Chapter 40: Avoid getting noticed

"You left me to die! Jodan!"

I held my head with my bare hand as I felt the sensation of a headache. It was a sudden one but left a deep pain in me. What was it? I felt like my dead mother whispered behind my ears.

"Are you okay, Jodan?" I nodded to declare I was doing fine. Although Mr. Heriss didn't seem to thought the same way.

"You haven't eaten anything for days. Right?" I didn't know how to respond to this. Indeed, I didn't take foods that contain nutrition.

"you should rest more. I have a dead look on your face. If you go outside with that look you would get arrested immediately." What Mr. Heriss said was right. I wasn't doing great. Even now my head was shaking as I took the glass from the tea table. To avoid getting noticed, I placed the glass back right away.

I was much weak than earlier because of the fight yesterday. Thinking about that boiled my blood. I was being paranoid about that incident. How could I forget after what happened there? There's no way I could forget. I swear you, Jessica, I would take revenge for what that bitch did to you. She would face the same dead as you, Jessica. You just wait and see.

"So, what's your plan, Jodan?" This time Kelan asked me not Mr.Herris but also to look as if he was interested to hear it.

I uttered the words that I wanted, from my heart.

"I would go to the police." Each one of the persons including Mr. Heriss had an astonishing look.

"I would tell the police about all me so that they could further conduct the investigation. Don't worry, I wouldn't talk about you people, that's a promise. I couldn't kill that woman alone but the whole police department can. They have the technology and manpower." There was a serious tone in my voice this entire time.

"Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. But I have to go now. If I told the police they might help me in some way. They can help me get revenge."

Sutashi busts out in laughter, He even went his way to hold his tummy. I didn't expect him to do such things.

"No wonder you are so slow wit, Jodan." He said in pity. It made me angry.

"hmm, What did you say?"

"I didn't ask you guys to save me. If you people left me there, the police might save me in one way or other." I uttered while crunching my teeth. I held a fist that was about to be laid on someone's face.

"They would certainly save you and also locked you in cells. Don't you think so?" Kelan said mockingly.

"Huh? Why would they? I didn't do anything wrong." I was able to argue with full power.

"You guys have done more than enough saving me. I don't need your help anymore. What I do is up to me. It's not you people's concern."

Mr. Heriss made a deep, deep sigh, "That's what you believe Jodon." said while facing me. Up until now, he was quiet, only listening to my argument

"I believe? Everyone knows about it. That woman killed Jessica." When I uttered that woman, a flash back of the incident came across me. My eye brow crossed with fury.

"Ah(sigh) So it came to this. Show it to him, Kelan." Mr. Heriss looked like he was in the process of losing the argument and was about launch his final evidence.

Kelan clutched a tablet before me. It was showing a live telecast of breaking news. A CCTV footage of—ME was there. Moreover, I was in suspect of the murder case of a young girl. Her name was Jessica.

I straightened my eyes wide and looked at Kelan in puzzlement.

"Is that me?" I asked him to get a confirmation.

"Truly you are, Jodan"

"The world isn't that simple like you think it is. It's a place for injustice people. The world we all desire is not what reality is. Reality often despairs us." Mr. Heriss was kind of gloomy or that's what I think.

"But I'm righ-"

"Even if I say you didn't do anything wrong. But if the other side of this world didn't see you. They would believe that you murdered. They would believe what they heard. That's reality, Jodan. The reality I hate, you hate, everyone hates. Isn't the world cruel?" His eyes were not like before, it was waving with a wide sense of despised.

"Even so, there might be some way. They are human after all. They would understand me. If I talk to them, I think I could make them prove my innocence."

"Why don't you understand, Jodan? Do you think they would believe your sketchy negotiation?"

"I have to do something. I have to avenge Jessica's death by some means or other. I can't waste my time loafing around!" I was enraged.

"Fine, let me give you two choices. First, involve yourself in the police and take your revenge. The second choice is you stay with us and we would help you get stronger over time. There's Kelan, Sutasi and Luca would help you to fight and teach you how to adapt to humans. Start a new life" Mr. Heriss gave me straight picks.

"I want my revenge now!" I spoke out my mind loudly. I turned my back on them and was on my way to head outside.

"You're weak! Jodan. They would kill you on spot!" I could hear Kelan's annoying voice.

"That ungrateful brat…" Sutashi sneered at me while looking right.

The last thing I said before leaving was,

"I don't believe you, folks. In the end, you're all one of them." I couldn't feel like staying any longer there. With that I chose

My clothes were enclosed with blood so Kelan must have changed them last night. I could feel the warmth of brand-new wearing. The cotton t-shirt was comfortable to wear. My empty belly growled as I walked on the road. For some reason, my body felt light and frail. I was too vulnerable to walk.

*Annoying Old Dude here! I was waiting for this moment. You're feeling light and frugal. That's because the fight last night took much stamina from the body. That made your body weak and vulnerable. Moreover, as you're not high level, your stamina didn't recover soon.*

"When it will recover fully?"

*that depends on you. If you slaughter, you might get a boost.*

I hate this old fart; His mind is full of killing. Whatever I think eating a meal would solve everything. As I thought that finding a restaurant became my top priority.

Chapter 41: ‘Downtown’

Currently, we are in 'Downtown'. This area is where the terrifying murder occurred. As Mr. Lukas and I, were in charge of this case, we had to be here for further investigation. This town is smaller than other areas and that made the monster came here and go without being afraid. This area can be noted as the most unsafe place. For that reason, the prices of rent and diary necessaries are lower than the usual rate. Even if this is not a big place, searching here is troublesome. Besides, the citizen living here were not very cooperative. They would shut the door down as soon as we knocked it. But we have MR. Lukas here, he would always draw out his gun towards the citizen to get their testimony. It's not a good courtesy for detectives to aim at common people.

CPA-4 concludes big cities such as 'Monkey's Resolve', Eyepatch, and some more ones that I couldn't remember. They all have weird names. The interesting fact is that they all are named by dwellers living in them. They have no official names. The citizens calling the cities by their name to make things easy.

If an outsider, I mean from CPA-3 or other continents came to CPA-4 they would have a hard time adjusting it.

Mr. Lukas was flipping a book that was laying on a minute ago. It was some sort of novel. More precisely, a light novel. It was supposed to be the boy's room, the one we saw on the CCTV footage. By now we had conformed to it by interviewing the caretaker of the building. We also tried to talk with other inhabitants but they all seemed to avoid us. Most of the apartments were empty for some unknown reason. Perhaps, people are afraid to live here. The other thing is we found another corpse although it was a suicide. The body was one month old. Thinking about the disgusting smell makes me puke again. Just what's wrong here? Everything is so dark and gloomy atmosphere.

"Found anything worthy?" Mr. Lukas looked at me in curious.

"N-Not yet. All the things have been washed by the water lack last night. Even so, there's hardly any materials that could help the investigation move."

"Yes but no. We have found whatever it left. There might be gold underneath the dirt. Don't give up yet, Reyes."

"He sure had an odd way to motivate people." As I said that I began diving my hands into the pile of books that were fallen from the bookshelf. It was the only thing that was big in this apartment. No matter how I think it, it didn't seem a monster's place for me.

"For a while now, I wanted to ask you about something that kept bothering me."

"Say it out." When Mr. Lukas permitted me to speak out, I became happy as ever.

"The thing is… Is there any chance for them to be good? I mean like humans. There are both bad and good humans among us. Is that possibility can't be applied in them?"

Mr. Lukas shot me a gaze. In that gaze, there was a bit of fury in it. As if I had pissed him off slightly.

"Look Reyes, they are monsters. Think it like this, if a tiger walked in front of a hunter. Will hunter hessite thinking that if the tiger is good or bad? You can't distinguish it because they are the creatures who had intellectuality, to begin with. At most the hunter would shoot down the tiger as he couldn't understand what its real morality is. They are also the same. They are monsters who should be commonly labeled as 'EVIL' They had no morality, to begin with. They are fear of humanity. If you want to save humanity, you have to eradicate every single of them. That's a must."

What MR. Lukas said was perhaps right. But somewhere I felt like there might be good of them or maybe it's just another delusion of mine.

The satan was once an angel. There might be a slight chance of what I believed is right.

The case we are handling is not simple, it involved one of the biggest mafia or should I say a gang of them (Psychopaths). Even Mr. Lukas was getting frustrated finding the culprit. The strings we were pulling didn't reply yet. We just have to wait and see what we could do.

"Reyes! Look, this is something we should send this to the forensic lab." He showed me a pack of empty cup noodles.

"Of course not, Why would you? It's just some vacant cup noodles. I don't think we would able to find anything out of it." Was his mind snapped or something? It's just a trivial matter.

"I'm not talking about that. There's a bunch of blooded tissues hidden underneath the cup noodles." Mr. Lukas was right on point. Indeed, there was a napkin enclosed with blood, it was a lot of them. I could see that it was human blood. This was something unusual in this apartment. Was the boy had hemoptysis.

[Hemoptysis is the coughing up of blood or blood-stained mucus from the bronchi, larynx, trachea, or lungs. In other words, it is the airway bleeding. ]

"Yeah, Let's send it to forensic lap. It might lead to some conclusion." Mr. Lukas didn't hand the napkins first rather he took out his gloves and touched the stained napkin. The next thing he did was gross as hell.

"Sir! Don't!" I tried to stop him but he licked the blood that was on his finger. He closed his eyes and was thoughtful.

After some time soon, he spoke out without opening his sights.

"This is strange. This blood is neither of a human or a monster. Then what is it? If I have to guess this is a mix of both of them. A hybrid!"

"A hybrid? Is that even possible?" That came out of place. There's not the way a mixture of both of them can be made. This sort of thing is only possible in fictional movies. I thought this is just another irrational thinking of Mr. Lukas. I didn't know what happened but Mr. Lukas might have gone mad. His brain cells might have been damaged by the CCTV footage.

"You're thinking I'm a preposterous person. Don't you?" huh? Did he have some mind-reading technique? Or did I speak my mind loud? Whatever it was I'm doomed.

"That's okay. I might be an absurd person with his foolish theories."

"N-No, No!" I didn't know what to do. Why has he suddenly had an emotional breakdown? That was odd. Was it might fault? Shi*t, now I'm starting to blame myself.
