The Spirit Hunter System
Interrogations
“Then, I want to save this thing. Is that okay, Jennifer?”
Seeing how Jennifer kept looking at him, Adam felt helpless. In the end, he tried to turn the girl's attention to another topic.
Jennifer looked surprised when she heard Adam's question. The woman then saw the corpse of a caterpillar the size of a fist that looked disgusting.
“You can take him.”
“Thank you then.”
By the time Adam was about to retrieve the corpse of the Darkblood Caterpillar, his expression stagnated. He had almost forgotten and wanted to put that thing into the Items Bag. If it was a Spirit Bead that not everyone besides himself could see, it was fine. However, he could not explain how such a carcass could disappear all of a sudden.
“What's up, Owl?”
“I forgot to bring a suitable container,” said Adam in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
“Hah? Then I'll give you one plastic bag that is usually used to store evidence.” Jennifer shook her head lightly before turning away towards the car.
“Thank you.”
“Then please handcuff the man,” Jennifer said as she threw the handcuffs at Adam.
The young man caught him casually then nodded.
“Good.”
Some time later.
After storing the Darkblood Caterpillar carcass, Adam stuffed the unconscious middle-aged man into a police car. Now she and Jennifer are both planning to resume patrols soon. However before they left, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.
The middle-aged man looked so limp, feeling completely powerless. When he saw his hands handcuffed, his already pale expression became even more pale.
“I-This ... What happened here?” asked the middle-aged man with a frightened expression.
“Stop pretending, Bob! Otherwise, I will really hit you!”
Hearing then seeing the figure of Jennifer, the middle-aged man named Bob shivered in fear. He shrank to the corner. I really want to stay away from that woman.
“...”
Seeing that scene, Adam fell silent. Pretending to cough, he then patted Jennifer on the shoulder and approached Bob.
“Can you stop doing that, Jennifer? Instead of the police, you are similar to a thug who asks for rations to traders in the market.”
Hearing Adam's words, Jennifer blushed. The girl glared at Adam while gritting her teeth.
Ignoring the appearance of Jennifer who seemed to be biting him at any moment, Adam turned his gaze towards the middle-aged man named Bob.
“You can call me Owl, Uncle Bob. No need to worry, we have no intention of hurting you. You just have to answer our questions honestly. So-”
“J-Don't come any closer! Y-You must be the one that the bad woman told me to kill, right?” Bob tried to stay away from Adam.
“I've already told you-”
“Who will believe that sweet word when seeing your suspicious appearance!” cut Bob in an anxious tone.
“Pfftt ...” Hearing that, Jennifer could barely help but laugh. The woman looked at Adam with an interested look.
Meanwhile, Adam who was trying to be friendly felt depressed. Coupled with Jennifer looking at him while holding back a laugh, the young man felt somewhat irritated.
Adam grabbed and pulled Bob out of the car. In front of Jennifer's shocked gaze, the young man directly threw Bob to the ground. Before the middle-aged man responded, Adam suddenly slapped him.
THE PLAQUE!
“Thank God I did it slowly, Bob. Just answer my question or I'll slap you harder.”
“...”
Seeing the fiercer Adam, Bob was stunned. He wanted to complain, but did not dare to say anything.
You say this slowly? I felt blood in my mouth. Even I feel like some of my teeth are almost dislodged!
If it's slow? What about the hard ones? Are you going to break my head!
Adam looked at Bob who was looking at him with a gaze filled with grievances. He wanted to be angry, but still held back.
“Bob ..”
“Say! Why are you attacking some innocent people who didn't even have anything to do with you in the nightclub before!”
“Eh??” Bob tilted his head in question mark. “A-Are you kidding, Sir?”
“Do you really not remember anything at all? Then what do you remember last time!”
“...”
Looking towards Adam who was ready to beat himself up at any moment, Bob immediately recalled what he could remember. Nervously, the middle-aged man tried to answer as best he could.
“I-Ingatan terakhis me. S-I went to the nightclub to have a drink with my colleagues. But because of drinking too much .. s-I don't remember what happened next.
A-Did I accidentally injure someone, Sir?”
“...”
Realizing that the middle-aged man did not remember everything, Adam shook his head lightly.
I guessed it, he was controlled and lost consciousness and sanity.
Think Adam. He then asked with a cold look.
“Do you buy strange objects before.”
“Weird thing???” Bob tilted his head with a confused expression.
“Antique objects, objects with history, or unique jewelry ... such as jade pendants for example?”
Saying that, Adam's eyes instantly narrowed. He looked at Bob's body movements seriously.
Bob himself tried to remember. At that moment, he tilted his head.
“Not an antique thing or anything like that. But not long ago I did buy a jade ring that can be said ... quite rare?”
“Giok is gray?” adam asked coldly.
“Eh??? How do you know that, sir? Is that stolen goods or something? However ... I actually bought it from a jewelry store, Sir!”
“Where did you buy it!” adam cried coldly.
“D-In Blue Mist Jewelry store, Sir!” bob answered nervously.
Adam was about to say something, but police car sirens sounded from a distance. He simply looked at the middle-aged man before saying in a tone full of warning.
“Police will explain what happened to you, Bob. But you have to remember, you are dealing with something very dangerous and your life is threatened.
You'd better pretend you don't know when your friends ask. Believe it or not, it all depends on your decision, Bob.”
“...”
Looking at the silent Bob, Adam nodded towards Jennifer before leaving the place.
Seeing how Adam disappeared in the dark of the night, Jennifer and Bob were speechless.
...***
...
While Jennifer takes care of the case, Adam returns to her apartment.
It was still early in the morning and Bella had not yet woken up from her sleep. Adam decided to take a bath, change his clothes, then went to meditate. He did not know why, after breaking through the Silver Spirit level, the young man felt himself not even exhausted without even sleeping all night.
Finished meditating, Adam took a deep breath while looking at the morning sun.
“Blue Mist Jewelry, what?” muttered Adam with a serious expression.
Although initially the young man did not want to get much involved with such a case, Adam could not keep quiet because the case also made it difficult for Jennifer. Yeah, he doesn't have naive reasons like wanting to save the whole world or anything like that.
Adam just wanted the people around him to be safe. Besides, he was just trying his best to save innocent people.
Yes .. no less, no more.
