The Degree
Virgo Identity

On the same night after opening the data about Arthur, Ray did not forget to destroy the flash because he was worried about making a mistake and making others know.

Ray stepped on the object until it was shapeless before throwing it into the trash. Even if the stuff doesn't vanish soon, no freak will dig up a pile of trash.

“It seems to have been too late to the point that there are very few people here,” murmured Ray as he looked around.

The events of the discovery of the corpse must have been imprinted in everyone's memory. They are concerned that the next victim is themselves.

It's natural to think about avoiding wandering around when night falls. This situation is like ‘If you leave at night then Jack will kill you’.

Who doesn't have a fear of attacks at night? Everyone will be scared of course. Only people who might understand the situation or be confident with his Degree would be wandering around.

As Ray wandered around indistinctly, he saw someone from a distance leaning against the wall. That person was clearly aware of Ray's presence and used his eye tail to invite him.

Ray follows him and finds the man going to the movies. He starts ordering tickets from the movie at random and uses his hands to show that he is treating Ray about it.

Of course, there is no need to refuse this. Even so, vigilance is needed because Ray does not know what awaits him inside.

The cinema room in which there were already several people waiting.

“You can sit anywhere with the condition of being able to hear a conversation between us.”

The man who brought Ray here was Guren. A strange person with a strange Degree is turning his words from lies into reality. Ray hasn't seen this guy in a long time. I don't know what Indri asked him to do so that Guren did not appear on the surface these two months.

“For a long time no see, handsome.”

“You seem to be in good health. And, somehow getting more enchanting.”

As usual that Rani and Rina would tease him with such a compact. Ray also did not see them for a long time and found a significant change. I don't know why they both seem so much more mature than before.

“Please sit wherever you like,” Indri smiles kindly and asks Ray to choose his seat.

Surely Ray will choose a chair that is not far from the exit and a place that there is no one behind his back. Even if the people here had a partner, for Ray he was like going into a lion's den.

Everything was silent for some time until the film finally began to play. Reid doesn't know what this story is about but he tries to enjoy it a little.

It seems that this place also already has a special setting where the sound is not too loud but not too slow as well. It is used that a voice recorder or similar would be useless.

‘This woman must be her brain. It was terrible because he had predicted my vigilance,’ thought Ray.

“What do you guys want?” Ray opened the conversation.

“Nothing. I'm only interested in the plan you prepared.”

Ben came to help on Indri's orders. This woman foresaw many things, she even understood that Ray was going to do something and that was the reason that prompted her to send Ben.

“We have done it as per instruction. All the bombs that were there were scattered. In addition, Ben's ability will be useful and work as desired.” Indri who spoke represented Ben, who for some reason used makeup and waved his hand.

‘Is he alert and using his Degree? Or maybe there's something else.’

“I can understand half of your purpose in doing so. However, there are many things that I do not understand about this,” said Indri. “What's your real destination, Ray?”

Indri knew from Ben that Reid wanted to eliminate half the population of people who were here. It was a mass murder but sooner or later it will happen.

“You will know when the time comes for you to know. I don't need to give any explanation about my destination.”

One week from now will be a huge gamble for Ray in uncovering Arthur's Degree and how can this guy have the goddess of fortune by his side.

“So so. Just to make sure, you didn't make any deal with the other party, right?” asked Indri in a mocking tone. “I killed Sebastian because that guy was annoying. I also got some information about Virgo despite failing in his arrest.”

Ray does not know that there is a grand plan going on without his knowledge. Indri tries to catch Virgo. How-to? Unknown but certainly has something to do with some of the others here.

“Guren, Rani and Rina have been searching periodically. We managed to track him down and cornered him but failed because the bastard was not weak.”

Indri conveys that even Virgo is able to trick Hiroshi's abilities. Even that person was not easily caught up in the game Rani and Rina said.

While about Guren's lies, it was very easy to overcome this person. Guren's words would be a lie, then to overcome it was enough to make him unable to say anything.

“And you know what surprised me? Virgo— this bastard is a woman who has been very close to you all this time.”

Ray raised his eyebrows in surprise. Knowing the Virgo's gender is already a big advancement, especially when Indri says that this person is close.

“Do you know his face or at least his identity?” ray asked who was very interested regardless if this was the truth or not.

“When the woman was cornered, Hiroshi managed to destroy her face cover and expose who it was,”.

“Yes. We are very lucky that the woman did not wear her usual mask. However, his identity was still very shocking. I didn't even suspect that he was the one,” said Rina.

Hiroshi who had been silently nodding, “She is the girl who always sticks with your group.”

Ray wondered who that woman was. All this time he had no suspicion of the people around him at all. But after taking consideration about the various possibilities of the existing Degree, it is not difficult to think that it is possible.

“I'm tired of going around in circles,” Reid said. “Can't you guys just say it clearly?”

Indri giggles and throws a tablet with a photo of a girl. It was a photo that showed where Indri and his partner had cornered Virgo.

Ray checks another slide when Hiroshi uses his katana to cut the Virgo's toll.

When the mask opens and shows a exposed face, even Ray is unable to speak.

Indri then spoke in place of Ray who was silent.

“The true identity of Virgo is a good friend of Erina Queen and a former representative of the Redwest union. This person is a woman called Mein.”

The woman who should have died at Ray's hands, was still alive like a ghost.
