The Spirit Hunter System
Strange and Dangerous Creatures

Feeling being chased, the figure suddenly turned around. Rushed towards Adam with incredible speed.

When the man turned around, Adam could clearly see his figure. That person was a stocky middle-aged man with short wavy hair. He was wearing white Mental Hospital patient clothes.

What made Adam feel unsuited was the way the middle-aged man ran. In addition to the strange way of running, the man ran too fast. Doesn't match his physical appearance at all.

By the time the middle-aged man was no longer far away from him, Adam saw the person jump while opening his mouth. I really want to bite him.

“This person ..”

Adam instantly dodged and hit the middle-aged man's shoulder. By the time the person lost his balance, he immediately scuttered and slammed the person's body onto the ground.

At the moment when Adam felt quite relieved, the young man was surprised to see the middle-aged man who suddenly got up and tried to pounce on him. The man didn't look like he was in pain when he was slammed hard enough on the floor.

Looking at the faint black smoke coming out from the middle-aged man's mouth, Adam's eyes narrowed.

“Are you okay, Ad ... I mean, Owl!”

“You back off first,” said Adam coldly, “This is not something that you guys can handle.”

“You mean ..”

During his previous patrol, Adam had Jennifer call him Owl when he was outside. Yeah, just to hide his identity. Although there was no one around, the woman still called him that, making Adam feel relieved.

Seeing the person continuously trying to bite himself, Adam looked rather relaxed. He even looks quite curious.

Let's see how resistant this guy is …

Adam continued to dodge and occasionally dropped the middle-aged man. At first it looked unproblematic, but the longer it took, the person's movements ended up becoming more and more chaotic.

Jennifer who saw how Adam controlled the madman who subverted some cops easily looked surprised. He could not have expected that the madman could be controlled to such an extent.

Adam himself who had seen the man had to his limit only shook his head lightly. He finally decided to finish it all. While slamming the middle-aged man's body, Adam used Suzaku’s Cry skill.

“Fall!” adam said coldly.

After being slammed, the figure of the middle-aged man suddenly rolled on the ground while roaring madly. Instead of realizing it, the person became even more insane and directly attacked Adam.

Seeing what had happened earlier, Adam's expression became even more serious.

Not an evil spirit, is it?

Adam thought when he did not see the spirit figure that possessed the middle-aged man. After giving it some thought, he immediately shot towards that person. Covering his hand with a thin Qi energy, Adam directly hit the middle-aged man's stomach with his palm.

Receiving Adam's attack, the middle-aged man rolled around on the floor before finally kneeling while holding his stomach. The man then banged his head against the ground several times before opening his mouth wide.

Just then, a strange black-colored lump emerged from the middle-aged man's mouth. The man spewed out the black blob before his body collapsed.

Adam immediately saw the black blob. The thing was the size of a mature woman's fist suddenly wriggled. Yes ... writhing.

After careful consideration, it turned out to be a black caterpillar the size of a fist. It was round in shape with disgusting looking flesh and slime. The strangest ...there was a red distorted face pattern on the caterpillar's back.

It really looks weird, disgusting, at the same time terrible.

“O-Owl .. m-creature .. what creature is this?” jennifer asked in a nervous and panicked voice.

Looking at the fat caterpillar that continued to wriggle strangely but could not escape from its place, Adam's expression became even colder. He looked straight at Jennifer.

“Give me your knife,” said Adam.

“E-Eh??” With a somewhat absentminded expression, Jennifer gave the knife to Adam.

Adam who received the knife directly stabbed the strange caterpillar. When stabbed, the caterpillar hissed while continuing to wriggle until it finally stopped moving and died.

Pulling the blade, Adam's expression slightly changed when he saw the blade that had become quite blunt due to the corrosive liquid.

“This creature is not simple,” murmured Adam.

“This is just one of those weird creatures I talked about.”

“Eh??”

Hearing Adam's words, Jennifer looked surprised.

“M-You mean ... all this time you tried to hunt such a monstrous creature?” jennifer asked with a surprised expression.

“More or less like that,” said Adam indifferently.

“Lalu .. do you know what this creature is?”

Looking at Jennifer who was rather shocked and curious, Adam felt somewhat astonished. But his guess is right. The woman could not see the two Spirit Beads (bronze) emerging from the caterpillar she killed. Apparently, that thing is a special System item.

Adam took the two beads and stored them in the Items Bag. After which, he touched the strange caterpillar with his fingertips.

[Caterpillar Darkblood Carcass ]

The wreck of the Darkblood Caterpillar. A being that inhabits the body of another living being with high vitality and energy, just like a human. The creature will absorb energy from its host. After absorbing enough, the creature would evolve to the next stage.

Normally, its host would die when all of its energy was absorbed depleted.

…

Looking at the description of the System, Adam felt his scalp numb. He now knew that all of that must have been done on purpose. The problem ... he was confused how could there be such a cruel person.

The culprit clearly sacrificed the life of one person to raise that one strange creature.

“Owl? Hey, why are you quiet? Can't you answer my question?”

Jennifer's question awakens Adam from his daydream. The young man then shook his head lightly then explained.

“This creature is called Darkblood Caterpillar. This creature will use living beings as hosts. They absorb their energy to grow. In the end, the host will die.

You could say, this strange creature is a very dangerous type of parasite.”

“A-Is what you said true, Owl?”

“True.” Adam nodded firmly.

“Then we have to report it to-”

“No, Jennifer. Your colleagues or superiors will not believe in such superstitions. You better give up than be considered lost. Also …

Who knows if there's a henchman in the police force. If anything, it is very dangerous when the other party finds out that you understand about Darkblood Caterpillar.

Most likely you will be targeted.”

Hearing Adam's words of reason, Jennifer finally decided not to say them. For some reason, the girl believed in Adam. Not to mention, he felt that the handsome young man was worried about his safety.

Hehehe .. Adam still cares about me.

If Adam knew what Jennifer was thinking, the young man would definitely be dumbfounded. He would never have expected that the beautiful policeman who was sometimes like a tigress when angry had such simple thoughts.

“What's up, Jennifer?” ask Adam.

“It's okay.” Jennifer snorted coldly.

Seeing Jennifer's change in attitude, Adam felt a bit strange. He even complained in his heart.

There must be something wrong with this woman's head.
