The Spirit Hunter System
The Sound in the Midnight

In the living room of Thomas's residence.

"Are you sure that everything will be fine, Mr Owl?"

Seeing Thomas and his worried wife, Adam sighed.

"There shouldn't be any more problems. As I said before, Kevin received a curse."

"Have you found a solution, Mr Owl?"

"Not yet." Adam shook his head lightly. "I'm also trying to find a solution. Most likely, tonight I will meet with 'He' who has made your son like that."

Hearing Adam's words, the couple looked at each other in dismay.

"Can't you stay here for a while, Mr Owl? I'm afraid something will happen to Kevin if you leave."

Thomas held both of Adam's shoulders, appearing to be somewhat confused and more anxious.

"No problem with cost. I will indemnify the talisman, while you stay I will give you twenty .. No! Fifty thousand a day until Kevin is completely cured."

"But Darling—"

"No word but. We know what we're dealing with is something strange and we can't handle.

Not to mention, I don't know anyone but Mr. Owl. Even if calling others, I'm afraid they can only throw nonsense without having a solution.

I know Mr. Owl is different. Sure ... He'll definitely cure Kevin. The money is worth it."

Thomas interrupted his wife. Kevin is the only child and will probably be the only one.

Thomas owns his own company. But because he was busy and could not maintain his health properly, by the time Kevin was 5 years old, he had impotence.

Kevin is now 7 years old, so it has been two years Thomas suffered and felt increasingly depressed because he did not recover.

Thomas was very worried about Kevin. Although he loves his wife, the man wants Kevin, his son who inherits his company.

No matter how much is to be paid, Thomas wants Owl to stay. Even if the masked figure stayed for a month, he could still afford it.

50,000 dollars alliance x 30 \= 1,500,000 dollars alliance.

Plus a talisman worth 500,000 dollars, 2 million alliance dollars he had to pay.

That much money ... Thomas doesn't care much.

"Please let go of your hand, Mr. Thomas."

Hearing Adam's cold words, Thomas awoke from his daydream. The man immediately released the grip of his hand then retreated with a regretful expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Owl. I really feel very worried."

Looking at a father who was worried for his son, Adam let out a long sigh.

"Just one night." Adam said softly.

The young man actually wanted to stay in the Mystery Department for a few days. It wasn't that Adam didn't want to go home, he just didn't want to bring an uninvited 'guest' to his house.

Adam is also concerned about Jennifer and Bella's safety if she returns.

"really?" asked Thomas in a pleased tone.

"true."

At that moment, a small voice sounded from the distance and got closer.

"Will Uncle Owl really stay the night?"

Looking towards the boy who was walking towards him somewhat staggered made Adam smile behind his mask.

"Yes. I'll stay here tonight."

"Good!" kevin said with a passionate tone.

"Don't get too excited, son. You need to rest."

Kevin's mother said softly. Unlike Thomas and Kevin who were happy with Owl's whereabouts, the woman seemed rather uncomfortable after hearing Adam was about to stay the night.

Adam felt it was normal. After all, he had the appearance of being a masked criminal right now. So if his existence made him uncomfortable, he thought such a thing was not at all strange.

After that, Thomas himself drove Adam to the guest room.

Seeing a room that was quite spacious, neat, and clean made Adam nod lightly.

"Because my room is broken, I'm gonna sleep in the guest room with Uncle Owl tonight." Kevin said with a cheerful tone.

"..."

Adam stunned. The young man wanted privacy. But seeing Kevin looking at her with eyes full of stars made her reluctant to refuse.

"Let's sleep with mom and dad, Kevin."

"But—"

"But why?" Thomas frowned.

"I want Uncle Owl to tell me his stories!" kevin said with a stubborn expression.

"..."

Don't I look more like a villain or a mysterious figure? Hero ... similar from which part?

"Mr Owl .." call Thomas with an apologetic smile.

"It's okay" Adam answered briefly.

"really? Is it okay?" ask Kevin.

"Yes." Yeah." Adam nodded lightly.

Looking at the happy-looking father and son, Adam could only sigh deeply.

***

Her night.

"Yes .. it feels uncomfortable."

Adam who finished the bath sat on the edge of the guest room bed. Since he did not bring a change of clothes, the young man put his clothes back on.

The difference is, now he hangs his coat and takes off his shoes. Yes ... The young man also returned wearing his socks and gloves.

Wearing a mask, Adam smiled bitterly when he saw the message of Jennifer and Bella who were angry and worried.

I don't know why I want to go home ...

Adam thought when he remembered the two women.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Come in" said Adam briefly.

The door opened and a small Kevin figure entered the room. The boy was wearing blue child pajamas with a picture of yellow stars.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Already, Uncle." Kevin nodded. He looks better than before. "May I ask, Uncle?"

"En? What's up?"

"Is it true, Cultivators like Uncle lived for thousands of years?"

"..."

Since when did a 2nd grade elementary school boy think of life?

Hearing Kevin's question made Adam dumbfounded.

"We do live longer than humans in general, but not for thousands of years."

At least that's what Adam thought. With his physical condition, the young man guessed that his age range must be over a hundred years. Of course, unless he was killed accidentally before time.

"That means my friend is lying" Kevin said with a sullen expression.

"Don't think so, Kevin. Your friend just doesn't know.

According to the books he read or the stories he heard, Cultivators were so old. He just hasn't met a genuine Cultivator."

"Why didn't he meet a real Cultivator, Uncle?"

"Because genuine cultivators are so rare."

"Then why did I meet you, Uncle?"

"Maybe it's luck and luck?" adam was calm.

"So so ..." Kevin who didn't seem to understand just nodded like a woodpecker.

That made Adam shake his head. I have no intention of explaining more.

"Uncle, tell me about the world of cultivation!"

"But it's a secret ..."

"I-I can keep a secret."

Kevin looked confused, but tried stubbornly.

"alright. Then get ready for bed, Uncle will tell you a story."

"really?"

"true."

Kevin who heard that looked excited. After the boy lay on the bed and put on a blanket, Adam told him about the world of Cultivators.

Yes ... more precisely the Legend of Condor Heroes story from his previous life.

Seeing Kevin fall asleep, Adam took a deep breath. He then sat in the lotus position while meditating, and waited.

At midnight, Adam opened his eyes with a serious expression on his face. Because at that moment, he heard a strange noise inside the house.

Such a faint voice in the middle of a silent night.
