Chapter 99: Suspicious Reyes

"One latte on go please."

"Coming right up!" The girl working here sure is pretty. Her ponytail was waving left to right as she talks. It was one of her habits. It wasn't a bad habit. You could say it makes her cute in a way.

"Here you go." I grabbed the disposable coffee cup and went out. This coffee shop is opened a month ago. I became a regular customer as this cafe is close to the prison. If I would be a little early, I could seat here and enjoy my drink. However, today I was exceptionally late. For that reason, something like getting scold by Mr.Lukas is deemed to happen. I let out the possibility of getting away without being spotted by Mr.Lukas and stepped forward. The parking lot of the prison was packed up with cars and bikes. The one spot that should be filled with a car was empty for some reason. Nevertheless, I went in hurriedly. I don't have time to pay attention to such things. If I wander around more it only cost me more pain. The unforgivable Mr.Lukas would kill me for sure this time. Everyone was busy as usual. The guards had scornful expressions as usual. I wondered do they ever smile? Every time I look at their face, they had some kind of dark shadow fallen on. Was some kind of curse in this prison? The scariest ones are the guards of 4th wands. They have deadly glares. I sometimes freak out Because of that. However, the prisoners didn't budge a little. They might be used to it. I somehow felt like it was kinda formalities to work here. Like a rule

"YOU CAN NEVER SMILE." something like that.

Ahh! This is getting hard. I went inside the temporary room given to Mr.Lukas. well, I can't say a room. It was more likely a place to interact with the prisoners. This cabinet was right beside the torture room. Because of that reason, Mr. Lukas likes this place although it has no bed or anything in it. He would spend his entire time here observing Jodan using the CCTV footage. Mr. Lukas requested a monitor that connects to the CCTV camera places in the torture room.

It's been a week. There's no information from the other end. Mr. Lukas was running around trying to make a thing or so out of him but Jodan was stubborn as hell. He denied every little piece of information. He didn't deny the fact that he has the system. Mr. Lukas never once believed his story. In his eyes, Jodan is a pathetic liar. The liar who can't even lie properly. I also agree with Mr. Lukas. Even if Jodan is telling the truth, there's hardly any chance of proving his innocence. He was gradually losing hope of proving himself.

"huh? He's not here?" I asked Ms. Clara who was glazing at the CCTV footage attentively. I was pretty shocked to see her. Well, what can I say? she has some kind of unrequited love for monsters. Perhaps, it's because of the research purpose. I unconditionally moved the conversation a bit more.

"Well, Where's he?" Ms. Clara finally took the eyes from the monitor to me with an unpleasant expression. Was it because I interrupted her?

"He said something about visiting a place and asked me to look after Jodan. Now I think about it he never mentioned the place."

"Can't he ask me about that? I'm his junior after all. It would be my job to do so." I was really angry, to be honest. Mr. LUkas always do such things. Did he think I'm useless or what? I know I'm not as good as him in terms of detective stuff but I at least can do that. Sh*t what the heck did he thinks of me?

"My, my, don't get so angry. Do you think you can come here 4 at night?"

"T-that's a.. bit difficult."

"You can't right?"

"Are you saying Mr. Lukas asked a lady to come at 4 PM?!"

"well, yes. I don't mind it as long as I get my chance to look at this notorious being."

Whatever I don't understand both Mr. Lukas and this lady. They're out of my reach.

"Wanna go inside? Alone." Huh? What was that for?

"This would be your golden chance. Think about it. Don't say that you're afraid."

"I-I'm not!"

"Than go!" Ms. CLara threw a key card to unlock the torture room. It was used to in Mr. Lukas's hand. He might have given it to her.

I was a bit scared at first but then again I mustered my courage and went to the torture room. The last massage Ms. CLara said was,

"Don't worry, I'm always looking from here. If anything danger coming I would pull the red button." That gave me more courage.

The red button is an emergency protocol. Whenever something dangerous broke out the red button has to be pressed. It would alert the guards. A quick way to notify everyone. It is also pressed when a prison tries to break out of the prison. It would immediately seal the prison cells tightly. Not even the guards can unlock it. The only way to unlock the cells after fixing the problem was to get the master key. It is handled on the Prison master. He is in charge of controlling the entire prison.

Nevertheless, I entered the torture room. As I took a step, I could smell a stinky smell. I was about to vomit but at the next, I stopped myself. Jordan was hanging on the cross looking thing with his both hand chained. You could say he looked literally like the cross from churches. Well, It could be made inspired by that thing. I don't exactly know that. I stepped forward and took a seat on a chair. The steel chair was hard. It shaped my butt flat. There's a reason to not having a wooden chair. The wooden chair is expensive as hell. Not only that also due to ecological problems. Due to excessive tree cutting and After WW3 trees have reduced to twenty percent. It's harmful to humans to cut any more than that. Anyways, Jordan was not unconscious rather he was downcasted. His eyes were noting but a blank paper. Did he finally give up his hope of convincing Mr.Lukas?

Chapter 100: Suspicious Reyes [2]

The room was indeed dark but there was a spotlight directly flashed towards Jodan. it had an intense yellowish aura. The pitiful face of Jodan was seen clearly because of it. No matter how I look he appeared like an innocent teenager to me. I know it's entirely unreasonable. A monster can't even smile. I wonder if they can feel happiness or something like that. Before long I have gazed at him for over ten minutes or long since I entered the cell. He didn't avert his eyes from the floor not even once. It looked as if I don't exist.

"A-Ahem," I tried to clear my throat but it was just an excuse to draw his attention. However, he didn't budge to look up. His downcasted glazes were filled with agony and I could see it. He appeared very much human to me.

"Why don't you say the truth? Lying wouldn't get you anywhere." I tried to convince him with maintaining a protective posture. It was because I don't have any weapon on hand. A human with no arms can't live for a second if the monster got out. To be honest, I was scared. This is my first time entering this cell without Mr.Lukas.

"Lie… To you, it might be a lie…" He said silently. I could feel his heavy breath coming out.

"The truth you are trying to say is baseless. There is no evidence to prove it's right." He would utter the same thing again and again and both I and Mr. Lukas are fade up. Even if Jodan is telling the truth there's no way he can prove it. He named a doctor that wasn't even a doctor, to begin with.

"The world is a lie. Even if I put everything on the table to prove that what I'm saying is right, would you believe it?"

"Probably if you could find a match with our database."

"The correct answer is 'NO' no matter how much I try, you people gonna let him chained here. Do you know why?" Jodan stopped at once as if he wanted me to answer that. I was puzzled for a moment but then again. "B-Because you're a monster?" I spoke the truth only. Jodan nodded as he was having a hard time talking. "I never choose the system, Reyes."

Huh? How did he know my name? Probably when Mr. Lukas was giving me orders he gasped it. Pretty quick-witted. "If I knew that diary could lead me to here, I would never touch it. The extraggation pain that my heartfelt was indeed dark and scary. "

"I don't want to hear your story. I have just one question." It's the moment I was waiting for. I agreed on coming to this cell along was to ask this question. It made me so curious that I wasn't able to concentrate on any other thing than thinking about it.

"Why did you save the child?" A monster can't feel emotion so they can be labeled as selfish people. But that day, Jodan saved a child before getting caught. If only he didn't save that child, he wouldn't be here suffering. Why was it? What made him do such a suicidal act? I can't find an answer to that. After trying to find a reasonable answer for three days, I have given up and intended to ask him simply.

"It's simple. I didn't cast my humanity. I may be one of them but I have some characteristics of humans " he said while grinning. Was he making fun of me anyway? I was not pleased at all.

"That's hardly possible," I said while looking straight at his eyes. His Dow glazes didn't hit me back.

"You don't believe me? Well, that's natural. I can't just introduce myself as a half-human half-monster person. People would throw eggs at me." Is this a comedy show? Then why he's enjoying it so much. Now, I have to say my technically analyzed one.

"Let me take your saving the child as an act. Then you used the act to get yourself caught."

"Do you really think I would get myself caught?"

"Well, that's true. Than ….." I got into my thoughts. What could be? Would it be because of his humanity? Let's run that possibility. What could a normal human being do? He would risk his life to save the child. Fortunately, Jodan did the same. That's a really complicated subject.

"Reyes, you people will always hate me for being a monster. I didn't want to be a monster. It's not my fault, to begin with." He said with a flood of emotions. I couldn't identify if it's real or fake. "You're different Reyes. You're still in a conflict between who am I. Am I a human like you or just a pathetic monster? You're not convinced where others have already reached the conclusion and labeled me a higher leveled monster."

Did he just read my mind? Well, it doesn't matter to me. Indeed, I'm not sure whether or not to believe him as a human or other beings. However, I'm convinced that he is a monster to a certain point. I got up from the chair and was on my way out. The stinking scent of dried blood was making my head spin. It was an intensely disgusting scent. The last thing I heard coming out from Jodan's mouth was, "Don't think like a fool."

After getting out I locked the cell tightly with the key card. What the hell did he think?! I'm a fool? Are that son of a b---

"Reyes" hearing my name out of the blue was enough to freak me.

"Ms. Clara? Shouldn't you be observing Jodan in the next room?"

"Yeah, I just came here to see how you're feeling. "

"How am I feeling? I'm not a child!"

"Oh, why so serious? Calm down first."

"I'm leaving now. I need some fresh air. Tell Mr. Lukas that I came."

"Okay." After that, I went to get some peace of mind.
