Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 111 - Watch him

The man stepped inside. Stand in a room that is only illuminated by dim light.
There, hiding behind the darkness. Sitting on the side. On top of his seat of greatness, the man who became his master was.
"What do you really want to tell me?" Baritone voice sounds interrupted the entire room which is only guarded by a few people including himself.
The man bowed before him, saluting. "I came here to tell you something, sir. It's about Joe. Last afternoon I accidentally met him in the woods, and he was trying to catch one of the evolvers."
"Well what's the problem? Wasn't he assigned to arrest her from the beginning."
"I understand. But the thing is, the person they're after isn't the target he should capture, it's someone else."
"You mean?"
"I've been looking for information about the person he was chasing. But judging from all the data in the lab, I couldn't find it at all. Therefore, I'm here to see if there are any other evolvers who escaped from the lab? Evolver without the data recorded on our system?"
"There shouldn't be such a thing. Since every evolver who was in the lab at once escaped and disappeared to date, all of his data was recorded on the system. But are you sure what Joe's after is an evolver?"
"I'm not sure myself, sir. Since he had the aura of a pure human being, yet to my confusion he also had the ability of an evolver that was even more than one. In addition, the ability to recover itself faster than ordinary evolvers," he explained.
"What?" The man frowned. He was chin-backed, silent with the brain trying to digest every explanation. "You sure?" The man made sure.
This makes no sense, how could a pure human possess such an ability? What makes me even more clueless, why is Joe after him? There must be something they're hiding from me, he thought.
He looked up at the man in front of him. "I want you to keep an eye on him, and make sure once again that he's an evolver or not. In addition, keep an eye on whether Joe is still chasing him or not. You can do it, right? If he really is an evolver, bring him here immediately. If you can, before Joe catches them."
"Good, sir. I understand."
"You can count on me, Andrich…"

"You're seriously injured" said the professor, who now stands in front of a hologram screen showing his system. Joe was speechless, he really didn't know how to explain it. After what happened like this, the professor would definitely ask him about the reason why he could get hurt.
Why would I be here? Who brought me here? As I remember when I was in the woods, we were in trouble. Juan and Aaron were tied up in a tree, and I tried hard to put out the fire that burned my body. After that, I was unconscious and had no idea what happened next, Joe thought.
Professor noticed. He approached Joe, and stood by his bed.
"Can you explain what really happened?" Suddenly the professor spoke. Joe hurried to lower his head. He did not want to see the professor who now looked at him.
