'General Jack, I want you to eliminate a human on the overworld.'

'Who do you wish to eliminate, my Empress? '

'Amelia Watson. It doesn't matter what you do, but you have to kill her and bring her soul here, in the Underworld.'

'As you wish, my dear Empress.'

The Empress of the Underworld's Reaper ordered me to eliminate a certain human, named Amelia Watson.
It's been 2 weeks since I'm here on the overworld after borrowing.. No.. After possessing a man's body. And even then, I've been observing Amelia Watson's movements from a certain distance.

Even though from my perspective, she looks like an ordinary human being. I assume that from the Empress' perspective, she's a being that needs to be eliminated immediately.
After 2 weeks of observation, I started to make a move..

"Now how to corner her..", I muttered to myself.

My strategies are always simple yet hard to predict. Especially for a normal human being.

"I guess I'll have to make a pattern for our little detective. It takes time, but I'm certain that she'll figure it out.."

A Detective is a human's job, to observe and solve cases like robbery, kidnapping and especially murder. So.. I just have to make a mass murder in order to be noticed by her..

I started my plan by reaping female humans with Amelia on their names, and a specific first letter on their surnames.
The first letters of their surnames must begin with letters W, A, T, S, O, and N. In order to form my targets surname.
If she's really that clever, then she should be able to figure this out..
Every 2 weeks, I plan to reap 1 woman with the name Amelia and with a specific first letter of that woman's surname.

"It seems like the case just got handled to her.."

I've already reaped the 6 Amelia's, so the first task is complete.

It's been 3 days and it seems like Watson and.. A man? Are both in some sort of Café.
Are they starting to investigate my mass murder?

"If that is so, then I'll look forward on our fated meeting. Amelia Watson."

After another 11 days. It seems like Watson and the law are trying to corner me by using Amelia Watson as bait.

"Heh. I'm not stupid enough to fall for that, nor am I stupid enough to approach that.", I said as I was standing on a rooftop that's far enough from Watson and the Snipers.

The body that I'm currently possessing is a human body, and my soul is currently adapting to it. Meaning, my true strength and power still needs more time to be transferred physically.
And if this human body dies, then I'll return to my astral form and I won't be able to attack Watson anymore.

"I guess I'll go to the 2nd task of my plan then..", I said as I left the rooftop.

The 2nd task of my plan is.. To reap another human. It can be a female or male, this is just to make Watson come to me.

After reaping the man's soul which is located only 10 meters away from where Watson's apartment is, I screamed for help.
I adjusted this human body's vocal chords to a more female like voice, and screamed as if I found a dead body in front of me unexpectedly.

"GYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

After letting out that loud scream, I immediately hid in the shadows and waited for the police to come.

After they arrived the place got immediately lit by a helicopter from above, so I decided to escape the light and continue to hide in the shadows.
As the police were checking the body, I checked if Watson was with them.
