The Presumption of Innocence - Innocent Presumption

Like most big cities. In addition to entertainment venues, tourism visits, delicious food, and their friendly people, it is undeniable that they (the city) have hidden the other side of the city from a public point of view. On the other hand, this is a dirty place, where people are sick from malnutrition, high crime rates, even never once visited by the government. They just talk with their long noses like pinocchio.

Same with Amiya. The mission this time assigned him to look for someone in the slums of Lungmen. The area is far from civilization, where the spread of community diseases such as discrimination, crime, and many more.

For this mission, Amiya enlisted two Rhodes Island operators. One of them is a guard, the other is a defender. Given the lack of knowledge Amiya will Lungmen and slums, Amiya then decided to cooperate with an organization called Penguin Logistic in this task.

Note: often, Penguin Logistics is known as a delivery company consisting of Messenger that will deliver packages to its destination "no matter what it takes". However, it said that P.L. could also provide other services, ranging from armed couriers and/or escorts to track and carrier searches. P.L. also has many commercial establishments, one of which is a bar in Lungmen named "The Ends of the Earth."

In this task, Amiya asked for help from P.L. to guide their path. It is expected that by hiring the services of P.L., they can complete this task quickly.

"Hurry, hide! I. I have to go." said a mysterious girl. Before he left, he seemed to give a doll to the children.

"Take this, this is for you. This is a protective talisman. My mother taught me how to use it, and this is what I made." said the girl as she took her doll out of her pants pocket, "When you make this doll with your hands, you will continue to feel safe."

"okay! Misha, we'll take care of her!" reply to those kids.

The girl's name is Misha.

"Good, good. Now hide and don't talk!" sahut Misha's.

"okay!"

Not a Reunion or a debt collector, Misha is being chased by a gang of criminals. No one knows the reason why they are after Misha, because Misha is nothing more than a young girl.

"Where did they go?! Chase it..! Let's see how far they can run!" said one of the rioters.

As the rioters search for Misha, they get a jakspot. This is. very bad.

"Hm..?? Now..what is this?"

...*****...

"Based on Exusii data, our target should be around here somewhere. Argh.the terrain here is complicated. If we do it alone, this assignment will be very troublesome. Luckily, before I came here, I met Penguin Logistics" Amiya said.

Gravel.. Amiya heard something from the street corner, "Who's there..?!" said it. Curious, Amiya then approached the source of the voice, "Those people..!"

"Criminals! You're crooks! Release us! Release..!!"

The rioters managed to catch the children who ran away with Misha. The children are not their target, but at least they know where Misha is going.

"Say, where did he go!"

"Don't pretend you don't know!" bully rioters A and B.

"Sister..! Sister..! Where are you..! Help..! Sister Misha..! Sister Misha..! Help us..!" exclaim those kids.

"....." couldn't stay still, Amiya decided to save the children.

"Who is that?"

"Get out!" say rioters A and B.

"...You'd better go if you know what's best for yourself." snapped Amiya as she walked towards the rioters.

"What the fuck?!"

"You don't seem to be from here! You're not afraid of us?"

Not knowing what Amiya was doing, he raised his hand then said, "If not." slowly a wisp of magic began to form in his palm, and was ready to be shot towards those people.

"...A - What is it?!"

"S - Magic! He's using magic!"

"Argh.. stay away from me!"

"Never bother a helpless person again!"

"Heh.. monster, huh?"

No wonder, since the first infected are often called monsters. They (normal people) just don't know. Not all of the infected are as cruel as they imagined.

"Everything's fine. Now you can get out. It's dangerous here. You have to go and find a safe place" Amiya told the children.

"Thank you very much, Mom!"

"Be careful!"

Shortly after the boys left, two Rhodes Island operators came to him. They are Franka and Liskarm, the operators assigned to assist Amiya in this mission. Liskarm is a defender operator that has a strong defense, suitable to be placed in a lunge terrain. Franka himself was a sword-wielding man. Although a woman, but her skill in swinging a sword is beyond doubt. The same goes for Liskarm.

"Amiya, what's wrong?" ask Franka.

"Hm. I just saw the infected, it may not seem to be registered."

"From Ursus?"

"Yes. He's headed to the slums. Franka, gather the nearest operators."

"okay."

"The deeper we get into the slums, the worse it gets. This place is filled with ordinary residents, criminals, and refugees. They all blend into one. We have to make preparations." said Amiya.

"Amiya, we got a call. Please wait a minute." said Liskarm.

"...Right." Liskarm is currently talking to L.G.D. through a walkie talkie, "Amiya, this is from L.G.D."

"What is Mrs Chen?" ask Amiya.

"Rubber." he replied. Liskarm then continued the call, "...Right. We've found some unregistered infected. Yeah. what..? We're looking for the daughter of Ursus, short white-haired, about 145cm tall, her name is Misha?"

"That's..?" amiya guman.

"...Understand." replied Liskarm, "Amiya, Madam Chen wants us to look for an infected person who has been described. Once we find him, we'll drive him straight to L.G.D."

"Can I talk to him?" Liskarm then gave the walkie talkie (call) to Amiya, "Hello, hello.. Madam Chen, can the madam hear me?"

"I listened" Chen said.

"Can I confirm the truth of this commandment?"

"100% true, apply now."

"I understand."

Tut's.. Chen immediately cut off his contact with Amiya.

"...He shut it down."

"That's Chen. He's very strict." Franka said.

"From now on, this mission will be our mission.." unfinished Amiya said, suddenly Liskarm interrupted his speech. There is bad news that Amiya must know.

"Amiya, I got a message from some defenders. They meet a man who is openly hostile to Rhodes Island. Worse yet, the assailants were no ordinary people. They are the infected."

"...Tell all defenders to come back. Surveillance team, our target is a short white-haired Ursus woman, 145 cm tall. Remember to stay hidden and stay in the safe zone! Other operators, follow your lead and spread out."

"So, are we going to lure them?" ask doctor.

"Heh, not bad. Liskarm, this guy is pretty smart."

"...Doctor Leon is our tactical leader. You have to be more serious." said Liskarm.

"Let's start!" after giving the order and felt all the soldiers understood what to do, Amiya then went to do his part. But in the middle of the road, suddenly Amiya was silent. He seemed to be worrying about something, "So.. Rhodes Island must fight the infected..??" he said with a faint face.

Seriate.
