Chapter 21 - Solo Investigation

My vision was a little blurred because of the white light, my pupils that had originally shrunken now enlarged to see the situation around me that was so dark without a light source.

“Will?”

“Saku?”

“Kotori?”

I called out to the three of them, apparently they didn't hear me.

Could I be separated from the three of them? If that's the case then it's no big deal for me. At least, I have made preparations for this unexpected situation.

I touched my pocket and took out Gross-17 just in case. If my calculations are correct, then the remaining bullets are left 16 points because one magazine Gross-17 contains 17 bullets.

Splitting up with them made me a little worried, especially since they were Players that suited this kind of situation. Their experience in processing general information around the game was indeed weak, but for battles and conditions like this, they benefited greatly.

Complaining like this would be futile. Especially with the stench that pierced my nose earlier. If it's not wrong, there's a flashlight in my inventory.

I immediately opened my inventory and took out a flashlight-shaped [Item: HLC-800]. I touched the flashlight to find the active button. My only source of illumination right now is [Item: HLC-800].

I managed to turn on this small flashlight and the light produced was very bright. If not mistaken, this item could emit light up to 500,000 lumens right?

Now, I began to understand what was the source of this stinging stench.

Right in front of me, there was an animal or monster with a large body size that had died of rotting. The condition of his severe physical injuries can be clearly seen.

Um... How do I explain it?

This animal or monster has an incision wound that is wide open. Looks like part of his internal organs came out from between the incision wounds.

I couldn't bear this foul smell a bit, so I took out [Item: Disposable Gloves] and [Item: Disposable Mask].

The curiosity of the mysterious creature carcass in front of me makes me want to extract additional information from the contents of his stomach that came out. It was a bit disgusting indeed and the smell was very pungent, therefore I immediately put on [Item: Disposable Mask] to reduce this stench.

This game is very realistic, I am amazed by the development of this kind of game.

I approached the dead creature to see more clearly. This figure in front of me had a wolf-like body, pointy and long horns on its head, as well as something that grew upright on its back.

I've seen this kind of creature in Greek mythology, it's like confirming that I'm in a world filled with strange creatures. Faced with this pungent smell, my nose slowly began to fatigue so that I could endure this stinking condition.

My curiosity brought my hand to touch her. The exposed part of his skin hardened slightly and I could see some blood dripping through the hairs of his body. Looking at the condition of the wound that was so rough, it looked like the skin that was forcefully penetrated and then pulled out.

The wound was very strange especially forming a circle. I don't know what this creature is so I'm going to rely a little bit on the CODIS System to detect it.

But, can the CODIS System detect the source of its DNA?

I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't tried it, so I took a few strands of hair on his body and put them in the CODIS System that still had the remaining amount of use.

I hope that the CODIS system is able to find the source of the DNA of this creature.

I let the CODIS System work and went back to observing the creature. Slowly I tried to reverse the position of his body that was quite heavy and found the side of the body next to him in a rotting condition black. I've seen this condition before, the same condition that one of the Priestesses of the Temple of Goddess Relena survived.

Is it possible that this incident is related to the incident experienced by the Priestess?

I couldn't deduce what was going on between the two, but this same wound condition made a question lodged in my mind.

Although the body of this creature was rotting, did he manage to survive just like the Priestess? I mean, does this creature endure the same pain to survive in the condition of his body that continues to rot.

Did this creature and the Priestess experience the same thing?

Or did this creature die after getting that circle-shaped wound?

This unnatural decay and wounding left me wondering about what had happened.

At first glance, my eyes glanced at something strange on the part of his head. Slowly this flashlight illuminated the head of this creature.

I immediately took a deep breath after seeing the condition of this creature's head.

“Please once yourself.”

Not without reason I said that sentence. The head of this creature was far more terrifying than his body. Thanks to the light focused on his head, I found the face of this creature shattered and looted.

An open mouth and a torn wound on his lips signify a forced withdrawal. I slightly inserted my fingers and focused the flashlight on the area of his mouth. There are some gums that are torn off indicating something disappears from there. At that instant, I felt a pain sensation radiating to my teeth.

What kind of action has the courage to forcefully pull a tooth from a creature like this?

Whatever it is, the disappearance of the teeth of this creature is a big question that resides in my brain.

My attention continued to the wide-open eyelids, but the contents inside had disappeared.

“Buddy, actually.. what has happened to your eyes?”

Not only the teeth are missing but the important organs to see are also disappearing. I don't know how to take something like that through the bones of the head, don't the eyes have a size bigger than the holes of the bones of the head?

I don't understand how this could happen.

Looking for clues from a corpse is interesting but the information given is very little and the stomach contents that come out make me want to vomit my stomach contents also in the true sense.

I guess, I have to get used to this kind of horrible condition.

This time, I realized something else had disappeared from the body of this creature. Something that was clearly visible but because of its attention-grabbing horn, I was a little late to notice.

Beside her towering little horn, I could see a thin layer of skin with blood that had dried up around her hair. This piece that looks like it is drawn signifies the ears and large horns attached to the head of this creature are taken roughly.

Seeing the existence of various kinds of limbs that disappeared, I can confirm if this kind of action seems intentional.

I became worried about those missing children.

Will their fate be the same as that of this creature?

Imagining the violence and torture experienced by those children already made my body goosebumps.

I hope they are okay, but I have a little doubt about that after seeing the condition of this one creature.

If not mistaken, some children have been found dead, right?

Damnit damnit! The fact that continues to unfold this makes their life expectancy even lower. I need to find them soon.

As if chasing time, I was preparing to find a way out of this room. Somehow Teleport Magic separated me from the party members. It was very reasonable if the party members were separated to break down the amount of power as a defensive tactic strategy, the problem was where were they now? This place is so foreign to me! It would be helpful if there was a location map.

I rose from my little observation of this poor creature but the position of his injured leg made me re-observe the creature.

It seems there will be no end to observing the cause of death. Is this what the forensic team felt in looking for the cause of death?

I think I'm gonna enjoy this corpse for a little longer.

The injured soles of his feet left me a little guessing, with the same grooves and some evidence gathered that there must be something missing in the soles of his feet as well. What I'm guessing about the loss of some other organ in his leg proved to be true after examining the sole of this creature's foot. Unexpectedly, the entire nail of this creature disappeared somewhere.

I understand a little what's going on here. I then stood looking for something that might have disappeared from the body of this creature. Dissecting his entrails might give me a clue as to what was missing inside his body, the problem is that I don't know the anatomy of this creature. I could have dissected the wrong part and removed the evidence.

The body of this creature is huge, even I need seven steps to arrive at the back side of its body. In comparison, this is like an elongated row of three elephants. As I looked at his rotting back side, I was suddenly shocked to see an object I shouldn't have seen.

“This.. isn't it so terrible?” of course no one answered my question.

If sorted, the missing part of this creature is a vital organ. I don't know where the organ went because my goal in coming here was to find the missing children from the Teleport Magic trap. But, because of my curiosity. I'm playing around with this corpse.

[+] Akuila Sky Wolf's

\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-\=-

Iila Sky Wolf?

With this, I was slapped for the strangeness of a fantasy world. Why is there the term ‘SKY’ in it? Is this some kind of flying wolf hunting in the sky? This world turned out to be very dangerous for people who did not understand the dangers of animals or monsters like this.

If it was true this was a wolf capable of flying in the sky meant that the thing on its back was...

His wings are severed?

“Rest in peace, pal” I gave him a last salute. Seeing the condition of his severe injuries like that, he deserved to earn his final respect.

I don't know what's going on but with this wound information I got. My worry is mounting considering I still haven't found the kids I'm looking for.

This time, I rushed to leave the creature's carcass and walked down the trail of its blood engraved on the floor. Luckily, the trail of blood left behind was still clearly visible as if he had just been killed and had heavy bleeding.

Looking at the cause of death like that, I can only hope that the children trapped here do not experience the same thing.

What happens if they experience something like this? will this be a case of violence and abuse of minors? Has the law reached such a complicated stage?

Right, how does the law go here?

The trail of blood I traced led to one of the closed wooden doors. The room was dark but I saw a light coming in from between the wooden doors, I immediately prepared my gun just in case and slowly approached the door.

I remembered with the innate skill of the clothes I was wearing, I rushed to put on the head covering and activated ‘Mode Ghost’. No change was felt for me, because it only covered my existence. If I'm not careful it's the same as telling them my position.

I could hear the sound of footsteps there and the distinctive smell of alcoholic beverages. Immediately, I remembered the optional objective contained in my Quest.

I immediately ascertained the optional objectives I received.

Kill or capture?

Which one should I choose?

I was also curious how this NPC reacted when receiving the attack from the Gross-17 pistol.

There are currently two options I can choose from.

Full Stealth uses Tactical Baton in combination with the Ghost Mode effect.

Or the.. Full Aggressive by shooting them all at once tested the effective damage of the Gross-17 pistol.

I'm worried about this.

“Hahaha!! Did you see that little girl's frightened face!”

“Which little girl? There are a lot of little girls here? I can't wait to sell them after Boss is done in his experiment!”

Whatisthis?

When I have two options, there is now one option left.

I want the information in their heads!

I need it so much!

I could feel my heart beating. The adrenaline in my body increased. My brain is spinning a little fast to find an alternative pathway crippling them. A small idea was etched into my head and right now I'm preparing an HLC-800 flashlight at the maximum point of light.

My preparations are now ripe.

Now, I hurried to open the wooden door in front of me by force-kicking.

“Hey! What are you doing stupid! Eh? Who are you?”

I entered this room by forcibly breaking down. The wooden door holding me now opened wide. I can see there are seven people in this room. They seemed to be panicking with my sudden presence.

With a HLC-800 flashlight in my hand that has been set to emit a light of 500,000 lumens. Its beam of light was equivalent to a dazzling flash grade and blinding the eyes abruptly.

Thanks to the sound of the door I kicked, their attention was directed at one point and at that very moment their gaze was enlightened by this divine light.

“MATA KUUU!!”

“LIGHT WHAT IT IS!!”

I took out my Tactical Baton and beat them right at their weak point.

[Tactical Baton: Takedown, In-effect 01:20:30].

It didn't take long to keep them quiet.

At least, I can freely roam this room.

Whoever Boss they mean, I will understand after asking them. This room looks like a work space. There were many books and research equipment lined up on each of its walls. Magic circle carvings are also depicted on every wall, board, paper, and floor. That was enough to describe the condition of this room.

One thing that caught my attention in this room was..

A map of the Nestrad Kingdom and the scattered Teleport Magic location points.

“It seems, I found the Jackpot here.”
