Chapter 7 - Boot Camp Servers
When I was little, an animated children's detective genre entertained me especially during a scene where the main character was able to find out the main perpetrator based on alibi testimony and related evidence.
How could he do all that? That made me laugh at that moment.
I think it was very funny especially when the case was solved by a little boy!
I mean, what kind of public humiliation is that! A child who is able to solve a criminal case even the police investigators have difficulty solving it and the incident continues to repeat to more than a hundred episodes? Just be right!
Was the case so complicated that it had to be a child intervening to solve the case? And the police force just resigned after losing the motivation destroyed by a small child? It was so funny and made me laugh.
But, right now, I am in the condition that the little boy is in. How do I say it. It's funny if an amateur police investigator in the animation sees this. Their stupidity was much more normal than what I saw.
Maybe some of them will laugh or some of them immediately leave the location and assume events like this never existed then the case is considered complete.
Yes, maybe that's what the little boy felt when he saw the innocence of police investigators who could not find any evidence left at the scene of the crime. But for now, the reality that befell me was far worse than that of the little boy.
For starters, I'm not a smart person! Broadly speaking, my academic grades are at standard numbers. Not too stupid, not even too clever but if there is a problem that requires thinking based on logic, general facts, and reasoning. I can guarantee my expertise in managing all of that and making accurate information.
The original plan, I took this Detective Class as a side job to make extra money and pay the hospital bills. But! When I find out who did that! I was a little relieved when her brother wanted to help straighten out her sister's attitude. I love that responsible attitude! If only everyone still had such an attitude of responsibility, the world would be friendlier.
It is not easy to be an older brother where both parents work away from home and leave a younger sister who must be supervised at all times, there are always unplanned problems happening. Like the accident that hit my sister.
The responsibility as a sister was very heavy.
Managing income and expenses every month can be planned but if there is an emergency event like this, inevitably I have to find additional income to cover the costs of spending that are wasted.
Until I got caught up in this. Taking a Detective Class with a Quest that I myself do not know how to solve, being dragged into NPC problems to kill one of the NPCs, even indirectly adding NPCs to my list of natural enemies, to be honest this incident made me cry a little at how realistic the game I was playing right now.
Can I change the difficulty level of this game?
But what's worse than all that and makes me dizzy is..
Wh why? How can! The Nestrad Kingdom Warrior in charge of investigating Boot Camp Servere eliminated all the evidence so casually!
When we arrived at the scene referred to by Saintess Vallie, it referred to one of the buildings that served as the Supervisory Post. The shape is like a wooden house with a wall in the form of a large wooden rod piece arranged upwards, beside it is a stream of water that is not far leading to an artificial lake and surrounded by trees that have dried up.
On the way, I heard that Boot Camp Server was an open space training ground that aimed to develop the mental and reasoning of Arcadia Academy students to become formidable warriors for all situations. But, after seeing what they are doing here. It seems that the training was ineffective.
Even Saintess Vallie closed her face as if in disbelief the training graduates of this place did something this stupid.
The Genesis Case has a lot of potential information to be obtained. By conducting a systematic examination and analysis we can find physical evidence that is left behind to help the identification process regarding what has happened and who may be involved. Sometimes the evidence found can be lost or destroyed but the traces are still left behind and that is enough to help.
Waitaminute! Is it possible that this was the little boy's emotional feeling when the scene was destroyed?
Supposedly, the authorities were able to process the scene and secure the surrounding area that may still contain evidence, check the potential for evidence left behind, document the scene for analysis, and check the potential for evidence, collect physical evidence left behind, even preserve evidence for further analysis. Of these, there may be some evidence that requires laboratory testing. Although the evidence collected is small, it can be an important key to reconstructing events that have occurred.
The quality of the evidence found can improve the accuracy of events. But there are those who damage the location of the incident, either intentionally or unintentionally. Almost all the events that occurred can be fully explained by the placement of evidence left at the scene of the crime, but as some objects shifted, the authenticity of the scene has been polluted, he said, the existence of other items mixed so that adding evidence that is not related to the location of the incident is enough to change the authenticity of the scene and it will greatly complicate the process of reconstruction of the incident.
I will slightly change the words I heard from the little boy, “Only a fool and a perpetrator who deliberately damaged the scene, the rest is just the misfortune of the police.”
Well, it's already happened. So what do I do now? I was also surprised that there was a Quest like this. Should I start an investigation based on what the little boy did? Looking for evidence left behind even if the place is clean like this?
Put that aside, if the location of the scene has been cleared. Shouldn't there be some subtle evidence left behind even though the authenticity of the scene is already as heavily polluted as plastic in the ocean? I mean, we can still taste the salty sea water even though it's filled with floating plastic, right?
Is this parable too bad?
I saw Saintess Vallie who started to make this one army of soldiers kneel down and a small lecture chant sounded. I know you're emotional, but please don't make them that way. Let it be. They deserve it a little.
To buy time, I opened the list of the equipment sold on the [Detective Tools Shop]. Look for a little useful tool to manage this polluted scene.
Comparing between the [Skill Detective] menu list and the [Detective Tools Shop] menu list gave me little hope of solving this sudden case. Especially, when aware of the possibility of subtle evidence that may be left at the scene. It's just, we need the right tools to find it.
I reopened the Quest information that was currently running.
\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-
Special Quest – Saintess HOPE
Saintess Vallie Lister sensed a dark force trying to wake up. His duties as a Saintess protecting the surrounding community led him to send a reconnaissance unit for investigation. However, right after three days of the reconnaissance unit departing there was only one survivor. In her last attempt she gave a recorder crystal to give to Saintess Vallie Lister.
Main Objective:
[1] Find a lead to the perpetrator!
[2] Identify the perpetrator!
Difficulty Level: [Uncertain]
Recommended Level: [Uncertain]
Gift: [Uncertain]
Time Limit: [Uncertain]
Do you want to receive this Quest? (Voice Command: YES/NO)
\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-
When viewed from the information contained in the Quest there are some that attract my small attention.
The dark forces trying to wake up?
Saintess' main assignment?
Saintess's investigation unit?
Three days have passed from the incident?
One scout survived, but. why did only one survivor survive?
The recorder crystal that contains the hologram of the pile of corpses? Eh wait! This can be an event reconstruction aid. I almost forgot the crystal recorder.
I only have two objectives, look for clues and identify the perpetrator. This should be easy if the scene of the incident is not contaminated.
But what power, rice has become porridge. Currently, looking for the remnants of rice that has not become porridge must be done carefully.
My attention was on one of the [Blood & Bodily Fluid] menus located at the top [Detective Tools Shop]. There are several items listed in it such as Phenolphthalein Test Toolkits, Luminol Test Toolkits, Acid Phosphatase Test Toolkits, Prostate Specific Antigen Toolkits, BCIP Reagent Toolkits, and Phadebas Test Toolkits.
I don't know what it's for and how to use all that gear. To be sure, the price of all of those equipment was extremely expensive! Although I currently have some money I just got from Saintess Vallie, but still, frugality for something to come is very necessary. Even if it's just a game!
Eh? Whatisthis? I felt like I saw similar words between [Skill Detective] and [Detective Tool Shop].
Luminol Test Toolkist and Basic Luminol Efficiency?
Phenolphthalein Test Toolkist and Basic Phenolphthalein Efficiency?
Whatisit? My feeling of saying those two things is very important to get more attention.

Whatisthis? One skill and skill upgrade for a character with a Detective Class was extremely expensive! Waitaminute! Actually it is not expensive just that the upgrade skill offered must be paid with skill points? To obtain a full skill from this detective class requires 200 skill points!
Very expensive!
But if you look back, actually taking one skill with an upgrade skill that suits your needs is not that expensive.
Inside that upgrade skill, I found some unique things. Ghost Blood Detection, Goddess Blood Detection, and Evil Goddess Blood Detection. This is even more interesting because in this game it looks like a goddess and even a dead ghost can be killed. I remember what someone said, “If it bleeds, it can be killed!”
Very unlikely to meet them, it looks like I will miss that upgrade skill.

With a vague voice, I uttered [YES] as confirmation.
[Congratulations! You managed to obtain the Detective Skill: Basic Phenolphthalein Efficiency!]
[Congratulations! You managed to obtain the Detective Skill: Basic Luminol Efficiency!]
Alright, I've already obtained the skill but I still don't know how to use it. What's more, I don't know what Phenolphthalein and Luminol are. My hand immediately searched for those two words in the menu [Detective Tool Shop].
At least I found what I was looking for!

Not only were the skills expensive even the equipment for the Detective Class was also expensive! I think it's good that I save on spending. But I realized one thing.
It's a game world with more than one race!
What if the perpetrator who did all this is not human?
By the way how many skill points do I have left at the moment?
[Skill Points: 1,175]
Eh?
Why am I able to earn this much skill point?
What the hell's going on? Didn't I only get 1000 skill points from bug discovery? Why were there over a thousand skill points left. What the hell's going on?
I don't know what's going on, I guess I can use the remaining skill points to add the upgrade skill of Phenolphthalein and Luminol.
If only this world was filled with only one species, I wouldn't have bothered to buy this expensive upgrade skill.
For starters, I bought [Small Phenolphthalein Toolkist] and [Small Luminol Toolkits] and maximized the upgrade skills from [Skill Detective: Basic Phenolphthalein Efficiency] and [Skill Detective: Basic Luminol Efficiency].
[Detective Skill: Basic Phenolphthalein Efficiency Upgrade!]

[Small Phenolphthalein Toolkits has entered into inventory!]

By saying the voice command [Inventori], I accessed the contents of my inventory and retrieved the two items I had just purchased.
\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-
Small Phenolphthalein Toolkits (Status: Sealed)
Type: Consumable Items.
Description:
Contains equipment to perform Phenolphthalein Test or also known as Kastle Meyer Test. The purpose of this test is to look for the possible presence of blood based on the hemoglobin peroxidase reaction that produces a pink color for human blood samples.
Usage Way:
When finding a sample that is thought to be blood, take the sample carefully using a swab provided and then drop some of this potion fluid in sequence and wait for the liquid to react.
(*Test is a temporary guess, because the same reaction may occur from saliva, pus, vegetable extracts, malt extracts, and certain heavy metal salts).
Special Effect:
[+] Human Blood Detection (Pink).
[+] Dwarf Blood Detection (Light Brown).
[+] Drayd Blood Detection (Dark Green).
[+] Dragon Blood Detection (Dark Red).
[+] Toxic Blood Detection (Rainbow).
[+] Monster Blood Detection (Light Green).
[+] Ghost Blood Detection (Grey).
[+] Demon Blood Detection (Light Purple).
[+] Elves Blood Detection (Light Yellow).
[+] Beastmen Blood Detection (Red).
[+] Pixie Blood Detection (Yellow).
[+] Holy Creature Blood Detection (Gold).
[+] Cursed Creature Blood Detection (Silver).
[+] Goddess Blood Detection (Pure White).
[+] Evil Goddess Blood Detection (Pure Black).
\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-
\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-
Small Luminol Toolkits (Status: Sealed)
Type: Consumable Items.
Description:
Contains equipment to see the reaction of luminol that will be active when detecting blood. The purpose of using luminol is to visually detect the presence of blood from the active luminol reaction.
Usage Way:
This luminol liquid is used by dissolving or spraying on surfaces suspected of blood. This luminol liquid provides a fluorescence effect (*Note: fluorescence is the emission of light by an active substance) in blue which can be seen with UV light or eye contact.
(*Luminol reacts with hematine, a substance that forms with age as blood stains, and produces a bright light that can be observed in the dark. The light that reacts lasts for several minutes and can be photographed. Old blood stains tend to give a more intense and longer lasting light reaction than fresh blood, Luminol Test can be done repeatedly to observe the spread of blood).
Special Effect:
[+] Human Blood Detection (Blue).
[+] Dwarf Blood Detection (Brown).
[+] Drayd Blood Detection (Green).
[+] Dragon Blood Detection (Red).
[+] Toxic Blood Detection (Rainbow).
[+] Monster Blood Detection (Green).
[+] Ghost Blood Detection (Grey).
[+] Demon Blood Detection (Purple).
[+] Elves Blood Detection (Yellow).
[+] Beastmen Blood Detection (Red).
[+] Pixie Blood Detection (Yellow).
[+] Holy Creature Blood Detection (Gold).
[+] Cursed Creature Blood Detection (Silver).
[+] Goddess Blood Detection (White).
[+] Evil Goddess Blood Detection (Black).

So I see, I understand a little now!
The Phenolphthalein Test and Luminol Test can determine the type of race based on their blood. The Luminol Test is able to provide information about the visual spread of blood through fluorescence reactions, while the Phenolphthalein Test can be done to determine the accuracy of the owner of the blood found. They are very useful! I can't wait to do this test.
In other words, if I do both of these Tests now we can find out how frightening the events that occurred in this Boot Camp Server are.
Although I didn't get a DNA sample from the girl but at least I can have fun with this. At least, my curiosity will be paid for by this.
I think it will be a tiring day after this Quest is over.
I felt a hand touch my cheek.
“What are you doing?” Saintess Vallie is right next to me.
Behind him, I could see the royal warrior sitting down to rest. It seemed like the lecture Saintess Vallie gave had a powerful mental-destroying effect. I could feel the terror of fear from their facial expressions.
“No” I reply Saintess Vallie's question.
“Then, what is it?” saintess Vallie's attention was fixed on the two things in my hand.
“Well...something to know what is going on inside? I guess.” I replied to him in an uncertain voice.
Of course, Saintess Vallie was a little suspicious and looked at me so cynically.
“Isn't it time we find out what has happened?” I went to the entrance of the Supervisory Post, the place where all these terrible things began.
Right behind me, Saintess Vallie along with her two bodyguards and some royal soldiers followed me.
