The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
207. Truths
Rei took out a pen and placed it on the table, "Now, I want to play a game with you guys..."
"What?"
"Truth." replied Rei, "One of us will turn the pen, whoever the pen designates will answer the question posed by the one who turns the pen, and the answer must be the truth."
Andhika looked at Rei with narrowed eyes, she felt that something was wrong with Rei.
The Rei he knew always thought wildly, very rarely did his opinion make sense as before, and now invited to play a game about reality, what did he mean?
He was reminded of the words Sky had said before, namely, "I feel a unique premonition about Rei, I want you to investigate it because my leisure time is a bit."
"My intuition sometimes misses, but this time I'm sure there's something inside Rei that makes him different from ordinary humans. Yeah, he's probably not just an ordinary existence..."
Rei is no ordinary existence clearly makes Andhika surprised, and in this game he plans to dig it up until he finds the answer.
"Okay, I'm the first to turn..." Rei raised his pen, placed it on the table then turned it around.
The sound of the friction of the pen fills the tranquility in the restaurant, and the tip of the pen used to write leads to Dusk.
"I want to ask you something..." Rei held his chin up with his hand, "Have you been friends with the Sky since childhood?"
Dusk stroked his chin, "Hmm, no. I met him when Surabaya was destroyed, and he protected me while waiting for help."
"Next I..." Vina grabbed the pen then turned it around, and stopped facing Dusk.
"Me again?!" Dusk pointed at the pen in annoyance, "This thing has a grudge against me?!"
"Oh, just relax, the pen has nothing wrong..." Vina cleared her throat, "Is your relationship with the sky just being friends?"
"Of course I do, what else do I have to do with him?" Dusk folded his hands, "And also, let out a question that does not contain the name of Heaven."
"Who knows the special relationship with Heaven..." Andhika smiled faintly, "My turn."
He grabbed the pen then turned it around, and stopped facing Rei.
"Rey, I want to ask you something..." Andhika looked at Rei seriously, and the atmosphere instantly felt tense.
"What's that?" Rei asked with a calm face, and made Andhika convinced that the premonition of Heaven was likely correct, though, because Vina and Dusk had already put on a tense face while Rei put on a calm face that was clearly different from the two women.
"Who are you really?" asked Andhika, and Rei immediately put on a serious face.
"Whatchu mean? Isn't Rei the Rei we used to know?" Vina asked, and Andhika raised her index finger, telling her to shut up.
"Whatchu mean? I am Rei. Right, I'm Rei Artawan." Rei looked at Andhika sharply.
Andhika smiled faintly, "Okay..."
Dusk grabbed the pen then turned it around, and stopped facing Andhika.
"Dhika, which one did you choose? Fight or youth?" tanya Dusk, and Andhika smiled widely.
"I risked 17 years of my life to make my future better." Andhika smiled even wider, "The sky once told me that she would end the battle against the Monster, and I was sure she could do it."
"My job as a Hunter is to hunt monsters, I will definitely fight, even though my youth is at stake." he replied, "You should have thought about that question, right?"
"Well, I think you're better than ever..." Vina grumbled, "You who are now might be able to keep up with the Sky."
Sky is the strongest teenager, that is what the world knows, as well as the four.
"Okay, next is me." Rei grabbed the pen then turned it around, and stopped facing Vina.
"My guess is, you like the Sky, and you don't accept that Dusk is closer to the Sky, do you?" rei asked, and he grinned widely.
Vina's white face instantly reddened slightly, and Andhika was speechless to see it.
Rei was truly a different figure from the first one they knew, even he could guess what Vina was thinking...
"Bu-not so! I just admire him!" Vina denied, and Rei sighed.
"Then, why is your phone wallpaper the face of Heaven in an article on the internet?" rei asked, and Vian was silent.
"That's just admiring it, nothing more." Vina snorted, "After all, how do you know that?"
"I was cleaning up in the meeting room, and your phone was left in the meeting room. I picked it up and saved it, before keeping it on my own and I saw the wallpaper." replied Rei, "And one thing I know, you both love the sky."
Andhika took her breath and she grabbed the pen then turned it around, ending up facing Rei.
"One question is the same, who are you?" andhika asked, and Rei's gaze instantly turned sharp.
"Why are you so serious about asking that little thing?" Rei looked at Andhika sharply.
"Your aura is different from before, you feel stronger than I last remembered. The practice of hitting the samsak a week can't possibly turn you stronger quickly." Andhika looked at Rei sharply.
Rei stood up and his movements were fast, he grabbed the pen and kept it and hit Andhika.
Andhika raised both her hands and held off Rei's punch, and she felt her bones shift slightly.
He jumped back and a shouting sound rang out, he glanced at Dusk and Vina who was pointing their respective pistols at Rei's head.
"IHO's main rules, there can't be a fight between Hunters except training." Vina looked at Rei seriously, "You can be sanctioned if you don't stop."
Andhika held her right hand that seemed to shift slightly and she approached, "I just asked, if you don't want to explain it to us, you just have to tell Sky, I said, he has more insight than us."
"What did Heaven tell you to ask me that?" asked Rei, and Andhika shook her head.
"On your own initiative, you don't have to suspect it, we are friends, we just have to share each other's secrets." said Andhika and she reached out her hand, "Sorry if I said something that offended you earlier."
Rei reached out his hand and shook Andhika's hand, "Alright, sorry if I just got out of control..."
The atmosphere of the restaurant was still chaotic and unknowingly, something bad was happening in his own country.

I sat under a tree, next to me was Carroline, who was still wearing only the interior. We stared at our clothes that were dried on the twigs at the edge of the waterfall pool.
"You can't just like me, right?" I asked, and I didn't hear the answer.
"It would be wrong if I liked you?" carroline asked and I sighed.
Even if he said that, I don't know what it means to like it. Even though I know, I won't have time to think about it.
I prefer to finish my fight against the Emperors and Monsters, stop this long battle then live a normal life like a teenager in general.
Yeah, that's my dream...
"You'll find out one day." I felt my shoulder being hit by something, and I saw Carroline leaning his head on my shoulder.
