The Hunter System
Chapter 163 - System Identity (2)
["You serious?!"]
["But why did Bimi choose it?"]
["Stupid.."]
["Show me."]
A transparent screen the size of a 30 inch television appeared before Alvin. The screenshot contained video footage taken from several CCTVs at the scene where a girl, then 18, fell from a building.
Footage of the conversation between the girl and Bimi was also heard from inside the screen. It was the talk data that Bimi stored in the data bank when Bimi used Rimi's ability to stop time and talk to the girl in the air. The same incident Bimi had done to Alvin when he almost stepped on the foot of a golem.
When the girl refused, time returned.
Alvin closed his eyes, unable to bear to see the girl's body slide back and hit the cement floor in the building's courtyard.
Mina and Rimi watch the girl's condition until death picks her up. From there they could see that the girl was really dead.
["Can you repeat a bit of the tape?"]
Rimi did what Mina asked.
["Try to look carefully."]
It's not just Rimi. Alvin is now also watching the transparent screen.
Although only a fraction of a second, Alvin and Mina who can capture the superfast speed can see a little detail that occurs.
There was a slight movement and change in the position of the girl's body.
Mina asks Rimi to display a recording of the upper part of the girl's body so that she can see the whole body and then repeat the recording before the time of death.
"Didn't his body change a little?"
["You're right. He got a little taller after his death,"]
["Rimi, please measure her height before and after her death and match up with the woman inside the Dungeon. You have the tape, right?"]
["Good!"] exclaim Mina, excited.
"What do you want to do?"
["The woman inside the Dungeon seemed to be related to the poor girl."]
"Do you really need to investigate?"
["Of course. He must have known about the Dungeon makers' home planet."]
"so... So we can go straight to them if we know where they live..."
["And we will find Beelzebub the culprit of the destruction."]
No more talks happened after that. Alvin and Mina are both silent, waiting for Rimi to match the body between Anna Lloyd and the goddess Ann.
2 Minutes later, Rimi finally informed her of the scan.
["I guessed it."]
Rimi displayed footage he had taken from the satellite during Mina's hacking of the satellite some time ago.
There, they were able to see the stark height and difference between the bodies of the two women even though they had the same face and hair.
They really have the same face, not just the same.
"Is he a cloned creature too?"
["I don't know. But the important thing was that he must have information regarding the Dungeon's makers."]
"Shouldn't we just look for him?"
["You're right. Let's go find him."]
["Huh?"]
["No data where it disappeared?"]
Rimi re-imagines a video showing the gate where Anna Lloyd disappeared from.
["It looks like he was lured by one of the fallen angels and stuck on an alien planet just like us the other day."]
.........
The situation became quiet after the video ended until a few minutes later Alvin finally started talking again.
"Mina. As for that time.., there's something I want to ask you."
["Ask us on our way."]
"Journey?"
"All right."
["..."] <...>
"Wait first. What did you just say?"
["Help me at this time to close the 99 gates. That clear?"]
"..."
["You suspect that I'm not really a system, right?"]
"...Yeah." yeah."
["You're right. It's just Rimi and Bimi, it's the System and I'm not the System."]
"...I guessed it."
Mina smiled. He could read and hear Alvin's thoughts. So he knew that in the last few months Alvin had suspected him.
"Can you tell me who you really are?" ask Alvin. He had not yet moved out of his bed.
Mina laughs. The sound of his laughter was very cute and it made Alvin become a little distracted.
["Tsk... What are you thinking?"]
"Nothing."
["Rimi, please show us our biodata."]
["There's nothing more we need to keep from him."]
"So you've been fooling me all this time?"
["That's it. Just show it."]
A few seconds later, there were 5 transparent screens appearing before Alvin. Three screens are positioned at the top while the other two are below the third screen.
Alvin stared at all the photos on all five screens but he switched and focused his gaze on the one screen that Mina mentioned.
["The one on the upper left is Bimi."]
"He's..."
["The tanker you met in City C."]
"Gandri Bimo?"
["He has all your defensive skills. When he died in 2096, I took his Mana core and put it into my advanced computer."]
"...So.., those skills..."
["Sorry for lying to you. We have to give it to you gradually. Your body won't stand it if it's not ready."]
"So you make it look like a system in a game..."
["Yes."]
Alvin took a long breath. They were silent long after that.
Alvin recalled all the exercises he had done from the quest that Rimi had given.
"So the point is that daily, weekly and monthly quest, right?"
["Yes... And the punishment that Rimi gave was the maximum job hunter strength of the three hunters."]
"Tsk... I can't even move because of it."
["Therefore Rimi gave it to you gradually. If you instantly accept all of their Mana cores when your body isn't ready, you'll die instantly."]
"But why did you get their Mana core? Did you steal them after they died? Or..."
["You fool! Of course I can't kill them. They're my friends."]
"...I see...,"
"So, my Healer skill comes from the core of the famous Mana Gina Stewart?"
Alvin scrunched his forehead.
"You crying?"
Mina's crying voice grew louder after hearing Alvin ask.
Alvin ignored. She read Gina Stewart's profile on the screen at the top center.
"He was killed in 2093." murmured Alvin.
Alvin turned his gaze to the screen in the upper right corner. The most famous Mage photos in Southeast Asia and Australia are on the screen. Kevin Jung is going to die in 2090.
'So he's the first hunter who's gonna die among these guys.'
Alvin moved to the lower left. A photo of a teenage girl with a gentle gaze was there. If it adapts to the current time, he is only 19 years old.
Alvin then read the girl's information and was a little shocked after seeing how many skills the girl had.
If Bimo, Gina and Kevin only had five types of skills that all of them had mastered when he got a level increase and received their Mana core, the girl had eleven skills that he had also mastered.
Spiderwebs, airbenders, insect conquerors, thunderbolts, shurikens, punctures, lightning strike effects, poison, imitators, stealth.
"Rin? Who the hell is this? I never heard his name."
