now made his way to the Imadeis Up Police Headquarters.
Jake had been a desperate man.
But 'Judas'… thank goodness, had come up with a plan.
'Jake' was just an ordinary guy, on the surface simple as pie.
But 'Judas' was different. 'Judas' was real. Braver. Stronger. Smart.
Compared to 'Jake'… he was worlds apart.
"J-Judas…" Jake asked. "What should I do?! Where to begin… I-I have no clue!"
His slouching, wretched, unconfident persona known as 'Jake', terror and shame in his downcast eyes, then gives way - to noone's surprise, since by reading up to Chapter 380 of this novel they had already comprehended the Dao of the heavens beyond the heavens and knew that this was merely yet another enjoyable day in the life of being a good looking, talented Great Grandmaster reader of this novel 🫢✨ - to a Cold, Ruthless Intelligence… who was now 'Jake's' mentor, confidant, and master… 'Judas'!!!
'Jake's' centre of gravity drops, his eyes hardening with a watchful, wary, and calculated purpose.
"I… suppose… well let me think. 'Jake', you know you're on the brink."
*'Judas' morphs back into the terrified 'Jake'.*
'Jake': "T-there's n-not much lower that I can sink…"
'Judas': "All right. Don't worry. Leave it up to me. Just follow my instructions - you'll soon see."
'Jake': "A-aniki, thanks![1]" [spoken like Simoné from Gurrén Lagann to Kamina]
[A/N: Aniki is a Japanése term meaning "big bro", Jake apparently watched a lot of Animu - including this legendary show - lately during his… spiral 🫢✨🐚]
'Judas': "Don't worry lil' bro… just so you know… we may not pierce the Heavens with our mighty drill… but still…"
"A-aniki…!!!" *Jake says in a boyish tone, clutching at his own - Judas' - sleeve gratefully*
*Judas places his hand on his own - 'Jake's' - shoulder with a smile*
"… the Hells are ripe to be mined… as we dig down, let's see what we find…"
