The Spirit Hunter System
Big Bet

The Department of Mysteries headquarters of City B branch.

"Will anyone come with me to help Mr Owl?"

Hearing the question from James, the living room was instantly silent. Jasmine, Carole, and Douglas looked doubtful. Not only them, James who said that was also quite hesitant to come. After all, Mr. Owl had also told them not to interfere.

Even if they were allowed to interfere, the four people would still be in doubt because what Owl did was extremely dangerous and life threatening. Although at great risk, they may get big returns such as bonuses or such things, they still like a safer way. If they die, no matter how much money they have.

After a moment of silence, Douglas' figure suddenly raised his hand.

"There is, Douglas?"

"Honestly, I don't like Mr. Owl very much."

Hearing Douglas' words, the other three people simply kept quiet. They did not comment because they were all not very acquainted either. Not even a month. They are now in the process of getting to know each other and trying to understand each other.

"It's not that he's not good or anything. Instead, the man treated everyone like us well. In fact, too good. Maybe I'm too jealous of him, or I'm afraid of him. Maybe both? The point is, I just feel .. This place is too bad for a good person like him."

"Hey, you can't say that, Douglas." James protest. "What's wrong with this City B branch's Mystery Department?"

"An outcast who achieved nothing in the army, a working woman who was constantly fired from the company, an introverted girl who was always quiet for a reason, and I ... a disoriented former chef to connect his life.

If added, there was still a spoiled brat who did not understand anything and a 'soul' youth who had problems on his campus. I'll ask, Mr. James .. Which of us all deserves to be Mr Owl's associate?"

"..." - ".James remained silent.

"Honestly, we all accept this work not because of obligations, responsibilities, or things. We accept this simply because we don't want to be marked as a target or 'strange species'. That's one of them. But the most important ... because of the money, right?"

"..." - ".The other three were silent.

"Mr Owl seems to be young, has tremendous wealth, and many other advantages. I think ... he joined because he was 'forced' by the government, right?"

Hearing Douglas' words, Jasmine and Carole turned their gazes towards James.

James himself who was stared at like that fell silent. He let out a long sigh while leaning on his chair with a depressed expression. Looking in the other direction, the man finally explained.

"Yes. Although not entirely true. It's not entirely wrong either. Mr. Owl is very dangerous to the government, more dangerous than a professional killer. They want to bring Mr Owl to the government side, even some want to try to control it. Fortunately, there was one of the top brass who understood Mr. Owl's nature. He also approved a special permit for the mysterious man to be independent.

He believed that Mr Owl was a man who could be both hard and soft. If they treat him as a friend, Mr. Owl will not antagonize us. Conversely, if the government tries to control it, it must have the opposite effect. Mr. Owl must have refused and chosen to be a fugitive. It's more crazy, if the government of the experimenter keeps pressing him ... Owl will definitely go crazy and be a big threat to the government.

Yes ... that's what he expected."

"..."

Seeing the others still silent, James shook his head lightly.

"You can calm down. Although there are some rotten parts, but there are also good parts in government. Both sides are trying to push each other. Because of his movement ... we (good side) won Mr. Owl who was a strong favor. Honestly, rather than hate, I'm afraid of him.

You may not have seen his power. But I who only saw his physical strength was already frightened. So if there's an enemy that can indeed fight, match, and put Mr. Owl in danger .. we can't do anything."

"Yes." Yeah." Douglas nodded. "I understand what you mean, Mr. James. Honestly, I hate government people because I got fired from where I work because of them. I don't think I'm working for them now."

"Then ... What should we do now?" Carole who was an ordinary career woman seemed a bit confused.

"Of course we'll help Mr Owl!" james and Douglas answered simultaneously.

"Eh???"

Carole was confused. They both say they don't like Mr Owl very much, but instead try to save him. It's like saying no like sweet, but adding a lot of sugar in the drink.

"He (Mr Owl) is too good for us, Miss Carole. That's why I don't want to see that man sacrifice for us. At the very least, this old man's self-esteem could not accept it. Although we can't help fighting the enemy, at least we have to help him to escape from there." Douglas said in a serious tone.

"You said what I wanted to say, Douglas. Then what am I supposed to say?" James complained.

"Last words?" Douglas chuckles.

"My wife and daughter are waiting at home, of course I have to go back. If there is any danger of life and death, I will save Mr. Owl who is worth more and sacrifice you who are still alone, Chairman."

"Curtain! At least behave more normally and appear respectful so I'm surprised when you sacrifice me."

"Haha. I don't like that kind of trick" Douglas said.

While speaking, James and Douglas were already standing up and preparing. The two of them had even been wearing suits and shoes, ready to set off.

"Anu .. How about us?" ask Carole.

'I want to come too!'

Jasmine also raised the board high. The girl had a good impression of Adam. Although quite weak and looking reckless, he also wanted to help Adam.

"You girls just stay here!" james said seriously.

"But-"

"It's the best choice, Miss Carole." Douglas added.

"..."

Looking at the silent Carole, James and Douglas looked at each other.

"I think it's very funny, Douglas." James suddenly said.

"What?" ask Douglas.

"Usually you go home, but today stay at the headquarters. Looks like you want to compare the headquarters room with your rented apartment?"

"Continue?"

"It just so happens that you got such an important mission. Isn't that destiny?"

"..."

"If it's in a story or a movie, I'm sure this coincidence will lead you into a process that ends in the tragedy of death."

"Omong empty!" Douglas snorted coldly.

"Haha. I'm just scaring you."

When the two were ready, they looked back and said simultaneously.

"We're leaving."

Then ... The two men set out to follow and help Adam.

***

Ughb ... Is this poison? It's not too violent, is it?

Holding his stomach, Adam actually felt somewhat depressed. He even began to question whether the six children in the basement were good or bad. The Liez they said was 'kind' it was really crazy. No matter what he said, rather than realizing, the woman was even more and more furious. If it continued like this, Adam was worried that when the pills present in the item bag were used up, his entrails would be dug up by the woman.

Do I have to wait for the morning? They say evil spirits fear the light, right?

Despite asking that question, Adam knew he could not do it. It was a few hours before dawn. If waiting, it meant that he would fight against Liez for dozens, or even dozens of rounds. What he was worried about was actually not the stock of pills, but the Qi energy that might be depleted and the physique that would reach the limit of his exhaustion.

Looking at the multiple wounds on Liez's body and the two severed hands growing back and healing, Adam's eyes narrowed. Taking a deep breath, he finally muttered softly.

"Since the balanced method or the defending method does not work .. let's make a bet."
