101 Avatars
44. The Voice of Judith

“So, Kaiser believes that Mecha, Sturdy, and Thief have each nailed Mr Bosman's face and his wife and child?”  I asked curiously too.

“Ya, there you go.”  Kaiser replied briefly.

However, after that, I saw Kak Kaiser's face return a complicated expression, as if there was still something he wanted to say.  I waited patiently and anticipated what Kaiser would say next.

Kaiser sister also spoke again, “About 10:30 this morning, I managed to defeat Thief.  Simultaneously, it can be seen from the results of monitoring AI5203 that Mr. Bosman's son left his house at about 7 am passing by and did not return home until now, though he usually always returns home at night, typical of exemplary students.  Isn't this a bit of a coincidence?”

“But he could just hang out with his college friends.”

Against Kak Syifa's comment, Kaiser's sister shook her head.

“AI5203 did not find a single close friend of the child.  He actually described the introverted type of child.  And try to look at the child's face again.  Is that really the face of a 21-year-old?”

True said Kaiser, the child's face not only looks youthful because of his white and beautiful skin.  He was really young in a literal sense.  One of the characteristics of the avatar monster was its body that could not age.  His age will continue to lag behind in the time when he memimik hostnya.

Crusader came out of my change bracelet in his mini hologram form.

“Try showing me, show me.  I happened to see the human face of Thief.”  Crusader looked up at the screen.

“Click.”

Kaiser's brother returned the screen to the third slide position which showed a photo of Mr. Bosman and his wife and child.

“Hmm.  Is this him, huh?  I think he is.  But the makeup at that time was a bit different, badboy types, while the ones here were glasses and looked like a good child.  So I'm less sure.  I'm so confused, is this really him or just similar?”  Said Crusader while showing a confused expression.

But without overly piquing Crusader's opinion, Kaiser continued his remarks.

“If my guess is correct, then it is likely that Mr. Bosman is Mecha in disguise, while his wife is Sturdy, or it could be the other way around.  Therefore, tomorrow Saturday, December 15, 2057, we will investigate together with the couple.  I also alerted AI5203 to support in addition to keeping an eye on the development of the news of Jangky, Mr. Bosman's son, in case that our assumption is wrong if it turns out he is fine.”

Before he continued to say, Kaiser sister first scanned her gaze towards us, observing us one by one.

Kaiser then patted my shoulder.

“And for Mr. Bosman's investigation, leave it to me and Adrian.  Based on his routine, Mr. Bosman will spend the morning cycling around the park near his home, then leave the house at around 8 am to attend his golf club events, then in the afternoon, then in the afternoon, he will stop at his favorite cafe which also provides a cafe service to play virtual games.”

Thus, the division of duties for all members of the Red Blood Hero team was completed and we were prepared to execute him the next day.

What a beautiful night.  Unfortunately, the night in this city is full of fog so that the stars are always unclear.  I remember when I was last at my grandmother's house when I was 6 years old, the stars there looked more beautiful.  I miss my grandmother.

I only have two families left, Kaiser and my grandmother, who currently live with my uncle and aunt in Germany.

I've never heard anything about my father's parents.  As for my maternal grandfather, he died in a tragic accident in his lab 16 years ago.  At least, that's what Kaiser told me.  However, I am not stupid.  I've been figuring it out and managed to find out the fact that the accident was actually engineered.

The same thing happened to my father and mother for the same reason three years later.  Somewhat different from my grandfather who was an archeologist researcher who was buried in ruins in his underground lab while investigating an archeological site, the accident of my father and mother was really very clearly intentional.  However, Kaiser Brother was innocently still trying to convince me that it was all just an accident.

Where maybe the lab that aims for the development of virtual games can fire because of electrical shortcuts, even though the building is supported by a lot of sophisticated equipment to prevent this from happening.  And where it might also happen by chance where all the exits that existed when the fire was jammed, making all the researchers in it died dominant because of out of breath due to being trapped in the smoke of the fire.

Obviously it was murder.  Different from me who was the time of Grandfather's death, not yet born in the world, and also the time of Father and Mother's death who were about a year old, Kaiser Sister has been able to remember, but still in the body of a boy.  It must have been harder for him.

But he always hid bad things from me and always wanted me to laugh happily.  Isn't that unfair?  I also want to share the pain with the brother I love most in the world.

When I was a child, Kaiser left me with Grandma and Uncle family to study in Indonesia when I was just 3 years old.  I recently learned that it was all a lie.  Learning virtual physics is just an excuse.  What was my brother's main goal was to investigate Grandfather's death which all started from the artifacts brought from the Primbonan Temple.

Not only that, though, later I learned that Kaiser's sister had deliberately interacted with her former lecturer Father and Mother to investigate the deaths of my parents coincided after they sent a letter to their former lecturer.  My brother was 12 at the time.  I am very sad and sympathetic about his decision.

Before leaving, my brother Kaiser left me a beloved robot that Grandpa said he bought on his sixth birthday as a gift to me so I wouldn't be lonely during his departure.

I was so small I didn't have a good memory.  But I remember vividly that day I promised her that when I was 6, I would catch up with her to go to school in Indonesia and live with her.  And I clearly remember that my brother Kaiser agreed to that promise.
